Chapter 43: Chapter 41: Six Hundred Spirit Stones!
Yang Genshuo visited Cheng Bo’s laboratory again.
It was daytime when he arrived this time, and Cheng Bo clearly appeared much more reserved.
After fitting him with protective gear, he had to sign a few more documents before being allowed into the laboratory.
“What’s up, master Dao, why are you being so professional today?”
“Can’t you see all these colleagues outside? There are also a few professors who have joint projects. The thing you’re dealing with… it’s all hush-hush; I have to be cautious.”
Despite Cheng Bo’s easygoing exterior, indifferent to good or bad taste, he was meticulous in his field and took confidentiality seriously.
“Come, take a look at this first generation of new hybrid rice. To be honest, I didn’t expect to get it done so quickly, less than 10 days in total… It’s mainly because the original soil you brought back is just too miraculous, the growth speed is extremely fast!”
It had to be miraculous, as before he collected the spiritual soil, he specifically caused a rain of spiritual energy to thoroughly soak it, reaching a concentration of 2 points.
Yang Genshuo could see the young sprouts of the hybrid spirit rice seeds in each small petri dish, showing off their vigorous life force.
“Great, great! Master Dao, what are the features of this first generation of new hybrid rice?”
Cheng Bo touched his nose bridge.
“I crossed these seeds with high-yield, fertile rice seeds. Theoretically speaking… the production should at least double.”
“Taking care of this first generation of new hybrid rice, you have to use about 50% more fertilizer than before to protect the soil from losing nutrients, otherwise the land will be ruined after two years of planting.”
Yang Genshuo took a small bag of seeds.
“Okay, I got it. I’ll take it back and give it a try. Help me cross those new wheat seeds with the high-yield ones, too.”
Cheng Bo helplessly shook his head: “I’ll do my best, but in crossing wheat… our ceiling is not as high as with crossing rice. Be prepared for that.”
“By the way, if possible, for the next year, it would be best to let me record the data on planting, growth, and harvesting on-site, as it would help improve the second-generation rice.”
Yang Genshuo: “It might not be convenient, but I’ll tell you about their performance.”
One day in reality could pass as a year in the game, from sowing to harvest.
“Alright then… When the lab is empty at night, I’ll work overtime on cultivating the crossed wheat. Oh, and that soil, it would be best if you could get me more, I’ve observed special radiation slowly dissipating from it…”
“No problem!”
What Yang Genshuo appreciated most was Master Dao’s professional spirit, but looking around the lab environment, he frowned.
‘The security is too lax… And there’s the influence of other projects and colleagues… It would be nice to have my own lab…’
He only thought about it and didn’t voice it for the time being.
You have to eat one bite at a time; right now, he wasn’t keen on making such a boundless request directly to his brother.
Back home, Yang Genshuo looked at the screen showing the world of immortal cultivation.
“My three days here passed in the blink of an eye, but it’s already been three years in the game…”
Changes were indeed significant, though not to the point of being unrecognizable.
Overall, these years were a stable development period for the Yang Family. Yang Genshuo skimmed through the major events that had happened over these three years…
[In the seventh year, Yang Shi made a breakthrough in body refining to the ninth layer, full of qi! Jiang Xiaobai reached the fifth layer of fetal breathing! At the opening of Qingshi Fang City, Yang Shi asked Bai Heyu to take away 120 packs of grain avoidance cakes, inquiring if they could become a spiritual food supplier for Xuanbao Town…]
[Offering 1000 catties of Spiritual Grain, received several kinds of fine desserts as a reward.]
[In the eighth year, Bai Heyu brought good news; after tasting sessions, Xuanbao Town agreed to trial include ‘grain avoidance cakes’ in their products, offering a supply price of 1 spirit stone for 5 packs. After negotiation, they settled on an initial purchase of 3000 packs for the next year.]
[Gained 40 low-grade spirit stones, Yang Shi exchanged them for 800 catties of Spiritual Grain at the workshop with guidance from the Ancestral Master.]
[Offering 1800 catties of Spiritual Grain, rewarded with 3000 packs of grain avoidance cakes.]
