Chapter 70: Rare Breeding Characteristics
[Consumes 500 strands of level 1 wood elemental energy, converted into 100 strands of level 1 water elemental energy]
Following the cultivation notes, 100 strands of level 1 water-attribute spiritual energy were injected into the "Golden Spirit Cage" mother plant to "store its essence."
[Optimization direction should be chosen according to the specific planting conditions:]
[1. Prevents the loss of essence from the mother plant's fruit for 100 days]
2. Continuously reduces mother plant instability by 100%
[3. Prevents the loss of the target fruit's essence for 30 days, while maintaining 0% instability and no longer being negatively affected by the mother plant.]
Option one doesn't solve the problem. Options two and three seem to have similar effects, but there's only one edible fruit at the moment, so there's no need to specifically reduce the instability of the mother plant. Option three is fine.
The third one also combines the advantages of the first two.
Jiang Qiu decisively chose three.
With a whoosh, hundreds of strands of azure spiritual energy condensed within the "Golden Spirit Cage" in the dantian. Then, like wringing out damp firewood, they squeezed out wisps of moisture, which gathered into a wisp of pure blue spiritual energy, which transformed into a cool breeze at the fingertips and was blown out.
Whoosh! The branches and leaves of the Golden Spirit Cage trembled, and white frost condensed on the stem of the only top-grade fruit. Crack, it broke in the middle, and with a thud, it fell down. The red light of the fruit core faded, and the Powder-Gathering Fairies swarmed forward.
Jiang Qiu picked up the fruit and placed it in the incubator next to her, letting the [Powder-Gathering Fairies] continue to eat it. This process would probably take several weeks, so there was no need to rush. For now, they could continue researching the new characteristics.
Following the same method, he consumed another 100 strands of fire-attribute spiritual energy to create a superior fruit, but it still had ordinary properties, so he had no choice but to continue with the same approach.
Another fruit with the [Metal Food] characteristic was cultivated, and 500 strands of wood elemental energy were converted into [Storage Essence] and thrown into the box as a reserve food.
When it was the third person's turn to "top up," a panel popped up, and a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Qiu's eyes. The option she wanted had arrived—
[Following the mid-grade recipe approach, a path to a superior-grade fruit will appear during cultivation, which can consume 100 strands of level 1 fire elemental energy to further "upgrade" to a level 1 metal spirit plant, "Golden Spirit Cage".]
[Consumes 100 strands of level 1 fire elemental energy]
【Top Tier 1 Metal Spirit Plant "Golden Spirit Cage"】
[Imminent transformation; due to the bonus from rare nutrient soil, a rare option is available this time. Select the optimization direction:]
[1. Refining effect doubled (pre-ordered rarity)]
[2. Digestion effect doubled (pre-ordered rare)]
[3. Doubled breeding results (pre-ordered rare)]
This rare nutrient soil enhances the chance that when a rare spirit seed produces a superior fruit, there is a 33% chance of generating a customizable rare optimization option. If it appears on the third try, your luck isn't bad, and it's better than nothing at all.
Perfect timing! We can choose three options and see if any of them are favorable for hybridization. Without hesitation, Jiang Qiu decisively chose three!
Boom! A burst of flame erupted from the base of the last fruit, and the surrounding grass blades, like hair, bent and clung to it, reweaving and spiraling, drastically altering their shape—
【Golden Spirit Cage】The mother plant is made of twisted grass leaves. Originally, it looked like three yellow braids with thick bases and fine, curved ends. Now, the other two braids, which have lost their fruit, are converging towards the middle.
They intertwined into a thicker, yellow braid.
A spiral fruit hangs from the end.
A continuous stream of the best.
The yellow light turned reddish, and the instability increased rapidly.
Jiang Qiu frowned, then converted another 100 strands of water-elemental spiritual energy and used it to [store essence] the mother plant, clearing away its instability. Once it stabilized, she took a closer look and thought, "It can only bear one fruit from now on?"
