BXBX NOVEL Chapter 102 - 75 Being Worshiped, Can Eat too Buns (Seeking Recommendations)
“Takealook at this!”
With a smile, Bailuo picked up the Initial Sprout Holy Pouch and with a flick of his hand, the splendid pouch appeared in front of Uncle.
“What a dazzling treasure.”
Even Uncle was captivated by the new pouch, but after a brief moment, he regained his composure.
The Initial Sprout Holy Pouch had evolved into the Seed-covering Cloth, but Bailuo still liked to call it a pouch.
The evolution was miraculous, purely a functional change; its essential Level would not alter—Least Tier, Lower Tier, Middle Tier, they weren’t just simple rankings.
What about its ability? Has it become stronger?”
Bailuo admired Uncle’s calmness.
He recounted the pouch’s abilities and Uncle slapped the table, “Good! With this, the agriculture of our Yatun is now completely fulfilled.”
Although it was nice to have food, some crops had a wide range of uses in other domains.
For instance, cotton, hemp, tobacco, as well as tea and most medicinal herbs. The original Initial Sprout Holy Pouch couldn’t produce these things.
Bailuo wasn’t sure why; he had drunk tea and herbal medicine, but there were many things the seeds of which Bailuo couldn’t produce.
Perhaps these items weren’t considered ‘food’ or ‘seasoning1.
But now, the evolved ‘Seed-covering Cloth’ no longer required ingestion; an encounter or even knowledge of the item was enough to bring it forth. Moreover, it wasn’t limited to seeds; mature stems, roots, leaves, flowers-as long as it was part of a plant, it could be produced.
Of course, it could only produce ordinary crops; Bailuo had tried producing all sorts of inexplicable things, like those invented in entertainment works, but none were successful.
Yes, with its power, we won’t have to worry about agriculture anymore.” In the short term, the powers of the Initial Sprout Holy Pouch and the Seed-covering Cloth might not manifest, but in the long run…
No, if the Mysterious Dragon granted Bailuo a few more gifts like this, Yatun would immediately skip the accumulation stage and become an agricultural powerhouse.
Bailuo was happy, and so was Uncle.
Bai Yino didn’t understand very well, but being happy was the right response:
‘Sister Inya once said, when unsure, a silly smile is never wrong.’
“Hmm?”
Arriving in the courtyard, Bailuo noticed Uncle had been splitting wood and was puzzled, asking subconsciously, “Why don’t you ask Lilith for help?” Miracles, though powerful, can be too convenient, which isn’t always a good thing.”
Hearing Uncle’s words, Bailuo thought of yesterday’s state brought on by the Mysterious Dragon’s miracle, compounded by the previous pouch evolution, which made his happiness double.
“You are right.”
With a sigh, Bailuo realized he and the People of Yatun had indeed become a bit arrogant: “I’ve been a little arrogant.”
“With such a great miracle, of course, it’s normal to be proud, but one should not overdo it.”
Uncle was always the most clear-headed.
Even if the entire Yatun became muddled, he would keep his cool and then lead everyone to the right path.
“Yesterday, I indeed got a bit carried away.”
Bailuo was embarrassed but quickly recovered to his usual self and dove into work: “By the way, how are the Tree Elves’ Descendants doing?” “After awakening, they’re completely immune to alcohol, so I asked them to keep watch for everyone at night.”
Uncle held no official position in Yatun, but everyone respected him greatly. Moreover, with his wisdom, combined with Bailuo’s trust, Uncle was the perfect steward for Yatun in Bailuo’s absence.
His sister was naturally capable too, but she was overly indulgent towards Bailuo.
Uncle had also told her that this indulgence could make her lose her calm and even act on impulse.
But Bailuo was her Achilles’ heel and bottom line.
That was the one thing she truly couldn’t change.
“Right.”
Uncle had told Bailuo about how Bai Yino had no reaction to the Mysterious Dragon’s power during the shamanic ritual yesterday.
“Is that so?”
Bailuo found it quite magical, as he had spent no short amount of time with Bai Yino.
Every night, the girl would cuddle up with Inya and sleep with Bailuo, just a wall’s distance away.
Yet, Bailuo hadn’t noticed that Bai Yino possessed such powers.
“I’ve thought it over for a long time and regretfully, I still haven’t made any significant discoveries.”
Bai Yino had indeed become a puzzle for Uncle, but he felt it could potentially become a breakthrough in unlocking Bai Yino’s Miracle Power: “I will continue to pay attention to see exactly what’s going on.”
Bai Yino: “Ami very special?”
“Of course!”
Bailuo stroked the girl’s head, laughing as he said, “You are our Yadun’s treasure, naturally the most special.”
For Bai Yino, Bailuo’s principle was to be fully caring, tender in everyway possible.
However, those were just the superficial aspects; to truly help a child grow, one must help them acquire skills and gain formidable strength.
This was not only a demand of the People of Yatun but also a necessary path for
Bai Yino to become strong physically and mentally.
“Don’t worry, Xiao Bai, you will soon become powerful,” Bailuo said in the tone one would use with a ten-year-old child, “and then, everyone will praise you.” “Ohh ohh ohh.”
Bai Yino, somewhat influenced by Inya, had also become part of the ‘everyone’s expectations’ crowd.
Inya: Being admired is like eating a hundred steamed buns.
Bai Yino (amazed): Being admired means you can eat a hundred steamed buns!
“What about the Tree Elves?”
Bailuo asked, “How are they doing? Have they all controlled their powers?”
“I’m not doing a competent job as their leader,” Bailuo said, “Such an important matter, and I’ve delayed it until now.”
But yesterday was indeed too joyous, and the Tree Elves were also immersed in happiness, temporarily forgetting their abilities.
The Tree Elves have all awakened, and they’ve become much stronger.”
Uncle spoke with a smile about the situation of the Tree Elves: “Previously, one on one, the People of Yatun might have had a chance to defeat a Tree Elf Descendant.”
“But now, even if five or six gang up, they probably can’t defeat a single Tree Elf.”??? 5
Bailuo slept until the sun was high in the sky, and Uncle had everyone not disturb him, while he himself arranged for the Tree Elves to test their strength.
“And this is against Tree Elves who haven’t yet fully controlled their own power.”
Uncle said, “If they could fully master this strength, no, even if they just master a part of it, the gap would widen even more.”
Tree Elves have four states: Treefolk have immense strength, Tree Spirits exist between the ethereal and the real, immune to most physical attacks, and Tree Sprites can control trees and animals to fight, offering a variety of tactics.”
Even in their Elf state, their strength and agility far surpass those of Yatun’s people.”
Uncle commented, “They are simply a perfect race-in combat and defense, close-quarters and magic.”
The most outrageous part is that they can even heal themselves!
“Tree Elves have no vital points, only the Life Force.”
If a Tree Elf’s limbs are chopped off, they can use their Life Force to grow them back quickly, and even their heads can do the same.”
“What?”
Bailuo: “Their heads can grow back too?”
“This is what Brother Andrew read from ancient texts.”
Uncle just put it that way, but real tests would have to wait for the battlefield because no one dares to gamble with their life in jest: “To defeat a Tree Elf, one must repeatedly inflict damage on them, depleting their Life Force.” “However, Tree Elves aren’t like Sherri or Lilith; the Miracle Power within them is limited, so they’re not invincible.”
“Once their Miracle Power is exhausted and can’t be converted into Life Force,
Tree Elves can be killed just the same.”
