Chapter 1277: Apple Binding
December 26, 2023
Princess Koko gazed at the fully grown apple tree with its bright red fruit and exclaimed, "This is so fast! It's much quicker than planting a new one, right?"
Morningstar, the cat, perched on Su Yu's shoulder, nodded in agreement. "It's definitely many times faster than planting a new one. Even my nature spells can't match this growth rate. But the downside is—"
Morningstar turned to Su Yu. "It must have consumed a lot of resources, right?"
"Exactly, the resource consumption is massive," Su Yu replied. "The tree material is fine; we have that ready. But the amount of spiritual energy required is truly staggering! The same amount of spiritual energy could probably grow ten apple trees for druids."
Creating such plant life requires two things: plant material and spiritual energy.
The plant material is usually the plant itself. For example, when Su Yu created the apple tree, the material came from the apple trees transplanted to Dragon Island a few months ago.
This is similar to melting and reshaping chocolate, but in a biological form.
Of course, plant material can be substituted.
For instance, to create an apple tree, you could use pear or orange trees as substitute materials, adding some essential apple tree components to complete the creation.
Because Su Yu had the apple tree material, he didn't need to consume additional resources, only spiritual energy.
In the future, when creating "New Blue Star Beings," which lack the necessary material, he would have to purchase a lot from the Fig Hub.
The amount of spiritual energy consumed in creating life is indeed alarming. As Su Yu mentioned, creating one apple tree is equivalent to what druids would use to grow ten.
Therefore, the future greening of Blue Star will still rely on druids like Morningstar. The "Eternal Spring" alone can't sustain such heavy consumption.
...
...
"Can we eat these?"
After the apple tree was created, Su Yu distributed the apples to everyone present, giving one to each person (or dragon).
However, looking at the apples in their hands, everyone seemed hesitant.
After all, these weren't naturally grown fruits; they were just created.
It's normal to be wary of food produced through such unusual means.
"Of course, you can eat them," Su Yu reassured them. "Theoretically, they are no different from ordinary apples. It's just a matter of overcoming your psychological barriers. Once you do, there should be no problem."
"I'll give it a try."
As everyone hesitated, Little Tian took the lead.
She closed her eyes and took a small bite of the apple, chewing slowly.
"Mm... it's smooth and quite delicious."
After savoring it, she opened her eyes and looked at everyone. "It tastes just like a normal apple; I can't tell the difference."
"I'll give it a try."
"Me too."
With Little Tian leading the way, everyone else felt more at ease.
Besides, most of them were seventh-rank cultivators or higher (except for the Winged Divine Dragon and Koko), so they weren't worried about any adverse effects.
Everyone started eating the apples in their hands (or claws), savoring the taste.
The dragons, who had never eaten apples before, didn't have much to compare it to.
Emperor Hongwu, Fujiwara Chika, and the others, who had eaten apples before, found that these tasted just like ordinary apples—sweet and juicy.
It seemed there was no need to doubt the creations of the "Eternal Spring."
However, at that moment, Su Yu's expression suddenly changed, becoming serious.
He sensed that as soon as everyone ate the apples, a faint connection formed between them—a very subtle "binding" sensation!
Earlier, Su Yu had been "bound" to the apple tree and the apples.
Now, as the apples were consumed, the "binding" sensation seemed to transfer to everyone present! It was truly remarkable!
