Chapter 40: You really have it?
The inner courtyard is a place that only trainees or above, or special employees, can access. Ordinary senior employees who care for potted plants cannot enter at all. Qian Cheng certainly cannot enter, and Wang Baisheng should not have had the authority to enter before he became a trainee.
However, the rumors surrounding this place have endured for a long time, even reaching the greenhouses. It is said that one of the blessed pots is worth a thousand gold pieces, and even accomplished plant masters are secretly vying for its share.
Because cultivation and nurturing spiritual plants are closely related, when the blessed spiritual plants are transformed into one's own cultivation progress, they bring many unexpected benefits. As a result, some geniuses can make rapid progress and rise to prominence.
Theoretically speaking, such limited resources would not fall into the hands of mediocre trainees, let alone interns, but Jiang Qiao got one.
Would you still be willing to rent it to yourself?
Jiang Qiu's heart pounded, as if a gold mine had been laid out before him, and the owner was asking if he wanted to rent it and mine it for a few months. However, he remained outwardly calm. "What are the small conditions?"
"Give me some of the potting soil you brought to grow the [Golden Spirit Cage]. I can rent it for a week." Jiang Qiao's gaze "casually" fell on the two potted plants Jiang Qiu was holding, her tone casual. "How about it?"
Jiang Qiu raised an eyebrow. "Mine is just Grade 1 potting soil, nothing special. The potting soil you're using must be the one Director Jiang improved, much more precious than mine. Why are you exchanging your Fuze potting space for mine?"
"Hmph, you say it's nothing special, but you managed to cultivate the [Golden Spirit Cage] with rare characteristics on your first try. This nutrient soil must be extraordinary," Jiang Qiao curled her lip, as if she knew everything. "I don't need your nutrient soil recipe, just give me a copy, or we'll trade?"
The optimized rare nutrient soil only has a supplementary formula, but no formulation formula. Each one is unique and cannot be replicated.
Take it to exchange, and it's gone.
Moreover, this rare characteristic has great potential and can be used to plant other level 1 rare spiritual plants in the future, so it will not be obsolete for a long time.
However, a direct refusal would also raise suspicions.
Jiang Qiu pondered for a moment, then shook her head. "The one in my pot is unique, a lucky improvement that's perfect for the [Golden Spirit Cage]. I won't change it. If you want to improve the nutrient soil, I have other types."
"Hmm?" Jiang Qiao examined the two pots of nutrient soil in his arms. The ingredients looked similar, but the textures were not the same, clearly indicating two different directions of improvement. She couldn't help but be skeptical. "How can you guarantee that the nutrient soil will always be successful in improving things, or that it will actually work and not just be a waste of resources?"
"Why don't you try and see?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiao choked up.
She didn't think Jiang Qiu was really capable of developing a superior formula with rare properties. What she saw the day before yesterday was just a result pieced together by various coincidences, and the nutrient soil in which it was based must be the main reason.
If I could get my hands on Jiang Qiu's nutrient soil, perhaps my father would discover the clues and continue to improve the superior formula.
When the time comes, I will be able to cultivate fruits that meet the standards and continue to supply them to Sister Zhao Nan, maintaining our cooperation, which will make my cultivation much easier.
However, it seems that the nutrient soil Jiang Qiu uses to cultivate the [Golden Spirit Cage] is not uniform. It seems that he tries this method after improving it and tries that method after improving it. It is hard to say whether the output can be guaranteed.
If we replace him with that pot of nutrient soil now, the other pot might not be able to produce results within a month, and the [Awakening Pill] will have to be delayed. He won't be able to awaken his physique, and his cultivation will be fixed afterward...
Thinking of this, Jiang Qiao snorted, "Fine, I won't ask you to use the nutrient soil to plant the [Golden Spirit Cage] anymore, but you have to exchange it for a portion of the same successfully improved nutrient soil. I'll go try planting another rare spirit plant."
One pot of rare nutrient soil can be exchanged for a week's worth of blessed potting soil.
They might have hesitated when they were still in the greenhouse.
However, rare nutrient soil has now overflowed.
Why not exchange one for resources for development?
Jiang Qiu nodded. "What attribute do you want to cultivate?"
"You really have it?" Jiang Qiao's eyes widened instantly, her gaze clear. She had only wanted to find a way to back down, since nutrient soil was difficult to improve. From a general perspective, it was more economically valuable than the superior formulas of most rare spiritual plants, something Jiang Qiu definitely couldn't produce.
That being the case.
If you don't have nutrient-rich soil, I won't change it.
But now, she couldn't help but frown. "I made a promise, the improved potting soil will definitely have a significant boost after I plant the seeds. Don't try to fool me with some ordinary level 1 potting soil, or I'll tell my dad that you deliberately tricked me into giving you a pot of blessed soil..."
"Yeah, I'm not kidding, what attribute?"
"Um... a level 1 rare earth-elemental spirit plant."
Jiang Qiu recalled that among the large amount of rare nutrient soil produced yesterday, there seemed to be a portion specifically for planting rare soil-type spiritual plants. She had originally thought that she wouldn't need it for the time being, but now it came in handy.
Fuze potting space is a limited resource; once you use one, another one is gone. Exchanging it for a refillable container of rare nutrient-rich soil is the perfect solution.
He smiled slightly. "I've considered improving the potting soil in this direction and I've developed a potting mix. It's in the car. Would you like to go get it now?"
"Is your improved potting soil really useful? What if you're just lying to me?" Jiang Qiao muttered twice. "Then you'd get a week's worth of Blessing Pot space for free. No way, you have to give me the [Golden Spirit Cage] as collateral!"
Jiang Qiu asked with great interest, "How does the mortgage work?"
"Don't you have two pots of [Golden Spirit Cage]? One can stay here and enjoy [Blessings] for a week. The other one can be placed in my room; come find me when you need to cultivate it. If you lie to me, I'll take one top-grade seed from the final product and supply it to Sister Zhao Nan in my name!"
After a pause, Jiang Qiao's eyes lit up. She brushed a stray hair from her chubby cheek and said, "Or you could transfer the formula to me, and I can help you cultivate it. I'll share the profits with you, and you can use the Fortune Basin forever."
"I won't hand over the formula. I've agreed to your first condition: both pots of [Golden Spirit Cage] are with you. I'm planning to use my first pot of [Wooden Edge Flower] to enjoy [Blessings]." Jiang Qiu's tone was calm and collected, her eyes bright and her gaze far-reaching.
If the superior recipe for the Golden Spirit Cage isn't handed over, Jiang Qiao can only imitate it superficially without truly mastering its essence, even if she's just supervising from the sidelines. Since that's the case, it's better to have her watch over both cages to prevent others from coveting them.
As for the rare opportunity of the Fuze pot, its most valuable aspect is undoubtedly its potential to increase the mutation rate. Leaving it to the third-generation [Muyuanhua] mother plant, which already has a 5% mutation rate, would better utilize its value.
If the [Wooden Flower] could mutate earlier and in a positive direction, it might be possible to transform it into an internal spiritual seed and use it as the first internal spiritual plant on one's cultivation path.
I've heard that all spiritual practitioners with deep-rooted wealth are like this.
They specially cultivate mutated spirit species to transform into the body.
However, they are following the path their fathers walked.
But I found myself on a path no one had anticipated.
