Chapter 430: Everything goes smoothly

~14 min read 2,736 words

Elder Gaien carefully put the Spirit Spring Dew Tree seed back into the bottle after the contract, treating it like a treasure, tucked it into his arms, and followed Gao De out of the door.

The two came to Flora's work location.

Gao De carefully stepped over the planting pit just dug on the ground and asked a dense big tree that had been accelerated and had entered adulthood in front of him: "Is Lady Flora busy?"

After a while, a rustling movement came from the emerald green leaves.

The leaves were pushed aside like by an invisible hand, scattering to the surroundings, and sporadic snow foam drifted down.

A little person drilled out from it, shook her wings, and first said to the Forestry Office staff waiting on the side: "There is no big problem, it is just that it is exactly at the edge of the spirit land, the stress generated when the soil freezes and thaws is transmitted to the trunk, leading to small injuries inside the trunk..."

When working, Flora is very professional.

A series of professional terms and solutions were spat out, and the staff on the side just nodded repeatedly, firmly remembering what Flora said.

After finishing, she flew lightly onto Gao De's shoulder, counting her fingers, swinging her legs, and whispering the specific situation to Gao De.

Flora's efficiency is very high.

In less than an hour, more than forty new tree seeds had been planted in the most appropriate way.

In addition, she also relied on her own ability to list the details that need attention in the cultivation process of each tree seed for the Forestry Office staff.

"Lady Flora is really capable."

"It is like this."

Gao De signaled Elder Gaien waiting on the side with his eyes.

Elder Gaien immediately understood, hurriedly stepped forward, and his rough animal skin boots stepped out deep marks on the ground.

He bowed slightly, deliberately placing his eyes a line lower than Flora, and said respectfully: "Still have to trouble Minister Flora to help plant this Spirit Spring Dew Tree seed."

His tone was respectful.

Firstly, Flora's contribution to the northern realm and the Enduring Zhenbing tribe is worthy of this attitude: they can now eat their fill and live a happy life they never dared to think of in the past, all thanks to Flora.

Secondly, as the Minister of Agriculture, even if it is just a position, it is actually much larger than him.

It should be said that in the entire Phoenix, except for Gao De and the War Mother Su Nai Fa, there is no one with a "higher official position" than Flora.

Elder Gaien held the crystal bottle with both hands.

The Spirit Spring Dew Tree seed was soaked in the liquid in the crystal bottle, shaking up and down.

Flora, who had just finished working, saw this and her eyes lit up, her wings as thin as cicada wings trembling slightly with excitement.

She immediately sensed the rank of the Spirit Spring Dew Tree seed.

"Leave it to Lady Flora!"

When people do things they like, they don't know they are tired.

Not to mention, Flora is not a creature that will be tired.

She thought for a while, flew lightly from Gao De's shoulder, and took the two to a piece of land with extremely high magic concentration near the east of Yujia Te Xila.

"Just plant it here."

There is an extremely close connection between Flora and Yujia Te Xila.

For the spirit land opened up by Yujia Te Xila, she can know it like the back of her hand by instinct.

Including which area is still empty and what the magic concentration is, there is no need for outsiders to use a map as an aid.

Flora selected the plot, and Gao De personally took action, casting 【Plastic Earth】.

The soil immediately rolled as if it had life, and soon a suitable planting pit appeared in front of his eyes.

It's just that as a Fourth-Rank magical tree seed, the planting process of the Spirit Spring Dew Tree is more troublesome, and it is not just digging a pit and burying it.

Gao De took out another bottle, the soil in the bottle appeared strange cyan-green, and there were tiny blue spots floating inside.

"This is the native soil of the Spirit Spring Dew Tree seed."

When exchanging for the Spirit Spring Dew Tree seed, in addition to the tree seed itself, it also came with a bottle of native soil and a cultivation manual.

The growth of the Spirit Spring Dew Tree has extremely high requirements for soil.

Either it is planted in the native place where the Spirit Spring Dew Tree was discovered.

Or it is, as written in the cultivation manual, mixed with moss powder where water spirits dwell, lake bottom silt, and thousand-year glacier ice shavings to make special nutrient soil to replace the native soil.

For most people, they all choose the latter.

Because whether it is magical plants or magical trees, their native places are definitely in places far away from human settlements and inaccessible.

But for Flora, there is no need to follow this principle.

She is a "terrifying existence" with a self-contained modifier plug-in.

Gao De also knew Flora's ability very well, without Flora saying much, he had already used Mage Hand to take the Spirit Spring Dew Tree seed out of the bottle and bury it into the planting pit.