[Cultivated a superior-grade Golden Spirit Cage Fruit]
【Characteristic 1: A single offspring (rare)】
[Effect: During metabolism, all metallic spiritual energy converges on the unique fruit, greatly enhancing its reproductive ability. When this fruit is planted as a spiritual seed, it will also produce a single seedling. However, during subsequent cultivation, it can more easily hybridize and absorb metallic stamen pollen and its characteristics.]
[This cultivation path is included, upgrading the original intermediate recipe to a superior recipe. It can consume corresponding resources to stably cultivate superior fruits with the rare trait of "one-of-a-kind". At the same time, it can continue to be cultivated and optimized.]
In other words, the [Golden Spirit Cage] with this rare characteristic has become a single lineage, with the pistil in a dominant position, making it easier to accept pollination from the stamens of other metal spirit plants, thus producing a unique and high-quality offspring.
Hybridization has always prioritized quality over quantity. Even one fruit is quite good, as it embodies the essence of the entire mother plant. After sowing, the fruit produced is equivalent to three fruits, making it superior to the current generation in every aspect.
Moreover, this rare characteristic directly determines the pollination direction; when cultivating the [Golden Arrow], only the stamens need to be retained, and the pistils should be discarded.
So, Jiang Qiu selected two more portions from hundreds of rare nutrient soils and put them into rubber containers.
One of the pots can break through the limit of rare metal spirit plant spiritual energy gathering, making the fruit fuller, and can be used to plant a single fruit seedling.
The other pot can increase the production of rare metal spirit plants. Use it to grow [Golden Spirit Arrow], starting with the common low-grade recipe.
[Plant a Level 1 Rare Metal Spirit Seed "Golden Spirit Arrow"]
[Gain additional bonuses from rare Tier 1 nutrient soil]
[Select bonus direction: Fruit quality can reach medium grade]
[Estimated ripening time: 180 days]
......
Time flies, and a month passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Qiu handed over the work of taking care of the flower stand area to Yang Zhilan, and also officially handed over the work of helping Zhang San and Li Si sell their harvest. All she needed to do was prepare the nutrient soil.
They then accumulated a large sum of money and a sufficient reserve of spiritual energy, enough for a single hybridization.
At the same time, I regularly go to the training center to listen to Wu Shan's lectures, learn more about spiritual practice, and acquire more experience and case studies about hybridization.
Then, back at his residence, he continued to cultivate the [Golden Spirit Arrow] and a single [Golden Spirit Cage], preparing to induce birth and pollinate it before grafting it.
However, at this moment, the fourth-generation mother plant of the Wood Edge Flower will produce fruit, so we should first find Jiang Qiao to enter the inner courtyard and harvest the fruit.
Knock knock, Jiang Qiu called out to Jiang Qiao's door. "Jiang Qiao, do you have time now? I'm planning to go into the inner courtyard today..."
With a creak, the door suddenly opened, and Jiang Qiao stood dejectedly in the doorway, holding a pinch of white crumbs in her chubby hands:
"I just broke through to the [Growth Realm], and the rare [Powder-Gathering Fairy] died, disrupting my cultivation plan. Could you wait until I've dealt with this before taking you in?"
If the training plan is disrupted, it means that the cultivation process is aborted. If we don't seize the time to salvage it, one wrong step may lead to another, and we may have to start all over again. At this time, we will naturally feel very depressed and anxious.
It wouldn't be good to trouble her any further.
Unfortunately, the temporary person in charge of the Fukuzawa Basin, who is registered under his real name, cannot be transferred at will. Although I have a rental agreement, it falls under the category of private transactions.
On the surface, she is still the person in charge of the Fuze Basin.
Only she has the authority to bring people into the inner courtyard.
Jiang Qiu sighed inwardly, but glancing at the dead insects in his palm, another thought arose in her mind. She asked curiously, "It's alright, but didn't the director arrange it? How did they die?"
