782 A New Spiritual Plant
Now that Li Xiang was selling cultivation techniques, many civilians who wanted to cultivate but could not get started were overjoyed. Their hearts were immediately filled with hope.
Someone found the part about cultivation techniques on the fixed price list.
“Transcendent realm cultivation techniques: Low-grade 100 Star Coins, mid-grade 500 to 1,000 Star Coins, high-grade 1,000 to 10,000 Star Coins, and top-grade 10,000 to 100,000 Star Coins. Before practicing any cultivation technique, one must take an Inner Demon Oath. Once the inheritance is obtained, the cultivation technique will disappear.”
“So expensive! However, as long as I can obtain the cultivation technique, it is worth it, no matter how expensive. This is the path to becoming a cultivator. It can even be the background and foundation of a family or clan.”
Someone immediately took out Star Coins without hesitation and bought the cultivation techniques he liked.
Those cultivation techniques all required the Inner Demon Oath to be taken. Only one person could cultivate them, and they could not be given to a second person. One also couldn’t disclose the technique to anyone in any form. Otherwise, Li Xiang wouldn’t have put them up for sale.
However, after obtaining the cultivation techniques, those people could wait for their strength to increase before they use other means to collect cultivation techniques and obtain resources.
The cultivation technique was the threshold to step into the transcendent level. If one could cross it, one could even establish a transcendent clan in the future.
“Boss, do you accept these seeds?”
Just as countless civilians were excitedly buying goods in large numbers, a child in tattered clothes appeared in front of Li Xiang timidly. He opened his dirty palms, which held some bean-like seeds, and looked at Li Xiang with anticipation.
Li Xiang heard that and looked down.
When his gaze fell on the seeds, he was surprised. It was actually a good item.
They were flat, maroon-colored seeds that looked like beans. They had smooth surfaces and emitted a strange fragrance.
“What’s this? Bean? It smells pretty good!” Song Yuqing asked as she looked at him curiously.
“This is a type of fruit tree I found in the mountains. It bears some sort of nut, and these beans are inside it. They’re very fragrant and can be eaten. They’re filling, and a single tree can bear many of these beans. These seeds can be used to grow that fruit tree!”
The child raised his head and said firmly.
“It’s Cocoa Beans!” Li Xiang recognized the beans.
The Cocoa Tree was an Evergreen Tree Species. Its large and smooth leaves were red in infancy but would turn green after maturity. The nuts it bore contained large amounts of Cocoa Beans. And those beans could be eaten. Moreover, the bean was rich in nutrients and could increase protein. It was considered a high-energy plant.
Many people didn’t know much about Cocoa Beans, but when it came to chocolate, there shouldn’t be anyone who didn’t know about it.
The main ingredient of chocolate was Cocoa Beans.
As long as something like Cocoa Beans appeared, it would bring more enjoyment to humans and increase the variety of food in their daily lives. Chocolate was a good thing. It was a high-energy product and could save one’s life during a famine. Moreover, it could be made into chocolate, greatly enriching the variety of delicacies.
Chocolate!
Li Xiang could still remember the first time he ate chocolate. It was indeed unforgettable.
However, since he came to this world, chocolate had become a delicacy in his memories. He didn’t expect to see the main ingredients for making chocolate here.
This world always felt like it was missing something without chocolate.
Li Xiang held the Cocoa Beans in his hand and carefully sensed them.
“These beans actually contain Spiritual Qi. These are spirit fruits and Spirit Beans borne from a Spirit Fruit Tree!”
Li Xiang’s expression changed slightly as soon as he held them. With his cultivation, he immediately sensed that a few of the Cocoa Beans in his hand contained Spiritual Qi, which was different from common Cocoa Beans.
Although the other Cocoa Beans also gained traces of Spiritual Qi, they were not Spirit Beans. However, there were real Spirit Beans in those beans. They contained a shocking amount of Spiritual Qi and were like spiritual plants and spiritual grains. They were real spiritual plants.
“The fruits of this Cocoa Tree have undergone some kind of mutation, so the number of Spirit Beans it produces definitely won’t be a lot. It should be a mutation caused by the sudden increase in heaven and earth vitality. However, the Cocoa Tree hasn’t completely transformed into a Spirit Tree. It has only produced a portion of these Spirit Beans.” Li Xiang’s thoughts were running.
Since they were Spirit Beans, they were also seeds. As long as they were planted, with the help of the World Tree Space and even the herb garden and spiritual field in the Starlight Shrine, new cocoa trees could be spawned quickly. Cocoa Trees spawned from Spirit Beans would definitely be Spirit Trees, meaning the fruits they bore would naturally be Spirit Beans. And the chocolate made from them would also contain Spiritual Qi.
“If I plant these Spirit Beans to spawn Cocoa Beans Spirit Tree and produce a large number of Spirit Beans to make chocolate, how delicious would that be? It may even have other unique effects.” Li Xiang was feeling passionate about it.
That was an excellent opportunity. If he missed the Cocoa Beans, he didn’t know when he could find them again. That was especially so for spiritual plants’ seeds, which were extremely valuable and hard to come by.
He intended to plant a batch of them in the Starlight Shrine’s spiritual field.
His talent had transformed, which produced a spirit field and herb garden. The area and space had expanded to a rather shocking extent.
There were many empty regions in the spiritual field, and now was a good time to plant new spiritual plants.
Cocoa Beans could be one of them, and at a critical moment, they could even be used as food.
“How many beans do you have? I would offer five Star Coins for one Jin. I’ll buy as much as you have!” Li Xiang said to the child in front of him with a smile.
Five Star Coins for one Jin was not a low price. However, it wasn’t an overstatement considering the Cocoa Beans’ function. To a certain extent, it was also because the child in front of him seemed to be in a pitiful state. In addition, there were also mixed Spirit Beans inside, so buying them would be a sure profit.
“Really? That’s great. We have it. We still have a lot of these beans. Five Star Coins per Jin, we’ll send it over now!”
When the little boy heard that, his face immediately revealed a look of wild joy.
There were many Cocoa Beans in a nearby mountain forest, and each Cocoa Tree could produce many Cocoa Beans. If all of them could be exchanged for Star Coins now, and one Star Coin could buy 100 Jin rations, that would be enough to feed them for many years.
Compared to Cocoa Beans, they still preferred to eat rations.
“These are the beans that grow on the tree? It is actually so valuable. I’ve picked it before and put it at home. I’ll eat one whenever I’m free. I never expect that they can be exchanged for money. I have them too. I’ll go back and get it now.”
“I remember that these fruit trees are growing in the nearby mountains. They’re just ripe now, so I’ll pick them now.”
When the other civilians heard that, their eyes immediately lit up. They didn’t expect that the food they ate as snacks would be so valuable. They could be treated as food. One Jin of beans could exchange hundreds of Jin of rations. How could they not be excited?
