My New Life As A Plant In A Cultivation World - Chapter 4

 

The white deer came in front of Zhou Ye and lowered its head. It sniffed Zhou Ye and then nodded its head in satisfaction.

Zhou Ye moved quickly.

Although he knew that he wasn’t the white deer’s match, he still ran away.

This was the basic respect he had for his small and weak life.

Thus, instantly, he uprooted himself and started running.

The white deer got interested in Zhou Ye as it watched him running under the sunlight. It skipped and jumped behind him happily.

“Grunt~”

When Zhou Ye heard the deer grunting behind him, his small little heart started pounding furiously. His speed of running increased instantly.

The cliff was not very big but he ran around it twice.

Under the bright sunlight, he finally had to stop.

White smoke was already starting to form on his roots. The leaves lacked water and were all dried up. There were signs of withering from the tip of the leaves.

“This time, I’m really dead.” Zhou Ye sighed in his heart.

His life as a plant was going to end.

The white deer walked towards Zhou Ye and used its body to help him to block the sunlight.

It lowered its head. Its bright eyes were filled with contempt.

This was outrageous.

Zhou Ye glanced at it. He didn’t want to move anymore.

“Come on, brother. Send me off.”

Zhou Ye closed his eyes and waited.

After a long time, the pain he expected didn’t appear. Instead, he felt a cold air nourishing his body.

Zhou Ye opened his eyes.

The white deer was spurting white mist out of its mouth.

This white mist engulfed Zhou Ye’s body, allowing him to heal continuously.

Within just a few seconds, Zhou Ye was healed completely. He even gave off the feeling that he was a freshened plant.

The white deer stopped blowing white mist. It blinked its eyes at Zhou Ye.

What did this mean?

Zhou Ye was a little confused.

Zhou Ye gave a puzzled look as he felt the white mist around him.

He remembered the white deer blinking at him so he made his guess.

“Could it be that it’s asking me to absorb the white mist?”

“Hmph, I will never absorb this white mist the white deer gave me. It wanted to eat me.” Zhou Ye said with disdain.

However, he still tried.

“All-purpose points +10.”

Oh my god, how comfortable.

A second ago, Zhou Ye wasn’t doing anything. Now, he was cultivating seriously. A smile appeared in the white deer’s eyes.

It turned and leaped towards the yard.

 

Bloodline: Wild Plant (+)

Cultivation State: None

Physical State: Tempered BodyLevel Six (+).

Sutra: Little Green Asthenia SutraSmall Achievement (+).

Skill: None

All-purpose Points: 380

Lucky Draws: None (+)

The white mist that the white deer spurted provided 380 points for Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye took a deep breath.

That white deer wasn’t a simple deer at all. It was probably a powerful figure too.

When he noticed that his bloodline could be upgraded, Zhou Ye was elated.

But he didn’t dare to touch it.

The man with a big face and the white deer was still in the yard. He didn’t dare to upgrade his bloodline rashly. If that person and the deer knew what he did, they might start experimenting on him.

That might be a little dangerous.

However, he felt restless too. He really wanted to upgrade it!

Zhou Ye’s gaze landed on the Little Green Asthenia Sutra.

This was the most important source of his all-purpose points. He must increase its level.

He used 100 points and leveled up the Little Green Asthenia Sutra to its perfected state.

At this moment, Zhou Ye had a complete grasp of this advanced cultivation dharmic dao.

Based on what he knew, if he cultivated using this perfected Little Green Asthenia Sutra, he would be able to yield twice the result with half the effort.

After upgrading his Little Green Asthenia Sutra to its highest level, Zhou Ye started leveling up his physical state.

He used 80 all-purpose points to reach the major perfection stage of the Tempered Body. He skipped level seven, level eight, and level nine.

The instant he reached the major perfection state, Zhou Ye noticed that his flexibility increased exponentially. At the same time, his roots were as thick as a baby’s little fingers. His two leaves became thicker too.

Based on his current physical state, a normal adult couldn’t break him into two.

The increase in his physical state exhilarated him.

His gaze landed on his attributes once again.

Bloodline: Wild Plant (+)

Cultivation State: None (+).

Physical State: Tempered BodyMajor Perfection.

Sutra: Little Green Asthenia SutraPerfected.

Skill: None

All-purpose Points: 200

Lucky Draws: None (+)

He wasn’t able to level up his physical state anymore. Zhou Ye knew this. The Little Green Asthenia Sutra stated this clearly.

