Chapter 484: Peashooter
Chapter 484: Peashooter
Su Yu noticed that Elder Tao seemed to have something to say, but he was in high spirits and decided to speak his mind first.
“Elder, is there currently a high-level cultivator in Yunlu Mountain who excels in cultivating or accelerating plant growth?” Su Yu asked.
Elder Tao temporarily set aside the issue of the terrorists and stroked his beard, replying, “Of course, I’m one of them. Do you think I became a high-level cultivator through pure luck?”
Su Yu was taken aback. “You?”
But then he thought about it. Most of the ancient cultivators who had lived through the ages were emperors, who could use their power to harness the nation’s spiritual energy for their own benefit.
Elder Tao was just a poet who had lived in seclusion in the mountains during his later years. If he hadn’t had exceptional talent or some unique method for cultivating immortal herbs, there was no way he could have defied the natural order and lived so long.
Su Yu felt a surge of joy. “Since you know how to accelerate plant growth, that’s perfect! I just found a way in the game world to obtain golden plant seeds.”
He then recounted the entire story of how Dave had cultivated the golden marigold.
At the end, Su Yu elaborated on the significance of being able to grow golden plants in the real world.
...
Elder Tao listened quietly to Su Yu’s story, his eyes gradually brightening.
After Su Yu finished, Elder Tao exclaimed, “From your description, this is indeed a valuable find! Can I see the seed?”
“Of course!” Su Yu took out the twin sunflower seed and handed it to him.
“This is indeed a robust life force,” Elder Tao said, fondly handling the seed. He nodded and added, “Alright, I’ll help you catalyze this seed right now!”
...
In a secluded valley on the backside of Yunlu Mountain, Elder Tao found a fertile patch of soil and planted the seed.
He then extended his hand, and a jade bottle with a green body appeared in his palm.
He smiled at Su Yu. “Young friend Su Yu, this jade bottle is called the ‘Heaven’s Palm Bottle,’ a magical artifact passed down from the Three Pure Ones. I obtained it by chance during my seclusion in the mountains, which allowed me to form my Golden Core and break through to the Nascent Soul stage, ultimately granting me a lifespan of three thousand years.”
Su Yu was speechless. His mouth twitched. Was the elder really going to reveal such a powerful treasure? Wasn’t he afraid that some unscrupulous cultivator on the mountain might try to steal it?
They were in the valley, but not too far from the Blue Star Base on the mountaintop. If any of the other cultivators were eavesdropping, they would certainly hear their conversation.
Elder Tao seemed to see through Su Yu’s thoughts and chuckled. “Don’t worry, the Heaven’s Palm Bottle isn’t as impressive as it used to be.”
“Due to the depletion of spiritual energy, this artifact has been ineffective for a long time. Even with the recent resurgence of spiritual energy, there isn’t enough to be absorbed. The Heaven’s Palm Bottle can no longer gather sufficient spiritual energy, so its effects are minimal.”
“So far, I’ve only managed to collect a few dozen drops of the liquid that promotes plant growth.”
Elder Tao said this as he poured a single drop of green liquid from the bottle onto the soil above the sunflower seed.
“Based on my judgment, the plant should sprout within 10 seconds!” he said confidently, stroking his beard.
“10 seconds? That’s incredibly fast! No wonder it’s a treasure passed down from the Three Pure Ones!” Su Yu praised, his eyes fixed on the patch of soil where the sunflower was planted.
But to Su Yu’s surprise...
10 seconds passed, and the seed did not break through the soil. The surface remained unchanged.
Even Tao's smile faltered, though he maintained it as best as he could.
Another five seconds passed.
"This can't be right!" Tao was convinced something had gone wrong. He stepped forward and dug up the soil to retrieve the sunflower seed he had buried. Upon inspection, he found that the seed had not changed at all, not even the slightest bit. It seemed as though the spiritual liquid had no effect on it.
"How is this possible?" Tao stared intently at the sunflower seed, using his divine sense to scan its internal structure. This was the first time he had ever seen a spiritual liquid fail to work.
However, Su Yu already knew the reason.
In the game world, all plant seeds, such as Sunflower, Twin Sunflower, and Sun-shroom, had a specific requirement: "Needs Farm Plot." These plants could only grow and sprout on a farm plot; they wouldn't grow or produce Sunlight on any other type of soil.
Other plants, like Peashooter, didn't have this requirement and could grow on any decent soil.
Su Yu had brought the Twin Sunflower seed with a certain gamble in mind, hoping it could grow in the real world. Now, it was clear that it couldn't.
Su Yu sighed softly, stood up, and said, "Tao, it seems there's a problem with this seed. How about this: I'll go back to the game world and bring another seed, and we can try again!"
"Alright, I'll wait here."
About fifteen minutes later, Su Yu returned to Yunlu Mountain with a golden Peashooter seed.
This time, everything was different.
After Tao dripped the spiritual liquid, the seed quickly took root and sprouted. In less than three minutes, the plant fully matured, transforming into a fully grown Peashooter!
Using the Insight spell, Su Yu could see its attributes:
Peashooter
- Type: Plant
- Level: 51 (Max Level 55)
- Growth Stage: Mature
- Remaining Lifespan: 5 days
- Skill: Pea Spit
- Note: The Peashooter's high intelligence and strength have exhausted its full potential as a plant. Its entire life cycle is only 12 days, which is very short.
The Peashooter's growth cycle is divided into four stages:
- Seedling Stage: 3 days (Levels 10-30)
- Growth Stage: 3 days (Levels 30-50)
- Mature Stage: 3 days (Levels 50-55)
- Aging Stage: 3 days (Levels 55-10)
After 12 days, the plant will wither completely.
The mature Peashooter is a third-stage plant, and Su Yu was very satisfied with this! Although the mature stage only lasts three days, and once planted, it cannot be moved, its overall strength is still far inferior to that of a third-stage player. However, the greatest advantage of plants is their sheer number!
The Peashooter doesn't have the restriction of needing a Farm Plot. Under Dave's management, they could potentially plant millions, if not billions, of these plants in the future. With such a large number, including powerful plants like Cherry Bomb and Doom-shroom, they could provide immense help to humanity!
No matter what, this has a very promising future.
Su Yu decided he would have to reward Dave properly when he returned!
