Chapter 182 Anomaly
The merchant family consulted the town's pharmacist, but he couldn't find the cause of the illness. Finally, they went to Ellie, who was said to understand magical plants.
Ellie had been learning from Rolin for so long and had dealt with many problems of disordered magical plant energy, but this was the first time she had dealt with this kind of parasitic micro-magical plant.
She was a little nervous, but mostly she wanted to give it a try.
After thinking about it, Luo Lin felt that this was a good opportunity to put his skills into practice, so he agreed and secretly followed them to that family's house.
The merchant's family wasn't wealthy; the house was somewhat cluttered, and the air was filled with the earthy smell of minerals and a faint musty odor.
Several family members looked haggard with dark circles under their eyes.
Ellie first used her perception ability from the "Azure Wood Spirit Gathering Technique" to examine their bodies as usual. Sure enough, she found some extremely faint, dark green energy spots with a cold, devouring feel in the weakest part of their body's energy field.
It's the activated spores of the phlegmon that are causing this.
These spores are easy to remove; they can be killed by repeatedly rinsing with gentle natural energy or by irradiating them with light energy of a specific frequency.
But Ellie didn't act immediately.
After obtaining the owner's permission, she located the source ore and moved it to a well-ventilated area in the yard.
Then, she did something that surprised even Rowling.
Instead of immediately using her mental or symbiotic energy to treat the spores on the patient, she first walked to the few pieces of ore, stretched out her finger, and gently touched the dark green spots on the surface of the ore.
At the same time, she closed her eyes, as if carefully sensing something.
Rowling did not disturb them, but quietly observed them using the Ring of Insight.
Ellie's mental energy, like the gentlest tendrils, slowly reached out towards the active Soul-Eating Moss spores.
She wasn't driven by hostility, but by pure curiosity and a desire to understand the existence and energy needs of these tiny lives.
She could sense the cold, greedy, and devouring desire emanating from the spores, but she also sensed the simple and direct survival instinct behind them.
Just then, Rolin noticed that the thin wisp of warm mist in Ellie's mental sea seemed to fluctuate slightly, creating a barely perceptible synchronization with the mental energy Ellie was probing out.
Immediately afterwards, the natural energy emanating from Ellie underwent an extremely subtle change, gaining an indescribable, inclusive, and soothing quality.
When she channeled this comforting natural energy toward a cluster of spores on a patient's wrist.
The spores that were originally restless and trying to resist became strangely calmer, their rate of consumption slowed down significantly, and even the dark green color on the surface of some spores dimmed a little.
Ellie seized the opportunity and gently enveloped the spore cluster with a purer flow of natural energy, soothing and purifying them little by little, like warm water melting snow.
After treating a patient, Ellie's forehead was covered in sweat, but her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.
She seemed to have found her footing, and the subsequent handling became much easier.
That peculiar feeling of comfort became increasingly pronounced.
Luo Lin watched quietly from the side, his heart filled with turmoil.
This is not ordinary energy purification; it's more like—an energy persuasion or life field suppression based on deep understanding?
The warm mist of spiritual interaction generated after Ellie and the Moonflower coexisted seemed to endow her natural energy with a unique quality that could soothe and even influence the spirituality of lower life forms!
This exceeded his initial expectations.
Originally intended only to help Ellie break through her energy sensing bottleneck, the symbiotic system now seems to be guiding her toward a unique path that leans more toward "life," "spirituality," and "harmony."
After dealing with the merchant's affairs and declining the payment, Ellie and Rowling returned to Blackrock Hut.
Ellie seemed both excited and confused.
"Mr. Rowling, that feeling just now—it was so wonderful."
"I think I can sense what those spores are thinking. They are hungry, cold, and just want to survive."
"Then I thought about being quiet and not making a fuss," and the energy in my body seemed to change—it really wasn't so fierce anymore.

Lorin asked her to sit down and recounted in detail the energy changes and mental sensations throughout the process, then scanned her condition again with the Ring of Insight.
After confirming that there were no negative remnants, he slowly spoke: "Ellie, the ability you just displayed is very likely related to that wisp of warm mist in your mental sea."
"That's not just simple energy; it's more like the nascent form of a spiritual harmonizing force field generated after you and Yue Yinhua resonated deeply."
"It imbues your energy with qualities of soothing, understanding, and even slightly influencing the spirituality of lower life forms."
Ellie didn't quite understand, but she knew it was a good thing.
"Then—what's the use of this ability?"
"Will you help me become a wizard faster?"
"Perhaps it won't allow you to directly cast powerful elemental spells," Roland said, carefully choosing his words.
"But it may open another door for you, a door to the School of Life, spiritual communication, or even more niche fields."
""
"There is more than one path for a wizard; immense destructive power is just one manifestation of it."
"The skillful manipulation of life energy and the understanding and influence on the spiritual level are equally powerful forces, and in some areas they are even more precious and irreplaceable."
He paused, looking at Ellie: "But this ability also comes with greater responsibility and risk."
"It affects the spirituality of life, involves ethics and the unknown. You must be more careful and more clear about your boundaries and principles."
"Power itself is neither good nor evil, but the person who wields it is."
Ellie's expression turned serious, and she nodded earnestly: "I understand, Mr. Rowling."
"I will use it carefully and will not abuse this ability."
This unexpected event added a new dimension to Rowling's observations of symbiotic systems.
Assessment of spiritual interaction and derived abilities.
He discovered that whenever Ellie engaged in deep meditation and resonated strongly with the moonflower, the warm mist would become more active, and the unique comforting sensation on Ellie would intensify.
When she uses this spiritual energy to care for other magical plants, the growth and energy activity of those plants will also experience a slight positive improvement.
Honeysuckle itself also benefits from this process.
It seemed to really like the soothing energy emanating from Ellie. Whenever Ellie finished meditating and fed back a bit of this energy to the Moonflower, the Moonflower would emit pleasant energy fluctuations, and the halo around its leaves would become even more gentle.
Symbiotic systems are evolving from one-way energy assistance to two-way energy-spiritual synergy.
However, progress was not smooth sailing. About ten days after the incident, one afternoon, while Ellie was taking care of her magical plants as usual, she suddenly felt a strange dizziness and nausea. Her face turned pale instantly, and she almost fell over.
