Cao Xing thought to himself, "Because four seeds were planted together, did they share the vitality of the heart of the human-faced tree?"
He soon understood why.
Then, he took out the second Life Tree Heart from his backpack and gently broke it.
"bite!"
Pure life force flows into the soil again.
The half-grown seedlings began to grow rapidly again.
And because they were magical plant seeds, they were ripened by the heart of the tree of life and directly skipped the seedling raising process and entered the flowering period in the blink of an eye.
The green husks wrap around the rice, and even before they are fully grown, you can feel the fullness of the grains.
According to common sense, the next step is for the rice to mature and gradually turn golden yellow.
However, at this time, Hanlu rice seemed to begin to evolve in another direction.
Its shell gradually turned white.
At the same time, a slight mist is emitted.
In the blink of an eye, four white rice plants, full of grains and emitting a faint chill, had finished growing.
From planting a seed to fully growing it,
It took less than a minute.
Including the tree spirit sisters, they squatted nearby, watching everything in front of them with delighted expressions.
"The growth process of plants is truly amazing..."
"Yeah yeah!"
Cao Xing roughly determined the growth cycle of [Hanlu Rice] through the growth just now.
From planting seeds to harvesting rice, the growth cycle is about half a year.
After being accelerated by the White Trees and Fertile Farmland, the time was shortened to more than three months.
This speed is still very fast.
"Not bad, not bad."
Cao Xing picked the four rice plants.
【Obtained: Cold Dew Rice (Green)*1432】
…
"That's right. According to this ratio, when the seeds of four Hanlu rice plants mature, each plant can produce more than 300 grains of rice on average."
"These rice grains contain some seeds that can be planted. After selection and cultivation, they can become a new round of high-quality seeds."
"Once the first round of Cold Dew rice has grown, I can expand the farm and start mass planting."
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
Look at the attributes.
【Cold Dew Rice (Green)】
[Effect: After consumption, you can restore more satiety. Long-term consumption can increase your physical fitness (up to 20 points of physical fitness). ]
(Note: A kind of rice with a sweet taste, and also a high-quality material for brewing rice wine.)
…
Then, he put another one into his mouth and indeed tasted a hint of sweetness.
Very faint, but just right.
"nice."
Cao Xing called Dahua over again.
The woman came up to them, bowed respectfully and said, "My Lord, I wish you the best."
She bowed slightly to the tree spirit sisters, and the two women returned the gesture.
In Cao Xing's territory, Neve and Juliette's status is higher than those staff members, after all, they are special talents.
They also knew how much the lord valued these two tree elves.
Therefore, when the staff see those combat personnel and technical talents, they will salute to show their respect.
However, because the scale of Cao Xing's territory is not very large and personnel management is not that complicated, he has not yet formulated some management systems.
But these will definitely have to be done in the future.
After all, Cao Xing wanted to expand his territory into a huge city in the future.
With a large number of employees, we definitely need a complete management system, military system, and reward system.
And this also requires a lot of talents to improve these systems.
Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Cao Xing handed the two bags in his hand to her.
"Dahua, these two crops are very important to our territory. You can take people to plant them in the next two days."
The citizen Dahua took it carefully and said respectfully, "As you command, Lord."
"I will take good care of them."
After giving instructions to Dahua, Cao Xing took Juliette and Neve back to the back garden area.
He also has three more important seeds in his backpack.
They are [Icethorn Bindweed Seed (Blue)], [Golden Sunflower Seed (Gold)], and [Twilight Vine Seed (Gold)].
But don't worry about the other two.
This time, Cao Xing is mainly preparing to cultivate a batch of golden sunflowers.
Then he took out the small wooden box from his backpack.
After opening it, a golden melon seed was quietly placed on it.
Juliette looked at what was in Cao Xing's hand, with a hint of anger in her eyes.
"This is a seed I have never seen before... I sense an ancient aura on it."
Cao Xing nodded secretly.
This seed is indeed very old.
He explained: "This seed is called the golden sunflower. It can grow something special and needs to be planted first."
"We should be able to grow these seeds in our territory, right?"
Juliette nodded her head. "No problem, my lord."
"Very good. Please plant them."
After listening to this, Juliette took the golden seed from Cao Xing's hand.
Then he bent down and began to dig up the soil around the pale tree with a shovel.
And Cao Xing stood in front of her and inevitably saw the large area of white and tall grass.
I have to say, Juliette's shape is really perfect.
Every angle of her body can only be described as exquisite.
Cao Xing compared her to a figurine-like girl, and he was absolutely right.
"rustle……"
Soon, the soil was shoveled away.
Cao Xing's sight also withdrew from the vast expanse of white.
Then he watched Juliette's movements intently.
