Time was like a wild donkey, it wouldn't stop running! Little Crane Grass had already stayed in the valley for six years. He was now 13 years old.
But because he ate well and practiced martial arts, as well as having ample natural energy, he looked like a 15 or 16 year old youth.
At the age of 10, Little Crane Grass began to cultivate natural energy. It didn't take long before all the plants in the valley exchanged their natural energy with Little Crane Grass. Because of this, his natural energy wasn't any worse than Hu Xin and the others, it might even be stronger.
Half a year after Little Crane Grass learned the natural energy cultivation method, he finally felt the plant's protection. Then after another half a year, he was finally able to control the plant's protection as he wished. At that time, Little Crane Grass was only 11 years old.
Little Crane Grass also used this time to learn Hu Yuan's Nine Revolutions Ghost Vine. Hu Yuan was both happy and sad about Little Crane Grass's progress. The speed of Little Crane Grass's progress was really beyond his expectations.
Then Hu Yuan began to teach Little Crane Grass how to make mutated seeds. The plants used to make mutated seeds didn't necessarily need to be of high grade. Naturally, the higher the grade of the plant, the more useful it would be to a Plant Master. However, Little Crane Grass was still in the learning stage. Therefore, the mutated seeds he made weren't of high grade. Hu Yuan's main purpose was to let Little Crane Grass know the process of making mutated seeds.
Making mutated seeds involved the use of natural energy, as well as some potions. Mutated seeds needed to mutate the seeds. Ordinary seeds wouldn't be able to mutate. Even if they were left for a long time, the natural energy inside them would slowly disappear. Once the natural energy inside the seed completely disappeared, the seed would be considered dead. At that time, it wouldn't be of any use to the seed anymore.
Using a mutated seed was a very difficult process. First, one had to use potions to prevent the seed's natural energy from disappearing too quickly. Then, one had to concentrate the natural energy into the seed's core and use it to stimulate the seed. This would make the seed's natural energy ten times or even a hundred times more than an ordinary race's. At the same time, one had to make sure that this natural energy didn't disappear by itself. Also, one couldn't let this natural energy suddenly erupt. It had to be controlled properly. Once the seed reached a critical point, it could be stopped. This way, the mutated seed would be ready.
When using a mutated seed, as long as natural energy was injected into the seed and stimulated, the seed would grow rapidly under the support of natural energy. The process from germination to maturity would be shortened to a very short time, and then it would be able to attack the enemy.
The reason why mutated seeds could attack the enemy was because they had been nurtured by natural energy for a long time. Because of this, they had developed a certain level of intelligence, becoming like animals. And the natural energy that stimulated their growth was like a command. They would listen to the command and help the person who gave it to deal with the enemy.
The process of making mutated seeds was very troublesome. But for a Plant Master, the process of making mutated seeds was also a good training opportunity. It would allow one's control of natural energy to become more subtle.
However, ordinary Plant Masters wouldn't make mutated seeds, especially those who didn't have the support of a large family. They didn't have the time to make mutated seeds. When they had the time, they would exchange energy with the plants, cultivate themselves, and communicate with the plants. They had too many things to do, so it was impossible for them to make mutated seeds by themselves. Only people from large families like the Hu Family would make mutated seeds because they had better conditions compared to other Plant Masters.
All the men in the Hu Family had to know how to make mutated seeds, and then the Hu Family would sell these mutated seeds. The Hu Family's mutated seeds were very famous in the Soul World's botanical world. It was also because of these mutated seeds that the Hu Family had such a great reputation in the botanical world.
When Little Crane Grass learned how to make mutated seeds, he suffered a lot. He couldn't control natural energy well. It took a long time for Little Crane Grass to learn how to make mutated seeds.
After learning how to make mutated seeds, Hu Yuan didn't let Little Crane Grass stay in the valley every day. Instead, every once in a while, he would let Hu Ding and the others take Little Crane Grass out to do something. Of course, it wasn't a big matter. Generally, it was a small task for the family, and there wouldn't be any danger.
The reason why Hu Yuan did this was to let Little Crane Grass understand that this world was dangerous and sinister. Therefore, Hu Yuan let Little Crane Grass go out with Hu Ding and the others to do some small tasks.
Hu Yuan's actions were indeed useful. After nearly a year of these small tasks, Little Crane Grass had already understood the degree of danger in this world. The Hu Family looked so glorious on the surface, but in the dark, there were a lot of enemies. These people included some Soul Beast Clans, some Soul Soldier Clans, and even some Soul Plant Clans and Soul Craftsman Clans.
Although the Soul Realm seemed to be peaceful now, the battles between these big clans had never stopped. Battles between the Hu Family and these clans also happened from time to time.
It was also in this year that Little Crane Grass finally learned how to kill people. This was a very important step for Little Crane Grass.
