Chapter 125 Spiritual Plants

After Li Chang'an finished speaking, the live stream room was silent for a few seconds.

Then, the comments section started to erupt.

[Oh my god! When did you acquire this ability, streamer? Can you make any kind of spiritual plant? Do you accept custom orders?]

[I want to awaken my spiritual root! I'm going to wreak havoc everywhere!]

Is there anyone who can help me break through to the Golden Core stage immediately?

[Hey, it seems like everyone's treating the streamer like a god, making wishes on their behalf.]

The comments section was filled with excitement, and the expressions they made were becoming increasingly exaggerated.

Li Chang'an couldn't help but chuckle: "That's impossible. If we want to mass-produce them, we can only endow them with relatively minor abilities. If we want them to be able to awaken spiritual roots, then there might only be a few left."

There are tens of millions of people watching the live stream right now. If there are only a few spiritual plants available, the chances of getting one are extremely slim.

"Let's just go with mass production then. I don't believe in my luck."

We've been experiencing the rainy season here for the past few days, and it's been raining constantly. Our house is also getting moldy, and the clothes we wash take forever to dry. Is it possible to cultivate some kind of dehumidifying and mold-removing plant?

I want something that can cure my insomnia; I haven't had a good night's sleep in ages.

[Can spiritual plants reduce noise? I live by the roadside, and the traffic is very noisy every day. There are also people riding motorcycles and speeding around late at night. My elderly family members are light sleepers, and I hope this can help them sleep peacefully.]

Li Chang'an watched the comments scroll by and summarized a few frequently occurring words.

Tianxuan was also watching the live stream. After discussing it with Li Chang'an, they set up a three-minute poll in the live stream.

The live streaming platform has a limited-time voting function. After setting it up, a page will pop up for the viewers. After voting, the vote will turn into a small ball floating in the upper left corner.

Based on the abilities mentioned in the comments, Li Chang'an and Tian Xuan selected five options: noise reduction, dehumidification and mold removal, insect repellent, deodorization, and cooling.

The top three spiritual plants will be cultivated based on the voting results.

The ability to transform mortals into spirits is a blessing from the mountain god, and only Li Chang'an can use that mountain god's spiritual seal.

With his current cultivation level, he can transform three acres of chrysanthemums into spirits every day.

However, such high-quality chrysanthemums only have a five-year duration of effect, so they consume a lot of spiritual energy.

However, if only short-term abilities are granted, more flowers can be transformed from ordinary to spiritual.

Three minutes later, the voting results were in: the top three were cooling and refrigeration, dehumidification and mold removal, and noise reduction.

Summer is approaching in Xia Kingdom, and temperatures are rising in many places. Considering the upcoming period of high temperatures, most netizens feel that cooling plants are even more necessary.

"Okay, see you next time we're live." After saying that, Li Chang'an waved at the camera and then ended the live stream.

Over the past two days, the flower spirits helped him plant all sorts of flowers in the entire flower-growing area.

One thousand acres of flowers were reserved for Li Chang'an to consecrate them with spiritual energy, while the remaining several thousand acres were planted with roses, honeysuckle, common chrysanthemums, and hibiscus.

In the area where Jiarong Mountain and Qingyao Mountain meet, there is an open space where Li Chang'an planted a grove of osmanthus trees.

These flowers are planted as raw materials for making flower tea. The flower spirits control these flowers to prevent them from absorbing too much spiritual energy and turning into spiritual plants. After a flower is picked, it will grow back, thus ensuring a sufficient supply of raw materials.

In the industrial park of Xianshan Farm Co., Ltd., the tea factory buildings are also under construction.

After turning off the live stream, Li Chang'an used the Mountain God's Seal to imbue dozens of acres of orchids with spiritual power, first endowing them with the ability to cool and refrigerate.

The mountain god's seal absorbed most of his spiritual power, the light dissipated, and the temperature in the orchid field dropped slightly to a comfortable level.

The green and white flower spirit said, "These flowers are of the water attribute and can lower the ambient temperature within a certain range. The effect lasts for two months."

Li Chang'an thanked it and went home to pack the packages.

