Thorn Spire Vine
Ram pondered this as he sat in his new room. "It's not just about knowing plants," he thought. "It's about understanding their needs, how they interact with the world, and how to use spiritual energy to help them grow." The profession of a Spiritual Planter requires a delicate balance of knowledge in botany, spiritual energy manipulation, and an understanding of the relationships between plants and their environment.
"The process of cultivating spiritual plants is indeed time-consuming," Ram muttered, reflecting on his unique advantage with the Life Energy attribute. "With Life Energy, I can infuse plants with a life force that accelerates their growth and enhances their strength."
As he delved deeper into these thoughts, Ram saw a potential path that merged his unique talents with the world of spiritual plants. "Perhaps, this is why I unlocked the Spiritual Planter as my initial profession. I can unlock the full potential of the Life Energy within me to cultivate extraordinary spiritual plants or even create Wood Spirits, something only Tier 4 and above Spiritual Planters can achieve."
Ram's mind buzzed with possibilities. He could try experimenting with different types of spiritual plants, combining his Life Energy with their natural abilities to create new, powerful strains, directly skipping the initial hard work of general spiritual planters. The prospect of becoming a master Spiritual Planter, capable of cultivating rare and legendary plants, filled him with determination.
His thoughts turned back to the present. "For now, I'll start small. I'll use the Life Energy." Ram looked around his new surroundings. The abandoned train station, with its mix of nature reclaiming the space, seemed like the perfect place to begin his experiments.
Eager to test his newfound ability, Ram extended his hand, and with slight concentration, an energy cluster materialized around his outstretched hand as if it were the embodiment of life itself. In the beginning, the energy cluster was very small in size, reminiscent of fireflies in the night. But as he continued to extract more Life Energy, the gathering grew in both size and luminosity.
With each incremental extraction, the energy ball in Ram's hand expanded, resembling the work of a craftsman shaping a masterpiece. The once-small energy group had now grown to the size of a marble, emanating a potent aura. However, upon reaching the milestone of extracting 10 points, the energy group condensed into an orb, roughly the size of a bean from the previous size of marble. It pulsed with life energy, and its verdant glow was nothing short of enchanting and awe-inspiring.
Ram couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of this energy orb, thinking, "This is incredible. It's like I'm holding a piece of Life Energy Crystal, but it's many times purer than regular Tier 1 Life Energy Crystals, maybe 10 times or 20 times or even more."
Before the energy could dissipate, Ram extended his hand, allowing the energy orb to descend gently upon a nearby thorny vine. As the energy orb made contact with the vines inside the compartment, an extraordinary transformation began to unfold. The vines, which appeared somewhat withered and neglected, seemed to awaken with an insatiable thirst for the life energy cascading from his palm.
Ram watched in awe as the vine absorbed the essence of life he channeled into it.
In a matter of seconds, the once-sluggish vine sprang into action, and the speed of its growth was nothing short of mesmerizing. Vines extended and reached out in all directions, branching out with an abundant profusion of new growth. The leaves on the vine unfurled and expanded, displaying a rich, deep green hue that glistened in the ambient light.
Ram couldn't help but be in awe of the transformation occurring before his eyes. He marveled at the vine, which absorbed the essence of life he channeled into it.

The leaves on the vine unfurled and expanded, displaying a rich, deep green hue that glistened in the ambient light.
Not only did the leaves become larger and larger, but numerous small thorns also sprouted along the vines. These tiny spikes added an extra layer of protection to the plant, enhancing its natural defenses. Ram was astonished by the transformation.
As the vines continued to grow, Ram noticed something else. Small yellow flowers began to bloom among the thorns, their petals radiating a subtle but enchanting glow, even the vines outside began to transform rapidly with the infusion of the Life energy.
When the transformation finished, a new panel appeared in front of him with details:
[ Name: Thorn Spire Vine
Level: Black Iron (Tier-1)
Quality: Ordinary
Physique: 3
Spirit: 0.1
Description: An ordinary plant vine that has undergone a remarkable transformation under the influence of unique vitality. Its deep green leaves shimmer in the light, and its small but sharp thorns glisten with an unmistakable resilience.
Skill:
Thorny Armor: It possesses an enhanced layer of thorny defense made up of sharp thorns, making it difficult for predators to damage or consume it.]
Ram stared at the panel in awe. The combination of his Life Energy and the plant's natural potential had created something extraordinary. An ordinary plant had evolved into a spiritual plant with just 10 points of Life Energy. Looking at the physique attribute of 3, which is even higher than him should be related to the resilience of the Thorn Spire Vine. With a score of 3, the vine possessed a decent level of physical robustness, likely due to its enhanced thorny armor and vigorous growth under the influence of Life Energy.
"This is incredible," Ram thought. "I can actually enhance the natural abilities of plants and even give them new skills." He realized that his Life Energy attribute wasn't just extra Life Energy—it was a game changer. With this power, he could accelerate growth, enhance the properties of spiritual plants, upgrade spiritual plants, and perhaps even unlock their hidden potentials in ways no ordinary Spiritual Planter could.
However, the Spirit attribute of 0.1 puzzled Ram. He had expected a higher value, considering the spiritual nature of the plant. Perhaps this indicated the plant's initial spiritual awakening, with the potential for further spiritual growth as it absorbed more Life Energy and evolved.
"Wait! If just 10 points of Life Energy could bring about such a change, what would happen if I used more Life energy?" Ram pondered, would it evolve into a higher-tier spiritual plant, perhaps reaching Tier-2? Or would it simply experience accelerated growth and further enhancements in its attributes?
