The source of the grass-like tree.

To be precise, the tree source of a divine-level grass-type extraordinary creature is itself a priceless treasure, a 'great medicine' that is only found once every thousand years.

Guang Guang explained this point before the war even began.

Therefore, when Mingxi and the others attacked with all their might, although their target was clearly and explicitly Shuyuan, they deliberately avoided him.

This is not contradictory.

You've heard of masters of human body outline drawing, right?

They are masters of tree outline drawing.

Therefore, the tree source was perfectly preserved.

"Gurgle..."

A tree, bigger than Mingxi's head, rolled to her feet.

However, Mingxi did not focus all her attention on the so-called 'great medicine', but instead... looked at the bright and full water droplet not far away.

It should be called a condensed droplet, since no normal water droplet can condense and remain intact, maintaining a perfect and huge ellipsoidal shape.

"It is the Jade of Yogdrasil."

Guangguang was released from the Realm of Time and stood beside Mingxi. Following her gaze, he saw the drop of liquid.

Mingxi blinked, looking like she was questioning the meaning of life.

"Jia wood?"

Across time and dimensions, if her memory is correct, the so-called Jia wood is the first of the ten heavenly stems, which governs the four seasons, gives birth to all things, and is also known as yang wood.

But what does this thing have to do with the condensate of Yogdrasil?

So, are they the same name but different in nature?

The electronic eyes flashed, "Its value is hard to assess. In this world, Jia wood is possessed by 99% of tree species...blah blah blah... and so on..."

These are probably the basic components that allow them to maintain their life activities.

It's like blood to you humans.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

clear.

It's explained so clearly, if Mingxi still doesn't understand, then her brain must be made of tofu.

"So... what's the use of this Jia wood?"

For Mingxi, theory fills in the gaps in her knowledge, but as a materialistic woman, she cares more about value.

"This is Jiamu crystal, so it is of course useful, but it is only useful to Jinyue Shura. If it can be digested smoothly, apart from other aspects, it can at least obtain one of the characteristics or skills of Yogdrashir."

"But if used at the peak of one's energy, it might just lead to a breakthrough!"

Mingxi's eyes lit up even brighter.

Is this Jia wood really such a useful and good thing?

Doesn't she think God is sick?

God has been so good to her, she's God herself!

Mingxi was still immersed in happiness when Guangguang suddenly poured cold water on her.

"but--"

What a fine "however".

Mingxi was instantly frozen in time, becoming like Mona Lisa.

"The process of absorbing Jia Wood is extremely dangerous because the properties of Jia Wood are different for each grass-type extraordinary creature, just like different blood types and different DNA in humans."

To absorb Jia wood for one's own use, one must first adapt to, accept, and conform to these differences, and even forcibly reverse the nature of one's own Jia wood.

How should I put it? It's similar to transplanting hematopoietic stem cells.

Mingxi understood again.

Even with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the success rate for leukemia patients is only 60% at most, taking into account various factors.

If the match is not high enough, the possibility of rejection is also very high.

The success rate of absorbing Jia wood is estimated to be similar.

"The success rate is probably less than 5%, and if it fails, the most likely outcome is that the energy core will be completely destroyed."

Guangguang's answers always challenged her acceptance level.

Mingxi's face darkened.

"With such a low success rate, no wonder you're not excited at all."

Guangguang spread his chest and paws, his meaning clear without saying a word.

"Jin".

I want to try it.

Mingxi and Guangguang's conversation was not kept secret from anyone, so Florence naturally heard it as well.

"I'll try, but I have two conditions."

Mingxi was not surprised that Florence would say that.

None of her pets are timid or cowardly; they have an indomitable spirit.

Moreover, if this Jiamu Condensed Pearl can truly help Florence break through to the Venerable level and evolve into the God level, then even if the success rate is only 0.5%, let alone 5%, it will definitely want to try.

So this is something that can't be stopped.

"Jin?" What are the conditions?

Florence is unusually cute with her head tilted.

"First, before using it, the flower you perceive must be yellow."

The accuracy of Florence's belief perception is not 100%.

But it still has an accuracy rate.

Especially when its head is adorned with yellow flowers, it almost always encounters good things.

"Secondly, it must be approved by Yaoxuan after its prediction."