*

Once your spiritual energy is almost depleted, you can eat some spiritual fruits and immortal rice to replenish it.

In this way, Li Chang'an can use Fan Cheng Ling at least three times a day, and if he stays up late, he can use it four times.

In the colorful Leisure Pool, the Flying Star Lotus in the green area has blossomed.

It's only been half a month since it was planted.

The stem of the flying star lotus is relatively short, and the flowers bloom close to the water's surface, already adorned with chains. Silk dragonflies swarm around these flowers, and with food in hand, their flight seems happier than before.

The flower spirits say that the flowers of the Flying Star Lotus can bloom for a long time, but they can use their spiritual power to make the flowers grow and wither quickly, and to hasten the formation of lotus seeds.

Li Chang'an was thinking of planting more Flying Star Lotus, ideally in every pond in the green area of ​​the Leisure Pool.

With permission, the flower spirits used their spiritual power on the two flying star lotuses, leaving the remaining seven to provide food for the silk dragonflies.

Each little flower spirit emitted light, and they swirled around the Flying Star Lotus, softly humming an ethereal melody.

The light swirled and intertwined, enveloping the two flying star lotuses.

The lotus blossoms unfolded more and more, then slowly faded. The petals fell into the water, turning into specks of light and disappearing.

When the flower spirits finished their music, they picked two plump lotus pods and brought them to Li Chang'an by the pond.

Each lotus pod contains twenty lotus seeds. These seeds can be planted after being soaked in Ningjing River water for one day.

The green and white flower spirit handed the lotus seedpod to Li Chang'an and said, "Our spiritual power is weak, and we can only use our ripening power once a day."

"It's already very good, thank you."

Li Chang'an took the lotus pods home and soaked the lotus seeds.

After the forty lotus seeds were planted, the flower spirits used their spiritual power to create another eight hundred lotus seeds.

The flower spirits have limited spiritual power; they can only ripen a maximum of eight hundred Flying Star Lotuses per day.

But after using spiritual power once, you can get 16,000 lotus seeds, which is already a lot.

Therefore, by the time Li Chang'an's next live stream, the green area of ​​Xiaoyao Pond had been planted with a patch of flying star lotus.

Wenwen's scout bees discovered this patch of star lotus, and the next day, several of Wenwen's little bees were diligently collecting nectar above the pond.

The flowers that Li Chang'an had transformed into spirits were also nectared by them.

In addition to premium and spiritual fruits and vegetables and spiritual rice, this live stream also featured some spiritual plants.

The flowers planted in the thousand-acre flower field have all been imbued with spirits, totaling more than three million plants. Each type of flower has more than one million plants, and each ability can last for two months.

After Li Chang'an finished his introduction in the live broadcast room, the Immortal Mountain Farm software had a special section for spiritual plants. Clicking into the three functional categories revealed various spiritual plants, just like the vegetable and spiritual fruit sections. Each spiritual plant had photos taken from various angles, along with detailed text descriptions.

【Spirit Orchid - Cooling and Refrigeration】: Water-based, regulates ambient temperature, effective range: within a radius of ten meters. Duration: two months.

[Spiritual Orchid - Dehumidifying and Mold-Removing]: Fire Attribute...

Each flower is endowed with three abilities, and each has a different appearance.

The cooling orchid has a long stem with only one flower at the tip. The flower is light blue with slender petals and a graceful posture.

The dehumidifying and mildew-removing orchid is orange-red with relatively round petals, and many flowers grow on a single branch, clustered together. The noise-reducing orchid is white-yellow gradient, with the largest flowers of the three types of spiritual plants, having six petals, and only three flowers on a branch.

Besides the exquisite orchid, there are other exquisite flowers such as roses, gardenias, peonies, herbaceous peonies, and jasmine.

Each type of spiritual plant can only be purchased once, and the price is very cheap, only 9.9 yuan.

Is this price real? Is it really possible to own a spiritual plant for only 9.9 yuan?

[Oh my god, even if I only buy the cooling orchid, it'll only cost 9.9 yuan for two months, which will save me a lot on electricity! If I'm lucky enough to buy all three kinds of plants, I can have a comfortable house for only 30 yuan?]

