Chapter 84

"In the coming period, we will live here."

"Upon hearing Ge Bai say that, Da Liu immediately jumped into the courtyard and reverted to his normal form."

"Qian Dai then teleported, stood on the roof, and looked around."

"The residential area is still scientifically designed; even standing on the roof, one cannot see the neighboring houses, as most of the view is blocked by dense vegetation."

"Xiao Tao lazily lounged on a sofa on the rooftop,"

""Tao, the air here is not bad either, it's great for sleeping.""

"Seeing the three little ones having fun, Ge Bai casually gave a reminder."

""Play around a bit, don't go too far.""

"After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the three little ones."

"Ge Bai took out his mobile terminal, logged into the online resource library of the Jinggang Spirit Plant Research Institute using the account provided by the Spirit Plant Research Institute, and began browsing casually."

"The resource library's list can be sorted by resource grade or by resource attribute."

"Resources of the nine attributes: fire, water, earth, wind, metal, thunder, life, darkness, and time-space."

"Among them, it is clearly visible that the darkness and time-space attributes have the fewest resources; in the library, all grades combined amount to less than three pages."

"The fire, water, earth, and wind attributes have roughly equal amounts, each spanning over thirty pages."

"Ge Bai thought for a moment, did not directly call up the wind-attribute resource list, but entered "Time Soil" into the search box."

"This is the highest-grade resource Ge Bai has encountered so far; she very much wants to know what rating Time Soil has in the Spirit Plant Research Institute's resource library."

"Soon, the search results appeared on the screen; unexpectedly, the Spirit Plant Research Institute's resource library actually had Time Soil for sale, sold by the portion."

"【Name: Time Soil】"

"【Grade: 8th-grade resource】"

"【Description: ……】"

"【Price: 7.6 million per portion】"

"According to the Spirit Plant Research Institute's classification, grades 1–3 are low-grade resources, 4–6 are mid-grade, and 7–9 are high-grade."

Although Ge Bai already knew that temporal soil was a high-tier resource, and high-tier resources were pricey, she never imagined they could be this expensive!

One portion costs 7.6 million? The 'portion' referred to here should be the standard amount each of Da Liu and the others use, right?

When she saw this price, Ge Bai couldn't help but carefully count the zeros after 75.

That's right, it's 7.6 million.

She lifted her head and gave the three lively little ones frolicking in the courtyard a complex look.

7.6 million + 7.6 million + 7.6 million = 22.8 million

Even renting a house that costs 840,000 per year makes her feel heartbroken.

These guys just consumed over 20 million worth of resources in one go?! No wonder beast tamers and Spirit Plant Masters are said to burn money, especially when cultivating high-tier combat-type pets is unaffordable—this is really expensive! Actually, Ge Bai overthought it; how many mortal realm pets can actually afford high-tier resources?

High-tier resources like temporal soil that have no usage level restrictions for spirit plants are inherently rare.

Ordinary spirit plants only consider using a portion when they reach overlord level, or even commander level.

If it weren't for the Shennong System and the Cave Heaven Sovereign vying for her, Ge Bai couldn't have equipped all her pets like a wholesale deal, even giving that layabout Xiao Tao a portion.

Even so, there's still half a box left stuffed into Qian Dai's spatial bag.

Not only that, the high price of temporal soil is also related to the inherently high value of spatiotemporal resources. Pressing the return key, Ge Bai saw many gray images on the high-tier spatiotemporal resources page—many bizarre resources, but all showed temporarily out of stock.

But browsing it from time to time to broaden one's horizons is also a good thing.

Opening the wind-attribute resource list, all items are automatically sorted from low to high level.

Level 1 wind oath stone, level 2 wind spirit liquid—these are relatively common resources, also available on the market.

However, the Spirit Plant Master Intelligence Research Institute's resource library can provide steadily, with no purchase limits, no quantity limits, and prices somewhat cheaper than the market.

It's possible that these few low-attribute materials are actually produced by the Spirit Plant Research Institute.

Skipping level 1 and 2 resources, Ge Bai directly flipped to the level 3 wind-system resource list.

Da Liu is still in the mortal realm; logically, level 1 resources should be sufficient for him.

Even if wealthy families spare no expense in raising pets, in the mortal realm the spiritual power resources given to pets are at most level 1–2 of that attribute.

As a result, there are simply too many wind-system resources.

Ge Bai thought for a moment and sent Lu Nan a message: 【If I want to prepare materials to boost Da Liu's spiritual power, do you have any good recommendations?】 She didn't expect Lu Nan to reply instantly.

【For mortal realm spirit plants, what's there to fuss over? Just pile up wind oath stone and wind spirit liquid.】 Seeing Lu Nan say that, Ge Bai frowned slightly.

【Feeling, is it lacking a bit?】 Lu Nan's reply was also quick.

【Then just add one kind of mid-tier level-4 wind-system material; don't add too much, don't mix varieties, one kind is enough.】 Ge Bai didn't rush to ask Lu Nan which level-4 wind-system material was suitable; instead, she first pulled up the wind-system resource list and opened the level-4 wind-system resources.

The Spirit Plant Research Institute's level-4 wind-system resources total 17 kinds: wind spirit dust, wind xuan stone, wind hua wood, wind crystal powder, dancing wind sand……

The related descriptions are also very detailed.

After picking and choosing, Ge Bai still felt dazzled.

【Wind crystal powder, what do you think? Feels like it would be absorbed more easily.】 Ge Bai sent another message to Lu Nan, and Lu Nan replied with a bunch of puff puff.

【I remember there's still a complete piece of wind hua wood in the Spirit Plant Research Institute's resource library; you pick wind hua wood.】 【This batch of wind hua wood is what I brought out from a secret realm back then; the quality is quite good.】 【You're mainly doing this to pile up a spiritual power room for Da Liu, right? Wind hua wood's spiritual power release is somewhat violent, but if you soak it in wind spirit liquid and place it together with wind oath stone, the effect will definitely be outstanding—not just for the mortal realm, even low-tier transcendent realm users would have no problem.】 Since Lu Nan said all that, what's there to hesitate about?

She decisively placed the order—how much should she buy?

Ge Bai was hesitating, but first she bought back the complete piece of wind hua wood that Lu Nan mentioned.

This wind hua wood isn't cheap either—it costs a full 1.75 million.

However, after purchasing it, Ge Bai discovered that the Spirit Plant Research Institute's database is still very user-friendly.

It automatically popped up a chat window, asking Ge Bai whether she was configuring a wind-attribute spiritual power room.

After receiving an affirmative answer, it automatically calculated the most suitable amounts of wind spirit liquid and wind oath stone for Ge Bai.

Ge Bai directly purchased the recommended amounts of wind spirit liquid and wind oath stone.

Today's total expenditure came to 2,950,000 Alliance Coins.

This was still purchased at a discount using the highest‑tier talent rate of the Spirit Plant Research Institute by Ge Bai; otherwise it would have cost around 3,200,000 Alliance Coins.

No matter how you look at it, it's not expensive; buying the same on the open market would cost over 3,000,000 Alliance Coins, and you wouldn't even be able to buy back these Wind Spirit Liquids and Wind Oath Stones.

At last it's settled; it can be delivered tomorrow.

Just while touring the various rooms, Ge Bai had already noticed with sharp eyes that the basement had two finished Spirit Power Rooms; once the materials arrive, they can simply be stacked inside.

A major matter has been resolved.
