Green Gourd Mutation, New Storage Tool (3/3)

Bang bang bang~

As the vibrations continued, the originally uneven ground gradually became smooth.

The stone turned to dust.

The weeds turned to dust.

As the sun was about to set, the second acre of Spirit Fields was finally successfully cultivated.

The next step is to expend Earth Spiritual Power to infuse the soil with Earth Qi.

Compared to loosening the soil, this is the most difficult part, and it cannot be done by one person alone.

"Thank you all for your hard work." Xu Changqing brought over a table and placed clean spring water on it.

Wu Guangman and the others would take breaks from time to time, and drink some of the still-cool spring water.

Everyone gathered around the new Grade-Two Spirit Field, continuously circulating the [Earthdraw Formula] to draw in the surrounding Earth Qi and then pour it into the soil beneath their feet.

Gradually, the originally yellowish-brown and even somewhat dry soil, under the influence of a large amount of Earth Qi, became sticky and even turned a little black.

But it still doesn't look like true Black Soil.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but ask, "This doesn't seem to be Black Soil, does it?"

Wu Guangman nodded slightly. "Senior Brother Xu is right. This is only the initial stage of Black Soil. In the future, you will have to use Slash-and-Burn Farming methods to continuously allow the soil to absorb nutrients from the Spirit Plant. You may even have to add Spirit Beast Manure to it for several years."

Their method of infusing the plants with Earth Qi is somewhat similar to "Seedling Pulling" in Spirit Plant.

Moreover, it will not quickly form nutrient-rich Black Soil.

It has only reached the initial stage. Xu Changqing needs to nurture it little by little until it becomes the same color as the Black Soil in the adjacent acre of Grade-Two Spirit Field before it can be considered complete.

The whole process will be exceptionally long, but fortunately, cultivators have no shortage of time.

"Okay." Xu Changqing kept it in mind.

Wu Guangman blinked. "Of course, if Senior Brother Xu wants to speed things up, he can ask us to infuse him with Earth Qi every now and then. This will accelerate the formation process and improve the quality of your Spirit Plant."

Xu Changqing waved his hand. "We'll see."

Hiring a team with Earth Spirit Root would definitely cost a lot of Spirit Stone; it's better to just steal a little from the Stone Mountain every day.

Even at the Foundation Establishment Realm, one must not be extravagant or wasteful, and must not attract the attention of others.

Another half hour passed, and it was completely dark. Wu Guangman and the others said they needed to rest and wanted to go back to recover before finishing the rest the next day.

To put it bluntly, every extra day they delay means their entire team gets paid for one more day.

Xu Changqing didn't care about this. Since it wasn't his money, there was no need to expose the thoughts of these Earth Spirit Root disciples. He might even need to cooperate with them in the future.

After these people left, he turned and went into the cabin to start cooking dinner.

Half an hour later, the fragrant food was placed on the dining table.

A plate of tomatoes with white sugar.

A plate of [scrambled eggs with tomatoes].

Three cups of fresh tomato juice.

In short, tonight's dinner was all about tomatoes.

To celebrate acquiring the second acre of Spirit Fields, some golden Mutated Spirit Grain was specially steamed this time.

I thought Wangwang and the Pearl Chicken would really like it, but after waiting for ages, there wasn't a single sound from outside.

"What's going on?" Xu Changqing asked, puzzled, as he approached the door and looked to the other side.

But they found that Wangwang and the Pearl Chicken were still fast asleep in the same spot where they had been sitting.

Seeing this, he didn't disturb them, leaving some food behind before starting to eat himself.

Mix tomatoes with white sugar, and cut each piece into a crescent shape.

It looks bright red and translucent, and the flesh inside is very juicy.

When the white sugar is first sprinkled on, each grain is distinct, resembling granular snowflakes.

It's melted a bit now, blending with the tomato juice, like a thick syrup.

Taking a bite, the still-unmelted sugar is quite sweet and crunchy, while as you continue chewing, the sour taste of the tomato bursts forth.

The sweet and sour flavors mingled together, causing saliva to be secreted wildly in the mouth.

The sweet and sour flavors were already appetizing, and the food this time was also very much to his liking. In addition, he was in high spirits because of the happy occasion, so Xu Changqing ate heartily and finished off his portion completely.

They were practically licking the plate clean!

After finishing his meal, he immediately washed the dishes and chopsticks, then took a bottle of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice Wine and slowly walked out of the house, plopping down on a creaking wooden chair.

I looked up at the starry sky.

While drinking the Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice Wine.

Their appetites were satisfied.

The abundant Spiritual Qi brings a feeling of fullness.

In addition, there were the familiar sounds of insects chirping and frogs croaking.

The relaxed atmosphere made Xu Changqing cross his legs.

He mumbled under his breath, "Remember when you said home was..."

The next day arrived.

The autumn morning was slightly chilly.

The leaves gradually turned yellow and withered, and every now and then a leaf would fall.

Xu Changqing opened the door and went out. He glanced at Wangwang and found that it was already awake.

As soon as its owner arrived, the dog's eyes became quite fawning, and its tail wagged wildly.

But it remained lying down, showing no intention of getting up.

It seems they are still adapting, and it's unclear when they will be able to completely refine the Spiritual Qi.

Xu Changqing looked at the Pearl Chicken again and found that it was still asleep and had even started to shed feathers.

Currently, the two children have undergone significant changes in their bodies after absorbing Spiritual Qi this time.

Since that was the case, he didn't disturb them. After patting Wangwang's head, he began his daily routine.

First, clean up the dog poop and chicken poop at the entrance.

Later, at the Spirit Fields, he absorbed a small amount of Wood Qi into his body.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he removed all the weeds around the Spirit Rice.

Once all that was done, he started using his Verdant Touch Finger one by one.

This time, let's start with three relatively rare Spirit Plant.

The first plant is a [Green Gourd].

The second one is [Blazing Fire Vine].

The third plant is [Earth-Attracting Grass].

However, as soon as the right index finger touched the first [Green Gourd], a "ding" sound rang out.

"Huh?" Xu Changqing exclaimed in surprise.

Then, the [Green Gourd] in front of us began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Logically, as it grows, its size should gradually increase.

In addition, Xu Changqing has been using the Green Lotus Domain to "Seedling Pulling" during this period.

Therefore, the string of green gourds above is almost the size of an adult's palm.

But now, its color is becoming increasingly emerald green, and its size is starting to shrink.

Xu Changqing remembered clearly that there were three known mutation types of the Green Gourd.

1. An oval-shaped Ladle Gourd.

2. Mini Gourd with a bright green color.

3. Giant Gourd with an enormous size.

Based on current information, this mutation type belongs to the second category.

As time went on, things turned out exactly as predicted.

Not only was its size reduced to that of a baby's fist, but its color was also emerald green.

In particular, the number has exceeded twenty, and they are still growing one after another.

A mutated Mini Gourd is currently valued at 60 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone on the market.

If refined into a storage item, one could sell for 300 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone!!!