[What beautiful flowers! Can I really only buy one? Can't they be sold by the pot? Waaaaah!]

Are there any precautions to take when growing these precious flowers after purchasing them?

"If we sell them by the pot, we won't have enough. You don't need to take special care of them. Just put them in a bottle after you receive them, or find a place to put them. If I had to say what to pay attention to, it would be that the spiritual plants will dissipate on their own after two months. Remember the time, so you don't have to look for them everywhere when that happens."

A series of "hahaha" comments immediately flooded the screen.

[By the way, is the pollen of these sacred flowers the same as that of ordinary flowers? My daughter has a slight pollen allergy, and I'm worried it might trigger an allergic reaction in her.]

Li Chang'an read the comment aloud, then looked at the green and white flower spirit.

"What is an allergy?" Green and White Flower Spirit asked, somewhat puzzled.

It was unfamiliar with the current Cangxuan Realm and did not know what kind of illness this was.

Li Chang'an thought for a moment and said, "After inhaling it, you may experience discomfort such as rashes, runny nose, and sneezing."

The green and white flower spirit understood. It shook itself and said, "No, the pollen of the spirit flower has spiritual energy. It will not harm the human body, but will actually be beneficial."

Li Chang'an then turned to look at the camera: "That's it, feel free to film."

【Very good! 】

Outside the live stream, the mother who had just sent the comment was very happy.

Because of pollen allergy, her daughter, even though she loves flowers, has never been able to touch or smell them.

If she could buy these spiritual plants, her daughter could have a close encounter with the flowers.

Hopefully she'll be lucky and manage to snag these spiritual plants!

It was almost eleven o'clock, and Li Chang'an had already introduced most of the items he was going to sell that day.

Netizens were on high alert, and just seconds after 11 o'clock, the live chat was flooded with crying emojis.

[Didn't manage to snag any spiritual plants... but another account managed to get some vegetables, not bad, hehe!]

Will there be any more spirit plants in the next live stream? Even with over a million plants, it still won't be enough to buy them all.

[There weren't many of these three types of spirit plants available this time, so many netizens probably couldn't buy them. Maybe we can sell more of these spirit plants next time?]

The rainy season is almost over, so the demand for dehumidifying and mold-removing plants might not be high. Should we cultivate some other plants? Should we cast another vote?

The online discussion was quite heated. Li Chang'an took a sip of tea, read the comments for a while, and then said:

"Since the area of ​​the spirit field is limited, I plan to change the way I sell spirit plants. I will no longer sell them during live streams. The Immortal Mountain Farm app will open a pre-sale link, and I will cultivate them according to the quantity ordered in the pre-sale."

Now, with the help of the Flower Spirits, Stone Spirits, and the Red Thorn Gang, thousands of acres of flowers can be planted at once, and the flowers will reach full bloom in five days on high-quality spiritual soil.

He broadcasts about once a week. If he only sells spiritual plants during his broadcasts, he can only do so four times a month, which is a bit inefficient.

If it's changed to a pre-sale, then six spiritual plants can be sold per month.

"I will put up a poll on Weige tonight. If you have any skills you want, you can leave a message and I will add them to the poll."

Once he confirmed that the viewers had no further questions, Li Chang'an ended the live stream.

He harvested the spiritual plants that had been transformed into spiritual beings and packed them into a courier package.

He now has six spirit boats and spirit kites, so the pressure of delivering packages isn't too great.

After dinner, Li Chang'an posted a voting link on WeDog.

This time, the same five options from the last live stream were used again. The last option is to add something, and netizens with other opinions can choose this option and fill in the desired ability so that Li Chang'an can see it in the background.

Although the first batch of spiritual plants has not yet been received and it is uncertain whether the effects of the spiritual plants are really that good, netizens are still very enthusiastic. At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Chang'an saw many messages in the voting backend.

Of course, there was also some meaningless small talk.

Li Chang'an skipped over those and compiled a list of the other abilities.

Helps with housework, purifies the air, soothes emotions, emits light, provides protection...

