197: Chapter 179: Court Gardener in the Palm 197: Chapter 179: Court Gardener in the Palm “Chris, what just happened?” Lu Ping’an was feeling confused as he seemed to have heard Chris’s voice. “…Your pollution resistance is too high. Normally, reaching 2-tier only requires a touch of the divinity, and you would naturally detach from it. You actually resisted until you saw the appearance of a deity, even if it was just an avatar, it’s not something you should be able to glimpse at right now.” The big cat was also baffled; this was a completely unexpected development. Why would stepping into the 2-tier lead to a deep connection with the deity’s avatar? This treatment was usually reserved for those at the fourth-tier or even higher. It could be overlooked if it were just a fleeting connection, which would normally break off in an instant, like someone signing an “acknowledged” on a document. However, Lu Ping’an had entered the “Body of Ten Thousand Spirits” prematurely and had access to the “Life Bank”, which deepened the connection and dragged it to the level of a two-way link. What’s worse, his overly strong pollution resistance almost allowed him to withstand a “direct confrontation with the deity”, which is usually required at the sixth to seventh-tier level. “I almost got killed?” Lu Ping’an didn’t understand; he only felt his condition was terrible. He couldn’t move as if he had lost control of his body, but his spirit was extremely active. This feeling was like his soul was about to break free from its shell. It wasn’t necessarily bad, but it wasn’t good either. “Not necessarily, this deity seemed to be quite friendly. However, if you had established a deep connection, you might have to lie down for three months…but there should be some benefits too, you should check it out.” The big cat was not confident either; this kind of thing was too rare. But then again, would a normal 1-tier professional have a rule-level talent ability? Would it be possible to awaken the Body of Ten Thousand Spirits at 1-tier? This development seemed normal. “…When I have time, I’ll tell you how to deal with high-level beings. I originally thought you wouldn’t need to know until the fourth-fifth tier, but you need to know some ‘common senses’.” However, Lu Ping’an didn’t respond. He was only staring at the contents of the system panel, so much to take in. 0-tier was just a greeting, 1-tier was an entry-level newcomer, and 2-tier… this is the end goal for most professionals, but it also means transitioning from an average development to a specialized profession path. [Ding, congratulations to the host, the inauguration ceremony is 200% complete, rated perfect, awarded ‘Divine Grace,’ please check it yourself.] [Court Gardener (2-tier Gardener) profession modifier: A slight increase in physique, a slight increase in reflex, and a large increase in spirit.] This was the first time Lu Ping’an saw a prompt of a “significantly increased” basic attribute. No wonder his spirit was much more active. [Professional Skill ‘Planting (Taboo) LV7,’ transformed into Professional Skill ‘Nursery Constructor LV7.’] [Universal Skill ‘Grafting (Pollution) LV7,’ transformed into Professional Skill ‘Spirit Plant Breeder LV7.’] The names of the two core professional skills have changed, but the contents haven’t. In fact, most advanced practitioners would only have professional abilities and not even know that their core skills have been “renamed” due to the influence of divine power at the rule level. Lu Ping’an glanced over it and didn’t pay much attention, continuing to refer to them as “grafting” and “planting”, just like the runners’ two professional skills. It’s the same old thing. The main difference is that a specific ability unique to a certain path will designate a particular professional skill as its basis, just as a deity dyed it with their own specific power. Of course, if you were to take on another 2-tier Gardener profession, you would be able to dye it again, and one ability could be both “lightning running technique” and “fiery running technique”. The differences are in the details, but there is no substantial difference in the names alone. As with 1-tier and zero-order, success in advancement merely helps you open a door, and you’ll need to fill it with whatever you choose. “First of all, naturally, it’s the core professional ability of Court Gardener, Bonsai Creation.” [Black-iron level spell Bonsai Creation: Create a space scene with plants as the main theme on a piece of polluted material.] [Usage requirements: 2-tier Bonsai Designer (Court Gardener), Spatial Perception LV7, Bonsai Manufacturing Experience 100/100.] The requirements for this core ability are simple, and Lu Ping’an can meet them as he is now. He promptly lit it up. After that, he took out an oil painting prepared by Brother Guan as “bonsai materials.” Touching the oil painting, Lu Ping’an felt he could activate the ability at any time, but he didn’t rush. After reaching the 2-tier level, the upper limit of his investment ability had increased again. If everything went well, he should also be able to invest in third-tier magic plants and recover their Life Essence modules for the creation of “new magic plants.” This also meant that the magic plants in Lu Ping’an’s hands would need to be reorganized and enhanced, which would take some time and experimentation. “There’s no time. According to the design requirements of the ‘work,’ I need to proactively create a few suitable combat-oriented magic plants.” Since they were painting and sculpting, the materials in their hands naturally had to be in the best possible condition. Lu Ping’an could foresee that he would need to pull several all-nighters. In addition to that, the other core ability “Landscape Repair” conditions were not high and only required two core skills at level 7. It seemed like they were giving it away, and Lu Ping’an lit that up as well. These were all expected gains, but the unexpected surprises still appeared on his panel. [Giant in Hand (Brass, upper divine blessing): People describe those in power as able to turn clouds with their hands and cover rain. However, immortals keep the clouds and rain within their sleeves. Designate one of your magic plants in your ‘scene’ (small world) and briefly enlarge it (up to three times in size, for a maximum of three minutes).] [This ability belongs to Divine Blessing, has extremely high priority, but can only be used three times a day. Must plant a fruit tree after using it ten times; otherwise, the body will turn into a tree within three days.] [Note: This ability is part of the fragment combination of the high-tier abnormal ability universe in the sleeves (tier unknown). Collect enough fragments to perfect and evolve this ability.] [Usage prerequisite: Hand hid in the sleeve, flip hand and pinch seal seven times, specifics as follows:…] This was an unexpected surprise both within and beyond reason. When Lu Ping’an first succeeded in securing the “Gardener” profession, he had also received the Lady of the Forest’s blessing. However, this time, the Pavilion Master gave a lot more help. The reason for the reward might be due to the high completion rate of the ceremony. “… Now that I have this, I can redesign my ‘scene.’ Yes, I need to adjust the focus of the new third-tier magic plants.” By this point, Lu Ping’an, as a combat-series Gardener, had a standard configuration of combat abilities. At the same time, he also unlocked several universal Gardener profession abilities, some of which could be used for farming while others could be used for actual combat. However, these were still just surprises within the Gardener category, and Lu Ping’an’s most anticipated “gift” was unlocked at this moment. [Ding, congratulations to the host for entering the 2-tier stage. The Hidden World Courtyard is entering an evolution and adjustment period. After the adjustment is completed, the ‘Life Bank’ will unlock the following new functions…]
