Chapter 75: Senior Sister, Jiang Qiu finally called!
Jiang Qiu looked up, simultaneously holding up her phone screen, seemingly lost in thought. "I'm very grateful that you're willing to pay for it, but why is the transfer 20 more than 15?"
"I'm not just borrowing these fairies for half a month. If I don't order three more [Golden Spirit Cages] for them, what if they degenerate next month and can't crossbreed?" Jiang Qiao stubbornly turned her eyes away, her cheeks flushed, and bit her lower lip. "Anyway, I'll have to buy them from you in the future to afford to raise them."
Jiang Qiu chuckled. This superior recipe wasn't as good at making money as the first superior recipe, but the edible [Golden Spirit Cage] was just an accidental byproduct of the first-generation hybridization process, so it was still good to be able to sell it.
Moreover, hybridization often requires the cultivation of specific "Powder-Gathering Fairies." If Jiang Qiao uses her own "Golden Spirit Cage" to feed them, then the supply and demand relationship may be maintained for several years or even decades to come.
It's a slow and steady process.
He nodded and said, "Okay, then you'll be my second exclusive customer. Contact me if you run out of Golden Spirit Cage."
"It's a deal. We'll sign the exclusive supply agreement later."
A barely perceptible glint flashed in Jiang Qiao's eyes. She carefully put away the insect pouch, then cheerfully raised her head and turned back to say:
"By the way, weren't you planning to ask me to come into the inner courtyard today? After we sign the exclusive agreement, I'll ask my dad if we can transfer the temporary person in charge of the Blessing Basin position to you. Then you can freely enter and leave the inner courtyard."
"Of course, until it's redistributed to someone else in the 'Reproduction Struggle,' it's still considered a rental from me. You need to replenish those rare nutrient soil for me regularly. There are 35 units of rare nutrient soil left for the remaining five months!"
Every day, she goes to the logistics department's workshop to prepare nutrient soil. The rare nutrient soil she brushes out has almost filled the space next door. There are thousands upon thousands of them, so naturally, she won't be short 35 portions. But Jiang Qiu is curious:
"Alright, but five months isn't a short time. Aren't you planning to use the Blessed Basin to cultivate the Golden Spirit Lotus and improve your cultivation level yourself?"
"Hmm, the Blessed Basin is usually only available to the top three in the 'Reproduction Competition,' meaning it's specifically prepared for those in the 'Reproduction Realm.' Only level 2 spiritual plants can unlock their true value. My 'Golden Lotus' is only level 1, but planting it in suitable rare nutrient soil will yield about the same results."
Jiang Qiu remained noncommittal: "Doesn't it increase the mutation rate?"
"Tch, that's easy to say. The rare level 1 spiritual plant I've been cultivating since my internship hasn't shown any signs of mutation for six months. That's too long a wait. And there are only five months left until the 'Reproduction Struggle.' It's unlikely to bring about a qualitative change in such a short time, unless... the heavens smile upon us."
Jiang Qiao pouted and glanced over.
"That's true." Jiang Qiu smiled faintly. Even if the same spiritual plant is planted in the same blessed pot, the development results may be completely different. However, she has an optimization panel to assist her and can choose the bonus.
Soon after, he signed an exclusive supply agreement with Jiang Qiao, and then used the remaining [Powder-Gathering Fairy] to repeat the hybridization process, starting to cultivate new [Golden Spirit Arrow Cage] spirit seeds generation after generation, extracting rare characteristics.
Time flies. After cultivating five [Golden Spirit Arrow Cage] spirit seeds, the stored spiritual energy that could be freely used was exhausted. Jiang Qiu temporarily stopped hybridization and prepared to wait for the periodic harvest a month later before continuing to optimize.
Meanwhile, under Director Jiang's arrangement, he had successfully followed Jiang Qiao to the inner courtyard to switch to the temporary person in charge, retrieved the fourth-generation mother plant of the Wood Edge Flower, and promoted its growth in the cultivation room according to the "superior quality and abundant harvest" standard.