In addition, a very long message caught Li Chang'an's attention.

[Hello Li Chang'an, I've heard you can cultivate some spiritual plants with special abilities, and I'd like to ask for an opportunity for me. I come from a single-parent family. I'm sixteen years old and have been paralyzed in bed for some time due to a car accident. I can eat and drink without problems, but I have to rely on my mother for toileting. To take care of me, my mother stays home during the day and works the night shift, getting very little sleep and being extremely tired every day. I feel sorry for her, but I really can't do anything to help her. If there were any spiritual plants that could allow me to move around normally and take care of myself, at least she wouldn't have to worry about me being alone at home during the day, and she could find a daytime job. If this is possible, I would be extremely grateful.]

Li Chang'an stared blankly at the long message for a moment.

A moment later, he added a few new abilities to his memo.

The next day, when Li Chang'an and his group were packing and shipping the goods, Hua Ling, Shi Jing, and the Red Thorn Gang planted new flowers in the vacant thousand acres of spirit fields.

Four days later, the Xianshan Farm app was updated with a pre-sale link.

Each option in the link has a different function. Limited quantities available, first come, first served.

As for the variety and style of the flowers, it's like opening a blind box; whatever you get is what you get.

At the same time, a new real-name authentication has been added to the backend, allowing people with disability certificates to purchase spiritual plants with other abilities after authentication.

Some people registered their disability certificates immediately and then found that the pre-sale link for the spiritual plants had added several options: normal mobility, soundscape navigation, and voice transmission.

Normal mobility is designed for people who are paralyzed or have limb defects, soundscape navigation is for visually impaired people, and sound transmission is for hearing impaired people.

This authentication feature is to ensure that those who purchase these spiritual plants are genuine disabled individuals.

There are 5,000 of these three types of spiritual plants in stock. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you don't manage to buy one, don't worry, you can buy another one in five days.

The price has increased tenfold, but the duration of the ability has become five years.

The person who first noticed this stared at their phone in a daze for a long time, unable to come to their senses.

Yuanyou Province, located in the southern part of Xia Kingdom, experienced high temperatures as early as May.

Seeing that the weather forecast showed the highest temperature would be above 35 degrees Celsius for the next fifteen days, Zheng Yun clicked his tongue.

"As expected of Yuanyou Province, summer arrives faster than anywhere else."

Her roommate nodded in agreement and said, "Summer is longer than anywhere else."

In movies, summer is the taste of soda, ice cream, and watermelon; it's a symbol of freedom and vibrant life, and the beautiful chirping of cicadas accompanies you as you fall asleep.

However, in the eyes of the people of Yuanyou Province, summer is hot and humid, infested with insects, and cicadas in the trees will randomly urinate on passersby.

In short, it's just one word: annoying!

Zheng Yun collapsed onto the bed: "Why does it feel like it's getting hotter and hotter these past few years? If this continues, will our Yuanyou Province also suffer from a heatwave disaster?"

"That's absolutely incredible, with both typhoon and heatwave disasters," my roommate wholeheartedly agreed.

“And there’s an insect infestation,” another roommate added. “I saw a spider the size of my palm by the sink yesterday!”

Zheng Yun sat bolt upright in shock: "The size of a palm! No way!"

"That's an exaggeration, but it really is huge, about half the size of my palm," another roommate gestured.

Zheng Yun rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.

She is terrified of spiders. When she encounters spider monsters in video games, she is so scared that she doesn't dare to look directly at them and stays still until she is killed by the spider.

The thought that the spider might still be hiding in some corner of the dormitory made Zheng Yun restless. He quickly got up and took a few clothes from the closet.

"Are you going home again?" my roommate asked, puzzled.

"Yes, go home and hide for a few days."

Another roommate laughed and said, "I'll let you know when I get rid of that spider."

Having shared a dorm room for three years in college, they had figured out Zheng Yun's personality. They knew that Zheng Yun was most afraid of spiders, and whenever she saw a spider in the dormitory, she would pack her bags and go home overnight to avoid it.

As she spoke, Zheng Yun had already packed up her important items: "Thank you, sisters. I'll help you get rid of cockroaches next time."

