Chapter 1097 Rapid Growth And Change Of Plants

　　The three source veins were rather massive and were much bigger than the one that Lin Mu had taken before.

After all, these spirit stone mines had existed for longer and thus had plenty of time to grow. This led to the crystal becoming far denser and richer in spirit Qi. They could thus condense the spirit Qi into spirit stones far better.

”Now they’re out… will it absorb them?” Lin Mu questioned.

He watched it for about a minute but nothing happened.

”It’s… not doing anything?” Lin Mu was confused.

Xukong who was watching, suggested something, “why don’t you try willing it? The Garden of Karma is linked to your soul, so should respond to something like that.” 

”Of course!” Lin Mu accepted the suggestion and closed his eyes.

’Come on… absorb and assimilate the crystals…’ Lin Mu said in his mind.

~tremble~

And just as he did that, he could feel the ground shake.

~Rumble~

The ground seemed to have turned soft where the source vein crystals were lying and they started to sink into it. As if all this was a swamp, the crystals quickly sank. In less than a minute, the three source vein crystals had entirely disappeared, and the ground had returned to normal as well.

Lin Mu eased his brows upon seeing that the Garden Of karma had responded to his wishes. 

~Whoosh~

Then a few moments later, the air within the Garden started to churn. 

”It should be starting now.” Xukong said as he observed the spirit Qi turning chaotic in the air.

Lin Mu sat down and waited for the changes to be done. 

~shua~

About five minutes later, the spirit Qi in the Garden of Karma started to increase. The increase was rather rapid and it was also affecting the other things here.

~rustle~ Rustle~

The three plants in the garden seemed to have come alive and were moving their leaves and branches in joy. They swayed with the wind and absorbed the spirit Qi that was rising within the Garden of Karma.

It was at this time that Lin Mu also felt the Wood Spirit Qi in the air increasing in concentration.

”The increase is great this time,” Lin Mu said as he felt the wood spirit Qi.

Then in a span of a minute, the wood spirit Qi reached such a level that it was now ten percent of the total spirit Qi present in the Garden Of Karma.

”Whoa!” Lin Mu was surprised at this chance. “Didn’t think it could cause such an effect.” 

”It was bound to happen. With the source vein crystal from three peak grade spirit stone mines added to the Garden, the quality of spirit Qi would rise greatly. Usually it would enrich the plants and living beings in its vicinity, but the chance would not be this great.

But in the case of the garden of karma, there are only three plants here. Thus, the change is rather drastic.” Xukong explained.

”Hmm… so it is the same as what I have done. Concentrating resources used by a million individuals on a mere handful.” Lin Mu replied.

”You could say that,” Xukong nodded his head.

~shua~

But the series of events had merely started. As the other two plants also showed some changes. 

The Wood Spirit Tulip further spread its roots and the color of its leaves became a deeper shade of green. Since it was a Wood Elemental spirit herb, it was benefiting the most from the increased wood spirit Qi.

Its growth continued until finally a small bud appeared on its top.

”HAH! It’s finally budding!” Lin Mu felt excited.

The bud was small, being merely a centimeter in size. It had a dark green color and was tightly closed, giving one no clue about what was hidden in it.

Lin Mu continued to watch it, wondering if it would blossom right away. But his expectations were broken as the bud stopped growing after it appeared.

”I thought it would grow more…” Lin Mu muttered, feeling slightly disappointed.

”This is still great. It growing a bud is a massive thing. After all, if it grew naturally, it would take it several hundred years to form the bud. The process was basically accelerate by thousands of times.” Xukong said.

”But then, why is it not growing further?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Even the rapid growth has a limit to it. You could say that it is now at a bottleneck.” Xukong answered.

”Hmm, I see.” Lin Mu muttered.

He knew that the Wood Spirit Tulip was almost at the level of a Peak grade nascent soul realm cultivator before. And with the growth it had experienced right now, it should be almost at the Dao Shell realm.

’Perhaps when it blossoms, it will be equivalent to the Dao Shell realm?’ Lin Mu thought.

~thud~thud~thud~

And while he was observing the Wood Spirit Tulip, several sounds were heard coming from behind him. 

”Huh? What?” Lin Mu turned around and saw that the Spirit Apple Tree was the source of it.

Narrowing his eyes, Lin Mu witnessed the Spirit Apple Tree shaking its branches. And when it shook them, the spirit apples hanging on them fell down.

”Why… why is it doing this?” Lin Mu said as he literately saw the branches of the spirit apple tree bending and curling to knock off the spirit apples from the other branches.

It was almost like a man was removing dust from his shoulders.

The spirit apple tree was quick and had already removed all the spirit apples that were growing on it. And it had done this regardless of whether they were ripe or raw. Of all the apples that had fallen, half of them were still unripe.

But once all the spirit apples were gone from the tree, it started to rapidly suck the spirit Qi from the air.

”Hang on… it’s not just sucking in normal spirit Qi…” Lin Mu said as he felt the wood spirit Qi being sucked by the tree too.
