After the water droplet fell into the soil, it was quickly absorbed by the soft soil. Next, it should be completely absorbed by these greedy plants. He wondered if it would have the effect of spiritual energy.
Li Yuanqing had seen with his own eyes that these plants had grown an inch after drinking the liquid condensed from a drop of spiritual energy.
He squatted quietly beside the medicinal field and waited. At this moment, the vine filled with Fire Spirit Fruits suddenly twisted violently. The roots under it seemed to have touched something very terrifying and kept trembling.
Li Yuanqing looked at this scene in shock. The roots of the Fire Spirit Fruit were pulled out of the soil. The originally milky-white roots seemed to have caught fire and swelled up several times.
The vine was like a living person. It pulled its feet out of the soil and wanted to run.
However, the red power had already spread from its roots to the top. The entire green vine was covered in a layer of red frost.
The vines that were originally as thick as an arm had suddenly expanded to the size of a person’s waist.
Li Yuanqing watched in shock. This fellow had grown so much at once. Just as he was thinking about what would happen next, the fire spirit fruits on the vines exploded one by one, turning into flames that filled the sky. They landed on the ground and dyed the world red.
In just a short while, all the fire spirit fruits had exploded. None of them were spared. The dozen or so fire spirit fruits growing on the vine had all exploded. The harvest was over.
Li Yuanqing’s face trembled slightly. He only wanted to test what this drop of water was for, but he did not expect that this drop of water would destroy the entire vine’s fire spirit fruit.
The medicinal field was originally filled with medicinal herbs, but now, a piece of it was inexplicably empty. However, the medicinal herbs at the side were still working hard to grow, and soon filled up a lot of the empty space.
The ball of clear water was still floating in Li Yuanqing’s hand. He did not know what to do with this thing now. There were still 99 bottles neatly arranged in his domain space.
Logically speaking, the things rewarded by the system should be rare things. But why could this thing cause so much damage? Could it be that this thing was not used on plants, so it had such a serious rejection effect?
Just as Li Yuanqing was feeling puzzled, something suddenly happened in his domain space.
The two huge cocoons had each cracked open. However, the crack was only cracked, but it was very narrow and there was no movement inside.
Li Yuanqing looked worriedly at the cocoon. He did not know what situation the two of them were in.
The incense stick had already finished burning. Little Dot and Spirit Child were quietly guarding beside them.
Hu Jiujiu and Little Man were only one step away from stepping into the Immortal World, but they could not take the last step.
Li Yuanqing took out a huge golden demon core and a purple-gold alchemy furnace. He placed the alchemy furnace under the cocoon and threw the golden demon core into it. He took out ten high-grade spirit stones. This was the remuneration Zhao Baoyun had given him in advance.
These ten spirit stones contained the immortal energy of the Immortal World. He believed that this immortal energy could help Hu Jiujiu and Little Man take the last step and successfully step into the Immortal World.
On the other hand, Li Yuanqing did not have time to care about the Divine Origin Water while he was busy. He placed the ball of water in a jade box and casually placed it aside.
Now, Little Dot and Spirit Child were very interested in the water droplets in the jade box.
Spirit Child lay beside the box with his eyes wide open. His small hands could not help but open the box. He reached out a small finger and dipped it into the water droplet before stuffing it into his mouth greedily.
Li Yuanqing was busy throwing all the materials into the alchemy furnace and mixing them evenly. In the end, they turned into purple steam that rose from the pill furnace and wrapped around the two cocoons.
The purple steam kept spreading out from the alchemy furnace and seeped into the cocoon.
After doing all of this, Li Yuanqing finally heaved a sigh of relief. This was the purest power. He poured it all into their bodies and believed that it could help them complete their transformation.
Before coming, Li Yuanqing had specially increased their cultivation levels. Now, the two of them were third-grade Formation Arrangement Realm experts. Although they were not very powerful in the Immortal World, it should be enough.
Just as Li Yuanqing was about to heave a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a commotion.
Spirit Child was just curious and accidentally licked the Divine Origin Water. Now, the little fellow was lying on the ground and rolling around. Its tongue was swollen like red pepper and looked very comical. He kept blowing as he rolled around, wanting to blow away the burning sensation on his tongue, but these actions were useless.
Li Yuanqing hurriedly came to Spirit Child’s side. He saw that this kid’s symptoms were too strange. No matter what he ate, he had never become like this. He looked at the opened jade box at the side and Little Dot standing at the side cautiously. He understood everything.
Li Yuanqing recalled the scene of the Fire Spirit Fruit exploding into pieces on the ground just now. Wouldn’t all his years of nurturing be in vain if this little guy were to explode and die?
Just as he was thinking about what he should do to help this little fellow, Spirit Child suddenly crawled towards the lake. After the little fellow ran to the lake, it dipped its head into the lake and could not pull it out for a long time.
Right next to his head, bubbles filled the air. Steam rose. It was like a small volcano had erupted inside. The heat emitted kept steaming the lake.
Li Yuanqing stood behind Spirit Child and watched. The little fellow’s body was still twisting left and right anxiously, but his body stopped moving.
It was not that he died just like that. It was just that he seemed to have calmed down in the end. He lay there very comfortably.
After a while, Li Yuanqing pulled Spirit Child out. At this moment, his tongue had returned to normal and was not as swollen as before.
Spirit Child was in a daze and had a smile on his face. This smile looked like he had drunk too much. He looked at Li Yuanqing with misty eyes and reached out a small hand to pinch his face.
It really looked like he was drunk.