Now that Little Crane Grass was 13 years old, Hu Yuan had nothing to teach Little Crane Grass. In Hu Yuan's view, Little Crane Grass should go out and explore at any time.
On this day, Little Crane Grass arranged those plants and returned to the wooden house. Recently, Little Crane Grass didn't have any tasks, so he still lived in the valley and took care of those plants with Hu Yuan.
When Hu Yuan saw Little Crane Grass coming back, he waved his hand to Little Crane Grass. Little Crane Grass ran to Hu Yuan's side and said, "Grandpa, what's the matter?"
Hu Yuan looked at Little Crane Grass, his eyes were filled with reluctance. However, he was also very clear that if he didn't let Little Crane Grass go, then Little Crane Grass would never be able to grow. Therefore, it was time to let Little Crane Grass fly alone.
Little Crane Grass wasn't a child who didn't know anything. When he saw Hu Yuan's eyes, he knew that something was going to happen. He took a deep breath and looked at Hu Yuan and said, "Grandpa, are you going to let me go out?"
Hu Yuan looked at Little Crane Grass and waved his hand, indicating for him to sit down. Then Hu Yuan sighed and said, "Bao 'er, you're 13 years old. At your age, you shouldn't go out to train. However, you're different from others. When others were your age, they wouldn't have your strength and wouldn't be able to reach your level. Therefore, I decided to let you go out to train. Every Plant Master has to go out by themselves and go to various places in the Soul Realm to train. They have to see what's different about the plants and then find the most suitable weapon for themselves. Every Plant Master has to do this step, and you are the same. Therefore, I'm going to let you go out."
Little Crane Grass had already guessed this point. But now that he heard Hu Yuan, he still felt sour in his heart. He respected Hu Yuan very much. Hu Yuan was like a grandfather who loved him. Now that he was going out to train, he might not be able to come back for a few years. This meant that he wouldn't be able to see Hu Yuan for a few years. This made Little Crane Grass's mood a little down.
Hu Yuan looked at Little Crane Grass and knew what he was thinking. Hu Yuan patted Little Crane Grass's shoulder and said, "Bao 'er, an eagle has to fly alone. If he doesn't leave his family, he will never be able to grow into an eagle. You are an eagle, it's time to fly. Go, the entire world is yours, go fly."
Little Crane Grass looked at Hu Yuan and nodded. He looked at Hu Yuan and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I definitely won't lose face for you and the Hu Clan. Grandpa, do I have any requests for going out to train this time? Or are there any rules? "
Hu Yuan nodded and said, "This is a rite of passage that all adult males of the Hu Clan have to go through. Everyone should take 100 silver coins and go out to train for three years. During these three years, the Hu Clan won't give you any help in missions. Moreover, it's best if you use these three years to find your own weapon."
Little Crane Grass nodded, then he let out a long breath and said, "I've been out for so many years and haven't had many opportunities to go home. I can go back and take a look. Moreover, my home is right next to the Jade Mountain. I can go there and take a look."
When Hu Yuan heard Little Crane Grass, he nodded and said, "Right, you should go back and take a look. You've been out for so many years. Go and pack up, you'll set off tomorrow. Right, this time, the family won't give you a horse, nor will they let you ride a boat."
Little Crane Grass nodded, then he said, "Grandpa, after I leave, you have to take care of yourself."
Hearing Little Crane Grass, Hu Yuan's heart couldn't help but feel warm. He patted Little Crane Grass and smiled, "Rest assured, don't worry about Grandpa. Grandpa is fine now. However, there's something I want to discuss with you. It's about your family. Little Crane Grass, you're now a member of the Hu Clan. Moreover, you've completed several missions with Eighteen and the others. You should know that the Hu Clan has a lot of enemies. Currently, there aren't many people who know about your existence. But once they know about your existence in the future, they will think of ways to deal with you. Your grandparents, father, and mother might become their targets. If they hold them hostage, then what will you do at that time? What do you think? Therefore, I want you to bring your family to the Hu Residence. They can do whatever they want here, and they'll be absolutely safe. What do you think? "
When Little Crane Grass heard Hu Yuan, he couldn't help but frown. Just like Hu Yuan said, the Hu Clan had a lot of enemies. But now, he wasn't famous outside. Once he made a name for himself, people would know that he was a member of the Hu Clan. Then the Hu Clan's enemies would certainly deal with him. If the other party used his grandparents, father, and mother to threaten him, then it would be very troublesome.
But at the same time, Little Crane Grass was also very clear that it wouldn't be easy to make his grandparents and parents leave the Tree Root Village. Their roots were there, and it was difficult for them to leave their homeland. Little Crane Grass couldn't bear to let them leave the place where they lived their whole lives.
