The following afternoon, Lin Mo returned to the backyard.
A new crop of spirit plants had ripened!
More than half a year had passed since he obtained the Treasure Gourd, and Lin Mo had never stopped cultivating mutated spirit plants.
For every spirit plant that had yet to mutate, Lin Mo watered it with two drops of spirit spring water at a time. After keeping this up for roughly half a year, all the Fire Spirit Fruit and Golden Coin Grass had mutated and advanced in grade, much to his delight.
Although the spirit rice plants had not mutated, they had advanced in grade without a hitch. By Lin Mo's estimate, the quality of their spirit rice should now be close to that of Purple-Patterned Rice Plants.
Spirit plants seem to mutate only once. After that, watering them with more spirit spring water no longer has any effect.
Lin Mo studied the Mutated Fire Spirit Fruit plant before him, silently pondering.
This was not something he had discovered by chance, but the conclusion of repeated experiments.
Once a spirit plant had mutated, no amount of spirit spring water could further change its growth rate or the quality of its spirit fruit.
This also made Lin Mo realize that his fanciful idea of continually mutating and upgrading low-grade spirit plants until they became top-grade ones was unrealistic.
Once I get my hands on Purple-Patterned Rice Plants, I'll have seventh-grade spirit plants as soon as they mutate and advance...
At the thought, excitement burned in Lin Mo's heart.
Seventh-grade spirit plants were exceedingly rare. At least, he had never seen any in the Spirit Plant Courtyard. The Inner Sect might have some, but Lin Mo was not certain.
Since joining the Azure Cloud Sect, he had never visited Sect Master Peak, so
