Chapter 47: The First Mutated Fruit
"Director, Jiang Qiao has successfully awakened."
In her mind, Jiang Qiu relayed the message to Director Jiang.
"Not bad, not bad. I can sense it. It's a metallic physique similar to the characteristics of the 'Golden Spirit Cage.' Thanks to you, Xiao Qiu," the voice on the other end of the bracelet was full of energy. "When you consume the [Initial Spirit Embryo], I will give you the necessary resources for cultivation as a thank you. You can also contact me if you need any help in the future."
"Thank you very much, Director. You have already helped me a lot."
"Haha, you've been a great help to my daughter too."
Director Jiang had a hearty laugh and was very warm and friendly.
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Jiang Qiu loosened the bracelet, severing the connection.
He then bid farewell to Zhao Nan and Yao Yao, preparing to return home to encourage the birth of the third generation of [Wooden Fate Flower]. Before leaving, he glanced at Jiang Qiao, who was still frowning and seemingly half-awake, and smiled slightly, "With the connection between our constitutions and Director Jiang's support, the road ahead will be much easier."
This connection has a special meaning.
However, there is no danger.
Consider it a favor to Director Jiang.
They boosted Jiang Qiao's potential in exchange for support.
after all.
According to the basic teachings included.
By using his rare physique to help Jiang Qiao replenish her overall physique, Jiang Qiao's physique would have the opportunity to transform into his own rare physique.
How far can one go on their own path?
The greater the potential of the other party.
Director Jiang passed on this basic method.
They have already made their needs and objectives clear.
Overall, the initiative still lies with oneself.
All you need to do is focus on preparing for tomorrow's assessment.
With that thought in mind, his eyes gleamed, and he strode out of the store.
......
Building No. 17 in the courtyard.
A crackling sound, a flash of electricity, and the fluorescent light illuminated the nursery. The only third-generation *Echeveria elegans* mother plant cast a shadow on the table.
After a month of growth, its natural growth cycle has been reset to zero. 25 large flower buds weigh down the branches, and the leaves are lush and green. Even if it breaks through the buds and bears fruit directly, it can produce fruit with unique characteristics.
However, that would only be considered inferior.
Only by achieving "abundant harvests of the finest quality" can we achieve this.
Only then can its value be fully realized.
To achieve better results in the assessment.
At the same time, it paves the way for one's own spiritual practice.
Jiang Qiu's eyes were bright, and a faint blue spiritual energy emanated from her fingertips.
We can start a massive production increase now.
[Consumes 10 strands of level 1 wood elemental energy]
【"Hair Growth" Level 1 Wood-type Spiritual Plant "Wood Edge Flower"】
[Optimization direction selected: Fruit quality can reach medium grade]
[Consumes 10 strands of level 1 wood elemental energy]
【"Hair Growth" Level 1 Wood-type Spiritual Plant "Wood Edge Flower"】
[Optimization direction selected: Medium-grade fruit yield +1]
【...】
[Optimization direction selected: Medium-grade fruit yield +1]
[Optimization direction selected: Medium-grade fruit yield +1]
[Optimization direction selected: Medium-grade fruit yield +1]
Boom! Boom! Boom! The green flower buds formed by the mother plant suddenly swelled up like popcorn, and 25 low-grade fruits that were about to be produced successively transformed into mid-grade fruits, causing the flower branches to tremble.
But this is not the limit yet.
A superior mother plant typically produces 25 fruits, 5 more than a lower-grade spirit plant, which is quite abundant. However, Jiang Qiu could still optimize it, so he chose "Increase the yield of wood edge flowers and fruits by 5" again!
With a crackling sound, several more tender green buds emerged from the branches of the mother plant, and grew larger with each growth, crowding the other buds that were bearing medium-grade fruits together, causing the branches to droop.
The "Abundant Harvest" panel did not appear.
Jiang Qiu's eyes flashed, and she continued to [reach the top]!
