Chapter 69: The Second Superior Recipe Route for the [Golden Spirit Cage]
The mother plant has been successfully transplanted.
[The mother plant is retained as a superior quality plant, and its growth cycle is reset, making it a fourth-generation spiritual plant. It receives additional bonuses in rare level 1 nutrient soil, continues the optimization direction of the superior quality recipe, and can produce superior quality plants with dual characteristics in a targeted manner.]
[Target Yield: 30 high-quality fruits with dual attributes]
[Estimated spiritual energy consumption: 310 strands of level 1 wood-attribute spiritual energy (for growth), 1500 strands of level 1 fire-attribute spiritual energy (for the crown)]
[Estimated ripening time: 30 days]
Repeating the third-generation cultivation plan, Jiang Qiu transplanted the fourth-generation mother plant into the pot. Since the [Wood Edge Flower] is essentially a very easy-to-grow ordinary level 1 spiritual plant, it does not require supplementing with spiritual fertilizer, and spiritual energy is the biggest cost.
So, in the end, only the rare nutrient soil in the pot is valuable; the subsequent maintenance costs are not high, only a few hundred yuan.
Then, led by Jiang Qiao, he entered the inner courtyard and placed it back into the Blessing Basin.
[Insert Level 1 Wood-type Spiritual Plant "Wood Edge Flower"]
[It is connected to the roots and rhizomes of the "Spiritual Embryo Ancestral Tree"]
[We will absorb the overflowing "blessings" from the other party over a long period of time.]
[Choose the direction of the bonus from "Blessing":]
The mutation rate increases by 1% daily (cumulatively reaching 100%).
Repeating the cultivation process of the previous generation, there is nothing to worry about with the mother plant of the [Wood Edge Flower]. Just like the 200 diseased spiritual plants that were just replaced in the flower stand area, we can produce them with peace of mind.
After all that back and forth, the total cost of setting up this generation of spiritual plants, including the diseased spiritual seeds and the necessary spiritual fertilizer for the [Golden Spirit Cage] and [Golden Spirit Arrow], was less than 10 yuan, leaving a balance of over 70 yuan.
The framework for cultivation is gradually taking shape. The diseased spiritual plant produces spiritual energy, a pot of [Golden Spirit Cage] produces economic benefits, and the mother plant of the Wood Edge Flower is the main trunk of cultivation. Next, it is time to install the [Golden Spirit Cage] and the [Golden Spirit Arrow].
One of the pots, the [Golden Spirit Cage], matured yesterday. However, Jiang Qiaoshui's spiritual energy was exhausted, so she didn't continue to help it produce. It's still in a state of waiting for results. Fortunately, the spiritual energy is abundant, so she can help it grow on its own.
Let's see what characteristics emerge.
This will provide ideas and references for future hybridization.
Back at her residence, Jiang Qiu went to the second-floor cultivation room. With a click, the fluorescent light turned on. In the corner of the room, bags of rare nutrient soil were piled up like a mountain, surrounding the [Golden Spirit Cage] in the center, like a flood dam.
He currently has over 1000 strands of level 1 fire elemental energy and over 3000 strands of level 1 wood elemental energy remaining, enough to complete one round of cultivation. His eyes are clear.
Whoosh! A wisp of red spiritual energy burst forth!
[Following the mid-grade recipe approach, a path to a superior-grade fruit will appear during cultivation, which can consume 100 strands of level 1 fire elemental energy to further "upgrade" to a level 1 metal spirit plant, "Golden Spirit Cage".]
[Consumes 100 strands of level 1 fire elemental energy]
【Top Tier 1 Metal Spirit Plant "Golden Spirit Cage"】
[Imminent Transformation, Choosing an Optimization Direction:]
1. Refining effect doubled
2. Doubles the digestive effect
3. Doubled breeding results
It's a bit of a shame that the pre-selected rare optimization option didn't appear this time, but with a 33% probability of appearance, there's no rush. We can wait until the pre-selected rare option appears before choosing the three options that might be beneficial for hybridization.
As for option one, with the excellent [Obvious Material (Rare)] already available, there's no need to add anything unnecessary. Option two is better; let's see what edible effects it produces and digest it directly, so it won't be a waste.
