Chapter 943: Planting Trees (Requesting Monthly Votes)

Then Lin Qi spoke to the Star Spirit:

“Then buy it.”

Looking at the large screen projected by the Star Spirit, he directly selected payment.

【Ding!】

【Payment successful. 5 billion cultivation points paid.】

The Star Spirit, clad in a golden robe, smiled:

“Member Lin Qi, congratulations on your successful purchase.”

“The Level Five synthetic body you purchased, due to its precious value, requires at least one month to complete manufacturing and delivery.”

“Please wait patiently.”

“Here is some information about the Level Five body that you need to understand.”

After nodding, Lin Qi said to Xiao Chan:

“In a month, you can switch to your new body.”

Xiao Chan, dressed in blue, nodded seriously:

“After I get my new body, I will work even harder to help you earn more cultivation points.”

Lin Qi smiled and studied the information provided by the Star Spirit.

It described several functions of the Level Five body.

As the body upgrades, the materials used become increasingly unusual.

The upgrades of synthetic lifeforms grow ever more extraordinary.

Initially, bodies were forged from hard metal, lacking sufficient flexibility.

Later, liquid metal bodies emerged, capable of condensing into any form.

They could shift between liquid and solid states.

Eventually, synthetic lifeforms gained human-like emotions.

This technology is incredibly powerful!

As materials continued to upgrade, by Level Five, the body no longer requires chips.

Instead, it evolves into a core nucleus, like the life cores of many species.

As long as the core nucleus remains intact, it can never die.

The body also gains special nerves, possessing tactile sensations similar to humans.

This feature was borrowed from other species.

The techniques and law runes involved are extremely complex—he didn’t fully understand them.

But to Xiao Chan’s appearance, she could now pass as an ordinary human.

The future upgrade path is to gain autonomous consciousness and the ability to cultivate, like Nihe in the Original Tower, mastering the power of laws.

But that requires even more cultivation points—or even a higher-tier “currency.”

Something he cannot currently access.

He felt the 5 billion cultivation points spent were well worth it.

He still had 8 billion cultivation points left, more than enough for auxiliary cultivation.

Purchasing a starship, battle armor, or weapons might have to be delayed.

Mainly because their prices were even higher than he imagined.

Replacing Xiao Chan’s body alone cost 5 billion cultivation points.

Rare treasures might be even more expensive.

They are artifacts used by beings of the Cosmic Fifth Realm.

Even ordinary Cosmic Fifth Realm beings might not possess them.

Better to focus on cultivation first, raise his strength, then find ways to earn more cultivation points.

Especially since he still held the Star Seed—something truly valuable.

Selling it all would net him a massive profit.

After calming his emotions slightly,

he logged into the Tai Chu Sacred Land’s official website and began searching. Soon, a document he wanted appeared.

【Legacy: “On the Cultivation and Planting of the Void Tree”】

【Description: …】

【Price: 100,000 cultivation points!】

…

It was a specialized guide on how to plant the Void Tree.

He had already decided to plant one.

After all, the Void Tree was truly precious—its leaves and fruits greatly aided in comprehending space laws.

It could also transform the environment, greatly benefiting those who meditated on space laws nearby.

He would spend most of his future time in Tianhai Residence meditating on space laws.

So the Void Tree was necessary.

【Ding!】

【Payment successful!】

He quickly completed the purchase and opened it to browse the content.

After memorizing everything, he went to the garden.

The entire courtyard, spanning dozens of kilometers, had been divided into countless zones.

Each planted with different heavenly treasures.

Lin Qi walked to one zone, where a vast field of purple, fragrant flowers grew.

“Xiao Chan, clear away this patch of Ziyou Orchids—they’re too weak, no longer worth cultivating.”

Xiao Chan beside him nodded:

“Yes, Master!”

Immediately, she condensed her body and dug up all the Ziyou Orchids around.

Then Lin Qi had Xiao Chan dig up other heavenly treasures as well.

Many had already matured; if further nourished by source energy, their potency would only grow stronger.

But now they all had to make way for the Void Tree.

Finally, a full kilometer of land was cleared—before him lay a deep pit.

【Hum!】

A brown seed, no larger than a marble, appeared in his hand.

This was the Void Tree seed.

【Huhuhu!】

Wrapped in divine force, it floated upward and settled into the pit.

Then Xiao Chan, wielding a shovel, quickly filled the pit with soil.

Next, she raised a green watering can and began dousing the ground.

Lin Qi felt that as the water touched the soil, the Void Tree seed slowly awakened from its slumber.

It began absorbing nutrients from the soil and source energy from the air.

Xiao Chan’s water fully revived it.

A faint vitality began to radiate from it.

“The Void Tree seed requires vast amounts of energy to take root and sprout.”

“Though the core zone’s source energy is extremely dense, sprouting will still take a long time.”

Lin Qi recalled the “On the Cultivation and Planting of the Void Tree” he had just read.

To successfully grow it, he needed massive energy.

【Hum!】

Before him appeared a large metal crate. Xiao Chan opened it—inside were piles of flesh and blood fragments.

He dumped them all onto the freshly filled soil at once.

These flesh fragments contained pure essence—enough to burst a Void Flight Realm cultivator apart if ingested.

Lin Qi watched the ground; in his perception, the Void Tree seed began absorbing source energy—and also the torrent of energy from the blood.

The seed stirred eagerly, eager to consume it.

The entire seed began changing, its vitality growing stronger.

Lin Qi felt sprouting was near.

He could now attend to other matters.

He opened his smart device; a flood of messages arrived.

All from friends, his younger siblings.

“I really should get together with everyone.”

So he reached out to Gu Ta’ao and others.

…

Three days later, in the spacious villa hall.

People came and went—geniuses from the outer regions—filling the air with lively energy; tables across the hall were laden with delicacies.

Xiao Chan, dressed in blue, effortlessly moved numerous dishes onto the hall’s tables.

She also promptly refilled guests’ wine cups.