Subsequently, he poured this bottle of native soil into the planting pit, and the cyan-green soil instantly covered the tree seed.

A strange energy fluctuation spread out.

Next, it was Flora's performance time.

Flora's expression became serious, and her eyes began to focus.

She stretched out her right hand, and a yellow-brown airflow had already rushed from her fingertips, like a flexible little snake, extending rapidly and drilling into the planting pit.

This yellow-brown airflow continued to gush out and flow in.

Visible to the naked eye, with the infusion of the yellow-brown airflow, the gray-white, hard-textured snowfield gray soil around the planting pit began to undergo wonderful changes.

The soil first rippled slightly, just like a stone being thrown into a calm lake.

The gray-white gradually faded, replaced by a soft cyan-green.

The gravel in the soil began to fuse with each other, and the originally hard texture became soft and delicate, like melted chocolate.

The fine polygonal cracks that existed originally were also slowly healing, the soil surface became smooth and shiny, and scattered blue spots began to appear.

At the same time, the soil emitted bursts of nourishing breath.

It is precisely the Mother Qi of Ten Thousand Earths.

Just need a handful of the desired soil and bury it in the normal spirit land.

Flora can use this handful of soil as the source, through the Mother Qi of Ten Thousand Earths, slowly improve the soil around the source soil, making them transform into corresponding soil.

Although Gao De added a little bit of private goods to the name Mother Qi of Ten Thousand Earths, in terms of effect, it is actually the most appropriate.

And under the blessing of Flora's own talent and the ability of the Mother Qi of Ten Thousand Earths, in Flora's hands, there is almost no plant that cannot be grown.

The transformation lasted for about three or four minutes, and the soil of about ten square meters around the planting pit turned into cyan-green Spirit Spring Dew Tree native soil.

It was also at this time that Flora stopped her movements.

"What's wrong, Lady Flora?"

"No strength," Flora said righteously.

Casting the Mother Qi of Ten Thousand Earths is like a magic user casting a spell, there is consumption.

Flora is still young, her ability is still weak, and the quality of the native soil of this Spirit Spring Dew Tree is high, so the consumption of transformation is particularly large, so the transformation to this point has already exhausted Flora.

"Then take a rest first, this bit of land is enough for now, and transform it later." Gao De naturally feels sorry for his own Lady Flora.

Flora nodded her little head, and couldn't agree more.

She turned to explain the cultivation matters of the Spirit Spring Dew Tree seed to Elder Gaien again.

Although Gao De had a cultivation manual in his hand, what Flora said was obviously more specific and precise than the content in the manual.

He watched the little person explain seriously with a smile, while Elder Gaien, who was n times larger than her, was like a student accepting education, with a "well-behaved" face, nodding from time to time, feeling that this picture was quite interesting.

After she finished explaining, Gao De took out a dark brown wooden box from his arms, opened it, and displayed it in front of Flora.

A clear fragrance rushed toward him.

In the box, a fungus with a strange shape and fine silver patterns on the surface lay quietly.

It is precisely the thirty-year-old Longqin Xuejun bestowed by Marquis Drake.

"Lady Flora, is there any way to plant this Longqin Xuejun in the northern realm?" Gao De asked softly, with hope in his heart.

This thing is a treasure, not only can it increase magic power, but it can also improve physique and lifespan; if it can be planted in the northern realm, it is equivalent to improving the foundation.

Understanding and observing plants is as simple as breathing for Flora, and it doesn't take any physical strength or energy.

She placed her small hand on the Longqin Xuejun, which was already the same size as her, and in just an instant, she understood.

"A bit difficult," Flora gave the answer.

Gao De was not disappointed, but happy, because what Flora said was "difficult," not impossible.

"What is needed?"

Flora gently poked the edge of the Longqin Xuejun with her finger, and the silver patterns actually rippled slightly.

"It grows on special soil formed by the fermentation of silver dragon feces and horny scales, and at the same time, it needs the breath sprayed by the silver dragon during the growth process, which can provide it with special energy."

"There is no silver dragon in the northern realm," Gao De said: "What can be used to replace it?"

"There is no silver dragon in the northern realm, but there is a young frost giant lizard."

Flora said this, and Gao De suddenly remembered this matter.

Last year, hunters of the Enduring Zhenbing tribe discovered a young frost giant lizard containing thin dragon blood on the snowfield.

It was just that when escorting it back to Phoenix, this hunter squad was intercepted and killed by the people sent by Ryan.

The young lizard was also taken away, and subsequently, Ryan also used this matter to frame Catherine, making her go to jail.

