Chapter 434: Chapter 260 Method of Awakening Sword Grass_1

"It was a bit tough, but there were some gains."

"Did that Jiancao Family tell you the awakening method??" Lu Ran was startled.

Actually, he didn’t hold much hope.

After all, the Jiancao Family also had a Legendary Plantmaster in their lineage.

Even though City Lord Master went before, he would definitely be treated as a VIP, but the Sword Grass awakening method, even if it existed, was probably the core inheritance of the other party’s family and definitely not something to be disclosed lightly.

"That, they did not, but they did confirm some of my ideas," City Lord Ye said. "However, they promised that if I bring you over, they are willing to help your Sword Grass awaken its spirit wisdom, allowing it to evolve into an extraordinary life."

Lu Ran: ???

This family sure is astute.

"If you want to help your Sword Grass awaken its spirit wisdom, I can take you to Ten Thousand Leaves City when I’m free."

"This visit confirmed that the Sword Grass needs to slay a specific creature to evolve its spirit wisdom."

"And what this specific creature is, only they know."

"Thank you, Master," Lu Ran said.

However, he was destined not to go.

Because he couldn’t guarantee that the Sword Grass, if awakened in the Breakthrough Secret Realm, could still be taken out with him.

Any life within the Breakthrough Secret Realm was impossible to contract or take out unless it was an award given by the Secret Realm, just like Lu Ran’s Plant Seed, Senior Chairman’s Elemental Eggs.

And Lu Ran’s Sword Grass was a plant directly excavated from the Secret Realm, which, essentially, still considered a relic of the Secret Realm.

If it awakened in the Secret Realm, Lu Ran feared he wouldn’t be able to take it out afterwards, which would be a huge pitfall.

Just to be on the safe side.

If the Sword Grass was a plant indigenous to Blue Star, it wouldn’t be such a big deal.

Because there were plenty of idle Beast Trainers who had tried experiments; some had their Pet Beasts mate and reproduce quickly within the Breakthrough Secret Realm.

Then, at the end of 30 days, the offspring would be sent out of the Secret Realm alongside the trialists by Infinite City.

The Beast Trainer who conducted this experiment was undoubtedly condemned on Blue Star, but his actions indeed emboldened more and more Beast Trainers.

Some even considered breeding their Pet Beasts with high-ranked species from the Secret Realm, but unfortunately, whether it’s people or Pet Beasts, copulating with projections from the Secret Realm led to no pregnancy...

Actually, by now, Lu Ran had already made some judgments.

Combining the confirmation from the Jiancao Family and what Yu Rui had said, Lu Ran guessed that for the Sword Grass to awaken, it might need to slay a certain number of "Golden Attribute Evil Beasts"!!!

The Sword Grass was famous for its sharpness.

If there were any Golden Attribute Evil Beasts’ blood that was a resource to "enhance sharpness," then it was very likely related to the Sword Grass’s awakening.

This Evil Beast Race might not be fixed; any Golden Attribute Evil Beast would do, but there would definitely be some requirements regarding the number or quality of Evil Beasts slain by the Sword Grass.

For example, it might need to absorb the blood of a Golden Attribute Evil Beast of the Overlord Clan to awaken.

With this speculative gain, Lu Ran was actually satisfied and planned to find Golden Attribute Evil Beasts to experiment with slowly after returning to Blue Star.

It’s just a pity that King of Sudden Death wasn’t of Golden Attribute. It would have been convenient if it were.

"However, Master, there’s no rush to awaken the Sword Grass recently. Carrying it won’t be convenient once it awakens into a life form,"

"At that time, it won’t be able to enter Spatial Equipment."

"That is true," City Lord Master nodded. "That indeed poses a problem, but luckily, the Sword Grass isn’t very large, and carrying it with you should be manageable once you get used to it."

"One Sword Grass would be fine, but it will become difficult once there are more Plant Beasts," Lu Ran smiled wryly. "Master, I plan to challenge the Tree King Ruins."

"If I can obtain the Tree King Ruins, get that kind of Space Treasure that can hold living things, I won’t have to worry about carrying living creatures!"

"After clearing the ruins, then I’ll look for someone to help awaken the Sword Grass!"

City Lord Ye: ?

"Are you serious?" She looked at Lu Ran blankly, saying, "The Tree King Ruins have been there for so many years without anyone clearing them, you this..."

She couldn’t understand Lu Ran’s behavior.

To make it a bit more convenient to carry a Monarch Species Plant Beast...

So, he went to the effort to acquire an epic-level Space Treasure... Is this a normal way of thinking?

Although Lu Ran was strong, she too didn’t hold much hope for him.

"Are you hungry, Master?"

Lu Ran suddenly asked City Lord Master.

"What is it?"

"Let me, your disciple, prepare a grand meal for you to refresh from your journey. Actually, I also have a profound understanding of culinary arts!"

City Lord Ye was surprised, saying, "You can cook?"

...

That evening, Lu Ran took over from the chefs at the City Lord’s Mansion, handling the dinner for the day.

Using his Cooking Intent, Lu Ran cooked several of his signature dishes, inviting not only his mentor from the City Lord’s Mansion but also the accompanying Elder Tian and Senior Sister Gu.

After eating Lu Ran’s cooking, all three were amazed. They hadn’t expected Lu Ran to be not only strong but also to possess such impressive culinary skills.

"Delicious."

Originally, Gu Yu felt uncomfortable about being eliminated by Lu Ran, but her mood instantly improved after eating his food.

Food can indeed heal the soul.

At the dining table, Elder Tian enviously said, "Junior sister, what stroke of luck did you have to accept such a good disciple?"

