Chapter 81: No, even the spiritual plants within my body have only just begun to sprout and grow.
After Zhang San and Li Si left, Jiang Qiu also gave Yang Zhilan a [Golden Spirit Arrow Cage] spirit seed. After all, she had worked for him for two months and also managed the small group for resale. He couldn't let her do the work for free.
When Yang Zhilan received the [Golden Spirit Arrow Cage], she was flattered and held the spirit seed in both hands, nodding her thanks like a little hamster. Jiang Qiu just smiled slightly, "It's nothing. From now on, you will be in charge of the group's sales. This is your due reward. Go back and rest."
"Okay, see you tomorrow, Brother Jiang!"
"See you tomorrow."
Under the streetlights, Yang Zhilan skipped away, and Jiang Qiu turned to walk towards her own home, but soon stopped. She saw Jiang Qiao leaning against the pillar in front of the door with her arms crossed. "You're so generous to others."
Jiang Qiu smiled and said, "I can give you the pots you bought for me if you want. I still have quite a few first-generation spirit seeds in my house."
"Tch, who needs you to deliver it? My dad has already arranged a second-generation hybrid spirit seed for me," the other person curled her lips, her pretty eyebrows subtly raised, "Moreover, the [Powder-Gathering Fairy]'s metal and wood dual-attribute affinity and I have found a way to cultivate it. It will be able to pollinate in two months and I can cultivate it myself."
"It's good that we've found a method. In two months, my [Wood-Born Spirit Plant] should be 'bearing fruit' and entering the [Reproduction Realm]. It just so happens that I need the [Powder-Gathering Fairy] to carry out second-generation hybridization." Jiang Qiu nodded.
"Are you really planning on second-generation hybridization?" Jiang Qiao paused, then frowned. "No, even the spiritual plant within me has only just begun to branch out. How can you be preparing to 'bear fruit' and enter the [Reproduction Realm] so quickly...?"
"..." Jiang Qiu glanced at [Heart Field], where a "small tree" had a straight trunk, waving branches and leaves, a lush green crown, old leaves that had not yet withered, and new leaves that were about to grow. Bright green and yellow spiritual energy surrounded the branches and leaves, as if it were steaming.
After two months in the [Growth Realm], he consumed the [Spirit Cultivation Pills] ordered from Zhao Nan every day. The [Wood-Growing Spirit Plants] were growing stronger every day, with his body becoming more robust and powerful.
In two more months, we will pass the "outcome" cycle.
If edible fruits of both metal and wood are available at that time, they can be converted into the body, and the basic techniques can be activated to step into the [Reproduction Realm].
This is faster than many others.
It's easy to spot the clues.
However, Jiang Qiu calmly said, "You've only been in the [Growth Realm] for less than half a month, while I've been at this level for two months. Naturally, I'll be faster. This difference shouldn't be a big deal for you, right?"
"It's not that big..." Jiang Qiao muttered, her tone calm, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. Although her physique was not as good, her cultivation path was well planned and she could be considered to be sailing smoothly.
However, even with ample resources and the help of his father, he is expected to spend at least four months in the [Growth Realm], which is basically the ideal development period for a spirit plant master.
Lu Changming did the same thing back then.
Only then can they participate in the "battle of reproduction" as scheduled.
Jiang Qiu had no one planning his cultivation path, and his expected progress was about the same as this one. It was like a genius from a remote area who had never experienced track and field coaching, but was qualified to step into the finals on his first appearance.
And they all planted their seeds on the same day, and after two months of hard work, when they looked up, all they could see was the other person's back, which they could never catch up with...
Jiang Qiao puffed out her chubby cheeks like a squirrel with a bloated belly, and snorted softly, "I'm only two months later than you. Anyway, I can also step into the [Reproduction Realm] this year. You promised my father that you would help me transform into a rare physique. When the 'Reproduction Competition' comes, you may not be ranked higher than me."
"Well, but you've been waiting here for more than just this, haven't you?"
"Hmph, so what if I only say these things? Even Zhang San, Li Si, and Yang Zhilan can contact you, so why can't I talk to you?" Jiang Qiao raised her eyelashes, stared at her, and said with a hint of arrogance.
Jiang Qiu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Of course..."
"That's good," the other person interrupted decisively, then inexplicably turned their head away. "I just came to see how the basins I ordered for you are doing."
