Chapter 260

At once, a servant dug up the potatoes from the soil.

"So many!"

The servant exclaimed.

Because he had dug up over a dozen potatoes!

This sight made the people around stare in astonishment.

Compared with the potato's taste and its low price, the truly terrifying thing about potatoes is their yield!

A yield of ten thousand jin per mu is quite easy, especially in this magical world, where the yield could be even higher.

Like now on the Miracle Wasteland, the highest potato yield is eighteen thousand jin per mu!

A full nine tons!

This is thanks to the fertility of the Miracle Wasteland's soil and the efforts of the magicians.

Of course, that is the peak.

The average yield is still around ten thousand.

"My Lord bless us—if we had such a divine crop, the glory of my Lord would surely spread farther!"

A bishop of the Church said excitedly.

The reason he was so excited was also that such a divine crop had been discovered by him; once reported to the Church headquarters, it would surely be a great merit!

Although this fellow was a bishop, he was only a regional bishop, and had not yet entered the core layer of the Church; he probably did not know that their god had very likely already been defeated in the Divine War!

Such news, naturally, the Church had sealed up tightly.

As for the king of the Xiling Kingdom knowing, it was probably that envoys sent by other gods' Churches had made contact with him.

After all, if one could turn a king before the war began, even though the Church had its own temple army, dealing with things would be much easier.

"Try a second breeding."

The bishop said to the magician again.

The temple magician immediately carried out a second breeding.

However, this time, the second breeding failed directly.

Although those potatoes would sprout, no matter how they were urged to grow, they would not grow any more potatoes; even when the temple magician spared no magical power, that potato itself only grew a little larger.

But this was essentially being puffed up with magical power!

"Bishop my lord, there's no way to carry out a second breeding; there's a kind of power inside blocking my magical power."

The temple magician wiped the sweat from his face and said.

"Divine power imprint!"

As a mid-level member of the Church, this bishop still knew about divine power imprints.

His face darkened: "In that case, this divine bean is the product of a god."

With the existence of a divine power imprint, let alone them, even other gods could not forcibly breed it.

The divine power imprint simply could not be cracked, unless a god used divine power to crack it; but once the divine power imprint touched other divine power, it would activate self-destruction, destroying all the genes of that one potato.

And without divine power, even if a Holy Domain magician came, they could not crack the divine power imprint.

This is the bug-like aspect of the divine power imprint—the ultimate choice for anti-piracy and anti-counterfeiting.

The temple magician said: "I'm afraid so, Bishop my lord."

The bishop said: "Try the other two."

Soon, they had tested them out.

Whether it was sweet potatoes or corn, neither could be bred.

After getting the potatoes, they could still breed them one more time.

But sweet potatoes and corn absolutely could not be bred!

The reason for such a setting was that Lin Yan considered potato planting to be frequent, and it was troublesome to claim seeds every time, so he gave potato seeds a second breeding chance, but absolutely not a third!

At this, the bishop, who had originally been beaming with joy, was completely dumbfounded.

His plan to claim merit had completely failed.

The divine power imprint had cut off all his hopes.

"Investigate the source of this divine bean; if this divine bean was produced by the Churches of the neighboring Horton Kingdom or the Hunhe Duchy, it would be detrimental to us."

The bishop said.

He was the bishop of the Eastern Region; some matters that occurred in the Eastern Region, if he did not report them, the Church headquarters would find it very hard to know.

After thinking it over, this bishop decided not to report it for now.

Because reporting now would bring no merit.

Better to figure out the whole story of this divine bean, then report it all together!
