Time Flower

Yue Guan accepted the order and withdrew. He had to collect Medicinal Herbs across the Entire Continent, keep it hidden from Other Forces as much as possible, and seize the biggest slice of the pie. There were still many things to keep him busy.

Nuoding Academy.

Gula swallowed a mouthful of Body Strengthening and Bone Tempering Paste. A burning sensation scorched from his stomach all the way up to his esophagus, then spread through the muscles and Bones of his entire body. Soon, his skin turned as red as a boiled lobster.

Viridian Power Pulled Natural Energy within the Body, tempering his Physique together with Heaven and Earth Origin Energy. As Gula struck pose after pose, the Energy Fluctuation kept trembling.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were cultivating nearby as well. The only difference was that their physical qualities could not compare to Gula's. Every so often, they had to leave the Gravity Field to avoid affecting their physical development or injuring their internal organs.

All three of them wore a Blue Crown Cap on their heads. As the Medicinal Paste took effect and drew in a small amount of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy, Tang San's Soul Skill could also convert a small amount of Life Force.

The amount was small, but it did not consume Soul Power. Gula had deliberately made Tang San maintain his First Soul Skill the entire time to keep the two of them from developing Hidden Injuries.

Xiao Wu had a strong-willed personality, and because she had never lacked affection since childhood, she lacked perseverance deep down.

After gritting her teeth and holding on for half an hour, she felt she had reached her limit. The muscles all over her body twitched involuntarily, and even with the Medicinal Paste, she could barely keep training.

Even with medicine, cultivation still depended on talent. Soul Masters with poor talent, even if they had enough Medicinal Paste, had very limited training time each day.

Unless they had a Support-type Soul Master helping replenish their stamina, but even then, it was very difficult to recover exhausted muscles. They had to stop training and rest while waiting to recover.

"Two cultivation maniacs."

Xiao Wu muttered, dragging her body out of the Gravity Field. She immediately felt light all over, as if even the air had become lively.

She sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated in cultivation. In truth, she was circulating the Meditation Method, drawing in Heaven and Earth Origin Energy, and converting her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast Origin into the Soul Power of a human Soul Master.

After transforming into a human, her Soul Beast Origin was enough for her to cultivate to a Seven-Ring Soul Sage. Cultivating hard merely accelerated that process.

During this process, Body Strengthening and Bone Tempering Paste happened to act as a catalyst, making even the lazy Xiao Wu unable to help becoming addicted to the feeling of rapid progress.

Of course, it also had something to do with Xiao Wu wanting to defeat Gula.

She still thought Gula did not know. In reality, Gula saw through her little thoughts as clearly as looking at fire. He simply saw that she was not slacking off, so he did not expose her.

Half an hour later, Tang San, who had the Mysterious Heaven Skill, also reached his physical limit and left the Gravity Field.

You led the Pokémon in completing a difficult training activity. Points +23.

The Corner of Gula's Mouth rose, and a smile flashed across his face.

Raising Pokémon naturally required daily training.

This was the Long-Term Mission issued by the system. It rewarded points based on the Pokémon's growth feedback, and when there was major growth, such as evolution, there would also be surprise rewards.

Xiao Wu had waited at the side for a long time. At last, when Gula finished training, she asked eagerly, "Today's training is over. Can we eat now?"

Gula nodded, took out the Energy Cubes for lunch, divided them into two portions, and handed them to Xiao Wu and Tang San. "Eat. I specially adjusted the flavors for you."

"Gula is the best!"

Xiao Wu cheered, immediately forgetting Gula's hateful face when he urged her to cultivate.

She snatched the Energy Cubes with lightning speed, then bounced over to a seat and slowly savored them.

Tang San was much more reserved, but he still could not resist the taste of the Energy Cubes.

In particular, the Energy Cubes Gula made took the two of their attributes into account and could effectively speed up the growth of their Soul Power. They held enormous appeal to him.

Exclusive Energy Cubes had flavors suited to Pokémon of different attributes. This was a field only a Grandmaster had the leisure and ability to study, so the two of them had truly made out well.

Of course, Gula did not lose out either.

The Pokémon completed one feeding activity. Points +8.

The points from one meal were not many, but with three meals a day, the accumulated total was no small number.

Now that Berry planting had entered the right track, the points he earned were more than enough to buy seeds with plenty left over, enough to maintain the daily needs of the three of them.

Gula ignored the notification sound, ate a mouthful of Energy Cube, and switched to his Celebi Martial Soul.

He found the Equipment Slot, and a pale red flower appeared before his eyes, its petals crystal clear like colored crystal.

Time Flower: Celebi Exclusive Equipment

Grass Type and Psychic Type move power increased by 30%. Removes negative statuses when leaving the field. In a forest, Psychic Type weaknesses disappear under Grassy Terrain.

This was the effect of One-Star Equipment. At Two-Star, when Celebi used Status Moves near an area with lush plants or under Grassy Terrain, it would recover 10% Life Force.

At Three-Star, under the above conditions, Psychic Type move power would increase by another thirty percent.

The same kind of Pokémon, with or without Exclusive Equipment, was practically two different species.

Gula had also discovered that training Psychic Power while gazing at the Time Flower produced twice the result with half the effort.

"My current telekinesis can probably lift objects weighing five hundred kilograms. Compared to the strength of my physical body, which can deliver over a thousand kilograms with One Punch, the gap is quite large. But with the Time Flower, catching up is only a matter of time."

"After this, my Physique Strength will hit a bottleneck and instead become a drag. I have to exchange for the Grassy Terrain disc as soon as possible."

Gula's eyes flickered. Grassy Terrain was not only related to the use of the Time Flower; standing on Grassy Terrain could also recover health, allowing him to train boldly without worry.

As a Grass Type move as well, Gula also wanted to see whether Tang San, under his guidance, had any chance of learning Grassy Terrain.

If he could, then there was still the Synthesis disc Gula had randomly obtained when he recruited Tang San. He could learn it himself and then pass it on to Tang San.

Gula raised his head and looked at the sky. The azure sky was clear and cloudless. This was the effect of Groudon's ability, Drought, and it paired perfectly with the move Synthesis. It could turn Celebi into an unkillable cockroach.

As for Celebi's ability, before evolution it was "Filter," which could reduce super-effective damage by a quarter and gave it a little more bulk.

A standard ability like "Filter" was only average in strength. It would have to wait until after evolution before it became absurd.

Gula knew there was no use being anxious, so he did not pay it much attention.

He withdrew his gaze and murmured, "Soon. If I push Tang San and Xiao Wu to train for another week, I should have just about enough points to exchange for the Grassy Terrain disc."

"Upgrading the Time Flower to Two-Star requires ten Equipment Exchange Coupons. That has to take priority."

"When the time comes, with two martial souls to switch between, under sunny weather, using Synthesis once will fully restore my Life Force. No Hidden Injuries could possibly remain. I'll be able to train without worry, and the growth efficiency of my physique and Psychic Power can increase in balance."

If he could, Gula would have liked to exchange for an Exclusive Skill, but Grassy Terrain was only an extra effect attached to an attack skill.

Unfortunately, he did not have enough Skill Exchange Coupons right now. At the very least, he would have to wait several years and publish a Thesis, so he could only use Normal Moves as a temporary measure.

After one last glance at the Time Flower, Gula finished lunch and began today's meditation.

Psychic Power only grew stronger through frequent use. This was a path no less important than Soul Power, and Gula had always persisted in training it.