Her three roommates are afraid of cockroaches, but she isn't, so the task of exterminating cockroaches is always given to her.

Zheng Yun said goodbye to her roommates, shouldered her backpack, and left the school.

She's a local, and her home is close to the school, in a nearby villa area, just a five-minute taxi ride away.

Zheng Yun held up an umbrella to shield himself from the sun and stood by the roadside waiting for a ride-hailing car.

The area around their university is very lively, with vendors often setting up stalls at the entrance, a food street across the street, and a large shopping mall on the right.

Therefore, this place is often bustling with people, and traffic jams are frequent.

The ride-hailing platform shows that the road is congested and the car will arrive in about five minutes.

Zheng Yun waited patiently, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person tapping on the ground with a stick.

She looked over and saw that the other person had one grayish-white eye, the other eye rolled upwards, and both eye sockets were somewhat sunken; he was blind.

The guide canes used by blind people are different from the common ones; they are dark brown, similar to wooden sticks, and have a few tender leaves growing on them.

Are guide canes now available in different styles?

Zheng Yun was somewhat puzzled.

As she watched the blind man approach, she suddenly noticed several electric scooters and bicycles parked on a section of the tactile paving ahead, taking up most of the sidewalk. Given the blind man's walking path, he was bound to bump into them.

Zheng Yun frowned and quickly stepped forward to remind him, "Hello..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw the blind man precisely avoid the electric scooter in front of him, walk around it, and even pick up a bottle and throw it into the trash can.

The blind man seemed to have heard Zheng Yun's voice and looked in her direction, saying, "Thank you."

Zheng Yun waved his hand: "No need, no need, I didn't help much."

Looking at the blind man, she couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Excuse me, but may I ask about your eyes..."

The blind man smiled, not only not minding, but also generously saying, "I know what you want to ask. I really am blind; I can't see with either eye."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and showed Zheng Yun the guide cane in her hand.

“But I have this. This is my guide cane. It’s a spiritual plant cultivated by Li Chang’an and has the ability to navigate by sound.”

Zheng Yun looked down and saw the leaves on the dark brown stick trembling.

The wrist of the blind man holding the guide cane was wrapped with a green vine.

“Just tap the ground lightly,” the blind man demonstrated, “and the scene within a two-meter radius will instantly appear in my mind. Although it’s not very clear, I can get a general idea of ​​what’s around me. At the same time, it will also give me a voice prompt in my mind to tell me how to get there.”

For example, right now, the sound of the guide cane tells her that there is a girl standing about a meter to her upper left. The girl is standing still and will not make any further moves, so she can safely pass in front of her.

"I can still see roughly what you look like—you're wearing a short-sleeved top, a pink tiered skirt, white shoes, and a blue phone case with a chain on it?"

Zheng Yun was shocked: "!! Yes!"

Then she exclaimed, "My goodness, this guide cane is amazing!"

The blind man nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's like giving me new eyes, allowing me to see this world."

Zheng Yun's phone rang at that moment; it was a ride-hailing driver who was already at the intersection.

She hung up the phone and said to the blind man, "I'm sorry, I was very rude just now."

“It’s alright.” The blind man shook his head. “Actually, I wish everyone I pass by would ask me, so I would have a chance to introduce my good friend to them.”

She was referring to her guide cane.

Zheng Yun couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at the blind man's smug and satisfied smile, she felt an indescribable joy.

"Thank you," Zheng Yun said. "Then I'll be going now, goodbye?"

"Goodbye." The blind man waved to her, then tapped his guide cane again and left.

Zheng Yun got into the car and gave the last four digits of his phone number.

She looked out the car window at the blind man's back and felt deeply moved.

The car quickly arrived outside the villa area.

Zheng Yun got out of the car and went home. As soon as he opened the villa door, he felt a cool breeze.

"Wow! Home is the most comfortable place!" Zheng Yun didn't think much of it, ran into the house, put down his backpack, and lay down on the sofa.

Zheng Yun's mother came over with a cup of tea, sat down next to her, and asked teasingly, "Why did you suddenly come back? Are there spiders in your dorm again?"

