[lv2 Plant Growth (1/200): By consuming energy, the growth speed of plants can be increased.]
"The description is the sa as in my previous life, no changes. But the efficiency of accelerated growth should improve a lot..."
Qi Ping rembered that when upgrading from level one to level two, the effect of the Plant Growth Skill should enhance by about thirty percent.
"Just not sure how the increase will be in the Immortal Cultivation Realm..."
Qi Ping could clearly feel that after the Plant Growth Skill upgraded to level two, he could harness more special energy...
Since Qi Ping was right at the place where Blood Ginseng was cultivated, he couldn’t wait to try it out.
As the special energy from Qi Ping’s palm was slowly absorbed by a Blood Ginseng plant, its previously shriveled body imdiately plumped up and grew visibly larger.
This scene made Qi Ping extrely happy inside.
"The growth acceleration efficiency has also increased by about thirty percent!" Qi Ping was incomparably excited.
Don’t underestimate this 30%; if Qi Ping devotes more energy to nurturing Spiritual dicine, compared to previous normal cultivation progress, the output of Spiritual dicine can almost be more than double!
Not to ntion that the level two Plant Growth Skill will have better effects on the cultivation of older Spirit Plants.
With the output of Spiritual dicine doubled compared to before, the soldier production rate of the Golden Marrow Bees can also increase exponentially!
"Additionally, more Day Essence Flowers and Moon Sleep Flowers can be cultivated, as these fast-growing and low-Spiritual Land-requirent ordinary Spirit Flowers are just right for providing for the bees’ daily consumption. This way, adding a small amount of Blood Ginseng won’t impact the combat power of the bee colony, allowing more Blood Ginseng to be used for nurturing new larvae..."
Previously, Qi Ping would let the Golden Marrow Bees consu honey brewed directly from Blood Ginseng daily.
He did so with the intention of enhancing the individual combat power of the Golden Marrow Bees, and also because the supply of Blood Ginseng was relatively sufficient.
But now, if production is to expand on a large scale, careful planning is necessary.
For daily needs, the bees can collect ordinary nectar or other items close to Spiritual Objects and supplent with a bit of Blood Ginseng Spiritual dicine, which will be sufficient for daily requirents.
Especially once the Brewer Big Belly Bee is cultivated, it will certainly be able to maximize the effects with minimal Spiritual dicine, reducing the demand for Spiritual dicine resources in daily consumption.
The surplus Spiritual dicine can then be fully used for mass-producing soldiers, cultivating more High-speed Ring-cutting Bees to deal with crises.
After making the decision, Qi Ping instructed the Golden Marrow Bees accordingly, and they were equally excited upon learning about it.
They had long wanted to produce soldiers but refrained only because Qi Ping hadn’t allowed it, fully aware that the production of Spiritual dicine was limited and that producing too much would be detrintal to the normal reproduction and developnt of the bee colony.
With Qi Ping providing guidance now, they imdiately realized the plan, sending more Golden Marrow Bees to collect various pollen and Spiritual dicine for honey brewing for daily consumption.
The high-quality honey brewed with high-grade Blood Ginseng will be used to nurture High-speed Ring-cutting Bees, Balanced Bees, and Big Belly Bees.
After finding a solution to the Spiritual dicine resource issue for soldier production, a weight was lifted from Qi Ping’s heart.
The next step is to focus fully on mass-producing soldiers!
...
After waking up the next day, Qi Ping first accelerated the cultivation of Blood Ginseng and then t up with Sister Nan as agreed, heading together to the Fusheng Association’s house beneath the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
The weather along the way was sowhat gloomy, with clusters of dark clouds spanning the sky, seemingly foretelling a massive storm.
Qi Ping and Sister Nan thought they arrived early, but upon arrival, they found several people were already there.
In one glance, two familiar faces were among them: Wang Mountain and Fatty Zhou.
Besides them, there was a sallow-faced young man nad Li Peng, older than Qi Ping, with cultivation at the Fourth-Layer of Qi Refining. He was considered one of the most talented mbers of the Fusheng Association.
Only Lin Chaoyang, who died in the Secret Realm, could rival him in talent.
This person originally had the opportunity to beco even a Servant Disciple or an Outer Disciple of the Cyan Origin Sect, but for so unknown reason, he did not go.
Now, he raises a pond of Gold-eyed Carp in a mountain stream in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range and is said to have his own unique fish-raising secret recipe, earning more Spirit Stones than most in the Fusheng Association.
Yet, despite making plenty of Spirit Stones, he has no passion for cultivation, spending all but the rent and daily expenses indulging in brothels.
Li Peng’s sallow complexion resulted from excessive indulgence.
Once, while visiting a brothel, he almost got his energy drained by an evil male cultivator disguised as a woman.
Qi Ping and others thought he would restrain himself after this lesson, but he continued to indulge enthusiastically. As soon as he had Spirit Stones, he would visit those places.
When out of Spirit Stones, he occasionally sought pleasure in the Mortal World, yet, as Li Peng confessed, mortal won, in comparison to female cultivators, were far less satisfying. After experiencing female cultivators, he had little interest in mortals.
Besides the sallow-faced Li Peng, there was also a young female cultivator dressed in white.
Her na was ng Shanshan, with cultivation at the Second-Layer of Qi Refining, her skills were average, but she was quite beautiful.
However, she wasn’t very familiar with the mbers of the Fusheng Association. Her entry into the association largely relied on the connections her father had built up.
Currently, she was working as a helper in a Spirit Field in Zone A of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
Qi Ping didn’t have a very good impression of her.
Two years ago, Old Man Zhou and ng Shanshan’s father tried to match him and ng Shanshan, but she refused Qi Ping rcilessly in front of many people, belittling him as well, stating that her future husband should at least be an Outer Disciple of the Cyan Origin Sect.
The straightforwardness of ng Shanshan’s words left the Fusheng Association mbers awkward at the ti. While the rejection was understandable, the harsh words were not.
In the end, it was Qi Ping who eased the awkwardness by steering the topic away.
Qi Ping thought she was unreasonable; a simple refusal would suffice, but why humiliate? He initially didn’t have strong feelings towards her, and after that incident, his impression deteriorated further.
Thus, upon entering, Qi Ping greeted other people but treated ng Shanshan as if she were air.
The other mbers of the Fusheng Association also rely nodded to ng Shanshan, apparently not very fond of her either.
If it weren’t for the connections her father had built, they probably wouldn’t have inford her to co.
With this, everyone who was supposed to attend the gathering had arrived; including Qi Ping and Sister Nan, there were six people in total.
Initially, there should have been six more.
However, Lin Chaoyang had died in the Secret Realm, two left after the rent increase, and one moved overnight after the Demonic Insect appeared.
Another one had been partially devoured by a Demonic Insect while scouting for information about them...
The once lively Fusheng Association was reduced to just six people in a short ti...
And the situation of the Fusheng Association wasn’t an exception but a reflection of the situation in Qingshi County at the ti.
In chaotic tis, it’s hard for Loose Cultivators to survive...
