Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats

'Ding,

[Heaven's Harvest]

[Spirit Seed: Lunar Orchid]

[Grade: Special Rank 5]

[Effect: For Cultivators: Consuming a matured Lunar Orchid grants the host the ability to absorb moonlight, refining it into pure lunar energy, which heals injuries.]

[Note: Depending on the quality of the Lunar Orchid, the absorption rate and the healing rate will vary.]

[Effect: For Spirit Beasts: The Spirit Beasts that have affinity with the Moon will not only evolve but also break through in their rank.]

[Note: It is very effective on Peak Rank 4 Spirit Beasts. It is dangerous for lower-ranked Spirit Beasts and less effective for stronger Spirit Beasts.]

[Information: The Lunar Orchid thrives under night skies and must be nurtured using lunar essence.]

'The effect for cultivators is quite good; however, I am more interested in its effect on the Spirit Beasts.'

With Ethan's ability to revive and buy skills from Spirit Beasts, he was not much interested in the ability to absorb moonlight and heal his injuries.

However, its effect on Spirit Beasts made Ethan's eyes light up as he thought, 'I can use it on my Second Spirit Pet, the Golden-eyed Silver Wolf Pup.'

'For my second pet, Fang, to reach Peak Rank 4, it will take a long time, and it is the same for the Lunar Orchid, which is a Special Rank 5 Spirit Plant.'

Ethan, however, was not worried in the slightest.

After analyzing the two Spirit Seeds, Ethan carefully stored away the Lunar Orchid Seed, whereas he decided to plant the Ghostbone Thistle right away.

That's right!

Since it could be planted in his body right away, Ethan decided to nurture it in his body so as not to waste any time.

'Gulp'

Maybe it was because of the effects of the Ghostbone Thistle, but Ethan didn't hesitate to swallow the bone seed.

As soon as the bone seed entered his mouth, Ethan felt a chilling sensation spread through his throat and down into his stomach.

Unlike regular spirit pills or elixirs that dissolved instantly, the Ghostbone Thistle seed seemed to embed itself deep within him.

'It's starting…'

A strange, bone-deep numbness spread through his body, followed by a sharp, twisting sensation within his bones.

It wasn't painful, but he could feel something stirring within his skeletal structure—like unseen roots extending through his very marrow.

'It's like it has merged with my skeletal structure, and even if I don't give any additional supplements, it will slowly get its nutrients from my bones.'

Among all the Spirit Plants he had nurtured so far, Ethan felt the Ghostbone Thistle was the easiest one to nurture despite being a Special Rank 5 Spirit Plant.

It didn't require spirit rain or any other nurturing techniques or resources for its growth because the cultivator's body was filled with enough nutrients to sustain its growth.

Although the cultivator's bones supplied the nutrients for the Ghostbone Thistle's growth, these nutrients could be naturally replenished through the spirit essence entering the cultivator's body.

Of course, since it was a Special Rank 5 Spirit Plant, the cultivator had to be at least a high-level Foundation Establishment Realm to be able to replenish the nutrients his skeletal structure had lost due to the Ghostbone Thistle's consumption.

'With my cultivation, I can easily manage it.'

Ethan was not worried about the Ghostbone Thistle because, even without his current cultivation, his body naturally absorbed more Spirit Essence than other cultivators due to the Heavenly Spirit Essence Refining Technique.

'Let's see its maturity and status.'

Ethan was curious about the maturity period of the Ghostbone Thistle and hurriedly checked it.

'Ding,

[Heaven's Harvest]

[Spirit Seed: Ghostbone Thistle]

[Grade: Special Rank 5]

[Maturity Period: 10,000 days]

[Status: Happy: Finally, I can absorb the nutrients. Huh? What is this? Why are these bones so weak? I should make them stronger…stronger and stronger.]

'As I expected, it requires 10,000 days to mature.'

It was not Ethan's first time nurturing a Special Rank 5 Spirit Plant. Back in the Small Courtyard, he had a Dragonheart Lotus Plant, which was also a Special Rank 5 Spirit Plant that had a maturity period of 10,000 days.

So, he was not surprised by it.

However, its [Live Status] surprised Ethan a bit as he wondered, 'My bones are weak? Really?'

Nevertheless, Ethan guessed that it was a 'common line' for the Ghostbone Thistle, whose duty was to strengthen the cultivator's bones until it matured.

After it matured, it would turn into an invisible exoskeleton for the cultivator, which Ethan was looking forward to.

'I am curious about how the [Heaven's Harvest] will reward me. Will it give me a double exoskeleton when it matures?'

Ethan only thought about it for a moment before beginning his experiment.

[Green Pulse Art]

He used his special cultivation technique on himself to see whether it could speed up its growth.

'Swoosh'

In the next second, a faint green glow enveloped Ethan's body as he activated [Green Pulse Art], directing the plant essence in his body toward the Ghostbone Thistle that had merged with his skeletal structure.

Almost instantly, he felt the bone-deep chill intensify. It wasn't visible, but Ethan could sense it.

The Ghostbone Thistle was stimulated by the plant essence he supplied and started greedily absorbing the plant essence from his very marrow.

'Let's see how much I can push it.'

After sensing the Ghostbone Thistle's reaction, Ethan knew he could speed up its growth using his [Green Pulse Art].

Hence, he decided to fully focus on guiding the energy flow carefully.

Unlike external spirit plants that drew nourishment from the soil, the Ghostbone Thistle relied entirely on bone essence to grow.

Of course, he was cautious because supplying too much bone essence could make his bones weaken.

'I think it is enough for now….huff'

Although only one minute had passed, Ethan exhaled sharply, feeling a slight wave of exhaustion wash over him.

His bones ached faintly, which made Ethan think it was a sign that they had been slightly tempered and refined by the Ghostbone Thistle's influence.

'Let's see how much it has grown from that single session.'

With a thought, Ethan checked its [Live Status] and [Maturity].

[Spirit Seed: Ghostbone Thistle]

[Maturity Period: 9990 days (-10 days)]

[Status: Excited: Yes! More! I can feel myself getting stronger… Huh? Wait… This is too much! If I take more, this body might break… That's bad. I should stop… for now.]

'Only ten days of growth, and I'm already feeling the drain?'

Looking at the 10 days of growth in the Ghostbone Thistle, Ethan bitterly shook his head; however, he was not surprised.

'With my current cultivation, speeding up the growth of a Special Rank 5 Spirit Plant is already an achievement, not to mention, it grew 10 days in less than a minute.'

Thinking about it, Ethan felt proud and decided to spend one minute on the Ghostbone Thistle every day.

'It is time to hatch the Heavenly Beast Egg.'

Once he finished taking care of the Ghostbone Thistle, Ethan's eyes fell on the Rank 5 Spirit Beast; however, before he hatched it, Ethan wanted to hatch the Heavenly Beast Egg that he had bought from the [Interface].

'I wonder what type of Heavenly Spirit Beast will come out of it.'
