Chapter 85: Yao Yao's Admiration
At the same time, the store was acquired.
"Oh, it's a level 2 [Spirit Cultivation Pill] with both metal and wood attributes. It can be refined, but the county doesn't have a systematic application of this high-grade formula, so no one cultivates the required spiritual fruits. The cost will be much higher than other similar pills. It's estimated to be 200,000 for a high-grade pill. How many do you want?" Yao Yao asked.
Once you enter the [Proliferation Realm], level 1 spiritual energy can only serve to sustain the spiritual plants within your body, and it is basically unable to promote their growth. In other words, without consuming level 2 spiritual energy as nutrients, your cultivation level will stagnate.
The method taught by Director Jiang requires that all spiritual energy of level 1 or above that is digested during the cultivation process must have dual attributes. Therefore, choosing to consume level 2 [Spirit Cultivation Pill] for cultivation also requires meeting this condition.
Although it is possible to directly use [Daily Accumulation of Gold] to spontaneously fuse spiritual energy that meets the requirements, the consumption is too great, especially after awakening [Springtime Wood Sprout], when the body's metabolic rate spontaneously doubles.
That is, 1000 strands of level 2 metal and wood dual-attribute spiritual energy are needed every 6 months, averaging about 167 strands of level 2 spiritual energy per month, which can be converted into 1.67 strands of level 1 spiritual energy, exceeding half of the entire [Growth Habitat]'s requirements...
Thinking of this, Jiang Qiu stared at the small porcelain bottle in his hand. It emitted a faint fragrance of elixir and glowed with a bluish-yellow light. It was a sample that Director Jiang had asked the shop to prepare in advance. He had already prepaid for the alchemy fee. "I'll try it out first."
Am, swallowed it in one gulp.
[Consuming a Grade 2 "Spirit Cultivation Pill"]
[Provide nutrients for the internal spiritual plants]
[Given the inherent properties of high-grade elixirs, this nutrient will definitely receive a corresponding bonus, belonging to both metal and wood elements—]
[Effect: It continuously replenishes the body with 10 strands of level 2 dual-attribute spiritual energy from the spiritual plants, which can withstand the consumption of wood-attribute spiritual energy from "wood-born spiritual plants" for two days. After digestion, it is equivalent to reducing the estimated fusion period by 12 days.]
(Note: Due to metabolic limitations, only 1 capsule can be taken every two days.)
One pill every two days, and you only need to consume it for 180 days to reach the [Propagation Realm] perfection. This will save you a lot of spiritual energy, which can be used entirely for second-generation hybrid resident spiritual plants, fully preparing for the "Propagation Battle".
Meanwhile, in the park's Level 2 Pill Storage, some high-grade wood-type Spirit Cultivation Pills are priced at over 10 per pill. The materials for dual-type Spirit Cultivation Pills are even harder to obtain, and the refining process is more difficult. At 20, they are a very reasonable price.
Worth buying.
Jiang Qiu's eyes lit up. As the sweat from her metabolism evaporated into mist and her forearm muscles deepened, she calmly caught her breath. "I order 15 of these top-grade level 2 [Spirit Cultivation Pills] every month."
"Hmm... Ah?" Yao Yao's eyes widened suddenly. Even a cultivator with a wealthy family could only digest a maximum of 10 Level 2 [Spirit Cultivation Pills] a month, since their metabolism couldn't keep up. Moreover, dual-attribute pills were even more difficult to digest.
They're not planning to resell some of it privately at a high price, are they?
She turned back hesitantly. "Senior sister, is this okay?"
"Crunch~" Zhao Nan sat behind his desk, took a bite of cucumber, and calmly observed the changes in Jiang Qiu after she swallowed the Level 2 [Spirit Cultivation Pill]. "Not bad, strong metabolism, rapid realm improvement, naturally more demand for nutrients."
"Oh, right," Yao Yao scribbled in her notebook, then turned back and said solemnly, "So, if you calculate it this way, you'll need to pay 300 million in cash every month, while the total cost of acquiring the spirit fruit is 303.8 million. Do you plan to deduct that, or pay it separately?"
Since it can be deducted, there is no need to pay extra. However, since there is no extra income here, the 300 pots in the park cannot be renewed. So Jiang Qiu took out a fruit wrapped in a plastic bag from her pocket.
