Chapter 119: Spirit Silkworm Evolution
"So how much did we get?"

When Fang Chen heard that there were top-grade spiritual grain seeds, he understood. This thing even had a certain effect on the cultivation of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. As long as he could get the seeds, spending ten thousand spiritual stones would be totally worth it.

"Fifty seeds, weighing 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 great job. Where are the seeds? Let me see what a first-grade, superior spiritual valley looks like."

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

All things are difficult at the beginning, and this is normal.

What Fang Chen was more interested in was 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 seeds is no different from ordinary rice seeds, but their color is as bright as gold.

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

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

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

Name: Golden Rice
Features: Gold Marrow
Golden marrow: It absorbs spiritual energy from heaven and earth during its growth process and converts it into golden spiritual marrow which is stored in the body.

"Golden marrow characteristics? It looks like a fusion of spiritual energy affinity characteristics and some other characteristics. So are higher-level spiritual plant characteristics all fused through spiritual energy affinity characteristics to create new characteristics?"

The information about the golden marrow rice made Fang Chen fall into deep thought.

Mainly thinking about issues related to the characteristics of spiritual plants.

The characteristics of many first-grade low-grade spiritual plants are affinity with spiritual energy, but the abilities they ultimately display are not the same.

For example, the blue silver flower used to refine the Huiling Pills and the Ganoderma lucidum used to refine the Juqi Powder both have aura affinity properties, but the former is more inclined to restore magic power, while the latter can be used to improve cultivation.

In essence, both release spiritual energy within the cultivator's body, so why is there such a difference?
According to Fang Chen's personal experience, after absorbing spiritual energy, Ganoderma lucidum will transform it into a state without attributes. After swallowing, it can be transformed into magic power of any attribute. Therefore, the elixir made with it is useful for cultivators of any spiritual root attribute.

Spiritual grains, spiritual fruits, and spiritual teas all have similar properties.

It is precisely because of this that they have become the mainstream choice to assist monks in their practice.

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

If you use this magic power 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 spaces on bamboo that are the same number as the bamboo nodes, while there is only one internal space on the ethereal grass.

It’s just that this change has not yet reached the level of a characteristic, so the characteristic itself has not changed.

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

"City Lord, is there any problem?"

Fang Chen had just figured this out when he heard Xu Qiyun's call.

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

"It's okay. Arrange people to germinate and sow these seeds as soon as possible. After planting, use herbal essence to ripen them so that you can expand the planting area as soon as possible."

Fang Chen also realized that now 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 actually testing it, it cannot be said that there is no effect, but it is not as powerful as Fang Chen imagined.

Xu Qiyun also conducted experiments in these two months.

If a cultivator at the first level of Qi training spends two hours every day practicing the Herbal 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.

Ultimately, it can increase the growth rate of spiritual plants by 10% and improve their quality.

However, compared to the effort put in, this little gain is not worth mentioning. As for practicing the Herbal Skill to a proficient level and directly plundering the essence of other spiritual plants, it is even more useless.

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

Not worth the candle.

The best application is actually in the restrictions of the Immortal Palace.

After being optimized by Lin Qingshan, the plant and wood runes in the immortal palace are running on their own every moment, condensing the essence of plants and trees.

This time when the spiritual silkworms were spinning cocoons, Lin Qingshan also refined an immortal palace for Xu Qiyun using the spiritual silk that was allocated to them.

There are now a lot of plant essences in the three people's immortal palaces.

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

It is used to ripen the seeds that Dian Chu brought back.

Good steel should be used on the blade.

Although the essence of plants and trees in the Immortal Palace cannot help too many spiritual plants grow, it can save them a lot of time in expanding their planting.

"clear."

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

"Then there's nothing to worry about. By the way, let me see the seeds of the yellow bud grass and the energy condensing grass."

After everything was discussed, Fang Chen was originally planning to let them go back and rest, but suddenly he thought of the two new spiritual plant seeds that Dian Chu brought back, and changed his mind.

Fang Chen had never seen any genuine first-grade, mid-range or high-grade spiritual plants. He wanted to see their characteristics, whether they were affinity with spiritual energy, or a combination of affinity with spiritual energy like golden marrow and their own characteristics.

"City Lord, please look."

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

Fang Chen also immediately used his spiritual sense to investigate.

Name: Yellow Bud Grass
Features: Aura Harmony
Harmony of spiritual energy: Absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during the growth process, and harmonize it within the body.

"Spiritual harmony?"

Just from the introduction, Fang Chen didn't quite understand what it meant to harmonize the spiritual energy. He silently memorized it in his mind and turned to the Qi Condensing Flower.

Name: Qi Condensation Flower
Features: Condensed Spirit
Refining spiritual energy: During the production process, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is absorbed and condensed in the body.

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

However, 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, so you should also rest quickly."

"Yes."

The three of them were very tactful and stood up and left side by side.

Before he had taken a few steps, Xu Qiyun suddenly took out his jade slip from his arms.

"what happened?"

Judging from the situation, someone contacted him. There are not many residents in Yuehua Fairy City at present. If someone contacted him 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 them look very strange. They reported it to me for fear that there might be some problems."

Xu Qiyun had also finished reading the information on the jade slip by this time, and when he heard Fang Chen's question, he immediately replied.

"Could it be that the spiritual silkworm has evolved?"

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