Chu Qing coughed and said in a low voice:
"Madams, it's no problem for us to venture deep into the restricted zone to search for Exotic Flowers and Herbs!"
"But if we want to build an important stronghold, then the problem is huge."
"Have you forgotten the lesson of the Ninth Princess?"
Madam Jin said seriously, "That was because the Ninth Princess's Fire Pit was simply too weak!"
"But now, we have fire seeds!"
"We can condense fire seeds and continuously empower the Fire Pit!"
"This Fire Pit will grow stronger and stronger!"
Chu Qing's heart stirred. "How long do you think the interval is between condensing two fire seeds?"
Madam Jin said, "One hour!"
"If I rest for an hour, I can condense the next fire seed!"
Madam Shi, standing nearby, frowned. "I feel like I need to rest for a whole day!"
After pondering for a moment, Chu Qing said, "I can condense two fire seeds in succession!"
"But after that, I'll need to rest for half a day as well!"
Consort Mei and Zuo Yan had no ability to condense fire seeds, so they did not count.
Madam Jin frowned.
"You and Yu Ji are our strongest combat forces. You can't condense fire seeds."
"Looks like condensing fire seeds will have to rely on the three of us."
Chu Qing nodded.
"The three of you must each condense one fire seed every hour."
"Then we must keep feeding them into the Fire Pit."
"If we can't do that, we simply have no way to establish a stronghold deep in the restricted zone."
Madam Jin was rather discouraged.
Consort Mei and Zuo Yan, on the other hand, were brimming with enthusiasm.
"We'll work harder on our cultivation from now on. We'll definitely be able to condense fire seeds."
