Chapter 76: Are you really planning to sell one [Wood Fruit]?
Tap, tap, tap. Zhao Nan came downstairs at the sound, half a cucumber clutched in her slender hand, her cheeks bulging. "Hmm~ When will he send over another batch of qualified [Golden Spirit Cages]?"
"Okay, let's do 10 this time, okay?" Yao Yao turned her face away from the phone and laughed, "Senior sister, he said he'll bring the [Golden Spirit Cage] over to pick them fresh later. Oh, he also asked if you can refine mutated fruits?"
Although alchemy is usually done by following a recipe, the principle of alchemy is nothing more than exploring the extraction patterns between spiritual fruits, emphasizing the synergistic properties of the main ingredient spiritual fruit, and reducing its negative effects.
Therefore, it is feasible to refine pills specifically for a particular mutated result. Perhaps a new formula can be developed from it, or an old formula can be improved.
However, such mutations are precious and cannot be cultivated by ordinary trainees. Jiang Qiu may have only asked on a whim.
Yao Yao mentioned it casually.
But Zhao Nan's voice was clear and calm, "What mutated fruit?"
"Um, he said... oh?" Yao Yao had just finished listening and relaying the information when she suddenly widened her eyes, frowning in disbelief. "Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly. You said [Wood Fruit]?!"
【Wood-Growing Fruit】 refers to the fruit of 【Wood Growth】, representing the ultimate transformation of the spiritual fruit's characteristics. It is one of the most precious mutation types, and can be considered a rare and priceless treasure.
After all, its effects are amazing, and no superior formula has been found yet. Most spiritual plant masters in the county may never be able to cultivate a second identical [Wood Fruit] in their entire lives. Each one is a rare and precious gem.
Jiang Qiu not only demonstrated it once during her internship assessment, but also used it to embark on the path of cultivation. Why is there an extra one now?
Yao Yao stood there, her mind blank, but Jiang Qiu's voice came calmly to her ears, "Yes, it's the [Wood Fruit]. If your shop is willing to buy it and refine it into pills, I'll bring it over later..."
"Give me the phone." Zhao Nan took the phone, and Jiang Qiu's voice faded into the distance, but lingered in Yao Yao's mind.
The phone clicked against his ear. Zhao Nan's jaw dropped, and he listened silently. "Are you really planning to sell a [Wood Fruit]?"
"Shop owner? Hmm, I just cultivated one."
"I remember the first spiritual seed you planted within your body was a Wood-Born Fruit from a Wood-Fate Flower. This Wood-Born Fruit is also from a Wood-Fate Flower. Wouldn't it be better to use it for a first-generation hybridization to advance to the Propagation Realm?"
Hearing this, Yao Yao muttered softly, "That's right, isn't this the ideal cultivation path for a spirit plant master? Planting [Wood Fruit] allows for the hybridization of [Wood Fruit] in the first generation."
"Such a rare achievement, instead of using it for crossbreeding and cultivation, he's selling it. Could it be that he lacks experience and has made a mistake... Waaah!"
Shh, Zhao Nan held half a cucumber to her lips, the sweet, cool breeze gently blowing on her face. She instinctively covered her mouth, and then heard Jiang Qiu's calm voice continue from the other end of the phone, "I can breed another one when we crossbreed."
"Huh?!" Yao Yao covered her mouth, her eyes widening like silver bells. This statement was truly shocking. How could it be possible?
However, Zhao Nan seemed thoughtful, a barely perceptible gleam flashing in his eyes. "So, you've already mastered the cultivation secrets of a [Wood-Growing Fruit], and given the right conditions, you can produce it consistently?"
"almost."
Are you familiar with its characteristics and effects?
"Well, if your store is willing to acquire it, I can compile its relevant information when I come, which will also make it easier to refine pills."
"We can discuss the acquisition price in person."
"it is good."
After the call ended, Kamu and Zhao Nan continued eating cucumbers, but chewed more slowly than before. Their eyes were clear and calm, as if they were deep in thought, and they murmured:
"His [Wood Fruit] might be used to improve [Awakening Pill], increase its yield, and optimize its awakening effect."
