Xu Mu had read so many books about the strengths and weaknesses of plant beasts, he understood it well.
He made the suggestion, on one hand, because Yue was truly suited for this type due to her bloodline, and on the other hand, with his help, he could elevate Yue to the level of a Martial Emperor. The spirit of a plant beast at the Martial Emperor level was not much weaker than a typical Martial Emperor.
If they could capture a Martial God level plant beast in the future, they could continue the upgrade. Therefore, there was no issue with Nan Hu's concerns about battle and self-protection.
Also, one of the major reasons was that if Yue could integrate with a plant beast, her chances of awakening the Martial God bloodline would increase, and he could gain more useful information.
Of course, the so-called usefulness was only relatively speaking.
In reality, unless the Martial God reincarnated, it would be difficult to provide him with any significant help.
