CHAPTER 260: CHAPTER 177: EROSION CHAPTER 2

Ailan nodded gently, "I can feel it. Sometimes it’s difficult to control larger plants."

His fingers brushed lightly across an area on Ailan’s abdomen, and the skin responded immediately to his touch, forming a halo of faint light.

"Here... and here..."

Ron’s fingertips glided over several key points on Ailan’s body, each touch eliciting a subtle reaction:

"I can sense the natural power within you gathering, but it still needs some guidance."

Ailan lay quietly, allowing Ron to examine her.

Her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was feeling the changes within her body.

"Master, I can feel your spiritual power helping me rearrange my internal structure. This feeling... is very comfortable."

Ron nodded, continuing his work.

With the abilities of a Bloodline Modifier, he could clearly see the plant organs within Ailan that had not yet fully fused.

Some organs were a mix between plant and human, showing remarkable adaptability and plasticity.

"Your body structure is very special, Ailan." Ron discovered some unexpected aspects:

"Not only have you retained all the traits of a tree spirit, but you’ve also developed some organs similar to human systems. This dual structure is extremely rare in my records."

Ron continued his examination, and when his spiritual power probed Ailan’s lower abdomen.

He discovered a more astonishing structure — an organ shaped like a blossom bud quietly lying there, its surface covered with countless tiny veins.

"This is..."

"My core of life." Ailan explained softly:

"The ancient tree fairies reproduce differently from humans. We store life essence through this organ, and when the time is ripe, we can independently nurture new life, but specific conditions and energy are needed."

Ron nodded, recording this significant finding in detail in his research journal.

This reproduction system structure, different from humans, holds important value for understanding the bloodline inheritance methods of various races.

"Turn over, I need to examine your back structure."

Ailan obediently turned over, revealing her smooth back.

Along the spine, a line composed of tiny wooden patterns could be seen, glowing faintly with her breath.

Ron’s fingers gently touched these patterns, guiding his spiritual power to flow along them, searching for possible instability points.

Ron frowned and said, "Additionally, your energy conversion rate is not ideal, which will limit your extended use of abilities."

After completing the examination, Ron took a step back, sorting through the information he had collected.

Ailan re-formed her green long dress, quietly waiting for the diagnosis results.

"Overall, the transformation is very successful, but there are still some areas that need adjustment."

Ron walked to the medicine cabinet, taking out several carefully concocted magic potions:

"I’ll modulate a set of stabilizers for you to help better fuse and stabilize your bloodline."

He paused, as if recalling something:

"By the way, I recently acquired a recipe for a Natural Affinity Potion, which theoretically should also be effective for you. It can enhance your connection with the natural elements and improve energy conversion efficiency."

Although he only had the right to use the recipe given by Trish, he could still provide the finished magic potion to those around him.

This magic potion mainly stimulates the natural affinity of the user, with few in demand, and the difficulty of refining the finished product is relatively high, so he hadn’t planned to make it a staple product of the workshop.

Ailan’s eyes lit up, "Master, are you saying I can become stronger?"

"Not just that." Ron picked up some sketches on the experiment table, showing them to her:

"I believe that with targeted modulation, you have the opportunity to evolve toward the direction of the Golden Oak Queen. Of course, this requires time and a significant amount of rare materials."

A trace of a different color flashed in Ailan’s eyes, and her breathing became noticeably faster:

"The Golden Oak Queen... a being that, according to legend, breathes with the entire forest."

"Exactly." Ron affirmed, "Your bloodline purity is already very high, and with appropriate modulation and guidance, the possibility is significant."

Ron turned to start blending the stabilizers, mixing several potions in precise proportions.

"Master, I... I am very grateful for everything you’ve done for me."

Ailan suddenly spoke, her voice soft with a hint of nervous tremor:

"Ever since the slave market, you gave me a new life, and helped me find my true self again..."

The tree spirit was brewing her words, seemingly wanting to express her loyalty.

Ron paused in his actions, gently shook his head:

"Emotional identification is not necessary, and loyalty has value, but it shouldn’t stem from gratitude. Your existence and abilities have intrinsic value."

"I understand." The tree spirit’s voice grew firm:

"Precisely because Master never asks for anything in return, it makes me want to help you even more."

Ron stopped his actions, turning to look at this beautiful ancient tree fairy.

He could feel the sincerity in her words, not mere gratitude, but a sense of belonging that came from deep within her soul.

"You are an indispensable part of this workshop, Ailan." Ron said with a smile.

The potion was soon prepared, and he handed Ailan a bottle emitting a faint green glow:

"Take a small spoonful morning and evening, and it should help fully stabilize your bloodline. In less than a month, you should be able to fully control all your abilities."

Ailan received the potion with a vine, carefully storing it away:

"Thank you, Master. Also... may I leave part of my consciousness in the old tree in the courtyard? That connection with the earth is very important to me."