"Hiss, Senior Sister, he hasn't said what the properties are yet. How does he know it can improve the [Awakening Pill]?" Yao Yao asked curiously.
"【Wood Growth】represents the purest growth of wood-attribute spiritual energy. Its characteristics and effects far surpass those of spiritual fruits of the same level, are comparable to level 2 spiritual fruits, and in some aspects may even rival high-level spiritual fruits. It is enough to replace the original wood-attribute main ingredient of 【Awakening Pill】," Zhao Nan explained unhurriedly.
"But Senior Sister, [Wood Fruit] is very expensive! I heard Master say that he used to need Level 1 [Wood Fruit] to refine pills, and he bought just one from Director Jiang for over a million yuan, and that was a favor price!"
Yao Yao frowned, looking worried. "If Jiang Qiu sells it for that much, how much would the price of [Awakening Pill] have to go to make a profit?"
"Kam~ If the characteristics are not suitable, then there is no need to acquire them. But if the characteristics are like adding wings to a tiger, then they are priceless and should be sold at a higher price. The five major families are not short of money." Zhao Nan chewed on a cucumber and said calmly.
The five major families represent the five most populous surnames in the county, and the leading figures of various cultivation paths also come from among them. They almost monopolize the county's alchemy, array formation, cultivation, and martial arts routes, and money flows among them.
They certainly don't lack money.
Moreover, even though the [Awakening Pill] is currently priced at one million, there are still ordinary people who know about it lining up to buy it. Not to mention that those from wealthy and noble families who have inherited cultivation skills can easily take out one million.
Ordinary people who strive to become wealthy hope that their descendants will cultivate themselves spiritually.
Guangzong Yaozu.
Those who practice spiritual cultivation hope that their descendants will surpass them.
There are successors.
【Kaijue Dan】will never lack customers.
Thinking of this, Yao Yao's eyes lit up, then she sighed, "But Jiang Qiu was already very lucky to have cultivated a [Wood Fruit] once before, how could she possibly have mastered the secret to a stable yield? Perhaps..."
"Shh~ We'll know if there really is a [Wood Fruit] when Jiang Qiu arrives. In any case, Jiang Qiu will also bring 10 [Golden Spirit Cages] to prepare materials for refining the [Awakening Pill]," Zhao Nan said.
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Upon hearing the order, Yao Yao happily went to the cold storage to find materials for alchemy. Soon after, Jiang Qiu arrived as scheduled, carrying two potted plants covered with black cloth as she walked into the shop. She went up to him and suddenly sniffed.
"You're here. Oh, why do you smell so good?"
Before she could finish speaking, the other shop assistants all turned to look at her, their eyes filled with curiosity. Jiang Qiu smiled politely, "This is the fragrance emanating from the [Wood Fruit]. Where is the shop owner?"
"Swoosh~ Oh, Senior Sister, she's upstairs. I'll take you up." Yao Yao pursed her lips and led him upstairs, but her eyes kept glancing at the potted plants, filled with surprise and uncertainty.
On the third floor, in front of the alchemy room, "Senior Sister, Jiang Qiu is here."
Jiang Qiu greeted her with a smile, "Shop owner."
Zhao Nan sat in a chair, twirling a crystal-clear, top-quality fruit between her slender fingers. She turned to look at him and asked, "Did you bring it?"
"Hmm," two potted plants landed on the table. Jiang Qiu took out a slip of paper from his pocket. "This batch includes 10 [Golden Spirit Cages], 29 double-attribute superior Wood Edge Flowers and Fruits, and 1 [Wood Life Fruit] along with some of its characteristics and effects. Please estimate how much it's worth."
"Okay." Zhao Nan glanced at the outstanding [Wood Fruit], then his gaze fell on the slip of paper in his hand. *Click*, the high-grade fruit between his right fingertips slowly stopped spinning, and his eyes narrowed slightly...
