Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 6 This ornamental willow tree loves to swing a sledgehammer.

Hearing Ge Bai say this, Gu Liu swayed her willow branches, looking somewhat lazy.

"I never thought of it. I've had a spiritual consciousness for over ten years and I roughly know what a contract is, but I really never thought of making a contract with a human."

What are the benefits of making a contract with you?

After thinking about it, Ge Bai realized that this ancient weeping willow was actually well taken care of, with researchers checking it regularly and it receiving nutrient solution.

All I could offer him was a slightly different path.

"I can help you evolve."

"Hmm? What kind of evolution can a willow tree undergo?"

Gu Liu became interested.

Ge Bai shrugged: "I don't know now either. I'll only know once I get the contract."

"Isn't that like trying to get something for nothing?"

That's what Gu Liu said, but one of his willow branches voluntarily drooped down and extended, reaching to Ge Bai's head and picking up a strand of her hair to wrap around it.

It's clear that he has high expectations for evolution.

"I really didn't lie to you. After forming a contract with you, I was able to communicate with you through spiritual consciousness so that I could understand you more fully and find the path to evolution."

Ge Bai tried his best to explain the [Spirit Plant Cultivation Chart] in a logical way.

"Those researchers studied me for a long time, but they couldn't figure out how I evolved."

"I heard that the seedlings taken from me for propagation are now just ornamental plants."

When the topic of admiring spiritual plants came up, Gu Liu showed little interest.

Ge Bai didn't follow up on his question. Instead, he asked, "What do you want to evolve into? What are your dreams?"

Why does the art style feel off?

Suddenly it turned into a CCTV interview style?

This stunned Gu Liuwen, who was momentarily speechless.

He hesitated and stammered.

A nearby bush chimed in, "Him? All he ever wants to do is stay close to Peach Fairy."

As Gu Liu was deep in thought, she heard the shrub say this and suddenly swung her willow branches again, desperately refuting it.

"No, that's not true!"

"I want to become incredibly powerful."

"That's right, when those bad birds come and peck at my leaves, I can chase them all away."

For the ancient willows in the botanical garden, being unable to outmaneuver the birds seems like a huge problem.

Although the childish words sounded somewhat funny, Ge Bai keenly realized that this ancient willow tree harbored a violent dream of swinging its arms and beating people up!

Her eyes lit up; this was a good dream, worth nurturing.

Instantly, she became even more concerned than before, and secretly made up her mind: she had to kidnap him.

"Then you need to evolve offensive skills like the Devil Vine."

Ge Bai carefully considered his words.

Gu Liu listened with some disdain.

"What's so great about those creeping vines that cling to the ground? Their branches aren't even as hard as my willow branches, and their flexibility is just average."

"Objectively speaking, the hardness of a Devil Vine branch below the first level might not be as strong as yours, but from the second level onwards, it is definitely much stronger than you."

"Can you help me advance to Tier 2?"

Ge Bai thought about it seriously for a moment, then used his spiritual sense to look at the [Spirit Plant Cultivation Chart].

Judging from the current situation, the system is right. She is confident that she can pull Gu Liu into the second tier.

"No problem, I promise."

"Then, can you guarantee I have offensive skills?"

After considering it for a moment, Ge Bai felt that it wasn't a big problem.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It should be fine."

Seeing that Gu Liu was still hesitating, she continued.

"Okay, let's make a contract first. You wait while I study it. If I really can't help you learn the skill, then we'll break the contract and I'll send you back. If you're not happy about that, I can't possibly tie you down for life."

Gu Liu thought about it for a moment and was quite tempted.

The banyan tree next to it listened quietly for a long time, and then it spoke up.

"Xiaoliu, if you want to go out for a walk, go with this girl."

"The wind told me she wasn't a bad person."

Ge Bai was somewhat surprised, looked up at the banyan tree, and smiled happily.

Perhaps it was because of the high affinity of the spiritual plants, but ever since she entered this botanical garden, she seemed to truly feel the comfort that the spiritual plants brought her.

Although she really wanted to contract a spiritual plant, she genuinely had no ulterior motives.

Hearing what the banyan tree said, the ancient willow seemed to have made up its mind.

"Alright, I'll make a contract with you."

"There's something else. Could you come with me later to ask Peach Fairy if she's willing to form a contract with you?"

How much does Gu Liu like Peach Fairy?

Ge Bai instinctively replied, "No problem."

The little bushes next to it smacked their lips.

"Liu Liu, you're dreaming. Peach Demon Mother won't pay any attention to you; she despises you the most."

