Chapter 5
The Wood Superpower
Qiao Xuan was wandering about in the yard where she planned to confirm one thing.
There was a loquat tree planted on the side of the yard.
The fruits on the tree, which were still quite green, were starting to turn yellow. They were hanging on the branches. It seemed that the fruits would become ripe and tasty enough in a dozen days.
She walked forward and stretched out her hands. She put her palms on the trunk of the tree that was more than 30 cm thick, gathering her concentration on it. Slowly, the whole tree started to turn greener, as the twigs grew wildly and leaves opened up. For a moment, the fruits on the tree started to turn yellow and ripe, one bunch after another…
Qiao Xuan withdrew her hands instantly, seeing that the effect was far better than she had expected.
The moment she withdrew her hands, the unusual growth of the tree stopped all of a sudden as well.
She looked down at her hands, feeling extremely glad.
She had felt something weird the night before, when she wasn’t in a clear state of mind. In the morning when she was washing herself, she found that the moment she touched the water, a kind of sensational feeling appeared instantly, and within a few moments, some peculiar information emerged and filled up her head.
Only at that moment did she become sure that she had obtained a wood-like superpower.
Wood generated water, so the superpower would become exceptionally strong when she touched water.
Qiao Xuan, who felt as if she had received a new kind of toy, planned to have a try.
At this moment, she saw a bunch of mint leaves which seemed very thin. So she squatted and reached out to the bunch with a slight touch.
That small touch of hers did not cause any changes upon the mint. But when she concentrated and tried to gather a stream of spiritual power into the plant, and had the mint placed in the center of her mind, the bunch started to grow instantly…
She withdrew her hands and was completely sure about her abilities.
She closed her eyes and tried to enjoy her superpower. This ability of hers was not only able to give a boost to plants, but also sensed all kinds of moves around her through the plants, since the roots of those plants were interconnected with each other, underground.
For example, at this moment, when she lightly touched one bunch of mint, she instantly got a clear knowledge of all the grass and woods in the yard, even about the ants in each corner, as if everything was moving right under her eyes.
Therefore, she believed that she was going to have an easy time catching the animals and birds in the mountains!
Also, she could see that the range of her super powerful senses could expand further, as the power became stronger.
That pleased Qiao Xuan thoroughly.
What was more, that superpower had given her an extra space, which was completely barren at the moment and had not opened the access to her. But she knew clearly that there would be one day, when she became qualified enough to enter that place and could make good use of it. But the qualifications which she needed for it were not clearly known to her. Still, she was sure that it was related to her superpower as well.
What she could sense right now was that there seemed to be an extremely advanced system connected in space, through which she was able to find all knowledge related to plants.
Motivated, Qiao Xuan was more certain that she was not going to have a boring life from this moment on. She had a lot to explore, like this superpower of hers.
At around nine or so, the breakfast was ready for the family.
After she finished the tea-serving step, her father-in-law, the elder and second brother as well as Shao Yunduan, all went to the village to work as laborers. At this moment, they just returned home.
It was the spring season, the best season for farming. Hence, all farmers were very busy with farming.
It was a bit cool in the morning, which was the best time for work. All hard-working families would get up early to do some work on farmland to start the day with.
What surprised Qiao Xuan was that Shao Yunduan went down to the farmland and did labor work as well!
Wasn’t he a man who only read books?
Suddenly, she had a nice impression of this man – he seemed like a good person!