Until later, he pulled out the North Wind, sent troops to the Snowfield Guardian Headquarters, settled everything, and brought the young frost giant lizard back—this kind of earth-vein creature with infinite potential, Ryan naturally wouldn't kill it directly, but raised it well.

However, because it was a young lizard, although it contained thin dragon blood, it was only thin.

Plus the growth rate of earth-vein creatures is calculated in decades; anyway, in Gao De's view, by the time it grows up and can exert effect, he would have long become a high-circle magic user, and wouldn't look at its little power.

Therefore, he had never paid much attention to this young lizard, and didn't even take a look at it, just handed it to the people in the tribe to raise:

At least it is a sub-dragon species; after raising it up, it can at least guard the house, or take blood to make magic ink.

But didn't expect that this young lizard he had always looked down upon would exert a great effect at this moment.

"Lady Flora, how to operate?" Gao De asked humbly.

Flora puffed out her chest and told Gao De the operation method in detail.

In fact, it is to use the feces and shed shells of the young lizard, plus some magical plants rich in magic and ice elements, and then add metal mineral powder, mixed and fermented, which can serve as a low-profile version of native soil.

Then the breath exhaled by the young lizard can also provide energy similar to the silver dragon's breathing, but in this process, additional ice elements and metal mineral powder must be added.

Yes, the supernatural ability of the silver dragon-avian is precisely metal and ice.

From this point of view, planting Longqin Xuejun in the northern realm is really appropriate.

Of course, these substitutes can only be considered low-profile versions, so the quality of the Longqin Xuejun cultivated at that time might not even be 20% of the original version.

"20% is 20%, enough!" Gao De waved his hand and made a final decision.

If the quality is not enough, just make up for it with years!

"What part should be used for sowing?" Gao De asked with concern.

He was preparing to use this Longqin Xuejun to help himself break through to the late First Circle in one fell swoop, and was a bit worried about whether it would affect his taking it.

Flora gently lifted the folds at the bottom of the Longqin Xuejun, revealing a cluster of silver-white spore sacs flickering with faint light: "Use this."

Longqin Xuejun is essentially a fungus, and the seeds of fungi are its "spores."

Taking spores does not affect the medicinal effect of Longqin Xuejun.

Under normal circumstances, because of the preciousness of Longqin Xuejun, when Longqin Xuejun is leaked out, the spores must be removed first to avoid being stolen and planted.

But just as no one can plant Blood Crystal Wheat, Longqin Xuejun only grows in the habitat of silver dragon-avians, so the Jin Quehua Dynasty didn't "do unnecessary things."

This just happened to be cheap for Gao De.

All problems were perfectly solved.

Gao De's mood couldn't be better.

It's just that the matter here is not over yet.

There is still a big thing that hasn't landed.

Gao De waved his hand and let the staff following behind take out a cloth bag.

Untying the cloth bag, it contained more than two hundred dark brown capsules.

Inside the capsules, the seeds of the buzzing tree were hidden.

"Hmm?" Flora looked up, staring at Gao De with widened eyes.

"These tree seeds are relatively special; they possess special value and need to be planted and cultivated in large quantities in a piece of land, so I didn't hand them to Lady Flora together just now." Gao De hurriedly explained.

Not arranging one thing at once, but arranging it twice, indirectly increasing the workload, this is a "leader" that anyone hates.

Gao De didn't dare to let Flora have any complaints about himself.

"Special?" The little person had no opinion, but was still curious.

"It's not easy to explain in detail now; Lady Flora will know later, it's just that now I have to trouble Lady Flora to help plant and cultivate."

Gao De thought for a while and gave a number: "Ten thousand trees, this is the goal of the first stage."

"Hmm?!"

The trees here now don't add up to a thousand.

"Yes, it's not simple, and only Lady Flora has the ability to overcome these difficulties." Gao De seemed not to hear Flora's subtext, just couldn't help but "sigh."

"Hmm!!"

The little person's eye corners curved.

Gao De's mouth corners lifted, and he smiled at Elder Gaien on the side.

Lady Flora started to get busy again without stopping.

She needed to select suitable areas according to Gao De's needs and the trend of Yujia Te Xila opening up spirit land, take out the buzzing tree seeds hidden in the capsules, and start the great cause of planting trees.

Gao De didn't waste time in Valar Bay, rode a snow wolf, and rushed to Phoenix.

As for Flora, after he arrived in Phoenix, he could just pull her over through spells.

The little person has a lot of things to be busy with.

Valar's affairs are finished; when arriving in Phoenix, there is still Blood Crystal Wheat that needs Flora to "worry" about!
