Chapter 105

Li Yang said, "I'll harvest them."

She wanted to see how much her lifespan would increase by harvesting these Star Plant.

There shouldn't be any change, since she harvests lifespan based on the Star Plant's grade.

However, if Star Plant can accelerate their growth, it's equivalent to indirectly increasing the total lifespan she can harvest.

To Li Yang's disappointment --

[Lifespan +10 years.]

These ten years were truly a shock to Li Yang. What the hell? How could it only be ten years!

Oh, she has already been promoted to the Fourth Grade without even realizing it.

Harvesting the Third Grade- Star Plant in front of you will significantly reduce your lifespan.

Fortunately, harvesting was easy for Li Yang, and she finished harvesting all 20 Star Plant with ease.

Lifespan is secondary; what she cares about Star Core.

Everyone gathered around.

They had long been used to having Li Yang harvest the crops and hadn't even thought to help.

After the Star Plant were harvested, the Blue Crystal Soil on the ground turned a lighter color.

This time, Li Yang brought out a two-star Blue Crystal Soil, which had become a one-star Blue Crystal Soil after one planting.

"So it's still a consumable item after all..."

Fortunately, there is so much Blue Crystal Soil in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain that even if it is consumed quickly, it is not a big problem.

Li Yang brought mostly two-star and one-star Blue Crystal Soil this time.

Samsung's distribution is rather scattered, making it difficult for Li Yang to collect them in front of Lan Yu.

Only Li Yang noticed the changes in the Blue Crystal Soil; everyone else's attention was focused on the harvested Star Plant.

"This should be usable as an ingredient for alchemy, right?" Yu Hongyuan picked up a hard leaf and asked curiously.

Zhong Kun also picked up a slender root and said, "I think this can be used to forge weapons!"

The previous Third Grade Star Plant did not drop such materials, which seems to be thanks to the Blue Crystal Soil.

Li Yang said, "Put these away for now, and we'll have them appraised later."

Everyone stared intently at her, their minds filled with the question, "Where's the star Star Core? Do you have Star Core?"

Li Yang opened her hand, revealing three purple Star Core in her palm.

Everyone: "!!!"

Zhong Kun shouted, "It really exists! Wouldn't we be rich?!"

Although only three Star Core were produced from the 20 Star Plant,

However, this Star Plant can be planted in half a day, provided there is enough Blue Crystal Soil.

Moreover, this is a purple Star Core!

It's much more valuable than blue!

Li Yang spent her life appraising one, and the Star Skill she discovered surprised her greatly.

Star Skill Name: Scythe of Ice.

Star Skill Grade: Purple.

Star Skill Description: Releases a scythe-shaped ice blade upon use. The higher the Power of Starlight, the greater the damage and the larger the range.

Despite its simple description, it's actually a very good area-of-effect Star Skill.

What really piqued Li Yang's interest was whether a large range of Star Skill could help her harvest Star Plant quickly.

Chapter 105

Unbeknownst to everyone, Li Yang had already identified the detailed information about the Star Core.

Zhong Kun said, "Kazi, your time to test you has come. Hurry up and identify the Star Core!"

Wang Ruika was quite dramatic. "I can't do it!"

Identifying Star Core is one of the side jobs of the Spirit Department.

Everyone in Wang Ruika's family is an expert in appraisal, but although Wang Ruika's cultivation level has reached the Third Grade Realm, he has fallen behind in all the proper Spirit Department subjects.

Kazi is getting more and more skilled at farming, but he has no idea how to identify Star Core.

Li Yang turned to look at Wang Ruika and said, "Go and learn it. Come back and teach everyone. This will be one of the required courses for the Nature Department from now on."

Zhong Kun said, "Yes, if these Star Plant can all produce Star Core in the future, then we'll have to learn how to identify them ourselves! Selling Star Core is certainly profitable, but unlocking Star Skill is even more exciting!"

Wang Ruika stammered, "Um... this seems to be an exclusive from the Spirit Department..."

Zhong Kun glared at him. "Which department are you in?"

Wang Ruika: "Agronomy Department".

Zhong Kun: "That's it! As Agronomy Department major, you developed Star Core identification technique unique to the Agronomy Department... Kazi, a hundred years from now, you'll be a Master of our Agronomy Department!"

Li Yang couldn't help but glance at Zhong Kun.

Kunzi can do it.

He's transformed from that naive kid who was easily fooled into a master con artist.

Wang Ruika was truly fooled, especially by the vision of what would happen a hundred years from now, which made his eyes light up.

"Oh, right!" Wang Ruika began to daydream, "I'm the first person in our Agronomy Department to be able to identify Star Core, so I'm definitely Master of my field!"

Zhong Kun, on the other hand, was a little displeased. Unfortunately, no one in his family knew how to identify Star Core, and he really couldn't learn that skill. He could only say sourly, "Yes, Master Wang, hurry up and go home to learn!"

Master Wang said somewhat embarrassedly, "Alright, I'll get right away..."

Li Yang stopped him, saying, "No rush."

She had already put away the three purple Star Core. Although Li Yang couldn't wait to try out the harvesting effect of the Scythe of Ice,... important matters came first.

Li Yang looked at everyone and said seriously, "Although only three Star Core were produced from the twenty Star Plant, this Blue Crystal Soil is still a treasure trove."