As her pet beast, Yaoxuan could not see his own fate, nor could he see hers, but he could still predict the short-term fate of Jin Yuanbao and the others.

However, Yaoxuan also said that there would definitely be some deviations.

Since the eight gold ingots actually represent the dawn, the probability of inaccurate predictions is actually quite high.

This is why Mingxi added two conditions.

"..."

Florence hesitated.

It is well aware that satisfying both conditions at the same time is extremely difficult.

It's extremely difficult for it to even sprout a yellow flower on its head.

Looking back, this lifetime is but a handful of years.

Then Yaoxuan needs to agree...

"Jin?"

Should we reconsider?

Mingxi glared at her irritably, "No, no bargaining. You agree if you agree."

Florence looked helplessly at the cold-faced little human.

She can be quite easy to talk to at times.

But sometimes he's more stubborn than a donkey!

No one (her pet) could make her compromise on matters of principle.

Therefore, she will absolutely not change her mind about this.

"Jin".

It had no choice but to agree.

Mingxi had Guangguang put away the Jiamu crystal, along with the tree source.

Tree source is indeed a legitimate medicinal herb.

All of them can use it. Mingxi plans to collect some other materials and then have Florence make it into a potion. Whether it is an energy replenishment potion or a potion with other effects, it can make everyone's strength reach a new level.

In short, even without that warehouse full of harvest.

With this tree as a source, this trip is well worth the money.

...

When Mingxi returned to Shijin, she received a warm welcome from everyone.

After all, she brought back not only herself, but also a large amount of supplies.

It's rare to see such a generous boss. If they don't give them a warm welcome, they'll be called ungrateful by outsiders.

...

A faint smell of blood permeated the medical room of the Shijin.

Mingxi stood in front of the operating table, looking at the body that had been cut open and was no longer alive.

—This man is the Bloodsail Legion leader that Black Pearl brought back.

Like the old man in black robes, he was a beast tamer with the mark of rules.

After praising the clever and witty Black Pearl, Mingxi brought her here.

She has absolutely no sympathy for bad guys.

After severe torture, they disemboweled him.

This was her first time operating.

I'm still a bit rusty.

But that doesn’t stop her from proving her own ideas.

At this moment, a faint light and shadow still floated above this body.

These are the rules that detach themselves after the body is destroyed.

However, unlike Mingxi Huiling's, this text is an eerie blood red.

An ominous luster flowed across its surface, and every stroke seemed like a curse written with congealed blood.

"This is no longer a simple set of rules and text."

Out of curiosity, Yaoxuan stayed close to Mingxi, tilting his head to the side like a triangle ruler, presenting an extremely distorted angle of observation.

"It does resemble some fragments of corrupted rules."

really.

Mingxi stretched out her finger, and when her fingertip was still ten centimeters away from the words, fine burn marks began to appear on her skin.

Unlike high temperatures.

It doesn't resemble corrosion either.

It's somewhat similar to Xiao Yinhua's dragon breath, a spatial erosion.

"Although the Advent Organization is a mess, they do have some tricks up their sleeves when it comes to causing trouble."

Mingxi withdrew her hand. The wound wasn't serious; she could just ask Xiaoyinhua for treatment later.

Yaoxuan, however, did not find it strange. "Once you lose your bottom line in life and work, you can create countless miracles."

It's heartbreaking, but the world really is this bizarre.

At this moment, the blood-red characters lost their 'container' and slowly dissipated.

"Unfortunately, there's not enough material."

However, based on the information revealed by this person and her research on this body, it can be confirmed that her previous speculation was not too wrong.

The rule imprint that allows humans to unleash their full potential is created by extracting the rules contained within rule-based items and then forcibly imprinting them using a special method.

As for the specific method, Mingxi wasn't a proper scientist, and she certainly couldn't deduce it from the old man in black robes and this body alone.

Don't even mention her; our super smart butler, Guangguang, is no good either.

Mingxi never intended to find out.

However, she did gain something from this. Through analyzing the imprint of the rules, she was able to apply what she learned to other situations and gained more insights into the process of imprinting spirits onto beast tamers.

For the experiment, she brought over Ghostly Mansion and Verina.

"...A spirit painter?"

Both of them were hearing about the new secondary profession of Spirit Painter for the first time.

For a moment, I was shocked and couldn't understand it.

