Start as a Spiritual Planter: I Have a Game Panel

Chapter 145: Blood Sucking Predatory Vine

Ram walked past Sid and Liam, leaving them to their discussions, their stunned and happy expressions still lingering as he strode confidently toward Mai.

Before leaving he also learned that most of the Bio-Mechanical Soldiers already left the void space including Selina.

However, according to the scouting report from the arcane kitties, there were still many professionals that entered the void space still stayed back, waiting for the Bio-Mechanical Soldiers to completely leave before they could.

Everyone has the same idea; they don't want to get on the bad side of the Shadow Society or Selina.

As he approached her, he found her already deep in concentration, working out on a stack of incomplete blueprints, a few crumpled and discarded in one corner, clear evidence of her frustration.

Her brow furrowed in thought as she continued to ponder, so engrossed that she didn't even notice his presence.

"Well, I seemed to have come at the wrong time," without disturbing her, he walked past, glancing at some of the designs spread out before her.

From a quick look, he knew she was working on modifications for both the Strider Unit and the Viper Serpent.

But what really caught his attention was the fact that she was trying to integrate Spell Runes, likely aiming to convert them into more advanced arcane robots—similar to her Arcane Robo Cat.

"She's trying to combine technology and magic," Ram thought, impressed, it was not uncommon, nowadays there were many mechanics who tried this route to improve their creations compared to the pure Mechanical route.

However, the pile of wasted blueprints told him it wasn't an easy task.

The mechanical systems were designed for precision and efficiency, following rigid rules of engineering, while spells and spiritual runes were fluid, driven by spiritual power or arcane energy, and often unpredictable and could create many miraculous effects.

It's been more than four hundred years since the reiki revival, with the help of knowledge gained from cultivation civilizations and wizard civilizations.

Blue Star human's progress in combining mechanics with spiritual power developed very fast, from making ordinary enhancements to making high-level spiritual weapons.

However, it's one thing to combine both knowledge, but creating them was also not easy, it requires strong learning ability, precise control over their own spiritual power, and many other factors.

Without saying a word, Ram took out her share of Vitality Mushrooms and Spirit Mushrooms and placed them beside her with a small note.

Satisfied, he quietly left the room, leaving Mai to her work and heading off to find Su Mu, wondering what she was doing.

Soon, Ram found Su Mu outside, training with a simple wooden sword. Her movements were fluid, each swing precise and deliberate, without any errors.

Sweat glistened on her skin, making her clothes slightly cling, outlining her perfect figure. He stood back for a moment, watching her. looking at her he swallowed hard.

Noticing him approaching, she paused mid-swing, breathing heavily and wiped the sweat from her brow.

"Ram," she greeted with a nod, catching her breath. She wiped her brow, looking relaxed but still focused. "You're out, huh?"

"You, did you upgrade to Tier 3 so soon?" Noticing his breath she immediately questioned him.

However, she closed her mouth soon, remembering how he upgraded her to Tier 3, it won't be hard to improve himself.

"Yeah," Ram nodded his head with a smile as he approached her, then he motioned for her to sit down on the nearby stones, to take a break and have a long talk.

Not just her he also enquired many details about Lords and Lords space from the evil spirit who could now conveniently switch her mind with Su Mu to answer him.

After clarifying many of his doubts, Ram stood up, brushing off his pants, and handed her a small pouch containing some Vitality Mushrooms and Spirit Mushrooms. "Here, these should help boost your attributes."

"Thanks," Su Mu accepted the pouch with a thanks, and a faint smile tugging at her lips.

With that, Ram turned to leave, but as he walked away, he called out to Korrin through their mental link, "Korrin! Gather the others—the Half-Drow cavemen."

It didn't take long before Korrin arrived, leading a group of Half-Drow cavemen. "Master," Korrin greeted with a slight bow of his head. "You called for us?"

Ram crossed his arms, studying the group for a moment before speaking. "Yeah. I wanted to check in on what happened inside the trial space and discuss other things with you."

