Chapter 513: Chapter 479: Just Playing Around_2

Without fruit, it reverted to its original form and immediately began shrieking angrily, its feathers exploding like a fluffy ball hitting Tang Qi’s palm.

Tang Qi smiled as he handed this Extraordinary Creature, known as the "Red Sound Bird", over to Selma who, unable to snatch up Little Wolf, was now drooling over the bird, while his gaze filled with anticipation and inquiry once again turned to a gemstone in his own hand, resembling flames.

Its shape was irregular, shining like a diamond, but inside it seemed to be burning with a restrained, brewing aura, brimming with the breath of life.

[Curios: Ancestor Fruit.]

[State: Normal.]

[Information Fragment One: A special fruit cultivated with "Demon Spirit Blood," where the Extraordinary Power for bodily evolution embedded in the First Fruit is perfectly activated, each fruit possessing different Evolutionary Powers. However, fruits separated from the original Ancestor Flower cannot be used as seeds for cultivation.]

[Information Fragment Two: This fruit possesses the power of "Rebirth." Its function is to infuse a large amount of life force with certain traits to heal severely injured, dying beings, can be used to formulate Secret Medicines, or taken directly, with a high probability of obtaining life force infusion, and also a certain chance of unknown consequences.]

...

The information glimpsed earlier is now confirmed.

"Life force infusion!"

In Tang Qi’s mind, he almost subconsciously pondered how to use this fruit to formulate Secret Medicine, wondering if there are any reference formulas in the Original Secret Medicine School.

He had to admit, Selma had given him a huge surprise. His original expectation, as a "Plant Puppet Master," was for Selma to successfully allow the Ancestor Fruit to be used as a seed, to flower and bear fruit, and then to grow a new Ancestor Fruit to provide material samples for subsequent research.

Yet, Selma had bypassed the process and achieved the goal.

She not only successfully cultivated but also activated the Extraordinary Power inside without any side effects, and different fruits possess different Evolutionary Powers.

Now, Tang Qi not only possesses knowledge from the Original Secret Medicine School but has also acquired the "Pharmacopoeia" of the Ancient Maya. His progress in Secret Medicine might need to advance towards "expert."

But even if he were to use the "First Fruit" for re-cultivation, it would be hard to replicate what is currently in front of him.

Apart from that portion of ’Demon Spirit Blood’ from the Eternal Heaven Dynasty, Selma probably indeed possesses an unmatched talent in the cultivation of Extraordinary Plants.

A brief reflection produced no results.

Tang Qi was not discouraged; Ancestor Fruit is an entirely new Secret Medicine Material.

Moreover, it is not of a low level.

Integrating it into the "Secret Medicine System" and deducing feasible Secret Medicine formulas is not a simple matter for any Secret Medicine School.

Especially since Tang Qi is making targeted deductions.

The reason he quickly secured this "Rebirth" powered fruit was because he saw a possibility in it, a chance to resolve another Level 5 Danger Source.

Hannah!

This odd loli, who split into ten due to a "Spiritual Tide Accident," posed no substantial threat to others after Tang Qi resolved their highly dangerous "psychological loop," but due to mutations, their bodies suffered severe burns.

Not only could modern medicine not save them, even some healing Secret Medicines were ineffective on them.

What Tang Qi was interested in was not the strong life force in the fruit, as it has already been validated that Secret Medicines containing a large amount of life force were also ineffective on the Hannahs.

Yet, there is a temporarily unclear "trait" within this fruit.

Tang Qi had an intuition that perhaps this fruit could have some effect, but it still required multiple validations and formula deductions.

But at least, a start has been made.

With a joyful mood, Tang Qi carefully stored the fruits and took another serious look at all the "Parasitic Beasts," estimating that the number of fruits was somewhat beyond his expectations. From the information fragments that emerged, many were repetitive.

Most of the evolutionary powers possessed were strength, speed, defense, jumping, flying... These, powers like "Rebirth," were extremely rare.

Tang Qi issued several commands to the restless Night Beast and Elf, asking the two creatures to collect fruits with special attributes, then announced amidst the cheers of the students: The competition continues.

Although this method was not very efficient, if nothing unexpected occurred, most of the fruits could be recovered.

There might be three or four "Lucky Beasts" that luckily escape capture, thus gaining enhancements such as strength and speed.

However, to some extent, this also added to the biodiversity of the "Lake Heart Island Secret Realm."

While the school continued to buzz with excitement, Tang Qi’s figure had already appeared before a building ruin in the Dragon Heart Castle Upper District, adjacent to the thick fog forest and Dark Canyon.

Behind him stood a somewhat embarrassed-looking Selma, a smiling Klyas, and Professor Eva.

The original appearance of the building could still be guessed—it was probably a "Laboratory" related to flowers and plants, or rather the Mysterious Side’s "Extraordinary Plant Cultivation Room." Not far from there lay a broken wooden sign.

The text on it, filled with a magical aura, half of which bore the name "Selma," and the other half seemed to say "Exclusive Experiment..."

Clearly, this laboratory, assigned to the newly appointed "Extraordinary Plant Class" teacher, Professor Selma, was destroyed by an explosive force from within.

The culprit was now within Tang Qi’s sight.

At the center, within a large pit, there resided a continuously radiating, half-closed giant flower showing no signs of wilting. Its stem, much sturdier than typical for flowers and emitting a green luminescence with an extremely irregular shape, seemed to be continuously changing.

Through the barely closed petals, one could vaguely see five "fruits" among the pistils.

It seemed due to the radiation continuously released by this peculiar "Ancestor Flower," surrounding plants exhibited various degrees of mutation; they spread and grew, turning this place into a zone filled with nature and wilderness in a very brief time.

Tang Qi looked ahead, automatically imagining the scene of the explosion in his mind.

Meanwhile, staring at the seemingly "sleeping" Ancestor Flower, Information Fragments began to flow.

[Curios: Ancestor Flower.]

[State: Sleeping.]

[Information Fragment One: A transcendent plant cultivated from the special curio "Ancestor Fruit" and "Demon Spirit Blood". Its extraordinary power has fully formed, and as long as it is nourished by the Spiritual Tide, it will awaken at a certain moment, bear fruits again, and spray them around.]

[Information Fragment Two: The fruits it sprays will possess different extraordinary powers, randomly parasitizing wild animals. Once picked, they can be directly consumed, or used in secret medicine formulations.]

[Information Fragment Three: Each spray will leave behind several seeds; once these seeds naturally fall off, they can be used for cultivating the second generation Ancestor Flower, with unknown effects.]

...

Another unexpectedly special scene made the corners of Tang Qi’s mouth involuntarily rise.

Although a minor "accident" occurred, Selma’s results were indeed astonishing.

This kind of "Extraordinary Plant" that could continue to be cultivated and had numerous development directions was an irresistible temptation for any Secret Medicine School.

Now, having been promoted to apprentice in the Original Secret Medicine, and having obtained the Ancient Maya Pharmacopoeia, even if Tang Qi couldn’t establish a new Secret Medicine School based on the "Ancestor Flower" in a short time, he was already ahead of other Secret Medicine Schools.

Tang Qi suppressed the impulse to increase Selma’s salary, turned around, and casually patted Gluttony, which immediately spat out a wooden box. Tang Qi opened the box, took out a fresh rubber fruit, and handed it to the somewhat dazed Selma.

Afterward, he said with a beaming smile: "This is also a very rare extraordinary fruit, take it and play around, and it doesn’t matter if it explodes again from a distance."
