Chapter 2146  Ziran's Abilities

It was Ziran's first tseeing Little Shrubby thus, he couldn't help but be surprised. The swas the case for Min Ju and Elder Hu, but they didn't show much of a reaction.

"Is this your tamed beast?" Ziran asked. "Yes." Lin Mu nodded. "This is little Shrubby." He introduced.

Ziran was feeling a rather pleasant aura from Little Shrubby, and the scould be said for the beast, as Little Shrubby looked at him and tilted his head. He gauged the new person and found him to be different.

"He doesn't smell like a normal human." Little Shrubby said with a little meow. "That's because I'm only half human." Ziran replied, much to everyone's shock.

"Huh?… You can understand him?" Lin Mu was stunned. It was his first tseeing someone other than Xukong and the Saintess understanding Little Shrubby. Xukong was a beast himself. Hence it was obvious why he could understand Little Shrubby, and the Saintess was a celestial, thus it was also not that surprising.

But Ziran was neither.

"Yeah." Ziran said before extending his hand towards Little Shrubby. The beast didn't feel any threat from Ziran, thus let him be. ~tap~tap~

Ziran gently petted Little Shrubby's head, making him purr.

"It's the first time, I've seen someone understand him." Lin Mu spoke. "I suppose it is a bit surprising." Ziran replied. "I just have an advantage when it comes to most beasts." He added.

"How?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Are you using a Qi skill?" Lady Kang asked. "It doesn't seem like it though." She wondered too.

"It's not a Qi skill exactly. It's more of a bloodline ability." Ziran answered. "I was born with it." He revealed.

"Born with it… Your elf blood?" Lin Mu guessed.

"Indeed. Though more specifically, it's the Wood Elf Bloodline." Ziran answered. "Wood Elves have a close relation with the forests, which also gives us a natural affinity to beasts. The Wood elf race often collaborates with beasts and live in harmony with them. The ability to understand is something that sof them naturally obtain.

While the Wood Elf bloodline inis only a quarter, it still managed to givethat ability." He explained.

"No wonder… It is certainly a good ability to have," Lin Mu replied.

"Does that apply to all beasts?" Lady Kang asked with interest.

She had her own Tamed beast and could communicate with them, but it was more of an understanding of thoughts rather than actual words being spoken. Thus, it interested her quite a bit to see it being used in such a way.

"Well, it certainly does not apply to all beasts." Ziran answered. "The beasts need to have a certain level of intelligence for it to work. Though there are still sexceptions to it such as srare beasts and those with unknown mutations that the bloodline ability cannot understand. And of course, there's always beasts that simply refuse to talk." He explained.

It was certainly very interesting to Lin Mu, as even he could only talk to the beasts he had tamed. If he needed to talk to other beasts, he would have to rely on Little Shrubby so far. 'I wonder if the Nurturing Heart Sutra can help with that.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'I've only reached its second stage after all,' he reckoned.

Since the Nurturing Heart Sutra was of the beast path and could generate Beast Qi, Lin Mu hoped that it could help him in understanding the beasts too. But unfortunately, he hadn't been able to progress it any further. It wasn't something he could force and would have to wait for the right moment to appear.

'If it could really take that path, I might have more options in dealing with beasts.' Lin Mu reckoned. He did feel good that Ziran's ability had given him a clue as to how the Nurturing Heart Sutra could progress.

"Anyway, Little Shrubby, can you smell what's up with the pig fat?" Lin Mu requested.

"Okay~" Little Shrubby said before taking a few sniffs. "There's something more in the oil." Little Shrubby realized.

"Poison?" It was the first thing Lin Mu could think of. "It's not poison." Little Shrubby replied. "The pig fat itself is only a small amount of the oil… the actual oil is something else," He said before jumping off Lin Mu's shoulder.

In the next second, he enlarged to the size of a large tiger. He didn't take his full size, since it was not possible in this hall which wasn't that tall.

~SHUA~

"Hoho… Vitality Reversal!" Ziran exclaimed. "I never thought I'd see it in a beast again." "You can recognize it too?" Lin Mu raised his brows.

"Of course! I have a Wood Dao embryo. there is no way I wouldn't be able to recognize Vitality Reversal which is very close to my own Dao Skill." He revealed before tapping his chest.

~SHUA~

In the next moment, a small sphere flew out of his chest before it uncovered to reveal a small sapling.

It was barely the size of a child's hand and had two small leaves on it. Its stalk was slender and supple, having a greenish brown color, while its leaves were bright green instead. And on its top, a small bud could be seen that looked like it could grow more leaves.

The sapling's roots though were encased in a pot like object which Lin Mu identified to be nothing but a Dao Shell!

'He shaped his Dao Shell to beca flower pot?' Lin Mu was seeing something like this for the first time. 'And that sapling… What kind of Dao Embryo is it?' he wondered.

~SHUA~

When the Dao Embryo appeared, a reaction was elicited from Little Shrubby. The leaf pattern behind his ears glowed brightly, while Wood Dao Traces swirled around his body.

"This is the Nascent Life Sapling Dao Embryo." Ziran revealed.

It was Lin Mu's first thearing about this Dao Embryo, though Lady Kang looked at it with raised brows.
