"Vermillion Fruit Core..."
After sending the patients away, Fang Yuan glanced at the rapidly rising proficiency bar, then tossed the brocade box containing the Vermillion Fruit in his hand. He couldn't help feeling quite satisfied.
Perhaps the key to reaching level four in his Planting Skill lay in this.
"With the Land Strength of Hidden Valley, growing Vermillion Fruits is just a pipe dream. But it might be possible on Qingfeng Spiritual Land. Better safe than sorry!"
Fang Yuan entered the valley. The Flower Fox Ferret came racing over and circled him nonstop, clearly having spotted something good too.
"This is the most important seed. You can't chew it up!"
Fang Yuan covered the brocade box with his hand. "The Red Jade Spirit Rice will be ripe soon anyway. Are you worried you'll run out of food?"
"Chitter!"
At that, the Flower Fox Ferret agonized over it for a long while before finally making its choice, looking utterly aggrieved.
"That's more like it. Good ferret!"
Fang Yuan had barely finished praising it when the Flower Fox Ferret raised a paw and pointed toward the spiritual bamboo, its meaning perfectly clear.
"What... You want compensation after the spiritual bamboo bears fruit?"
Fang Yuan pressed a hand to his forehead. "You really don't like to lose out, do you... Hm? Wait!"
He saw that the Flower Fox Ferret's expression was unusual, as if it had stumbled upon a tremendous bargain. Sensing something out of the ordinary, he hurried over to the spiritual bamboo.
"Mm..."
Before he even reached it, he took a deep breath and felt himself enveloped by a clear, refreshing current.
"The air here is already every bit as pure as the Spiritual Land, but unfortunately, the spiritual energy is still lacking..."
He shook his head and crossed the canal.
