Chapter 119: Spiritual Silkworm Evolution

"So how much did we get?"

When Fang Chen heard that there were first-grade spiritual valley seeds, he understood that this thing even had a certain effect on the cultivation of foundation-building cultivators. As long as he could get the seeds, it would be worth spending 10,000 spiritual stones.

"Fifty seeds, about two taels."

Dian Chu knew this best, after all, he was the one who talked to the Wang family and answered for Xu Qiyun.

"You did a good job. Where are the seeds? Let me see what a first-grade spiritual valley looks like."

Fifty seeds are indeed a little less. According to the ten-month growth cycle of a first-grade spiritual valley, it would take at least one or two years to cultivate it to the point where it can supply the entire Yuehua Immortal City.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and this is also a very normal thing.

Fang Chen is more interested in the characteristics of this golden marrow rice.

Fang Chen's request would certainly not be rejected. Dian Chu had already handed over everything to Xu Qiyun, so Xu Qiyun opened the storage bag and took out a golden marrow rice seed.

The appearance of the seed is no different from that of ordinary rice seeds, but the color is as bright as gold.

If you don't look carefully, you will think that this seed is a model made of gold.

If you feel it carefully, you can also feel that it is slowly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

After observing the appearance, Fang Chen covered it with spiritual thoughts.

Name: Golden Marrow Rice

Characteristics: Golden Marrow

Golden Marrow: Absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during growth, and converts the spiritual energy into golden spiritual marrow and stores it in the body.

"Golden marrow characteristics? It looks like a fusion of spiritual energy affinity characteristics and some characteristics, so are the characteristics of higher-level spiritual plants fused through spiritual energy affinity characteristics to form new characteristics?"

The information of Golden Marrow Rice made Fang Chen fall into deep thought.

Mainly thinking about issues related to spiritual plant characteristics.

The characteristics of many first-level low-grade spiritual plants are spiritual energy affinity, but the abilities they show in the end are not the same.

For example, the blue silver flower used to refine Huiling Pills and the Ganoderma Lucidum used to refine Juqi Powder are both spiritual energy affinity characteristics, but the former is more inclined to restore mana, while the latter can be used to improve cultivation.

In essence, they both release spiritual energy in the body of the cultivator, why is there such a difference?

According to Fang Chen's personal experience, after absorbing spiritual energy, Lingzhi grass will transform it into a state without attributes. After swallowing, it can be transformed into mana of any attribute. Therefore, the elixir made from it is useful for cultivators of any spiritual root attribute.

Like spiritual grains, spiritual fruits, and spiritual tea, they all have similar properties.

It is precisely because of this that they can become the mainstream choice for assisting cultivators in their practice.

In contrast, the spiritual energy absorbed by blue silver flowers will become extremely unstable and can be quickly transformed into mana, but this mana is very violent and needs to be released out of the body as soon as possible.

If you use this mana to break through the realm, it will only damage your meridians.

The changes of spiritual energy inside the spiritual plant depend on the spiritual plant itself.

Just like the square inch space characteristic can form a space with the same number of bamboo nodes on bamboo, while there is only one internal space on the empty spiritual grass.

It's just that this change has not yet reached the level of characteristics, so the characteristics themselves have not changed.

The characteristics of the golden marrow are like the changes of the spiritual energy affinity characteristics on spiritual plants such as the golden marrow rice, and this change can be regarded as a new characteristic, so it merges with the spiritual energy affinity characteristics to form a new characteristic.

"City Lord, is there any problem?"

Fang Chen just guessed this step and heard Xu Qiyun's call.

He saw Fang Chen staring at the seeds of the golden marrow rice without saying anything, so he reminded him.

"It's okay, you should arrange people to germinate and sow these seeds as soon as possible, and use plant essence to ripen them after planting, so as to expand the planting area as soon as possible."

Fang Chen also realized that this was not the time to think about these things, so he came back to his senses and explained the next task to Xu Qiyun.

Speaking of plant essence, he originally thought that this thing could significantly increase the growth rate of spiritual plants.

