Chapter 33: So this is how [Daily Accumulation of Wealth] awakened?!
People like Zhang San and Li Si, who had absorbed spiritual energy and could sense its presence, all turned their attention to the center of the spiritual energy vortex, which was the inner perimeter of the market, the Yidan Garden purchasing store.
Water seeped from the metal door frame of the store, and the shop assistant at the counter inexplicably touched his fingers until they were wet. The moisture evaporated in the air, creating a hazy, misty atmosphere.
The two potted green trees decorating the store entrance sprouted branches and leaves, gradually growing larger and larger. Customers couldn't help but stop and marvel at them, while the store staff busied themselves with their work.
A faint mist drifted down from upstairs, instantly smoothing out the strange phenomena as if washing away dust. The green trees swayed slightly, ceasing their growth, and water droplets dripped from the tips of their emerald leaves.
The cumulus clouds in the sky drifted away like rootless duckweed.
All that remained was a great uproar.
"Hoo~" Zhao Nan slowly took a breath, slowly withdrew her slender index finger that had been pointing in the air, and her right cheek, which had been stuffing the last piece of cucumber into her mouth, began to bulge again. Her tone was gentle, "Good luck, the awakening went smoothly."
"Thank you for comforting me, shop owner..."
Thump, thump, Jiang Qiu's heartbeat gradually calmed down. Suddenly, she turned around and found herself covered in sweat, her muscles tense all over. Her already thin forearms were shrunk as if carved by a knife and axe, with her muscle fibers twisted together like steel bars.
The internal organs seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and the blood vessels they pulled out seemed to be twisted into a spiral cage in the dantian, somewhat similar to the [Golden Spirit Cage]. It was not a physical object, but rather something that seemed to exist yet not quite.
All the spiritual energy in my body was quietly absorbed into it.
It was as if they could merge with a single thought.
It eliminates the five internal organs from bearing the spiritual energy of their respective parts.
Jiang Qiu took a deep breath, adjusting her breathing rhythm, when suddenly an exclamation rang in her ears, "Awakening caused an anomaly in the surrounding spiritual energy...is it...is it a rare physique?"
"Ugh!" Jiang Qiao covered her mouth and took a half step back, her eyes wide with shock. "How is this possible? It's one thing to have an ordinary physique, but how can someone easily awaken a rare physique after birth? Am I mistaken?"
"No... I didn't mistake you," Yao Yao stared blankly at Jiang Qiu, stunned and lost in thought. "Ordinary physiques only correspond to one type of spiritual energy. Wood-type physiques are compatible with wood-type spiritual energy during cultivation, and the same applies to metal-type physiques. They rarely manifest externally. Only rare physiques can influence the five elements of spiritual energy from the inside out."
She swallowed hard. "Moreover, Jiang Qiu just awakened a rare physique called [Daily Accumulation of Gold], which means 'accumulating over time' and 'golden gathering' means gathering and refining metal. Its characteristic is to gather a large amount of spiritual energy for refinement and improvement, making it especially suitable for the cultivation path of spirit plant masters."
"So this is how [Daily Accumulation of Wealth] was awakened?!"
Jiang Qiao felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her lips went numb.
Such a rare physique is extremely rare, and there are only a handful of people with it in the county.
There are very few in Jiuzhi Garden.
The path of spiritual practice is destined to progress by leaps and bounds.
This all stemmed from a single [Awakening Pill].
Does that mean I also have a chance to awaken a rare physique?
This thought took root in Jiang Qiao's heart, and a surge of fervent longing welled up inside her, sweeping away all her dissatisfaction. Her heart pounded as if it were being gripped by her own fist, and she bit her lip, her cheeks flushing red.
"Jiang Qiu, how much does it cost you to cultivate the [Golden Spirit Cage]? I can really ask Daddy to cover it for you. Could you cultivate a few more high-grade ones within a month? I also want to awaken my physique!"
"Oh dear, how embarrassing!"
I don't want to talk to someone like him like that.
"Forget it, I'll ask my father for help!"
Jiang Qiao scratched her head anxiously, glared at Jiang Qiu angrily, muttered to herself, and said to Zhao Nan, "Sister Zhao Nan, I'm going back to my dad to reserve the [Awakening Pill] for you," before running downstairs.
Being glared at for no reason didn't bother Jiang Qiu; his attention was completely focused on his physique panel, his eyes gleaming.