Mingxi briefly explained the principles of the spirit painting to them. Although the two of them were still a little confused, they at least understood one thing.

"So you created this new secondary profession? And by working with the prop master, you can make props directly become rule-based props?!"

Both faces showed shock.

Mingxi nodded and then shook her head: "It can't be guaranteed to become a rule item, but if the spirit painting is successful, it can improve the quality of the item by 100%."

Additionally, imbuing pets with spirits can also have some effect.

I'm still in the exploratory stage.

The reason I called you all here is to try and see if we can bring the spirit painting to life on the beast tamer.

Verina and Ghost Constellation looked at each other in bewilderment.

They had a deep understanding of Mingxi's genius.

But little did they know that their understanding of her was only the tip of the iceberg; she had actually created a side profession!

And it's a side job that sounds incredibly awesome!

And she is not even 18 years old yet!

It's true, they've divorced Trump!

Mingxi didn't seem to care much about their shock, only that they looked familiar.

She looked at the two of them and said, "Although your Beastmaster level is average and your physical fitness level can only barely meet my minimum requirements, it's because of this person."

She pointed to a 'good person' who had died on the operating table.

“I’ve come up with some new ideas, so I’d like to try them out on you guys.”

Verina and Old Ghost's levels weren't very high, at least not as high as her previous experimental subjects.

Both of them have an S-level physical fitness rating.

In the past, there would have been no way to do that.

Mingxi explained beforehand: "The process may be a little painful, but rest assured, it will only be painful, not fatal. However, you can refuse."

Of course, there are more suitable candidates than the two of them on board the Shijin.

But in Mingxi's heart, on this huge starship, only the two of them were her people; the others could only be considered partners at most.

Because regardless of whether the spirit-drawing is successful or not, it will benefit the 'experimental subject'. The most basic benefit is that it can subtly and silently improve the physical fitness level.

This has already been proven.

It's actually quite reasonable.

After all, Mingxi used Guidao Zhenye to draw spirits on these experimental subjects, but what materials is Guidao Zhenye made of?

If she uses it on humans like this, it would be a waste of all those precious star coins she spent if it didn't have some effect.

In other words, there's no reason for Mingxi to let outsiders benefit from such a good thing.

"Okay, I'll go first."

Ghost Constellation was not going to shirk his duty; he had no reason to refuse.

It's just a little pain. Hasn't he suffered enough over the years?

A man who's afraid of pain isn't a real man!

Verina naturally wouldn't compete with him; letting Old Ghost go first would allow her to watch.

Good.

Since Gui Su was willing, Ming Xi had him take off his outer clothes and lie face down on another operating table.

The large back area, and the fact that he could stabilize his body even if he was in pain and convulsing during the process, made her spirit drawing process smoother.

Ghost Constellation was ready very quickly.

Without any preamble, Mingxi took out the Guidao True Liquid, released her spiritual power, and got right to work.

Unlike before, she first used her mental power to isolate the skin tissue and fat layer on the back of the spirit to be painted, ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) without harming the body of the spirit.

Because it was the first time doing this, it didn't go smoothly at first.

Fortunately, Mingxi Genius is real.

They quickly mastered the trick and separated roughly the skin tissue.

Ghost Constellation immediately noticed the abnormality in his back.

He could no longer feel a large area of ​​skin on his back.

It's as if he never carried a back at all.

???

What's going on?!

"Don't be nervous, relax, it's not time to be nervous yet."

Mingxi's spiritual power controls Gui Su's back, so she immediately senses when he gets nervous and promptly reminds him.

Guisu: "..."

He lost his back, shouldn't this be a tense moment?

When can I feel nervous?

He started to panic.

Mingxi ultimately ignored Guisu's unnecessary tension and continued her work, focusing on applying the true liquid while continuously outputting her mental energy.

The rule text she chose for Ghost Mansion is 【复】.

It implies repetition, regeneration, and a new mission.

Although this rule script is not one of the three core scripts, it is the most difficult rule script to draw among all the rule scripts, excluding the core scripts.

To date, Mingxi has only succeeded twice.

Moreover, all of these successes were achieved on damaged prototypes, clearly indicating that it is only suitable for objects with a 'broken' feel.

And Ghost Constellation happens to be someone with a sense of brokenness, so there's no reason for her not to give it a try.

Who wouldn't want to create miracles?

Isn't that right?
