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

Chapter 53 Golden Stalagmites
After Lin Zhi finished reading the six options given in the manual, he chose the sixth option - golden stalagmite - without thinking.

If it were in the past, Lin Zhi would have hesitated for a long time about choosing a spiritual plant, because he lacked knowledge and didn't know which spiritual plant had better potential.

But now, with the help of the fruits of knowledge, Lin Zhi has become "learned and knowledgeable" and has a clear understanding of all kinds of Lin Zhi.

The golden stalagmite is a kind of industrial mechanical spiritual plant, which is not classified as a commonly used spiritual plant.

Spiritual plants are divided into common, rare in ten years, once in a hundred years, once in a thousand years, and once in ten thousand years according to their rarity. This is a verbal statement.

The official evaluation of the rarity of spiritual plants is: common, rare, precious, seldom seen, unique, and unparalleled.

The golden stalagmite is a spiritual plant that is so precious that it is rare.

At present, Lin Zhi has only seen the Tree of Knowledge, a spiritual plant that can reach the rare rarity of the Star Stage.

Of course, the rarity of a spiritual plant only means that the spiritual plant is extremely rare, and it cannot represent the potential of the spiritual plant.

The biggest reason why Lin Zhi chose it immediately was that it could take root deep underground, absorb the extraordinary substances in the lava, and form extraordinary metal bamboo shoots.

It can evolve into purple thunder bamboo, wind and rain root, five-color bamboo forest and other rare spiritual plants.

These evolved bodies can also produce extremely difficult to obtain and very precious resources.

What is the most expensive thing in the world?
It's a resource!
Human scientists have studied hundreds of worlds and found that the resources on the surface combined are less than one percent of those in the core and the seabed.

The resources in the core of the earth far exceed those on the surface.

However, it is extremely difficult to obtain resources from the core and the seabed. Even the strong ones with divine rings cannot withstand the pressure from the seabed and the core.

The only way for humans to obtain resources from the seabed and the core of the earth is to wait for volcanic eruptions and crustal movements.

For example, now, there are almost no resources on the surface of the Black Ice Continent within the Great Wall, but deep underground, the core lava is an unimaginable treasure trove.

The lava contains rich solutions of metals, gemstones, and rare earth elements.

It is truly incredible that golden stalagmites can take root in the earth's core and obtain resources.

After it advances, for example, it evolves into a purple thunder bamboo, which can absorb thunder and lightning between heaven and earth and obtain the extremely difficult to obtain "power of thunder".

If it evolves into flaming bamboo, it can breed fire.

After evolving into the Wind and Rain Root, it can collect various sacred waters, such as Weak Water, Fountain of Life, and Heavenly Dew.

The higher you go in the evolutionary path of golden stalagmites, the more and more precious resources can be produced.

Without resources, it is impossible to transform spiritual plants into combat power.

Therefore, Lin Zhi had his reasons for choosing the golden stalagmite.

As the selection was completed, the spiritual seeds buried in the soil in the source land began to sprout.

Unlike other spiritual plants, Lin Zhi did not see any golden stalagmites sprouting.

Fortunately, within the source soil area, he could see through the source soil and discovered that the spirit seeds had already sprouted deep in the soil.

He quickly poured the boiled metal juice on it.

As nutrients are injected, the seedlings grow rapidly and form a section of bamboo roots.

With the addition of the red soil, the bamboo roots absorb the nutrients provided by the forest plants and the energy and matter captured by the source soil from the void, and grow rapidly.

Bamboo roots emerged from the main root and new bamboo roots grew.

As it grows, the fungal farm's lumen immediately shrinks the space it occupies to make way for the bamboo roots.

Soon, in less than two hours, bamboo roots filled the underground space of this source land.

Countless bamboo roots intertwined and struggled downwards until they passed through the hundred-meter-thick source soil and pierced into the void.

Under normal circumstances, if the spiritual plants are not protected by source soil and their roots are directly exposed to the void, they will be crushed and destroyed by the chaotic energy.

However, the bamboo roots that could withstand the smelting of magma were not affected in the void and continued to grow wildly.

