Reincarnated as a Mosquito, the School Beauty I Sucked to Tears is a Reborn Empress

Mu’s Spirit Plant Manor, third level.

Chu Sheng used his old trick to arrive here silently.

The third level was already part of the inner ring, and its area was much smaller than the first and second levels outside.

The Spiritual Plants grown here were Fifth-Grade and above.

Spiritual Plants of the Fifth-Grade and above were considered High-Level Spiritual Plants. Even for Mu’s Spirit Plant Manor, there wouldn’t be many.

Chu Sheng didn’t start absorbing right away. Instead, he quickly circled the third level, giving it a brief inspection.

Inside, Fifth-Grade Spiritual Plants were the most numerous, with about fifty-some mature specimens. The number of Sixth-Grade ones dropped sharply to only a dozen or so, and the rarest were the Seventh-Grade Spirit Grasses, of which there were only five!

Since he could be discovered at any moment, Chu Sheng didn’t waste any time. This time, he would prioritize absorbing those five Seventh-Grade Spiritual Plants!

Among these five Seventh-Grade Spirit Grasses, four were identical, growing side by side in a row.

Their branches and leaves were very ordinary, and they were quite short, only about twenty-something centimeters tall, but... at the tip of their branches grew a single deep-red fruit, like a flame.

On the fruit’s surface, a layer of dark-red Spiritual Qi flowed, making it seem as if the fruit was burning.

’What a pity...’ Chu Sheng wasn’t well-read and didn’t recognize what kind of Spirit Fruit this was.

But that was fine. He’d find out once he started absorbing it!

Chu Sheng flew up, hovered above the Spirit Fruit, and extended a proboscis from his Little New Roach Battle Treasure, plunging it into the red fruit!

Instantly, an incredibly violent surge of Life Energy was extracted by the Soul-devouring Demon Spike... Because this Life Energy was so immense, the time it took for Chu Sheng to absorb it became much longer!

[Ding! Seventh-Grade Spirit Fruit ”Dragon Blood Bodhi” detected. Now absorbing Life Essence...]

[Ding! ”Fire Realm (Perfection Level)” detected. Now absorbing...]

Hmm? The system gave two consecutive notifications.

’Dragon Blood Bodhi?’

This Spirit Fruit called Dragon Blood Bodhi not only contained a massive amount of Life Essence, but it also held the Fire Realm!

’Hot damn! What a pleasant surprise.’

’So, the Origin of a Realm can exist in Qi Blood, in corporeal Mental Power, and even in High-Level Spiritual Plants!’

’These Spiritual Plants, born from absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi... the higher their grade, the more likely they are to contain a Natural Realm, or even the Power of Origin.’

’And this Seventh-Grade Spirit Fruit contained a Perfection Level Fire Realm.’

With Gu Yuexi not around, Chu Sheng could only rely on his own guesses for these things.

Thus, Chu Sheng made a bold deduction: Eighth-Grade Spiritual Plants must contain an even higher Realm state, perhaps Great Perfection. A Ninth-Grade Spiritual Plant, then, could very well contain a natural Origin!

’Origin, a state even more High-Tier than a Realm’s Great Perfection! It represents an initial mastery over the rules of heaven and earth!’

’Of course, a Spiritual Plant containing a ’Realm’s Origin’ was probably just a matter of chance.’

’The general rule should be that the higher the grade, the higher the probability of it containing a Realm, and the higher the level of that Realm.’

...

As Chu Sheng pondered, he maintained his posture, absorbing the Spirit Fruit.

A full five minutes later, he finally finished absorbing the Spirit Fruit!

[All Life Essence of the ”Dragon Blood Bodhi” has been absorbed. Evolution Points +200]

[Realm absorption successful! Host’s Fire Realm Comprehension +500. Fire Realm has reached Minor Success.]

[Host’s resistance to the Fire Attribute has increased. Flame Destruction Power has received a minor boost, and Flame Manipulation Power has also improved!]

’Five minutes to get 200 Evolution Points. In terms of efficiency, it’s not even as good as absorbing those Third- and Fourth-Grade Spiritual Plants.’

’But right now, Evolution Points aren’t the priority.’

’The priority is Realm Comprehension!’

’This was my only weakness, and now it’s starting to get stronger!’

Chu Sheng opened his data panel and checked the Realm column. Sure enough, there was a new entry: Fire Realm!

[Fire Realm: Minor Success (500/2000). Fire Attribute resistance and Destructive Power slightly increased. Flame Manipulation Power slightly increased.]

[Earth Realm: Entry (350/500). Physical and Spirit Defense Power minutely increased.]