Elder Tian had not envied City Lord Ye for Lu Ran’s displayed talent potential, but Lu Ran’s cooking skills had started to make her feel jealous.

If she had such a disciple, wouldn’t she be able to enjoy such delicious food every day?

"Yu Er, you should learn a bit. Being a girl, instead of always focusing on useless things like music, chess, literature, painting, and dance, it would be more practical to learn cooking and sewing!"

"I..." Gu Yu chose to continue eating, not wanting to speak.

"Nephew Lu, who did you learn this culinary art from?" she asked.

"From Dog... from my Uncle Gou. Uncle Gou is my father’s sworn brother and an extremely skillful chef." Lu Ran’s back was soaked with sweat, almost slipping up in his response.

"Elder Tian, you flatter me." In truth, the chefs from the City Lord’s Mansion weren’t bad either. After all, they were chefs hired by a Legendary Beast Trainer. Even with the advantage of the Flame Spirit, Lu Ran couldn’t claim to completely outclass them; his dishes were simply more novel, adding a sense of novelty for those trying them for the first time.

"Not bad. By the way, have you talked to your master about the Tree King Ruins?" Elder Tian suddenly asked, putting down her food.

"Tree King Ruins... No wonder he suddenly mentioned the Tree King Ruins. It must be because of you, Senior Sister," City Lord Ye said helplessly.

"If you are planning to go, I’ll bring Yu Er along too."

"Although I don’t expect her to pass, it would be a good gain for her to learn from a Tree King of the same level."

Gu Yu continued to eat, not wanting to speak, experiencing the pain of being compared to "someone else’s disciple."

At the same time, City Lord Ye looked towards Lu Ran.

Lu Ran’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Alright, then in a few days, let’s go together." City Lord Ye shook her head. Before teaching Lu Ran the ways of Plant Mastery, it would be good for him to witness the strongest Plantmaster of the century.

Teaching all sorts of things at once was not her style.

Exploring the world first with her disciple – this method of teaching seemed to suit her better.

"Thank you, Master!" Lu Ran smiled and then said, "By the way, Master, didn’t you challenge the Tree King Ruins before? If it’s a Level Three Tree King, roughly what sort of power configuration would it have?"

City Lord Ye said, "At the Level Three stage, the Tree King would have two Pet Beasts, one is the ’Moon God Tree’ belonging to the Middle Overlord Clan with Grass and Time attributes."

"The other is the Harvest Dragon of the Lower Overlord Clan, a rare dragon-shaped plant beast."

"Moon God Tree, Harvest Dragon..." Gu Yu slowly lifted her head.

"Two troublesome plant beasts," said City Lord Ye. "The Harvest Dragon is particularly special as its Species Level can increase with age. As a juvenile and during its growth, it’s a Lower Overlord, in its prime it’s a Middle Overlord, and in old age, it becomes a High-Level Overlord."

"The older it gets, the stronger it becomes."

"As for the Moon God Tree, it can temporarily advance the age of the Harvest Dragon with its Time Attribute skill, granting it the strength of a High-Level Overlord. Therefore, this pet can be considered a High-Level Overlord from the plant-based Dragon Clan."

Lu Ran was stunned. Just at Level Three and it could already temporarily change its age state? It seemed far more powerful than Kitty’s Time Attribute abilities. Hmm, the foresight wasn’t bad either...

It mainly reminded him of what Kitty had mentioned about regret concerning the Senior Chairman.

Had the Senior Chairman been younger by a few decades and, like most Beast Trainers, been between 20 to 30 years old, he might have been able to fight against the entire Beast Trainers of a great nation alone.

But now, constrained by age, even though some still regarded him as the strongest in the world, the Senior Chairman never used his full strength in battle. Because he was too old, his physicality couldn’t keep up with younger people, so he was unable to fully employ his Beast Training Techniques.

Even in battle, he would only let his Pet Beasts fight; he didn’t use his Beast Training abilities to enhance them.

If the Senior Chairman could contract a Moon God Tree and temporarily become young again, restoring his physical peak, perhaps Kitty’s wild imaginings of him shining bright in his old days could come true.

"Similarly, the Moon God Tree can also temporarily increase the age of allies and reduce the age of enemies."

"Many challengers, when facing it, would be turned into juveniles, greatly diminishing their strength."

"Moreover, the Moon God Tree can also apply ’Time Retrospection Marks’ to itself and plant life. If it or its plant allies suffer severe, fatal injuries, they can revert to their original state through time retrospection, restoring injuries and returning their vitality to its peak."

"With so many overpowered skills combined in one, defeating them is as difficult as reaching heaven."

"Indeed, it’s overpowered..." Lu Ran murmured.

It could even use time retrospection to heal injuries.

"Heh, now you know why I said that so many talents also find it hard to clear it, no?" Elder Tian said with a light smile.

At every level, this Tree King was an invincible existence. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be dubbed the woman with the strongest talent and potential for hundreds of years.

[That’s still okay.]

However, after hearing all this, Lu Ran felt it wasn’t completely impossible to tackle, although he might need to make frequent use of the Deer Horn of God, and it was also time for the Crow General to take action.

To be honest, normally, the Crow General might be the weakest of his three Pet Beasts in terms of combat strength.

But, if the Deer Horn of God could assist, letting the Dark Crow sacrifice dozens of eyeballs to cast the ultimate curse, he doubted many beasts could withstand it...

The Tree King has been dead for so long, and after the remodeling of the Relic Space, it shouldn’t possess such an intelligent consciousness to dislike Undead and the Power of Evil God, right???
