Chapter 527: Chapter 65: Sixth Rank Water Immortal, Fish-eating Grass, Azure Sea Cloud Vine (8K)_3

"If this person hadn’t cultivated the Cold Ice Spirit Body, he wouldn’t even be worth mentioning here." Pei Yuanchang said, "Let’s discuss two plans."

"First, he gets thirty percent, and the advanced qualification will be revoked once the Extreme Night Sea expedition ends. He’ll return to where he came from."

"Second, the advanced qualification will be granted to him for two months. For one of those months, he must remain in the Extreme Night Sea, and all the harvest will belong to me."

"My condition is already much better than those from other factions." Pei Yuanchang said, "If he doesn’t agree, then there’s no need to say more."

Although the seven exploration groups have formed an alliance, excluding other forces and sealing off the seas, (Liu Tianning’s absence means he doesn’t count as a faction.)

But there’s still competition among them, akin to a military race. Each one wants to expand quickly, occupy broader sea territories, and secure more Spiritual Beauty.

Currently, out of the seven exploration groups, his territory is the smallest.

The conditions Pei Yuanchang offered were indeed better than those of other factions.

But when it comes to advanced investigator qualifications, how precious can they be?

It could even make people kings. A fifth-grade Martial Artist working a few days wanting to trade it away? Impossible.

"Alright, I’ll approach him again to see if he wants to negotiate the price or just has no self-awareness." The strategist said.

"There’s also a fifth-rank Minister of Agriculture named Ren Fang outside the Ten Suns Cave Heaven. He is related to ’Marquis Mingwei’."

"What did Marquis Mingwei say?" Pei Yuanchang asked. Marquis Mingwei was the general of the Xuanjia Army, while Marquis Mingwu was the general of the Tiger Flood Dragon Army.

"Marquis Mingwei just passed a message; he did not show up himself."

"Does this person have one-tenth of Liu Tianning’s capability?" Pei Yuanchang asked.

"It’s estimated he does not."

"Is he aligned with the Self Sect?"

"His main focus is on the Heavenly Time Sect."

"Reject him." Pei Yuanchang said, "Given the current situation in the Extreme Night Sea, both heavenly and earthly advantages are hard to sway. Aside from the Self Sect’s Minister of Agriculture being of some use, others find it hard to achieve anything."

In fact, the Self Sect’s Minister of Agriculture also depends on whether they have cultivated the ’Pure Essence Soil.’

Otherwise, their use is still limited.

But since his main focus is on the Heavenly Time Sect, there was no need to ask further.

A fifth-rank Minister of Agriculture is not like Liu Tianning.

If this person had one-tenth of Liu Tianning’s capability, Pei Yuanchang would personally welcome him and treat him as an honored guest.

After the strategist left, Pei Yuanchang handled a batch of affairs.

As the person in power, Pei Yuanchang, having achieved Pure Essence Realm Perfection, naturally did not need to venture outside to endure the cold. However, he still had many engagements.

After being busy for two hours, he finally remembered Zhao Xing.

Primarily because he saw news about Liu Tianning: "Liu Tianning decided to come to the Extreme Night Sea in a day? I wonder how Zhao Xing and the others are doing... Someone, come!"

"Young master."

"How are Zhao Xing and the others doing?"

"Young master, Marquis Yuan Rang and others set up a Wen Hua’s greenhouse twenty miles southeast of us. It seems it has reached the sixth rank."

"Oh?" Pei Yuanchang asked in surprise, "Did a member of Liu Tianning’s team come? How come no one informed me?"

"Young master, no one else has arrived."

"Then how did they build a sixth-rank Wen Hua’s greenhouse?" Pei Yuanchang understood immediately after he said this, and waved his hand: "Alright, you may leave. Do not mention this to anyone."

"Understood."

After his subordinate left, Pei Yuanchang couldn’t help but smile slightly.

"Marquis Yuan Rang is truly unconventional in his ways."

The Qilin Flying Boat was a symbol of status and honor, a gift from Emperor Jing. Others couldn’t treasure it enough, but Zhao Xing modified it extensively, simply because the materials and crafts on the Qilin Flying Boat were practical.

"This person truly embodies the practicality of the Minister of Agriculture."

"It’s said he mastered the Self Sect’s High-Order Magic while still at seventh-rank. No wonder Liu Tianning valued him. I wonder what he will produce this time." Pei Yuanchang’s eyes showed a trace of expectation.

.....

"Fifth-rank seedling Water Immortal, fifth-rank seedling Fish-eating Grass, fifth-rank seedling Azure Sea Cloud Vine."

"These three are fifth-rank even in the seedling stage, all derivative species created by skilled high-grade Ministers of Agriculture. Simply buying them cost a lot. With the right environment, they can potentially grow to the sixth rank."

"Old Chen, we must maximize these chances." In the Wen Hua’s greenhouse, Zhao Xing pointed at the seedlings in the black soil.

Chen Shijie looked at the three seedlings and couldn’t help but be in a daze.

Among the plants Zhao Xing mentioned, he had only heard of Water Immortal; the other two were unknown to him!

Why? Because they were derivative species!

They did not exist naturally but were new species created through artificial cultivation.

Old Chen understood the original species, but derivative species were beyond his knowledge.

Moreover, the two species Zhao Xing mentioned were not just ordinary derivative species.

They were the results of research by high-grade Ministers of Agriculture from [Shangluo College] of the Military Realm.

In other words, they were cutting-edge, high-end goods, only spread within a small circle and not yet officially available to the public.

How did they come into being? Naturally, they were acquired through Liu Tianning’s connections.

"You only bought sixty plants?" Chen Shijie asked, as that quantity was very small for seedlings.

Following the latest technologies in dispatches, now that such advanced techniques were at his fingertips, Chen Shijie found himself hesitant to proceed.

Afraid of mishandling these precious seedlings, any slight mistake could result in wasted investments.

Plant life, irrespective of its rank, remained fragile in the seedling and seed stages.

A slight mishandling, and they would die on you.

As for mutations and downgrades, they were even more common.

"Old Chen, be bold. Don’t be afraid." Zhao Xing smiled, "You have already undergone a transformation within Tianmen."

"You have a High-Order Strong Foundation Skill that reached the high level. Speaking of which, your High-Order Strong Foundation Skill is most suitable for taking care of Azure Sea Cloud Vine."