Jiang Qiu smiled and said, "It's great. After my diseased Wood Edge Flower is placed in these low-grade pots, its metabolic rate is expected to double, which means it can harvest two rounds of wood-type spiritual energy every month. The benefits will be very high."
"Of course! This is the best-selling Grade 1 pottery in Taodu. It's basically not sold to individual customers, and it's often sold out," Jiang Qiao said proudly. "By the way, my dad said that since you've prepared a whole quarter's worth of optimized potting soil, you'll get a million-dollar bonus?"
"What's wrong?"
"The million-dollar prize money can be used to order a limited-edition, rare, top-grade level 1 pottery in Taodu. Should I ask my father to help you one more time?"
Rare superior grade 1 basin is similar in status to rare superior grade 1 pill. Its main material is rare mineral soil, which is refined by a craftsman specializing in basins. It must have at least one characteristic.
It is an indispensable treasure for spiritual plant practitioners.
Wu Shan inevitably brings this up when he gives lectures.
However, I hadn't made this plan before because I was short of money and didn't have a way to order it. Now that Jiang Qiao brought it up, it was exactly what I wanted.
Jiang Qiu's eyes lit up almost imperceptibly, and she smiled politely, "Okay, could you please order some high-quality pots suitable for growing hybrid spiritual plants for me?"
"Hmm~ Then you have to pay me."
"What kind of compensation?"
"A [Golden Spirit Arrow Cage] spirit seed."
"Didn't you just say you didn't want it?"
"I never said no. Can't I grow it for fun?"
"It's up to you. You can come to me if you encounter any problems during the breeding process."
......
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye. Ever since Jiang Qiao received a [Golden Spirit Arrow Cage] seed, and the other party helped her order a limited-edition rare high-grade level 1 basin, the probability of the [Golden Spirit Arrow Cage] producing excellent traits has greatly increased.
Rare nutrient soil guarantees a 33% probability of rare traits appearing. The rare trait of this superior pot is to make the plant's traits suitable for the plant itself, making it easier for offensive plants to acquire offensive traits.
After dozens of generations of hybridization, Jiang Qiu quickly selected two rare traits with offensive effects, namely the Golden Spirit Arrow Cage, accelerated their growth, and then pollinated them to cultivate a higher quality spirit seed.
And sow them in high-quality pots.
New buds are just beginning to sprout.
Meanwhile, the [Growth Realm] has reached the later stage of cultivation, and the "Bearing" cycle is about to be completed. Jiang Qiao has also returned the [Powder-Gathering Fairy] who has the affinity of both metal and wood attributes, and another [Wood-Growing Fruit] has ripened as scheduled.
It is worth mentioning that the mother plant of the Wood Edge Flower has a 100% mutation rate. As long as it is not destroyed by humans, it will continue to be inherited. The one that stayed in the Fortune Pot afterward was the [Golden Spirit Arrow Cage], which also successfully mutated.
Everything was ready in the incubation room, and Jiang Qiu's gaze was fixed.
Following the basic methods, begin the grafting and hybridization process.
At this moment, Jiang Qiao next door was also tending to her first-generation hybrid spiritual plant, the Golden Lotus, in the cultivation room. Watching the lotus buds about to bloom and the gradually turning green-yellow Fairy hovering around, a smug smile appeared on her lips.
"We finally succeeded in pollination once. Before entering the [Reproduction Realm] at the end of the year, we can try to cultivate a few more generations and optimize their characteristics. The route that was rated as the strongest apprentice in Daddy's era is improved. It is definitely better than Jiang Qiu exploring on his own. We will aim for second place and strive for first place. Hehe."
She gently poked the Golden Lotus with her fingertip, and the hardest lotus bud swayed with the graceful stem, sinking without falling, dancing gracefully like a roly-poly toy, playing with the Pink Fairies.
However, the next second, Jiang Qiao's smile froze, and she gradually frowned. She saw the [Powder-Gathering Fairy] gradually fly away from the [Golden Lotus] and spin around in the room like a headless fly, making a lot of noise, and finally hovering on a potted plant.
The pot is made of high-quality ceramic and contains rare nutrient soil. A small seedling has just sprouted inside, growing in a spiral pattern. Its short, sword-shaped leaves point in all directions. It is a Golden Spirit Arrow Cage plant that was sown two months ago and has not yet reached its flowering period.
Yet it emits a unique fragrance that attracts insects for pollination...