"Can't it just be that I miss you?" Zheng Yun snuggled into her mother's arms and acted coquettishly.

Zheng's mother smiled and poked Zheng Yun's forehead with her finger: "Stop being silly."

Zheng Yun pretended to be poked down on the sofa by a finger, then got up again, clung to her mother, and laughed, "Hehe, no one knows a daughter better than her mother!"

Mother Zheng smiled and put her arm around her daughter. Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "I recently managed to snatch some spiritual plants cultivated by Li Chang'an. Some of them are insect repellent. Why don't you take them back to your dormitory to use?"

"Spirit plants?" Zheng Yun pricked up his ears, shook his head, and said, "I'm only afraid of spiders, so I don't need to bring any spirit plants to the dormitory. Mom, I want to see the other spirit plants!"

So Zheng's mother took her for a walk around the house.

First, there's the fence outside the villa, which is covered with a wall of exquisite climbing roses. The green leaves set off the bright red flowers, forming a whole wall of flowers.

"This is a spiritual rose that can guard the house. When it arrived, there was only one stem, but after it was placed here, it quickly turned into an entire wall like this, which can protect us."

Zheng Yun exclaimed "Wow!"

Then, Zheng's mother led her to the left side of the villa building, where a wooden frame had been added to the exterior wall, with a white flower with dark green leaves lying on it.

The flower looks like a gardenia, except that the tips of the petals are a pale blue, and the leaves are also different from those of a regular gardenia.

Ms. Zheng explained, "This is a cooling gardenia that can keep the temperature in a 300-square-meter area cool. I put it here mainly to keep the garden, swimming pool, kitchen, and dining room cool, while the rest of the house uses air conditioning."

Zheng Yun stood in front of the wooden frame, took a deep breath, and the fragrance of gardenias filled his mind, seemingly able to refresh him.

The two then walked into the garden and stood in front of a rare and exquisite camellia.

This prized camellia has dark gray branches, rose-red flowers, and bowl-shaped, tightly packed petals, with only one green leaf.

“This is a spiritual camellia that can soothe emotions. Your father takes a look at it every day after he comes home from work, and I come to check on it occasionally too. Moreover, since we have this spiritual camellia, the flowers and plants in the garden have grown a bit more vigorously.”

After touring the villa, Zheng's mother led Zheng Yun into the living room and took down a rare orchid from the cabinet.

"This is a rare orchid, it's good for removing dampness and mold."

Yuanyou Province is very humid and hot, and the skin often feels sticky in the summer.

Zheng Yun suddenly realized that since returning home, she no longer felt sticky and felt refreshed.

Zheng Yun sighed, deeply enamored with the spiritual plant before him.

Then, the two went up to the second-floor terrace.

On the round table on the terrace sat a vase containing a single, deep purple flower with layers upon layers of petals—it was beautiful.

"This is a high-quality peony, used to repel insects."

Although the servants would carry out insect control every day, there were just too many insects in Yuanyou Province in the summer, and mosquitoes would always fly into the house.

"After we got this, no insects have gotten into our house, inside or out. You're so afraid of spiders, you'll never see one again."

In addition to these, there is also a bottle of jasmine placed in the master bedroom on the second floor, which can freshen the air in the 400-square-meter area.

There is also a rare azalea in the study, with its flowers facing upwards, yellow in color, and a white ring around the edge of the petals.

"This glows at night, and the light is gentle and relieves fatigue. It can protect your eyes whether you use it at night or keep it next to your computer."

After Zheng's mother finished her introduction, she took Zheng Yun back downstairs to the living room to sit.

She had a maid wash a plate of spirit fruits and said, "I'm saving all the spirit fruits we managed to snatch for you, thinking we could eat them together when you come back this weekend."

"I've also saved vegetables and spirit rice for you."

"Waaah, Mom, you're so good to me." Zheng Yun's eyes reddened, and she hugged her mother tightly once again.

With a better environment and delicious vegetables and fruits, this kind of life is really great!

Author's Note: I just realized that a section was missing when I copied it from the word processing software, so I've added it now.
