Chapter 282: with translation of chapter title

Su Li looks at the record in her hand of the Shamanesses after taking the medicine, and gets so excited her face turns red.

That is, in the past, without taking Cuan Qiong Medicine Liquid, after the gestation period of Shamanesses with Pregnancy Value 5, about five out of a hundred females would become pregnant, with the highest record being eight.

Now that they have taken Cuan Qiong Medicine Liquid, the number of pregnancies this time astonishingly reached 32!

The information written on the Thin Skin Scroll let Su Li witness how miraculous the Cuan Qiong herb is; she publicly displayed the trial results in the main hall, sparking fierce and excited discussion among the Shamanesses.

"Uwu… after taking Cuan Qiong it really can increase the chance of bearing offspring!"

"Heavenly Beast God! By this logic, our females with Pregnancy Value 5 are just like those with Pregnancy Value 3!!"

"Wow! Then if we switch to females with even higher Pregnancy Value, the chance of bearing offspring would be even more impressive!"

"Ahhh! I want to buy Sichuan lovage Medicine Liquid! My Beast Husband is the clan leader Mangqi of a great tribe on the Australian Continent; we've been bonded for six years and still haven't conceived a child like my Beast Husband's. I've been searching the Wushen Temple for a herb that boosts offspring conception, and I've finally found it!"

"Great Witch, no matter the price I will buy it; please sell me a portion of Cuan Qiong!"

"I want it too; isn't Cuan Qiong the divine medicine that raises Pregnancy Value? After taking Cuan Qiong, those powerful male beasts of noble blood will still choose us~~"

"Great Witch, the efficacy of Cuan Qiong Divine Medicine has already been tested; there's no need to wait another few months, right? Hurry and announce the Cuan Qiong Divine Medicine to the world!"

"Yes, yes, why don't you bring out the Cuan Qiong Divine Medicine now? I've already prepared my purse and plan to snap it up…"

Why wait?

Su Li doesn't want to wait either, but the decision lies not with her at all; it rests in Lin Manzhi's hands, who holds the Cuan Qiong Divine Medicine.

However, she must send someone to tell Lin Manzhi this good news, urging her to value the Cuan Qiong Divine Medicine more and bring out this continent‑wide Beast impact as soon as possible.

Someone from the Mountain Classic Beast Temple brought news of the Shamanesses becoming pregnant after taking the medicine, and Lin Manzhi was quite pleased to hear it.

Regarding the Shamanesses' urgent desire for Cuan Qiong, she could only apologize and say they must wait a bit longer.

The people here don't know, but Lin Manzhi knows that medicinal herbs must meet standards and reach maturity before they can be processed; immature ones cannot be used.

Now Cuan Qiong has only been planted for a little over 210 days; even if the Shamanesses are impatient, she cannot simply send someone to dig it up.

Moreover, Cuan Qiong's maturation period is only about 290 days; next month, before it matures, she plans to go to the Ansen territory to lead a harvesting team.

Her exclusive lettuce supply contract with the Wushen Temple had already expired; during the waiting period for Cuan Qiong, she expanded the Hydroponic Lettuce planting base to fifty acres.

Lettuce and cherry radish both have growth periods of about thirty days, and now these two vegetables have become common medicinal herbs in Kuangsha City and Ansen City.

Other lords in Kuangsha City have been watching; seeing this, they came knocking to trade for these two vegetable herbs, but Lin Manzhi had already chosen to cooperate with the Wushen Temple and rejected them all.

If you want them, just go straight to the Wushen Temple to buy them.

The rejected lords said little; after all, having trading rights for fruit herbs with Lin Manzhi is like a rope tied around one's wrist, and that rope now lies in Lin Manzhi's hand.

When it was time to plant another round of vegetables, Lin Manzhi went with Mo Lie to the medicinal herb planting base in Ansen City; the Cuan Qiong planting area was a sunny plot of about two acres at the foot of the mountain.

This was the first time planting Cuan Qiong; she had no experience at all and relied entirely on Xiang Sa's care, not knowing how the growth was proceeding.

For her, twenty thousand Cuan Qiong plants, if half are of good quality, would satisfy her.

"Lord Lin, I smell this! It's sharp and fragrant, truly a fine medicinal material! The Cuan Qiong I cultivated must have strong potency!" Xiang Sa carefully cradled a freshly dug plump root, his nose twitching slightly, and presented it to Lin Manzhi with a delighted expression.

Lin Manzhi lowered her head to look at the fist-sized root and immediately ordered the harvest.

Xiang Sa and the planters worked for half a day, digging up all the Cuan Qiong in that small plot, loading them into baskets and bringing them to Lin Manzhi for inspection.

Xiang Sa, with a group, counted them one by one, never letting the smile leave his face; after counting three times, he presented the results to Lin Manzhi.

The result far exceeded her estimate; she had bought twenty thousand Lingzi from the space and planted them, and now harvested over eighteen thousand roots from underground, each about the size of a fist.

With the previous planting experience and the dry season in Ansen City being the planting season again, this time Lin Manzhi, when arranging Cuan Qiong planting, accepted the fifty‑acre valley Mo Lie offered her—ten thousand Lingzi per acre—planting five hundred thousand this time.

The harvested Cuan Qiong was taken by Lin Manzhi into the space, processed with a single click, and then brought out.

In the deal with the Wushen Temple, Lin Manzhi gave only a thousand Cuan Qiong, bringing the rest back to Kuangsha City, where Huang Cai, together with the female alchemists of the refining room, extracted the medicine liquid and planned to sell it at Yuequan Lou.

Lin Manzhi brought the Cuan Qiong over; Huang Cai, realizing how excellent it was, immediately used pheromone threads to refine it, producing a wavy‑ringed amber mass and extracting a glass‑bead‑sized essence.

Lin Manzhi saw it and immediately understood.

From the Cuan Qiong grown in the space, Su Li refined two medicine essence beads, meaning that each Cuan Qiong planted in reality yields only one medicine essence.

Great, the Cuan Qiong grown in reality has medicinal effect!

She felt quite satisfied, holding the glass bottle Huang Cai had just filled with Cuan Qiong essence; being able to bring the medicinal herb into the Beastfolk world was already great.

Huang Cai stared at Lin Manzhi, whose eyes glittered as she held the glass bottle, and thought lightly, "You value this Cuan Qiong medicine so much—what kind of Spirit Core drug does it replace?"

Lin Manzhi set the bottle down, shook her head, and said, "It's unlike any other medicine."

Huang Cai and the females in the room simultaneously stopped what they were doing and looked at Lin Manzhi.

"Cuan Qiong, verified by the previous Great Witch and Grand Witch Su, has a liquid that can regulate the female's gestation chamber and significantly increase the chance of bearing offspring…"

Huang Cai was speechless: "What!!"

She looked incredulous: "How could this be possible!"

Lin Manzhi smiled, "If you don't believe it, you can give it a try."

She turned to the clearly interested females in the room and said, "Our alchemy room's female workers, if you want Cuan Qiong medicine liquid, I'll give you a discount—outside it's a hundred gold coins, you only need eighty."

As soon as she said that, the already eager females all flocked around Lin Manzhi, declaring they wanted to buy Cuan Qiong medicine liquid.
