The next seed he liked was Titan Wood Tree seeds, which were even more expensive at 10 Shadow points each.
As the name suggests, Titan Wood Trees were giant trees that could grow thousands of meters tall, with many other special abilities.
Some even said that they originated from the Divine Spirit Tree.
He bought one of each seed, planning to convert both of them into wood spirits later.
The reason for buying these seeds and not looking for plants outside was that when he evolved Thorny into a wood spirit, he found that the evolution potential of ordinary thorn spin vines was very low.
With an upper limit of Tier-2 at most, causing the skills and talent she awakened after turning into a wood spirit to be all low-grade.
"If it were a spiritual plant like Sword Grass or Titan Wood Tree, even the general skills they awaken would be more powerful than the talent of Thorny," he reasoned.
He could use his life energy to upgrade plants without any limit to their level and also bestow special skills to make them stronger, but the problem right now was that he was still in the initial stage and didn't have many skills saved.
"So, for a while, I'll still spend some money to buy spiritual plants with good potential and turn them into my wood spirit companions," he decided.
Earlier, Ram had found a large number of professional transfer materials on the list.
However, most of these materials were either for non-combat professions or ordinary combat professions, with costs ranging from hundreds to thousands of Shadow points.
Regarding rare transfer materials, he only found three: Blood Warrior, Shadow Assassin, and Elemental Wizard. These materials cost thousands to tens of thousands of Shadow points.
Although the difference was only one quality higher, the difference in combat strength and skill between an ordinary profession and a rare profession was evident.
Unlike skill cards, professional transfer materials were not obtained through killing monsters but by destroying Monster Dens or created by high-level professionals.
Ram thought, "As for the rest of the shadow points, I'll buy this special mushroom mycelium: Vitality Mushroom and Spirit Mushroom. I should be able to sell them back to earn some shadow points to buy professional materials later."
Each of these fungal varieties possessed unique properties and characteristics:
Vitality Mushroom: A Tier-1 Vitality Mushroom can increase the 'Physique' attribute of low-level professionals (Tier-1 to Tier-3) by 1 point directly for the first time, and the effect lowers with multiple uses.
Before leaving, he asked, "Do you know of any other pharmaceutical stores nearby?"
The old man nodded and gave him the details. "There's one down the street and another a few blocks over. They should have what you need."
"Thanks again," Ram said, and he left the store, feeling satisfied with his purchases.
He soon found a small, tucked-away alley that led to an old, abandoned building generally used by orphans.
It was perfect enough to avoid unwanted attention, yet close enough to the main street for easy access to resources.
He first opened the box with the mushroom mycelium. Inside were 70 small, bean-like crystals with mycelium inside, each preserved carefully.
Ram picked one up and began infusing it with life energy. The small mycelium absorbed the life energy rapidly, and within a few seconds, it had grown into a fist-sized red mushroom after absorbing about 7 points of life energy.
"Impressive," Ram thought, watching the rapid transformation then an attribute panel appeared in front of him.
[ Name: Vitality Mushroom]
[ Species: Fungus]
[ Tier: 1(+)]
[ Quality: High]
[ Effect: Increases 'Physique' by 1 point, accelerates healing, revitalizes Qi and Blood]
[ Maturity: Fully grown]
He nodded, satisfied with the result, and repeated the process with the other mycelium. Most of the vitality mushrooms absorbed about 7 to 8 points of life energy, while the spirit mushrooms required more, absorbing 16 to 20 points each, twice that of the vitality mushrooms.
Only a few mycelia were damaged and didn't grow, but the majority grew very fast and healthily.
