Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

610 A Bamboo Spirit

Seeing the information, Lin Wu was surprised.

"This thing… it's an egg? Shouldn't it be a seed instead?" Lin Wu said feeling confused.

He read the information again and realized that the information was talking about a completely different being than just a spirit herb that was the bamboo.

"System, what is a Bamboo spirit?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The bamboo spirit is a type of plant spirit and is formed after thousands of years of accumulation. It is a spirit born from the collective consciousness of the bamboo forest and can become very strong if it can grow.

When born, it will be of a similar shape to that of its originating plant, but of a miniature form. It will also not be limited to a single location and would be able to move around as needed.

The Bamboo spirit can cultivate and grow stronger through the consumption of other resources along with spirit Qi. The stronger the bamboo spirit grows, the better its abilities get.

Its chief ability is to enhance and augment the growth of various spirit herbs. Just by being in the vicinity of spirit herbs is enough for it to almost double the growth rate of those herbs.

And if a bamboo spirit can be made to take care of a spirit herb, its growth and quality would both increase by multiple times.

In ancient times, bamboo spirits were one of the most common plant spirits that were used to farm for spirit herbs in cultivation sects. But over time, they would either perish to the dangers of cultivation just like normal humans or would be killed for other purposes.

In addition to being useful for the growth of spirit herbs, the bamboo spirits themselves are useful for some alchemical pills, though the system currently does not have any information about it.

——

Seeing the System's answer, Lin Wu reckoned that perhaps this is why the power behind Old Man Lu had decided to act.

"So they want these eggs… but even then, it doesn't seem like there is a guarantee that they would grow a bamboo spirit. Also, why does the system not have any information about the pills? It's unusual considering the amount of information we gathered." Lin Wu said.

To this, the system had a very quick response.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: In the current times, the Bamboo spirits or, for that matter, any plant spirit is considered a blessing and is thus revered whenever it comes into existence. Every sect would vie for the plant spirit and would do their best to nurture it if they ever got one.

The ones that used a plant spirit to refine alchemical pills would be greatly punished if not killed. There were a lot of cultivators that would hunt down plant spirits in the past since they were such a valuable ingredient of the pills.

Thus, to prevent and stop it, the sects collectively destroyed and restrained the information about pills that used plant spirits as ingredients for pill refinement. Even unorthodox sects supported the agreement and the only ones that were in opposition were a few clans and rogue cultivators.

Since most of the cultivators that refined pills like that from plant spirits were either rogue or from those kinds of cultivation clans and could not afford to wait for the long term benefits of the Plant spirit, they would very much prefer to refine the plant spirit into a pill.

——

"Huh… so that's how it is. Though yeah, the long term gains of having a plant spirit are far better than just refining one into a pill." Lin Wu said, seeing the answer.

Now that he knew that the bamboo spirit could help out with the growth of the spirit herbs, Lin Wu couldn't help but want one as well.

"System, what are the chances that this egg will successfully hatch a bamboo spirit?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The possibility of a Millennium Parrot Bamboo spirit being born from this egg is 5.68%.

——

The system's answer poured cold water over Lin Wu's plan.

"This… this is as good as nothing." Lin Wu said.

But then a few seconds later, another thought came to his mind.

"HANG ON A SECOND!" Lin Wu realized something.

He opened the map and flipped through the filters before changing a setting.

~shua~

The map changed its markers and a few seconds later, tens of small red-green markers appeared on the map.

"BINGO! It's not just one such egg, there are more!" Lin Wu exclaimed.

He looked at the time and spoke, "come on! Gather more of these flowers and the marbles that they have on them. Go sniff them out,"

~WHOOSH~

Tim didn't have to hear it a second time and he shot forward like a gust of wind. Lin Wu could see his marker moving towards one of the markers on the left side of the map.

"Hmm, I take the right side then…" Lin Wu muttered and went to find the flowers.

About ten seconds later, Lin Wu had found the second flower. Though looking at it, Lin Wu found it to be different from the others.

"Oh? Why's this one bigger than the previous one?" Lin Wu questioned.

He could also see that the marble like egg in the center was slightly bigger than the previous one. The flower itself was twice the size of the first one that Lin Wu had seen.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The bigger the size, the better the potential of the egg. The hatching probability of this egg is 7.14%.

——

Seeing this, the system's eyes lit up. "Let's get them all then!" Lin Wu said as he sped up his task.

In less than ten minutes, he had gathered all of the Millennium Parrot Bamboo eggs that were present in the area and waited for Tim.

Lin Wu checked through the various probabilities of them hatching a bamboo spirit and saw that the hugest probability he had was 10.39%. As for the lowest one, it was a meager 1.97%.

'Hopefully, Tim has ones with even better chances…' Lin Wu thought.
