Chapter 881: Modifying Immortal Seeds

The back garden of Guanghan Palace is not very large, only about five or six mu of land.

Yet only half of the ground is planted with various immortal flowers.

They are a riot of color, with a fragrance that strikes the nose.

Yin Qi was surprised at first, not expecting that these immortal flowers could actually grow on the Lunar Star, but he soon saw the problem; although these immortal flowers were vibrant, they always gave one the feeling that they were about to wither.

He also discovered that the soil in this garden was not lunar soil, but should be immortal soil that Changxi had brought back from the Primordial Continent.

Otherwise, with the lunar soil of the Lunar Star, it would be impossible to keep these immortal flowers alive.

Changxi said, "I presume you have also seen the crux of the matter; the Lunar Qi on this Lunar Star can freeze all vitality. Even though I have laid down a thick layer of immortal soil and sealed it with an Array Formation, I still cannot prevent the encroachment of the Lunar Qi."

In a few decades' time, these immortal flowers will all wither away.

I am not asking you to completely solve the problem of the Lunar Qi; as long as you can extend the blooming period of the immortal flowers to several hundred years, I will not only promise to give you a small section of the Laurel Tree branch, but I will also gift you ten jars of laurel wine."

Yin Qi smiled and said, "This matter is not difficult."

Changxi said coldly, "Do not speak recklessly. You know the price of deceiving me."

The Jade Rabbit also hurriedly said, "Yin Emperor, you must not have any bad intentions and try to deceive my master. If there is a way, there is a way; if there is no way, there is no way."

Yin Qi smiled lightly and said, "Star Lord, Miss Jade Rabbit, just listen to me first. I have three methods here: two that treat the symptoms, and one that treats the root cause. If it is the root-cause method, a small section of the Laurel Tree branch and ten jars of laurel wine are not enough."

The Jade Rabbit exclaimed, "Three methods, and one can even treat the root cause!"

Changxi was somewhat skeptical and said, "Tell me about them. If you can truly treat the root cause, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."

Yin Qi nodded and said, "Let me first speak of the two methods that treat the symptoms. The first method is to seal the Lunar Qi with an Array Formation. Although the Star Lord's Array Formation is not bad, I believe that in terms of attainment in Array Formations, I should be a bit stronger than the Star Lord. I can impart the Array Formation to the Star Lord, and it will not be a problem to let the immortal flowers survive for several hundred years."

Although Changxi is a cultivator at the Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage, she is not proficient in Array Formations.

The Array Formation that Yin Qi spoke of can not only seal the Lunar Qi but also generate Qi of Creation to nourish the immortal flowers.

Changxi nodded noncommittally.

Yin Qi continued, "The second method is also an Array Formation. I can set up a Time Array that slows down the flow of time. Although it can only slow it down by ten times, it is enough for the Star Lord to enjoy the blooming period of the immortal flowers for several hundred years."

Changxi plants these immortal flowers mainly for viewing.

As long as the view is not obstructed, it does not matter even if time is slowed down.

Yin Qi added, "These two methods can also be superimposed to create a thousand-year blooming period for viewing."

A look of surprise flashed in Changxi's eyes: "You actually understand Time Arrays? I am starting to believe you. What about the final method that treats the root cause?"

The Jade Rabbit on the side nodded repeatedly.

This Yin Emperor is truly remarkable.

Yin Qi smiled slightly and said, "The method to treat the root cause is also very simple. I am also proficient in the Dao of Immortal Planting. As long as I modify the seeds of the immortal flowers, they will be able to grow by absorbing the Lunar Qi just like the laurel."

"How certain are you?"

Changxi was truly surprised.

This Yin Emperor is truly multi-talented; he is actually also proficient in the Dao of Immortal Planting.

In fact, she had thought of this method long ago, and for this, she had studied it with her sister Xihe for hundreds of thousands of years.

The result, naturally, ended in failure.

They had also consulted many people, even the Dao Ancestor, and the answer was always that it was impossible.

Consequently, they had completely given up hope.

