The original form of the Drunken Dragon Grass was a different flower called the Wine-Brewing Flower.
This flower has seven petals in seven colors, hence its other name, the Seven-Colored Flower.
Its flowers only bloom at night, and only for one night, before withering the next day.
When the Wine-Brewing Flower blooms, its fragrance fills the air, attracting countless nocturnal insects to pollinate it. Later, people discovered that adding this flower to wine, making it an auxiliary ingredient in the brewing process, would elevate the quality of the wine to a higher level.
This wine even has a slight effect on enhancing the power of the soul.
The Wine-Brewing Flower became extremely precious, and later, some interstellar races used it as a basis to carry out mutation cultivation, and explored a new mutated variety.
This mutated variety is called Drunken Dragon Grass.
Drunken Dragon Grass is a variant of Wine-Brewing Flower, but unfortunately it no longer blooms. Instead, it incorporates the characteristics of Wine-Brewing Flower into the entire plant.
Its unique spiritual power has also been sublimated and mutated, becoming a strange herb that can make dragon-blooded beings intoxicated upon smelling its scent.
Since it no longer flowers, it also lacks genetic ability and can only be cultivated through targeted mutation.
Moreover, its probability of occurrence is very low, less than one in 100,000.
It takes a lot of resources to cultivate 100,000 Wine-Brewing Flower plants in a targeted manner to have a chance of cultivating a single Drunken Dragon Grass.
Jiang Ziliu placed the cultivation of the Drunken Dragon Grass in the small world inside the Origin Divine Ship, the Divine Hammer.
After all, the environmental energy quality here is higher and more active than that in the Dwarf King's Hammer mini-world.
Even in its most dilapidated state, the Origin Divine Ship is far superior to a Demigod Artifact.
Here, Jiang Ziliu scattered ten million seeds of the painstakingly searched-for Wine-Brewing Flower.
These Wine-Brewing Flower seeds were soaked in a pool of blood-red stone for nearly ten days.
This pool of blood contains a large amount of blood from exotic beasts, which has been roughly proportioned according to the original owners' strength.
However, its core ingredients are derived from a drop of dragon blood from the Lightning Dragon Lady White and the blood of ten liters of Gold Rank Jiaolong.
In order to obtain the ten liters of Jiaolong blood, Jiang Ziliu secretly captured a strange beast-like Jiaolong to use as a blood pack.
This pool of dragon blood is merely a catalyst. By soaking the seeds, it imbues the Wine-Brewing Flower with some dragon characteristics, inducing them to produce special mutated power specific to dragons.
At the same time, a leaf from the Tree of Life was placed in the pool, filling the entire pool with life energy.
This maintains the probability that the seed embryo will die directly when it mutates within the pool and absorbs the dragon's blood properties.
At the same time, it can also increase the seed's absorption efficiency of dragon blood power, increasing the possibility of mutation.
This step was a process that Jiang Ziliu modified himself.
The original recipe used the Water of Life, but Jiang Ziliu changed it to the leaves of the Tree of Life and added a milder type of potion.
What truly transformed the Wine-Brewing Flower into the Drunken Dragon Grass was the land itself, and the environmental energy modification devices installed around it.
The soil in this area has been treated.
It contains bone powder from Dragon Race bloodlines and a special type of tree powder.
This type of tree is the wood used by monkey-like creatures to brew monkey wine with various fruits. It is infused with the aroma of monkey wine, so it is used as part of the soil additive, along with dragon's blood and bone powder to enhance the soil's ability to make plants produce an intoxicating effect.
In addition to these, other ingredients are added to the soil, which alters the effects of the two main ingredients. They do not directly "poison" the Wine-Brewing Flower seeds, but instead strengthen and mutate them.
The most important aspect of Wine-Brewing Flower cultivation for mutation is the environmental energy modification device.
This device uses a technology similar to an energy shield, which can transform the energy of the Soul Crystal into a near-fog-like transparent energy body.
