The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 561 - 246: Legend of the Earth Immortal_2

Yu Ruoxin sniffling, gradually relaxed her tense neck.

"Whoosh~~~"

The sound of ripples in the water echoed simultaneously in the ears of the seven disciples.

In an instant, Yu Ruoxin standing on the spot seemed to have become a different person.

Her clothes, though washed till they were white and modestly styled.

No unusual glow came from it, but invisibly, her aura was particularly long-lasting.

Sometimes like flowing water, sometimes like drifting leaves, sometimes like the wind on a meadow, sometimes like the cheers of insects and birds.

"Quack! Quack Quack!!!"

GuaGua looked surprised, then suddenly took control of the Sixth-grade Lotus platform, and jumped directly onto Yu Ruoxin’s head.

This was something that had never happened before. Apart from Ye Hanjun and Huazhu, GuaGua seldom had close contact with other Fond Spirits, let alone humans.

But this scene happened, GuaGua stood on Yu Ruoxin’s head, sticking his chest out and closing his eyes in ecstasy.

Ye Hanjun didn’t overthink it, he directly activated "Talent Identification".

Then, in the status column, he saw the label "Earth’s Grace (continuous)", raising his shoulders, he calmly said:

"Unfortunately, you are indeed a landlord."

"The passive ability of a C-rank ’Landlord’ is a ’Earth’s Grace’."

"Unlike other passive abilities that can be switched on and off at will, your passive ability is best kept turned on to the maximum, otherwise it might damage you instead."

"Emperor Han, is there no other possibility?"

As if hearing a ghost story, Yu Ruoxin covered her head, begging with wide eyes.

"Face reality." Ye Hanjun shook his head, "What ordinary people yearn for but can’t get, you don’t want."

"Of course, I can understand this feeling. Suddenly faced with a soul-shaking legend, and suddenly tagged with limitless potential, anyone would struggle with the change."

Yu Ruoxin’s eyes welled up with tears, and she said sorrowfully:

"Can this maiden no longer retire to the mountains..."

"I am actually pretty shy, every interaction with others is hard for me..."

Ye Hanjun couldn’t help but laugh:

"You can live wherever you want in the future, no one dares disturb you."

"However, I’ll probably have to live with you. You’ll at least need to build two huts, otherwise I won’t be able to carry out my duty as a guardian."

"Huh?"

Yu Ruoxin was left puzzled with tear stains running down her face.

"’Earth’s Grace’, a continuous buffing aura, and you are its hub, also called the core."

"No matter where you stay, whether it’s bloody devil soil or a fresh, green place, everything in the environment will experience a slow, continuous positive amplification because of your presence."

"Trees that normally take a hundred years to grow may only need ten or so years to reach the same height."

"Spiritual plants that usually produce fruit once a millennium may crop every hundred years - maybe even more because you live nearby."

"With you at the center, radiating out over a large area, besides the thriving development of the natural ecology, all Fond Spirits of a similar or lower rank to you will enjoy the advantage of accelerated growth."

"At the same time, their birth rates, health levels, Spirit Wisdom, and even their mood every day will subtly change because of you."

"You - are the landlord."

"Landlord, not a master of people, nor a master of beasts, but a master of lands!"

"Even creatures with no Spirit Wisdom, which are extremely violent, will develop a fondness for you after getting to know you a little, and will not easily harm you."

"Those spirit creatures which have spent some time with you and have Spirit Wisdom, would easily consider you as their ’mother’ or ’the leader in their territory’, they won’t allow outsiders to approach let alone harm you."

"... In short, by having ’Landlord’, you have a domain."

"This domain can expand and change depending on where you stay and for how long."

"As for your active abilities, you should have two."

"You may have already tried ’Earth Burrow’ - which is nothing more than burrowing into the ground to move positions and enhance your survival ability."

"Don’t underestimate this active ability, you are a 4th Order now, but the majority of Life Wheel-level Earth Elemental beasts, probably can’t compare to your flexibility and safety in the soil."

"It seems so."

Yu Ruoxin nodded her head like a pecking chicken:

"When in the soil, I feel like I’m flying."

"I suddenly appeared one thousand meters away, then in another moment I burrowed deep into the ground, I accidentally saw some buried skeletons, and it scared me."

"With a bit of practice, you will get used to it."

Ye Hanjun nodded, then said:

"The other active ability is even more magical."

"The longer you stay in a place, the more that place is influenced by you. Activating this ability called ’Collection’, you will gain a lot of experience points to promote your professional growth."

"Of course, experience points are just an important part of the gains."

"Aside from experience points, ’Collection’ can give you tangible treasures, like ripe Spiritual Medicine or rare minerals... The longer you have waited before collecting, the higher the quality of these treasures. If it is a few hundred years before each collection, the treasure gained could incite conflict even from higher ranks which could lead to a war."
