Start as a Spiritual Planter: I Have a Game Panel

Four days passed by since they returned back to the subway station, thanks to Esha called by Liam, they made it through, after their unexpected encounter with Bloodhawk Gang and their leader Shane.

Since returning to the subway with the others, he'd thrown himself into refining his space and cultivating his wood spirits, while reviving Korrin and others.

He felt the urgent need to grow stronger after their close call with the Bloodhawk Gang and Shane, and clearly felt the advantage brought by each level upgrade.

"Can't have another run-in like that without being prepared," he mused, shaking his head. Esha had led them out without a scratch, but luck like that didn't hold up forever.

Ram leaned back, his fingers brushing against the smooth surface of the Leaf-Dome Housing Plant as he took in its massive size. Staying inside this housing plant felt more pleasing than staying outside.

You can say, they look simple but they are more comfortable and luxurious. This plant he was staying in was twice as large as other housing plants, it felt more like a fortress than a shelter to him.

He still couldn't believe the energy it took to bring it to Tier 4—a staggering 1,500 points of Life energy.

However, it still looked like an oversized onion from the outside.

"These upgrades are no joke," he thought to himself. "Fifty points was all it took to raise the others to Tier 3, but reaching Tier 4 is a whole different story."

This upgraded plant had unlocked a new ability along with several impressive traits. He glanced at its details with satisfaction:

[ Name:

Leaf-Dome Housing Plant

]

[ Level:

Gold

]

[ Quality:

Rare

]

[ Type:

Housing Plant

]

[ Traits:

Source Power Collector, Resilient Structure, Growth Adaptability - Intermediate Healing Aura, Reiki Convergence Node

]

[ Source Power Collector:

Slowly absorbs source power, storing it within its core. This power can be harvested periodically once every five days, with a maximum capacity of 14/300 source power

]

[ Resilient Structure:

The outer layer has a natural resistance to harsh weather and low-level physical attacks, ensuring durability in rough conditions and self-regeneration abilities.

]

[ Growth Adaptability - Intermediate Healing Aura:

Gradually transforms the surplus Reiki into an absorbable Life Aura, that can increase the speed of recovery by an additional 200%

]

[ Reiki Convergence Node:

Concentrates ambient Reiki within the dome, enabling faster spiritual training and energy absorption. Increases Reiki concentration inside the dome by 200%, accelerating cultivation and spiritual training for occupants by an additional 50%.

]

Ram looked over these traits and was slightly impressed.

The plant's ability to gather source power had definitely improved, even if it was slow-going.

"Four days and it's only gathered 14 points. Collecting source power is tougher than I thought," he pondered.

Compared to this plant, the other housing plants he'd set aside for the cavemen hadn't even reached ten points each.

Then there was the "Resilient Structure" trait. He could already feel the plant's walls were much sturdier, able to withstand low-level attacks, and the healing aura had upgraded to an intermediate level, promising much faster recovery.

But the real gem was the Reiki Convergence Node. "Not much useful for me," he admitted, "but for Korrin, Nyra, and other wood spirits this is a huge boost. With their strong talent, they'll be able to cultivate and train way faster by staying in here."

He realized that thanks to this plant, he could also save some Life energy on more upgrades for them.

"That's a relief," he thought, leaning back. "Maybe I should focus on leveling up some of my own skills."

In the past few days, Ram had managed to use Sylvan Spirit Rebirth.

Reviving Korrin took a large amount of Life energy and spiritual power, followed by Nyra and then twenty additional fire mages.

"Bringing Korrin back was a tough one," he thought, "Thankfully, reviving the others required much less Life energy and spiritual power."

To boost their potential, he decided to use part of the soul essence from Ignara's remnant soul.

At first, he wasn't sure what to expect, but this decision led to an unforeseen transformation.

It completely altered their genetics, changing Korrin, Nyra, and the fire mages into full Half-Drows, with no trace of their original caveman lineage.

[ Name:

Post-Battle Evolution Chance:

After battles, there's a 35% chance that Korrin or nearby subordinates will gain evolution points, enabling them to overcome species limits, gain stat boosts, or learn new skills.

]

Ram scanned through Korrin's abilities, astonished at the changes. Korrin's Half-Drow bloodline had strengthened his fire-based powers and added solid fire resistance.

Compared with the Wood Spirit Body (low) awakened by those Beemen he transformed a few days before, the newly awakened Wood Spirit Body (high) trait was more powerful, which also meant that Korrin could now endure much more damage in battle, with quicker recovery and other additional effects.

"Hmm… with this change in Korrin's race, the Species Evolution Master talent won't be any effective against the other cavemen anymore," Ram mused, watching Korrin meditate a short distance away.

The transformation from caveman to pure Half-Drow had cut off the connection that allowed Korrin to benefit from the attribute boost when surrounded by other cavemen or let these cavemen gain more evolutionary points.

But there was something unexpected he hadn't fully processed yet.

When he'd used the soul essence during the revivals, every single caveman he revived had transformed into a full Half-Drow, shedding all traces of their original caveman genes.

It seemed to be a direct result of combining the remnants of Ignara's soul essence with their rebirth process.

He didn't know exactly why this happened, but he couldn't deny the advantages.

With these newly transformed Half-Drows, Korrin's Species Evolution Master talent could still reach its full potential as long as he revived more cavemen using that same essence.

"At this rate, I could eventually convert the entire group into Half-Drows before the soul essence is depleted," Ram thought with satisfaction. "The potential of a unified Half-Drow army… now that's a force to be reckoned with."

A plan was taking shape in his mind, he still didn't forget the Beemen who tried to kill him a few days back, Ram still planned on returning to the Red River Domain again, but only after gathering more soldiers as a backup.

This way he didn't need to worry too much.

Next, Ram opened his Lord's panel and navigated to the alliance store.

Last night, he'd decided to put up a batch of over a hundred Tier 3 Vitality and Spirit Mushrooms for sale, listing them in small sets to attract more buyers.

Each batch included five mushrooms and carried a price tag of thirteen points of source power each.

Scanning the sales log, he noticed that most of the mushrooms had already sold, with just a few batches remaining. He'd gained a solid 117 points of source power in one night.

"Huh… this was faster than I expected," he thought, a bit surprised.

Selling spiritual plants was proving to be a quick and profitable way to gather source power—far more efficient than relying on the slow accumulation from his housing plants.

"But this process won't work in the long run, unless I find new buyers... or cultivate different types of spiritual plants," Ram muttered, feeling encouraged.

Others might not be able to do this, but he can.

"I already wasted four days, due to being short of Source power." With a big eater like Korrin who needs two hundred points of source power every day to summon more Fire Mages, the speed at which he needs to earn Source power should not be slow.

"But today, I should collect all two hundred points by midnight and let him summon all five Rare quality Fire Mages." Ram smiled, now with a reliable way to earn source power, he could plan more ambitious upgrades and continue expanding his influence in the alliance.

Then he turned his attention to other seeds he brought before.