She did not sow the seeds immediately, but asked Neve to get a bucket of cold spiritual water and sprinkle it on the soil to moisten it.
Then he carefully took down the golden sunflower and refilled the soil.
Juliette raised her head and said with a serene smile, "My Lord, the crops have been planted."
Cao Xing nodded and started calculating in his mind.
"According to the system, it takes six years for a golden sunflower seed to grow, plus an additional two years, for a total of eight years."
"After being accelerated by the Pale Tree, it was about five years."
"And each plant can only consume three acceleration items of the same grade."
"Three green life tree hearts can conservatively estimate that they can speed up time by at least two years."
"That is to say, I need three green ones, plus one or two blue-quality life tree hearts, to ripen a golden sunflower!"
Cao Xing secretly glanced at his backpack.
【Ice Crystal Man-faced Tree Heart (Green)】*478
[Human-faced tree guarding the heart of the tree (blue)] *54
[Human-faced tree elder tree heart (purple)] *8
…
"Good man, with so many tree cores, I can ripen at least forty golden sunflowers."
"That means I can get at least a few hundred gold coins?"
Cao Xing couldn't help but be shocked by the number he calculated.
After all, that was not an ordinary gold coin, but an ancient gold coin!
Able to exchange for out-of-print ancient treasure chests.
Of course, he certainly couldn't consume all the human-faced tree hearts.
If you encounter other magical plant seeds in the future, it will be a big loss if you don’t have something to accelerate them.
Therefore, Cao Xing decided to speed up 10 [Golden Sunflowers] to test the waters.
But for now he only has a seed, and he needs to proceed step by step and cultivate a batch of seeds first.
So, Cao Xing started to act according to his plan and first took out three green human-faced tree hearts.
Then break it gently.
“Ding! Ding ding!”
The pure life force contained in the green agate flowed into the soil where the seeds were buried.
That piece of land began to move.
“Rustle… rustle…”
After a slight ringing sound.
A young green seedling emerged from the soil.
And soon it began to rise rapidly and entered a period of growth.
Then, green buds appeared, and there was even a small bud on the top.
Cao Xing was so excited that he couldn't help rubbing his hands.
Because the next step is the flowering stage.
But by this time, the green plant had stopped growing.
Cao Xing knew that the vitality contained in the hearts of the three life trees had been consumed.
He was not surprised and took out another blue quality heart of life.
The sunflower began to grow again, but it did not reach the final stage.
Cao Xing thought to himself, "Do you still need a blue-grade Life Tree Heart?"
No hesitation.
When the fifth heart of life was broken.
As expected.
This sunflower has entered its final stage.
The buds at the top begin to turn golden yellow.
Moreover, it is not just an ordinary color change, but the petals, disc, and sepals all evolve towards golden yellow.
Gradually, even the flower stems turned pure gold.
It even began to radiate a divine light.
Cao Xing was surprised and said, "Good guy, it is worthy of being called the Golden Sunflower. This thing is really beautiful."
“It’s almost like a work of art.”
However, this golden sunflower is different from ordinary sunflowers.
In the center of the flower plate, Cao Xing saw a number of ancient gold coins inlaid in it.
Cao Xing counted them.
"One, two... 10!"
"There are so many?"
Obviously, Cao Xing's good luck has exploded.
After all, according to the system's introduction, each golden sunflower can only produce 7 to 10 gold coins, and this one is fully loaded.
"But how can I get these gold coins out?"
"Pick it directly?"
Cao Xing thought for a moment and decided to give it a try.
He held the flower tray carefully and picked out all the ancient coins and seeds inside.
[Obtained: Gold Coin*10]
[Obtained: Golden Sunflower Seeds*3]
…
"Is that so? That's pretty simple."
Cao Xing was delighted.
The golden sunflower, whose gold coins and seeds had been taken away, seemed to have not changed at all.
However, the empty areas in the center of the flower disk gradually closed up.
Cao Xing didn't know what to do with the remaining golden sunflowers, so he just left them there for now.
After all, it is quite beautiful. It would be nice to get a few flower pots and transplant them for viewing in the future.
Juliette said softly, "This golden sunflower has an ancient sacred aura. It should also be some kind of alchemical material."
After hearing this, Cao Xing nodded suddenly.
In this case, the role of golden sunflower is still quite significant.
So he gave the other three seeds to Juliette and asked her to plant them.
After re-burying the soil.
Cao Xing followed suit.
For each seed, three green human-faced tree hearts and two blue-grade human-faced tree hearts are put into it.
“Rustle… rustle…”
The sounds of breaking ground were heard one after another.
The golden sunflower originally took eight years to grow.
In just three minutes, all the growth was completed.
