Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The entire gourd vine successively grew forty-two small gourds of a verdant green color.

If each one were refined into a storage item and then sold, it would yield twelve thousand six hundred middle-grade spirit stones, which is one million two hundred sixty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Why does everyone want to obtain mutated spirit plants?

Being valuable is one of the main reasons!

As long as there is a single mutated spirit plant, getting rich overnight is not a dream.

Xu Zhangqing pondered: "But... it can only be a slow, steady stream."

Either don't refine them into storage items and sell them directly, earning just the cost price.

Or find a trustworthy blacksmith and reach a cooperation with them.

But whichever is chosen, it needs to be done bit by bit; this matter cannot be rushed.

Seeing the sun rising higher and higher, Xu Zhangqing summoned the Companion Green Lotus and began to ripen them.

He had to finish harvesting before Wu Guangman and the others arrived.

Although, an earth spirit root cannot necessarily recognize every spirit plant.

But better safe than sorry; one must not be without a guard against others.

After all, these are precious mutated spirit plants; they absolutely cannot be taken lightly.

As time passed, the wood spirit power in his qi sea was continuously consumed, and finally, before Wu Guangman and the other earth spirit roots arrived, he made them all mature.

【Mutant Green Gourd】

【Mature】

【Spirit Qi Sufficient】

【No Damage】

It is worth noting that all the Mutant Green Gourds grew from a single gourd vine.

And according to the records in the 【Spirit Field Hundred Records】, as long as the gourd vine is not damaged, it can be harvested several more times until its spiritual energy is exhausted.

Therefore, although Xu Zhangqing picked up the sickle again, he did not cut the entire gourd vine; he only acted on the vine tendrils that had grown gourds.

The sickle aligned, leaving about an inch of length, he pulled back lightly.

Accompanied by a "Click" sound, the first Mutant Green Gourd smoothly fell into his hand.

The touch was slightly cool; he could sense the wood spirit qi contained inside, the concentration was decent, a bit stronger than the surrounding ordinary spirit plants.

【Harvested "Mutant Green Gourd" 1, Lifespan +49 days】

【Harvested "Mutant Green Gourd" 22, Lifespan +1078 days】

【Harvested "Mutant Green Gourd" 42, Lifespan +2058 days】

【Remaining Lifespan: 670 years】

Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "Worthy of being a mutated spirit plant, the reward is indeed generous."

Of course, the one that gave the most should be the 【Phoenix Feather】 harvested before; a single one could increase lifespan by 1 year.

And after losing all the Mutant Green Gourds, the entire gourd vine withered at a speed visible to the naked eye; whether leaves or vine tendrils, all shrank by at least half.

Judging by color, spiritual energy concentration, and state, it looked no better than the ordinary spirit plants on the side.

Fortunately, as long as it is carefully cultivated afterwards, watered with Ruquan Shui, provided with spiritual beast feces, plus the black soil's sufficient nutrients, it will soon revive.

After everything was settled, Xu Zhangqing once again cast the Green Finger Technique on the remaining spirit plants.

Pity, this time all the luck was used on the 【Green Gourd】; afterwards not even the vegetables mutated, they all failed.

Fortunately, Xu Zhangqing is not an especially greedy person; even without spirit plant mutations, as long as he watched them grow more robust, he felt equally satisfied.

By the time everything was settled, the time had reached Si hour, which is 9 AM.

Wu Guangman and the others appeared again, still the same as yesterday, running all the way from the spiritual vein.

The speed at which these earth spirit roots move on the ground is comparable to land spirit beasts and flying paper cranes.

If they cast the Earth Escape Technique, it would be even faster.

"Senior Brother Xu, good morning!"

"Senior Brother Xu, sorry to keep you waiting!"

"Today we will finish the very last bit!"

Facing a wood spirit root spirit farmer, especially since the other party is at Foundation Establishment stage, these earth spirit roots were all very friendly.

Xu Zhangqing smiled slightly: "Trouble you all."

Actually, only a tiny area remained that hadn't been infused with earth qi.

If they had persisted a bit more yesterday, they definitely could have finished it directly.

Now, although Wu Guangman and the others all came, not a single one went up together.

Instead they split into two teams.

One team finishes infusing then switches to the other team, taking turns like this.

Something that originally wouldn't take half an hour, stubbornly lasted until noon to finish.

Xu Zhangqing also knew these earth spirit roots had it hard; they earned hard-earned money, so he didn't mind; anyway, as long as the Second Mu Grade-2 Spirit Field had no problems, it was fine.

"Senior Brother Xu, this is my communication talisman; if there is any need in the future, you can contact me at any time, I will absolutely rush over at the fastest speed." Wu Guangman presented his communication talisman with both hands.

"Sure, sure." Xu Zhangqing reached out and accepted it.

Although he had Han Su to help, he still had to prepare for every eventuality.

What if Han Su had something come up and couldn't make it?

"Then... we're leaving." Wu Guangman waved to the members of the group.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Zhangqing watched them depart.

Afterward, he turned and went to his newly added Second Grade Spirit Field.

The First Mu Second Grade Spirit Field had previously been used by other spirit farmers, so it was decent in every respect.

The Second Mu had just been cleared by someone with an Earth Spiritual Root, so it looked somewhat different.

Especially in smell.

Because the First Mu Second Grade Spirit Field had black soil, and combined with slash-and-burn fire seeding, fertilizing, and other reasons, it gave off a pungent odor similar to rotting fallen leaves.

As for the newly added Second Grade Spirit Field, its black soil was in the initial stage, and since it had never been used, it had neither irrigation from Ruquan Shui nor any fertilizer, so it only had a relatively mild earth smell.

The colors were different too.

The left side leaned black.

The right side leaned yellow.

Xu Zhangqing mused, "With two mu of Second Grade Spirit Fields, these spirit plants no longer need to be crowded into one area, but can be planted separately."

The First Mu Second Grade Spirit Field not only grew spirit rice, but also various vegetables, with four-leaf clovers growing beside the water channel.

If it weren't for constantly fertilizing with spiritual beast feces, plus occasional spirit rain falling, this was actually a planting method that consumed black soil nutrients very heavily.

Of course, the greatest benefit of adding a second mu of spirit field was moving those mutated spirit plants out of Stone Mountain.

Without sunlight, without spirit rain, and with insufficient range, the yield had always been unable to increase.

Nowadays, as long as he disguised it a little, especially by placing a Concealment Array, there would be no worries at all, and he could plant however he wanted.

This way, although the yield of top-grade spirit rice remained at around 4000 jin per mu,

the yield of mutated spirit rice would henceforth be greatly increased.

Even, as long as Xu Zhangqing was a bit more diligent, from now on he could eat mutated spirit rice with higher spirit qi content every day.

Immediately after, he took out communication talismans one by one from his small storage bag.

Li Sancai, Zhao Ziyue, Hu Bugui, Zhang Su, Han Xin, Han Su, Bai Ling'er, Chu Qiu.

Since he was going to announce his successful Foundation Establishment to the outside world, he could no longer hide it.

Especially, he had to tell people he knew and share this joy.

"Hello?"

"Senior Brother Li, it's me!"

"Junior Brother Xu, what's the matter?"

"I... Foundation Establishment!!!"
