His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 23: Contract (One)

Among the more than three hundred people present, there were one hundred and eighty Body Tempering Masters who were each taken away from the open square by two instructors.

The remaining one hundred and twenty Spiritual Plant Masters were then divided into twelve groups, led by instructors, and entered the Academy’s Spiritual Plant Base to form a contract and begin cultivation.

Yu Qing Qian and the other three roommates were randomly divided into different groups. Soon, they were taken out of the square by the instructors of their respective groups and headed towards the Spiritual Plant Base in a carriage.

The instructor of Yu Qing Qian’s group was a pretty young woman. She introduced the Spiritual Plant Master’s contracts to the freshmen with a smile.

“Let me first introduce to you the use of spiritual plant essences and how to form a contract.

“First of all, after entering the Spiritual Plant Base, you must adjust your state of mind to the best, release your mental energy, and become close to the spiritual plants in the base with the friendliest attitude.

“When a spiritual plant that communicates friendship with your own mental energy appears, you can use the set of spells and hand seals I will teach you, doing both at once. The spiritual plant essences among the spiritual plants would automatically enter you as long as you’re willing and a contract will be formed within your body.

“Only after forming a contract can you truly become a distinguished Spiritual Plant Master in this Continent, and you will also officially begin the path of cultivation…”

Everyone listened to her explanation carefully along the way. About an hour later, they arrived at the Spiritual Plant Base located in the Academy.

The Spiritual Plant Base was actually a giant plant bank. There was a transparent green light cover outside that enveloped all the spiritual plants inside.

The Spiritual Plant Base covered a very wide area. Seen from a distance, the plants were even more bizarre, with at least a thousand species, of clusters of flowers and lush green leaves.

The instructor took out a token and handed it to an expressionless elderly man guarding the base. The elderly man recited a few spells towards the green light cover behind him, stretched out his hand, then waved it around, and a road to the depths appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.

“Thank you, Old Lu.” The female instructor smiled politely at the elderly man, then turned around and said to everyone: “Follow me.”

Following the female instructor into the Spiritual Plant Base, waves of fresh air overflowed, making people feel refreshed, relaxed, and comfortable.

“Alright, I will now teach you the methods, spells, and hand seals, please learn it carefully.”

She first introduced how to use mental energy to feel the spiritual plant essences, then made a few hand gestures to the group of people in a slow pace before asking everyone to follow suit. Finally, a cryptic incantation was said until everyone mastered it.

“The abilities that you will rely on for your future cultivation are all related to the spiritual plant essences, therefore you must treat your spiritual plant essence like family or a friend. If you respect it and like it, it will also like you.

“Each department’s Spiritual Plant Masters have different spiritual plants. The Academy will give you the opportunity to form a contract for free to begin cultivation. In the future, if you want to form a contract with an advanced-level spiritual plant essence, then you will have to pay the price or find one yourself.”

The female instructor pointed at the thousands of spiritual plants behind her and said: “Now release your mental energy according to the method I taught you. Remember to be gentle and friendly. Use the spells and hand seals as soon as you form a tacit understanding with the spiritual plants and make a contract. Those who are successful will stand behind me.”

She paused, the said: “Those who fail, don’t be discouraged. You have a total of five opportunities to actively communicate with spiritual plants and form a contract. If you fail all five times, then I will help you find a suitable spiritual plant essence to form a contract with.

“However, I still hope that everyone will try hard and form a contract on your own without help, so that you can achieve more than eighty percent spiritual communication and tacit understanding with the spiritual plant essence.”
