Chapter 497 The Changing World
Meng Qingyin stood up excitedly, "Then can the bellflower also absorb pure demonic energy?"
Ye Yingjun didn't understand why she seemed so excited, so he nodded and said, "Yes, bellflowers can absorb pure demonic energy, and because its growth cycle is only a few days, it absorbs demonic energy very quickly."
Meng Qingyin: "Does the demonic energy absorbed by the bellflower transform into its own nourishment, or does it continue to exist in its body in the form of demonic energy?"
Ye Yingjun opened his eyes wide, puzzled, and asked, "What does this mean? I don't understand."
Meng Qingyin rephrased it: "I'm asking you, can the pure demonic energy absorbed by the bellflower still be released?"
Ye Yingjun understood. "Of course it's possible, otherwise our Night Demon clan wouldn't be able to draw demonic energy from plants."
The Night Demons cannot directly absorb demonic energy; plants are the medium through which they absorb it.
Meng Qingyin revealed her plan: "I want to plant bellflowers here, and then transfer the pure demonic energy absorbed by the bellflowers to the Three-Pointed Blade."
I feel like this would be faster than absorbing pure demonic energy from demonic equipment.
After all, the drop rate of demonic energy resources is very low now. If we can cultivate bellflowers on a large scale, the effect will definitely be stronger than that of demonic energy resources. Didn't Ye Yingjun say that the growth cycle of bellflowers is only a few days? We should be able to cultivate a batch of bellflowers soon.
Ye Yingjun was thrilled. "Planting bellflowers here? That would be like returning to Night Orchid Star. Just thinking about it makes me excited!"
Suddenly, he frowned. "But this seed has been with me for hundreds of years. Can it still be planted?"
Meng Qingyin: "Whether the seeds are still viable or not, I'll have someone test them to find out."
Ye Yingjun: "Who?"
“I’ll introduce you two another day,” Meng Qingyin said, reaching out her hand. “Give me the bellflower seeds first, and I’ll go back and have her identify them.”
Ye Yingjun obediently handed her the seeds, his face full of hope, "Please!"
Meng Qingyin returned to the train with the bellflower seeds and went straight to the planting room.
Qingfeng was carefully watering the Fortune Fruit. Seeing this, Meng Qingyin remembered the long message Qingfeng had sent her about how to grow the Fortune Fruit.
The cultivation of the Fortune Fruit was so meticulous that she didn't speak rashly, for fear of startling Qingfeng who was completely focused. So she stood at the door and waited for Qingfeng to finish watering and put down the watering can before saying, "Qingfeng, I have a plant seed here. Could you help me check if it's still viable?"
"Okay." Qingfeng wiped her hands and took the seed from Meng Qingyin's hand. The seed was about the size of a peanut, oval-shaped, and had a brownish-brown outer skin. She asked curiously, "What kind of plant seed is this? This is the first time I've ever seen one."
Meng Qingyin explained in detail: "The bellflower is a plant that grows on the planet Night Orchid."
Qingfeng had never heard of Night Orchid Star. "Isn't it a plant from our area? Then I might have to spend more time determining whether it's viable."
Meng Qingyin: "Okay, no rush, take your time to check—is the Fortune Fruit almost ripe?"
“Yes, it will be ready for harvest in another two or three days,” Qingfeng said with a smile. “I’m really looking forward to the blessing effect of the Fortune Fruit.”
Meng Qingyin also remembered that the Fortune Fruit could bestow blessings upon the user and increase their benefits.
Crops harvested by Yuanbao have a high chance of undergoing mutations.
With such a dual effect, what will the final result of the Fortune Fruit be? Meng Qingyin was also looking forward to it.
...
At noon, Qin Feng returned, and Meng Qingyin helped her carry a lot of forging tools back from somewhere.
Qin Feng was very satisfied with the newly set-up forging room; she could now focus on forging equipment.
In the evening, Qingfeng came out of the planting room and said to Meng Qingyin with some regret, "This bellflower seed has lost its activity and can no longer be planted."
Meng Qingyin was greatly disappointed, but she had no choice but to accept this reality.
It seems her plan to cultivate three-edged swords using bellflowers has fallen through.
Moreover, thinking of Ye Yingjun's expectant look, she didn't know how to bring it up with him later.
But no matter how hard it was to say it, Meng Qingyin had to say it, and she arrived at the Tower of Babel.
Ye Yingjun swept over like a gust of wind: "Sir, can bellflower seeds still be planted?"
Meng Qingyin hardened her heart and said, "The seeds are no longer viable. You should keep them as a souvenir."
The light in Ye Yingjun's eyes immediately went out. "I see... Actually, I wasn't really looking forward to it. If we can't plant it, so be it." He then comforted Meng Qingyin, "Don't be disappointed, my lady. When I return to Yelan Star, I can find as many bellflowers as you want."
Meng Qingyin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to return to Night Orchid Star."
Although Ye Yingjun never said it, she knew that he must be missing his hometown.
Is there no other way to break the seal on the Red Fox King?
Meng Qingyin's bad mood didn't last long; after receiving the Immaculate Stone, these negative emotions were immediately swept away.
The flawless stone is a pure white color with a smooth texture and no impurities. Each stone is about the size of a pigeon egg.
There were 30 such flawless stones, far fewer than she had expected, indicating that the flawless ore contained too many impurities.
Metallurgist Ishino: "You've received the Immaculate Stone, right? There's something I need to explain to you. The yield of this ore is much lower than I expected. The reason is that the outermost part of the ore is severely eroded, making it almost impossible to smelt Immaculate Stone. Only a small portion of the inner part is intact and can be smelted into Immaculate Stone, so the yield is very low."
Mengmeng: "The outermost layer has been eroded? But the dirt and ore are in the underground mine, what eroded them?"
Metallurgist Ishino: "It should be seawater."
Meng Qingyin was surprised. Seawater?
This is a wasteland, so where does the seawater come from?
Metallurgist Ishino: "The outermost layer of the ore has many tiny traces of being washed by water, and a small amount of sea salt is also precipitated during the ore smelting process, so I speculate that the ore was eroded by seawater."
This speculation was reasonable and well-founded, and Meng Qingyin had no reason not to believe it.
It's not impossible for oceans to become land during long geological processes.
However, if you put it that way, is the Immaculate Ore actually a type of mineral that exists on the seabed?
Over time, the ocean gradually transformed into land, and the pristine mineral was discovered.
Meng Qingyin snapped out of her thoughts and sent all 30 Immaculate Stones to Fei Qiu.
