"This is?"

At first glance, Zhang Chaoqiang, who arrived at the hall, was immediately attracted.

"This is a purple-level spiritual plant. Its scientific name is the natural luminous agarwood species Xuanmu branch. We usually call it the Guangxuan branch."

"The Guangxuan branch?"

Zhang Chaoqiang stepped forward to take a look. Just as its name suggests, this spiritual plant was not much different from an ordinary branch. It had many branches, but no leaves on them.

The most obvious difference between this and ordinary branches is that the current Guangxuan branches can glow by themselves.

And you can clearly see the texture and details of the trees, which are clearly visible under the yellow light.

This light does not seem to be the effect of spiritual power. It is fundamentally different from the ordinary monster crystal core or the artificial crystal core that he is now in contact with and proficient in.

That kind of pure light is completely different from the light representing spiritual power in the crystal core.

Moreover, as a rare purple-level spiritual plant ranked in the third echelon on Earth, it already represents its value.

Therefore, in the current situation, Zhang Chaoqiang couldn't resist his curiosity and leaned over to take a closer look.

He observed, and through the natural and soft light emanating from the Guangxuan branch, he took the most careful look at the entire branch itself.

The branch seemed to have life just like humans. Perhaps it sensed the approach of other creatures, and the Guangxuan branch cunningly dimmed its own light.

Huh? Is this still possible?

Zhang Chaoqiang believed that this should have triggered the self-protection mechanism of the spiritual plants. It was rumored that the spiritual plants had gone through countless rings between heaven and earth, and were nourished by the spiritual power of heaven and earth. It took a long time for them to condense or transform.

After experiencing the erosion of time and under the test of survival, the higher and rarer the spiritual plants are, the stronger their "anthropomorphism", that is, wisdom, will be.

The spiritual plants that have evolved over time have the same protective mechanisms to ensure that they can survive successfully in nature.

Sometimes, it's not okay to be cunning.

Just as Zhang Chaoqiang took another step forward, the branches of the Guangxuan tree, which had originally dimmed a bit, became even dimmer again.

When the two were two meters apart, the Guangxuan tree branch had gradually dimmed from its original dazzling but easy-going and obvious yellow light, as if the person in front of Zhang Chaoqiang was not...

The so-called Guangxuan branch is just a branch that is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary.

And the magic just contained in it gradually lost any effect.

Zhang Chaoqiang took another step forward, and the light tree branch actually dimmed again. This dimming was not just a change in color, but a change between reality and illusion...

In other words, the change in distance can not only make the branches of the Guangxuan tree change from glowing and dimming, but also make it move between the physical state and the illusory state.

Zhang Chao took a powerful step forward until he reached the Guangxuan tree branch, but at this moment...

Where is the Guangxuan branch in front of Zhang Chaoqiang?
It has turned into nothingness. Even when Zhang Chaoqiang reached out to grab the thousand-year-old agarwood where the Guangxuan branches were originally placed, he only grabbed air.

Interesting, really interesting...

Zhang Chaoqiang adjusted his position back and forth. The farther he was from the branches of the Guangxuan tree, the branches gradually changed from their original nothingness to a substantial state and shape.

Then, as it got farther and farther away, the branches went from not emitting any light to emitting a faint yellow light, and finally returned to the light that Zhang Chaoqiang had emitted when he first saw it...

Interesting, very interesting, the self-protection of Guangxuan tree branches is so interesting?
Zhang Chaoqiang commented on this habit: "This can effectively block those monsters that want to attack the branches of Guangxuan Tree..."

While he was observing the branch of the Guangxuan tree in front of him more carefully, Bai Lu and Huang Feng began to introduce the origins of the branch of the Guangxuan tree.

First of all, this thing was discovered by a colleague from the Monster Investigation Bureau when he was dealing with a monster incident on the northern border between humans and monsters...

He sneaked into the monster's territory and was lucky enough to kill some small monsters along the way. Just when he discovered the so-called strange beast incident...

