Chapter 68 The Reward for Effort
“Say yes. Qingqing trusts us, but he doesn’t. If you don’t say yes…” He took a deep breath.
"Could someone who can rise to third place in the Royal Guard really be some kind of saint?"
The other two, of course, understood this principle as well.
They could actually take this secret and make a deal with someone who was interested, but although they had their own ulterior motives, they weren't the kind of people who disregarded feelings and loyalty.
Yang Dong put his arm around his shoulder and said, "This might be an opportunity."
"Opportunity! I've long since given up on that hope, but being closer is a good consolation."
After making their decision, the three of them quickly contacted Chen Xingheng to confirm the matter, and Chen Xingheng was naturally satisfied with their choice.
For the next few days, Gu Qing was in a long-distance relationship, communicating and video chatting without fail, and spending the rest of her time upgrading her skills. On the 7th day, the autumn fruit ripened.
With excitement, Gu Qing put on her gear and gloves to pick the autumn berries. Worried about picking them incorrectly, she even watched some online tutorial videos beforehand.
After confirming that she had memorized all the steps, Gu Qing summoned the little cloud and performed a final purification, then took out the energy box and placed it aside.
The gloves were specially made so that the thorns on the jujube tree wouldn't hurt her.
Second-grade Qiuling fruit is not rare, at least not for people like them, but it is very rare for ordinary people.
Gu Qing cherishes it so much mainly because it was planted by herself; the previous plots were all planted with level one energy plants.
Ordinary people at level one can also grow them, as long as they install a purification device and drive it with crystal cores, although the energy plants obtained are of lower quality.
But most people can't afford this kind of food.
Level 2 cultivators don't necessarily need a Purifier, but those are usually built by governments or large clans.
These planting sheds are expensive to build and maintain, and the energy plants they produce cannot compare to those grown by purifiers. However, they are still good for everyday use or as a reward for those below.
High-quality energy foods like these are cultivated for purification. The high price is secondary; they are generally not sold in the market. Gu Qing's cultivation is usually kept for her own consumption or used as an additive in the refinement of elixirs.
Gu Qing held the fruit in one hand and cut it with scissors in the other. Then she put the fruit into the energy box and took out the instrument to test it.
(Drip, high-quality, pure autumn jujubes, edible.)
Gu Qing smiled. It was indeed of pure quality, without a trace of contamination. It was worth the effort of purifying it at her low level, equivalent to three meals a day.
It's important to understand that purifying these planted energy plants isn't as fast as purifying crystal cores to increase purification capabilities; otherwise, she would have upgraded long ago if she had to upgrade all at once.
The subsequent harvesting went much more smoothly. There were only two fruits, one with a two-point contamination and the other with a five-point contamination; the rest were all pure fruits.
Although she wasn't perfect, she felt amazing.
Her farming methods have been upgraded! Upgraded! Upgraded!
Name: Gu Qing (顾晴晴)
Age: 18 (120)
[Talent: Purify the Clouds]
[Talent: Fire Control 8%]
[Skill: Purify E-grade level 79.6%]
[Skill: Planting Tier 2, 4%]
[Skill: Alchemy Tier 1, 25.4%]
[Upgrading your planting skill to level two will increase the maturity time of your planted items by 10% and the harvest by 5%.]
Uncontrollable screams escaped her lips as Gu Qing jumped and bounced around. She had said it before: hard work pays off, and that's the best reward in the world.
Overwhelmed with excitement, I didn't feel tired and turned over both plots of land. I added some nutrient soil, sprinkled some pesticides, and waited 24 hours before replanting.
This time, she was going to plant the Purple Crystal Fruit. She had wanted to plant it after advancing in rank, but she was afraid that she would push herself too hard and waste such a good seed.
The Purple Crystal Fruit has a high survival rate and low planting requirements. It grows somewhat like a shrub, just a clump of shrubs. It's hard to say how many of them are actually purification fruits.
This seems to be completely random. If you're lucky, you can get about a dozen or so from it, but if you're unlucky, you might only get one or two.
Don't pay too much attention to the early stages when it just sprouts. Take advantage of this time to harvest two kinds of medicinal herbs. After harvesting the medicinal herbs, you can better take care of the amethyst fruit.
These two plots of land should still be planted with easy-to-care-for small green vegetables.
After arranging and recording everything, Gu Qing stood up, turned around, and left the planting shed, just about to return to the house.
