Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 8: Like a fish to water
In the blink of an eye, the end of the month is approaching.

"After brushing so many seeds, the first batch finally grew."

Chen Jing leaned against the three-meter-tall Yue Ning tree, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

The first batch of fast-growing Moon Condensing Trees totaled five plants. After being forced to grow, they finally reached maturity. Of course, the appearance was too unbearable to look at.

You know, it is also an ornamental tree species in the garden, and now it is comparable to the devil tree in Gray Wolf's house.

However, its focus is still on its economic value. The "condensate" extracted from the leaves can be used by monks in the Tongqiao stage to increase their cultivation and accelerate the condensation of spiritual orifices. If combined with alchemy, the effect will be even greater.

Chen Jing plucked all the leaves and put them in a basket. Looking at the Yue Ning tree, which became even uglier after its bald head, he shook his head secretly.

"A normal Moon Condensation Tree can harvest twice a year, so it should be no problem to harvest for twenty years. My accelerated version has already lost its ability to grow naturally. If I don't continue to accelerate its growth, it won't grow leaves. If it doesn't grow leaves, it will die in a few days."

But to let it grow naturally requires top-quality spiritual fields, careful management, and an additional three years.

Is there any future for farming?
It can be seen from the low efficiency that it is better to find a class to attend. Unfortunately, it is a luxury to work nowadays.

Feeling the hardship of farming, Chen Jingshun summoned the hybrid book.

[Moon Condensation Tree (100 stars) (Progress %)]

"Very good, we can breed now, but we haven't found a suitable match yet."

Chen Jing packed up his things and leisurely came to a mountain stream pool.

The lotus root lay on the water, its white and tender belly slightly rising and falling, and it was sleeping soundly; the surrounding green duckweed protected it in the center, and the blooming red lotus flowers dotted the pool.

"Xiaoman."

Hearing Chen Jing's call, the lotus root spirit subconsciously pulled over the wide lotus leaf next to it to cover itself, and sank into the water, leaving only a pair of bright and clear eyes to observe the outside world.

After discovering Chen Jing, it immediately showed a look of joy, bent into a crescent shape, and ran over on the water with a patter. It skillfully grabbed his trouser legs and quickly climbed to the top of his head and sat down.

"Aiya, aiya!" the lotus root spirit made a cheerful sound.

"I'm busy harvesting rice these two days, so I won't be here often. Please stay here and don't run around. Don't show your face if you meet strangers." Chen Jing reminded.

"ah?"

The lotus root spirit showed a puzzled look, grabbed the hair and asked in a babbling voice.

Chen Jing wasn't sure whether the beast could understand him, so he roughly explained that the spiritual plants he had planted were mature and needed to be harvested.

After getting the little guy, he asked his father how to feed him.

My father replied that whether or not a spirit can be kept alive depends entirely on whether it likes you. If it doesn't like you, it will try its best to escape. Even if you try to keep it by force, it will gradually lose its spirituality and eventually turn into a mortal creature.

On the contrary, if the monster likes you, it will not run away. Instead, it will cooperate with you and show its magical powers.

After seeing the little lotus root spirit sticking to Chen Jing so much, his father Chen Ding was puzzled. He thought he had encountered a monster that was naturally friendly. As a result, he wanted to come up to take a closer look, but he scared the little lotus root spirit away on the spot. It didn't come back until his father left.

Obviously, it was just simply close to Chen Jing.

Afterwards, Chen Jing found a beautiful pond on Qingniu Mountain to raise the fish and named it Mansui, which means harvest.

On weekdays, the little lotus root spirit does nothing but lie in the pool to bask in the sun, so Chen Jing calls him the sleeping king.

As for what magical properties the little lotus root spirit has, we don’t know yet. Maybe it helps you sleep better?
"Ey."

After listening to Chen Jing's words, Xiaoman thought for a moment, suddenly realized, pointed to the pool behind him, put his hands on his hips, and looked proud.