As if his sore spot had been stepped on, Gu Liu was furious.

"You're not the Peach Blossom Fairy, how would you know!"

"Hehehe."

The shrubs swayed their dense leaves.

Ge Bai gently stroked the trunk of the ancient willow tree.

"Alright, stop being so stubborn. Where does Peach Fairy live? We'll go check on her in a bit and ask her, it's that simple."

Gu Liu huffed angrily, and her drooping willow branches wrapped around Ge Bai's wrist.

"That's right, ignore them, come on, let's make a contract."

Ge Bai was surprised that things went so smoothly and was somewhat excited.

He calmed his mind and then used his spiritual sense to draw out the contract runes.

Golden runes gradually appeared in the air.

Deep within his spiritual consciousness, the system flashed and quietly added something to the contract runes, making the runes shine even brighter.

However, neither Lingzhi nor Gebai noticed this.

As the runes gradually solidified, Ge Bai activated his spiritual power and slowly pushed the contract runes toward the ancient willow.

Gu Liu also actively mobilized his own spiritual power and smoothly accepted the spiritual contract runes.

The spiritual energies of the two parties intertwined, and the contract was formed.

In an instant, Ge Bai seemed to feel that his soul was connected with Gu Liu's and that their hearts were in sync.

Strong spiritual energy fluctuations also erupted from the branches of the ancient willow.

-

Simultaneously.

The Beijing-Hong Kong Institute of Plant Research, located dozens of kilometers away.

A previously stable reading on an instrument suddenly spiked, triggering a sharp alarm beep.

Lu Nan, a researcher in a white coat, was startled when she spilled her coffee all over the floor. She had just brewed a cup of coffee and was about to enjoy it leisurely when she was startled.

He didn't even bother to wipe it clean, threw the coffee cup on the table, and turned to run towards the buzzing machine.

He pushed up his glasses and stared intently at the readings on the instrument, but the beeping didn't last long and gradually subsided.

At that moment, a middle-aged researcher with gold-rimmed glasses, a square face, and gray hair pushed open the door and entered.

"What happened? Which monitoring device gave a high spiritual energy burst alert?"

Lu Nan turned around and said somewhat hesitantly, "Professor Luo Wan, the notification only lasted for two seconds; it was from a monitoring point in the botanical garden's forest area."

Professor Rowan carefully examined the abnormal spiritual energy waveform diagram that the instrument had just generated, and then picked up the phone.

"Hello, is this Blue Star Botanical Garden? This is the Beijing-Hong Kong Institute of Plant Research."

"We have detected possible fluctuations of spiritual energy within the botanical garden, and we cannot rule out the possibility of plant mutations."

"Don't panic. It's not certain, just possible. We'll send researchers over right away."

"Please also pay close attention. We will communicate with you immediately if any special circumstances arise."

-

Let's turn our attention back to the botanical garden.

The spiritual energy emanating from the ancient willow quickly stabilized.

A crisp system voice rang in Ge Bai's mind.

"Congratulations, host, you have completed the beginner's task: successfully formed a contract with the same type of spiritual plant."

"Congratulations, host. There is currently no risk of being eliminated."

What a spoilsport! We were all so happy to have successfully signed the contract and brought home a huge, ancient willow tree.

Just indicate that the task is complete; why bring up "annihilation" when there's nothing else to do?

Ge Bai rolled his eyes. This system seemed afraid that he would forget about the matter of erasure.

The system, oblivious to Ge Bai's eye roll, continued issuing its emotionless notifications.

"The [Spirit Plant Cultivation Manual] is now available. You can view the details page for [Weeping Willow]."

"Please take good care of your spiritual plant. The next system task (beginner) will be released in 24 hours."

Ge Bai ignored the system and directly activated his spiritual sense to open the [Spirit Plant Cultivation Chart].

【Species: Weeping Willow】

[Age: The spirit plant's age is 212; the spirit's consciousness was born at age 11]

[Spiritual Power Value: Tier 0, Level 2 (31/200)]

[Initial Attribute: Wind]

【技能：柳鞭-入门（0/100）；风刃-入门（0/100）；暴风柳刃锤-入门（0/100）】

Although he didn't know much about the skills, seeing that Gu Liu did indeed have a skill bar, Ge Bai immediately felt relieved.

Now I can finally give an explanation to my boss, Da Liu.

Closing the cultivation diagram of the spiritual plant, Ge Bai let out a long sigh of relief, looked at Gu Liu, and smiled with exceptional ease.

"DaLiu, believe me, you can become amazing!"
