Start as a Spiritual Planter: I Have a Game Panel

As Ram reviewed the details, a few changes caught his attention.

First, the race of the creature had shifted to a Beeman variant of the Wood Spirit, clearly reflecting its transformation.

Its quality had increased from ordinary to Elite, and its level was now a full Silver Tier—compared with its early silver tier. These boosts had improved its physique and spirit stats significantly.

Its racial traits had also adapted. Some were strengthened, and a new characteristic had emerged: Wood Spirit Body.

It enhanced maximum health and recovery speed, functioning like a smaller-scale version of Ram's own Life Spirit Body. This feature alone would make the Hive Guard more resilient than any ordinary creature of its type.

As for skills, there didn't appear to be any drastic additions, but the upgraded racial traits and improved quality clearly made the creature stronger and more versatile.

Looking at his Lord's panel again, the Territorial Population also increased by two, although he doesn't know how useful they can be, he glanced at the newly transformed Hive Guards with a sense of accomplishment.

"Using this method, unlike other Lords, I don't need to worry about not having enough soldiers to fight, all I need to do was to collect enough souls and resurrect them into Wood Spirits." Ram continued to check his own attribute panel and found that his experience also increased slightly from the feedback.

However, the 0.7% increase was very small compared to his current upgrade requirement, looking at it he couldn't help but mutter, "Damm... Unless I cultivate Tier 4 spiritual plants or Wood Spirits, I won't gain much experience from Tier 3 alone."

"At this rate, I won't be able to upgrade fast enough if I only concentrate on Tier 3, but upgrading any one of them to Tier 4 seemed like it needs thousands of points of Life energy and Spiritual power each." He continued to ponder, looking back at the Beeman who are adjusting to the new environment.

Leaving the newly transformed Hive Guards to adapt, Ram reached into his storage space and retrieved a small, palm-sized card marked with intricate patterns.

This was a storage card—he'd purchased earlier from the alliance store, loaded with seeds he selected. Crushing it lightly, he watched as a large group of seeds appeared, hovering momentarily before he swept them all into his inventory.

These weren't the seeds that enhance the personal attributes or perception, but the housing seeds he brought for the cavemen or other creatures to settle inside his space

Two hundred seeds floated in his hands—that cost him a hundred points of source power, but Ram knew the long-term benefits made it worthwhile.

Once fully grown, each housing seed would slowly absorb 'Ideal power' or 'Thought power' leaked from its inhabitants, slowly converting it into source power, and storing it for later use.

As you can know Source power is produced from the mixture of all kinds of thought power, whether positive thoughts or negative thoughts, which is a higher-level energy compared to Reiki.

It's not as pure as the Power of Faith, he saw before, but at the same level, and because of its unorthodox nature, it is hard for creatures to absorb it.

Even if someone tries to absorb it forcefully, their mind will get corrupted, turning them into bloodthirsty monsters.

Thus far, only The Divine Spirit Tree possesses the ability to freely absorb source power and create miraculous things with it, like creating Monster dens and so on.

Maybe there might be other creatures or spiritual plants like the Ancient tree of Elves, that can use source power like the Divine Spirit Tree, but Ram didn't know much about them.

Coming back to the housing seeds over time, these seeds could generate a steady supply of source power—according to Su Xing, most Lords use similar types of spiritual plants or other devices to gather more Source power.

The high cost, however, wasn't just for their basic utility.

Each seed had been meticulously modified by expert Planters, altering the traits of these housing plants to amplify their usefulness.

With Ram's current level of seed collection, creating or extracting seeds with similar attributes was far beyond his reach.

So, without any other option, he bought more, according to Su Xing, a Tier 3 housing plant can easily accommodate ten ordinary adult humans and be able to produce 0.1 source power per day.

The output mostly depends on the strength and spirit attribute of the creatures living inside, the higher it is the more the output of the source power.

Holding the seeds, Ram began spreading them methodically across the designated area by infusing them with enough Life energy.

One by one, the seeds pulsed with life as Ram continued to infuse more life energy, even the surrounding reiki and life energy particles inside the space began to gather around those seeds as they grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than an hour, the barren area had transformed into a lush, fantastical forest scene. The housing seeds had grown into large, spherical huts that resembled oversized, fruits.

Each "hut" had round openings that served as doors and windows, and the tops of these structures were crowned with thick and long green leaves that sprouted like decorative plumes, giving the appearance of giant, leafy bulbs.

Ram took in the sight, raising an eyebrow in amusement. "Hmm, they look like giant onions with leaks sprouting out the top," he muttered, chuckling to himself.

Despite the resemblance, he knew these were far from the onions he was used to.

The texture and strength of these housing plants were very strong and easily able to withstand a few attacks from Tier 3 professionals.

However, their main focus was not on defense but on their efficiency in gathering Source power.

Each of these towering plants stood at around four to five meters tall, with a broad base underground that expanded into cozy, curved walls capable of comfortably housing groups of twenty to thirty cavemen each.

The interiors appeared spacious, with soft, wood-textured surfaces that would naturally insulate against any harmful weather or energies.

The leafy tops not only provided additional shade but also contributed to the plant's ability to gather more energy, which has an additional recovery effect on the creatures living inside.

As Ram took a step back to admire his handiwork, he activated his Spiritual Eye, focusing on one of the nearest housing plants. His gaze sharpened, and detailed information about the plant's nature and properties began to materialize before him.

"Perfect," Ram murmured, pleased with the Leaf-Dome Housing Plants, just then when he was about to close the attribute panel, his vision was flooded with continuous prompts that appeared one by one, asking him, whether to save the following skills from all two hundred plants.
