It only took three days for Guo Di, who was working to her absolute limit, to level up from 20 to 21.
Then, it took another week to level up from 21 to 22.
This was partly due to the higher-level cultivation nutrients that could only be used upon reaching Stage 2.
But more importantly,
it was the result of a safe and stable environment.
Both Lin Chuan and the various Spirit Beasts could fully devote their mental and physical energy to special training and growth without any worries.
Flower Spirit had suddenly evolved at level 22, after finishing her Meditation training.
The specific evolution conditions could not yet be accurately determined due to insufficient data.
However, Lin Chuan had discussed and analyzed the situation with Wan Wan and had a preliminary hypothesis.
This hypothesis was related to synchronized frequency.
Because when Flower Spirit evolved previously, it was during the short period immediately after Meditation, a time when Flower Spirit's physical state, energy activity, and mental strength should have been at a relative low point compared to usual.
Only her synchronized frequency was in a temporarily elevated state due to the influence of Meditation.
In any case, whether it was true or not, testing it on Guo Di would reveal the answer.
Apart from Meditation, the method to temporarily increase synchronized frequency was, of course, Synergy Dance.
Flower Moon Dance, let's go!
Lin Chuan and Guo Di danced the Flower Moon Dance for an entire morning in the training room, 10 minutes at a time, with 20 minutes of rest in between.
Wan Wan meticulously recorded Guo Di's various physical data after each Synergy Dance.
Finally, during the seventh Synergy Dance, as it was in progress,
when Lin Chuan felt a sense of merging with Guo Di's spiritual consciousness, as if they were one,
Guo Di's body suddenly vibrated inexplicably.
Through the contract, Guo Di conveyed a message to Lin Chuan, indicating that she was about to evolve.
Lin Chuan immediately stopped the Synergy Dance and stepped back.
By instinct, Guo Di used Rooting.
Solidified roots continuously formed from Guo Di's two short legs and lower body, embedding themselves into the soil of the training room floor.
Mimetic roots, composed of Wood Attribute energy, then intricately wrapped and enveloped Guo Di's entire body from head to toe.
Moments later, Guo Di transformed into a large emerald green cocoon.
At the bottom of the large cocoon, the solid roots were deeply embedded in the training room floor, absorbing various nutrients from the soil at a visible speed.
"Master."
Wan Wan spoke a reminder, and Lin Chuan snapped back to attention.
The soil in the training room was just ordinary soil; it was fine for daily cultivation and training, but at such a critical moment of evolution, the nutrients it could provide would likely be insufficient.
Lin Chuan quickly took out various cultivation resources specifically for Guo Di from his storage bag; bags and bags of nutrient-rich soil were poured by Lin Chuan next to Guo Di's solid roots. Wan Wan, White Snow, and Flower Spirit also came to help, pouring barrel after barrel of high-grade nutrient solution around the roots.
Besides these, there were also small amounts of Illusion Attribute resources.
Powdered Illusory Dream Stones and Lost Trail Deer antler powder were also sprinkled around the roots.
The freshly poured nutrient soil quickly lost its color and turned greyish-white, and the freshly watered nutrient solution dried up at a visible speed.
These resources were absorbed by the large cocoon at an alarming rate.
As long as the absorption didn't stop, Lin Chuan would continue to add more.
In short, there could be more, but not less.
At the same time, Wan Wan also used 'Fairy Art · Creation Mode' to buff Guo Di during her evolution and breakthrough.
----
As analyzed, after reincarnation, the key to evolution was synchronized frequency.
The Master danced the Flower Moon Dance with Guo Di.
After an entire morning of effort,
Guo Di began her evolution, and the evolution process was different from Flower Spirit's.
Guo Di transformed into a large cocoon and began to absorb a large amount of surrounding energy matter.
The Master piled various suitable nutrients for Guo Di, along with a small amount of Illusion Attribute resources, at the base of the large cocoon.
These nutrients were so timely and suitable, perfectly providing all the substances Guo Di needed for her evolution.
Guo Di's evolution this time received the maximum possible enhancement, transforming to her limit.
----
Currently, Wan Wan's level had also reached 23.
According to the previous plan, she would undergo her second transformation when she reached level 25, during the upper-Lord Rank bloodline growth bottleneck period. But let's not talk about that for now. The current focus is that the Creation Mode Wan Wan was currently using, due to the increase in her level, had also progressed from beginner to normal proficiency through daily practice.
The effect of Fairy Art · Creation Mode was much stronger than before.
As soon as Wan Wan finished writing this passage,
the large cocoon that Guo Di had become immediately pulsed like a giant heart, thumping loudly.
Ripples of emerald green energy, mixed with a small amount of silvery-white, spread outwards in circles.
The large cocoon grew larger and larger, and its pulsations became increasingly intense.
