Testing the Little Green Bottle's Effects

Testing the Little Green Bottle's Effects

After Li Xuan sat down, everyone else turned to look at him.

However, Li Xuan was young and had offended Lin Mo. The others did not dare go up and speak with him, so they chatted in small groups and ignored Li Xuan.

Li Xuan naturally did not care about their reaction. Sitting on a stone, he finished his Steamed Bun by himself before returning to the Flower Sea under his care.

The Flower Sea Li Xuan was responsible for covered only three mu and was filled with all kinds of orchids. These orchids were delicate, but Li Xuan had diligently learned how to care for various flowers and plants, so he tended these three mu of orchids very well.

Looking at the Flower Sea before him, Li Xuan sighed, then took a hoe from his thatched hut and entered the Flower Sea to begin working.

Most weeds on Douluo Continent were Blue Silver Grass, and Blue Silver Grass happened to be Soul Beasts. That made weeding far more difficult.

Li Xuan raised his hoe and swung hard. With a crisp crack, a Blue Silver Grass plant snapped in half.

Then Li Xuan began digging up the soil, trying his best to unearth the Blue Silver Grass roots. This plant had an extremely strong life force, so if its roots were not thoroughly removed, it would grow back within days.

Li Xuan also discovered that after his Soul Power Level broke through to level ten, his strength and endurance had increased considerably. In the past, removing a single Blue Silver Grass plant would probably have exhausted him enough to sit down and rest.

Now, he did not feel tired in the slightest. It was even quite easy.

Li Xuan tightened his grip on the hoe and took advantage of the cool morning weather to finish his work as quickly as possible.

By noon.

Li Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at the sky.

"I've practically cleared all the weeds from this area in one morning. No wonder Spirit Masters love raising their Soul Power Levels so much." Li Xuan laughed heartily twice, then carried his hoe toward the foot of the nearby mountain.

The noon sun was scorching, and Li Xuan had no desire to suffer under it. Besides, his work was essentially done, so he could rest for a while.

Sitting at the foot of the mountain, Li Xuan surveyed his surroundings.

After confirming that no one was nearby.

Only then did Li Xuan stretch out his hand. With a surge of Soul Power, the Little Green Bottle appeared in his palm.

While no one was around, Li Xuan intended to conduct a small experiment here and test the true abilities of his Martial Soul!

After confirming once more that there was no one else around, Li Xuan casually found a weed on the ground that was not Blue Silver Grass.

Li Xuan studied the Little Green Bottle carefully for a while before cautiously removing its stopper. He tilted the bottle slightly, and a drop of emerald-green spirit liquid slowly fell, landing precisely on the weed's leaf.

The weed's leaf was like a sponge. In the blink of an eye, it absorbed the Green Spirit Liquid.

The next second, a strange breeze abruptly appeared around Li Xuan.

"Is this wind formed from Soul Power?" Feeling the dense Soul Power carried in the wind, Li Xuan's eyes immediately widened. This phenomenon was truly bizarre.

That Soul Power poured directly into the weed that had absorbed the Green Spirit Liquid.

Then, under Li Xuan's gaze, the weed actually began growing at a visible rate.

In the blink of an eye, it reached half a meter tall. A few minutes later, it grew to one meter before slowly stopping.

Its originally tender leaves now looked exceptionally sharp. Its sturdy stalk and thick roots all showed that the weed had undergone a complete transformation.

Li Xuan slowly reached out and touched one of its leaves, but immediately pulled back his hand the next second.

The weed's leaves were abnormally sharp and had actually sliced a small cut into Li Xuan's finger.

"Did it mutate?" Li Xuan froze for a moment, then squeezed his finger to force out the tainted blood. As green Soul Power appeared, the wound slowly healed.

Those leaves were sharp enough to rival ordinary blades, but fortunately, they were not poisonous.

Li Xuan looked at the weed and thought carefully for a while. In the end, he decided that he could not leave it alive. He raised his hoe high and brought it down on the weed's roots.

Bang!

A dull impact rang out. Li Xuan's hands were numbed from the shock, yet his hoe had only sunk a few centimeters into the weed's roots. By now, its base was as thick as his forearm. Cutting it down would not be easy.

Li Xuan shook out his hands and swung several more times before finally chopping down the strengthened weed.

As the weed fell, specks of yellow light slowly began to rise from its body.

Before Li Xuan's stunned eyes, they gradually condensed into a pale yellow Soul Ring.

"Damn! I directly created a Soul Beast!" Li Xuan said in shock.

Li Xuan had never expected that a single drop of Green Spirit Liquid would cultivate a Soul Beast—and a Hundred-Year Soul Beast at that.

Li Xuan stared blankly at the yellow Soul Ring before him.

He had not expected to cultivate a Hundred-Year Soul Beast so easily.

Suddenly, an idea appeared in Li Xuan's mind.

Li Xuan's Soul Power Level had already broken through to level ten. As long as he absorbed the Soul Ring before him, he could immediately advance beyond level ten and become a Spirit Master with a Spirit Skill!

Furthermore, his Martial Soul was the Green Lotus, a plant-type Martial Soul. Though the Soul Ring from this weed was not from any particularly impressive Soul Beast, it was still a Hundred-Year Soul Ring. If he absorbed it, Li Xuan would gain a considerable boost and could continue cultivating afterward.

However, that thought only flashed through Li Xuan's mind before he dismissed it.

He already possessed the Heaven-Grasping Bottle and the system. Absorbing the Hundred-Year Soul Ring of some unknown weed would be far too embarrassing!

As for the Soul Ring, Li Xuan did not care and simply let it continue floating in the air. After all, it would dissipate soon enough.

Li Xuan opened the Heaven-Grasping Bottle and looked inside. There was not a drop of Green Spirit Liquid left.

"Each drop of Green Spirit Liquid can cultivate a Hundred-Year Soul Beast. It looks like my first Soul Ring is settled." Li Xuan played with the Little Green Bottle in his hand, unable to stop the corners of his mouth from rising.

In only three days, Li Xuan could cultivate a three-hundred-year Soul Beast. That was already close to the limit for a first Soul Ring. When the time came, he could choose a plant that suited him best, cultivate it, and obtain a Soul Ring that was exceptionally compatible with him.

After playing with the Little Green Bottle for a while, Li Xuan stored it back inside his body.

Then Li Xuan began gathering the weeds from the Flower Sea, piling the Blue Silver Grass and its roots together in preparation to carry them back to his courtyard.

Because Li Xuan and the others were Flower Slaves, they received no coal or bedding in winter. These weeds could be used for warmth or woven into grass mats to cover themselves against the cold.

There was not much Blue Silver Grass growing across the three mu of Flower Sea, so Li Xuan carried it all back to his courtyard in just two trips.

He spread the Blue Silver Grass flat across the ground to dry, intending to save it for winter.

As for that Hundred-Year weed, Li Xuan plucked off its leaves and laid them out separately in the courtyard. Those leaves would likely make useful tools as well.

After finishing all that, Li Xuan returned to his room by himself.

Lin Mo and the others would personally inspect the Flower Sea's weeding in the afternoon. If they found that the weeds had not been removed properly, they would immediately bring people to trouble the Flower Slaves.

Li Xuan's Flower Sea had been cleaned especially thoroughly, so he naturally did not need to worry about Lin Mo causing trouble for him.
