Encountering Long Panpan Again

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Long Xuan opened his tired eyes and looked at the tree branch he had planted in the High-Grade Spirit Soil, his eyes shining with excitement.

Clearly, he had been working tirelessly on his research, staying up all night.

But in the end, hard work pays off. Through repeated experiments in the Origin Realm, and with the help of his cheat system, he actually managed to develop the Cutting Propagation Technique for the spirit tree.

At this moment, he successfully planted four branches of the Divine Dragon Tree in the four cardinal directions of Little Poverty Peak. The moment the progress bar appeared, Long Xuan knew that the four trees would definitely survive, and his Cutting Propagation Technique was considered a success.

Through continuous experimentation and research in the Origin Realm, he discovered that Earth-grade Spirit Medicine would plunder the nutrients of the surrounding land and the spiritual energy in the surrounding sky.

Therefore, there must be a great distance between different Earth-grade Spirit Medicine- Earth-grade Spirit Medicine herbs; they must not be planted too densely, otherwise there will not be enough nutrients in the soil.

Furthermore, if low-grade spirit medicine are planted near Earth-grade Spirit Medicine, their nutrients will be stolen, and they will not be able to survive.

This meant that despite developing the Cutting Propagation Technique, he was still unable to cultivate high-quality Earth-grade Spirit Medicine on a large scale, and could only cultivate a small number of them.

Earth-grade Spirit Medicine is such a waste of land.

However, Long Xuan was already satisfied with planting only four Divine Dragon Tree. Four Divine Dragon Tree were more than enough for him, and there was no need to plant more.

Long Xuan excitedly folded the paper with the Cutting Propagation Technique written on it and put it into the small box.

Although he only spent a short time researching the Cutting Propagation Technique and succeeded in it in just one night, it is no exaggeration to say that the Cutting Propagation Technique is definitely another great invention in the world. Once it is spread, it will be an epoch-making revolution.

Although Earth-grade Spirit Medicine and Heaven-grade Spirit Medicine possess endless lifespans, they are also extremely difficult to reproduce. Heaven and earth are fair; if something defies the heavens, then there will inevitably be limitations.

However, once this technology is developed, it will enable even the most difficult-to-breed Earth and Heaven-grade Spirit Medicine to reproduce. This is absolutely terrifying and incredibly revolutionary.

Imagine if the Long Family planted a lot of Divine Dragon Tree, then all the Long Family Gu cultivators' Evil Dragon Emperor Eye could undergo a perfect transformation, and they wouldn't have to fight tooth and nail at the Gu-Dueling Tournament for a single spot to cleanse their eyes.

It's no exaggeration to say that although this technology is short, consisting of only a few pages, its value is absolutely worth hundreds of billions.

He absolutely could not expose this technology; it had to be permanently sealed away and used secretly by only himself.

Such amazing technology, if exposed, would surely bring about a fatal disaster, or even cause widespread chaos.

Even if this technology could fetch a lot of money, Long Xuan would never dare to trade it, not even to Lineage.

Now that the Divine Dragon Tree has been successfully planted, it is time to prepare to water it with plenty of Divine Dragon Tree" blood".

To plant four Divine Dragon Tree, he needs to establish a vast ranch, and this must be done now; there's no time to delay.

So at daybreak, he went down the mountain again, ready to trade a large number of herbivorous cattle and sheep spirit beasts.

Despite not having slept all night, he was now wide awake and had no intention of catching up on sleep, so he got busy again.

Long Xuan headed straight for the Long Family's market. The market was another trading place for the Lineage, where a large number of the Long Family members would come every day to set up stalls and trade various treasures from their Storage Bag.

The market served as a place for the Long Family's Gu cultivators to barter for each other.

The biggest difference between a market and Treasure Repository is that the treasures in Treasure Repository belong to the Lineage, while the treasures on market stalls belong to individuals.

Since he wants to open a ranch and trade a large number of spirit beasts, he will definitely need to trade with the Long Family Gu cultivators who run ranches, so the market is the most suitable place.

As soon as Long Xuan entered the market, he felt as if he had entered a bustling marketplace. The noise was deafening, with constant bargaining and a lively atmosphere.

The only difference was that the stall owners and traders in the market were all Gu cultivators from the Long Family, all members of the same Lineage, so there was less wariness and more friendliness.

Long Xuan didn't immediately go to trade for the cubs; there were plenty of those, no need to rush. He decided to browse around first and see if there were any other treasures he needed.

Before long, he stopped in front of a stall that sold fish. The tank contained various colored spirit fish swimming around.

It's not hard to see that this stall owner runs a fishpond, earning Cultivation Resources by selling spirit fish.

Long Xuan suddenly stopped in front of the stall, not because there was a bargain to be found, but because he remembered that there was a spiritual Spirit Spring in his Little Poverty Peak. The Spirit Spring was full of spiritual energy, which was perfect for raising spirit fish.

If the spirit fish lived in Spirit Spring and received ample spiritual energy, it would surely grow rapidly, with plump and delicious flesh, making it a rare delicacy.

Since the Spirit Spring is empty anyway, why not use it to raise some spiritual fish? Since I already have a ranch, I might as well make a fishpond too, so I'll have fresh spiritual fish to eat in the future.

