The Shi family also attached great importance to Lu Ran's affairs. On that day, the second elder of the Shi family drove to the royal family, the Teng family, in Shujie City.
Go and ask Lu Ran about how the sword grass awakens.
At the same time, the third elder of the Shi family immediately went to the City Lord's Mansion to apply for permission for Lu Ran to enter the Death Forest in advance.
That night.
The Shi family held a banquet to entertain Lu Ran. At the banquet, Lu Ran met more young people from the Shi family, including the cousin that Shi Ze mentioned...
However, even if the Shi family wanted to bring them together, this wild elder sister ignored Lu Ran and was not at all like the old men of the Shi family who tried to curry favor with the powerful. She left directly after dinner.
In fact, not everyone is willing to please beastmasters with good backgrounds. Lu Ran still likes such people because he lacks this good quality.
At this time, while eating, Lu Ran's mind had drifted to becoming an apprentice to the legendary imperial plant master.
If one wanted to quickly master the cultivation of plant life, becoming a disciple of a legendary master was undoubtedly the fastest way, just like when he became a disciple of a legendary necromancer and became the Holy Son of God. This directly allowed Lu Ran's understanding of the necromancy system to surpass that of Blue Star by 100 levels.
The same applies now. As long as you can become the city lord's apprentice, your exploration of this world will increase dramatically.
"Brother Lu, my cousin is just like that, don't mind it. By the way, your pet has both wind and ice elements, right? I'll send its food to you later." Shi Ze held the wine glass and wanted to clink glasses with Lu Ran who was holding orange juice.
"Dry." Lu Ran drank the orange juice in one gulp.
…
Shi family, a separate courtyard.
After Lu Ran came back, the second elder of the Shi family brought Shi Ze to visit immediately.
First, he brought some rare meats, vegetables and fruits suitable for ice and wind-type dogs and beasts, and second, he brought important information to Lu Ran.
The thin second elder of the Shi family sat on a chair, looking at Lu Ran beside him, and said, "Little Brother Lu, I found out for you!"
“What do you mean?” Lu Ran’s eyes lit up.
Beside him, Ishizawa was also listening attentively.
"Legend has it that in the far west, on the green grassland, there is a super main city called Manye City that is similar to Tree Realm City."
"In Manye City, there is a royal family, the Ji family."
"Their family members all focus on contract sword grass!"
"If you want to know how to awaken the sword grass, maybe they know a thing or two."
"How far is Wanye City from Shujie City?" Lu Ran asked.
"If we ride on a wind-type flying pet and travel day and night, we can arrive in less than half a month." said the second elder.
Lu Ran: ??? Excuse me.
We don't have enough time! "In addition to this news, the Fuji family also gave me a guess."
"That is, if you want to awaken a plant, first, you need to have an excellent growth environment, and second, you need to hone its characteristics to the extreme!"
"What do you mean?" Lu Ran asked.
"For example, my little brother, your sword grass was directly pulled out by you... Although you have the means to preserve it, it is actually very difficult for it to develop intelligence without its original growth environment."
"Furthermore, each plant has its own characteristics. For example, the characteristic of the dragon blood willow is that it can only grow quickly and vigorously by absorbing dragon blood."
"So, if the Dragon Blood Willow wants to develop intelligence, it must be watered with a large amount of dragon blood."
"Similarly, the characteristic of the sword grass is that it is as sharp as a sword and can cut through everything."
"Therefore, the Fuji family speculated that in order for the sword grass to awaken its spiritual intelligence, it needs to kill a lot of lives, or kill something else."
Lu Ran fell into deep thought. This statement should be a continuation of the second awakening method mentioned by the Shi family before.
Different plants have different awakening conditions.
As for the awakening condition of the sword grass, outsiders speculated that it was to kill! However, what to kill seemed to be the key.
Just like the dragon blood willow tree needs to absorb dragon blood, pig blood and dog blood are completely ineffective.
Just like the corpse dog at the beginning, the birth of the spirit can only be accelerated by constantly killing souls. If it is done by cutting stones or trees, it will definitely not be accelerated.
So, if the sword grass wants to awaken, it also needs to kill something specific? What could it be?
Animals, plants, souls, metal elements? Although he didn't know what to cut to speed up the birth of the sword grass, and he didn't know if this method was correct, at least the Shi family did provide Lu Ran with an idea.
Next, you can try to let Jiancao cut some strange things to expand your employment scope.
As for the growth environment of the sword grass, Lu Ran felt that the kitchen utensil turning into a spirit pot was a good choice. After staying here for a few months, the sword grass not only did not wither, but became sharper and sharper.
It's really like raising a sword pot.
As a result, Lu Ran hasn't used the Soul-Transforming Pot to freshen up food for a long time.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Lu Ran has become wealthy and can buy fresh food directly, so the demand for the Soul-Transforming Pot is not that great.
After Lu Ran thanked the second elder of the Shi family for the information he provided, the second elder left Lu Ran. Shi Ze did not leave immediately, but looked at Lu Ran with a smile.
"Brother Lu, take a look, are the foods enough?"
"I have never fed a pet of a dominant race, so I don't know how much it eats..."
Shi Ze pointed to the boxes of rare dog food that were carried in from the yard and said, "If it's not enough, I'll send someone to bring more."
"It's enough. I have a lot of food here." Lu Ran smiled and didn't care too much about such a small matter.
Shi Ze said with emotion: "Brother Lu, raising a pet of the Overlord race must cost a lot, right?"
The higher the race level and the higher the growth level of the pet, the greater the nutritional demand for three meals a day.
Most people really can’t afford it.
