[I hope I have this game figured out before it's over...]

It'd be good if it helps. Sadly, my knowledge of such plants is minimal.

[psynergy]

Since you put it like that, are there other plants you are informed in?

[nosediving]

[At that, Shang Qinghua can only smile apologetically.]

There are several, but I do not see any of them here. It's all just passing knowledge, anyway. I'm afraid I'm no expert in anything related to plant life.

[psynergy]

Well, that can only take you so far, honestly.

[Unless you're falling back on it because sob, his powers...]

Then is there anything in which you consider yourself to be an expert?

[nosediving]

As a disciple, I mastered the art of domestic service in my youth. My expertise lies in this and logistics.

[psynergy]

[The corners of his mouth twitch just a bit toward a more amused smile, but return.] I see. "It's quite noble to work for the benefit of others," and the like?

[nosediving]

[He nods. Quite right, sir!]

My branch is dedicated to serving our sect brothers and sisters while they attend to their respective duties. In doing so, all of us benefit.

[psynergy]

That sounds quite like something a girl from my clan would often say... A branch of what sect, if I may ask?

[nosediving]

Cang Qiong Mountain Sect is one of the Four Great Sects dedicated to spiritual enlightenment. We also defend against demonic interference in the human realm.

[psynergy]

Ah yes, enlightenment. I believe that's practiced in a few places in my own world. I take it these demons aren't supposed to be in the same realm as you?

[nosediving]

[He shakes his head. The demons have their own realm.]

Does your world practice cultivation, too?

[psynergy]

As in tending to land for orderly food production?

[nosediving]

Those of us who cultivate our spiritual energy are known as cultivators. Since you mentioned that enlightenment is practiced in your world, I thought that this could be a common element between our worlds.

[psynergy]

There are those who follow similar practices, although they don't call themselves that. It's a far more limited capability than that of Adepts, however.
