Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

The existence of the Eastern Continent and other things made me very curious, but I didn't let that distract me from the other notifications that popped up just seconds after, the fruits power was taking effect, and it was slightly similar to the Elixirs too.

Ding!

[You have consumed [Blazing Spirit Fire Fruit (A Grade)] x10!]

[The power of the Blazing Spirit Fire Fruits has been fully absorbed by your body. Your wooden physique is being nourished by these intense spiritual flames.]

[After absorbing a large quantity of Spiritual Fire and not dying in the process, your body has grown much more resistant to it, having become tempered by the deadly flames.]

[You acquired innate resistance against the element of fire, and your body has been tempered by it.]

[You gained +1000 HP and +500 STR and VIT]

[Your [Cultivation]: [Sealed Three Divine Yggdrasil Meridians Realm (Stage 1)] has progressed the Stage 1 by +10%!]

What's this?

[Cultivation]: [Sealed Three Divine Yggdrasil Meridians Realm (Stage 1)]

A New Tab created for those that have started their path of Cultivation.

Because of your Unique Body and Composition, a new type of Cultivation has been created especially for you. Your three Divine Yggdrasil Meridians are sealed and will only unlock themselves once you harness enough Ki.

As it is at an initial stage of 0, it lacks abilities other than the most basic of ones. Device new Cultivation Techniques or absorb them to strengthen the foundation of this new cultivation method. Complete all three initial stages to advance further, while also gathering enough Ki for the Meridians to be unlocked.

Current Stage Growth:

Stage 1: Become more Resilient to Fire, Explosions, and Burns (20%/30%)

Stage 2: Become more Resilient to Poison and Miasma (0%/30%)

Stage 3: Enhance your Technique, Basic Weapon Techniques Proficiency and Attack Power (0%/30%)

Okay this is definitely different than in Earth! In Earth I can develop a Physique really easily and it grows stronger not only through exercise but also by absorbing materials and mana. But this one is different, very different! I have Stages I must complete to advance?! It feels like a bunch of tasks though.

But it is also quite interesting, they're not just tasks, they're passive effects! I can become more resistant to fire, explosions, burns, poison, and miasma, my greatest weaknesses! And above all, I can even gain proficiency on all basic weapon techniques and attack power?!

This is amazing! But how long will it take me to get there? Maybe I'll need to purposely burn and poison myself to gain resistance? Well, it is better than just having the weaknesses forever though.

I wonder if my friends will get something similar? They did get the Ki Elixirs as well, right? So I am beginning to wonder what's up with that. Will they get unique thingies like these? Or nothing at all?

"We're back!"

Once we reached the smithy, we opened the door using the key copy that Ambil handled to me, and we were greeted by the rest of our friends looking extremely exhausted.

"Ahhh… Y-You're finally back, Lady Planta…" Acorn sighed in relief. "W-We worked so much, my entire body's sore. I can't feel it…"

"Hahaha, we did beyond our limits, that's for sure." Laughed Lily, who was enjoying some herbal tea from the Forest of Beginnings.

"Those guys down there are still working, they're the real monsters though." Brisingra sighed.

"Are you okay?! You all look half-dead!" Rita panicked. "Elayne, heal them please!"

"S-Sure." I laughed a bit, healing them with all the magic I had available, but magic can't heal tiredness and satiation, they need to eat. "You guys wouldn't believe it, we had a big battle and fought that noble guy- he ended turning into a demon!"

"Wait, what? No way…!" Acorn said innocently.

"I thought he was only a cultist?" Brisingra wondered.

"Looks like it wasn't all that…" Lily wondered. "I would love to continue chatting though, but how about you go stop the rest of the guys down there before they pass out?"

"No matter how hard we told them to take a break, they were all fueled by the desire to help you progress your trial. Your clone down there has been monotonously making weapons like some sort of golem since then…" Brisingra said.

"O-Okay, alright, let's go down then." I nodded, as I looked awkwardly at the rest of my party.

"So your avatar can be made to enter some sort of robotic state?" Mark wondered. "That's really useful."

"Yeah, it is technically my body too, it shares my mind. But I discovered I can also leave "mind orders" deposited on its brain, and it will execute them without me having to pay attention of how I'm moving that body." I explained. "I can't really do it with a body I'm fully controlling though, but it is really useful."

As we entered the Smithy, we were greeted by a searing heat wave of hot winds, making our way inside, we found all the potential alchemist, crafters, from masters to disciples working diligently, by the command of Hammer, the Mushroom Brigade member that was a Blacksmith.

"Hey, master, is this alright? Should I add some more? I feel like something's missing."

"It sure is missing! You've not used enough Mana on this area, you've gotta be more careful! Attention to details is what makes the difference between a run of the mill blacksmith and a professional one!"

"Got it!"

At his side was Ambil, constantly teaching him new ways of doing things, while Hammer also recommended him new things. These two old men didn't seem tired at all and had found some sort of kindred spirit between the two.

"Hello, am I interrupting something?" I wondered. "I think its about time you guys take a break until tomorrow, if possible."

"Oh? Lady Planta's here!" Hammer said. "Alright boys and girls, time to take a rest then! Do as the lady say and leave things as they are."

All the workers sighed in relief, dropping what they were making and celebrating a bit… I think Hammer might have been forcing them to work a bit too much.

As I fused with my second Avatar, I saw rush of new notifications.

Ding!
