After a moment of silence, Mu Zhu asked, “What kind of spirit medicine does Master want us to cultivate?”
“Dragon Blood Flower, you should have seen it in the medicine garden,” Yang Kai said as he walked towards the area where the Dragon Blood Flower was, the two Wood Spirits following closely behind.
Not long after they arrived, Yang Kai’s eyes flashed with joy as he exclaimed, “Holy shit!”
Several hundred stalks of Dragon Blood Flowers were arranged neatly in a medicinal garden, growing in the middle of a patch of purple grass, releasing a dark red light. Just as he had expected, each of these Dragon Blood Flowers was no longer a low-grade herb, but a mid-grade one!
Six or seven hundred stalks of Mid-Grade Dragon Blood Flowers!
What kind of concept was this? In the past, Yang Kai had only obtained more than thousand stalks of Dragon Blood Flower, two of which were supreme-grade, thirty high-grade, two hundred mid-grade, and the rest were all low-grade.
Due to the lack of time, he had refined the top-quality Dragon Blood Flower into a Dragon Blood Pill and swallowed the middle-quality one whole, leaving the low-quality one in the medicine garden.
But now, all of these low-grade ones had become middle-grade!
And that wasn’t all.
In addition to these six or seven hundred Mid-Grade Dragon Blood Flowers, Yang Kai also found a number of Incomplete Dragon Blood Flowers in a nearby herb garden. There were at least a thousand of them, some of them showing signs of breaking through to the Low-Grade.
“This, this, this…” Yang Kai pointed at the Mid-Grade Dragon Blood Flower, “Did you all do this?”
Mu Zhu pursed her lips and smiled, “The conditions here are quite good, otherwise it wouldn’t have been able to grow so quickly.”
“What about these over here?” Yang Kai pointed to another medicine garden and asked curiously, “Where did you get these Dragon Blood Flower seeds?”
Mu Lu said softly, “No seed is needed…”
“No seed is needed…” Yang Kai was stunned.
Mu Zhu explained, “These are the roots of the Dragon Blood Flower that Mu Na and I took and transplanted here. Master seems to have the Dragon Bloodline, so these Dragon Blood Flowers should be of great use to you, right?”
“It’s not just useful, it’s simply…” Yang Kai didn’t know what to say. He really wanted to hug these two Wood Spirits and give them a big kiss, but the Wood Spirits were too small. If he really did that, he might scare them.
Calming himself down, Yang Kai returned to the main topic and said, “The situation is like this, the origins of my Dragon Blood Flower are a bit improper.”
The two Wood Spirits stared at him quietly.
Yang Kai said somewhat awkwardly, “They were all harvested from Dragon Island.” Sneaking a glance at them and seeing no strange reaction from them, Yang Kai continued, “Right now, Dragon Island wants me to make up for their losses, so I have to transplant these Dragon Blood Flowers.”
“You want to return it to them?” Hearing this, Mu Zhu was a bit unhappy.
The Wood Spirit Race had a special fondness for natural treasures, and Yang Kai had always been willing to let them take care of the things in this medicine garden. In the hearts of these two Wood Spirits, everything in this medicine garden had long since become their personal property. Of course, if Yang Kai, their master, wanted to take something from it, it would naturally not be a problem, but if he were to take something out and give it to someone else, the two of them would never be willing to part with it.
The Dragon Blood Flower was extremely rare and only appeared on Dragon Island. It was even rarer than ordinary Emperor Treasures.
When Yang Kai suddenly said that he wanted to transplant these Dragon Blood Flowers, the two of them felt as if their beloved things were about to be cut off. Naturally, their hearts ached.
Yang Kai said, “Originally, I was wondering if I should keep some of them, but now that you have the ability, there’s no need to think too much about it.” Even if he transplanted all of the mid-grade Dragon Blood Flowers, his Medicine Garden still had over a thousand unranked herbs, and Mu Zhu and Mu Lu could use the Secret Technique of the Wood Spirit Race to increase the number of Dragon Blood Flowers they had, it could be said that in the future, the supply of Dragon Blood Flowers would definitely be endless.
“Do we have to transplant it?” Mu Lu pouted.
Yang Kai sighed, “This matter is too important, I don’t want to, but there’s nothing I can do.”
Hearing this, Mu Zhu nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, we will follow Master’s orders.”
After the discussion was settled, the two Wood Spirits were immediately released from the Mysterious Small World by Yang Kai. After arriving at Dragon Blood Island, Mu Zhu said, “Master, please wait a moment. Mu Lu and I will first investigate the situation here before making any further plans.”
“Do what you want” Yang Kai nodded repeatedly before standing in place and waiting, observing the changes in the Dragon Blood Flower he had dripped with Golden Blood while Mu Zhu and Mu Na flew off to investigate Dragon Blood Island.
After a few hours, the two women returned one after another and whispered to each other for a while before suddenly shaking their heads and sighing.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing this, Yang Kai’s heart skipped a beat. At this time, it would be best if nothing unexpected happened.
Mu Zhu said, “It’s nothing much, I just discovered that the Dragon Race has lost many things in the field of cultivating Dragon Blood Flowers. If we use their old methods to cultivate it, it will be more efficient.”
