Chapter 127: The Preciousness of Storage Space
***
A trace of unwillingness arose in her heart, and she continued flipping through the pages.
“The above cultivation conditions can be further enhanced to significantly improve the cultivation speed of tree spirits…”
Lin Muyu’s eyes instantly lit up, and she hurriedly read on in detail.
The book recorded in detail that if one could ensure a sufficient supply of precious spirit soil, allow the saplings to receive sunlight all day long, maintain rich and continuous spiritual energy around them, and add sufficient blood irrigation, the cultivation period for tree spirits could be drastically shortened.
She quickly calculated in her mind following the method described in the book.
If she spared no expense to satisfy all optimal conditions, she could even compress the cultivation time to about 10 days!
Even with her current abilities, she couldn’t afford to act without considering the price.
But with Xiaotao’s space, the Sunlight Ring, the Seed of Spiritual Jade, and blood rich in wood spiritual energy… at most one month, she could cultivate an Awakening Spirit stage tree spirit!
What made her even more delighted was that the book also mentioned that tree spirits cultivated from different species of trees possessed different abilities.
Moreover, once tree spirits were successfully cultivated, they would no longer need blood irrigation in the future. They only needed sufficient sunlight and spiritual energy to improve their cultivation levels on their own.
If she could find various special nutrients rich in nutrition, the growth speed of tree spirits could be even faster.
Besides tree spirits, the book also recorded in detail the cultivation methods for flower spirits and grass spirits, with each type of plant spirit having different specialized uses.
Some flower spirits could release fragrances that enhanced cultivation effects.
Some grass spirits excelled at sensing spiritual energy fluctuations in the surroundings, providing early warning of danger.
If one wanted to cultivate plant spirits, it would require a large amount of money.
For most people, it would be a losing proposition.
But for Lin Muyu, it was extremely practical!
Lin Muyu closed the book, her heart filled with joy:
“So this book can only display its value in the hands of the right person. For most people, it’s indeed a useless waste.”
But she happened to be that right person.
Maybe in the future, she could even cultivate an army of plant spirits!
No one would think that improving strength should rely entirely on cultivation advancement.
In the cultivation world, the forces behind an individual and the resources they controlled were often equally important.
With the assistance of plant spirits, Lin Muyu clearly understood that the methods she could employ in the future would definitely be much richer than before.
More importantly, cultivating plant spirits was far less troublesome than taming spirit beasts.
She only needed to find a suitable place to plant them, and provide sufficient nutrients on schedule daily, which would be enough for them to grow on their own.
For Lin Muyu, this was almost no different from farming in the mortal world.
Coincidentally, Lin Muyu’s previous life happened to come from a country famous for farming.
Although she had only helped the elders in her family work in the fields when she was young, and went to study in towns when she got a bit older.
But that memory, as if carved into her bloodline, still made her particularly devoted to the land.
“What are you secretly excited about?”
Su Wanqing in the distance, though holding a book in her hands, hadn’t really focused her gaze on the pages.
From beginning to end, her attention had been quietly following Lin Muyu’s every move.
Seeing that Lin Muyu couldn’t hide the smile at the corner of her mouth, she finally couldn’t contain her curiosity and gently moved closer.
“Nothing much, I just suddenly want to do some farming.”
Lin Muyu was quite generous and directly waved the book in her hand toward Su Wanqing, signaling her to look for herself.
“Complete Guide to Plant Spirit Cultivation? What is this book for?”
Su Wanqing stared at the writing on the cover, her brows slightly furrowed.
It wasn’t that she was confused about the meaning of the title, but the appearance of this book was really too shabby.
The corners of the cover were curled and blackened, and the pages were stained with many spots, clearly having been abandoned for a long time.
In cultivation sects, any technique or secret manual that had some use and was read by people would be carefully maintained.
Even the most ordinary basic mental methods would be wiped clean.
Books as worn and shabby as this were mostly useless waste books that no one wanted to read.
Lin Muyu naturally saw the disdain in her eyes and said straightforwardly:
“It’s just for farming.”
“Farming? You know how to farm?”
Su Wanqing was stunned for a moment.
Although she had never farmed herself, she had learned about farming during her travels in the mortal world.