It's just that some powerful monsters often come to the border between humans and monsters to cause trouble...

He began to plan to return.

However, he happened to be in the lair of those powerful monsters...

"I found a tree trunk called agarwood. This agarwood tree emits a special fragrance. It is safe and suitable for nourishing the spirit. It is also a rare white spiritual plant...

And on the branches of the agarwood, I found a piece of paper that glowed by itself!"

"Immediately, I found this spiritual plant called Guangxuan Tree Branch in the spiritual plant atlas passed down by our ancestors!"

"The Guangxuan tree branch can improve the living environment of humans and monsters. In other words, all creatures that are in the growth stage and have spirituality and live under the light of the Guangxuan tree branch can promote their physical development and physical strength!"

“Although this cannot be achieved overnight, according to our investigators’ exploration, those monsters are in the development stage.

You are familiar with the two kinds of monsters, the red-eyed porcupine and the iron-skinned beast pig. Generally, monsters of this type that are thirty years old are about the same age as your classmate Zhang Chaoqiang, and are in the growth and development stage.

The two monsters at this stage were supposed to be about two meters in size and weighed about five tons...

However, under the light of the Guangxuan tree branches, their growth and physical strength were promoted during their growth period...

Therefore, when they were discovered, they had grown to three meters and weighed about eight tons!"

"They have raised their physique by an order of magnitude! As second-level monsters, even if they fight against third-level monsters, with their abilities, it won't be a difficult task!"

"so smart?"

After Huang Feng and Bai Lu's introduction, Zhang Chaoqiang finally understood how valuable the Guangxuan branch in front of him was.

And what made him most excited and surprised was that, wasn't it his weak body that had been bothering him all along?
At the moment, the ability and efficacy of the Guangxuan tree branch can, to some extent, have a significant promoting effect on his physical body, which can really improve Zhang Chaoqiang's mood to an extreme level! As for the details of the Guangxuan tree branch, Bai Lu and the others have basically finished explaining it.

Most importantly, they told Zhang Chaoqiang that this special spiritual plant, the Guangxuan tree branch, only works on spiritual creatures that are in the growth stage!

Bai Lu also emphasized one point: "Pay attention to spiritual creatures in the growth stage, that is, humans or monsters that have obvious spiritual power in their bodies.

Because only creatures that have spiritual energy flowing through their bodies, whether they are warriors or monsters, will secrete a substance scientifically named growth enzyme during their growth period. "

"This substance is a growth hormone produced by growing organisms through their own physical development and the circulation of spiritual energy in their bodies.

Growth enzymes are a substance that is produced all the time in humans or monsters that are in their growth stages."

"This is also an enzyme molecule that plays a big role in promoting our development during puberty and increasing our spiritual power and other abilities."

"The light emitted by the Guangxuan tree branches can react with the growth enzyme emitted by spiritual creatures, thereby forming a hormone substance called "growth-promoting enzyme."

This can maximize the improvement of physical development during the growth period!

Therefore, the Guangxuan tree branch mainly acts on the strength of the physical body and has little to do with spiritual power! "

At this point, Zhang Chaoqiang has become more interested in the Guangxuan tree branch than at the beginning.

His only weakness was his physical body. If his physical body was used up, then the amount of spiritual energy he could hold would be greatly reduced...

When combined with martial arts, the power of physical attacks after spiritual power will undergo a further transformation!

This is really unpleasant!

But there is one more thing that makes Zhang Chaoqiang interested and puzzled...

"Since the light of this light tree branch will dim and decrease sharply when approached, and even turn from substantial to nothingness...

Doesn't this mean that it cannot be touched or held at close range? How did the uncles bring it back?

Could it be that... there is a clue in the agarwood that supports it?"

With a dong sound, Bai Lu Huang Feng snapped his fingers at Zhang Chaoqiang and the branches of the Guangxuan tree in front of him.