His gaze sharpened, and a wisp of red spiritual energy burst forth from between his fingers, shooting towards the third-generation mother plant like a wildfire—
[Consumes 50 strands of level 1 fire elemental energy]
【Top-tier Level 1 Wood-type Spiritual Plant "Wood Edge Flower"】
[Imminent Transformation, Choosing a Random Optimization Direction:]
【1. Refining Characteristics】
2. Digestive characteristics
3. Reproductive Characteristics
Although this pot of [Wood Edge Flower] was used for the assessment, it would still be supplied to Zhao Nan to make money afterward, so Jiang Qiu chose option one without hesitation.
Boom! A ball of fire scorched the flower bud, turning the outer shell into ashes that scattered in the flames. Emerald green light burst forth, and with a snap, a jade-like fruit was revealed, once again cultivating a superior product!
[Continuing the previous approach to cultivating superior fruits, when "reaching the top," select "refine traits," and the superior fruit will cultivate to have the same traits.]
【Premium Woody Plant with Flowers and Fruits (Third Generation)】
【Characteristic 1: Wood-type spiritual energy metabolism rate tripled】
【Characteristic 2: The success rate of producing high-grade level 1 pills is doubled】
Jiang Qiu followed the same method, and boom boom boom! In the blink of an eye, the mother plant transformed into a flame tree. The flower buds that were originally nurturing mid-grade fruits were surrounded by raging flames, and the mid-grade fruits continued to transform into high-grade fruits, with emerald green light standing out.
[Continuing the previous approach to cultivating superior fruits, when "reaching the top," select "refine traits," and the superior fruit will cultivate to have the same traits.]

【...】
Suddenly, he stopped moving, his eyes widened, and a strange light flashed deep within them, igniting a long-awaited torch—
[Consumes 50 strands of level 1 fire elemental energy]
【Top-tier Level 1 Wood-type Spiritual Plant "Wood Edge Flower"】
[This "top-up" event triggers mutation (limited to once per plant)]
[Imminent mutation, choose random optimization direction:]
【1. Extraction of Characteristics (Mutation)】
2. Digestive characteristics (variation)
3. Reproductive characteristics (variation)
The mutation of the fruit is equivalent to the mutation of the spirit seed. It may breed a new level 1 spirit plant. Because of its high value and rarity, it may also be unable to reproduce. Once a fruit is obtained from this mutation, it is difficult to see it again after it is used.
The selection of features must be done carefully.
Thump, thump, thump, Jiang Qiu broke out in a cold sweat, his heart pounding. "Option one: only by selling it to alchemists and array masters can it fully realize its value, and it may not be of much benefit to my cultivation."
"Option two: even if you don't choose to transform it into a spiritual seed within your body, you can consume it directly and immediately gain benefits, which are quite numerous."
"As for the third point, if I choose the characteristic of 'Infinite Scarcity (Rare Transformation)' for my 'Heart Field' at that time, then all spiritual seeds planted in my body will be unable to bear fruit, which would be contradictory."
After careful consideration, option two yields the highest return.
Jiang Qiu resolutely chose option two!
[Given that the nutrient soil increases the mutation rate by 5% and the mother plant has a 30% mutation rate, during the "top-growing" process, the corresponding high-quality fruit undergoes mutation, producing variant characteristics—]
【Premium Woody Plant with Flowers and Fruits (Third Generation)】
【Characteristic 1: Increases the rate of wood-attribute spiritual energy metabolism by 3 times (other effects follow after consumption)】
【Trait 2: Wood Growth (Mutation)】
[Effect: Cannot be used as a spirit seed. After ingestion, there is a very high probability of awakening a common wood-type physique related to "spiritual energy metabolism rate," a very small probability of awakening a rare wood-type physique, and a short-term recovery of physical injuries.]
[Caution: This product may cause death if ingested by creatures with an affinity for metallic spiritual energy.]
[Benefit: When consumed by creatures with affinity for wood and fire elemental energies, it will generate additional cultivation effects]
