"Blue Silver Grass," does it have thoughts?
As a professional who has cultivated over twenty thousand Blue Silver Grass plants, from seed selection to rooting, sprouting, one-year-old, three-year-old, ten-year-old, breaking the First Lock (ten years or more), ninety-nine years, breaking the Second Lock (one hundred years), two hundred years, three hundred years, Ling Yi has personally cultivated each stage of Blue Silver Grass and can definitively answer: no!
At least, Blue Silver Grass below one hundred years does not even have the concept of consciousness.
They possess only instinct!
Only when they reach the century mark does a vague sense of existence begin to form. This sense of existence is even less developed than that of newborn kittens or puppies and is similar to the initial state of birds forming in their eggs.
Ling Yi has personally observed the mental state of newborn cats and dogs and has sensed the state of chickens hatching eggs at home.
Only when the Second Lock is broken does Blue Silver Grass gradually resemble a native creature of the Douluo Continent, with a response to Spiritual Power.
Spiritual Power acts like a converter, transforming the external spiritual energy and the energy of heaven and earth into nourishment, gradually nurturing the vague sense of existence of Blue Silver Grass, allowing it to begin the journey of developing consciousness.
If we were to change the worldview, this Spiritual Power could also be called—Demonic Power!
Of course, they are merely different forms of extraordinary energy, and the name is just a label. For the current Ling Yi, it has little significance.
Returning to the consciousness of Blue Silver Grass.
From breaking the Second Lock and becoming a century-old Blue Silver Grass, it begins to form a vague consciousness, showing responses such as affection, comfort, and liking, rather than the century-below Blue Silver Grass, which would turn to ashes in ignorance if burned.
Pain? It does not have this concept.
But at the century mark, they do have this concept.
Therefore, Ling Yi says that at the century mark, Blue Silver Grass truly qualifies as a native product of the Douluo Continent—a Soul Beast!
Now, Ling Yi feels as if he has become such a Soul Beast, viewing the outside world from the perspective of a Soul Beast named Blue Silver Grass.
On the Douluo Continent (Parallel World 10088), in the northeastern part of the Tian Dou Empire, in the eastern coastal area of the Waterwood Principality, in Beikouhe Town, Shanhai Village.
Ling Yi can clearly perceive that his body is still in the secret chamber three meters below his room, but his perspective appears in Shanhai Village.
Not just one place in Shanhai Village, but in various places!
These places have one thing in common.
That is, they have one or many Blue Silver Grass plants growing.
Ling Yi has experienced this state before, when simulating Blue Silver Grass for training, when using his mental power to perceive the outside world, and when deeply sleeping and sensing the surroundings, but never as clearly as this time!
Unfortunately, this state lasted for less than three breaths. Before Ling Yi's consciousness could explore outside Shanhai Village, it returned to the Ling family courtyard, to his room, to the underground chamber, and back to his body with a "whoosh."
Ling Yi opened his eyes with a sense of unfinished business, recalling the marvel of that state and sensing his own condition.
At this moment, Ling Yi's body is in one word, good! Two words, healthy! Three words, developed! Four words, completely renewed!!
His body, defying the laws of bone development from his previous life, has grown a bit, just reaching 1.7 meters. After all, there are no men of 1.69 or 1.79 meters tall in this world.
His originally fair skin, which had taken on a slight yellowish tinge from years of hammering at the forge despite the repair by Spiritual Power, now appears as smooth as congealed fat. His already handsome face, as if enhanced by a beauty filter, has become even more attractive, improving from 89 to 90 on a hundred-point scale.
Externally, his body is full of vitality and vigor. His meridians have widened by nearly half, becoming more resilient. His muscles, bones, and tendons have become stronger and tougher, and his internal organs—heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and intestines—are like new, clean inside and out, with excellent performance.
After sensing the changes within his body, Ling Yi began to observe the outside world.
As expected, when he opened his eyes, the world in Ling Yi's eyes became more real, colorful, and vivid.
In the terms of his previous life, Ling Yi's vision had evolved from 480P standard definition to 720P high definition, and it was completely uncensored!
'I've just become a One-Ring Soul Master, but how does it feel like a complete transformation?'
Ling Yi raised his hand, and his index and middle fingers of his right hand tapped his forehead, deep in thought.
Thinking about this, Ling Yi spread his right hand, and with a mental command, a faint blue light flashed, and a Blue Silver Grass with slightly altered appearance appeared before him.
Compared to before, his current Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, which originally had one stem and four leaves, now has two stems and seven leaves, is about a third longer, the stem is nearly twice as thick, the leaves are much thicker, and the overall pale blue color is closer to blue.
'This aura…' Ling Yi's eyes flickered with a hint of excitement, and a smile spread across his face.
Although he had expected it, when the expectation became reality, Ling Yi could not suppress his inner joy.
He could force himself to control it, but there was no need. Life is about experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
'A century… Blue… Silver… Grass…' Ling Yi repeated each word in his mind.
After four years of painstaking effort, Ling Yi's Martial Soul has finally become a century-old Blue Silver Grass!
If, when Ling Yi first awakened, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul inherited from the Ling family was a recognized waste Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent, no different from the common Blue Silver Grass found everywhere, then the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul in Ling Yi's right hand now has an aura that is not inferior to the three-hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass he 'sacrificed' to himself!
Not only that!
In Ling Yi's perception, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul in his hand seems to have 'come to life,' with its own 'breath.'
With each breath, the vitality and vigor of the Blue Silver Grass plants in the underground chamber are drawn to the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Ling Yi's powerful and acute mental power perceives a sense of growth in his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul…
No! This is not an illusion!
Ling Yi's eyes flashed with a bright light, and he looked intently at the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul in his right hand, its leaves gently swaying. He was certain—it was truly growing!!!
"Truly… fascinating—"
Ling Yi's face showed an enigmatic smile as he muttered to himself.
