Li Yang told them this so that they could be on guard in advance and avoid falling into the enemy's trap.

Everyone nodded repeatedly and took notes carefully.

Li Yang added, "Of course, there's no need to be afraid. These Bone Peach Clan sound rather delicious; maybe we'll have a chance to 'tame' them..."

Zhong Kun shouted, "I love peaches the most!"

Everyone who was initially worried burst out laughing.

Ah, fresh, juicy, and sweet peaches...

Who could not love it!

After finishing discussing the Bone Peach Clan, Li Yang called out to everyone, "Come to the outer city; I have something to show you."

She was already in the house outside the city, and had also called the Little Ox family over.

They had to conduct the test on the Blue Crystal Soil themselves.

What kind of plants will be cultivated remains to be seen.

The advantage is that Li Yang now has a large number of seeds of Third Grade Star Plant; the Agronomy Department also has breeding formulas for mutated wheat and mutated leeks.

Li Yang plans to plant both types in the Blue Crystal Soil to see what changes will occur.

Everyone was originally cultivating at the Nature Pavilion, but now they have all rushed to the outer city.

Zhong Kun was the first to arrive. When it came to cultivation, he was always as lazy as possible; but when it came to fun things, he would run as fast as he could.

Yu Hongyuan arrived quickly as well, following his senior sister's orders. He was to arrive at lightning speed—this was the standard Taro Ball set for himself.

The others arrived one after another. Once everyone was there, Li Yang lowered his voice and said, "I went to a small Realm Domain on this trip and unexpectedly discovered a type of soil suitable for planting."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Department of the Agronomy Department's eyes lit up.

They are now passionate about planting.

It's a pity that there's no Divine Soil in the Heavenly Palace, otherwise they would have already rolled up their sleeves and gotten to work.

The Nature Pavilion can indeed enhance everyone's cultivation.

Meditation can be a bit boring, but farming is really fun.

Moreover, farming not only accelerates cultivation but also yields fruits that can be sold for profit...

Killing multiple birds with one stone, isn't that wonderful?

Lin Zhaoqin asked excitedly, "Is it Divine Soil?"

"How could it be Divine Soil!" Zhong Kun exclaimed. "That's a secret treasure painstakingly crafted by our predecessors in the Nature Department. How could it possibly appear in a small Realm Domain?"

Li Yang opened the Qiankun Bag and took out a portion of the Blue Crystal Soil.

She introduced herself to everyone, saying, "I found some relevant information in the research institute before, which described a type of blue crystalline soil..."

Fortunately, Li Yaowan had acquired the former research institute of the Agronomy Department, and Li Yang was qualified to go in and take a look. So, he "passed the buck" to the research institute for the source of the information.

Upon hearing that the Star Plant grown on the Blue Crystal Soil would produce Star Core, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

Zhong Kun couldn't contain himself and said, "Let's try it! Let's try it right away!"

Li Yang nodded and began assigning tasks. "I'm not sure about the proportion of Blue Crystal Soil to use yet, so let's start by trying planting with only Blue Crystal Soil."

"This part is used to grow Star Plant, which is managed by Little Ox's family; another part is used to grow mutated wheat, which is managed by the senior students; and another part is used to grow mutated chives..."

She assigned the tasks one by one, and everyone nodded enthusiastically, eager to start planting as soon as possible.

Li Yang had several possible combinations in mind, but she could only try them one by one.

For example, what are the effects of planting only with Blue Crystal Soil?

What are the effects of mixing Blue Crystal Soil with ordinary soil for planting?

What are the effects of planting in different proportions?

And will the Agronomy Department's use of Blue Crystal Soil to grow crops have an effect on improving cultivation levels?

Li Yang had already taken out her notebook, ready to record the test data in categories.

After assigning the tasks, Li Yang said to Lianxin, "Lianlian, pour out all the Blue Crystal Soil."

She didn't communicate through the Spirit Sea, but spoke directly.

Everyone turned to look at the small doll on her shoulder.

Li Yang explained, "Thanks to Lianxin, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to bring back so much Blue Crystal Soil."

[Lifespan +100 years.]

[Lifespan +100 years.]

Lianxin was clearly very happy.

Especially after everyone praised the power of the Lianxin, Li Yang gained several hundred years of lifespan.

So cute!

Everyone is so cute!

Li Yang couldn't suppress the smile playing on her lips.

After all the Blue Crystal Soil was poured out, the Agronomy Department students couldn't help but praise the Lianxin again.

Yu Hongyuan exclaimed, "My God, even the finest Qiankun Bag can't hold this much stuff!"

[Lifespan +100 years.]

Li Yang explained, "Lianlian is only good at carrying soil-related things; he can't carry anything else."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the observant Fang Chuyun then asked, "Does the Lianxin need Blue Crystal Soil?"

