Chapter 577: Chapter 388: Life Divine Tree Sapling

“What’s the situation now?”

In the laboratory of the Immortal Energy Medical Company, Yang Genshuo, dressed in a sterilized suit, looked at a bunch of petri dishes and asked curiously.

“Brother Genshuo, there’s good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?”

“The good news.”

“The good news is that we’ve cultivated 10 petri dishes using micropropagation techniques to grow 10 seedlings, and so far, none have died. They’re still growing.”

“Not bad. What’s the bad news?”

“But the cell division rate of these samples is very slow… We don’t know when they’ll form complete healing tissue. Without the healing tissue, we can’t proceed with the next step.”

Yang Genshuo pondered for a moment…

“Healing tissue… what is that?”

Cheng Bo: “Handsome Genshuo! Didn’t you pay attention in any of your professional courses?”

“Healing tissue is a mass of undifferentiated cells with strong division capabilities. Once obtained, we can induce the healing tissue to differentiate into roots, buds, and other organs, and eventually form a complete seedling that can be planted.”

“Oh… I see. So, where is the problem? Why is the cell division so slow?”

Yang Genshuo was puzzled.

“Perhaps the growth environment we’ve regulated for it isn’t suitable for its cultivation, or there’s a small possibility that… this thing naturally divides slowly, which is why your previous cuttings and graftings all failed.”

Yang Genshuo looked around the laboratory environment.

It was filled with various spirit plants and a large amount of spiritual earth, all dug from beneath the Life Divine Tree in the Dragon God Immortal Palace, with a high concentration of spiritual energy. Growing plants with this stuff should certainly be no problem.

The current spiritual energy concentration in the entire laboratory was also pretty good.

The petri dishes were even richer in spiritual energy.

Clearly, Cheng Bo and his researchers also understood the importance of ‘radiation’ for the growth of spirit plants.

The overall direction was correct.

“Is there some other hidden condition for the growth of the Life Divine Tree?”

After thinking for a moment, Yang Genshuo remembered he had asked Yang Qiang, but even the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had no records of it.

No one had ever tried to cultivate these naturally conceived divine trees artificially…

“Right, let me try my new ability…”

Yang Genshuo had advanced to the Qi Refinement Realm and refined a strand of heavenly-level innate wood spiritual energy from the Life Divine Tree, gaining a talent.

[Hand of Vitality (Heavenly Level): Enhances perception, allows one to sense the life force of various plants, perceive their needs, and upon touching with the palm, significantly accelerates plant growth and catalyzes plant maturation.]

Cheng Bo watched as Yang Genshuo extended his hand into one of the petri dishes, emitting a faint green glow. The tiny sprout seemed as if it had hit the accelerator, growing rapidly!

A ‘meatball’ slowly swelled at the site of the sprout’s wound, healing the injury like an ugly scar…

“Stop! That’s it!”

Cheng Bo shouted excitedly.

“How did you do that? It grew out so quickly… Based on our previous observations, at this rate of division, it would take at least half a year for it to possibly grow.”

Yang Genshuo smiled: “Is this meatball the healing tissue?”

“Exactly! That’s it… it’s equivalent to the stem cells in our bodies, possessing the potential to differentiate into any type of tissue. Theoretically, we can induce it to differentiate into a complete seedling!”

“Excellent!”

At that moment, a hint of enlightenment also dawned in Yang Genshuo’s heart.

The ability he had obtained from the innate wood spiritual energy nurtured by the Life Divine Tree had a subtle synergistic effect on the tree itself… He could clearly feel the sprout rapidly developing under his guidance and eventually forming the healing tissue.

The brief period just now had equated to a year of plant growth.

Yang Genshuo used his ability to induce the formation of healing tissue in the other nine petri dishes, and his spiritual power was now completely depleted.

“My ability can mature plants for up to 10 years a day at most, after that, I need to replenish my own spiritual power.”

The talent was also quite draining for him.

“Huh? My culture dish… how come it’s all dried up.”

Cheng Bo scratched his head as he looked at the culture dish he had prepared.

“Just add some more, it has just been used up.”

