Chapter 89: Chapter 78: Spirit Plant·General Worship Platform, Powerful Synergistic Effect

"It’s not an energy-storing type of supernatural ability..." Gu Shanhai used Yuan Suo Grass to employ Xuanwei Sect spells to inspect and identify the newly acquired supernatural plant and quickly reached a conclusion.

This supernatural plant was named Ugly Horn Blue, featuring dense blue, horn-shaped flowers with a light, refreshing scent.

The ability was soul baptism, a very rare type of soul and spirit-oriented special ability, possessing no combat power but rather resembling resurrection capabilities, albeit with significant limitations.

Thus, the swarm of Ghost Bees was not actually supernatural beasts but rather spectral beings mistakenly resurrected.

The reason why there were so many Ghost Bees was that Ugly Horn Blue had absorbed the spirits and souls of all life that had died from genetic collapse in its vicinity, which allowed the Ghost Bees to live so long.

Because of this, once Ugly Horn Blue moved a certain distance from the Ghost Bee nest, the entire nest and all the Ghost Bees died—not because the Queen Bee died, but because the loss of support led to their total collapse.

Gu Shanhai was somewhat disappointed by this; he had wanted a Spirit Plant with energy-storing capabilities, but this supernatural plant was still quite good. After he cultivated it into a Spirit Plant and planted it on his body, it could passively nourish his soul and enhance his spirit, which was considered a passive ability.

Of course, there were also active abilities. Aside from absorbing spirits and souls, it could also manipulate externally compatible items.

Previously, Ugly Horn Blue had used its soul baptism ability, like a resurrection capability, to transform a nest of dead hornets into spectral beings, leading the hornets to believe they were still alive and instinctively swarm around searching for souls and spirits to nourish Ugly Horn Blue.

Gu Shanhai also obtained this corresponding ability but could not utilize it because it required specific conditions. He had tried several times but hadn’t found anything that could be transformed into a spectral being he could control.

"Strange, indeed nourishing the soul and enhancing the spirit is great, but doesn’t it seem not the best fit for me?" Gu Shanhai pondered with some confusion.

As for the active ability, he didn’t quite care much about it; it was only of minor significance.

Just like with Yuan Suo Grass, the passive was the truly good ability, the active ability only had real power when coupled with Xuanwei Sect spells.

This made it challenging for Gu Shanhai to understand why He Lingyun had said it was very suitable for him.

"Or is there something I haven’t discovered yet?" Gu Shanhai thought about it. As far as he was concerned, there was nothing else to explore in the passive part with only two abilities, so it could only be that something he needed was hidden within the active ability.

"Absorbing spirit and soul?" Gu Shanhai thought of this ability first.

Because the soul baptism on Ugly Horn Blue was a growth ability, it was fortunate that its transformation resulted in hornets, as if it had been some immovable fixed object, it would have been trapped, unable to grow.

Thus theoretically, Gu Shanhai could absorb others’ souls and spirits through Ugly Horn Blue, but of course, only theoretically, because in practice, he couldn’t absorb them at all; the real effect of the Ghost Bees was to collect those spirits that scattered after they were killed.

As for transformation and control... even more nonsense, Gu Shanhai simply didn’t have the ability to...

"Wait, maybe there really is one?"

Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but remember the spectral General summoned by the General Order Spirit Plant, which he hadn’t tried yet.

"The spectral beings transformed by soul baptism themselves are similar to ghosts, a non-corporeal energy existence, and what’s more important, they are not much different from real hornets, even able to carry a certain amount of their own will."

"And the spectral General lacks these."

Gu Shanhai was able to control it, but due to a lack of means, he had not been able to effectively modify and strengthen it, essentially having the usage rights but unable to further modify and enhance.

Thus, if the active ability of Ugly Horn Blue could successfully vitalize the spectral General and Gu Shanhai could control the spectral General through Ugly Horn Blue, then it indeed would be very suitable for him.

Therefore, he did not say much and immediately released a spectral figure through the General Order, and then through Ugly Horn Blue, transformed it.

In an instant, what was originally just a spectral figure gradually became real, a female-like figure riding a Black Tiger emerged; if it weren’t for the fact that her facial features and body weren’t fully congealed, she would look just like a normal person.

This, of course, was when Gu Shanhai, upon discovering that the use of soul baptism on the spectral figure summoned by the General Order seemed to be replicating a mountain ghost, forcibly stopped.

If he hadn’t cut off the mana just now, that mountain ghost might have come to life, and then there would have been trouble.

What he wanted was not a mountain ghost but a real war hero; if it really went in the direction of a mountain ghost, it would be more like a Mage, after all, with those skinny arms and legs, Gu Shanhai would have had to protect the other party.

This was clearly contrary to his original intention.

Therefore, he naturally started to modify it. Fortunately, it was just a spectral figure, with Ugly Horn Blue present, it wasn’t anything but an easy task.

"There are plenty of templates, just which one to choose?"

Riding a Black Tiger was not rare; of course, Gu Shanhai did not necessarily have to stick to a tiger; changing it to a winged tiger or flying tiger would be no problem.
