Chapter 20: Opening up a "Heart Field" within the Body
"Uh-huh," Yao Yao organized her thoughts, pursed her lips, and said, "You mean the level 1 spirit seed for refining new pills? That's a rare spirit seed that Senior Sister brought back from Yelang City. There's no way to buy it in the county, Senior Sister..."
"Hmm," Zhao Nan said, taking a bite of the tender cucumber. The fresh and fragrant aroma burst between her lips and teeth. Her voice was as clear and crisp as ever. "The talent to cultivate a top-grade fruit with two characteristics is worth supporting."
"Kam~" She glanced at the top-quality fruits in the food storage box. "You can come and select spirit seeds. If you find that their characteristics are suitable, some rare spirit seeds can also be opened for you to cultivate, but you will need to sign an exclusive supply agreement."
"how?"
Rare spirit species are rarely seen in the market, and have never been seen in greenhouses. They have always been supplied only through private channels, and it is impossible to get involved without resources and background.
Although some spirit seeds are of low grade, they may be indispensable auxiliary materials for certain high-grade pills. Due to the need for secrecy, they must be exclusively supplied, which is why they are called rare.
Of course, the spirit seeds that require a special supply agreement also need to be cultivated using a secret recipe, making them much more difficult to cultivate than common spirit plants such as the [Wooden Flower].
For people at the bottom of society, any special agreement is priceless and invaluable.
As for limiting future development?
We must have a future before we can talk about development.
Jiang Qiu's eyes narrowed. "Alright!"
Zhao Nan nodded, munching on a cucumber, and soon had Yao Yao bring him a cooperation contract, adding clauses about special agreements to it.
Jiang Qiu toured the exhibits, noting the details about the benefits of fruit purchasing and the supply of spirit seeds—
I am a free supplier in the purchasing store. I do not have requirements on the quantity or type of supply. I can sell any product I have in store, and the highest price will be the reference.
The prerequisite is that the quality meets the standards.
If you successfully advance to the rank of Apprentice Spirit Plant Master, you can apply to upgrade the cooperation mode, cultivate fruits in exchange for Yi Dan Garden pills, and use them to help you cultivate and increase production.
Valid for a long time.
With swift, flowing strokes, Jiang Qiu signed his name: "A pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Jiang Qiu. The 14600 yuan has been transferred to your account. Also, here is this porcelain bottle containing the top-grade [Heart Field Elixir]."
With a smile, Yao Yao put away the contract and handed over a delicate, antique-style porcelain bottle.
"By the way, according to the regulatory bureau's regulations, [Xintian Dan] cannot be taken away without permission. It must be taken on-site by the winner of the award."
"Mm." Jiang Qiu accepted the porcelain bottle.
Click. The stopper was pulled open, and a pearl-like pill was poured into the palm of the hand. It had a warm and smooth texture, and its surface reflected a luster, revealing an air of elegance and luxury.
It has a natural fragrance and is considered a superior product.
Genuine, top-quality Xintian Dan!
His eyes lit up. "Can't I just take it directly? No need to use spiritual energy to refine it?"
"No need, it melts in your mouth."
"it is good."
"Ah," Jiang Qiu tossed the pill into his mouth. Instantly, it melted like snow in water, a cool sensation sliding down his throat. His consciousness sank, and a control panel appeared—
[Consuming the superior-grade "Heart Field Pill"]
【Cultivating a "heart field" within the body】
[Given the inherent properties of high-grade elixirs, this "Heart Field" has a high probability of receiving rare bonuses. Optimization direction chosen:]
【1. Reduce expenditures while raising children】
[Effect: After planting the spiritual seed within the body, the consumption of spiritual energy is reduced by 50% when using properties such as "Growth" and "Ascension".]
2. Shared Prosperity (Rare)
[Effect: After planting a spiritual seed within the body, all spiritual seeds of the same attribute and level will grow synchronously]
【3. Infinitely scarce (rare and varied)】
[Effect: After planting the spiritual seed within the body, the corresponding spiritual plant within the body will be unable to produce fertile fruits, but the mother plant can be infinitely selected and iterated.]
Buzz, deep in my mind, in a hazy, dreamlike scene, a square yellow field was created, and three panel options floated in the center of this private little world, two of them rare options!
The [Heart Field] characteristic accompanies one throughout life and is related to the entire future path of cultivation. Naturally, the rarer it is, the better. There is no need to consider the first option.
