New function of Spiritual Power

Ram carefully examined the spirit mushrooms that had grown.

The blue caps of the spirit mushrooms glowed faintly, a sign of their potent properties. It took him about 760 points of life energy.

[ Health: 100/100 (1142)]

[ Spiritual Power: 100/100 (+1571)]

Another attribute panel appeared:

[ Name: Spirit Mushroom]

[ Species: Fungus]

[ Tier: 1]

[ Quality: High]

[ Effect: Increases 'Spirit' by 1 point, soothes the mind, aids in spiritual power recovery]

[ Maturity: Fully grown]

Ram grinned. "These will fetch a good price." He roughly calculated and expected to earn about 350 to 400 shadow points as all of them were of high quality.

Satisfied with his progress, Ram packed up his newly grown mushrooms. He didn't forget to collect seeds using one of his skills, Lv1 Seed Collection.

Using this skill didn't cost much spiritual power, but the skill could only be used once in a short time on each mushroom.

He tried to use it multiple times on the same seed, only to find that while the process was successful, the quality of the mushroom decreased from high quality to low.

Every time he successfully extracted the seeds, he earned 1 point of proficiency and used 1 point of spiritual power to perform the skill.

The number of seeds extracted was also random, ranging from 2 to 3. He extracted more than 200 mycelium and stored them in his system's storage space.

[ Skill: Seed Collection Lv1 (69 +/100)]

In the end, proficiency in the skill reached about 69 points.

However, to his surprise, he found a '+' behind the proficiency. Curious, he explored the '+' sign with his thoughts, and a new prompt appeared in front of him.

[Do you want to consume 1 point of Spiritual power to increase the proficiency by 1?]

[Yes/No]

He didn't find this function before. "Is it because I didn't have enough spiritual power before or did I overlook it?" Ram pondered.

He hadn't shown much interest in his skills before because he felt all the skills he got through awakening were basic, and he didn't use them often, so he hadn't noticed this earlier.

He swiftly selected 'No' because he could easily increase the proficiency of basic skills and he also didn't use these skills that much.

Even if Seed Collection reached level 2, it would only increase the number of seeds extracted, which wasn't that useful to him right now.

However, he liked this function more than any other because he had just bought two new immortal techniques useful for spiritual planters.

"If I can use spiritual power to increase proficiency, it can save me a lot of time that I need to spend on practice every day to improve my combat power."

Ram turned his focus to the two techniques he had chosen: the Greenwood Heart Technique and the Thousand Leaf Pinnacle.

He was very eager to see if the function would work on techniques other than basic skills.

He opened the books and began to study the details of each technique. First, he tried the Greenwood Heart Technique.

To his disappointment, he only understood a few details.

Most of the information in the book was related to the Spirit attribute: how to use his spirit to connect with the outside world, how to sense the spiritual plants around him, and various methods to interact with different spiritual plants using his Spiritual awareness, and different ways on how to improve the Spirit attribute, and more.

He understood what they were, but he simply didn't know how to do it. If he were still on Earth, he would feel that the information in this book was simply nonsense.

But here on Blue Star, where humans could gain supernatural abilities, he didn't feel the information was wrong.

So, what was left now was to try the different methods mentioned in the book to learn how to use his spirit to connect with plants to improve his affinity.

If it were before, it would have taken days to get started. However, after he finished reading the book, he found a new skill option on the skill attribute page.

[ Skills]

[ Passive skills: 

 - Low-level Affinity: Plant 11

 - Spiritual Eye] 

[ Active skills:

 - Plant Enhancement -Lv1(12 '+' /100)

 - Seed Collection -Lv1 (69 '+' /100)

 - Rapid Growth -Lv1 (93 '+' /100)] 

[ Immortal Techniques: 

 - Greenwood Heart Technique -Lv1 (0 '+' /100)]

Unexpectedly, just picking up the book and reading it, without even practicing, he unlocked a skill.

The progress bar and plus sign behind the skill meant he could use spiritual power to get started.

However, immortal techniques were really advanced compared to basic skills. Even a basic technique required 100 points to just get started.

Without any hesitation, Ram spent 100 points of spiritual power on the Greenwood Heart Technique.

When the proficiency reached 100, a bang sounded in his head, and Ram felt a warm current surging all over his body.

His spirit seemed very clear, and his thinking became very fast.

Suddenly, many memories related to practicing the Greenwood Heart Technique appeared out of thin air in his mind.

After two or three seconds, the warm current disappeared, giving the impression that it had never existed.

"Spirit seems to have gotten a little bigger?" Ram muttered to himself. He wasn't sure if this was his delusion. "By the way, let me check the attribute panel," his mind moved.

[ Immortal Techniques: 

 - Greenwood Heart Technique: Lv2 (0 '+'/ 1000), Characteristics: Spirit Level 1, Plant Affinity Level 1]

"So, that's how it is. My Spirit attribute really did improve by 1 point." After checking, he soon found that his Spirit attribute had improved.

He also found the reason: the new characteristics of the Greenwood Heart Technique. Curious, he checked what these characteristics were and found their details.
