National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 32 Moon Stage
[It is detected that your spiritual plant "Clay Moss" has met the conditions for evolution to the Moon Stage. Please make a choice:]

[Option 1: Ice Moss]

……

[Choice 7: Flame Moss]

……

[Choice 9: Swamp Moss]

……

[Choice 17: Toxic Moss]

……

"I choose ice moss!"

Lin Zhi made a choice, and the relevant recipe immediately appeared in his mind.

The evolutionary materials required for this formula are almost the same as the formula he obtained through studying in the academy.

He had already learned the formula at the academy and prepared the evolution materials, but the reason he still had to use the selection manual to choose was that evolution was not 100% successful. If he went through the process and made a choice, he could rely on the power of the manual and achieve 100% success.

So even though he already had an evolution plan in mind, a formula and had prepared the corresponding materials, he still made his selection through the manual.

[It is detected that your spiritual plant "Wutong" has met the conditions for evolving to the Moon Stage. Please make your choice:]

[Option 1: Floral Paulownia]

[Option 2: Dyeing Tung Oil]

……

[Choice 6: Qifeng Qingtong]

……

[Choice 14: Demon Skin Fatong]

……

"I choose the Phoenix-Qingtong tree."

[It is detected that your spiritual plant "Pea Shooter" has met the conditions for evolving to the Moon Stage. Please make your choice:]

[Option 1: Metal Pea]

[Option 2: Ice Pea]

[Choice 3: Flaming Peas]

……

[Choice 8: Corrupted Peas]

……

"Choose rotten peas"

This was the result of Lin Zhi's careful consideration before. The metal peas enhanced the Pea Shooter's defense, but it was mediocre in all aspects.

The Ice Pea is more inclined towards control, while the Flame Pea is more inclined towards attack. Both have the disadvantages of being fragile and having monotonous attack methods.

The poisonous peas are also fragile, but in addition to their basic attack power, they also have corrosive abilities. If it is a positional battle or a protracted war, as more peas are shot out, the battlefield will be corroded, forming a poisonous fog swamp, making the terrain increasingly unfavorable to the enemy.

……

[It is detected that your spiritual plant "Knowledge Tree" has met the conditions for evolving to the Moon Stage. Please make a choice:]

[Choice 1: Knowledge Tree]

……

[Choice 4: Knowledge Fruit Tree]

……

[Option 8: Knowledge capsule tree]

……

[Choice 12: Demonic Tree of Knowledge]

……

Seeing the choice of the knowledge tree, Lin Zhi hesitated. The other choices were all to strengthen one evolutionary direction of the knowledge tree, turning it into an auxiliary spiritual plant with various magical effects.

Only the knowledge fruit tree has comprehensively enhanced the capabilities of the knowledge tree, without any new changes.

After thinking about it, Lin Zhi decided to follow the established plan and choose the knowledge fruit tree. No matter how good the other plans were, it would be a pity to lose the ability to gain points from the knowledge fruit.

After completing the selection, Lin Zhi began to bury the evolutionary materials to advance the spiritual plants.

Since the manual's selection success rate was 100%, Lin Zhi's four spiritual plants soon reached the Moon Stage.

At this time in the Source Earth Realm, since Lin Zhi's status had reached the Blue Star, there were nine pieces of land, each with an area of ​​one hundred square meters.

Among the four spiritual plants, azure ice moss grew out from the soul soil area, and then spread to the other eight soul soils, covering the surface of the Pea Shooter, the Phoenix Paulownia, and the Knowledge Fruit Tree.

Since spiritual plants belong to the same source soil as forest plants, the ice crystals condensed on the surface of the ice moss cannot freeze other spiritual plants at all.

On the contrary, it can provide a layer of protection for these spiritual plants.

As soon as Lin Zhi thought about it, the ice moss could move and gather according to his thoughts, just like quicksand or mucus, and be formed into various shapes, such as forming a wall of ice moss to block enemy attacks.

For example, after a fungal mat is formed, countless moss hands gather to bind enemies walking on the fungal mat.

"Moon-level spiritual plants are indeed much stronger than star-level ones."

