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

Chapter 47: Creep Farm
Lin Zhi was shocked when he saw the fungus farm in front of him.

The ice moss that originally covered the entire front yard changed from azure blue to flesh-red. Clusters of moss plants became fleshy and pinholes appeared at the top.

Deep in the Soul Soil, hollow tubes are connected to the moss on the surface, forming chambers deep in the Soul Soil.

On the ground, the Pea Shooter had just attacked a group of ants, but before they could be completely corroded, the moss turned into a big hand, which pulled the ant corpses into the hollow tube and transported them to a chamber deep in the Soul Soil.

The corpse melted in the chamber, turned into nutrient solution and was absorbed by the cavity wall. A scene that shocked Lin Zhi happened.

As the nutrient solution was absorbed, the mosses on the surface suddenly expanded and grew into red umbrella-shaped mushrooms.

"This is red iron mushroom!"

Lin Zhi subconsciously looked at the blood-sucking ants at the door. He remembered that the blood-sucking ants were parasitic in their bodies with the spores of the red iron mushroom.

A large part of the previous book was about theoretical knowledge on how to mutate farms, and there was no description of farms that had successfully mutated.

Lin Zhi was really surprised. It turned out that the fungus mat farm was to decompose and digest the corpses of wild beasts, and then give birth to spore-based spiritual plants.

He came to the red iron mushroom, picked it off, and looked at it in his hand.

"This is real red iron mushroom!"

Lin Zhi moved his mind, and the moss under his feet grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it grew into a large patch of red iron mushrooms.

"It's amazing. As long as we collect the relevant spores once, we can quickly grow the corresponding fungi if we have enough resources."

Lin Zhi understood and was filled with joy.

Because compared to directly decomposing and destroying the corpses of wild beasts, using fungal mat farms to cultivate fungal plants is more cost-effective.

If it is directly decomposed and the utilization rate is 20%, the fungal farm can increase the utilization rate to 80%.

However, the material processing method taught by Meng Xingchen can maximize the value of every bit of the material by 99%.

"Red iron mushrooms are excellent ingredients for body refining. Adding silver chicken to the chicken and mushroom stew will allow ordinary people to cultivate to the Green Chen realm in just one year."

Lin Zhi sighed, if his previous life had been rich, he would have drunk chicken stewed with mushrooms for more than ten years and his physical strength would not have been only at the Green Chen realm when he took the college entrance examination.

Before Lin Zhi could finish his sigh, he discovered new changes in the fungal farm.

Suddenly, it opened its bloody mouth at the place where the surface was connected to the cavity of the tube, emitting an inexplicable fragrance.

Then Lin Zhi discovered that the blood-sucking demon ants that were originally rushing forward suddenly changed direction and crawled towards these bloody mouths.

However, because the output of Old Phlegm Pea was too fast, they could not get beyond the limit.

Lin Zhi had no choice but to make a bold decision and order it to stop attacking.

A strange scene appeared. Without the fire suppression in front, these blood-sucking demon ants no longer ran towards Lin Zhi, but scrambled to crawl into the bloody mouth formed by the fungal farm.

Lin Zhi suddenly thought of a plant in his mind - pitcher plant.

This fungus farm is so similar to it!

The blood-sucking demon ant crawled into the bloody mouth, then slid down the hollow tube and fell into the chamber deep in the soul soil, where it was squeezed, digested, and absorbed.

However, these insects have no thoughts and act entirely on instinct, and they are still fearless of death.

The battle that Lin Zhi originally felt was difficult and he felt more and more distressed about the resources was easily resolved by the fungus farm.

"Why do I feel like this thing is the Zerg nemesis!"

Lin Zhi smiled, but didn't dare to be careless.

Because the Fungus Farm has a big weakness, which is the limited ability to store nutrients and the limited size of the warehouse in the Forest Tree House...

In simple terms:
The disadvantage is that you might get "overfed to death".

Fortunately, the ants in this ant nest were not endless. Before nightfall, the remaining blood-sucking demon ants retreated like a tide. Lin Zhi collected the source earth domain and followed the ants alone. After walking about a few thousand meters, he saw a dirt hill as big as a gymnasium.

There are honeycomb-like holes on the earthen hill, which are large enough for a person to pass through. There are many blood-sucking demon ants coming in and out from all directions.

Lin Zhi had sharp eyes and saw that the magic ants coming from one direction were carrying pieces of red ore.

He leaped forward and appeared above the ant's head. He quickly grabbed the ore with his hand and then leaped away from the ant nest.

After stabilizing his body, Lin Zhi spread out his palms to check the ore. He saw that the ore was fiery red in color, and the surface of the ore was covered with fine lines, as densely packed as fish scales.

"This... this is Scale Fire Magnesium, one of the extraordinary metals!"

A happy smile broke out on Lin Zhi's face.

Human civilization has come into contact with at least eight thousand worlds. Although the ecological environments and life forms are different, they seem to be from the same lineage.

For example, the basic laws of physics, the world tree that exists in every world, and the gardener system possessed by the civilization that dominates the world are all similar.

There are many similarities among the various natural treasures and precious materials produced in the world.

This extraordinary metal is one of them.

Moreover, in human civilization, the material of extraordinary metal is far more valuable than other materials.

Because the core spiritual plant of human civilization is the technology tree.

The technology tree brings "mechanical" spiritual plants.

Unlike the cultivation of other spiritual plants, mechanical spiritual plants love to "eat" stones and metals.

Extraordinary metal is a resource for strengthening, evolving, and healing many mechanical spiritual plants.

At Yujun University, 1 point can be exchanged for one unit of smelted metal ingot.

That is to say, one piece of extraordinary metal ingot is worth 10,000

Lin Zhi looked further away, and through the forest, he saw a red mountain just around the corner.

He activated Leap and Speed, followed the direction of the ants crawling, and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain, where he immediately deployed the Source Earth Field.

Because he found that there were overwhelming blood-sucking demon ants around this mountain.

If there were only a few blood-sucking demon ants, he could easily deal with them relying solely on his body training. But if there were a large number of them, he would have to rely on spiritual plants.

As soon as the source soil area was opened, the fungal farm suddenly became active, and the insect-attracting fragrance spread. The ants that were mining ore immediately turned around and crawled towards the forest excitedly.

The fungus farm is quietly spread out in the front yard of the tree house, opening its bloody mouth to welcome the arrival of the ants.

Just like before, these ants were completely unaware of the danger and fell into the trap.

This process lasted until the first half of the night, and Lin Zhi harvested more than 40,000 tons of red iron mushrooms.

When the ants near the mountain peak became sparse, Lin Zhi dared to retract the origin of the earth and look at the mountain in front of him with the help of the bright moonlight.

There were deep holes everywhere on the mountain, and from time to time ants came out from them carrying Scale Fire Magnesium Ore.

The mine is narrow, which is not conducive to the development of the source soil field. Lin Zhi does not dare to take the risk and go down the cave himself.

He could only pick up the scattered Scale Fire Magnesium Ore at the foot of the mountain, then expand the Source Earth Domain and return to the tree house to rest.

As for the details of continuing to practice Yin and Yang with Fu Hua, there is no need to tell outsiders.

The next day, when Lin Zhi woke up in the morning and walked out of the tree house, he saw Meng Xingchen, who was thousands of feet tall.
