Chapter 112: Chapter 86: I Just Want to Grow a Piece of Sky

"Hiss—why is there so much transcendent radiance on you? Yet there’s not a single transcendent item on you???"

"And why is there so much inside your body???"

Mafas had been a bit too curious and used a Detect Magic spell on Gu Shanhai, who had no ability to conceal it, so it was seen through.

This somewhat shook Mafas’s worldview.

"Oh, you’re talking about this? It’s because of the plants I cultivate and the constant prophecy spells I have on me. The reason you see so much radiance is that each prophecy spell is reinforced with a great deal of transcendent magic techniques," Gu Shanhai said, seemingly unconcerned.

"I get the latter part but why would the plants have radiance? And I don’t see any plants," Mafas said, puzzled.

"Because I cultivate them inside me. Look," Gu Shanhai said, and a tender sprout popped out from his forehead.

Mafas recognized it at a glance—it was a newly sprouted oak tree. At that moment, his worldview began to invert.

If before the abundant radiance on Gu Shanhai had just been a shock, now the fact that someone was growing a tree inside their own body completely stupefied him.

He resolutely used a bloodline discernment prophecy spell on Gu Shanhai, a basic spell that could identify a creature’s bloodline. By Mafas’s age, while he might not learn high-level spells, he had picked up a few low-level ones.

And this bloodline discernment was quite useful.

With the opponent’s casting level and various transcendent magic techniques enhancing it, Gu Shanhai’s bloodline was naturally determined.

"You’re actually a human!!!" Mafas was shocked and then bewildered. Sure, he was a human, but why could a human have plants cultivated inside them?

Judging from the transcendent radiance coming from inside Gu Shanhai, he had at least six magical plants inside him, including the oak tree and five other unknown plants.

"Of course, what else would I be if not human?"

If this were his past life, he really wouldn’t dare to assert that he was human, but now, having been reborn, he definitely belonged to pureblooded humanity.

"Let me think this through, let me think this through," Mafas didn’t respond immediately, instea,d wearing an expression that suggested he’d never seen anything like this before.

"So, what are you thinking? To actually cultivate plants inside your body—even a Plague Druid wouldn’t do that," Mafas asked, not even daring to ask how Gu Shanhai managed it.

"Because I think it’s more efficient to produce and consume on my own," Gu Shanhai said earnestly, "I hope that one day, I can cultivate a world of plants."

"..."

At that moment, Mafas thought Gu Shanhai was a bit crazy. Could a normal person come up with such an idea?

If the cultivation were normal, he would be very reassured, but Gu Shanhai was planting them inside his body.

"Have you ever considered that your body might not be able to withstand that many plants? Oak trees can grow into towering giants," Mafas wanted to persuade Gu Shanhai to give it up.

"Of course, I’ve thought about it, and it’s been a source of constant concern, but no worries. There are plenty of magical plants in this world, and there’s bound to be a solution," Gu Shanhai spoke the truth; though he was concerned, he wasn’t worried.

Even if there wasn’t a suitable plant, he’d develop the appropriate techniques as he continued to grow stronger.

As for the oak tree? That was even simpler—just keep it from growing, and it was quite easy to control the size of the Spirit Plants that he himself was cultivating.

Mafas didn’t answer immediately. His mind was filled with thoughts of whether there might be a mad Druid out there.

After all, what Gu Shanhai was doing was certainly shocking, but then again, there didn’t seem to be any major problems—it wasn’t bothering anyone, nor was it causing any harm to nature.

"Alright, if you have any problems, you can come to me. I’ll think of a way to help you," Mafas said for lack of anything else; he wanted to persuade him but found no reason to.

"Of course, if there’s a problem, I definitely won’t..." Gu Shanhai didn’t finish speaking when he suddenly heard a noise and turned his head to look in the direction.

"Kurus Brass? Strange, why would he come to Deer Plain?" In the next instant, Mafas transformed into a gigantic White Wolf, his body covered with terrifying lightning, and then he ran toward the distant Brass Dragon.

"Calm down, Mafas, I’m here as a guest," Kurus spoke while circling in the sky.

His unannounced arrival in his giant dragon form naturally caused alarm.

It was understandable for Mafas to transform immediately.

Kurus was also the first to revert to human form, showing sincerity, and only then did Mafas recover.

"Sorry, your arrival was too sudden," Mafas apologized when he saw this.

"I am the one at fault for being abrupt. Let me see, indeed, Shanhai, you have successfully become a Marked Druid. It’s truly a pity that if you had been willing to become one of our Dragon Vein Druids, that would have been even better," Kurus’s voice carried a hint of wistfulness.

Next to him, Mafas’s expression darkened. If earlier he might have thought the other was joking, after seeing how extraordinary Gu Shanhai was, he felt like the other was trying to poach him.

Luckily he hadn’t been lured away, otherwise they would have suffered a great loss.

"Dragon Vein Druids are not suitable for me, Elder Kurus. How come you have the time to visit today?" Gu Shanhai asked.

"Just passing by. Previously, Merlin Ambrosius had entrusted me with a task to kill a Flame Demon in the Elemental Realm. After I took the corpse to him, I was on my way back from healing my wounds and just happened to pass by Deer Plain, so I thought I’d pay you a visit," Kurus said.