However, Li Yuanqing could clearly sense that Spirit Child’s strength had increased again. He looked at the little fellow strangely and then at the water droplets in the box beside him. He took out a small bowl and filled it with clear water. He then took a small portion from the water droplet and placed it in front of Little Dot.
Little Dot had seen the tragic state of Spirit Child just now and took two steps back carefully. He looked at Li Yuanqing timidly and begged for mercy.
Li Yuanqing smiled and walked up to Little Dot. He gathered him into his arms and brought the bowl to his mouth.
“Little Dot, didn’t you see how he ate so much just now? Isn’t he still fine now? Drink this bowl and see if you can increase your cultivation.”
At first, Little Dot was a little resistant, but when he smelled the smell coming from the bowl, his consciousness slowly blurred. It was as if a very strong attraction was attracting him, making him want to drink the water in the bowl in one gulp.
He swallowed lightly and looked up at Li Yuanqing innocently.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here. Nothing will happen.”
Little Dot timidly held the bowl in his hand and took a slow sip.
This mouthful seemed to taste good. He raised his head and drank the bowl of water in one gulp. After drinking it, he even licked his lips, looking like he was not satisfied.
After a while, Little Dot felt that something was wrong. His cheeks turned red and his body turned red, as if he was dyed red.
However, his reaction was not that strong. He fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Spirit Child was still sitting at the side with a demon core in his arms. He was playing with the demon core happily. It seemed like his vigor had not dissipated yet.
Li Yuanqing looked back and saw that the condition of the two cocoons had stabilized. Hu Jiujiu and Little Man’s slightly fluctuating power had gradually stabilized, and the power inside was slowly climbing.
Li Yuanqing turned around and returned to the medicinal field. He looked at the empty piece of land and took out the drop of water again. He had not used much of this big drop of water after all this.
Since the two little fellows could absorb the power in the water droplet, Li Yuanqing thought about the performance of the Fire Spirit Fruit just now.
It was obvious that the Fire Spirit Fruit could absorb the power inside. The power of it seemed to be a little too violent. It might be better for him to dilute it.
However, there was a fixed output every month in this small field. If he could not hand it in at that time, it would be a huge dereliction of duty. At that time, he might not even be able to keep this job.
He had already lost a Fire Spirit Fruit just now. If he lost another one, he did not know if he could make up for the loss.
Li Yuanqing took out a wooden bucket and placed a very small drop of water in it. He filled the wooden bucket with clear water and mixed it evenly. Then, he poured out half a bucket of water and placed it at the roots of the Fire Spirit Fruit in another medicinal field.
After pouring half a bucket of water down, he stood quietly at the side and waited, hoping that he would not explode the Fire Spirit Fruit this time.
The water slowly seeped into the soil. The Fire Spirit Fruit that was originally growing very evenly suddenly stopped. The roots below him seemed to be busy with something else and blocked its growth.
Not long after, the roots of the Fire Spirit Fruit suddenly began to tremble again.
However, this time, the roots weren’t uprooted and run. Although it was trembling a little this time, it was trembling with excitement.
Suddenly, the soil below was pushed open, and a huge bulge appeared on the originally flat soil. The bulge split open, revealing the very strong roots.
The Fire Spirit Fruit began to extend up from the roots below and grew two to three times thicker than its original foundation.
The medicinal field, which was already very crowded, became even more crowded. The vines of this Fire Spirit Fruit directly squeezed the growth space of the other brothers to a large extent.
Moreover, the fire spirit fruits on its vines were blown up like balloons. Just now, they were only the size of a human head, but now, they have grown to almost three feet tall.
The heavy fruit fell on the vine and almost landed on the ground.
Li Yuanqing stared blankly at the Fire Spirit Fruit that was more than half the height of a person. This was a little too exaggerated. Moreover, this thing worked so quickly. In just a short while, it had grown the entire fire spirit fruit to this size.
This was only a small drop in a bottle.
He plucked a Fire Spirit Fruit and placed it on the ground. He rubbed his chin and sized up the Fire Spirit Fruit.
This Fire Spirit Fruit was really too big. If he took it out to report, it would probably be difficult to explain.
Then it would be troublesome if the production of such a huge Fire Spirit Fruit was delayed. However, this thing had grown too big, and the spiritual energy inside was even richer.
Such a huge Fire Spirit Fruit was equivalent to seven or eight before.
This Divine Origin Water was really a useful thing. It directly catalyzed the Fire Spirit Fruit that was supposed to grow for two months to mature in an instant.
However, Li Yuanqing had to think of a way now. If he wanted to benefit from these Fire Spirit Fruits, he had to think of a way to report to the sect. Otherwise, if he nurtured all these Fire Spirit Fruits, the sect would not be able to obtain anything when they came to collect the goods.
At this moment, a very subtle signal came from outside the valley. Someone was coming.
Li Yuanqing put all the fire spirit fruits into his domain space and even uprooted the vines.
After a moment, Zhao Baoyun landed beside Li Yuanqing.
He gaped at the empty space in front of him.
“Brother Li, what are you doing?”
“Brother Zhao, I’m really sorry. Just now, I wanted to tidy up the herbs inside, but I didn’t expect these herbs to shatter into pieces for some reason. The vines also melted into the soil.”
Zhao Baoyun looked at the fiery red ground and warned Li Yuanqing in pain, “Look at the things on it first before you make a move. These are all precious things!”
“Brother Zhao, I’m really sorry. I wonder if I…”
“Forget it, forget it. I’ll deduct it from your salary next month.” Zhao Baoyun added, “There’s an old servant in Sanyuan. Bring my recommendation letter and go there to ask him for guidance. Don’t let this happen again!”
