Chapter 104

Could it be a peach tree?

It's also too deformed.

In fact, most of the research materials in the Department of the Agronomy Department are about wheat and corn, and there are not many about fruit-bearing plants.

Fruit is great! You can harvest fruit many times over by planting one fruit tree.

I wonder how much longer my lifespan will be?

The tree-man mentioned the Bone Peach Clan to intimidate Li Yang, but he never expected that these three words would pique Li Yang's interest.

If that mother tree were to come looking for revenge, Li Yang wouldn't mind hosting her.

What if it really could be domesticated into a delicious peach tree...?

Li Yang has never tasted fruit from the Astral Realm before!

If wheat and chives are so delicious, wouldn't fruit be even better?

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Blue Crystal King strode forward and bowed deeply once more.

The other Blue Crystal Clan were also very excited and bowed to her.

The young man from the Blue Crystal Clan, Lan Yu, was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head, and his hair was still standing on end from nervousness.

Unlike before when it stood straight up due to excessive fright, this time the ends of the hair curled slightly upwards, transforming it from long, straight blue hair into curly hair.

Li Yang said, "No need to thank me, this is my task."

Logically, Li Yang should have used the teleportation key to return to the city, but since Li Yang hadn't found the Blue Crystal Soil yet, she was naturally reluctant to go back just like that.

Blue Crystal King said warmly, "The palace has prepared a victory banquet for you. We humbly request that Your Excellency grace us with your presence!"

Li Yang wasn't interested in eating and drinking; it was too much of a waste of her time.

She has already completed the kill and needs to meditate to break through the current realm. She will be very busy afterward and will not have time to enjoy herself here.

Li Yang shook his head and said, "There's no need for the banquet. I'm very interested in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain. Would it be possible to look around?"

Blue Crystal King immediately replied, "Of course!"

Li Yang didn't want this group of people following her, so she looked at the Blue Crystal -wearing youth and said, "Lan Yu Star Master, could you accompany me for a stroll?"

Hearing Li Yang address her like that, Lan Yu's hair sticks up even higher.

He was clearly very excited.

After all, Li Yang had demonstrated his strength, and the Venerable Ones of Huaxia were god-like beings in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain.

He was called the Star Master by the gods.

This is a tremendous affirmation for Lan Yu!

Blue Crystal King knew his crown prince's temperament well and, fearing he might anger Li Yang, said, "Lan Yu is young and may lack experience. Perhaps we should have our Blue Crystal Clan's royal advisor..."

"I'm just browsing casually," Li Yang said with a smile, sounding somewhat childlike. "Star Master Lan Yu is about my age; it'll be more fun with him leading the way."

Blue Crystal King suddenly realized.

Too.

They only remembered that the Venerable One was incredibly powerful, but forgot that she was also very young.

Regardless of race, there is always a generation gap between the young and the old, so it is understandable that Venerable Li wanted Lan Yu to accompany him.

As usual, Blue Crystal King gave another round of instructions, but Lan Yu, unusually, did not show any arrogance or irritability. Instead, he listened attentively and nodded obediently in agreement.

The reason Li Yang chose Lan Yu to accompany her was not because she actually had common ground with "peers".

What peers? This Lan Yu is just a little kid.

Among this group of the Blue Crystal Clan, Lan Yu was clearly the easiest to extract information from.

Compared to engaging in witty banter with a bunch of old scholars, the young man with the Blue Crystal in front of me is much more relaxed and simple.

Lan Yu, suppressing her excitement, approached Li Yang with her hair styled in a swaying motion and said, "Venerable One, please."

The Blue Crystal Clan has its own spacecraft, powered by Starlight.

Lan Yu was clearly a skilled driver. After the two got into the car, Li Yang asked, "Does your Blue Crystal Clan live off Blue Crystal Stone?"

While diligently piloting the aircraft, Lan Yu patiently replied, "Yes, the Blue Crystal Stone we produce are an important material for alchemy, and their quality is excellent. We supply them to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace every year..."

Despite his young age, Lan Yu knows a lot.

As Li Yang listened to him, she pondered in her heart--

No wonder the Blue Crystal Clan has difficulty growing and expanding; their industry is too singular.

Blue Crystal Stone is produced under very demanding conditions, requiring the Blue Crystal Clan to molt naturally.

Their molting cycle is very long, generally five to ten years.

The number of the Blue Crystal Clan is very limited, and they reproduce through molting.

For example, like a hen laying eggs, some eggs can be fertilized and hatch into chicks, while others become a dish on the dinner table.

The Blue Crystal Clan has a long molting cycle, and its reproduction rate is very low, so even though this Realm Domain has such precious materials, it remains poor and constrained.

Poverty limits the potential for personal growth.

It's not that they lack the ability to advance to the Fourth Grade, but rather that they lack the resources.

