Chapter 345: A Tree That Bears Equipment.
Understanding that he was still unsafe, unaware if that beast could track him through an unknown method, Leo, after consuming a healing potion, immediately set out toward the direction of the building.
On his way, the vegetation around him noticeably began to increase, with the occasional appearance of grade 3 spiritual herbs that he casually plucked.
Although he was hurried to glean the overall situation of this independent world, his original intention couldn't be forgotten... Hence, if he saw spiritual herbs or fruits on his way, Leo would immediately pluck them, increasing his supply and causing the vegetation behind him to flutter lifelessly.
"A grade 4 spiritual plant? Let's take their roots and plant them near the bland cemetery."
Soon, after walking for a quarter of an hour, Leo finally discerns a couple of grade 4 spiritual plants tens of meters away from him, causing his somewhat heavy expression to be replaced with a smile.
Concealing the bubbling excitement within his illusionary heart, Leo, without further ado, advanced with a swift speed, still retaining his invisibility skill as he carefully removed the spiritual plants away from the ground.
Shaking the dirt off of their roots before hiding them inside his inventory.
Ding!
[ Congratulations upon finding a grade-4 spiritual plant Wild Earth Berries and Winter Spear sapling. ]
"Great! A wild earth berry capable of increasing affinity to earth. However, this winter spear sapling seems unique."
Looking at the metallic sapling inside his inventory and gazing at its erect being that was seemingly challenging the high sky while being shrouded by an unusual aura, Leo couldn't curb down his curiosity as he soon used his soul scan skill, wanting to see its information.
Ding!
[ Winter Spear Tree (Grade 4 High): Originally a grade-3 Thousand Spear Tree; however, due to the mutation and being infused by rich spiritual qi and rules for countless years, it mutated into a Grade 4 spiritual plant.
Effect 1: Practicing a spear skill near the tree could benefit a cultivator, allowing insight to flood his/her mind, with a small possibility of increasing the level of spear skill and its grade.
Effect 2: Upon maturation, the tree would create a fruit that was akin to a spear... The spear usually had grades ranging from uncommon to epic grade.
Effect 3: The spear it bears has usual effects, commonly being infused with rules that make its grade above its peers.
Note: To grow this plant, one needed to infuse rules of nature into its being, allowing it to contain countless rules. ]

"An item that grows equipment instead of consumable fruit? This is... quite new."
Leo thought with an incredulous expression pasted on his face.
It could be said that, although his skill wasn't related to planting, Leo had already seen quite a number of strange herbs under the forbidden pit... But, after so long, he was at least confident to say that this sapling was the strangest thing he had encountered.
Even in his system shop, Leo hasn't seen any of spiritual plants with the same categories!
"Maybe the shop had them, but they might be rare to the point that they rarely popped up."
Shaking his head, removing the distracted thoughts inside his mind, Leo was about to continue moving forward, toward the silhouettes of the buildings in the far distance, when suddenly, out of nowhere, the bushes not far away from him suddenly issued a movement.
Following the movement, Leo saw the head of a young girl, probably at the age of 15, suddenly poke out from the bushes. Her eyes, visibly tainted with a hint of purple, could be seen intently gazing at the location where Leo had just plucked the herbs, shaking her head before wiping her eyes in disbelief.
"This, where did the herb go? Did I again get affected by the illusion of this world?
"No, that's not right; my rules hadn't detected any unknown rules entering my mind."
Mumbling weakly under her breath, the girl again shook her head, emerging from the bushes before approaching the location where the herbs were previously planted.
...
"A mid-stage of the core formation realm? Moreover, she seems to already comprehend a rule beyond 50%."
Feeling the unusual aura shrouding the girl, seemingly fusing toward the earth and unable to be discerned with divine senses, Leo immediately scanned her with his soul scan skill.
Ding!

"What the... Not only did she have a unique class job and bloodline, but she also carried a title!"
Seeing the information of the young girl in the distance, Leo's composure couldn't help but crumble; his expression deepened as his eyes couldn't help but glint in surprise.
Although he doesn't spend much time conversing with others, he knows that in order to gain a title, one needs to be at least within the Nascent Soul realm.
Heck, some of the Nascent Soul beings don't even gain one upon advancement; instead, they still need to further deepen their understanding of self, world, earth, and heaven in order to be bestowed with the title.
As for Mad Saber, whom he had encountered, also carrying a title with an unknown grade, Leo never considered him as a Core Formation realm cultivator.
"This sure feels uncomfortable... Seeing others gain something that you didn't have highlighted one's thoughts of incapabilities.
"However, should I greet her or not? Building a connection with her caliber might be better than building none. Sigh, unfortunately, I just took the plants she was eyeing."
