Chapter 241: Brand-new Abilities, All Flower Spirits Reach Second Rank

In the bedroom.

As Su Hao had expected, at noon the second-rank plant guardian's potion was finished refining, giving off an extraordinary aura.

Subsequently, Su Hao took out five doses of the second-rank plant guardian's potion, plus five doses of second-rank moonlight grass, using up all five synthesis opportunities for today, and performed synthesis on them.

These potions are merely second-rank supernatural items, given Su Hao's current mental strength and the impending proficiency of the Synthesis Heart.

Soon after, accompanied by a blinding golden light, five green runes hovered above the desk, appearing before Su Hao's eyes.

【Second-Rank Moonlight Botanist's Sequence Rune】

Supernatural Grade: Second Rank

Effect: After consumption, one can become a first-rank botanist, gaining plant-related abilities, with no risk whatsoever.

……

Compared to the first-rank moonlight botanist's sequence rune, the second-rank rune is more complex and its aura stronger.

Subsequently, Su Hao brought the second-rank moonlight botanist's sequence rune and the second-rank plant guardian's potion downstairs, and sent a message to Huayao and the others, asking them to come over.

"This is……"

When Huayao and the others saw the potion and rune on the tea table, their faces instantly showed surprise.

Although they did not recognize these things, they could still guess what the potions and runes were.

If nothing unexpected happens, those potions are the second-rank plant guardian's potions, and those five runes are the second-rank botanist's sequence runes.

They never expected that Su Hao had just asked them yesterday how the potion digestion was going, and today he produced the corresponding potion and sequence runes.

This efficiency is simply too fast?! One can only say, as expected of the master (Su Hao older brother)!

Xiao Anni and the rest of the flower spirits all simultaneously sighed.

Su Hao paid no heed to everyone's sighs, he smiled slightly, and picked up the five green second-rank moonlight botanist's sequence runes one by one.

"Xiao Anni, Huayao, Huaxiu, Huale, Huayun, come over here for a moment."

"Okay, master (Su Hao older brother)!"

Xiao Anni, Huayao, and the others' faces instantly showed a hint of joy; they hurried forward a step and took the green sequence runes from Su Hao's hands.

"These are second-rank moonlight botanist's sequence runes. After consumption, your supernatural sequence rank will be able to rise, becoming second-rank moonlight botanists, gaining stronger plant-related abilities."

Seeing Xiao Anni and the others' expectant expressions, Su Hao paused a moment, then laughed and shook his head.

"How to use them, I don't need to say more, right?"

"Thank you, master!"

"Thank you, Su Hao older brother!"

Xiao Anni and Huayao and the others flew into Su Hao's embrace, lightly kissed his face like a dragonfly touching water, then stepped aside and, following the previous method, gently pressed the sequence runes into their glabella.

"These little rascals, really becoming bolder and bolder."

Su Hao rubbed his moist cheeks, involuntarily shaking his head with a smile.

But having said that, being able to experience such a warm scene in the new world after the apocalypse, this feeling is not bad either.

Meanwhile, after Xiao Anni and the others used the sequence runes, their bodies were enveloped by a brilliant green light, which seemed to carry the breath of life, soft and warm.

At the same time, the surroundings seemed to be lit by silvery-white moonlight, illuminating the living room somewhat; this moonlight intertwined with the green light, forming a beautiful and mysterious picture.

Under the moonlight and green light, tender green shoots quickly sprouted from the ground; these shoots, under the moonlight's reflection, appeared especially vibrant.

This wondrous scene lasted about ten minutes, after which the hazy moonlight gradually faded away.

And the green light enveloping Huayao and the others also, following along, drilled into their glabella, entered the depths of their souls, and merged into the sequence rune of the primal first-rank moonlight mage.

With the integration of this green light, the first-rank moonlight mage's sequence rune became more complex and its aura stronger.

The first-rank moonlight mage's sequence rune outwardly resembles a green sprig, with a silver-white moon hovering above it, emitting a faint light.

When the supernatural grade rises to second rank, that sprig becomes a small sapling, and the round moon in the sky becomes even more holy.

When everything settled, Xiao Anni and Huayao and the others slowly opened their eyes, feeling that they had established a special connection with the surrounding plants, enabling better communication.

At that moment, Su Hao's thoughts stirred slightly, and he opened their information panels.

【Second-Rank Moonlight Botanist】

Supernatural Grade: Second Rank

Effect 1—Cultivation: Plants tended by moonlight botanists can obtain better growth, greatly increasing their growth speed, and the harvested fruits become more abundant.

Effect 2—Moonlight: At night, wherever moonlight can shine, moonlight botanists will enter a state of surging moonlight, their mental power will forever remain at peak, and the damage they receive will be greatly reduced.