Those who farmed were generally sturdy men or capable women.
Although she believed in Lin Muyu, looking at the slender arms and delicate wrists of the girl before her.
Recalling Lin Muyu’s weak appearance before she began cultivation.
When they first met, Lin Muyu had even fainted directly in front of her due to anemia…
“? I know how to do everything, okay~_~”
Lin Muyu rolled her eyes at her speechlessly, didn’t explain further, and instead pushed a pile of things beside her toward Su Wanqing:
“You can have all these remaining things.”
In that pile of things, most were useless waste books, plus a pile of spirit stones.
Although the waste books had no cultivation value, they could be taken to supplement the stock in the miscellaneous book section of the Scripture Pavilion and exchanged for some points.
Although the point exchange rate was low, even mosquito meat was still meat, and accumulating small amounts would eventually add up.
However, those few adult books could probably only be sold to people who needed them.
Ever since becoming a girl, she had lost interest in such books.
After all, she no longer had her precious treasure, so what interest could she have?
As for the spirit stones, roughly counting, there were about a hundred mid-grade spirit stones, plus several high-grade spirit stones, which were quite valuable.
Since Lin Muyu had taken most of the useful books, she felt that these remaining things should rightfully go to Su Wanqing, who had contributed more this time.
“No need, you keep these. I have this storage ring, which is enough for me.”
Su Wanqing waved her hand and extended her hand to show Lin Muyu the storage ring in her palm.
At this moment, the storage ring was no longer wrapped in that layer of black mist from before. The ring’s surface faintly showed several fine frost patterns, emitting a light blue luster in the sunlight.
Storage pouches didn’t require soul imprints, so anyone could use them.
But storage rings were different, only Golden Core stage cultivators could imprint soul marks on them, so others couldn’t use them even if they got hold of one.
That’s why Su Wanqing had accepted this storage ring without hesitation.
After all, this was something only she could use.
“You can’t use this ring right now.”
Su Wanqing continued, a hint of deeper meaning showing in her eyes.
“But… you have your own storage space, don’t you?”
Storage space artifacts were not something Qi Refining stage disciples could access.
Even someone as noble as Princess Luo Chenxi could only carry that long spear when going out, without even an ordinary storage pouch.
But Su Wanqing had noticed long ago.
Lin Muyu had never taken out any storage pouch from beginning to end, yet could freely store and retrieve items, obviously having her own storage methods.
She guessed it was that spirit bead.
Although she wasn’t certain, she didn’t plan to ask.
Everyone had secrets they didn’t want to easily reveal.
As long as… Lin Muyu didn’t dislike her and was willing to continue spending time with her, that was enough.
“But… can this storage ring really be worth all these things?”
Lin Muyu was still somewhat hesitant, feeling that Su Wanqing was getting the short end of the deal.
Seeing this, Su Wanqing took out the ordinary storage pouch she had used before from her chest and waved it in front of her:
“Do you know how many spirit stones it takes to buy an ordinary storage pouch?”
“How many?” Lin Muyu asked curiously.
“One supreme-grade spirit stone.”
Lin Muyu instantly fell silent.
The spiritual energy contained in one supreme-grade spirit stone was roughly equivalent to 20 high-grade spirit stones, and the spiritual energy in supreme-grade spirit stones was purer and denser, making absorption more efficient during cultivation.
More importantly, supreme-grade spirit stones had extremely low production, and hardly any could be seen on the market.
The usual exchange rate could reach 1 to 50, and often even with high-grade spirit stones, one might not be able to exchange for supreme-grade spirit stones, they were completely priceless when available.
Only then did Lin Muyu realize the extent of Su Wanqing’s wealth.
However, even such a wealthy woman had been at the Golden Core stage for some time but still didn’t have her own storage ring.
This showed how precious storage rings were.
Moreover, storage rings not only had much larger storage space than storage pouches, but were also safer, took up no space, and offered better privacy.
Calculated this way, it was actually Su Wanqing who benefited.
Lin Muyu finally realized how precious Xiaotao was, this was worthy of a 5,000-year-old spiritual artifact’s status.
Perhaps in the entire world, only Xiaotao herself possessed such abilities as a spiritual artifact!
