Chapter 127

The Goblin worked as fast as they could and finally produced a batch of Demonic Core fertilizer before the end of early autumn.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei personally inspected the batch of Demonic Core fertilizer.

The Demonic Core fertilizer was fluffy and delicate. Xie Juanhan gently squeezed a ball of it, clenched it, and when he released his hand, the fertilizer became loose again.

This kind of fertilizer will definitely be absorbed very smoothly by magical plants.

Xie Juanhan exclaimed, "Your skills are getting better and better!"

The Goblin puffed out their chests and squeaked, indicating that the more opportunities they had to practice, the better the fertilizer they produced would become, and it would only get better in the future!

With the fertilizer in place, Xie Juanhan and his team plan to cultivate another batch of Star Berry seedlings.

Planting Star Berry is a bit late for this season, but as long as you cover Star Berry with a thick layer of dry grass and take good care of them to keep them warm in winter, they will still grow very well.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei put the fruit pits they had collected over this period into a large wooden basin to wash them.

They selected seeds while washing the plants.

The Star Berry has many seeds, so they need to select the most vigorous and highest quality ones before starting seedling cultivation.

They placed a large wooden basin under the corridor, poured the seeds into it, and then filled it with spring water.

Harper and the others, curious, came over and stirred it with their paws.

Xie Juanhan caught them and made them work together.

Choose the biggest and plumpest seeds; discard the ones that float.

Xie Juanhan showed Harper and the others the seeds in his palm.

They all crowded around, intently sniffing Xie Juanhan, damp palms.

After sniffing them, it was unclear whether they truly understood or were just pretending; one or two of them, with serious, furry faces, nodded earnestly.

Xie Juanhan and said, "Alright, go ahead and choose. We'll have a big meal today after you've chosen."

Harper and the others got even more serious. "Aww!"

In planting, seed selection is a particularly important matter.

From seed selection, seed selection, seedling cultivation, fertilization, transplanting, pruning, fruit selection... every step affects the harvest.

It was precisely because they took each step so seriously that Xie Juanhan's family's Star Berry became different from those in the wild.

Xie Juanhan was initially reluctant to go up the mountain to collect large quantities of Star Berry to make wine, as he felt that those Star Berry were food for animals.

They picked a small amount to taste, which is normal competition with the animals.

Picking them all would be a bit greedy.

Later, he didn't want to pick Star Berry from the mountain to make wine, mainly because the Star Berry from the mountain weren't as good as the Star Berry they grew.

The Star Berry on the mountain are only the size of a finger, but the Star Berry they grow with elemental fertilizers are even as big as a fist.

Even without elemental fertilizer, the Star Berry, though smaller in size, are still about the size of an apricot, and contain more Magic Power than the Star Berry on the mountain.

After several generations, the quality difference between the two Star Berry will likely become more pronounced.

Xie Juanhan and his team spent two days selecting seeds.

After selecting the seeds, seedling cultivation begins.

The Star Berry is very special; it doesn't rely on temperature or humidity to germinate, but mainly on external Magic Power.

It can even sprout in the mouths of magical creatures.

It grows incredibly fast because it's stimulated by Magic Power.

Although Xie Juanhan are magical beings in a broad sense, they all possess Magic Power, but they differ in their ability to cultivate Star Berry.

Among them, the Star Berry induced by Xie Juanhan grew the best, while Star Berry induced by Telingewei grew the worst.

Even the Star Berry that Harper and his ilk cultivated grew better than those cultivated by Telingewei.

In the seedling stage, Telingewei had no say whatsoever; the entire process had to be handled by Xie Juanhan.

After Xie Juanhan used his Dragon Power to encourage the Star Berry to sprout, he also cast Blessing Magic on them.

To help the Star Berry grow better, they even invited Pixie long-lost Pixie to cast their Blessing Magic.

After a busy period of time, their latest batch of Star Berry has finally grown.

Along both banks of the river, Xie Juanhan and his team reclaimed even more farmland.

The seedlings of the Star Berry grew along the river, covering a large area of land.

Besides Moli and Nibote, who would guard the Star Berry, the Goblin would also help.

The forest's many magical creatures, including Weaving Fairies, Demon Wolf, and Water Demon, all helped them keep an eye out.

Their Star Berry grew better and better, and their area increased.

Rumors spread throughout the forest that a Star Berry Farm had appeared in the Magic Forest.

Silver Dragon's Star Berry Farm.

In response, Xie Juanhan said, "If that's the case, shouldn't we build a magic castle?"

Telingewei immediately asked, "You want to build a magic castle?"

Xie Juanhan: "You want to build it? Why are you so enthusiastic?"

