Chapter 216: Chapter 214: Accelerated Growth of Spirit Plant, Cloning the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit
When he first looked at the system introduction, Lin Jing saw it very clearly.
This Fallen Spiritual Energy would attach itself to objects imbued with Spiritual Energy.
A moment ago, it actively drifted towards him, and Lin Jing surmised that it must have been attracted by the Spiritual Power within his body, thus floating towards him, wanting to adhere to him.
If he carelessly allowed it to make contact with him, he would likely end up like the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed, with the Spiritual Power in his body slowly dissipating away.
Afterward, Lin Jing thought…
Since this Fallen Spiritual Energy can attach itself to everything, it must also be able to attach to cultivators…
Thus.
After Lin Jing pondered over it, he decided to throw the Flying Sword in his hand towards it.
As expected.
As soon as the Fallen Spiritual Energy touched the Flying Sword, it attached itself to it.
And Lin Jing’s connection with that Flying Sword almost instantaneously became blocked.
It was evident how formidable this Fallen Spiritual Energy was.
Now, Lin Jing possessed this Flying Sword imbued with Fallen Spiritual Energy.
If during combat he were to self-destruct the Flying Sword…
And let the Fallen Spiritual Energy contaminate the enemy.
The consequences would not need much contemplation…
After storing away the Flying Sword, Lin Jing directly spoke and summoned the System.
“System.”
“Check the current status of the Spirit Plant.”
As Lin Jing’s voice fell, a system panel materialized in front of him:
Spirit Plant: Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit
Planting Environment: Uninhabited Mountains.
Current Spirit Plant environment matched, rapid growth in progress, time remaining until maturity: 9 years and 15 days.
This Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit was finally ready.
And next, Lin Jing still needed to return this Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit to the Ning Family.
However…
Before that, he had one more thing to do.
That was to ‘clone’ another Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit.
Lin Jing hadn’t forgotten that he was just one Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit short of gathering all the ingredients required for refining the Cultivation True Elixir.
And to clone the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit, he would need to use the System’s new feature.
New feature—Spiritual Plant Acceleration.
Lin Jing was just in time to give it a try.
With thought turned into action…
Lin Jing again summoned the System.
“System, use the Spiritual Plant Acceleration.”
As Lin Jing’s voice fell.
Countless system panels appeared before Lin Jing, each above a Spirit Plant.
Lin Jing looked toward the panel hovering above the recently buried Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed…
Another panel was showing:
Tier-Three Spirit Plant: Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit
Acceleration Cost: Every 5 Harvest Points offset one year of growth, can directly accelerate a Spirit Plant to maturity.
Acceleration Rate: Ten thousand times.
“A ten-thousand-fold acceleration rate…”
Lin Jing muttered softly, then lowered his head to ponder:
“This Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit needs nine years to mature…”
“According to a ten-thousand-fold acceleration rate, that comes down to about eight hours.”
Eight hours to complete nine years of growth, and it would cost 45 Harvest Points.
Although Lin Jing felt that the Harvest Points spent were a bit much,
Overall, it was still quite cost-effective.
Following that, Lin Jing directly commenced:
“Begin acceleration”
As Lin Jing’s voice finished, a light screen slowly rose from within the Spirit Field, enveloping the small area where the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed sat.
Afterward…
A countdown panel appeared above the light screen.
And on that panel, time conversion was underway,
Lin Jing watched the timer on the panel…
Soon, a minute had passed.
And the time conversion displayed on the panel already showed seven days gone by.
Time: 00:01:02
Already accelerated: 7 days
Only a minute had elapsed, yet inside the light screen, seven days had already passed.
This was the acceleration of a tier-three Spirit Plant; the growth rate was slow, and even though seven days had passed, there was still no sign of any activity.
If it were the acceleration of low-tier Spiritual Plants like Spirit Rice, within minutes one would likely see new green shoots breaking through the soil.
What followed was the waiting…
After all…
This acceleration would take eight hours to complete.
And there was no need to watch it constantly.
Rather than idle waiting here, it would be more substantive to refine a few batches of Elixir Medicine.
Afterward…
Lin Jing left the Spirit Field and went to the Alchemy Room.
Eight hours…
Truth be told, the time actually passed quite swiftly.
Now, having finished refining two batches of Elixir Medicine, Lin Jing was squatting beside the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit, watching the time displayed on the system panel.
Time: 07:46:02
Already accelerated: 8 years
At this moment, the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit within the light screen had also fully grown, with three lustrous fruits hanging on the branches.
Soon, these fruits would become fully ripe.
Indeed…
Not much later, a system notification chimed.
“Ding.”
“System notification: Spiritual Plant Acceleration is complete, the Spirit Plant Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit is now mature, acceleration duration was 9 years and 15 days, total cost: 45 Harvest Points.”
“Current Harvest Points remaining: 1841.”
During the wait for the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit to mature, Lin Jing had also refined a Pure Elixir, earning an additional 10 Harvest Points as a reward.
As a result…
After using the Spiritual Plant Acceleration, Lin Jing still had 1841 Harvest Points remaining.
Then, the light screen vanished…
Lin Jing, not able to wait any longer, reached out and plucked the three fruits.
At that moment, the system notification sounded again:
“System notification: Congratulations to the host on successfully harvesting the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit, this Spirit Plant, having been accelerated to maturity, will not yield any Harvest Points.”
As expected, there were no Harvest Points awarded.
Plants that had grown through acceleration would not yield Harvest Points, something Lin Jing had anticipated.
Because…
A tier-three Spirit Plant, if grown normally to maturity, would also yield about the same amount of Harvest Points.
If the Spiritual Plant Acceleration feature could still yield Harvest Points, it would essentially mean no consumption had occurred.