The chaotic energy in the void that had not yet been refined by the source earth formed whirlpools under its absorption and poured in madly.

At the same time, the bamboo roots absorbed the substances in the source soil and spread in the void. The forest plant moved a large amount of fertilizer and scale fire magnesium from the warehouse for it to absorb.

In addition to energy, various substances are essential for the growth of spiritual plants.

Matter is the key to the composition of the spiritual plant body. The material required by mechanical spiritual plants is a large amount of extraordinary metal.

Fortunately, Lin Zhi now has more than 400 cubic meters of scale fire magnesium.

He first put in about 100 cubic meters, which was quickly melted by the bamboo roots and decomposed into the most basic metal ions, and then combined with other nutrients through energy to form new required substances.

Finally, when almost one-fifth of the day had passed, the bamboo roots stopped growing, and then the choices given in the manual appeared on the panel in front of Lin Zhi.

[Your spiritual plant has reached a growth bottleneck. You can choose five abilities to complete the evolution immediately.]

[Option 1: Super-speed growth]

[Option 2: Crazy Absorption]

[Option 3: Bamboo shoots are fat and have strong roots]

[Option 4: flawless bamboo shoots]

[Choice 5: Soft Jade Purple Leaf]

[Choice 6: Poisonous Bamboo Root]

[Choice 7: Golden Bamboo Shoots and Jade Leaves]

[Choice 8: Earth Escape Technique]

[Option 9: Immune to high pressure]

[Choice 10: Immune to Fire]

Finally, after careful comparison and combining the knowledge about stalagmites in his mind, Lin Zhi chose the five evolutionary abilities of super-speed growth, fat and strong roots of stalagmites, earth escape technique, immunity to high pressure, and immunity to fire.

Among them, fat bamboo shoots and strong roots are the basic abilities, and super-speed growth ensures that its root system can grow faster. After all, there is plenty of room in the void for it to grow freely.

Immunity to high pressure and fire element is to be able to penetrate deep into the earth's core. The reason why golden stalagmites can absorb underground lava is inseparable from these two core abilities. This is a must.

As for the earth escape technique, it can speed up the time for the bamboo roots to enter and exit the earth's core.

After all, any world in this life is hundreds of times larger than the Earth in the previous life, and the core of the earth is about 10,000 kilometers deep, which is almost equivalent to the diameter of the Earth in the previous life.

If the golden stalagmites were allowed to grow naturally, it would take several months to reach the Earth's core.

It is different with the earth escape technique. After Zhugen comprehends the reality from the source earth, he can directly escape into the earth and penetrate deep into the earth's core at the speed of light.

This process only takes one 30th of a second!
Of course, the prerequisite is that the roots of the golden stalagmite first grow 1 kilometers in the source soil field.

According to Lin Zhi's understanding, the evolution method of the golden stalagmite is rather special, which may be related to its extremely rare star rank.

First of all, at the star level, it can evolve five abilities just by growing naturally, without the need for additional evolutionary materials. This is special.

Secondly, it evolves to the Moon Stage, which also does not require evolutionary materials, but only requires absorbing magma.

Finally, it is its growth, mainly the growth of the root system, and this process is much slower than that of ordinary spiritual plants.

Lin Zhi's red soil has a thousand-fold time bonus for the growth of star-level spiritual plants. Theoretically, with sufficient fertilizer and spiritual energy, it only takes 0.285 days to evolve the spiritual seeds from bud to the moon level.

This does not apply to the golden stalagmite. Now, more than half a day has passed since the spiritual seed was planted, and it has only reached the level of a five-star spiritual plant.

There is still a long way to go before the root system can grow to 10,000 kilometers.

Lin Zhi buried the remaining 300 cubic meters of Scale Fire Magnesium Metal into the source soil, and then left the source soil area.

He estimated that even if it could evolve to super-speed growth, it would still take the golden stalagmite at least 10 days to grow its taproot to kilometers.

After planting the golden stalagmite, Lin Zhi took out the remaining two spirit seeds.