In ancient times, the Wood Spirit Race also had members who had helped the Dragon Race cultivate the Dragon Blood Flower and accumulated a large amount of useful experience, but as time passed, these things had all been lost and many special methods could only be used by the Wood Spirit Race. Even if other races knew about these methods, they wouldn’t be able to use them.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “You’re all experts in this field, I’m afraid there’s no one in this world who can compare to you. The key is that since we’ve taken over now, we must do our best to make the Dragon Race speechless.”
Mu Zhu nodded, “But before that, I must first ask Master, what is our goal?”
“The goal,” Yang Kai muttered to himself for a moment before continuing, “Back then, I collected more than a thousand stalks of Dragon Blood Flowers, two of which were supreme-grade, thirty high-grade, two hundred mid-grade, and the rest were all low-grade. If I say our goal is this, how long will it take to complete it?”
Mu Zhu nodded and replied, “Not too much.”
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up. These words gave him a great deal of confidence.
Mu Zhu continued, “Only the two supreme-grade Dragon Blood Flowers are somewhat troublesome, the rest… I’m afraid it will only take half a year to cultivate.”
“Half a year!” Yang Kai was greatly surprised, “Can it be done in such a short time?” He didn’t doubt the abilities of these two Wood Spirits, but wasn’t this period a bit too short? The growth period of Dragon Blood Flower was quite long.
Mu Zhu said, “In the early stages, all kinds of conditions can be met. Master, you know what Dragon Blood Flower needs the most.”
“Dragon blood!” Yang Kai said solemnly.
Mu Zhu nodded and said, “That’s right, the purer the dragon blood, the more obvious its effect is on the growth of the Dragon Blood Flower, so we need some dragon blood.”
“It seems my blood can also be used,” Yang Kai said somewhat uncertainly.
“Master, you want to extract your own blood?” Mu Zhu frowned, not knowing why Yang Kai was so concerned about this matter, even willing to sacrifice his own blood to cultivate the Dragon Blood Flower.
Yang Kai grinned and pointed at the Dragon Blood Flower that had just been transplanted, “Look at this, I just gave it a drop of my own blood, it seems to have grown a bit.”
When the two Wood Spirits heard this, they both flew over and stood on either side of the Dragon Blood Flower. Closing their eyes, the two Wood Spirits suddenly released specks of green light from their bodies and flew towards the Dragon Blood Flower like fireflies, wrapping it up.
A moment later, the two women both opened their eyes and Mu Zhu turned to look at Yang Kai in disbelief, “Master, you’re from the Dragon Race?”
“Me?” Yang Kai pointed at his nose and grinned, “I’m not a Dragon Race, I just obtained the Dragon Race’s Origin and cultivated the Dragon Transformation Art.”
“But this Dragon Blood…” Mu Zhu’s brow wrinkled as she hesitated, but eventually shook her head.
“It can’t be used?” Yang Kai’s heart sank, “Impossible, it has clearly grown a bit.”
Mu Lu smiled and said, “It’s not that it can’t be used, it’s just that its effects are very good. If it can absorb all of your blood and supplement it with our Secret Techniques, it will definitely be able to grow to the level of a High-Grade Dragon Blood Flower in half a year, but if it wants to grow to the peak grade, it won’t be possible in a short time. Even if we personally cultivate it, it will take at least ten or twenty years.”
Yang Kai suddenly understood and said, “Let’s not think about the top quality ones for now. At most, we can just get some high-grade ones to supplement our supply. I collected a thousand of them back then, so I’ll just give them back a little more.”
Mu Zhu nodded and said, “That’s all we can do.” Now that the most important source of materials had been obtained, there was no need to worry about the Dragon Blood Flower anymore. Mu Zhu and Mu Lu gathered together and whispered for a while before Mu Zhu said, “Master, please take the Purple Soul Grass out of the medicine garden.”
“What Purple Soul Grass?” Yang Kai looked at them blankly.
Mu Lu pursed her lips and smiled, “The grass in the Dragon Blood Flower Garden.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai slapped his head, “It’s those…”
When he entered the medicine garden just now, he had noticed that not only were there Dragon Blood Flowers growing in the two medicine gardens, but there were also many purple grass and red Dragon Blood Flowers. At that time, he didn’t pay much attention to them, but now that he heard them talk about them, he knew what Purple Soul Grass they were.
As Yang Kai cast a spell to get the Purple Soul Grass out of the medicine garden, he asked, “What use does this Purple Soul Grass have? Why haven’t I seen it before?” He was an Alchemist, and an Emperor Alchemist at that. There was no reason for him not to know about all kinds of spirit flowers and grasses in this world.
Mu Zhu replied, “The Purple Soul Grass has long since disappeared, only my Wood Spirit Race has some seeds left, because it must grow together with the Dragon Blood Flower, otherwise it would be impossible for it to survive. Its existence also has a great effect on the Dragon Blood Flower, it can promote the growth of the Dragon Blood Flower. Specifically speaking, these flowers and grass are basically complementary. With the Purple Soul Grass, the growth period of the Dragon Blood Flower can be greatly reduced.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai’s eyes lit up, “There’s such a thing?”
Mu Zhu nodded and said, “Dragon Island should have Purple Soul Grass, but for some reason it no longer exists.”
As time passed, there were simply too many extinct things, not just Purple Soul Grass.
