Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Breeding Rate 3 to 1!

Song Yunxi took out a scroll from his chest pocket and released the twenty-three Spiritual Birds contained within.

Chen Mo had asked during their flight; the price of this kind of Storage Treasure, similar to a Demon Beast Space, was instantly a hundred times higher! A Storage Ring was only five Low Grade Spirit Stones, whereas the Demon Beast Scroll in the other man’s hand was worth five Middle Grade Spirit Stones. Usually, an entire Marketplace would only have one such item, kept personally by the Pavilion Master, serving as a symbol of status and position.

After all, whether it was Purple Cloud Peak or the Cyan Yang Sect, none of those powerful Cultivators liked to eat dead things; they much preferred their food freshly slaughtered!

Chen Mo took a few more glances, knowing well that it was useless to envy such a Magical Treasure. Setting aside whether he could even save up five hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones, even if he had the money, he probably wouldn’t have the connections to buy it.

He pushed open the door, and a massive living room came into view. Behind a giant folding screen were tables and chairs crafted from premium wood. Mink furs draped over the chairs added an extra touch of luxury. Walking further inside, there was a fully equipped study and bedroom. Almost every piece of furniture they could think of was provided. The only slight regret was that the house only had a Defensive Array and hadn’t yet achieved constant temperature and humidity control. However, this was more than enough!

Song Yunxi walked beside Chen Mo without interrupting, letting him stroll casually around to inspect the place. This was a house he had personally commissioned from skilled craftsmen, rushing the construction over a month. In other words, it was the best house among all the Spirit Plant Cultivators in the entire White Snake Marketplace! It was far beyond what anyone else’s little wooden cabin could compare to.

"How is it?"

"You’ve put a lot of thought into this, Brother Song."

"It’s just mundane stuff, nothing much, really."

The house looked nice, but compared to the Disciple Residences at Purple Cloud Peak, it still fell quite short. Rooms built from Spirit Wood inherently possessed nourishing properties. Moreover, for a Cultivator, location was far more important than the building itself!

Chen Mo knew he was just being polite, so he didn’t dwell on the matter. He turned around, walked to the door, and said, "Let’s go then."

"Where..." The words reached the tip of Song Yunxi’s tongue before he suddenly burst into hearty laughter. "Brother Chen is indeed meticulous! Let’s go! I’ll have to take up a few days of your time then!"

Leaving the house, the three of them traveled via Sword Flight.

After they left, the surrounding Spirit Plant Cultivators gradually gathered around and began discussing animatedly.

"I heard that the man just now is the new Pavilion Master!"

"Really?"

"How could it be fake?!"

"Then who is the owner of this house?"

"A Cultivator from Purple Cloud Peak, obviously? Who else could it be? Don’t tell me he’s just a Spirit Plant Cultivator like me?" a young Cultivator in the crowd said sourly.

As for the other small group of Female Cultivators, their eyes instantly lit up.

"A Cultivator from Purple Cloud Peak? Then what is he doing here in the Marketplace?"

"It’s called experiencing mortal life, don’t you understand?"

The White Snake Marketplace was located slightly to the left of the center of the governed Spirit Fields. Walking from Chen Mo’s Spirit Field would take half a cup of tea’s time at most. Now, traveling via Sword Flight, it was merely the matter of a single takeoff and landing. Song Yunxi had his own considerations for assigning him that specific Spirit Field.

Before descending, Chen Mo caught a glimpse of the Wandering Bookstore, saw the breeding station, and even spotted elaborately dressed Female Cultivators swaying by their doorways. The entertainment industry truly existed everywhere.

The three landed at the Master’s Mansion, and immediately, two Guards came forward to greet them.

"Greetings, Pavilion Master!"

Song Yunxi gave a slight nod and asked, "Shall we relax for a bit first?"

Chen Mo waved his hand. "No need, spring is right around the corner."

Song Yunxi didn’t stand on ceremony. He also knew time was running short; if the seeds weren’t bred soon, the Spirit Plant Cultivators wouldn’t be able to sow them before spring arrived. The first thing he had done after arriving last month was to summon the Breeders here. Upon learning that the highest breeding ratio among the three Breeders was merely over twenty to one, he straightforwardly told them to stop working.

Just like in the Ancient Dust Marketplace, Spirit Yellow Rice seeds here cost five taels per catty. Adding the Breeder’s one-tael commission, it meant there was absolutely no profit to be made! Looking at it this way, Breeders with higher success rates were exceptionally precious.

Chen Mo entered the dark room dedicated to Breeding. A quaint Storage Ring lay quietly on the table. To prevent him from being disturbed, Song Yunxi had personally ordered that no one was allowed to approach without his permission!

Under the dim light, Chen Mo took a deep breath, extracted two hundred catties of Spirit Yellow Rice from the Storage Space, and began the Breeding process.

Two hours later, the two hundred catties of rice had been transformed into twenty catties of Spirit Seeds. At the same time, his Qi Crossing Technique experience had grown from 33 points to 73 points. At a rate of 2 experience points per ten catties of rice, he only needed to process over three thousand more catties for this Magic to break through to Great Success!

The days in the Breeding Room were dull and monotonous. Aside from normal rest, Chen Mo spent all his time continuously applying Qi Crossing, Breeding, Qi Crossing, and Breeding. If not for his habit of ascetic Cultivation, simply processing these eight hundred catties of seeds would have driven him crazy. Fortunately, the constant accumulation of experience and harvest served as one of the motivations driving him to overcome the tedium.

On the third day, Chen Mo had bred nearly four hundred catties of Spirit Seeds, consuming half of the Spirit Rice inside the Storage Ring provided by Song Yunxi. Feeling his technique instantly become effortless, he stopped and opened his interface, his gaze focusing on the [Breeding] Talent.

[Breeding (Orange): Draw Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into the seeds of all living things to nurture life within. When the day of germination arrives, life will burst forth. This method can be integrated into Qi Crossing Magic, increasing Breeding success rate by 350% (Already integrated with Qi Crossing Technique. You may choose whether to apply it when casting. If this method upgrades, the Talent will also upgrade.)]

"Orange? A 350% success rate!"

He noted that green to blue had increased it by 50%, blue to purple by 100%, and purple to orange by 150%. Adding the inherent success rate of the Qi Crossing Technique at Great Success, he wondered how many catties of Spirit Rice it would take to produce one catty of seeds now.

Chen Mo hastily took out ten catties of Spirit Rice, then applied the Qi Crossing Technique with ease and severed the connection. After a cup of tea’s time, looking at the thirty percent success yield, he subconsciously swallowed hard.

"Three to one?!"

He was amazed that three catties of Spirit Rice could yield one catty of seeds.

Chen Mo secretly clenched his fists. After pondering for a long time, he finally made up his mind. Having too many seeds was of no use to him. Now that his success rate had drastically improved, all the saved Spirit Rice would belong to him. To process the remaining four thousand catties of Spirit Rice based on the current ratio, he only needed twelve hundred catties. The excess twenty-eight hundred catties would all be his!

However, this Spirit Rice would eventually need to be sold to be converted into Spirit Stones. Therefore, Chen Mo decided that around this time next year, he would use a breakthrough as an excuse to reveal a bit more of his capabilities to Song Yunxi. As for the saved Spirit Rice, it would be factored into his compensation. He believed the other party would be more than happy with this arrangement!

Next, Chen Mo spent only one day breeding the remaining four hundred catties of seeds, transferring the excess twenty-eight hundred catties of Spirit Rice into his own Storage Space. To avoid any misunderstandings, he deliberately spent another two days in Cultivation inside the Breeding Room before finally opening the tightly sealed doors!
