An Immortal-Grade Plant Delivered to His Door
Lying on his bed, Li Xuan opened the System Mall.
[System Mall] [One Meat, Two Vegetables Boxed Meal x1... 1 point] [Guihehe Mineral Water x1... 1 point] [Thirty-Thousand-Year Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum x1... 50,000 points] [Bread Grass Seeds (Special Offer)... 10 points (Original Price: 200 points)]
He skillfully exchanged for the boxed meal and water. Li Xuan was still growing, after all—he could not go hungry.
He did not even look at the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum before skipping past it. With his current finances, he simply could not afford it.
As for the final item, it caught Li Xuan's attention.
"Bread Grass? I've heard of bread trees before. I just don't know whether these two plants have the same effects." Li Xuan frowned, hesitating over whether to spend points on the Bread Grass.
After a moment's hesitation, Li Xuan bought the Bread Grass outright. It was a discounted item, so its value had to exceed its price.
As Li Xuan confirmed the purchase, a flash of white light passed by, and a seed resembling a white kidney bean appeared before him.
Li Xuan checked the seed's attributes.
[Plant: Bread Grass] [Quality: Heavenly Treasures] [Age: 0 years] [Description: A seed with miraculous functions. Its growth cycle is ten days. It can bear a Bread Fruit, which can be opened to randomly obtain bread. It has low environmental requirements.] [Note: A system-exclusive plant with miraculous functions.]
"System-exclusive, not a local plant, and it's even a Heavenly Treasures-quality plant. Does that mean the fruit it produces could be extremely beneficial to people?" Li Xuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the seed in his hand in delight.
After eating boxed meals for several days, he finally had a chance to change things up, though bread was not exactly delicious either.
Li Xuan climbed out of bed and, under the moonlight, took a flowerpot from the courtyard. He filled it with soil, watered it, and planted the Bread Grass seed inside.
After thinking it over, Li Xuan still carried the flowerpot back into his room.
It was a Heavenly Treasures-quality plant. He was worried someone might steal it.
After returning to his room and sitting on the bed, Li Xuan began eating his boxed meal.
He had been busy all day and was exhausted. His stomach had long been growling with hunger.
After eating, Li Xuan stretched a little, then lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Li Xuan got up bright and early.
After moving around a little, Li Xuan began inspecting the seedling containers one by one.
A few minutes later, Li Xuan had finished checking every seed. The germination rate was one hundred percent, and all the flower seedlings were in excellent condition. They could be transplanted into flowerpots today and officially planted.
"Today will be another hard day." Li Xuan smiled and nodded as he looked at the thriving flower seedlings in the courtyard.
Li Xuan first carried over the flowerpots from the corner of the courtyard, filled them with soil, watered them, then carefully transplanted the seedlings into the pots one by one before arranging the pots throughout the courtyard.
Although these flower seedlings all required different growing conditions, Li Xuan had the Little Green Bottle, a cheat-like tool. He did not need to care for their individual needs at all. The moment he watered them with diluted Green Spirit Liquid, they began growing wildly.
Suddenly, Li Xuan sensed someone approaching nearby and abruptly raised his head.
In the distance, a bedraggled young man of seventeen or eighteen dressed in rags stood uneasily outside Li Xuan's courtyard.
The young man looked dejected and discouraged, his sorrowful eyes fixed on Li Xuan.
Li Xuan stared at the young man before him in surprise. Were there even beggars working in the Flower Sea?
"Hello, may I ask what you need?" Though puzzled, Li Xuan still walked openly to the courtyard wall and spoke to the young man.
"Um... I have a seed that I can't grow. I... I want to trade it for a seed that's easier to plant. Is that okay? Of course, I... I'm not asking for it for nothing. I can pull weeds and water plants for you. I can work for you!" The young man looked extremely nervous as he stammered his words to Li Xuan, clearly terrified that Li Xuan would refuse.
Bai Wen had no other choice. After breakfast yesterday, he had returned to his thatched hut and checked every seed in his seed pouch. Then he had traded with others several times, only to discover that he still did not recognize forty percent of his seeds, much less know how to cultivate them.
If he kept planting with such a success rate, Bai Wen's chances of raising his seeds into flowers would be far too low. He would inevitably become one of the many flower fertilizers.
Fortunately, Bai Wen remembered Li Xuan trading seeds with others during the day. So, with a try-it-and-see mindset, he came to Li Xuan's courtyard and picked out the prettiest seed among those he did not know how to plant, intending to trade it to Li Xuan.
"Big brother, don't be nervous. Of course we can trade seeds. But what is your name? Can I take a look at the seed?" Li Xuan sensed the young man's nervousness and asked with a smile.
"My name is Bai Wen. My Martial Soul Mutation is the Wind-Sleeping Bird. My Soul Power Level is 8, and I'm sixteen years old. This is my seed." Bai Wen was so nervous that he blurted out all his personal information before anxiously placing a red seed in Li Xuan's hand.
The seed was only the size of a grain of millet. Its entire body was golden, crystal-clear like jade, and its germ could vaguely be seen inside.
Li Xuan could also sense that the seed was extraordinary, so he opened the system and checked its attributes.
[Plant: Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum] [Quality: Immortal-Grade] [Age: 0 years] [Description: One of the top Immortal Grade Spirit Plants. It is naturally endowed with Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame, capable of burning souls and scorching minds. It cannot be used as medicine or consumed. It must grow near a volcano, absorbing the power of flames.]
"Holy crap! Immortal..." Li Xuan's eyes widened abruptly, but he stopped himself before finishing the word.
"What's wrong? Is this seed difficult to grow?" Bai Wen nervously stepped forward and grabbed Li Xuan's arm, afraid that Li Xuan would refuse him.
Li Xuan snapped back to his senses, calmly pulled his arm away, and tucked the seed into his chest.
A seed of this quality was safest against his body.
"Brother Bai Wen, don't be so polite with me. Just call me Little Xuan. I'll take your seed." Li Xuan nodded seriously at Bai Wen.
"Thank you, Little Xuan! Thank you, Little Xuan!" Bai Wen was so excited that he was nearly ready to kneel before Li Xuan.
"Brother Bai Wen, what type of flowers do you usually grow in the Flower Sea?" Li Xuan raised his head and asked Bai Wen with a dazzling smile.
He was already suppressing himself. Otherwise, the corners of his mouth would have stretched all the way to his ears.
"I usually grow roses," Bai Wen immediately replied.
"Roses... This! Take this!" As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, he ran back into the courtyard, took a flowerpot from among the many pots, and handed it to Bai Wen.
It was a rare-quality rose seedling. Once the seedling had been cultivated successfully, it only needed regular watering to survive. This rose perfectly met Bai Wen's requirements for the seed he wanted to trade.
Seeing the tender sprout in the flowerpot, Bai Wen was completely stunned and stared blankly at Li Xuan.
A cultivated flower seedling was far more valuable than a seed.
Bai Wen could not believe Li Xuan was willing to trade a flower seedling for his seed.
"Th-this... is this for me?" Bai Wen asked Li Xuan in shock.
