Chapter 39: Looks like he's made it big, moving to a nice place to live...
Two mid-grade [Golden Spirit Cage] fruits, one of which is planted again in the previously used rare nutrient soil, the effect is—
"When a Level 1 Rare Spirit Seed produces a superior fruit, there is a 33% chance of generating a specified rare optimization option, limited to once per plant."
Different cultivation paths can be tried to optimize the production of superior formulas, so as to prevent a spiritual plant master from developing a similar formula one day, taking away their supply share, or even replacing them.
The other seed was planted in the rare nutrient soil that was applied today, and the effect was—
"The yield of Level 1 rare spirit seed can reach the limit of the mother plant."
Most rare spiritual plants have very low yields, only a handful, but they are very valuable. If a single plant can produce more than double digits of yield, one plant is equivalent to three or four plants, and the cost will be visibly reduced.
This is also a potted plant specifically used to cultivate the [Golden Spirit Cage] to supply Zhao Nan. It is designed to be highly productive and can be regarded as a prototype of a "money tree".
Distribute the two medium-grade fruits.
Jiang Qiu then fell asleep peacefully.
One night passed.
Knock, knock, knock! The knocking woke him up.
Click. The door opened, and the narrow alley of the shantytown was shrouded in white mist. The streetlights were still on, flickering like candlelight. A rough-looking man in work clothes grinned. "You must be Jiang Qiu, right? I'm Lao Liu, a transport driver from the logistics department. Here's my ID."
"Old Liu?" Jiang Qiu paused, examining the ID card handed to him. It was stamped with the red seal of the logistics department and looked very professional.
"Oh, it's like this. They instructed me to help you move your things. The logistics department's car is parked on the street outside."
Following his rough finger, a tall truck blocked the alleyway entrance, its red taillights glaringly bright. At this time, neighbors who were up early to rush to work would pass by and stare at it, marveling at its appearance.
Vehicles are expensive strategic resources, and almost only county-level government agencies or large organizations from other places can import them. They are usually used to transport goods within the county, which is indeed rare in shantytowns where people mainly rely on foot labor.
If Jiang Qiu wanted to ask the relevant departments to provide transportation for the move, not to mention whether vehicles could be dispatched, the transportation costs would not be small. Jiang Qiu originally planned to rent a tricycle and pedal all the way to Jiuzhi Garden, but she didn't expect the logistics department to be so considerate and even provide a special vehicle for the move...
"Could you please help me?"
"It's okay, this is what I do!"
With Lao Liu's help, the potted plants from the house were quickly loaded onto the truck, along with some household items. Then, with a snap, the truck door was slammed shut, and with a rumble, it sped away, its exhaust fumes billowing. The shantytown receded into the distance outside the window, while the neighbors who didn't know each other well stared in astonishment.
Who moved?
"It seems to be Xiao Jiang who works at the Jiuzhi Garden."
"Isn't he an intern? How could he afford a truck?"
"Looks like they've made it big, moving to a nice place now..."
Exclamations of admiration drifted in the wind outside the car. Jiang Qiu sat silently in the passenger seat. Midway, she asked Lao Liu to drive to the preparation workshop to pick up hundreds of rare nutrient soils with different effects before driving to No. 17 in the courtyard area.
Stepping out of the passenger seat, I was greeted by a two-story courtyard gate with walls extending along both sides. Tile houses of varying heights were nestled within, and lush tree canopies provided shelter in the depths.
This will be where we live from now on.
"Hey, why are you so late?" A pretty voice interrupted his thoughts and pulled him back to his senses. He was shocked to see Jiang Qiao leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, a sullen smile on her face, as if she was reluctant to give him a kind look.
"Going to the logistics department to get the nutrient soil took some time."
Jiang Qiu didn't seem to mind, casually glancing around. "You waited here specifically for me?"
"Heh, who came all this way to wait for you?" Jiang Qiao turned her face away. "Right now, only you can cultivate a qualified [Golden Spirit Cage]. Didn't you promise my father yesterday when you were transferred to the logistics department that you would cultivate a batch as soon as possible? I'm here to urge you on. Hurry up and bring your [Golden Spirit Cage] bonsai and come with me."
