Chapter 173 Cooperation Upgrade, Elf Yingying (First Update)
Li Qing smiled and said, "I have planted this Qingzhu rice for countless years and acres in my early years. I don't even need to look at it. I can tell where the problem lies just by sensing the changes in its magic power."

Anderson's face froze for a long while before he smiled awkwardly and said, "I was confused. You gave me the seeds of this magical rice, so you are naturally more familiar with it than anyone else."

Li Qing picked up an ear of green pearl rice and said, "Although the cultivation of spiritual rice is easier than other natural witch medicines, it also requires careful care."

"I think this piece of green pearl rice looks good, but the purity of its water magic is still quite lacking. We need to be more demanding in the details."

Anderson had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Li Qing is well aware of the principle of "getting what you want" and "but it's beyond my expectation that this is the first time I've planted it."

"Even with my personal instruction, the quality of the first planting on Lettuce Island was even worse than yours."

"In my opinion, with Ona's help, Green Rose Castle will not have too many setbacks in growing spiritual rice."

"Guka!" The rice elf Ona pinched the edge of her skirt and turned around happily.

Anderson also showed a happy expression on his face: "Mr. Shepherd, since you are so satisfied, I wonder about the follow-up cooperation..."

Li Qing smiled and took out two jade boxes: "Inside are two kinds of spiritual rice seeds, which are of better quality than Qingzhu rice. You can try to grow some."

In this world, whether it is a rune warrior or a wizard, practice mainly relies on absorbing magic potions made from witch medicine, and is not sensitive to the environmental spiritual energy.

However, spiritual plants cannot do this. On the one hand, they gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and improve the feng shui of the land; on the other hand, they are limited by the spiritual environment.

On Lettuce Island, because the spiritual energy was thin and there were no spiritual veins, Li Qing mainly promoted first-grade inferior spiritual rice, such as Hongya Rice, Qingzhu Rice, and Golden Rice.

But in Green Rose Castle, Li Qing discovered two first-grade mid-quality spiritual veins, which provided conditions for planting first-grade mid-quality or even top-quality spiritual plants.

Anderson opened the jade box and found that the husk of one kind of spiritual rice was purple, while the grains of another kind were swollen, and the magic power (spiritual energy) it exuded was much purer than the previous ones.

"Thank you for your trust!" He bowed solemnly, "The Green Rose Family will never let you down."

Li Qing nodded slightly and looked back at Green Rose Castle: "Sir, will you introduce your territory to me?"

Anderson smiled heartily: "It's my pleasure!"

The two said goodbye to the hardworking Ona and chatted as they walked.

The Green Rose Family is naturally famous in all the countries on the continent for their Green Rose witch medicine, which has been passed down from generation to generation and has a wide variety of varieties.

As Li Qing walked along the way, he encountered five species of spiritual plants whose spiritual energy concentration levels alone reached the level of first-grade top-quality spiritual plants.

This does not rule out the possibility that some varieties, although lacking in spiritual energy, have special effects and may be included in the first-grade superior products.

And this is all thanks to his family ancestor, Joshua Greenbrier, and his elf partner, the Greenbrier Great Elf Larson.

Yes, the Green Rose family had been wealthy before. These five first-class products were all cultivated by Larson.

Of course, there is only one Green Rose Elf and one White Rose Elf left in the Green Rose family, as well as Ona who was traded.

"White rose?" Li Qing raised his eyebrows. "But I don't see a single white rose in this castle?"

Anderson shook his head helplessly: "This is the will left by our ancestors. In order to commemorate Lord Larson, no other colors of roses are allowed to appear in Greenrose Castle."

"Mirko, the White Rose Elf, now lives with my brother in the White Rose Manor fifty miles away."

"Besides that, our family has several other species of rose fairy bugs. They are just not here, but scattered across several manors."

Li Qing was relieved: "I was just thinking, if we rely on green roses, no matter how many varieties there are, the hope of evolving the spirit insects is too slim."