[Lifespan +100 years.]

Li Yang said, "I asked him, and he doesn't like the smell of Blue Crystal Soil."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile, and their gazes towards Lianxin became even more friendly.

[Lifespan +100 years.]

Luckily, Lianxin habitually played dead, otherwise he would be buried in his flower-covered clothes right now.

After spreading the Blue Crystal Soil throughout the entire plantation, everyone began planting.

Li Yang did not participate in the planting.

The reasons are readily available.

She's not representative; she'll just be responsible for harvesting after everyone else has finished planting.

Li Yang said she wasn't representative because she had too little talent, but everyone understood it to be because she had too much talent.

Although it was a misunderstanding, the result was the same.

The Plow Ox Clan can cultivate themselves through planting, even by planting untamed Star Plant.

However, their progress in cultivation is extremely slow, far slower than that of the Huaxia.

Moreover, they have only this one method of cultivation, unlike the Huaxia who can cultivate by meditating in places with abundant Starlight.

Li Yang observed the situation of the Little Ox family and found that their Physique Points increased faster when they were planted in Blue Crystal Soil.

Looking at Lin Zhaoqin and the others, their Star Aperture were indeed shining brightly, having received effective nourishment.

Blue Crystal Soil is far less effective than Divine Soil, but it is much better than ordinary soil.

The key issue is that Divine Soil is extremely rare, with only a small plot available in the Agronomy Department, and its maintenance costs are extremely high.

The Blue Crystal Soil stretched as far as the eye could see, covering two-thirds of the Blue Crystal Realm Domain.

Therefore, Blue Crystal Soil offers better value for money.

Thanks to everyone's hard work, the planting was completed quickly.

The most obvious effect is the water-locking effect of Blue Crystal Soil; some soils that do not require much water may not even need to be watered anymore.

And for some plants that require more water... Feng Yiqiao can simply use his magical watering can to water them.

Feng Yiqiao chuckled and said, "That saves a lot of trouble!"

However, everyone soon noticed something was wrong.

Xia Putao exclaimed, "My wheat!"

Zhong Kun also shouted, "My chives!"

Li Yang had already checked with his mental power; the mutated chives and wheat seemed to be frozen, having stopped growing.

These mutated crops originally grew very quickly, especially the mutated chives, which would sprout almost immediately after being planted and could be harvested in a couple of days.

Although wheat takes a little longer to ripen, it only takes about five or six days.

They were clearly not adapted to the ice-like properties of the Blue Crystal Soil, and they all stopped growing.

Li Yang said, "It seems that not everything can be grown."

Zhong Kun asked anxiously, "The seeds aren't spoiled yet, should we dig them up?"

Li Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let's observe further."

"But they've all stopped growing..."

"Perhaps it's just growing too slowly." Li Yang remained calm. Even if it meant sacrificing the seeds of this batch of mutated wheat and mutated chives, it would be worth it if the experiment yielded results.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Kun calmly replied, "Alright..."

In the past, he would never have imagined that he would be so anxious about a batch of wheat seeds.

However, now... it's not a matter of money, but rather the precious treasure he himself nurtured.

On the other side, the Little Ox family encountered a similar problem.

Some of the Star Plant have stopped growing.

Li Yang looked closely and roughly understood. "Could it be... that the Blue Crystal Soil is only suitable for planting ice-type Star Plant?"

Li Yang had never thought of classifying seeds by their attributes.

Crops do not have these classifications.

However, Star Plant do indeed have different attributes.

Li Yang analyzed each point with her mental power, which was somewhat laborious and slow.

She called out, "Kazi, A-Qin, Chuyun... come with me to sense it."

They all possess relatively high mental strength, and once they learn the method, they can also distinguish the attributes of the seeds.

The group quickly identified the ice-type seed.

Li Yang gave the seeds to the Little Ox's family so they could replant them.

Before long, everyone was surprised to find that the ice-type Star Plant were growing rapidly under the stimulation of the Blue Crystal Soil.

Star Plant naturally grow quickly, maturing in about a day.

Now, under the Blue Crystal Soil, these Star Plant are growing even faster, and are estimated to mature in less than half a day.

Everyone was very much looking forward to seeing if Star Core would actually form.

Star Core are really difficult to deal with!

Currently, the only safe way to collect them is through the Tree Tower in the Department of the Agronomy Department.

If the Star Plant cultivated in this Blue Crystal Soil can really produce ice-type Star Core... then it could even revolutionize the entire Star Core market!

No one left; everyone watched with great anticipation.

Their expressions truly resembled those of old farmers waiting for a bountiful harvest.

Finally, this batch of ice-type Star Plant has matured!
