Chapter 5: Wood based Abilities

Qiao Xuan strolled leisurely in the yard, wanting to confirm something.

Next to the yard, there was a loquat tree planted.

The loquats on the tree were just turning yellow from green, hanging in clusters on the branches. In about ten days, they would ripen and turn into a tempting golden yellow.

She approached, gently placing her hand on the trunk of the loquat tree, which was over 30 centimeters in diameter. She concentrated her mind on it, and then, the entire loquat tree visibly became greener, the branches grew, the leaves expanded, and the fruits on the tree instantly turned yellow one after another...

Qiao Xuan didn't expect the effect to be so good, so she quickly withdrew her hand.

The abnormal growth and changes on the loquat tree also instantly stopped.

She looked down at her hand, feeling elated.

Last night, she had a strange feeling, and this morning when she washed her face, she felt a sudden surge of peculiar knowledge as if everything had fallen into place.

At this moment, she was truly certain that she had the ability of wood manipulation.

Wood generates water, so when she touched water earlier, this ability felt particularly clear.

Feeling like she had acquired a new and exciting toy, Qiao Xuan wanted to try again.

Conveniently, there was a clump of thin and weak mint nearby. She squatted down, reached out her hand, and gently touched the mint.

Just by touching it, there was no change in the mint under her hand. Then, as she concentrated her mind and silently controlled a stream of mental power to flow into the mint, the clump of mint immediately began to grow...

She withdrew her hand, completely certain now.

She gently closed her eyes, silently feeling her ability. Not only could she promote the growth of plants, but because the roots of plants are interconnected underground, she could also perceive any movement within a certain range by touching the plants.

For example, at this moment, by lightly touching a sprig of mint, she could clearly know all the movements of the grass and trees in the entire yard, even the whereabouts of an ant in a corner, as if it were right in front of her eyes.

If she were to search for mountain produce or wild animals in the mountains, it would be as easy as pie!

Moreover, the range of this perception could expand as her ability became stronger.

Qiao Xuan was overjoyed.

Not only that, this ability also came with a space. Currently, it was desolate inside and she couldn't enter. But she was clear that in the future, under certain conditions, she should be able to enter and make use of it. As for what the conditions were, she wasn't entirely clear, but it was definitely related to this ability.

Right now, she could only perceive that the space seemed to be connected to an extremely advanced system. Through the system, she could access all the knowledge and information related to plants...

Qiao Xuan was in high spirits. Her days ahead would not be lonely. Just this alone was enough for her to slowly explore.

At around nine o'clock, the family was getting ready for breakfast.

After serving tea, the father-in-law, the elder brother, the second brother, and Shao Yunduan's father and son all went to the fields near the village to work and had just returned.

It was currently spring, a busy time for farming. In the morning, when the weather was cool, it was a good time to work. As long as they weren't lazy, most families would go out early to do some work.

To Qiao Xuan's surprise, Shao Yunduan had also gone to the fields.

Wasn't he a refined scholar? She felt a bit of goodwill towards him, thinking that he was quite nice!
