First Spirit Skill

First Spirit Skill

Li Xuan released his Soul Power once more. The Nine Hearts Nine Flames Lotus emitted a burst of yellow light, which gathered into a yellow halo. The halo then expanded, passed over the Nine Hearts Nine Flames Lotus, and enveloped Li Xuan.

Before he could marvel at it, Li Xuan felt a force from the Soul Ring flow into his body, and a sudden insight emerged out of nowhere.

"Burn the heart, clarify the soul, control the mind, shake the wits—First Spirit Skill, Burning Heart Seal!"

Li Xuan recited it involuntarily. Then, forming seals with both hands, he created a fist-sized glowing mark of golden-red light in his palm.

"Go!"

Li Xuan shouted angrily and thrust his palm forward. The light seal flew from his hand and landed directly on the nearby wall.

Boom!

The already somewhat unstable thatched hut could not withstand Li Xuan's devastation and collapsed with a crash...

A few minutes later, after the dust settled, nothing remained on the ground but broken walls and rubble.

Li Xuan himself was buried beneath the fallen hut.

After a while, Li Xuan finally crawled out from beneath a pile of thatch with great effort.

With a shake of his head, dust scattered everywhere.

"Good grief, this thing packs quite a punch. It blasted my house right down." Li Xuan grumbled as he dusted himself off.

Li Xuan had never expected the Burning Heart Seal to be so powerful!

He then glanced at the flower seedlings in the courtyard and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the collapse of the thatched hut had not affected them. Otherwise, Li Xuan would have had plenty to keep him busy over the next few days.

Li Xuan sighed helplessly and stepped out of the ruins. The weather was pleasant now, and he would not catch cold even if he slept outdoors for a few nights, so there was no need to rush the repairs.

After patting the dust off himself, Li Xuan sat down in the courtyard and began recalling the exact effects of his first Spirit Skill.

"The first Spirit Skill isn't just a long-range attack; it's also a marking attack. Anyone hit by the Burning Heart Seal can have their emotions triggered through the Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame within a kilometer. Not bad, not bad. It's just that the spirit chant is a little..." Li Xuan was a normal person, after all. Shouting something like that before a fight was far too embarrassing.

But once he remembered that everyone on Douluo Continent fought like this, he got over it.

On Douluo Continent, not shouting something before a fight would make him seem a little out of place.

Li Xuan suddenly thought of all the plants in his room. He smacked his forehead and hurriedly began searching through the ruins.

Luckily, Li Xuan was fortunate enough that the Void Grass and Bread Grass were both unharmed. Otherwise, he would have suffered a huge loss.

After settling those plants, Li Xuan stopped paying attention to the ruins before him. He exchanged points for a boxed meal and began eating.

After a while, full and satisfied, Li Xuan got busy again.

He began transferring the seedlings that had finished Cultivation from their nursery containers into flowerpots.

Li Xuan worked for the entire day, finally stopping only as the sun set.

After a whole afternoon, Li Xuan had transplanted just over a hundred seedlings. More than six hundred remained, but another two or three days should be enough to handle them all.

Next, he only needed to return the seedlings to the Flower Slaves. Then Li Xuan's task of cultivating exotic flowers and rare herbs would be complete.

Suddenly, Li Xuan's stomach started growling again.

"Didn't I eat lunch already? Why am I hungry again..." Li Xuan said helplessly. His stomach really was letting him down.

With no other choice, Li Xuan turned his gaze toward the Bread Grass beside him.

This Bread Grass had been in Li Xuan's hands for several days already, but he had been busy cultivating the Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum and had not had time to cultivate the Bread Grass.

Now that he had absorbed his first Soul Ring, there was no rush to cultivate other Heavenly Treasures and Immortal-Grade plants. The Green Spirit Liquid produced by the Little Green Bottle could therefore be used on the Bread Grass.

As the sun set, Li Xuan went to the Bread Grass's pot, found the ever-reliable Clay Pot, and simply diluted the Green Spirit Liquid.

The Bread Grass's description said that it could bear fruit in ten days, so it did not need an entire drop of Green Spirit Liquid. It could be used after dilution.

Holding the Clay Pot filled with water, Li Xuan tilted it slightly, and a drop of Green Spirit Liquid fell onto the Bread Grass.

In the blink of an eye, the Bread Grass grew from palm-sized to half a meter tall. At the same time, six fruits beneath its emerald-green leaves kept growing until each was as large as a basketball.

Six basketball-sized fruits hung from the thin stalk.

Li Xuan hurriedly picked all six fruits, afraid that if his hands were too slow, the Bread Grass's stalk would snap beneath their weight.

But to Li Xuan's surprise, after all six Bread Fruits had been harvested, the Bread Grass rapidly withered away and then dissolved into Soul Power, dispersing into the air.

"So the Bread Grass's seeds are single-use." Li Xuan scratched his head and spoke helplessly.

He had thought he would never need to worry about bread for the rest of his life, but it turned out to be only one meal.

Suddenly, words appeared on the light screen before Li Xuan.

[Congratulations, Host, for harvesting six Bread Fruits. You have gained 6 experience points in the secondary profession "Herb Farmer."]

"It even increases secondary profession experience. Great!" Li Xuan said happily.

The Bread Fruits before him resembled large cabbages, with layers upon layers of green leaves wrapped around whatever was inside.

Li Xuan took one Bread Fruit and quickly peeled away its outer leaves.

Inside was actually a Dirty Bread!

The outer leaves were like wrapping paper, while the Dirty Bread inside was completely undamaged.

Was that reasonable?

That was not reasonable at all!

But it came from the system, so reasonable or not, it had to be reasonable. The system was just that domineering.

Anything produced by the system would never harm him, so Li Xuan did not hesitate and stuffed the bread directly into his mouth.

Sweet, soft, and glutinous, with a rich chocolate aroma.

Li Xuan closed his eyes and savored the storm of sweetness sweeping across his taste buds.

"This is amazing. Nothing eases human anxiety like sweets!" Li Xuan said contentedly after swallowing the Dirty Bread.

Li Xuan suddenly noticed that after he removed the Dirty Bread, a round object the size of a glass marble appeared beneath it.

Li Xuan immediately checked its attributes.

[Plant: "Dirty Bread" Bread Grass]

[Quality: Heavenly Treasure]

[Cultivation: 0 years]

[Description: A seed with magical functions. Its growth cycle is ten days, and it can bear one "Dirty Bread" Bread Fruit. It has low requirements for its surrounding environment.]

[Note: A system-exclusive plant with magical functions.]

"With this seed, I can mass-produce Dirty Bread!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

Li Xuan then opened the other five Bread Fruits. They contained Egg Skin Meat Floss Bread, Yogurt Strawberry Jam Bread, Cream Sandwich Bread, Large Rye Bread, and a Steamed Bun.

Although the Steamed Bun felt a little out of place, it was better suited to Eastern babies' stomachs.

Li Xuan suddenly thought of something. He took out the Large Rye Bread seed and planted it in a flowerpot.

Dear readers, happy weekend! I had to work today and only just found time to write. I'll try to write more tonight and post an extra chapter for you all.