Anderson smiled and said, "Actually, this is a good idea. It can preserve the purity of the inheritance of different rose flowers. As for the spirit insects absorbing the essence, they can just go to various manors for vacation regularly."

The two chatted along the way and unknowingly arrived at the woody rose forest that was thirty or forty meters high.

The rich rose fragrance hits you in the face, making you feel tipsy and relaxed physically and mentally.

Many serfs were climbing ladders and carrying baskets, carefully avoiding the sharp thorns on the branches and picking roses as big as bowls. "Ah!" A serf suddenly screamed and fell off the ladder, convulsing all over.

Li Qing saw clearly that he was just pricked by a rose thorn. Not much blood flowed, but it seemed extremely painful.

Anderson didn't care and signaled other serfs to carry him away quickly.

Li Qing did not interfere in the affairs of the Green Rose Castle. He just quietly released a stream of Qingmu Zhenyuan to heal the serf's broken bone to the extent of a slight fracture.

He asked casually, "This rose thorn seems to be very painful. How do you usually use it?"

Anderson thought for a moment and said, "It can be roughly divided into three types: used as disposable arrows, used to squeeze juice to coat weapons, and used for torture."

Li Qing was a little surprised: "Why not make it into medicine?"

Anderson said matter-of-factly: "What's the point of making a potion? It can't improve your strength! Is it for self-torture?"

Li Qing was silent, thinking that the Green Rose Family's thinking was too rigid and their vision was a bit narrow.

Not to mention the unconventional practices of ascetics and monks, Li Qing can come up with more than a dozen combinations of elixir recipes just to strengthen the body and sharpen the spirit.

But he did not point it out, just smiled and said: "Then, Lord Viscount, can you give me some rose thorns?"

Anderson readily agreed and led him forward: "These rose thorns are of poor quality. I will discuss with Michelle and take some from its cordyceps."

Michelle is the name of the green rose elf. And its Cordyceps is the tallest woody rose tree in front.

It is over 20 feet tall, with not many flowers in bloom, but they are as big as millstones, and are quite intimidating when viewed from close up.

But Michel himself is a very shy little boy. The wings on his back are shaped like a cicada, and their flapping frequency is much faster than that of Acao's dragonfly wings and Chaoyin's butterfly wings.

It was taking a nap in the flower at the top of the Cordyceps sinensis. When it saw Li Qing from afar, it closed the flower into a bud with a "whoosh".

Li Qing shook his head and laughed: As a spiritual plant master who specializes in Qingmu Zhenyuan, this is the first time that he has been avoided by the elves.

Anderson was a little embarrassed and went up to the door and said, "Michelle, this tree shepherd is a distinguished guest of Green Rose Castle!"

Michelle was inside, muttering to herself and refusing to "open the door."

Anderson had no choice but to ask for advice through the petals: "The customer is very interested in your rose thorns, I'll pull out a few..."

Before he could finish his words, the woody rose Cordyceps shook violently, and most of the rose thorns fell to the ground like rain.

"Ah!" Anderson was caught off guard and was pricked several times by the rose thorns. He shivered in pain and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Thank you, little one!"

Li Qing smiled, used his spiritual sense to convey his thanks, then flicked his sleeves and put all the rose thorns on the ground into his storage bag.

The rose cordyceps shook again, shocking Anderson so much that he activated runes and retreated at least ten feet.

But this time, the rose thorn did not fall, and what floated down was a rose flower, as big as a palm, floating in front of Li Qing.

This flower actually has double petals, divided into three layers. The outer layer is sky blue, the middle is light green, the inside is grass green, and the innermost stamens are soft pink green.

The petals grow layer by layer, adding different patterns to the originally monotonous green color.

Li Qing suddenly thought: "Perhaps, it is not the Green Rose Elves who are unwilling to change, but the people living in Green Rose Castle!"

He took out a jade box and kept the beautiful green rose safely.

Then, he took out the Three Treasures Wonderful Tree, and used the Qingmu Zhenyuan to activate his minor magical power to cover the entire rose Cordyceps.

"Oh!" The green rose elf thanked excitedly in the flower bud.