The "One Glory, All Glory (Rare)" skill is enough to make a huge leap forward in the cultivation of spirit plant masters, especially those who cultivate a single attribute. As long as one of their spirit plants undergoes a transformation, all of the same level and attribute will also undergo a transformation.
Especially in the middle and later stages, as the [Heart Field] expands larger and larger, the number of spiritual plants that can be planted within the body increases and becomes increasingly rare. The benefits of achieving enlightenment through planting one plant and ascending the entire clan to heaven will be greatly expanded!
The mere thought was tempting, but Jiang Qiu suppressed her impulse, lowered her gaze, and frowned as she stared at the third option:
"The option of mutation means sacrificing some things in exchange for even greater gains in other areas. Is it worth it to infinitely select and iterate the mother plant?"
The regular high school classes didn't teach any knowledge about spiritual practice. When I interned at the Nine Plant Garden, I was only given a few basic materials on the cultivation and care of Level 1 spiritual plants. Based solely on common sense, it was difficult to judge the pros and cons.
It is said that the most obvious difference between a spirit plant master and a plantation worker is that one grows spirit plants inside the body and the other grows them outside the body. The higher the level and the more numerous the spirit plants grown, the stronger the skill.
The two options fit this pattern of becoming stronger.
It has extremely high potential.
But what if the three options have higher potential?
This concerns my future, so I must be careful.
There are currently no spiritual seeds within the body to be sown.
Even if you choose the feature, there is no real benefit.
Perhaps it's better to wait until you become an apprentice plant master.
Choose a practice method first, then make a decision.
Composing himself, Jiang Qiu snapped out of his reverie within his [Heart Field], temporarily setting aside the optimization options. His scattered gaze sharpened, and he rose with a smile:
"Thank you for organizing this event. My 'heart's field' is now fully opened. I have friends waiting for me outside, so I won't stay any longer. See you next time."
"Click~ Goodbye."
See you next time.
Watching Jiang Qiu leave, Yao Yao frowned and sighed softly, "Sigh, Senior Sister, the Heart Field he opened with the superior-grade Heart Field Pill is actually quite ordinary, without even the slightest trace of its special characteristics?"
Snap! Zhao Nan took a bite of the cucumber in her right hand, resting her chin on her left, her warm cheeks throbbing in her palm. "Hmm~ At least she has some talent for nurturing, and her mentality is pretty good. She's content with what she has."
Yao Yao said regretfully, "It's a pity he doesn't have any talent for cultivation. His [Heart Field], which lacks any special characteristics, will progress much slower than others. He might remain stagnant as an apprentice for the next few decades, and will almost never be able to advance to a Spirit Plant Master. There's no need to add a special agreement to the contract for him..."
"Hmm~" Zhao Nan chewed the last small piece of cucumber, rubbing his fingers together, the moist dew seeping into his skin. "Those with potential should always be given opportunities, especially since cultivation values mindset even more. How did things go with that contestant who maliciously reported us?"
"Qian Cheng?" Yao Yao paused. "Oh, Supervisor Mo has stripped him of his ranking eligibility, given him no reward, and relinquished the right to acquire his achievements. But Senior Sister, isn't this punishment too harsh?"
Zhao Nan tapped the table twice with his fingertips. "Using the fruit produced by the mutated spirit seed to participate in the event, and reporting others without cause, is too emotional. This kind of mentality is not suitable for cooperating with us."
"Huh?" Yao Yao's pupils contracted. "He's cultivating mutated spirit seeds? Isn't that what those mutated spirit cultivators and plant masters love to research? Where did he get them?!"
"Hmm," Zhao Nan stood up unhurriedly, picking another cucumber as he went. "There's a small chance he cultivated it unintentionally. We'll have to wait for the regulatory bureau to investigate the specific source. Kam~ Time to go refine pills and test their properties."
"Okay, okay!" Now that she had reported it to the regulatory bureau, Yao Yao stopped thinking about it, packed up the contract, picked up the three boxes of fruit left by Jiang Qiu, and asked, "Senior Sister, what kind of pill are you going to practice to test your characteristics today?"
"Hmm, what kind of pasta sells well in this county?"
"Level 1 [Spirit Cultivation Pill]! It's useful for cultivators of all paths. Even the lowest grade can sell for at least 10000 yuan per pill, and the supply still can't meet the demand!"
"Hmm~ Okay."
"Okay! I'll go prepare the materials!"