When he used this ability, the Spirit Plant not only absorbed Spiritual Power from him but also rapidly consumed the nutrients in the growing environment.

“Alright, alright, alright, no wonder it’s growing so fast… Genshuo, your ‘Divine Right Hand’ is remarkable. With this… we’ll have an easier time ahead, I’m confident we’ll make it!”

“I’ll be waiting for your news.”

Yang Genshuo left the laboratory, looking at his hand that seemed as youthful as an 18-year-old’s.

“Divine Right Hand? Not a bad name…”

Cheng Bo’s experiment continued, while Yang Genshuo, holding two Low Grade Spirit Stones, absorbed their energy as he rode back to the manor.

‘This “Hand of Vitality” Talent is a great ability for cultivators of the Spirit Plant series; if any member of the Yang Family develops in this direction, they must absorb this Innate Spiritual Energy.’

‘Furthermore, the “Life Fire” also interacts with the “Hand of Vitality,” forcibly enhancing the medicinal properties of Spirit Plants. One accelerates maturity, the other increases the age; together, they can quickly turn a Spirit Plant into high-grade material ready for use.’

‘The abilities granted by my other three types of Spiritual Energy are also exceptional—worthy of the heavenly Qi Cultivation, indeed impressive.’

However, the other three abilities didn’t harmonize as well.

Especially the ability gained from absorbing uranium rods… is simply terrifying, capable of causing extreme damage. It’s not suitable for use in modern times as it can easily harm plants and flowers.

‘For now, I will stick to using some non-violent, developmental Skills.’

Yang Genshuo had left the game on acceleration the entire time he was out.

By now, three months had passed since the ancestral ceremony.

The Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect’s reinforcements, eagerly awaited by the Danai Dynasty, still hadn’t arrived…

“They should have descended by now, what’s going on?”

Yang Genshuo furrowed his brows, sensing an ominous premonition.

His gaze swept over the other members of the Yang Family before finally fixing on Yang Fushuo.

“Fushuo, your brother is still in seclusion. Go back to the Sect and ask Elder Brother Wu Yi to take you to Pavilion Master Long Hong. Inquire about this matter…”

“Got it, ancestor!”

Yang Fushuo sprang up from his old boss chair in Strange Pill Tower and returned to the Sect on his Flying Spirit Beast.

Last time at the Dragon God Immortal Palace, Yang Fushuo, together with Wu Yi and the Rashah Tiger, fought fiercely and earned a great deal of treasures. It was also a good opportunity to build goodwill, which was just perfect for going to the Earth Spirit Pavilion on behalf of Yang Fu.

Back within the Sect, Yang Genshuo found that the most useful units of measure had all advanced to the Golden Core Stage.

Perhaps due to the significant gains from the Earth Spirit Pavilion during the last visit to the Dragon God Immortal Palace, in the past 20 years, all disciples at the Foundation Establishment Stage had ascended to the Golden Core Stage. Their power was incredibly strong, and they were now nearly in a position to wrestle with the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion.

“Elder Brother Wu Yi, I need help!”

“Let’s go! Who are we killing?”

Wu Yi grabbed his big saber, ready to set off.

“No, it’s not about killing anyone; I have other urgent matters that need assistance.”

“Oh… and here I thought, with your modest Realm and lack of skill in combat, you’ve encountered a formidable enemy you couldn’t handle.”

“…Elder Brother Wu Yi, you could’ve left out those middle two sentences.”

“I don’t like to lie, iron iron.”

Yang Fushuo was momentarily choked up before he remembered Elder Brother Wu Yi’s style…

Indeed, it was best not to talk too much with him, or he might break your defenses.

The hardest part for him back at the Dragon God Immortal Palace was dealing with Elder Brother Wu Yi’s and the haughty Fire Dragon’s sharp tongues…

“Yo, isn’t this Young Brother Yang? Not out making a fortune and remembering us poor brothers? It’s rare to see you, so bring some good food!”

The chubby Immortal Chef came walking over, laughing as he tugged at Yang Fushuo.

“Some other time, some other time. I’ve got urgent business today, please help me get an audience with Pavilion Master Long.”
