Chapter 37 Genealogy of Life
"Teacher Finn, I saw you gave Hemerocallis food?"
Pushing open the door of the botanist's room, Lindsay, now 16 years old, walked into the house.
He first untied the rain hat on his head, carefully shook off the rain outside the door, and then leaned it against the door.
"In fact, just leave this kind of thing to me."
"It's raining heavily, so it's not convenient for you to go out."
Finn just smiled and shook his head:
"Kid, it's okay."
"Although I am old, it is not a problem for me to spread food to a chicken. But I will bother you to touch it later. Did the daylilies lay eggs yesterday?"
"I'll go take a look right away."
As soon as Finn finished speaking, Lindsay's figure disappeared without a trace at the door.
He rushed out of the house very quickly, checked the chicken coop, and then returned inside.
The whole process only took three seconds.
When he placed the two eggs in front of Finn, only a few drops of rain fell on his shoulders.
"Hemerocallis is quite impressive, there are two today."
Finn nodded, admiration for Lindsay flashed in his eyes, and he noticed Lindsay's superhuman speed.
"With your strong and vigorous figure, it seems that your life essence has completed the first stage of cultivation, right?"
Lindsay admitted frankly:
"That's right, it's time for the second step."
Not long ago.
After three years of continuous healthy routine.
The preliminary cultivation of Lindsay's life essence has been completed, and the essence in his body is clearly visible.
He now has a stronger physique than ordinary people, and a better body's self-healing ability.
Mild swelling caused by collision will automatically disappear within a quarter of an hour.
If a finger is scratched by a sharp book page, the wound will heal completely after a day.
These are all abilities that owners of the essence of life will gain after the first advancement.
But it is different from the common sense recognized by all awakened people.
With the help of the power of the attribute panel, Lindsay also discovered a truth about the essence of life.
After advancement, the four words [Essence of Life] became [Genealogy of Life], and an icon like the Kabbalah Tree of Life was marked; the original level suffix of (Initial Awakening) also evolved into (Seed of Life) logo.
In this world, people generally treat the cultivation of essence as the same as expanding the energy bar. The skills you cultivate yourself and the series of abilities sublimated from those skills are the top priority for the awakened person.
But the properties panel doesn't lie.
Referring to the text changes in it, Lindsay had an intuition - cultivating the sefirah may also have a deeper effect.
At this time, Finn, who was sitting in front of the fireplace, was somewhat concerned about Lindsay's condition:
"as far as I know--"
"The cultivation of the second stage of life essence seems to be more troublesome."
Lindsay was a little embarrassed about this topic, but she answered immediately:
"In the second stage, the source of life requires me to constantly meet my physiological needs. So recently I have been eating whenever I want and sleeping whenever I want, which has caused a lot of trouble for grandma."
Finn suggested:
"It is the nature of life to satisfy physical desires, but remember, we are intellectual humans, and we must not go astray because of the desire to constantly satisfy."
Lindsay waved her hand quickly:
"No, no."
Finn trusted Lindsay very much. He said nothing more and stood up tremblingly:
"Come on, let's start class."
Lindsay quickly stepped forward to help.
The two of them walked into the study room and started today's study.
First, Finn tests Lindsay's knowledge.
Lindsay answered in a coherent and clear way, and could hardly find any questions.
Because after three years of study.
The [Botany] skill he got from Finn has gone through the process of entry-beginner-mastery, and finally to the mastery now.
With the aid of a proficient level of Botany.
Lindsay has complete basic knowledge in this area and can use it flexibly.
Even if you see a completely unfamiliar plant in the wild.
He can also deduce its approximate year of growth, as well as some of its habits and possible uses.
In fact, abilities learned from several other teachers.
Most of Lindsay’s have also broken through to the level of proficiency.
Especially [Common Language], which is used every day and increases experience in small amounts almost every moment. It has become the only ability among all Lindsay's skills that transcends the (Mastery) level and advances to the (Master) level.
Master level [Common Language] skill.
Let Lindsay know all the words in this language, and even understand the various dialects that evolved from the common language!
"Very good, Lindsay."
"As long as you are willing, with the knowledge you have now, it should be easy to awaken the skills of the Life School."
After the test, Finn had a satisfied smile on his face.
But he also lamented that Lindsay still hasn't chosen the school's approach.
Lindsay replied helplessly:
"Teacher, I'm still far away."
Lindsay's attitude seemed to be one of modesty.
But the actual reason is that his life essence has been integrated with the [Gamer's] skills, and it is impossible to awaken other abilities.
Another sefirah of will.
Lindsay has not experienced any emotional ups and downs so far, and naturally has not grown at all.
And according to Hongyue, he doesn't plan to distract himself for the time being. Concentrating on the cultivation of the essence of life is the current focus.
Finn was noncommittal about Lindsay's answer.
He waved his hand and stood up from the chair. Lindsay quickly supported him, and the two of them came to the glass greenhouse in the wooden house.
Several species cultivated here have just begun to sprout.
Finn read out the status of each plant as usual, while Lindsay stood aside, holding a notebook in his hand, writing down, for example, 'healthy growth status', 'hybrid failure of seeds', 'yellowing of false leaves', 'small rhizomes, Lodging easily' and other information were recorded.
Lindsay studied with Finn and also knew that these crops were new cold-resistant crops cultivated.
Thinking of his teacher's methods, he couldn't help but ask:
"Teacher, I remember that you can control the life speed of plants, so that they can quickly go through life and bloom and bear fruit?"
Lindsay's subtext is.
Why don't you use this method to make the plants reproduce quickly, instead of just leaving them alone and letting them grow slowly?
Finn shook his head slowly:
"Kid, pay attention to the process."
“If you blindly search for results, you will inevitably go astray in order to take shortcuts.”
"That kind of hasty method is just a stop-gap measure under special circumstances. Excessive extraction and manipulation of life will actually cause them to lose the brilliance of life they may have originally shown."
Later, Finn gave another example:
"Once in Volcano City, there was a life scholar named Gustin, who cultivated plants with specific needs in just one year in this hasty way. But the result was that the plants he cultivated seemed to be the most The best species, under normal growth conditions, will develop an inherent virality after two days and die soon."
"The plants we cultivate must ultimately be cultivated by ordinary people. We cannot approach this work from the perspective of an awakened person."
After completing their routine inspection of the plants, Finn and Lindsay returned to the front room.
At this moment, the time has reached noon, the sound of rain outside has gradually disappeared, and today's teaching has ended.
Of course Finn also thought about continuing to teach Lindsay in the afternoon after noon.
But his physical strength could not support the whole day's work.
At this time, Lindsay took the initiative to speak to Finn:
"Teacher, can I read here for a while in the afternoon?"
Finn nodded in agreement and said smoothly:
"Also, when you go back tonight, bring something to Ms. Hongyue, saying that I need to discuss the essence of business with her."
Lindsay naturally understood.
Then Finn sat down to rest, while Lindsay picked up the eggs she just picked up from the table and started preparing today's lunch for the two of them.
Now, Lindsay has also added the [Cooking] skill to his attribute panel.
He is no longer the scary character who can even make scones into dark dishes.
Rather, he is a master cook who can make delicious soup in front of the fireplace using simple eggs and flour!
After lunch, Finn rested in bed.
Lindsay walked into the study alone and started what he had been doing for the past three years.