Korrin straightened up, his eyes glowing faintly, he immediately explained everything that happened since they entered inside the Lord's space to the end of the trial.

"The trial was not easy," Korrin began, his voice even, but his eyes flickered with the memory of battle.

"I don't know how many waves there were, but we went up against five waves of those cursed creatures. Each wave was more difficult than the last. By the third wave, there were already large numbers of Elite and Rare quality murlocs."

He recounted how they fought against the relentless waves of Mutant Murlocs. Ram listened attentively, not missing any detail; his arms still crossed as Korrin continued.

"There was a Tier 4 Elite Murloc that appeared at the end of the fifth wave..." Korrin's fists clenched slightly as he remembered the fierce battle, then spoke about other things like the trial requirements, and rewards.

Korrin paused for a moment, and then continued, "During the trial, I found a special evolution route that allowed several of our cavemen to evolve—gaining new abilities."

"At the end of the battle, I also found some clues on how to evolve more cavemen into the special evolutionary forms."

Ram's eyes moved from the vine to Korrin, nodding with approval. "You did well by not pushing for the sixth wave. The risk wasn't worth it."

Korrin nodded in agreement, his shoulders relaxing slightly after hearing Ram's praise.

"Good," Ram said, giving him a firm look of approval. "You've done a great job handling things in there, as for the missing rewards don't bother about it."

Then Ram's expression shifted as he asked, "What about the void space? Can you leave with us now? You should already feel it by now, it won't last long before completely destroyed."

Korrin's face darkened, upon hearing this. "No, Master. Unfortunately, we're still bound and can't leave the void space just yet."

Ram sighed deeply. "I was hoping it'd be different this time." He shook his head slightly. "But don't worry, Korrin. I'll find another way before that space collapses. I'm not leaving you all behind."

Korrin bowed his head gratefully. "Thank you, Master. I have faith you'll find a way."

Then he gestured to the Half-Drow cavemen behind him, who then dragged forward the broken predatory vine he brought out at the end of the trail, now dull and lifeless.

After discussing a few more key points, Ram shifted his focus to the broken predatory vine.

As he concentrated his thoughts on its broken body, a holographic attribute panel appeared, displaying the details.

[ Name: Blood Sucking Predatory Vine]

[ Race: Spiritual Plant]

[ Level: Tier 3]

[ Status: Dead]

Ram studied the panel for a moment, although there weren't many details. He already knew how fierce this spiritual plant on the battlefield was.

"You did a good job bringing it back, even though it's dead, this vine still holds power. We might be able to use it to extract some seeds and grow more of them."

He came forward and concentrated his spiritual power, focusing on the broken predatory vine in front of him.

His hands hovered over it, and a soft, greenish glow began to radiate from his palms.

The Seed Collection skill had reached Level 5 after fusing with the Sylvan Soul Seed, granting Ram much finer control over plant-based abilities.

The vine, though dead, with his heightened plant affinity, Ram could sense that it still held a trace of lingering life deep within its structure.

Even after feeling the traces of life force, he didn't use his life energy to grow it back, he simply collected its seed, mainly because he liked growing spiritual plants from seeds, which allowed him to transform them into wood spirits easily.

He focused harder, channeling more of his spiritual power into the vine as he activated Seed Collection, pulling at the remaining life force within.

Suddenly, a small, dark seed emerged from the center of the dead vine, pulsating with a faint red aura, as if still holding onto a fragment of its former blood-draining power.

[ Name: Blood Siphon Seed]

[ Potential: Tier 3]

[ Description: A seed from the Blood Sucking Predatory Vine, capable of growing into a spiritual plant with the ability to drain the life force from devouring corpses and absorbing large amounts of flesh and blood. Can be nurtured to evolve further.]

Ram stared at the seed for a moment, as he looked through its details.

"This will come in handy on large-scale battles to clean up the corpses," he muttered as he stored it inside his inventory, a small smile tugging at his lips.