Although she was suspicious of Yin Qi, this matter could not be faked, and she believed that Yin Qi would not dare to deceive her.

A mere Peak Great Luo daring to deceive a Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage powerhouse—and a female Quasi-Saint known for being petty at that—would just be waiting to be hunted down across the entire Primordial Continent later.

"Ten parts certainty, but I still need a small section of the Laurel Tree branch as a reference. Modifying seeds is not about imagining things out of thin air or making them up; I need to transplant the characteristic of the Laurel Tree, which is able to absorb Lunar Qi, into the seeds."

Yin Qi said confidently. In reality, he did not have this ability, but he had the Luck Altar.

He had already communicated with the Luck Altar earlier; it could modify various seeds to adapt to the environment of the Lunar Star.

The required luck was also not very expensive.

If it were an Immortal Seed, it would only cost one zhang of luck per seed type.

If it were a Spiritual Seed, it would be at least ten zhang.

But if it were an Acquired Spiritual Root, or even an Innate Spiritual Root, two or three chi would be enough.

In a forbidden zone of life like the Lunar Star, the higher the grade of the seed, the stronger its natural ability to survive, and naturally, the easier it is to modify.

Hearing Yin Qi explain even the principles of the modification, Changxi could not help but gain a bit more confidence.

Her tone also became much lighter: "Very well. Little Yu, go now and cut off a section of the Laurel Tree branch."

"Alright."

Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... shu.... ba....!

The Jade Rabbit hopped and skipped as she ran outside.

Yin Qi continued, "Star Lord, it is like this: different seeds require different modification methods, and it is quite time-consuming.

How about this: I will first modify one type of seed here in Guanghan Palace, and then use the Dao of Creation to hasten its growth.

After confirming that it can fully grow by absorbing the Lunar Qi, we can then discuss the matter of modifying other seeds."

As one of the oldest Innate God Demons in the Primordial Continent, the foundation Changxi has accumulated is certainly extraordinary.

Since there is an opportunity to earn a profit, he naturally will not miss it.

By charging according to the type and quantity of seeds, he can do business continuously.

Although Changxi is ancient, her temperament is simple, so she naturally did not understand the twists and turns in Yin Qi's heart. Believing it to be true, she nodded and said, "Very well. How long does it take to modify one type of seed?"

Yin Qi said, "In reality, modifying the seeds does not take much time; the main thing is that the Deduction of the specific modification method for the corresponding seed takes time, about a month. Furthermore, the higher the grade of the seed, the lower the difficulty of modification, and the shorter the time."

Changxi flipped her hand, and twelve seeds appeared on her jade-like palm. She said, "These are seeds I obtained by chance when I traveled the Primordial Continent in my early years. They are called Dream Luo Flowers, a high-grade Acquired Spiritual Root.

This flower is extremely vibrant when it blooms, dreamlike and illusory, and the fragrance it emits can make one recall various beautiful experiences.

If consumed, it has the effect of forgetting sorrows and Entering the Dao in a dream."

As expected of Changxi, she makes a move with seeds of a high-grade Acquired Spiritual Root, and one that has long been extinct in the Honghuang.

In fact, since ancient times, countless Spiritual Roots and Immortal Seeds have gone extinct in the Honghuang.

This type of Acquired Spiritual Root is not even recorded in the "Shennong Pill Classic".

"Good."

A sharp light flashed in Yin Qi's eyes as he took the seeds and said, "However, in the process of Analysis of the seeds, one or two might be damaged."

Changxi said, "It does not matter."

At this moment, the Jade Rabbit also came hopping back, holding a thick branch about three meters long in its hand, covered in dense osmanthus flowers that emitted an intoxicating fragrance.

"Here, for you!"

The Jade Rabbit thrust the branch directly in front of Yin Qi, not noticing at all the somewhat gloomy expression on Changxi's face.

"Ahem!"

Yin Qi gave a light cough, accepted the Laurel Tree branch, and said, "Star Lord, please arrange a palace chamber for me."

"Xiao Yu, you take him there."

In the end, Changxi did not flare up, but nodded indifferently and said. (End of chapter)