If the food is not adequate, the pet's growth level will not increase, and it may become too hungry and have no energy to fight during battle.
In this case, plant life, which can survive by simply taking root in a fertile soil and absorbing the power of sunlight and water, has a huge advantage over animal life.
"That's the truth." Shi Ze nodded and asked, "Brother Lu, I heard that the pets of the overlord race can transform their bodies and optimize their blood. Is that true???"
Obviously, Shi Ze cares so much about Lu Ran because he wants to learn more about the overlord race from Lu Ran.
"Well... that's right. However, the corresponding abilities also need to be developed by the pet itself."
"For example, my dog beast is still young and doesn't know these things yet."
"It's true!" Shi Ze's eyes lit up.
The special thing about the king race is that they possess tangible deterrence and the king's aura, which can easily crush creatures with weaker spirits than themselves.
The special thing about the Overlord race is that they not only have extremely high control over attribute energy, but they also have extremely high control over their own bodies.
A dominant race with extremely strong adaptability, they want to fly and need to fly, so they will quickly evolve real wings. They want to resist the cold, so their bodies will quickly evolve extremely cold-resistant hair. They can be considered a perfect species in nature.
In addition, if they want to save energy and life, they can enter a "sleeping state" similar to "hibernation" at any time. By reducing energy consumption and entering a dormant state, they can live for a very long time. Any overlord can sleep for hundreds of years without any problem.
The ancient creatures of Blue Star that have survived to the present day are basically the dominant races, and it is because of this ability.
On Lu Ran's side, since King Death, Dark Crow, and Boss Ha had just evolved not long ago and had not even thoroughly studied the energy techniques, Lu Ran was not in a hurry to let them develop the true ability of the overlord race, body control! However, Lu Ran estimated that he would need to develop it later.
For example, the King of Sudden Death.
The body is currently too large.
This means that their daily activities, even sitting down to watch a movie, require a huge amount of energy.
If it weren't for Lu Ran and Infinite City, they would have difficulty finding food on Blue Star and would have to spend most of their time sleeping.
Therefore, Lu Ran hopes that they can gain abilities similar to "multiplied traits" through body manipulation.
It can make the body smaller.
In daily activities, try to stay as small as possible to conserve energy.
During battle, he would restore his original form and unleash his strongest power.
In this way, the range of activities can be greatly increased.
This is where the advantage of the dominant race lies. As long as they are willing to develop the ability to control their bodies, it is equivalent to getting a "shrinking trait" for free.
"That's good." Shi Ze sighed, "I hope my Moon-Swallowing Dog can evolve into a dominant species someday!"
"I really want it to evolve into three heads."
Lu Ran: "Isn't your dog beast said to have the blood of the legendary creature 'Swallow the Moon'? Why are you evolving into a three-headed dog again?"
Shi Ze laughed: "How could it have the Swallowing Moon bloodline? Most likely, the ancestors were just flattering their pets. The offspring of other legendary creatures are all quasi-legendary species. Even if the bloodline is very rare, the Overlord should have it too."
"Our dogs and beasts are all bred from extraordinary races. If they are descendants of legends, they are in a very miserable state."
"As for the three-headed dog, it's so cool. Aren't we beast masters supposed to train our pets to be more special and powerful than others?"
“That being said…” Lu Ran’s mouth twitched slightly. Other people evolve with abilities and purposes. For example, dogs evolve into werewolves in order to better use weapons. But you, on the other hand, want to evolve into three heads, just to be special for the sake of being special.
I hadn’t noticed it before, but now it seems that he is another stupid son of a landlord.
"I won't say any more, Brother Lu. I've found the book you wanted. It's already late today, you should get some rest first!"
After a while, Shi Ze also said goodbye to Lu Ran, and Lu Ran lay on the bed, yawning, and started reading a book.
To be precise, it is a plant atlas.
Now that he has arrived at the Divine Tree Continent, he must have to make up for all the knowledge he has learned.
Although I have learned some of them before, they are too limited.
The things you need to know at different times and places are not interchangeable.
"The abilities of these vicious plants are much more complex than those of animals."
Lu Ran flipped through it curiously.
For example, he saw a dangerous plant called "parasitic mushroom".
Whenever a living being comes into contact with it, mushrooms will continue to grow on its body, and then these mushrooms will absorb the life force of the living being and grow.
He also saw a ferocious plant called "bone-melting grass".
It is a powerful weapon against bones. If accidentally ingested, the bones of living organisms will melt quickly. Even creatures with the hardest bones will find it difficult to resist its power.
If these strange and ferocious plants evolve into life, their abilities would be impossible to guard against. It is no wonder that animals have fallen to the point of becoming food.
"Wait a minute!" Lu Ran suddenly stopped turning the pages.
"The abilities of these evil plants are so bizarre that they are almost like a curse."
"Is it possible to extract their core abilities and truly turn them into a curse???"
As Lu Ran was flipping through the book, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Since Dark Crow can analyze soul bones and awaken the pig-turning curse.
So, is it possible for it to analyze these evil plants and transform these strange abilities into its own curse?
Now, compared to Mr. Ha's ultimate output and King of Death's ultimate defense, although Dark Crow also has ultimate reconnaissance, its means of attack are still a bit limited, to be honest.
If it has all kinds of strange curses, even if it is not as strong as the opponent, it may be able to torture the opponent to the point of excruciating pain by relying on the weirdness of its abilities.
"This secret realm is really great." Lu Ran pondered, "I'll find some special dangerous plants for Dark Crow to study later."
"I feel like the Absolute Enlightenment trait is also quite suitable for Dark Crow..."