"I'll deduct it, but I recently used the [Golden Spirit Cage] to hybridize and created a new product, the [Golden Spirit Arrow Cage]. Shopkeeper, you can try to see if this one can be used to refine the [Awakening Pill]. If it can, please provide further information."
【Golden Spirit Arrow Cage (First Generation Hybrid)】
【Trait 1: Exclusive Material (Rare)】
【Trait 2: Potential for Success (Rare)】
[Effect: When used in alchemy and other activities, it greatly increases the probability of pill formation, reaching the theoretical output limit. At the same time, the metal effects of the pills are significantly improved. For example, the "Awakening Pill" increases the probability of awakening a metal physique.]
During the first generation of hybridization, dozens of rare traits emerged one after another. Among them, one of the [Golden Arrow] happened to draw the [Talent for Success (Rare)] trait, so it was hybridized with [Golden Cage] to create a dual trait.
It is worth mentioning that this hybridization path does not have the restriction of single-line inheritance. The paternal and maternal classes are exactly the opposite. The maximum yield of the top-grade fruit of the [Golden Spirit Arrow Cage] is expected to reach 30, which is comparable to the mother plant of the [Wood Edge Flower].
If used to refine the [Awakening Pill].
This one plant alone can cover the cost of elixirs.
The "proliferation debate" has a deeper foundation.
Jiang Qiu handed the first fruit she had cultivated to Zhao Nan.
Meanwhile, Yao Yao sniffed, rubbed her eyes, and stared at the fruit, muttering, "The fragrance is so intense it's like amber, the surface texture is clearly visible, with overlapping layers inside and out—a rare characteristic, and it even has two characteristics... Ah?!"
She stood there stunned. Rare traits are precious in themselves, and dual traits require long-term accumulation and refinement to be passed down through generations. How could Jiang Qiu have achieved such results today, having just broken through to the [Procreation Realm]?
Holding the tiny, bell-shaped fruit in his hand, Zhao Nan's eyes brightened slightly. He said regretfully, "The other materials I ordered for refining the [Awakening Pill] haven't arrived yet, so I can't refine it for the time being. How about leaving the fruit here until I start the furnace?"
"Okay, let's wait for the shop owner's message."
Jiang Qiu smiled slightly, revealed some information about the production of her [Golden Spirit Arrow Cage], signed an order for pills, and then took her leave.
After he left, Yao Yao frowned, looking at the fruit with surprise and doubt. "Senior sister, how... how was this cultivated? The batch of qualified fruits that the Jin family sent a couple of days ago only had one rare trait!"
"I'm not a spirit plant master, how would I know how he did it?" Zhao Nan examined the fruit at his fingertips, a hint of the wonder of moss flowers blooming when they meet water flashing in his eyes. "But this is more suitable than the Jin family's."
"Huh? Jiang Qiu's talent for nurturing is that high? As an intern, she was the first to develop the rare formula for the [Golden Spirit Cage]. As soon as she started her apprenticeship, she was producing a stable [Wood Fruit] every month. She even helped you, Senior Sister, improve it into the [Wood Spirit Awakening Pill]. Various companies held meetings to bid for it, and now..."
Yao Yao took a deep breath, her expression dazed. "Senior Sister, could it be that I can help you improve another advanced-level pill formula?"
"Crunch~" Zhao Nan took a bite of cucumber. "The individual effect of the Golden Spirit Arrow Cage cannot compare with that of the Wood Fruit, but it is already an outstanding level 2 spirit fruit embryo. The possibility of improving a level 2 pill formula is not low."
Upon hearing this, Yao Yao's eyes flashed with admiration. Previously, her senior sister had successfully improved the Wood Spirit Awakening Pill using the Wood Fruit. The first pill was sold, which successfully awakened the Wood physique and shocked the Pill Garden.
Various factions sent people to visit, and even held a meeting to discuss the allocation of quotas for the [Wood Spirit Awakening Pill]. In particular, the Jiang family, known for its wood-related heritage, was at odds with the Jin family due to old grudges, and once bid up to the standard of high-grade pills, with each pill indirectly worth millions.
If only another advanced-grade pill formula were available...
Thump thump, Yao Yao's heart skipped a beat.
Looking at Jiang Qiu's departing figure outside the building, her gaze held a hint of admiration for her senior sister, mixed with an indescribable longing.