Telingewei: "If we're building a castle, we'll build a separate house for Harper and the others, so they can live separately."

Xie Juanhan: "It's clear you're very keen to separate."

Telingewei: "Their presence is too strong."

"Chirp?!" Before Telingewei could finish speaking, Harper and the others jumped from the fence into the yard, staring at Telingewei with their round eyes.

Telingewei looked at them and said, "What are you chirping about? Aren't you in the way?"

Harper and the others. "Chirp!"

Telingewei: "There's no point in arguing; I just find it an eyesore."

Seeing that Harper and the others were about to come up and scratch Telingewei, Xie Juanhan put his arm around Harper's furry chest and pulled the Companion Beast into his arms. "Hey, don't rush to fight. You all came back so excitedly, what happened?"

Harper and the others instantly remembered their task and chirped excitedly, "Chirp, chirp!"

Xie Juanhan listened for a while, then paused, "So, pumpkins have finally ripened in the field?"

Their Golden Vine Pumpkin have taken up most of the space for other pumpkins, leaving the ordinary pumpkin seedlings half-dead.

They then pulled up all the ordinary pumpkins.

In the field, the Golden Vine Pumpkin occupy several acres, standing out as the largest single pumpkin.

For a long time, it only grows leaves and does not flower.

Even after it finally bloomed, it was very slow to bear fruit.

Xie Juanhan even suspected that the Golden Vine Pumpkin might only ripen once every few years, with its flowering and fruiting processes occurring in completely different years.

After realizing that pumpkins take a long time to mature, he paid little attention to the Golden Vine Pumpkin.

Moli spends his days wandering around the fields, hoping the Golden Vine Pumpkin will ripen soon.

The Golden Vine Pumpkin is first a tender green, then slowly turns dark green, and doesn't turn yellow for a long time.

Harper and his friends came today to tell us that the Golden Vine Pumpkin were ripe.

Xie Juanhan still couldn't imagine it.

"Are you really familiar with it?" Xie Juanhan stood up. "Let's go take a look."

Habu ran to the front and led the way. "Chirp!"

Chapter 127 [VIP]

After several months of growth, the Golden Vine Pumpkin directly covers every inch of soil where its roots reach.

Xie Juanhan and his group stood in the pumpkin patch, as if they were standing in a green ocean.

As the wind blows, the green pumpkin vines undulate like rising waves.

Amidst this lush, vibrant green, a touch of golden yellow gradually emerges as the leaves sway.

It was a pumpkin.

A pumpkin that has just ripened.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei led the furry creatures, trudging cautiously towards the pumpkin.

This pumpkin was as big as a millstone, with a smooth skin and a golden color. If you got close, you could smell the pumpkin's aroma.

"It's really ripe." Xie Juanhan patted the pumpkin and then examined its stem.

The stem of this pumpkin has become woody and feels rough and hard to the touch.

He used a little force to break off the pumpkin stem.

With a "pop," a large pumpkin was plucked from its vine.

"Meow!" Nibote volunteered to run forward and carry the big pumpkin.

Xie Juanhan asked doubtfully, "Is that alright?"

Nibote turned his head to look behind him, shook his head, and gestured for Xie Juanhan to place the pumpkin between his wings. "Aww!"

Xie Juanhan placed the pumpkin on top, and it sat quite steadily.

However, the pumpkin will definitely fall off when Nibote runs.

Xie Juanhan patted Telingewei's arm, intending for him to take out a rope from his spatial armband and tie the pumpkin to Nibote's back.

"Chirp!" Haxi jumped onto Nibote's back, resting its two front paws on the pumpkin, looking as if it would hold it steady.

The other Companion Beast got excited and jumped up as well, their furry bodies crowding around the pumpkin.

Telingewei reached out and grabbed Haxi by the back of the neck, yanking him off. "What are you doing trying to hold him up? The pumpkin's rolling around will crush you into a pancake."

Seeing that Haxi had been punished, the other Companion Beast hurriedly jumped off Nibote's back.

Haxi was so angry that he bared his teeth at them and yelled at them for being disloyal.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei tied up the pumpkins and then checked the other pumpkins in the field.

The other pumpkins remained dark green, showing no signs of ripening.

These dark green pumpkins are quite large, and one or two of them look like little houses in a pumpkin patch.

Moli and the others were all surprised.

Xie Juanhan, however, thought it was normal.

Even ordinary pumpkins from his hometown can grow to one or two thousand kilograms if the right variety is chosen and there is enough fertilizer, water and growing space.

It's not surprising that the magic pumpkin is a bit larger.

"There are still 157 pumpkins left," Xie Juanhan reported back after counting them.

Telingewei counted the same number and nodded. "It's one hundred and fifty-seven."
