But aside from her, no one else seemed to notice the ripple–not even Melina, with her high cultivation. Nyx observed for a while, then pulled her gaze away thoughtfully.

No matter what, she wasn’t about to touch something so valuable. If anything went wrong, she’d never be able to pay for it.

The seeds she’d just bought were all the cheapest ones anyway. She’d only gotten her first month’s stipend, so her pockets were pretty light. Plus, she didn’t really want to dip into the money her master had given her yesterday.

With the seeds in hand, Eileen taught her how to plant them. She patiently explained the use of techniques, arrays, and puppets, then helped Nyx practice, planting all the seeds she’d bought.

“Try using your spiritual energy to water them,” Eileen instructed.

Nyx closed her eyes, focusing her mind, calming herself to feel the spiritual energy flowing through her meridians.

Then she raised her two little paws, summoning the Snow Dew Bottle. Her spiritual energy surged, spreading across the land, gathering the moisture in the air and weaving it into a fine, misty rain.

The freshly planted seeds immediately took root and sprouted at a visible rate, poking out of the soil and dyeing the ground a tender green.

“I like this!” A faint, indistinct ripple reached her.

Nyx didn’t even have time to savor the spiritual energy the plants fed back to her through the bottle. She opened her eyes in surprise, stunned for a long moment before daring to believe it wasn’t an illusion.

She turned to Eileen. “Eileen, do they have consciousness?”

“Hm?” Eileen had been about to praise Nyx when the question caught her off guard.

‘Is she asking if these spiritual plants have developed sentience? What kind of question is that? Of course not!” she thought.