When a living creature wants to cultivate, he must have a strong body. If not, he won’t be able to handle the Qi from heaven and earth.

This was why the Tempered Body State existed.

After advancing to the major perfection of the Tempered Body, the blood in your body would thicken, allowing one to start absorbing the Qi from heaven and earth.

Zhou Ye didn’t hesitate. He started leveling up.

He used 100 all-purpose points.

Cultivation State: Qi RefinementEarly Stage.

There was no such thing as opening up dantian or meridians.

All these things would be taken care of by his cheat the moment he leveled up. He didn’t have to worry about them.

A wisp of white mist appeared on top of Zhou Ye. It entered Zhou Ye’s body.

Simultaneously, all the energy in his body started congregating and a strange change happened.

Fifteen minutes later.

His dantian appeared in his body. A green orb of air was hovering in his dantian.

This was Zhou Ye’s own strength. Cultivators called it Xuan Qi.

Once he reached the early-stage of Qi Refinement, Zhou Ye realized that he wouldn’t die even when he was exposed to the scorching sunlight.

He would at most just feel a little uncomfortable.

Qi Refinement meant a change in life. It was totally different from his previous state.

When a normal human entered the Qi Refinement state, even if he just reached the early-stage of Qi Refinement, he was able to increase his lifespan by twenty years.

Moreover, he could practice some skills and gain superhuman strength through the release of his Xuan Qi.

Someone with high cultivation would be able to cut a mountain and open the sea with a lift of his hand.

However, these were all too far away for Zhou Ye.

He gave himself a small goal. He wanted to reach manifestation.

Currently, he was at the early-stage of Qi Refinement. There was still a long way to go before he reached manifestation.

But there was no hurry. He could do it slowly.

100 all-purpose points were left. He was still able to level up his bloodline.

Zhou Ye didn’t attempt the lucky draw. He kept his all-purpose points to use on his bloodline.

As a wild plant, his potential was limited.

Zhou Ye lifted his arms and pushed them against the soil. Then, he bent down and stood up. He quickly ran back to his original location and used his leaves to push the soil away. He buried his roots in the soil.

Everything seemed so easy.

He moved his legs and embedded his roots into the soil.

His life was safe. There was no need to worry about going hungry.

He closed his eyes and emptied his heart. He started cultivating.

This time, he didn’t absorb the essence of sunlight. Zhou Ye started absorbing the Qi of heaven and earth.

A thin mist started to appear around Zhou Ye.

When the white mist touched Zhou Ye, they got absorbed into his body.

“All-purpose Points +1”

Every 15 minutes, he earned one all-purpose point. The speed wasn’t too slow.

In the small yard, in the pavilion.

The man with a big face nodded when he saw Zhou Ye was covered with the Qi of heaven and earth. There was a faint smile on his face.

“Not bad, not bad. He reached Qi Refinement so quickly.”

“Maybe he won’t need ten years to reach Manifestation”

“Unfortunately, he is just a wild plant. There’s a limit to his potential.”

The man with a big face paused for a moment when he said this.

“Maybe he can become a spirit herb through his own hard work.”

 

In the middle of the night.

The man with a big face was probably resting in his house.

The white deer was different from other deers. It laid directly on the ground and slept soundly.

Zhou Ye rushed to the side of the yard and glanced at the deer in deep sleep. Then, he silently ran back to the old tree.

From the moment he leveled up his cultivation, he had been feeling restless. He couldn’t resist the temptation to level up his bloodline.

Bloodline: Wild Plant (+)

All-purpose Points: 126.

“Upgrade.”

“Boom!”

The Qi of heaven and earth gathered above his head to form a small whirlpool.

The Qi gushed downwards and got absorbed by Zhou Ye.

In this instant, Zhou Ye underwent a complete transformation.

A plant was shimmering under the night sky, standing out among all the other wild plants.

Bloodline: Spirit herbInferior-grade Spirit.

Bloodline Ability: Quick recovery.

All-purpose Points: 26

Due to his bloodline leveling up, Zhou Ye felt much stronger instantly. His control of his body reached a new height.

Additionally, he had an additional ability – quick recovery. Zhou Ye didn’t know what this ability was and he didn’t want to try it either.

Also, he realized that after his bloodline leveled up, a refreshing fragrance appeared on his body.

He knew that if the white deer smelled it, he would be dead.

It was too dangerous.

He must cover up this smell.