Lin Zhi looked at the Pea Shooter again. At this time, the Pea Shooter was like a ferocious plant monster, covered with gun barrels. Due to corruption, its entire body had turned purple-black. Although it did not shoot peas, corrosive liquid was dripping from the muzzle and leaves onto the ground, emitting a hissing white mist.

In the source earth space, only the Fengqi Qingtong tree grows relatively normally. At the Moon Stage, its trunk is dozens of meters high, with straight and tall green sycamore branches and lush leaves, and a crown covering hundreds of square meters, blocking out the sun.

At this time, countless branches in the tree crown are blooming with countless trumpet-like pink flowers, dyeing the entire sycamore tree into a bronze torch.

These pink flowers bloom one after another, emitting a rich fragrance.

Through some books, Lin Zhi knew that the flower of this Fengqi Qingtong was called "Butterfly-Attracting Flower", which could attract various spiritual butterflies and lay butterfly eggs. These butterfly eggs could hatch spiritual insects that feed on the nectar of the butterfly-attracting flower.

This spiritual insect has high nutritional value. If used by humans, it can be coated with spiritual flour and fried until golden brown. It is not only delicious but also can promote physical cultivation.

It is said that the children of aristocratic families cannot live without spiritual insects for their three meals a day. This is one of the reasons why they are so young but their body refining level is far superior to that of ordinary people.

However, spirit insects have another use, which is to raise poultry.

The profession of gardener is mainly based on spiritual plants, and is subdivided into many branches.

Throughout history, humans have destroyed a world called "Divine Birds".

There is a civilization in the world of divine birds called the "Winged People".

The Winged People can also awaken the Source Earth Realm and obtain Soul Earth to plant spirit seeds.

In accordance with local conditions, most of the spiritual plants planted by the Winged People are tree plants.

Among the tree-type spiritual plants, there are some trees that do not have the ability to fight themselves. The way these trees fight is "parasitism/symbiosis". They use their bodies to provide nests, food, etc. for birds and other life forms, and obtain protection from birds and other life forms.

For example, there is a spiritual plant called the "Elf Tree" that can even give birth to elves itself.

Another example is a spiritual plant called the "breadfruit tree". Its fruit can satisfy hunger, its crown grows into a tree house by itself, and its leaves condense forest dew every day, which can attract forest apes to live in.

There is also a "honey pot tree" whose fruit is a beehive filled with honey. There is often an earth demon bear guarding under the tree.

……

The Chinese Paulownia ovata is a similar tree. It is suitable for the reproduction of various spiritual insects and can therefore attract a large number of birds.

At the same time, this spiritual insect that has eaten the butterfly-attracting nectar can temper the blood of birds and make them evolve towards the direction of the phoenix.

However, this process is still a long way to go.

What Lin Zhi needs to do now is to obtain various spiritual butterflies, lay eggs and build nests on the paulownia trees, and create an environment suitable for the survival of spiritual birds.

Then spiritual birds are introduced to live there.

……

Finally, Lin Zhi checked the other conditions of the four spiritual plants.

He discovered that after reaching the Moon Stage, although the speed at which the spiritual plant absorbed void energy was still very fast, the growth and accumulation of the spiritual plant itself suddenly slowed down.

This is because Moon-level spiritual plants require more nutrients.

With this efficiency, if there is sufficient fertilizer, it can be strengthened once every 10 days and can evolve once every 9 strengthenings.

Lin Zhi silently calculated the cultivation time of the spiritual plants. As long as he waited another three months, he could evolve these four "New Moon" stage spiritual plants to the "Crescent Moon" stage. After half a year, they could evolve to the "Quarter Moon", after nine months, they could evolve to the "Fan Moon", and after a year, they could reach the "Full Moon".

"The training of the Moon Stage is another huge expense."

Lin Zhi walked out of the source earth area and decided to go out and test the wind.

He was eager to gain points and earn resources.

Lin Zhi's first stop was the school cafeteria. He had just ordered his food and found a seat when he was soon surrounded by Ma Baiyun and a few others.

"Brother Lin, what a coincidence, we meet again!"