Cao Xing took a look and found that the growth of these three sunflowers was also very good.
Inside each flower bud, there are at least eight or nine ancient gold coins and three or four seeds.
He also stepped forward and took out the gold coins and seeds one by one.
[Obtained: Gold Coins*26]
[Obtain: Golden Sunflower Seeds*10]
…
A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips again.
"Very good! The number of gold coins has exceeded 60. I only need the last 40 to exchange for the ancient gold treasure chest!"
You know, this kind of ancient golden treasure chest is not like an ordinary golden treasure chest.
In it, you can obtain some extinct recipes, secret medicines, and even equipment...
The recipe that was opened last time brought Cao Xing a lot of profits.
With anticipation, Cao Xing distributed 10 new [Golden Sunflower Seeds].
The three of them worked together to farm, and their efficiency was greatly increased.
Then continue to use the human-faced tree heart to accelerate.
Five minutes later.
Then, 10 golden sunflowers emitting golden light were grown.
Including the first four, there are a total of 14 golden sunflowers growing side by side, which looks particularly beautiful.
Cao Xing quickly took out all the seeds and coins inside.
[Obtained: Gold Coin*87]
[Obtain: Golden Sunflower Seeds (Gold)*27]
…
Cao Xing was immediately delighted, "Great, I finally have 100!"
The next step is naturally to redeem it!
A system prompt appears.
[Do you want to use 100 gold coins to exchange for 1 ancient gold treasure chest? ]
Without any hesitation, he just nodded "yes"!
The next moment, a hexagram array appeared again in front of the three people.
“Buzz!”
Bursts of intense light emanated from the hexagram array.
In it, the three of them once again felt an ancient breath.
It was like seeing an abandoned city, with collapsed walls everywhere and a desolate feeling of ruins and broken walls...
A moment later, a golden treasure chest that had been sealed in an alien space for who knows how many years appeared in front of Cao Xing.
The appearance of this ancient golden treasure chest is somewhat different from the one they opened now, and it also has some incomprehensible patterns engraved on it.
Cao Xing didn't think much about it and took a step forward.
[Found an unlocked ancient golden treasure chest, do you want to open it? ]
"yes."
【Opened successfully. 】
[Obtained: Ancient Weapon·Primitive Cube (Gold)]
[Obtained: Mithril*37]
[Obtain: Shotgun Ammunition*37]
[Obtained: Large resource pack * 5]
[Obtained: Corrupted Magic Seeds*17]
…
"Oh? Another ancient weapon."
"What is this primitive cube?"
A strange object suddenly appeared in Cao Xing's hand.
It looks like a small black box, or a Rubik's Cube, and its surface is as deep and dark as the starry sky.
Staring at it for a long time, it feels like you are being sucked in.
Look at the attributes.
[Ancient Weapon·Primitive Cube (Gold)]
[Equipment part: Special equipment]
[Unique special effect: After use, a simulated black hole is created in the area 200 meters ahead, forcibly sucking all enemies within a 100-meter radius toward the center. Lasts for 10 seconds, cooldown time 200 seconds]
(Gear Introduction: Due to a failed experiment, all personnel in the Napui Laboratory disappeared, including the laboratory and the surrounding mountains. When we arrived, there was only a black metal box left...
Later, by studying the power of this box, we developed a replica, the original cube - Investigator: Perrine Abate)
…
After seeing the above attributes, Cao Xing's pupils shrank.
"Shit! A simulated black hole? It will directly absorb enemies within 100 meters!"
"This is too perverted!"
Obviously, the special effects on this mysterious box are very powerful.
Gather monsters and control them into one, with a large range.
And it lasts up to 10 seconds.
During this period of time, Cao Xing has enough time to use all his skills!
"Not bad, not bad, it's worthy of being an ancient golden treasure chest!"
"I didn't expect to get such a magical weapon right away!"
Cao Xing even wanted to open another one on the spot to play with.
However, he looked at the number of gold coins in his backpack.
There are 47 left, which are not enough to exchange for new golden chests.
Therefore, Cao Xing simply distributed all the remaining 27 seeds.
The three of them began to divide the work and cooperate again.
Two beautiful Dryads bent over and worked.
Inevitably, a large area of white grease appears on the chest.
As the saying goes, a pair of round and smooth pearls, a pair of half-buckled jade bowls.
The two sisters have their own beauty.
While Cao Xing was farming, he was feasting his eyes.
A few minutes later.
All 27 seeds were planted.
Then Cao Xing took out a large number of human-faced tree hearts from his backpack.
The familiar sound of breaking ground was heard.
In less than three minutes, all 27 golden sunflowers had grown.
Cao Xing also stepped forward and placed golden coins and golden sunflower seeds.
