Chapter 8 New Features

As soon as he got home, Fang Chen couldn't wait to check the newly bought spiritual plants and seeds.

Name: Ethereal Grass
Level: First-class medium

Features: Square inch space
Square Inch Space: An independent space of one square inch is contained inside.

A mature ethereal grass costs five spirit stones. Fang Chen bought twenty of them, mainly to feed the spirit silkworms before the ethereal grass he planted matured.

"Can we check the properties of plants that have been picked and are no longer alive?"

This was something he had not expected, as he had originally thought that only living plants could allow him to see their characteristics.

"Granted characteristic - Aura affinity."

Fang Chen suddenly had an idea and tried to give this ethereal grass some special properties.

Failed.

Unsurprisingly.

"You can get properties from dead plants, but you can't give them properties?"

After reaching this conclusion, Fucai took out the seeds of Kongling Grass from the storage bag.

Name: Ethereal Grass
Features: Square inch space
……

"Can you identify it even if it's a seed? No, it seems to be missing something compared to the finished spiritual plant."

Fang Chen suddenly realized that touching the mature Kongling grass would provide information about its level.

Moreover, according to the records in the Fundamentals of Refining Equipment, the Sky Spirit Grass should be a first-grade superior spiritual grass. Coupled with its rare spatial properties, it can be sold at a high price of five spirit stones per plant.

Of course, the high price here is compared with other ordinary first-grade high-quality spiritual herbs. Special spiritual herbs like Moonlight Grass are priced at a minimum of one hundred spirit stones per plant, which is the same price as third-grade spiritual herbs. Naturally, they cannot be compared.

"It seems like this is the first time I've seen information about levels. Is this an illusion?"

Fang Chen touched the mature ethereal grass again, and the information he received was the same as the first time. There was no such thing as an illusion.

He suppressed his doubts deep in his heart and took out the mature Ganoderma lucidum and blue silver flowers.

The two are the main ingredients for refining Qi Gathering Powder and Huiling Pills respectively. He also bought some finished products. One plant costs two spirit stones. Theoretically, one plant can be used to refine one pill, and the price of one pill is five spirit stones.

This shows the huge profits made by alchemists.

However, the initial investment is also a bottomless pit.

Name: Lingzhi grass
Level: First-level lower grade

Features: Aura affinity
……

Name: Blue Silver Flower
Level: First-level lower grade

Features: Aura affinity
……

The characteristics of both spiritual plants are affinity with spiritual energy, but they also have displayed levels.

"Spiritual affinity, could it be that..."

Thinking about the effect of the spiritual energy affinity characteristics, Fang Chen immediately had a guess.

The basis for my ability to judge the level of spiritual plants is probably the amount of spiritual energy contained in them.

The spiritual plants in his yard generally do not contain spiritual energy, so there is no such thing as a level. As for the spiritual plants that he has endowed with spiritual energy affinity, it is estimated that the spiritual energy they have absorbed has not yet reached the standard of a first-level low-grade spiritual plant.
The main basis for making this judgment is still the Kongling Grass.

The spiritual energy contained in the Kongling Grass is only equivalent to that of a first-grade mid-quality spiritual plant, but its rare spatial attribute is enough to make it be rated as a first-grade high-quality spiritual plant.

After making this guess, Fang Chen had no way to verify it, so he began to check the characteristics of other seeds.

Name: Baiyun Lingcao

Features: Solid Fiber
Spirit-Solidifying Fibers: Thick fibers can store and solidify spiritual energy, and release the solidified spiritual energy when the fibers are damaged.

This is the spiritual plant used to make talisman paper. Fang Chen also purchased some seeds and planned to learn how to make talismans.

Therefore, he also bought a lot of seeds of Lingyuan beans, which are often used to make spiritual ink.

Name: Lingyuan Bean
Level: First-level lower grade

Features: Aura affinity
……

The seeds of the Spiritual Source Bean are also mature fruits, so it is not surprising that they show the same level, but the characteristic is also spiritual affinity, which is not a new characteristic.
Features: Aura Affinity (Fire)

Affinity for Spiritual Energy (Fire): One has an innate affinity for the fire-attributed spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and can absorb the fire-attributed spiritual energy of heaven and earth and store it in the body.