Chen Jing was puzzled.

Xiaoman frowned, jumped into the pond over his head, pulled a lotus flower with its roots, picked up a handful of floating green duckweed, and handed it to Chen Jing.

"Bah, bah, bah."

"For me?"

Chen Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took it and looked at it. Then his expression froze. A slight light appeared in his eyes. When he looked again, he saw the unique aura of the spiritual plant.

this? ?

This is actually a spiritual plant? !
When did spiritual plants grow? Isn't it just an ordinary small pond? He was stunned and called out the hybrid book.

[Micro Cloud Lotus (three stars) (unlock progress 1%)]

[Perennial aquatic herbaceous flower, rhizome grows horizontally, is thick, internodes are swollen, and there are many longitudinal ventilation holes inside, leaves are large, shield-shaped and round, and flowers are solitary at the top of the pedicel, high above the water surface, beautiful and fragrant. ]

[Lotus roots and lotus seeds are edible, and lotus seeds, rhizomes, lotus nodes, lotus leaves, etc. can all be used as medicine. ]

Tag 1: All the treasures in the body (green)
——The entire body of the spiritual plant has edible and medicinal value.

Tag 2: Wonderful scenery (green)
——It has special ornamental value, which can help people calm down and calm their inner demons.

"Fuck... trough."

Samsung!

The star rating refers to its value to cultivators. One star corresponds to the soul-enriching body, two stars correspond to the orifice-opening body, and three stars correspond to the top-grade precious medicine that is effective for the mysterious seal.

Let’s put it this way, precious medicines of this level are all grown by wealthy and powerful families themselves.

The vassal families in the outer city can only grow two-star spiritual plants at most.

Chen Jing looked at the Wei Yunlian in his hand, then at the pond, and finally at the little lotus root spirit, puffing out his chest and waiting to praise him.

Good guy.

It turns out that the King of Sleep does not just sleep.

"Good job, Xiaoman!"

"Hey~"

The little lotus root spirit raised his chin to the sky, and was very proud for a while. Then he found that Chen Jing didn't pay any attention to the duckweed he brought up, so he immediately handed the duckweed forward.

Eeyah Eeyah
Chen Jing's heart skipped a beat. Could this thing also be a spiritual plant?

Duckweed is a standard weed like cowgrass, except that one grows on the ground, and the other grows in water.

He used the Qi-gazing technique and saw subtle but clear fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from the duckweed.

[Spiritual Duckweed (1 star) (%)]

[It tastes spicy and is cold in nature. It enters the lung meridian and has the effects of sweating, relieving exterior symptoms, clearing rashes, promoting diuresis, reducing swelling and detoxifying. It is also a top-quality feed for livestock, grass carp and other fish species.]

Tag: Rapid reproduction (green)
——The reproduction speed and growth cycle are relatively fast.

"The water grass has turned into a spiritual plant!"

Chen Jing was shocked.

The spiritual beef tendon is grown from ordinary beef tendon grass that takes over the earth vein energy of Peiyuan rice. What makes you think so?
He looked at the little lotus root spirit and said, "Can you turn all the plants in the water into spiritual plants?"

"Yeeeeeeeeee~"

When the little lotus root spirit saw Chen Jing's shocked look, his little face suddenly became very proud. He patted his chest and pointed at the entire pool, saying that he did it all.

"Good, good, good. Xiaoman is to me like water is to a fish!"

"Yeah~"

The little lotus root spirit enjoyed it very much and nodded vigorously.

The lotus leaves on its head also swayed back and forth along with its little head.

Chen Jing rubbed its chubby little face and placed it on his shoulder. Now he looked at the pond as if it were a treasure.

"The leaves of the Moon Condensation Tree are harvested twice a year, but the growth rate of duckweed... I vaguely remember that it seems to be calculated on a daily basis."

Two big, bold and black characters come to mind.

A perfect match!
