Living beings that possessed Spiritual Power and could move were both viable targets. Those without Spiritual Power could only be nurtured in person, since they couldn't use a Spirit Nurturing Bead, after all.
The difficulty of Spirit Nurturing increased in order from beast, to plant, to artifact, to Dao. Secret Level Spirit Nurturers below Tier Three usually worked on beasts. Plants were also an option, but they were much more difficult, with a low success rate for Spirit Awakening.
However, a Flower Demon Flower Wood was considered both a plant and a Demon Beast, so it wasn't as difficult as a normal plant, though it was likely a bit harder than a beast.
Considering he had Tier Three Mastery of the Spirit Nurturing Technique, even though it was his first time, Zhang Deming didn't follow the instructions in the texts to begin with an Awakening Skill and proceed slowly. 'After all, I'm not some Tier One novice anymore!'