The Blue Crystal Stone sold by the Blue Crystal Clan each year is only enough to keep them running as they are now.

They can't even produce a Fourth Grade Realm.

Li Yang sighed with regret. She could tell that Lan Yu had good talent, and would be considered Heavenly Chosen even in the Huaxia Clan. Unfortunately, in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain, he could only reach the Third Grade.

Li Yang then asked, "Have you developed any other industries?"

Lan Yu said, "Venerable One, as you have seen, our Realm Domain has limited resources; we have nothing else."

It is indeed very simplistic.

Despite the abundance of blue, these blue stones cannot nurture Starlight.

It's only good-looking and serves no other purpose.

And there are many beautiful stones like these in every Realm Domain.

Even if it were intended for use as a building material, it would have to possess the affinity and capacity for Starlight, like the white jade of the Heavenly Palace.

Through a simple conversation, Li Yang learned what she wanted to know— the Blue Crystal Clan was unaware of the existence of Blue Crystal Soil.

Although the Nature Department has declined, many Star Wielders still cultivate in the outer layers, as it is still a profitable business.

If they knew that there was Blue Crystal Soil in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain, they would definitely mine it extensively.

At that time, the Blue Crystal Clan developed new industries.

No matter how small the Blue Crystal Realm Domain is, it's not something you can explore in a short time.

Li Yang directly asked the system, "Help me find Blue Crystal Soil."

[Do you wish to consume 500 years of your lifespan for path guidance?]

500 years it is...

It's still worth it.

After Li Yang consumed 500 years of his lifespan, a flashing cursor appeared before his eyes, along with a distance indicator.

Sister Longevity, you're really smart!

This navigation system still displays real-view images.

Li Yang pointed in a direction and said, "I want to go take a look over there."

Lan Yu had no objections and drove in the direction she indicated.

As they walked, Lan Yu said, "Venerable One, ahead lies a no-man's land, we..."

"No man's land?"

"Yes, it's a desert of shifting sands. If the Blue Crystal Clan were to wander in, they would be corroded and swallowed up."

Li Yang vaguely understood why the Blue Crystal Clan couldn't detect the existence of the Blue Crystal Soil.

So this thing is actually very dangerous to the Blue Crystal Clan!

Li Yang said, "Take me to see it."

Lan Yu hesitated for a moment.

Li Yang said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, you won't get hurt."

Lan Yu's hair curled upwards again, and he quickly said, "I don't doubt the Venerable One's strength, it's just that I was warned from a young age not to go to the no-man's-land, so..." He quickly stopped speaking, saying, "But if the Venerable One wishes to go, I will take you there right away!"

He took Li Yang to the uninhabited area of Blue Crystal Realm Domain.

As soon as she got closer, Li Yang could already sense the difference.

The Blue Crystal Realm Domain is surrounded by hard stone, but here it is a place that seems to be gently swaying like the sea.

That's not a liquid, it's "Blue Crystal Soil"!

Li Yang gasped in astonishment; this boundless expanse of blue was actually all Blue Crystal Soil.

She had assumed that this Blue Crystal Soil was a very rare existence in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain.

I never expected there to be so many; judging by the size, it's probably equivalent to the Earth's oceans.

Li Yang was stunned by her own imagination.

If it really accounts for such a large proportion, then this Blue Crystal Realm Domain... is absolutely perfect for planting!

Chapter 104

Li Yang jumped off the aircraft.

Fearing for her safety, Lan Yu quickly stopped the aircraft and followed her down.

However, he quickly realized that he was overthinking things.

The person in front of me is Nature Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer; there's no danger he'll face.

However, Li Yang's next move still made Lan Yu gasp. "Venerable One!"

Li Yang actually reached out and touched the quicksand in the no-man's-land.

For the Blue Crystal Clan, the quicksand in this no-man's-land is extremely dangerous, especially for young people like Lan Yu. It's hard to imagine anyone daring to directly touch this highly corrosive quicksand.

Li Yang was not corroded; the pale blue sand slid gently down her palm like silk.

Li Yang's palms remained fair and showed no signs of corrosion.

Lan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, Heavenly Fortune Bearer this Nature Department even more.

She's amazing! She even managed to subdue such terrifying quicksand!

Li Yang didn't reach out to touch it rashly; she had already used her mental power to probe it and sensed that the quicksand would not harm her.

Li Yang asked the system, "Is all of this Blue Crystal Soil?"

System reply: [Would you like to consume one year of your lifespan for evaluation?]

Li Yang: "..."

You think a mere year is enough?

You're truly something else, you daring, deadly sister.

Li Yang consumed a year of his lifespan and obtained the results through the system panel.

This is indeed Blue Crystal Soil, and it comes in different qualities.

For example, this small bunch she collected is of one-star quality.

Those with a darker color are two stars, and those with an even darker color are three stars.

Currently, no darker Blue Crystal Soil has been found in Li Yang.