【延续上品配方思路，消耗320丝1级木属灵气、1500丝1级火属灵气，该母株固定培育出30颗双特性上品木缘花果......】
Thump! Thump! Thump! The green flower buds formed by the mother plant suddenly swelled up like popcorn, and 30 low-grade fruits that were about to be produced successively transformed into high-grade fruits, tightly embracing each other, and the flower branches trembled wildly.
As the fire subsided and the ashes drifted away, each pill revealed a jade-like texture, possessing both the common characteristics of "tripled wood-attribute spiritual energy metabolism rate" and "doubled success rate of producing high-grade level 1 pills," and simultaneously—
[This "top" triggers a mutation. Due to the effect of rare nutrient soil, this mutation can repeat the results of the previous mutation.]
[Imminent mutation, choose random optimization direction:]
【1. Extraction of Characteristics (Mutation)】
【2. Digestion Characteristics (Replicated Variation)】
3. Reproductive characteristics (variation)
After a month of treatment in the Fuze pot, the mutation rate of the mother plant reached 60%. Based on the effect of the rare nutrient soil, there is a 60% probability that the previous mutation will be replicated, which is in line with expectations.
The hybridization process requires the use of [Wood Fruit]. You don't need to look at option one or option three; just replicate the results of the previous mutation.
Jiang Qiu chose two options.
Whoosh! The entire plant was laden with top-quality fruit, which paled in comparison the moment the mutated fruit emerged. A blue light surrounded it, and the intoxicating fragrance of the fruit filled the entire cultivation room. The fairies rushed out in a swarm.
Jiang Qiu waved her hand, shooing them back into the incubator, and closed the lid. The buzzing continued inside, prompting a soft sigh.
"【Wood Growth】transforms the characteristics of Wood-related flowers and fruits to their individual extreme, becoming 【Wood Fruit】, which has a very high probability of awakening a Wood-type constitution. Simply using it for consumption should attract many people."
It is highly likely that digesting just one pill would allow one to awaken a wood-type physique later in life, whereas Jiang Qiao only managed to awaken a metal-type physique after consuming three million-dollar [Awakening Pills], which was even less effective.
In other words, if the [Wood Fruit] were sold to the public, it could fetch a price of over three million. Currently, the second-generation hybridization is not yet fully prepared and the [Wood Fruit] is not needed, so perhaps it is possible to sell one to test the waters.
After all, hybridization consumes too much spiritual energy. Currently, only 200 pots in the outer courtyard have been planted with [Wood Edge Flower] and [Fire Radiance Flower]. The spiritual energy of the other three types is difficult to replenish. The essential water-type spiritual energy cannot always be obtained through conversion.
To make more money, we need to rent more potted plants in the garden.
Only by laying a solid foundation can one go far on the path of spiritual practice.
......
In the underground market, at a purchasing shop, the phone on the counter rang. Yao Yao sighed, "Another push for the [Awakening Pill]?"
The Kaijue Pill has been on the market for less than two months, with very low production. The news was originally only circulating within the circle of spiritual plant masters, and only a few influential lineages in the county town could place priority orders, mainly the Jiang family.
However, since the internship assessment ended a month ago, more and more people have heard that the [Awakening Pill] helped Jiang Qiao awaken the [Golden Spirit Cage Body] after birth, and even began to believe that she had a chance to awaken a rare physique, so they have all come to visit.
But where can you find so much production?
In the past two months, the Jiang, Lu, Zhao, Jin and Liu families, along with their respective factions, have been researching the superior formula for the [Golden Spirit Cage]. It possesses many rare characteristics, but unfortunately, Senior Sister's attempts to use it have only resulted in failed refining.
So far, only Jiang Qiu's results are usable.
But that person can only provide a maximum of 10 per month.
The results for this month haven't been delivered yet.
Several assistants of major clients called...
Thinking about all this, Yao Yao looked tired, but the next second her gaze fell on her phone screen, where she saw the contact pinned to the top, with the note "Jiang Qiu, breeder of Golden Spirit Cage No. 1," and her eyes widened instantly—
"Senior sister, Jiang Qiu finally called!"