He fondly remembered the fish stew from his previous life, believing that the spirit fish of this world, nourished by the Earth Spiritual Power, would taste even more delicious.

So Long Xuan acted on impulse and immediately decided to buy some fish fry and build a fishpond.

How much is your fish? Do you have any higher-end options? What's the best-tasting fish variety?

Long Xuan looked at the stall owner and asked.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the stall owner was someone he recognized—not exactly someone he knew well, but someone he remembered very well. This stall owner was none other than Long Panpan, whom he had just lectured.

At this moment, Long Panpan sat on the white cloth in a duck-like posture, looked up and stared at him blankly for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. It was clear that she also had a very deep impression of this man.

"Oh, it's you! You chose spirit fish primarily based on taste; looks like you're a foodie."

"But you've come to the right person. The most delicious fish in the world has to be the Golden Dragonfish. It's said that the meat of the Golden Dragonfish has the deliciousness of a dragon. Eating Golden Dragonfish is like eating dragon meat, so it is extremely popular among foodies, and its price has been driven up to an astronomical level."

"However, any creature with the character 'dragon' in its name is no ordinary creature. Golden Dragonfish are extremely rare and hard to find. Even if you do find one, Golden Dragonfish are very difficult to raise artificially. These spirit fish are very delicate, and very few people know how to raise Golden Dragonfish."

"Things are valued for their rarity, therefore the Golden Dragonfish is a luxury item in this world, with a price but no market, and it's very difficult to buy even if you spend a lot of Spirit Stone."

"You've come to the right person. My sister runs the Lineage's fishing business. This morning, the fleet caught five Golden Dragonfish, and they're still alive. Live fish are the most delicious when cooked."

"Sorry, but I'm a foodie too. I'm saving the Golden Dragonfish for lunch, so it's not for sale!"

Long Xuan was taken aback. If you're not going to sell it, why are you rambling on and on? Aren't you just deliberately making people curious?

There were plenty of stalls selling spirit fish, and he didn't necessarily have to sell at this one. But she described the Golden Dragonfish as a rare delicacy, even saying it tasted like dragon meat, which piqued his curiosity.

What does dragon meat taste like according to legend? His stomach was instantly rumbling with anticipation.

Unfortunately, it seemed that only her family had Golden Dragonfish. After she piqued her curiosity, she angrily said that she wasn't selling it.

She did it on purpose! That little vixen is infuriating!

Long Xuan pondered for a moment. He was quite interested in this Golden Dragonfish, not only because it tasted the most delicious, but also because very few people knew how to raise Golden Dragonfish, which was the most important thing.

His various abilities are so well-suited for research that figuring out how to raise Golden Dragonfish was really not difficult for him.

He likes raising things that no one else knows how to raise, only he does.

Why would he go to such lengths to raise something that anyone can raise in Spirit Spring? Spirit Spring is meant for high-end fish species; it's a waste of talent to raise common, low-quality fish.

Having made up his mind, he immediately added, "If you don't want to sell, why have you spent so much time introducing the Golden Dragonfish to me? Since you've explained it in such detail, you must want to sell, you just want to raise the price."

"I won't waste any more words. I retrieved quite a bit of Mid-Grade Spirit Soil from the Empress's Tomb, gave half to the Long Qilin, and now I have half left."

"If you give me one male and one female Golden Dragonfish, these Mid-Grade Spirit Soil are yours."

The saying goes, "Pinch the seven-inch mark of a person." Long Xuan knew that Long Panpan needed Mid-Grade Spirit Soil. It could be said that the entire Long Family of Gu cultivators with the Earthworker needed Mid-Grade Spirit Soil.

Mid-Grade Spirit Soil is extremely rare in this barren region. Earthworker cultivated using Mid-Grade Spirit Soil is definitely much stronger than the vast majority of Earthworker of his own kind.

Therefore, Mid-Grade Spirit Soil holds a fatal attraction for every Long Family Gu cultivator.

As expected, upon hearing that Long Xuan was prepared to exchange Mid-Grade Spirit Soil for the golden dragon Golden Dragonfish, Long Panpan's eyes immediately lit up with joy.

Long Xuan actually underestimated how important Mid-Grade Spirit Soil was to her.

Mid-Grade Spirit Soil can do much more than just make Earthworker stronger. You should know that Earthworker are now a key Gu Insect that the Lineage is supporting. Every year, the Lineage holds various competitions for Earthworker, with amazing rewards.

Once her Earthworker undergoes its most powerful transformation, it will be able to easily defeat other Earthworker of the same clan, making it easy for her to win the Earthworker competition, which would bring her a huge reward of contribution points.

The key is that the Earthworker Tournament is held every year, which is like a steady stream of income, giving him another stable source of wealth.

Therefore, in her mind Mid-Grade Spirit Soil is equivalent to a large amount of contribution points. She absolutely has to exchange for Mid-Grade Spirit Soil, and she will do so at any cost.

Long Panpan immediately licked her lips, looking excited, and said, "Are you sure you want to trade Mid-Grade Spirit Soil for my Golden Dragonfish? You won't back out?"

Long Xuan possessed High-Grade Spirit Soil, so why would he care about a mere Mid-Grade Spirit Soil? He decisively replied, "Of course I won't go back on my word. If you agree, we can proceed with the transaction now."