[Water Realm: Entry (210/500). Water Attribute resistance and Destructive Power minutely increased. Water Manipulation Power slightly increased.]

[Tip: Realm Comprehension levels are as follows: 100 for Entry, 500 for Minor Success, 2000 for Great Success, 5000 for Perfection, 8000 for Great Perfection. Breaking 10,000 allows one to touch Origin!]

Just one Dragon Blood Bodhi had brought his Realm Comprehension to the Minor Success stage.

’Isn’t this just fucking perfect?’

’There are three more right here. If I absorb them all, won’t I reach Great Success?’

’Am I finally going to master a Realm at Great Success?!’

Chu Sheng was incredibly excited. He immediately took out his Soul-devouring Demon Spike and viciously plunged it into another Dragon Blood Bodhi!

This Dragon Blood Bodhi should be considered top-tier among Seventh-Grade Spirit Grasses. The Mu Family must have spent a lot of time cultivating these four stalks—at least three to five years!

But for Chu Sheng to absorb them, it would only take twenty minutes!

Fifteen minutes later, the other three Dragon Blood Bodhi had also completely lost their Spiritual Qi and withered in an instant.

The three Dragon Blood Bodhi brought him another 600 Evolution Points and 1500 points of Fire Realm Comprehension.

’Fire Realm... Great Success!’

In that instant, Chu Sheng felt his understanding of flames deepen significantly!

Before, he was merely casting Skills, but now, he felt as if he had touched upon the very essence of flame.

Whether it was the Soul-devouring Nether Flame, the Soul-Bursting Flame Feather, or even the Nether Flame Battle Armor, his understanding and control over them had grown considerably!

This was especially true for Flame Burst Feather. He could only cast it straightforwardly before, but now, he felt he could even control the Flaming Feathers to make all sorts of turns, track targets, merge, and split apart...

’This feels incredible!’ At this moment, Chu Sheng was practically bursting with euphoria.

This trip to the Spirit Plant Manor was truly worth it. What felt even better was that the manor belonged to the Mu Family, so he didn’t feel a shred of guilt.

Next up, the fifth Seventh-Grade Spiritual Plant!

This Spiritual Plant was rather special; it was a piece of scorched black wood. It didn’t seem to be cultivated by the Mu Family, but rather obtained from somewhere else. It wasn’t buried in the soil but placed on an empty patch of ground.

As soon as Chu Sheng got close, he felt a tingling sensation... ’Damn it, this thing is electrified!’

’I don’t care if it’s electric, I’m absorbing it!’

[Ding! Seventh-Grade Spiritual Plant ”Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunderstruck Wood” detected. Now absorbing Life Essence...]

[Ding! ”Thunder Realm (Perfection Level)” detected. Now absorbing...]

After Chu Sheng had been getting shocked for five minutes...

[All Life Essence of the ”Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunderstruck Wood” has been absorbed. Evolution Points +200]

[Realm absorption successful! Host’s Thunder Realm Comprehension +500. Thunder Realm has reached Minor Success. Host’s resistance to the Thunder Attribute has increased, and the Host has gained initial mastery over a trace of the Power of Thunder and Lightning.]

The moment the system’s voice sounded, an arc of lightning flashed across Chu Sheng’s Little New Roach Battle Treasure!

’Sweet!’

’I’ve comprehended another Realm, and it’s even the extremely difficult-to-grasp Thunder Realm!’

However, Chu Sheng didn’t celebrate for long. The five Seventh-Grade Spirit Grasses were finished, but he couldn’t let the others go to waste. Onward!

Time ticked by, second by second. On the third level, the Spiritual Plants fell one by one.

「Meanwhile.」

After battling for several hours, Mu Linyuan finally claimed victory with a score of 1-18.

”Heh, carried the team. No explanation needed!”

Mu Linyuan tossed out the line with a smug air, then finally put down his phone.

”Let’s go. Time to make a patrol round, otherwise Dad will say I’m slacking off again.”

He led a few Spiritual Mind Masters and Array Masters to the first level, the outermost ring.

”Tch, these Second-Grade Spirit Grasses... I don’t even know what they’re for. Only poor people would use this kind of Spirit Grass for Cultivation, right?”

Mu Linyuan gave them a casual glance and then headed for the second level.

However, the moment he stepped onto the second level, Mu Linyuan froze.

His body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Behind him, the few Spiritual Mind Masters and Array Masters in charge of security also seemed to sense that something was wrong.

”Young Master Mu, what’s wrong?!”

Mu Linyuan’s legs gave out, and he knelt on the ground. A pale yellow liquid trickled out from under him.

’What’s wrong?’

His world had collapsed.