This reaction just means that Zhang Chaoqiang's previous guess was completely correct.

"You guessed correctly. The secret to bringing back the Guangxuan branch lies in the agarwood stand underneath it that supports the Guangxuan branch!"

Then, Huang Feng and the others began to introduce that the Guangxuan tree branch was actually in a mutated state.

The original form of the Guangxuan branch is actually the so-called white rarity grade agarwood tree.

Through some kind of genetic mutation, only one agarwood tree out of 100,000 will mutate.

This mutation does not refer to the mutation of the original genes of the entire tree trunk, but rather the result of long-term erosion of time, perhaps due to some geographical reasons?
Maybe it's because of the climate and the monsters living around...

There is usually a very small chance that the agarwood tree will mutate on a certain branch and grow a Guangxuan branch.

Therefore, if you need to move the Guangxuan branch, you must take away the base agarwood branch that supports the entire Guangxuan branch!
When Zhang Chaoqiang heard their explanation, he raised his eyebrows, then nodded and said, "It turns out that the agarwood base underneath it is not specially used to support it, but grows together with the Guangxuan branch...

No, if we use the term "special support", it is not impossible. After all, this Guangxuan branch can only mutate through agarwood, and can only grow on agarwood!"

Zhang Chaoqiang approached the branch of Guangxuan tree, and the light of the branch and the main body of Guangxuan tree disappeared in an instant, and only the agarwood base underneath it remained.

Zhang Chaoqiang moved the light agarwood base to another platform, and then distanced his body from the branches of the Guangxuan tree.

Then, the shape and light of the Guangxuan tree branch reappeared on the agarwood base from nothingness!
All of a sudden, Zhang Chaoqiang felt the new world again, and he could feel that his body was warm and comfortable under the shining branches of the Guangxuan tree.

I believe that if this goes on for a long time, the three-dimensional index of my body will be improved because of the Guangxuan tree branch!

"Student Zhang Chaoqiang, from now on, this plant will only grow in the demon beast area. I'm afraid there won't be another purple-grade special spiritual plant in the entire Central Country. I'll give it to you as a welcome gift and to thank you for your great contribution to the Investigation Bureau last time...

Officially presented to you! "

Zhang Chaoqiang nodded, bowed, thanked him, and then solemnly placed it in his space ring.

In this regard, Bai Lu and Huang Feng also completed their donation tasks this time.

The main thing is that Zhang Chaoqiang had previously agreed to join the Exotic Beast Investigation Bureau, which really made everyone in the bureau very happy.

Nearly 60% of the reasons are because the Investigation Bureau has welcomed a future mainstay, and the remaining 40% is, of course, because they will receive special grant rewards from the central government!
Their original intention was to obtain more construction funds by relying on Zhang Chaoqiang's joining.

Ever since they informed the Central State Council of the news, the process of allocating funds has slowly started to move.

At the earliest, the money will be available by the end of the year. It is a huge sum of money, enough to allow the entire investigation bureau to not have to worry about any funding for the next few decades.

So, this time the investigation bureau meant to celebrate Zhang Chaoqiang's future joining their big family and for helping them before...

The rather tricky issue of fat stealing has been solved.

This Guangxuan tree branch, this unique Guangxuan tree branch tailor-made for Zhang Chaoqiang, is a gift for him.

And this is a preliminary gift. After the funds are allocated, there will be even more exciting gifts waiting for Zhang Chaoqiang.

"Huh? I didn't expect that the quality of your space ring, Zhang Chaoqiang, is not low. It can store spiritual plants with spiritual vitality?"

Zhang Chaoqiang nodded and introduced that this was a high-level space ring distributed by Tianan City as a mission reward. At least for the next period of time, he would not have to worry about storage.

"Let's go to the exotic beast storage room to see the investigators' absorption dynamics. It's a good opportunity for you, Zhang Chaoqiang, to learn about the entire investigation record of the Investigation Bureau!" (End of this chapter)
