Protect Our Chief

Chapter 970 - 48: Return Home! Wang Family’s Comprehensive Combat Power Greatly Enhanced (Part 2)

As for the Life Tree, being an extremely rare and precious Immortal Spirit Species, its effects are naturally even stronger.Even though it’s just sprouted recently, Wang Shouzhe can still feel that as he injects Profound Qi into it, a small strand of energy filled with life is fed back to him from the Life Tree, slowly nourishing his body, giving him a feeling of clarity and refreshment.

This should be the benefit that Lifebound Spirit Plants bring to their owners.

However, the Life Tree is still small, and the effect is not obvious yet. But Wang Shouzhe can feel that this energy is very beneficial to the body. With long-term nourishment, his constitution should improve significantly, and perhaps his lifespan will be greatly extended.

"From now on, you’re a member of our Wang Family." Wang Shouzhe gently touched the tender leaves of the Life Tree, feeling very pleased, "From now on, you’ll be like my child, just like Wang Lilong~ Let me give you a name, how about... I’ll call you ’Shu’Er’, is that okay? When you grow a little bigger, I’ll..."

"No way!" Liua Ruolan happened to return to the room and immediately expressed her opposition upon hearing Wang Shouzhe’s words, "Girls can’t be given such an ugly name like ’Wang Lishu’!"

"But dear, it’s still a seedling. How can you be sure it’s definitely a girl? What if it’s a boy?" Wang Shouzhe broke into a cold sweat.

Strictly speaking, exotic Spirit Plants like the Life Tree don’t actually have any gender distinctions, as many trees are self-pollinating. Whether it becomes male or female depends entirely on its self-awareness leaning towards one side.

So, it’s best not to preset its gender, or it could easily backfire. Senior Brother Jinshan’s peony is a painful example.

However, Liua Ruolan held a different view.

According to her understanding, the Life Tree’s abilities are about growth and nurturing, how could it possibly be a boy?

The two couldn’t unify their opinions.

Soon, the newly born Life Tree seedling was sent out of the room, and the door to the barracks was slammed shut with a ’bang’.

The Life Tree gently shook its leaves, listening to the commotion coming from the barracks, vaguely feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

Why does the owner’s aura seem to have weakened?

After a bout of "friendly debate," Wang Shouzhe ultimately decided to give in to his wife, handing over the naming rights to Liua Ruolan.

And so the name of the Life Tree was finally decided by Liua Ruolan, taking the "Xian" character from Immortal Spirit Species, named "Wang Lixian" with the preset gender of daughter.

Wang Shouzhe also gave up struggling.

Wang Lixian it is~ A daughter shall it be, anyway, there are already so many daughters, one more doesn’t make a difference.

However, the just-sprouted Life Tree is only Tier One, clearly incapable of assisting in the upcoming battles. Therefore, in the next phase, Wang Shouzhe began utilizing his Profound Qi characteristics to fully nurture the Life Tree.

The Life Tree is a naturally exotic species, vastly different from Spirit Medicines like Vermilion Fruit and Purple Ganoderma that rarely develop intelligence. In terms of life essence, it is actually more akin to Fierce and Spirit Beasts. Therefore, its power levels are also referenced from Fierce and Spirit Beasts’ power rankings.

Through Wang Shouzhe’s nurturing, the Life Tree’s strength grew rapidly.

One day later, Wang Lixian’s strength reached Tier Two, equivalent to the Middle to Late Stage of the Qi Refining Realm for humans.

Even though the outcome was expected, Wang Shouzhe was still secretly amazed by its rapid ascent. According to the situation of a wild Life Tree, it would never grow so fast.

The primary reason is due to the Lifebound Sacrifice Refinement. The growth of Lifebound Spirit Plants is faster until their realm catches up with their owner. Furthermore, Wood Profound Qi (various Wood Element) has growth accelerating effects on Spirit Plants.

It is only because Wang Shouzhe’s Life Origin Energy perfectly aligns with the Life Tree that such a miracle was produced.

Six days later, the strength of the Life Tree reached Tier Three, equivalent to the Early to Middle Stage of the Spirit Platform Realm in humans.

After reaching Tier Three, its growth speed noticeably slowed down, and only after more than twenty days did it break through Tier Three and reach Tier Four.

However, an Immortal Spirit Species is an Immortal Spirit Species, even at Tier Four, it’s not to be underestimated.

The Tier Four "Wang Lixian" had already grown a tree trunk thick enough for several people to embrace, its canopy lush and expansive like an umbrella.

The vast and pure Life Energy within her was now as vast as the sea, naturally forming a "Life Domain."

This is the strength of an Immortal Spirit Species.

Benefiting from the powerful life essence, even at Tier Four, she was almost equivalent to a human who has awakened the Sixth Layer Bloodline, naturally able to wield Heavenly Dao Divine Techniques, and these techniques are clearly stronger than ordinary Minor Divine Techniques.

If not for the Life Tree’s level being too low, this Life Domain would definitely be even stronger.

The Life Energy within the Life Domain is so rich it seems close to liquefying.

Wang Shouzhe had Shou Lian help conduct an experiment and found that under the Life Domain’s coverage, simple flesh wounds healed almost instantaneously, and more serious injuries like fractures and internal organ trauma healed at a slower pace but only took about a quarter of an hour to recover.

This effect is already comparable to Wang Shouzhe’s Profound Qi healing capabilities, and even covers a broader range.

Initially, he wanted to test the effects of Life Domain on meridian injuries but, after glancing at Shou Lian who had been through several rounds of experimentation and looked a bit unwell, he decided to put that thought aside.