Picked out from the flower buds.
[Obtained: Gold Coin*216]
[Obtain: Golden Sunflower Seeds (Gold) *54]
…
"Haha, there are more than 200 of them. I can open two more ancient gold treasure chests!"
Cao Xing was extremely surprised.
I have to say, we still have to farm.
If possible, Cao Xing even wanted to plant hundreds of golden sunflowers on the spot.
You can become rich just by opening these golden treasure chests!
But unfortunately, the remaining human-faced tree hearts are not enough to support his next round of sowing.
But that's okay.
At least, he has harvested more than fifty golden sunflower seeds.
You know, according to Marita's price, the value of a seed is 1.5 million crowns,
And Cao Xing has more than fifty of them, worth tens of millions of kronor!
"Tsk, these people are so kind-hearted, it's really worth it!"
"It's a pity that I can't go to the Witch Forest in the near future. Otherwise, I could kill all the Human-Faced Trees there and get a lot of Human-Faced Tree Hearts."
The incident when Cao Xing killed the red-robed bishop has not yet passed.
So proceed with caution now.
With excitement, Cao Xing started the exchange.
[Do you want to consume 200 gold coins to exchange for 2 ancient gold treasure chests? ]
"yes!"
This time, two hexagram arrays appeared in front of Cao Xing at the same time.
“Buzz! Buzz!”
A flash of golden light.
Then, two golden treasure chests engraved with intricate patterns suddenly appeared.
[Found unlocked ancient golden treasure chest*2, do you want to open it? 】
"yes!"
【Open successfully】
[Obtain: Advanced Improved Life Secret Formula *1]
[Award: Ancient Weapon: Great Hunter's Tricorn Hat (Gold)*1]
[Obtained: Advanced Magic Crystal*12]
[Obtained: 12.7mm bullets*327 pieces]
【Obtained: Large resource pack*8】
[Obtained: Rotten Beast Meat*47]
…
"Oh my god! Advanced and improved version of the secret formula of life medicine!"
“I was actually able to drive out! Haha!”
Cao Xing was immediately excited.
The intermediate improved version of the life secret recipe that was opened last time has properties that are much stronger than ordinary life secrets!
And now, he opened another advanced one, which is also an improved version!
It goes without saying that the drug made with this formula must be more powerful!
I couldn't wait to take a look at the attributes.
[Advanced and Improved Life Secret Formula]
[Drawing introduction: This drawing can be used to create an improved version of the Secret of Life (large)]
[Effect: After taking it, you can instantly recover 8000 health points, and recover 6000 health points in the next 30 seconds. The cooldown time is 60 seconds.]
[Materials required for production: Advanced Alchemy Workshop, Glass Bottle*1, Dragon Blood Grass*1, Ice Dragon Petals*5, Extreme Ice Water*200ml. ]
(The formula of the life secret medicine, which was carefully improved by a master alchemist, has now disappeared from the mainland.)
…
"8,000 HP is instantly restored, and another 6,000 in 30 seconds, which adds up to 14,000 HP!"
"How terrifying! It's indeed an improved version!"
And the key is that the last part, "Restore 6000 health points within 30 seconds", can also be blessed by the [Eternal Power] talent.
This is equivalent to increasing Cao Xing's survivability in disguise.
However, the cost of making such a high-end secret medicine is also very high.
At least Cao Xing had never heard of the [Dragon Blood Grass] and [Ice Water] required for the above.
But if he could find all these materials, it would bring him almost terrifying profits.
Because the secret medicine produced by this recipe will definitely cause a scramble among the survivors!
With a look of joy, Cao Xing took out another trophy from his backpack.
This is a white hat, made of leather from some unknown creature, and there are faint fluctuations of energy coming from it.
Look at the attributes.
[Ancient Weapon: Great Hunter's Tricorn Hat (Gold)]
【Quality: rare】
[Equipment Level: Level 40]
[Armor: 75~81]
[Attached special effect ①: Agility +80, Hit rate +20%]
[Attached special effect ②: illustrious hunter (when attacking the enemy's head, an additional 20% damage is caused)]
[Additional Effect ③: Execution Hunter (Each attack will accumulate energy. When the accumulated energy points reach 10, the damage of the next attack will increase by 100%)]
(Gear introduction: There is a legend circulating in the old continent. When you see a female hunter with a tricorn hat, a hunting rifle on her back, and a devilish figure, remember to protect your head...)
…
"What powerful equipment!"
Cao Xing exclaimed: "This hat can be used by anyone."
"The last special effect, if executed well, will greatly increase the damage."
"For example, my Thousand Miles of Ice, Asam's Sword of Divine Light, etc...."
