Chapter 85
: Reproduction, the "Southern Jujube" Life Seed (Please continue reading)
"Proliferation".
High-level spells related to life.
Its effects include shortening the time required to conceive and increasing the number of offspring.
However, if that's all there is to it...
"Procreation" cannot be considered a high-level spell.
Its greatest ability is to imprint a certain characteristic of a spiritual creature into its bloodline by consuming spiritual creatures, and there is a certain probability of giving birth to special offspring that contain the characteristics of the spiritual creature.
According to the information Li Changsheng obtained at the "Lingzhong Hall".
There are only two techniques related to life.
These are the lower-level "Healing" and "Sprouting".
However, its price is outrageously high.
It cost a full three thousand low-grade spirit stones.
thus.
Li Changsheng was so surprised to learn about the Bee Queen's innate magical abilities.
"What a pity..."
Coming to his senses, Li Changsheng felt both surprised and regretful.
If it were Frog Prodigy or even Great Intelligence who awakened the "Reproduction" talent, he could use it to open a beast breeding pen.
But the queen bee is a magical insect.
Even if its offspring inherit some spiritual characteristics, they are destined to be bees or insects.
And it follows the maternal lineage of bees.
Most of the offspring bred by the queen bee are underdeveloped worker bees. No matter how powerful they are, they are still incomplete worms with short lifespans and cannot fetch a good price.
However, the vision of opening up animal enclosures failed.
However, spirit bees can produce spirit honey, and the queen bee's innate spell "reproduction" can enhance the strength of her offspring, which can be used to defend against enemies.
Li Changsheng's mood quickly improved.
Coming to his senses, he carefully examined the queen bee's condition and whether its innate spell "Reproduction" had been imprinted with the spiritual characteristics of its bloodline.
The queen bee's physical body is fine, but her spiritual energy has been drained, leaving her in an extremely weak state. She can recover by being fed spiritual food.
However, its innate spell "Procreation" is imprinted with the characteristics of a spiritual creature.
Its characteristic is "stealth".
Its effect is to allow one to briefly enter a state of invisibility.
"Invisibility..."
Li Changsheng's mind stirred slightly, and he suddenly recalled the first time he saw the superior-grade demonic beast Crescent Bear. It seemed to be running away, its claws flailing wildly at something.
"Was it done by the queen bee's offspring...?"
Then, thinking about how Crescent Bear somehow obtained a beehive and lured them into the formation, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"Wow, that's impressive!..."
Li Changsheng's eyes grew brighter.
The fact that it could force the superior-grade demon beast Crescent Bear to flee shows that the offspring of the Queen Bee must be incredibly powerful.
"But what about the queen bee's offspring? Are they all dead?... "
His gaze involuntarily fell on the beehive.
I did a quick check.
There were indeed a large number of bees inside the emerald green beehive, but they were all dead, seemingly drained of their spiritual energy by the great formation.
The spiritual honey contained therein was all dry and stiff, devoid of any spiritual energy.
"What a pity..."
Li Changsheng shook his head slightly. Hearing the rustling sounds around him, he quickly picked the emerald green beehive, gave the queen bee a low-grade spirit stone, and urged it to return to the hive.
Then she stuffed it into Ya Ya's arms, who was carrying things in both hands.
He was preparing to leave and continue his search for monsters.
But I don't know why.
His gaze suddenly fell on the withered sapling, and a thought suddenly struck him. He realized that the queen bee was a spirit insect, and no matter how poor she was, she wouldn't build her nest on a dead tree.
"Could it be spirit wood that was drained by the great formation..."
With this thought in mind, Li Changsheng reached out and placed his hand on the tree trunk, staring intently at it.
[A withered spiritual plant: containing a faint trace of natural essence, when ground into powder, can be used to cultivate the life-giving seed "Love Flower".]
"Um?…"
Upon receiving the information, Li Changsheng was taken aback. After regaining his senses, his eyes brightened slightly, and he seemed to be deep in thought.
"A natural scent, just like those insect shells..."
However, when he heard voices behind him...
Without much thought, he put down Ya Ya, who was covered in spoils of war, and instructed Frog Pride and Great Wisdom to be on guard.
He wielded the low-grade magic weapon "Wind Scythe" and began digging.
In no time at all.
A lingnong dressed in a gray outer robe entered the open space.
When they saw Li Changsheng digging up dead wood, carrying a gray rabbit in his left hand, a wooden cage in his right, and a sprout with a bright green honeycomb in his arms, they were taken aback.
I came to my senses.
Seeing the big, clever frog baring its teeth and making threatening growling sounds, and the frog, who looked like a giant bronze statue, enviously glanced at what Ya Ya was holding and wisely stepped back.
Shortly thereafter.
Several more people arrived in succession.
Upon seeing the two people and two beasts, some left immediately, while others asked what they were doing digging up the dead wood. When Li Changsheng and Ya Ya ignored them, they left sheepishly.
A short while later, it was over.
Li Changsheng finally managed to dig out the thick main root of the sapling, which was as tall as a person. Just as he picked it up, he suddenly let out a soft "Eh."
He hurriedly placed the withered sapling beside the pit.
He crouched down and rummaged through the soil a couple of times. A slightly rough carapace, marked with patterns resembling plant petals, came into view.
"This is... that insect's shell?... "
Li Changsheng's eyes lit up. He was no longer in a hurry to leave and picked up the low-grade magic weapon "Wind Scythe" to continue digging.
Not long after.
A shell, about the size of a millstone, resembling a tortoise shell and covered with dense cracks, appeared.
"What kind of insect is this? It's huge..."
Li Changsheng looked at the carapace in surprise, but without thinking much, he grabbed its corners and lifted it out entirely.
Perhaps it's because there's no external pressure.
As soon as it was placed at the edge of the pit, its shell collapsed and scattered all over the ground along with the soil.
"Oh dear..."
Ya Ya curiously approached and scratched at the shell a couple of times.
When she touched a clod of earth.
The soil collapsed.
A touch of pale red was revealed.
"Um?…"
Li Changsheng had just jumped out of the pit when he caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, his eyes widening in surprise, "A cloth bag or something?...
He crouched down and peeled away the attached soil.
A shrunken cloth bag, no bigger than a baby's fist, pale red in color, of unknown material, was revealed.
"Could it be a storage bag from a novel from my past life?... "
Thinking of this, Li Changsheng's eyes lit up.
He carefully picked it up and sensed it, but couldn't detect any spiritual energy or restriction, which made him somewhat disappointed.
However, its material is extremely smooth, with very dense stitches, seemingly woven from some kind of silk. On its back, there is an embroidered furry red spider.
"A mortal's sachet...?"
He shook his head slightly.
But since I'd already seen it, I untied the rope, opened the bag, and poured the contents out.
To his surprise...
There were no spices in the sachet.
Instead, along with some powder, an oval seed rolled out.
"seed?…"
For a moment, Li Changsheng was puzzled. He reached out and picked up the oval seed. The instant he touched it, he sensed an extremely subtle spiritual energy within it.
"This is... a spirit seed?"
Before he could think it through.
A strange vitality suddenly surged from the empty life point in his "Life Pouch," enveloping the spiritual seed in his palm. It was absorbed into the life point and instantly nurtured into a life seed.
at the same time.
A piece of information popped into his mind.
"Southern Sour Jujube" is a medium-sized shrub species.
Its effect is to strengthen the meridians.
"Um?…"
Upon receiving the information, Li Changsheng was stunned.
A life-sustaining spirit seed?
What kind of spirit seed is this? ...
What's with this supposedly strengthening meridians? ...
