Chapter 222 The Cotton Tree
While everyone was making a ruckus while eating breakfast, Yun Ci and Chu Ziming led the little ones along the spirit field into the distance.
In the distance, there are blue skies and white clouds, with mountain peaks appearing and disappearing intermittently; nearby, there are soft, green meadows, fragrant flowers, and vast fields of sacred land.
As Yun Ci walked, she put the Linglong grass, vegetables, and fruits piled up beside her into her storage ring.
One hundred acres of spiritual fields is too large; even with more than fifty people cultivating them, less than a third has been used.
Yun Ci went to the spirit field where no vegetables were planted and spread a large soft cloth on the grass next to it to sit on.
A small square wooden table was placed on top.
Take out the beef jerky, pork jerky, spicy strips, seaweed, French fries, potato chips, apple juice, orange juice, and watermelon juice and put them on the small table.
"Alright, you guys can play here."
Little Ginseng and Little White pounced on the soft cloth, rolling around on it with hearty laughter.
You can smell the damp scent of grass every now and then.
Yun Ci and Chu Ziming looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Xiao Hei was eating watermelon with gusto.
The timid mushroom also arrived, and as soon as it got there, it excitedly hopped and skipped into the superior spirit field that was shimmering with tiny lights.
He buried himself in the soil of the sacred field, and the shimmering spores were scattered on the sacred field.
Chu Ziming chewed on beef jerky. "Yun Ci, I've started cultivating."
"Uh-huh."
Yun Ci nodded, and at the same time took out the seeds of Mianmian Ball, Linglong Grass, Mengyue Grass and Chiling Fruit.
Besides resting today, he also wanted to grow some cotton balls and moonflowers to sell.
Winter is coming, and there will definitely be a lot of people buying cotton balls, so I can earn some spirit stones again.
After the disciples from each peak finished their meal, they started planting vegetables again.
While waiting for the vegetables to ripen, some people would sit and meditate beside the sacred field.
Some people, such as Tian Daniu, Cai Cai, and Xu Tianwei, would come over and chat with Yun Ci for a while before going back to their work.
Yun Ci used a small shovel to dig in the spirit field, making a small hole, then put the seeds in and covered them with soil.
Xiao Hong was also helping to dig the hole.
Yun Ci planted the cotton ball seeds, watered them with stream water, and said softly, "Seed, you must grow well."
Then, they began to cover the spiritual field with wood elemental power.
Enveloped in vibrant green light, a tiny green sprout visibly broke through the soil.
The star-like dots on the superior spiritual field surrounded the small sprout.
The little sprout kept growing.
Seeing this, Yun Ci channeled some more wood elemental energy before stopping.
The little sprout did not stop growing; it kept growing until it grew into a small tree more than a meter tall.
One by one, the spherical objects burst open, squeezed by their contents, revealing the still-growing cotton balls inside.
The slender trunk below is brownish-black, covered with white cotton-like flowers.
From a distance, it looks like a giant object stuck in the ground.
Perhaps influenced by the spiritual power of the Cloud-Ceasing Wood, the vegetables in the spiritual field next to the Talisman Peak, where a disciple had not yet made a move, all grew in an instant.
The disciples of Fulu Peak who were meditating nearby had just opened their eyes when they saw the lush green vegetables.
He was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.
After a long while, he touched his dantian and murmured, "Could it be that I still have a wood spirit root? No, I'll go back and apply to the peak master to have my spirit root tested again."
Yun Ci's eyes widened in disbelief; this tree actually had so many cotton balls!
Luckily I didn't buy the cotton balls, which saved me a few spirit stones.
Yun Ci's delicate little face turned rosy. A butterfly landed on the little boy's curly head, and Yun Ci happily patted the fluffy ball.
So soft.
Just then, a gasp came from the side.
A disciple dressed in the outer sect robes of Spirit Plant Peak walked over, his face full of shock.
"This is... a Softwood tree? Yun Ci, you can actually grow Softwood balls, how did you do that?"
The inner disciples of the Spirit Plant Peak nearby were equally astonished by the sheer number of cotton balls.
"Yes, Yun Ci, how did you manage to get the Soft Cotton Tree to produce so many Soft Cotton Balls all at once? Could it be that the seeds are different...?"
As he spoke, the disciple fell into deep thought.
Several disciples from the Spirit Plant Peak also walked over and circled around, looking at the pine tree.
Yun Ci was a little puzzled. "Are there other kinds of seeds? But I bought them at the general store. You can buy them there."
After saying that, the inner disciple of Spirit Plant Peak frowned and said, "I also bought the seeds from the general store. I even spent a whole day trying to convince them..."
"Yes, I bought it from the grocery store too."
I was thinking that since winter was coming, I would plant some cotton balls to sell. Every morning I would sing to my cotton tree, and eventually it produced five cotton balls.
"Isn't this great? I just started planting..."
"Stop talking, can't you hear my voice is hoarse?"
Yun Ci listened to everyone's conversation and asked with some confusion, "You're talking about coaxing Mianmian Tree, but what are you coaxing?"
The disciples from Lingzhi Peak were even more shocked by Yun Ci's appearance.
That shouldn't be the case. Yun Ci doesn't understand? Then how come this pine tree is growing so well?
Cai Cai explained, "The 'cotton ball' has a unique growth characteristic: you have to coax it and sing to it while it's growing for it to produce cotton balls."
A typical shrubbery plant can produce five to ten shrubs.
Yun Ci's pine tree has dozens of clumps of leaves, and even the leaves have been squeezed out. It's amazing!
"Yun Ci, how did you coax her? Can you teach me?"
When he gets back, he will definitely repeat Yun Ci's words verbatim to his family's cotton bolls.
The disciples from Lingzhi Peak beside him nodded vigorously.
"Mmm, Yun Ci, can you teach us?"
Yun Ci blinked at the excited crowd, "Uh, I just said I wanted it to grow quickly, so I used wood elemental power..."
"That's it? It's that simple?" Cai Cai was shocked.
Yun Ci nodded heavily, "Yes! It's that simple! Perhaps it's because of the superior spiritual field."
"Possibly, after all, this is a top-grade spiritual field."
"However, as Vice Peak Master Han said, the spirit field is also an auxiliary function. It can shorten the growth cycle of spirit plants, make the spiritual energy contained more concentrated, and increase the chances of them becoming high-grade spirit plants."
However, the success of a spiritual plant depends primarily on the spiritual plant master.
The disciples of Lingzhi Peak around them secretly resolved to tell their Mianmian trees what Yun Ci had said when they returned.
Perhaps they were always talking to the cotton tree, and the cotton tree got annoyed by it!
......
After talking for a while and discussing their experiences in planting spiritual plants, everyone went back to their work.
Yun Ci also started getting busy.
......
Moon Cloud Peak.
Liquids of various colors were laid out on the ground, and the jars next to them contained the venom of various thousand-year-old poisonous spiders and spirit snakes from the extreme cold ice caves.
"cough cough..."
The sound of coughing could be heard from time to time in the room.
Su Mo stared at the white medicine bottle in his palm, his sickly face revealing a mixture of obsession and madness.
"Cough cough cough cough cough cough..."
Immediately afterwards, Su Mo frowned.
After a series of heart-wrenching coughs, Su Mo put away the white medicine bottle containing purple liquid, took out another inconspicuous-looking medicine bottle from the side, and walked out of the room.
The coughing gradually faded away.
