When Emery looked at this particular plant creature closely, he noticed its appearance was almost identical to the one he had previously seen in the Arbor master specter garden.

However, there were a few differences between them. This plant had a pair of pitch-black eyes. Emery was also able to sense a strong bond with this dark green wood plant.

Even if the little wood creature was definitely just an infant, it was agile enough to approach him, and its limbs were able to stretch out. It was quite impressive how this tiny plant was able to move in such a way even though it had only recently sprouted. After a while, the plant creature was able to use its limbs to climb Emery's body and then calmly lay on his shoulder.

The little guy was so elated to be able to stay close to Emery, and he could tell simply by the moment when its limb touched him. As if they were having a strong chemistry, the bond between Emery and this tiny plant had grown very quickly.

With the little wood creature lying on his shoulder, Emery walked up to the other 5 creatures. To his surprise, when the five creatures took a look at the new plant, they all expressed strong signs of interest.

"Alright, this is your new brother. His you can call himerr" Emery paused a moment in confusion. He came to a realization he really should name them all so that he could tell who was who.

Emery took a long, hard look at each of them as he considered what to call them all. The five yellow creatures had rounded bodies and based on the name [Chizpur fang], he came up with an idea to name them Chika, Chiki, Chiku, Chike and Chiko. Perfectly to be called as the five Chizpur brothers.

After giving the name to the [Chizpur Fang] creatures, Emery now needed to give the little wood plant a name as well. Since the little wood plant was laying on his shoulder with such a thin branchy body, he decided to name him 'Twik'.

"I hope you all agree," he said to the creatures with his voice filled with delight.

The five chubby creatures started to run around in the garden as if they wanted to show Emery how much they were excited about having a name for themselves. This gave him a feeling of pleasure.

In contrast with the Chizpur brothers, Twiks remained calmly attached to Emery's shoulder. This little wood creature did not show any reaction or response when Emery asked him about the name.

"You don't like it, Twik?" Emery asked with confusion.

Afterward, Emery started to study them for a little bit. The Chizpur brother's bodies were rigid and had hard skin like a rock, instead Twik's body was much more flexible. However, Emery could quickly tell that, despite its flexible body, Twik's body was even harder and gave out a much more powerful aura when compared to all of the 5 Chizpur brothers.

Looking at the 5 Chizpurs, who had already grown a bit, made Emery ponder. The [Metamorphosis Theory] clearly mentioned about the growth stages of the plant.

Stages 1 to 3 start from the seed, then develop the stem and roots into a sapling. Later on, they would bloom into full-grown plants. All of these were referred to as the early stages.

After that came the advanced stages, which started with the awakening at stage 4. During this stage, the plant would start to show signs of consciousness and would be able to do simple mobility. The creature would have the ability to move around and its ability would continue to develop until it finally reached maturity at stage 7.

The text stated that when the plant was able to metamorph into stage 9, it would have similar power to a magus. This reminded him of the powerful humanoid plants that protected the Arbor master, in the Alfa station.

Seconds later, he shifted his attention to the Chizpur brothers, who were still around in circles after he read the notes. He compared them to the chubby little rascals in front of him. They made him instantly shake his head. "Still far to go," he muttered to himself.

Now that Emery had reached rank 9, he wondered whether or not he could improve them to the next stages. The text said the awakening was the major upgrade, afterward it would depend on spirit force and resources provided up until the mature stage.

This had many similarities to the way humans cultivate. Fortunately, Emery still had some more [Metamorph Potion] leftover. As the other plant wouldn't be needing it anymore, therefore, he decided to use it on the five Chizpur brothers.

[Photosynthesis]

He channeled the Nature energy to them with patience and carefully. In the midst of the process, he could see much connection between the plant creature to his earth elements.

Emery could sense the spirit energy exploring the creature's body and eventually gathered toward the small glowing pebble. After an hour, Emery could feel the pebble grow twice in size and twice as powerful as it was before. Following that, a notification came into Emery's mind, which made him smile in glee.

[Chizpur Fang upgraded to stage 5]

[Exponential increase in Battle Power]

[Received Innate Ability]

It was surprising Emery was able to receive the message of the creature's growth. On the other hand, the message about his battle power caught his attention. Since he was curious about it, he immediately checked the little creature's power. At this point, it was possible to use his [Analyze] skill.

[Chizpur Fang - Stage 5]

[Magical Creature Level 30]

[Battle Power - 55]

[Spirit Energy - Plant and Earth]

[Innate Ability]

[Manipulate Earth]

[Earth Burrows]

Emery didn't realize this little project of his would lead to such a development. What surprised him more was, as he helped the creature in its metamorph, Emery felt a further understanding in the spirit of plants and, in particular, the earth.

[Spirit force increased]

[Spirit Force: 1252 (1255)]

3 points increased, such a number quickly made the little project no longer about them, but also for his benefit. While he still had a good grasp of the metamorph, he quickly continued with the rest of the Chizpur brothers to complete the [Metamorphosis]. It took Emery a few hours to finish the metamorph all 5, and along the process, he also gained a better understanding of the elements.

[Spirit Force: 1258]

Feeling Elated, Emery turn to the newly upgraded creature and said "Let me see what you all can do?"

As soon as Emery finish saying the word, One of the chubby creatures form a ball of dirt and threw it to his face.