[In the ninth year, Hu Zi’s talent ‘Moderate Success in a Minor Art’ manifested, he grew rapidly, possessing immense strength, and made a breakthrough to the ninth layer of body refining, directly challenging Yang Shi! Jiang Xiaobai reached the sixth layer of fetal breathing! The spirit beast, Little Fire, also reached the sixth layer of fetal breathing.]
[When Bai Heyu came again, he exchanged 600 low-grade spirit stones for 3,000 grain avoidance cakes from the Yang Family. Yang Shi gave him a red envelope containing 100 low-grade spirit stones. Bai Heyu smiled and declined, stating that he didn’t lack such a small amount of spirit stones.]
[Acquired 600 low-grade spirit stones.]
In these three years, the overall strength of the Yang family members had steadily increased, and they had successfully supplied spiritual food grain avoidance cakes to the Xuan Stone Sect, earning their first pot of gold.
Yang Genshuo also reached a long-term agreement with the Hongfeng Food Factory, and the production line started operating every day. From then on, fresh grain avoidance cakes would be delivered daily.
The time had now come near the end of the Qingshi Fang City event.
Yang Genshuo manifested.
“Buy all the Spiritual Grain from the Loose Cultivation Market!”
The current production of grain avoidance cakes was still too low!
The production capacity of the Hongfeng Food Factory’s production line had a big gap, and supplying 3,000 packs of grain avoidance cakes a year… for such a large Xuan Stone Sect, it was far from enough.
As long as they accepted this product, increasing the annual order by 10 times would not be a problem.
After all, this product was a cheap and filling immortal cultivation ration, a high-frequency consumable.
Especially this year, Bai Heyu’s words made Yang Genshuo even more certain that this product had great potential!
“These grain avoidance cakes are not only needed by those in closed cultivation but are even more important for us inner sect disciples who often leave the sect to carry out missions. Going out for several months without knowing what environment we’ll face, having spiritual food that you can eat the moment you open the bag… is very, very important!”
“A fasting pill sells for 2 low-grade spirit stones each. Going on a mission, you could consume spirit stones worth dozens of units, and many thrifty disciples choose to cook their own food in the wild.”
Emergency rations for wilderness adventures!
This market was much larger than that for closed cultivation rations, and once it was recognized by the market, it meant an endless stream of orders.
Just mindlessly increasing the production was the way to go for now, and even if it didn’t sell right away, this product could be stored for several years without going bad, which was sufficient for sale purposes.
Yang Shi received the order to sweep the goods, but unfortunately… he didn’t spend all 600 low-grade spirit stones.
After sweeping over 500 loose cultivator stalls of Spiritual Grain, he only collected less than 2,000 catties.
He only spent 100 low-grade spirit stones.
“This… is still not enough.”
But it was inherent that loose cultivators were unstable; few had their own spirit fields, and even if they did plant some, they would keep enough for themselves before selling any surplus, which meant the quantity was very limited.
“Including about 1,000 catties of Spiritual Grain from our production this year, we have a total of 3,000 catties, which can make 9,000 grain avoidance cakes.”
“Today, with the hybrid Spirit Rice seeds, we can reduce the planting of one mu of Spirit Rice and replace it with Spiritual Grain, which will increase the yield by about 500 catties next year.”
“The amount purchased from loose cultivators is still too little. We still need to cultivate more spirit fields ourselves.”
Jiang Xiaobai’s strength had broken through to the sixth layer of the Fetal Breathing stage, and he was now more than capable of managing 4 mu of spirit fields.
Apart from the spirit fields, there was one mystery that Yang Genshuo couldn’t solve… it had been three years, and there had been no movement in Jiang Xiaobai’s belly?
He would look at her belly occasionally, and the frequency wasn’t low…
Moreover, with the aid of modern science, Yang Shi was precise in targeting the fertile periods.
“Strange… could the legendary rule be true?”
“The best method of contraception is… to prepare for pregnancy?”
But there was no use for Yang Genshuo to be anxious about this; he could only let nature take its course.
Little Yang Fu was 3 years old and had already started reading and recognizing characters. He was extremely clever and the darling of everyone in the Yang family.
After Yang Shi finished sweeping the goods, while wandering through the workshop, he accidentally discovered a rare second-grade elixir.
The Dragon Tiger Golden Pill.