As the Wood Attribute energy ripples spread, green grass actually grew from the training room's soil, and pure white, sacred small flowers bloomed.
For a moment, the entire training room was filled with the breath of life.
This state lasted for half an hour.
Half an hour later, the large cocoon, accompanied by a pulsation even stronger than before, shattered with a boom, transforming into a sky full of verdant, misty light points. This was Wood Attribute energy almost condensed into a solid liquid. Fine green light rain drifted down within the training room, and flowers formed from Wood Attribute and a small amount of Illusion Attribute energy quietly bloomed.
On a small platform made of solidified roots,
Guo Di was curled up, hugging her knees, still in a deep sleep.
Gradually, Guo Di awoke, opening her eyes to reveal a pair of clear, flawless emerald green eyes.
Guo Di slowly stood up from her curled-up, knee-hugging position and stretched her body.
This allowed Lin Chuan to clearly see Guo Di's complete appearance now.
Overall, she still had the outline of a Flower Spirit, but many details were different.
She was 1.4 meters tall, five centimeters taller than Flower Spirit.
The leaf-like dress around Guo Di's body was no longer purely green, nor was it like Flower Spirit's leaves with delicate, intricate silver-white patterns.
The leaves on Guo Di's body were gradient-colored; their main body was still emerald green, a vibrant, translucent emerald green imbued with vitality, but the closer to the edge of the leaf, especially the tip, the whiter it became, a sacred and pure white.
Furthermore, on top of Guo Di's head, in addition to the two pure white, sacred flowers on the left and right of her forehead, there was also a circle of intricately entwined vine garlands.
In the center of the garland, above Guo Di's forehead and between her eyebrows, there was a distinctly protruding vine knot, which actually formed the shape of a 'mountain' character. Overall, it looked like a small crown.
Guo Di had always been called 'Spiritual Little Sister' by Flower Spirit, and before, she had contracted the chuunibyou of web novels, constantly referring to herself as 'Guo Di, Guo Di'.
However, at this moment,
Guo Di seemed to have truly become Guo Di.
"Within certain Spirit Beast or demonic creature races, there may appear natural tribal leaders. As tribal leaders, they will have some special external manifestations, usually appearing as larger bodies, more vibrant and striking colors, and potentially the 'mountain' character shape, similar to a crown, as a characteristic feature."
Wan Wan explained.
Lin Chuan gazed at Guo Di, activating his Appraisal Eye.

"Guo Di, how do you feel?"
Lin Chuan asked directly.
Guo Di nodded slightly and conveyed a message to Lin Chuan through the contract.
【Master, don't worry, my condition is very good.】
【As for strength, I'm very strong, but I don't know how strong. I feel like I wouldn't lose to the current Flower Spirit.】
Lin Chuan nodded slightly.
But soon, Lin Chuan fell into hesitation, always feeling that something wasn't quite right.
Lin Chuan thought for a while and finally realized it!
Guo Di's tone of expression!
According to Guo Di's personality, shouldn't she have said, 'Is this Guo Di invincible under heaven?' or something like that?
Moreover, using Flower Spirit as a comparison, her attitude shouldn't have been so humble; shouldn't she have said how many Flower Spirits she could beat? Before this, she always said arrogant things like, 'This Guo Di is going to beat 10 Flower Spirits today.' How did it turn into such a humble statement as 'I wouldn't lose to Flower Spirit'?
Something's wrong!
Nine out of ten things are wrong!
Lin Chuan circled Guo Di, examining her carefully from front to back, left to right.
Seeing Lin Chuan's behavior, Flower Spirit, Wan Wan, and White Snow were all puzzled. Was there something wrong with Guo Di? It didn't seem so, did it?
Lin Chuan continued to circle, staring intently, observing carefully.

(⊙ˍ⊙)
Gradually, Lin Chuan noticed that Guo Di's calm, fair face was actually turning slightly red.
A sudden inspiration struck Lin Chuan, and he seemed to understand something.
"Guo Di."
Lin Chuan called out, and Guo Di's face turned a little redder.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan's eyes brightened even more.
Wan Wan also seemed to have noticed something, covering her mouth in surprise, then giggling.
At this moment, the situation on the field changed abruptly!
Lin Chuan suddenly knelt on one knee and cupped his hands towards Guo Di.
"Three years have passed, welcome back, Guo Di!!"
Flower Spirit only reacted at this moment. She immediately scurried to Guo Di's side, bowing slightly.
Ying ying ying!
(Little Sister Flower Spirit, welcomes Guo Di.)
White Snow: Awoo woo~~ (Long live Guo Di)
If it had been the old Guo Di, she would have been incredibly happy and excited.
However, at this moment,
Guo Di covered her face in embarrassment and rolled on the ground.
Yi ya ya!!
(Don't say it anymore, don't say it anymore! What Guo Di? I don't know, I don't know!!)