【Daily Accumulation of Wealth (Rare)】
[Effect: The spiritual energy within the body is concentrated into a cage, allowing for the storage of large quantities of spiritual energy. It can also be refined to enrich the properties of spiritual energy. When combined with cultivation methods, it can refine unique spiritual energy beyond the five elements for use in nurturing and combat.]
Although I only have a superficial understanding of spiritual practice.
The idea about physical constitution is just hearsay.
I'm not quite sure what's so special about this effect.
But as long as something is rare, its future is bright.
Jiang Qiu felt a surge of joy; this investment of resources in cultivating the [Awakening Pill] had been incredibly rewarding.
Based on this effect, the [Awakening Pill] deserves a million-dollar value, and a 10% share is not a small amount. It would be best to expand the planting further to build up our resources so that we can have the spare energy to cultivate after the assessment.
We purchased a batch of potting soil in the last two days.
Let's see if we can get a rare bonus.
It would be best to find a buyer.
"Recycle" ordinary potting soil.
Thinking of this, he told Zhao Nan about his idea of expanding the planting area and that he would provide more high-quality [Golden Spirit Cage] in the next cycle. After some discussion, he received the 4 yuan deposit from Yao Yao and then took his leave.
After Jiang Qiu left.
"Senior sister, did you take the wrong pill? How could a rare level 2 pill awaken a rare physique?" Yao Yao was still in a daze. She watched Jiang Qiu's back as she left the shop downstairs, incredulous. "But even a high-level pill doesn't have a very high probability of awakening a rare physique... um...?"
A tender white cucumber was stuffed into her small mouth.
Fresh, sweet juice overflows between the pearly teeth.
"Crunch~" Zhao Nan also took a bite of the cucumber in his hand, watching Jiang Qiu walk away. "Everyone has their own destiny, and not everything needs to be worried about. At least Jiang Qiu proved that the probability of awakening a rare physique with the [Awakening Pill] is not zero, right?"
"Mmm~" Yao Yao muttered like a hamster chewing on a cucumber, "But this is too lucky. Awakening a rare physique after eating just one level 2 pill is one in ten thousand... Mmm~"
"Kam~ Aren't you also a rare type of person?"
"It's different. I transformed from an ordinary physique. My master gave me the opportunity to gain experience on the front lines. I just managed to exchange enough resources in the Eternal Night, and I almost failed. Hmm~ It's not as easy as his."
"Kam~ Everyone's path is different," Zhao Nan said, pulling down the window. Her pink cheeks were still puffed out, and her eyes were clear and calm. "Don't overthink it. The news that the [Awakening Pill] has been successfully refined and can awaken a rare physique will spread soon. Go and reserve the level 2 rare main ingredient."
"Ah... nibbling nibbling, uh-huh!"
......
When Jiang Qiu walked out of the store, the street was buzzing with discussion. Passersby were pointing and gesturing with their heads held high, as if they had just witnessed a sudden meteor shower.
He ignored them and walked straight through the crowd. He hadn't gone far when he encountered Zhang San and Li Si again, both looking surprised.
"Holy crap, what kind of strange treasure just appeared, or did some powerful being use magic to pull out all the spiritual energy I had painstakingly accumulated? It almost went back to nature. Phew, thankfully I was able to pull it back."
"Hey, maybe it's some kind of anomaly caused by the shop owner refining pills. I've heard that high-grade pills can also produce this kind of anomaly. And that shop owner is not only young and good-looking, but also a genius who returned from university... Wait, Brother Jiang is out too. He's in the building; maybe he knows something!"
"Brother Jiang, did the new batch of produce sell well?" Zhang San and Li Si approached with smiles, looking like they were watching a spectacle unfold. They spoke softly, "What happened at the shop just now? Why was there such a commotion?"
"It went quite smoothly," Jiang Qiu smiled politely. "However, I was testing the pills at the time and didn't notice what was happening outside. By the way, I'm preparing to make another batch of nutrient soil. Do you still want to buy any?"
"Ah, what a pity. I'm sorry, Brother Jiang, this potting soil isn't cheap either. We don't have any extra funds on hand, so we plan to buy it after we finish selling the fruit."
"Okay, let's talk another day then. Bye."
Goodbye, Brother Jiang!
He nodded in acknowledgment and strode away from the crowd, while Zhang San and Li Si behind him were still discussing the strange phenomenon they had never seen before, talking about it with great interest.