This is the fire spirit grass used to feed the fire-attributed spirit silkworms. Its characteristics make Fang Chen feel both familiar and unfamiliar.

It can basically be considered a variant of aura affinity.

"If you say so..."

Fang Chen then took out the seeds of gold spirit grass, wood spirit grass, water spirit grass and earth spirit grass. As expected, their characteristics were all affinities with the spiritual energy of the corresponding attributes.

"Granted characteristic - a small space."

With these seeds, he started other experiments.

According to Zhou Xingyun, the Five Elements Spirit Silkworms must be fed with spiritual plants of corresponding attributes, so Fang Chen plans to use his abilities to create spiritual plants with two attributes to feed the Five Elements Spirit Silkworms.

In this way, it might be possible for the Five Elements Silkworms to produce silk that possesses both the five elements and spatial attributes.

As for whether doing so would help the Beggar Version of the Immortal Palace, Fang Chen planned to set up a control group.

That's why he bought ordinary silkworm eggs.

Name: Ethereal Grass
Features: Dimensions Space
……

After Fang Chen bestowed new characteristics on the seed, the original spiritual affinity (fire) characteristics of the seed were covered up.

This is not surprising. According to the test results of twenty moonlight grasses yesterday, the probability of such a situation occurring is the highest.

He had anticipated this in his mind. After the ability's cooldown ended, Fang Chen conducted a new experiment holding the same seed.

"Granted trait - Aura affinity (fire)."

After the original characteristics of the spiritual plant are covered, the original characteristics are given again until the two characteristics coexist on one spiritual plant.

"No, so whether a spiritual plant can carry two characteristics depends on the situation of the spiritual plant itself?"

After repeated experiments for more than ten times, Fang Chen gained a new understanding of his abilities.

So without wasting any more time, he endowed the other seeds with the characteristics of small space.

After experiencing more than a dozen failures, the dual-attribute spiritual plant he had been longing for finally appeared.

Name: Ethereal Grass (Fire)

Features: Small space & aura affinity (fire)

Square Inch Space & Affinity for Spiritual Energy (Fire): Contains an independent space of one square inch inside; has an innate affinity for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with fire attribute, can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with fire attribute and store it in the body; the spiritual energy of fire attribute will become purer in the independent space.

"This is the first time I've seen two characteristics that are neither parallel nor completely merged into a new characteristic."

Fang Chen still remembers the Moonlight Spirit Grass that he created last night using his ability. The two attributes of moonlight and spiritual energy affinity exist in parallel, and the Moonlight Grass is a fusion of the two characteristics.

The situation of the ethereal grass (fire) at the scene was obviously different from the two, and it was more like a state in between the two.

He then picked up spiritual plants of the other four attributes, and after trying each of them more than ten times, he successfully obtained the Kongling Grass (Gold), Kongling Grass (Wood), and so on.

Exactly the same as the situation with the Sky Spirit Grass (Fire).

Fortunately, his magic power is now five times that of before, so he doesn't need to take the Soul-Returning Pills anymore.

"Is it a problem of the compatibility between the characteristics? No, the characteristics I bestowed on Moonlight Spirit Grass and Moonlight Grass are exactly the same, but they produced different results. So it is still related to the spiritual plant itself?"

According to the current situation, the change in characteristics after being granted is most likely related to the spiritual plant itself, and Fang Chen came to this conclusion based on this.

"So what is the nature of traits? Genes?"

Thinking of this, Fang Chen suddenly realized that he was wasting time.

Now is not the time to think about these things. Since we have obtained new characteristics and bought so many spiritual plant seeds and spiritual silkworm eggs, the most urgent task is to put these things to use as soon as possible.

When your strength reaches a certain level, many problems that you cannot understand now will be easily solved.

With this idea in mind, Fang Chen began to deal with the supplies he had purchased today.