She had already explained the situation of the Blue Crystal Realm Domain to everyone, and they vaguely understood what she was trying to say.

Blue Crystal Soil is abundant in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain, but the Blue Crystal Clan does not consider it an important resource and instead discards it like trash.

However, once the Blue Crystal Clan learns the purpose of the Blue Crystal Soil, they won't let Li Yang take it away so easily.

However, Li Yang did not want to transfer all the Blue Crystal Soil to the outer city of the East District.

This small plantation isn't particularly eye-catching right now.

If they were spread throughout the entire outer city of the eastern district, they would likely attract covetous eyes, and their lives would become anything but peaceful.

Li Yang said, "Don't spread the word that Star Core can be grown from Blue Crystal Soil."

Everyone understood the urgency of the situation and nodded in agreement.

Li Yang added, "We'll limit the scope to this small plantation, growing some Star Core for our own use first. As for how to develop the Star Core trade in the future, we'll have to plan for the long term."

After confirming the effects of the Blue Crystal Soil, Li Yang had countless plans in mind.

As she spoke, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation. Feng Yiqiao pondered, "This Blue Crystal Soil is not easy to defend..."

Lin Zhaoqin pondered for a moment and said, "I heard from my elders that these smaller Realm Domain are protected by corresponding Combat Department. Is the Blue Crystal Realm Domain under the Star Combat Division?"

"Senior Sister's mission was issued by the Star Combat Division, so it should belong to the Star Combat Division, right?" Zhong Kun joined the discussion.

Li Yang had already confirmed this news, and she shook her head, saying, "They won't be under the Star Combat Division, but rather under the protection of the Pill Division."

"Huh, how come it's in the Pill Division?" Yu Hongyuan knew even less about these things.

Lin Zhaoqin immediately understood. "It's because of the Blue Crystal Stone, isn't it?"

Blue Crystal Stone is an important material for alchemy, and one of the reasons why the Huaxia chose to protect the Blue Crystal Clan.

Although the Pill Division is not Combat Department, they are wealthy and powerful, with their own influence in the Heavenly Palace, making it easy for them to protect a small Realm Domain.

Moreover, the Pill Division has its own fighting style; it's just that they don't like to go to the battlefield unless absolutely necessary.

"It's actually in the Pill Division..." Zhong Kun looked at Li Yang, "Then why don't you contact Professor Li, Senior Sister?"

If the right to protect the Blue Crystal Realm Domain could be transferred to the Nature Department, then the Nature Department could directly negotiate with the Blue Crystal Realm Domain on how to operate the Blue Crystal Soil, without worrying about other departments interfering to inflate prices or even monopolize the Blue Crystal Soil.

This asylum right isn't free; it's extremely expensive.

The Pill Division protected the Blue Crystal Realm Domain, and in return, the Blue Crystal Realm Domain relinquished a significant portion of its Realm Domain and interests.

Wang Ruika also joined the discussion, whispering, "The problem is, our Nature Department is just too weak..."

The only Half-Step Supreme is currently in seclusion.

The highest level among the remaining cultivators is Li Yang, who is only at the Fourth Grade Realm.

What right do they have to protect a small Realm Domain?

Even if the Pill Division really agrees to transfer it to them, the current Nature Pavilion may not be able to hold on.

This is the embarrassment of not having enough strength.

Even if they discovered a gold mine, they wouldn't have the capacity to mine and protect it.

Li Yang pondered for a moment and said, "I trust Professor Li, but the composition of the Pill Division is very complex. It not only includes our Central Capital Pill Masters, but also Pill Masters from Star Slaying and other schools... Professor Li has been residing at the Zhongdu Military Academy for a long time, so I'm afraid he's too far away to oversee things."

Although she spoke cryptically, everyone understood.

Simply put, Professor Li is not influential enough in the Heavenly Palace Pill Division; she cannot make decisions on such matters.

Li Yang looked at Ying Qi and asked, "I remember the Shen Family's exclusive Star Skill is ice-based?"

Ying Qi knows the Shen Family very well. She grew up with Shen Shangchi, and Shen Shangchi tells her everything without hiding anything from her.

Ying Qi nodded and said, "Yes."

"Has the Shen Family been controlling the ice-type Star Core all along?"

"Right."

After confirming the news with Ying Qi, Li Yang naturally thought of Shen Binghua.

Although Shen Shangchi is indeed the Heavenly Chosen of the Shen Family in this generation, he is still young and doesn't have much say.

Shen Binghua is different; she is a Seventh Grade Peak Star Magic, only lacking an opportunity to advance to the Eighth Grade.

The more Li Yang knew, the more she understood Shen Binghua's situation.

She appears to be the dean of the Star Magic Department, but in reality, she is under house arrest at the Zhongdu Military Academy.

Logically speaking, a Seventh Grade Peak Star Magic Master like this should hold a high position in the Heavenly Palace.

They should at least have the rank of lieutenant general.

The more they thought about it, the more worried they became. Lin Zhaoqin said unwillingly, "Damn it! Such a huge treasure mine, and we can't even take it!"

Li Yang said, "No rush. The Blue Crystal Soil won't grow legs and run away by itself. Besides, we don't have enough manpower right now, and we can't plant that much. Let's just be self-sufficient for now."
