Chapter 75: Chapter 71: No Forbidden Law, Green Emperor’s Eternal Life

"The approximate location should be around here," Gu Shanhai arrived at the spot given to him by He Lingyun, having driven there. On the way, he had encountered one or two mutant beasts, none of which were as large as the gigantic color-changing dinosaur Gu Shanhai had seen at the beginning.

Not all mutant beasts grow in size, so when facing larger entities, they tend to avoid and flee, rather than truly pounce.

The mutation only grants them special abilities, not altering their survival strategies.

It’s not like turning into zombies or losing their reason.

Still, life is not easy for mutant beasts, as a large number of animals and plants have failed to awaken and collapsed dead. The survivors are all mutant beasts, some of which can’t even use their abilities, making their lives even more miserable than before. Fortunately, there are many fewer humans now, so these mutant beasts can scavenge a lot of food from what humans have left behind.

For now, there’s no worry about food and drink, but who knows about the future.

Gu Shanhai got out of the car, and after comparing his location to the map, he couldn’t help feeling a bit speechless.

"Great, I thought it was just some roadside weeds, but it’s in a building? How long is it going to take to search floor by floor?" Gu Shanhai complained, unsure why He Lingyun didn’t give him a detailed address.

He suspected he might have gotten sloppy towards the edge, leaving not enough space on the paper, so he only got a rather vague answer.

This was a large office building, expansive with clearly defined sections, surely a difficult place to search.

The plant was most likely something like an employee’s potted plant.

"I need to figure out a way to organize the Spirit Plants; right now, there are three of them in one pot. If I add a fourth, there won’t be room."

"And to carry around Spirit Plants is always a vulnerability."

Gu Shanhai wanted to make changes, but his Magic Domain was partially constructed from Spirit Plants. If he were to remove them, it would cause many troubles, especially in cultivation. Without Spiritual Energy, he would lack the essential conditions for practicing Qi Refinement.

"Let’s deal with it after I get this mutant plant with abilities and process it into a Spirit Plant."

Priorities must be clear. Now that he was here, he’d get it first.

"The electricity has already failed. I hope I can find it before it gets dark; otherwise, I’ll have to search in the pitch black."

Normally, he could just glance around an office and take in all the details. At present, he was sure that any living plant was the mutant plant he was searching for, as ordinary plants are long dead.

The building was filled with a pungent stench of decay, coming from life forms whose genes had collapsed. Thankfully, Gu Shanhai had the Purifying Grass to complement his Magic Domain; otherwise, it would have been truly unbearable.

"There’s a bit of good news: bacteria and viruses haven’t mutated due to exposure to the mutant energy. No one knows why."

"As for the fungi, I’m unsure if they are affected. If they are, that would be quite peculiar."

Fungi include molds, yeasts, mushrooms, and other well-known types and constitute a kingdom of life separate from animals and plants.

"Forget it, it’s not my problem. If something goes wrong, it’s He Lingyun’s headache," Gu Shanhai was curious but indifferent. After all, if the sky were to fall, there would be someone taller to bear it – it wouldn’t fall on him.

There’s no point in worrying about politics when out of office.

After searching floor by floor, Gu Shanhai finally found an ordinary-looking plant in an office on the fifteenth floor.

It was a plant with smooth, waxy leaves and small yellow flowers, truly nothing special at a glance.

"What’s its ability? Spouting water, spewing fire, or devouring?" As Gu Shanhai stepped in to check, aside from the sturdy texture, he felt little else.

In the next moment, his Qi Refining Second Layer·Perception ability seemed to suddenly magnify.

It wasn’t just his five senses that were magnified, but also his sixth sense, his intuition for danger, and so on. In that instant, he received an influx of unusual information.

"Time to cast a divination..."

Gu Shanhai immediately used the Xuanwei Sect’s Heavenly Mechanism Technique to divine the fate of the mutant plant.

Without this boost, he wouldn’t have been able to figure out much, but now it was different.

As the information flooded in, he drew his conclusions, but conversely, the mutant plant’s leaves drooped, looking a bit over-exhausted.

"Active use drains its power and causes weakness, requiring a period of recuperation. If it’s passive use, the consumption doesn’t seem to be as severe."

"Yuan Suo Grass, the ability is Heavenly Mechanism sensitivity. Such power on average mutants isn’t very useful, but combined with the Xuanwei Sect’s Three Veins Technique, it really gives me an edge."

This ability when active is somewhat like He Lingyun’s foresight; though it’s not as powerful, being instead somewhat vague. But combined with the Xuanwei Sect’s Spell, it becomes much more accurate; the effect, however, might diminish greatly once leaving this world.

The passive effect is to enhance the sixth sense and danger intuition. That’s the capacity Gu Shanhai was interested in because it acted on himself and he didn’t have to worry about being greatly reduced like the active effect.

Another point was that after processing into a Spirit Plant, it would further enhance the Heavenly Mechanism sensitivity.

No wonder He Lingyun said this plant was suitable for him.

"Specializing in Heavenly Mechanism, being a fortune teller does not seem bad either, a tanky fortune teller, that could be an interesting path to explore." Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but make a comment. Since acquiring the Xuanwei Sect’s Technique, he realized his system was leaning towards Heavenly Mechanism and divination, but that was a good path to develop.
