Does anyone know of novels with MC's who primarily use Earth or Wood Attribute Magic /Qi? Usually in novels I read I subconsiously ignore a character because you never see anyone with these attributes, If they are important it's almost always unattributed, demonic, Fire or water/ice, with occasional wind, thunder and metal. I honestly can't remember anyone, be they a MC, Companion or Villain, that uses either Wood or Earth and aren't mob characters. The only novel that I can think of that even remotely comes close is Battle Through the Heavens, as Alchemists must have a small amount of Wood Qi and a Large amount of Fire Qi to preform Alchemy. I don't care if it's Korean, Chinese, Japanese, or any other novel, if it's online and the MC uses Earth or Wood and not much of the other elements it's fair game.
Grasping Evil It doesn't happen for a quite a while but the MC's wood intent/wood wielding becomes really OP and one of his main battle powers later on. Past where the HTL is though.
Naruto has those guys with actual wood abilities. Jokes aside, I do feel like I know bunch, but at the same time I don't remember the names of those novels. For example I remember MC being a dryad in one(her home forest got burnt down but she escaped somehow) and she exclusively used wood based abilities, and ended up building some weird monster village that protected her because she could grow food with her wood/plant magic. I also remember some fox girl withwfire abilities becoming her friend and her getting depressed as MC, a living tree/dryad hibernated over winter and got progressively more and more passive toward winter during fall. Swallowed Star has some plant based stuff like plant weapon/armor/something things which are essentially just living "cold" weapons/armor that can cultivate(hue). It doesn't exactly focus on using these plants despite them being pretty major part of powers because >>>>>>cultivators power is cultivation meme Might update later if I remember more Remembered one more Everyone loves large chests on rrl, mc is... Unique
A wood attribute cultivation story would be pretty cool. I know Han Li from A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to immortality uses a wood attribute cultivation technique but his attack don’t use wood at all.. I think I remember someone saying there’s a wood/earth/metal user in Avalon of the Five Elements.
I haven't read The Outer Sphere, so I can't comment on it, but there's some plot information you might want to know about Molting the Mortal Coil's MC's Power Development so far. Spoiler: Minor Spoilers for Molting the Mortal Coil The MC of Molting the Mortal Coil is, like what was requested, a Plant Type Cultivator. However, for a fair amount of time for the story, he utilized a cultivation style that had him imitating a Fire Type Cultivator, so that he could create and control flames for Blacksmithing & Alchemy. He has since abandoned the faux-Fire Cultivation Style for a good Plant Type Cultivation Focus, and discovered that the Faux-Fire type had been significantly delaying his cultivation speed and potential.