This soul energy was fixed in the mutated cultivation soil of the Drunken Dragon Grass, allowing the soul energy to exist continuously and permeate into the Wine-Brewing Flower.
Wine-Brewing Flower that successfully mutates into a Drunken Dragon will absorb this soul power and undergo further mutations.
Ultimately Wine-Brewing Flower will generate countless variants.
But almost all of the variants bloom, and each one possesses a captivating fragrance that can intoxicate the soul.
Only the Wine-Brewing Flower that does not bloom, and that does not possess any Wine-Brewing Flower that other life can smell, is the true Drunken Dragon Grass.
It's not that it has no fragrance, but rather that its fragrance is directional; only beings with Dragon Race blood can smell it.
Moreover, its fragrance is the most beloved soul fragrance of the Dragon Race, a fragrance that can be perceived by the souls of dragons.
The transformation of the Wine-Brewing Flower into the dragon grass begins in its seed stage.
Each of its growth processes is itself a transformation from Wine-Brewing Flower to Drunken Dragon Grass.
The germination of a seed is a mutation, the growth of the first leaf is a mutation, and every step in the process of gradual growth is a gradual, targeted mutation.
The Drunken Dragon Grass itself is the result of consistently following the correct path through countless directional mutations and branches during the Wine-Brewing Flower.
Strictly speaking, it is no longer a plant, but a deformed, special life form that is incapable of reproduction.
After much effort and nearly a year, Jiang Ziliu managed to cultivate three Drunken Dragon Grass from nearly ten million Wine-Brewing Flower seeds.
This percentage is extremely low, with a success rate of only three in ten million.
This is Jiang Ziliu's modified cultivation plan for transforming Wine-Brewing Flower into Drunken Dragon Grass. However, in this plan, his goal is not a high success rate, nor is it a method to cultivate a large quantity of Drunken Dragon Grass.
Jiang Ziliu prioritizes quality. The three Drunken Dragon Grass he cultivated each had ten times the Drunken Dragon Grass effect of those cultivated using the normal method!
In order to obtain the Dragon Gate, he must use the highest quality Drunken Dragon Grass.
The proportion was very low, but fortunately Jiang Ziliu succeeded in achieving this.
The mutated Drunken Dragon Grass is only one foot tall, and its leaves have turned into curved, thread-like strands with forks. These features, along with the fake flower buds at its top, make it look like a small green dragon.
To a normal person, it is completely tasteless.
However, as long as a Dragon Race approaches them, the Dragon Race's own power will directly activate the Drunken Dragon Grass, causing it to emit a special dragon soul fragrance.
Jiang Ziliu conducted an experiment using the Lightning Dragon Lady White. As a result, as soon as she smelled the scent, the Lady White became uncontrollably intoxicated and fell into a daze.
Moreover, it instinctively crawled to the side of the Drunken Dragon Grass and fell asleep in this drunken dream.
Jiang Ziliu ignored Lightning Dragon Lady White and let it sleep soundly next to the Drunken Dragon Grass.
Strictly speaking, this Drunken Dragon Grass is beneficial and harmless to Dragon Race, because it can strengthen their souls by intoxicating Dragon Race!
On the surface, they appear to be asleep, but what truly has an effect is the instinct of the Dragon Race's life and soul.
The instinct of life and soul led to this method of strengthening the soul.
In a normal and safe environment, the Drunken Dragon Grass is also beneficial to Dragon Race.
The information on that copper plate revealed that even the Dragon Race itself was secretly cultivating the Drunken Dragon Grass.
However, its cost is too high, and the cost-effectiveness of soul enhancement is not as good as that of Soul Crystal.
However, it has no constraints and no side effects from enhancement, so it was used to cultivate Dragon Race geniuses.
Due to its low cost-effectiveness, Drunken Dragon Grass could not be widely adopted among the Dragon Race.