"Okay, but I haven't moved my things down yet..."
"Old Liu, help him settle in."
"Yes, Miss."
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Qiao instructed Lao Liu to pack the household items into the new room, and move the potted plants to the empty flower stand area in the outer courtyard. Jiang Qiu didn't need to do anything, so she just brought the two pots of [Golden Spirit Cage] and followed her.
"You only grow a few 'Wood Edge Flowers' and 'Firelight Flowers' at home, how can you afford to keep two pots of 'Golden Spirit Cage'?" Jiang Qiao glanced back at Old Liu, who was carrying potted plants, with her hands in her pockets.
Theoretically, there is still room to produce high-quality products.
However, it is very difficult to produce even one more.
After all, it will take three generations of [Wood Edge Flower] to be cultivated.
However, due to the limited space, only 30 jars were affected previously.
Now that we've moved into the courtyard, it's natural to expand the planting area.
Jiang Qiu calmly replied, "I plan to buy some new spirit seeds today to expand the planting. It will be enough in about a month."
"How much are you planning to expand?"
After arriving at the courtyard, he found that the planting scale was open and transparent and not a secret. He thought for a moment, "Director Jiang seems to have arranged 100 pots for me here. I plan to add 35 pots of various kinds to produce spiritual energy."
"With so few, how can you guarantee producing top-grade [Golden Spirit Cage] within a month?" Passing by several rows of empty flower trellises entwined with vines, Jiang Qiao waved her hand. "These are the new areas my father gave me to manage. I can give you 100 pots, but you have to guarantee producing [Golden Spirit Cage]!"
100 pots is no small number.
According to veteran employees, trainees only handled about 100 pots when they first started.
Moreover, the courtyard will nurture blessings every now and then.
Here, potted plants can shorten the growth cycle or increase yield.
There is even a greater probability that it will lead to mutation.
Every pot space is hard-won.
This is a highly competitive resource among interns.
I didn't expect her to be so generous.
Jiang Qiu glanced at Jiang Qiao's profile again, nodded, and said, "Okay, I guarantee I'll cultivate a batch of [Golden Spirit Cages] for Shopkeeper Zhao Nan before the assessment, so she can refine a few more batches of [Awakening Pills] for you."
"That's good." Jiang Qiao raised her chin.
They walked in silence through the neatly arranged houses and crisscrossing flower trellises in the outer courtyard, heading straight into the depths. Along the way, the vines climbing the flower trellises converged towards the center like a net being pulled in.
There stands a towering tree there.
The intertwined vines are all its whiskers and hair.
"Hey, do you see that tree? It's the central hub of the entire No. 17 courtyard. The reason why the potted plants in the outer courtyard are different from those in the greenhouse is because it regularly nurtures [Blessing]. The inner courtyard is different from the outer courtyard. It's the closest to its original form here, where [Blessing] is abundant and pots are scarce."
Looking through her chubby fingertips, through a thorny fence, lush trees stretched to the sky, casting huge shadows over the bare-rooted fields, where fireflies danced and flowers swayed.
Jiang Qiu unconsciously took a breath.
A refreshing feeling penetrated deep into my lungs.
Spiritual energy rises and falls like the tides, and the five elements interact and rotate.
Jiang Qiao spoke eloquently, "It's called the [Spirit Embryo Ancestral Tree], one of the very few high-level spiritual plants capable of nurturing [Initial Spirit Embryos]. Our garden has poured a lot of resources into it to produce three [Initial Spirit Embryo] fruits this year, which means three spots for key cultivation within the garden. You'll get one, I'll get one, and Wang Baisheng will get one. The earlier you choose, the more [blessings] you'll receive from the mother plant, giving you a faster start than others, but..."
She pouted. "I didn't bring you into the inner courtyard today to see this. Humph, although I'm not an apprentice yet, my father borrowed a blessed basin for me here, where I can enjoy a lot of the blessings overflowing from the [Spirit Embryo Ancestral Tree]. I originally used it to grow [Golden Spirit Cages], but now I can consider renting it to you, as long as you meet one small condition of mine."