Furthermore, while in the surging moonlight state, moonlight botanists can automatically expend mental power to emit moonlight, greatly boosting the growth speed of surrounding plants and greatly increasing their combat power.

Effect 3—Natural Affinity: Moonlight botanists' luck will improve in forests, allowing them to command plants to protect themselves, but moonlight botanists cannot use any attack-type skills.

……

"The plant cultivation effect has become stronger, and an additional natural affinity ability has been added."

After reading the information details, Su Hao nodded slightly.

Although this natural affinity will cause moonlight botanists to be unable to use any attack-type skills.

However, first-rank moonlight botanists inherently lack combat ability, cannot use attack-type skills, and thus suffer no loss.

Moreover, in the future, as long as there are plants around in the forest, Xiao Anni and the others' luck will improve, and they can also command plants to protect themselves.

And they can enhance the plants' combat power for defending territory, which is simply perfect.

Subsequently, Su Hao closed the moonlight botanist's details interface, his expression turned slightly solemn, and he said to the remaining flower spirits:

"These are all second-rank plant guardian's potions; after consuming them, you too can become second-rank supernatural beings like Xiao Anni and the others, but……"

"But, consuming these second-rank plant guardian's potions is not without risk."

"If your body cannot withstand the potion's power, or cannot harmonize with the energy within the potion, then you may possibly become a treant without self-awareness."

"Becoming a supernatural being requires paying a price. This choice is yours to make. Whether you are willing to risk it for greater power is entirely up to you."

Having said that, Su Hao stepped back, stood silently aside, giving the flower spirits enough space and time to decide. The flower spirits exchanged glances, knowing that taking the potion carries danger.

But after taking the first-rank Plant Guardian potion last time, they didn't even feel any discomfort.

Translation: "But after taking the first-rank Plant Guardian potion last time, they didn't even feel any discomfort."

After a brief exchange of glances, the Flower Spirit Elves promptly picked up the potions on the table and drank them without hesitation.

Translation: "After a brief exchange of glances, the Flower Spirit Elves promptly picked up the potions on the table and drank them without hesitation."

As the potion went down their throats, the Flower Spirit Elves' bodies were gradually enveloped by a green light; within the light, they felt as if they merged with the surrounding plants, experiencing an unprecedented vitality.

Translation: "As the potion went down their throats, the Flower Spirit Elves' bodies were gradually enveloped by a green light; within the light, they seemed to merge with the surrounding plants, feeling an unprecedented vitality."

Ten minutes later, the light gradually faded, and each Flower Spirit Elf's eyes sparkled with new radiance, their aura growing stronger.

Translation: "Ten minutes later, the light gradually faded, and each Flower Spirit Elf's eyes sparkled with new radiance, their aura growing ever stronger."

What surprised Su Hao was that this time, when the Flower Spirit Elves took the second-rank Plant Guardian potion, everyone successfully advanced, with no one falling to become a treant.

Translation: "What surprised Su Hao was that this time, when the Flower Spirit Elves took the second-rank Plant Guardian potion, everyone successfully advanced, with not a single one falling into becoming a tree spirit."

We need to keep Su Hao as per glossary.

This made Su Hao suspect that perhaps the Plant Guardian sequence was designed specifically for the Flower Spirit Elves, and that the nature goddess had specially crafted the potion for the Flower Spirit Elf Clan.

Merely, the nature goddess could create a supernatural sequence that would cause no side effects for the Flower Spirit Elf Clan; what then caused her to encounter problems?

Translation: "But how could the nature goddess create a supernatural sequence that gives the Flower Spirit Elf Clan no side effects, and what caused her to encounter problems?"

After advancing to second-rank, their racial talent also increased; combined with the Moonlight Surge state, the chance of plants becoming gigantic has more than doubled! As long as luck isn't too bad, through their talent-based communication with plants, there is at least a thirty percent chance to make plants gigantic.

If luck is bad and they fail to make plants gigantic, then……

Try again tomorrow! In short, it won't be long before all supernatural plants in Su Hao's territory achieve gigantism.

Translation: "Try again the next day! In short, it won't be long before all the supernatural plants in Su Hao's territory complete gigantification."

As for the cultivation speed of supernatural plants, it goes without saying—Hua Yao and the others merely walked past the seeds of a second-rank Blazing Flame Dragon Fruit.

Especially, after Xiao Anni's transformation into a plant warrior, this change becomes even more evident.

Better: "Especially the plant warrior that Xiao Anni transforms into, this change is even more pronounced."

The gigantic Purple Gold Bamboo Warrior, although only supernatural first-rank, already possesses the strength to fight second-rank supernatural beings.
