Chapter 435: 360 Chapter 435: 360 After stepping into the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Cauldron Immortal Technique revealed even more marvelous aspects, one of which was the condensation of a mysterious green liquid during cultivation. This liquid appeared utterly devoid of any fluctuations in Spiritual Power, and his Spirit Perception could not detect anything special about it either. The brief bamboo scroll from Han Tianzun did not provide a clear explanation about this liquid, only suggesting that it might have extraordinary effects when used on plants.

Nevertheless, Lancelot’s intuition still told him that this substance was nothing ordinary; thus, he always carefully collected these liquids, even though a whole night of cultivation yielded only a drop, and by now, he had accumulated nearly half a bottle. He had always wanted to test out the true purpose of these green liquids, so during his time in Androlina, he collected a massive number of plant seeds, some of which were rare varieties Finier had helped him obtain from the Wild Expanse.

Before that, however, he needed to clear the ‘weeds’ in the yard. This task was far more difficult than it sounded, as Twin Bridges Town after all was a town located in the Abyss, and the plants here–especially those that grew from the ground on their own–naturally differed in appearance from those on the Prime Material Plane.

The difference was aggressively apparent.

The thorns Lancelot was familiar with were a common type of small shrub found in the wild, usually not growing taller than two feet, featuring some annoying little spikes that prevented small animals from nibbling on them, at most only capable of scratching exposed skin. But the ones growing in his estate’s courtyard were definitely something else: these oversized bushes stood over four feet tall, their vine-like stems, thick as arms, tangled together, topped with lush black leaves.

The leaves were both sleek and hard, their edges shimmering with a chilling light, likely sharp enough to cut through even poor-quality leather, requiring one to wear full plate armor to pass through unscathed. This plant had an unsettling name: Razor Vine, one of the most common plants–and a common anti-theft measure–of the lower planes.

For the average person, clearing these tough plants without injury was impossible, but for Lancelot, this wasn’t much of an issue–his Qingyun Sword Art was a Wood Attribute cultivation technique, which always performed well against plants and stones. The only consideration was which tool to use.

The Giant Sword Glacier was obviously too cumbersome and much of its blade was unsharpened; the Hand Half Sword Frostslash was a bit better, but using it for horticultural tasks still felt somewhat excessive. After some thought, Lancelot finally drew out the One-Handed Sword Starlight Strike–with its sharpness, he could complete the task without even needing to employ the Qingyuan Sword Technique.

Speaking of which, this Divine Artifact had really seen poor treatment; since Lancelot acquired it, both times it saw use were as a tool rather than a weapon. If the Treasured Sword had sentience, it probably would have cursed Lancelot for not appreciating it, for not letting it drink the blood of Fiends, and for the indignities heaped upon it by a Human Knight.

Fortunately, the sword couldn’t speak, so Lancelot completed the task very efficiently. The cut Razor Vines quickly became dry and hard, as if they had lost all their moisture in an instant. Lancelot casually flicked out two small Fireballs, cleanly burning them away.

Lancelot then summoned a large number of vines, thoroughly turning over the soil in the yard to ensure no roots of the Razor Vine remained, before finally scattering the seeds. For experimental purposes, he planted flower seeds obtained from the Grand Garden of Melanthan Manor, one of his favorite places to visit in Androlina.

After planting the seeds, Lancelot ran to his room, ignoring the Elves’ protests, and fetched a large bucket of water from the bathroom. After some thought, he took out the small vial containing the mysterious green liquid and poured three drops into the bucket. Then he placed his hands on the edges of the wooden bucket, and under the control of True Yuan, the water inside began to rotate on its own, allowing the mysterious liquid to be fully diluted.

All preparations were complete, Lancelot took a deep breath as the True Yuan he released into his hands shifted dramatically, sending streams of water flying uniformly from the barrel, sprinkling them across the small courtyard.

It must be admitted that the Human Knight had absolutely no experience in planting. If the diluted mysterious green liquid didn’t have some special effect, those seeds would most likely be wasted, and he was already prepared for that outcome mentally.

After pouring out an entire barrel of water, it seemed as if nothing had happened. Lancelot couldn’t help but wonder if the green liquid had lost its effectiveness after being diluted.

Just as he doubted that the experiment had failed, the ground suddenly began to churn as if countless moles were nesting underground. A few moments later, a multitude of green sprouts shot up like swords piercing through the soil, growing and maturing at a pace visible to the naked eye, bursting into blooms of angry flowers.

Under the influence of the diluted mysterious green liquid, these flowers thrived exceptionally well. In an instant, the yard transformed into a riot of colors, brimming with purples and reds, making Lancelot feel as though he had returned to Androlina, immersed in the deepest part of the mesmerizing Grand Garden at Melanthan Manor.

Just as Lancelot was about to rejoice at the scene before him, an unexpected transformation occurred. The flowers did not remain in their blooming state but continued to develop: vibrant petals fell one by one, and the bulbs at the base of the stamens swelled rapidly, forming heavy fruits that fell to the ground.

Soon, some of the plants withered completely, as if they had experienced a year’s time in less than a minute, leaving behind colorful fruits on the ground. The remaining plants quickly bloomed and bore fruit again, but after repeating the process several times, they too reached the limits of their lifespan.

Only a few plants never withered; they kept growing and repeating the blooming process again and again, until after the tenth bloom, this accelerated growth finally began to slow down, eventually stabilizing in a blooming state.

Suppressing his excitement, Lancelot formed a Dharma Decree, and instantly, countless thin vines emerged from the ground, acting like tentacles, gathering the fruits fallen on the ground before him.

Ever since he discovered that the technique used to manipulate Sword Shadows could be applied to controlling vines, and that it also helped to enhance his Divine Sense, he had practiced this skill frequently. With the strength of his Divine Sense improving, Lancelot was now capable of controlling ten vines at once, each as agile as his own fingers.

Undoubtedly, this was an extremely practical skill, crucial in determining the outcome in certain special situations.

The fruits appeared completely normal; Lancelot casually picked one up and threw it into his mouth, finding it pleasantly sweet and delicious. He then moved towards the plants that were still blooming, confirming there were no anomalies, and they looked identical to those in Melanthan Manor that had grown for ten years.