However, after the actual experiment, it cannot be said that there is no effect, but it is not as powerful as Fang Chen imagined.

Xu Qiyun has also done experiments in the past two months.

If a cultivator at the first level of Qi training spends two hours a day to perform the Herb Skill to condense the essence of plants, and uses all of it on the same spiritual plant, and continues for the entire growth cycle of the spiritual plant.

In the end, the growth rate of the spiritual plant can be increased by 10%, and the quality is also better.

However, compared with the effort, this gain is not worth mentioning.

As for practicing the Herb Skill to a proficient level, it is even more useless to directly plunder the essence of plants from other spiritual plants.

It takes the essence of plants from a hundred mature spiritual plants to accelerate the growth of a single spiritual plant from a seed.

The gain does not outweigh the loss.

The best application is in the restriction of the Immortal Mansion.

After Lin Qingshan's optimization, the Herb Skill runes in the Immortal Mansion are running on their own every moment, condensing the essence of plants.

This time when the spiritual silkworms spun cocoons, Lin Qingshan also refined an Immortal Mansion for Xu Qiyun, using the silk of the spiritual silkworms that were allocated to them.

There are now a lot of plant essences in the Immortal Mansions of the three people.

They also followed Fang Chen's instructions and did not use the essence of plants elsewhere, but collected them.

It was to ripen the seeds that Dian Chu brought back.

Good steel should be used on the blade.

Although the essence of plants in the Immortal Mansion could not help too many spiritual plants grow, it could save them a lot of time to expand their planting.

"Understood."

These things had been discussed long ago, and Xu Qiyun knew what to do, so he responded to Fang Chen immediately.

"Then there's nothing to do. By the way, let me see the seeds of the yellow bud grass and the gas-condensing grass."

After all the discussions were over, Fang Chen was originally going to let them go back to rest, but suddenly he thought of the two new spiritual plant seeds that Dian Chu brought back, so he changed his mind.

Fang Chen had not seen many genuine first-level medium-grade and high-grade spiritual plants, and wanted to see their characteristics, whether they were spiritual energy affinity, or a combination of spiritual energy affinity like the golden marrow and their own characteristics.

"City Lord, please take a look."

Xu Qiyun immediately took out the two seeds from the storage bag.

Fang Chen also immediately used his spiritual thoughts to explore.

Name: Yellow Bud Grass

Characteristics: Spiritual Energy Harmony

Spiritual Energy Harmony: Absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during growth, and harmonize the spiritual energy in the body.

"Spiritual Energy Harmony?"

From the introduction alone, Fang Chen didn't quite understand what it meant to harmonize spiritual energy, so he kept it in mind and turned to the gas-condensing flower.

Name: Condensed Qi Flower

Features: Spiritual Qi Condensation

Spiritual Qi Condensation: Absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during the production process, and condense the spiritual energy in the body.

Unlike the characteristics of the golden marrow, the characteristics of these two spiritual plants are more like some kind of evolution of spiritual energy affinity, rather than the fusion of other characteristics.

But now is not the time for research. Fang Chen replaced these three characteristics with his own characteristics, and then said to Xu Qiyun and the other two: "Put away these three seeds. It's getting late, and you should also rest quickly."

"Yes."

The three people were also very tactful, and they stood up and left side by side.

Before they took a few steps, Xu Qiyun suddenly took out his son jade slip from his arms.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at this situation, someone contacted him. There are not many residents in Yuehua Fairy City at present. If they contacted at this time, it might be an emergency, so Fang Chen also asked.

"The person in charge of raising silkworms and reeling silk said that a new batch of silkworm eggs have hatched, but dozens of silkworms look very strange. They reported it to me in case there is a problem."

Xu Qiyun also finished reading the information on the jade slip at this time, and immediately replied when Fang Chen asked.

"Could it be that the silkworms have evolved?"

Fang Chen and Lin Qingshan looked at each other. In Yuehua Fairy City, the two of them knew the most about the things in the cultivation world, and they immediately thought of this possibility.