Jiang Qiuxin remained calm and chose option two, letting things take their natural course.
Boom! One of the mid-grade fruits, after being tempered by open flame, shed its carbonized outer shell, revealing a brass luster. Inside the cage-like shell, the fruit core, resembling amber, was embedded in the flower calyx, with light shining through the gaps.
[Cultivated a superior-grade Golden Spirit Cage Fruit]
【Characteristic 1: Metallic Foods】
[Effect: Can be consumed by creatures with an affinity for metal spirit energy. After digestion, it reduces the "Golden Spirit Cage's" aggression towards them. Insects receive additional benefits.]
[This cultivation path has been added, upgrading the original intermediate-grade recipe to a superior-grade recipe. It can consume the corresponding resources to stably cultivate superior-grade fruits with the "metal food" trait, and can still be further cultivated and optimized.]
(Note: This is the second superior recipe route, which is supplemented from the incomplete mid-grade recipe. The production is limited to three pieces.)
It has extra benefits against insects? Then I can give Director Jiang my rare [Powder-Gathering Fairy] to eat; its characteristics seem to be...
Jiang Qiu's eyes lit up, and she took out an insect bag from her pocket.
And its cultivation notes—
【Powder-Gathering Fairy (Rare): During cultivation, it feeds on specific spiritual fruits, which increases its affinity with the corresponding zodiac animal, preventing rejection and attack during hybridization, thereby increasing the pollination success rate】
The characteristics of the two complement each other.
It will generate a strong attraction.
really......
The room was filled with the rich aroma of fruit. The insect sac began to struggle, like a hungry child smelling the aroma of rice. Jiang Qiu untied the knot, and whoosh, a cloud of white mist surged out and drifted toward the premium fruit.
The fruit surface was covered with a layer of "white frost," and a subtle chewing sound came from it. However, just like biting a piece of iron, it sounded noisy, but in reality, a little saliva was secreted, and the outer shell was not damaged at all.
Until a [Powder-Gathering Fairy] slipped through the spiral-shaped gap and flew like a moth to a flame to the vicinity of the yellow fruit core, a new panel popped up. Jiang Qiu's eyelids twitched almost imperceptibly, and she squinted slightly—
Current instability: 1%
Current instability: 3%
Current instability: 9%
【...】
The "Powder-Gathering Fairy" that has bitten the core of the fruit gradually changes from white to yellow, while the bitten core deepens from yellow to red. The dangerous light is dazzling, like a time bomb that has entered its countdown.
The fruit is easily digestible, but that doesn't mean you can eat it whenever you want. Not to mention whether she can withstand the backlash from the Golden Spirit Cage, the Powder Fairy has zero combat power and could very well be melted into ashes in an instant.
They'll be wiped out in the next second!
However, Jiang Qiu had already read the cultivation notes. When the [Powder-Gathering Fairy] was rejected while eating spiritual fruits, she could consume water-attribute spiritual energy to [Store Essence], thereby reducing the other party's instability and assisting in eating.
First, transform the water elemental energy.
Whoosh, the "Golden Spirit Cage" in his dantian generated a suction force.
【Converge】Level 1 Wood Elemental Aura
[Transformation of Wood-related spiritual energy into Water-related spiritual energy]
[Choose an optimization direction:]
[1. The Five Elements cycle: The spiritual energy of the Five Elements is transformed once according to the celestial cycle, taking a whole day, with a transformation efficiency of 100%.]
[2. Progressive conversion: Selected spiritual energy is converted to the next type of spiritual energy according to the order of the Heavenly Cycle. No time consumption, conversion efficiency 50%]
[3. Reverse Conversion: Selected spiritual energy is converted to the next higher type of spiritual energy according to the reverse cycle. No time consumption, conversion efficiency 20%]
Option one cannot wait. In addition, following the cycle of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, if we choose option two, like when we converted Jiang Qiao's metal spiritual energy last time, the conversion efficiency will only be 6.25% after one cycle. It is better to choose option three.
With this in mind, Jiang Qiu selected three!
