Chapter 78 Purple Quality Spiritual Field
After the serfs were ready, Avril ordered the armed servants to open both iron boxes.

The moment the lid of the box was opened, colorful and brilliant light burst out from the box. These hail crystals were all like rainbows, revealing various crystal lights.

Chief Kurt's eyes widened instantly. This dazzling and fantastical item was clearly worth a fortune. He was filled with wonder. How many rare treasures could be found in this small territory?

Su Li didn't care about Kurt's surprise and immediately ordered the serfs and maids: "Bury all these hail crystals in the ridges of the fields!"

At his command, everyone around him immediately took action, quickly taking out all the hail crystals and placing them under each ridge like seeds, and then the people behind them quickly covered the soil.

In order to ensure the concentration of spiritual energy in the land, this field is not cultivated very large, only about 100 square meters in size.

A group of people acted at the same time and soon buried all the hail crystals.

As the fields were leveled, the effects of the hail crystals became immediately apparent.

Looking at the brightly colored farmland, Hildreth exclaimed, "My Lord, the color of this farmland is actually changing."

It was indeed as Hildurd said. As everyone left the farmland, the color here kept changing between red, orange, yellow and green. Finally, after nearly an hour, the color was completely fixed and turned into a purple farmland.

At this time, Chief Kurt finally reacted and was so shocked that he lost his voice: "Purple Spiritual Field!? So this is how the Purple Spiritual Field is cultivated!"

Su Li asked curiously, "Have you seen the purple spiritual field?"

Chief Kurt stared intently at the purple spiritual field before him, which was covered with a faint spiritual glow, and said, "I've heard of many forces possessing purple spiritual fields. But I've only seen one at the Merdheim Griffin Military Academy. In front of the dean's office building at the center of the academy, there's a purple farmland with a Muen Spirit Tree planted on it. This spiritual tree is the dean's treasure. The Muen Spirit Fruit it bears will improve a knight's training with each consumption. Every year, the dean personally awards these fruits to outstanding students within the academy. They are also their most precious gifts to other friendly forces."

After saying this, Chief Kurt looked at Su Li excitedly and asked, "Master Su Li, do you know what it means for you to own this piece of purple farmland?"

Does this mean that I can also become the dean and personally guide the beautiful female students in their knight training in my own room?
Without waiting for Su Li to answer, Kurt said excitedly, "This means that if you find another spiritual plant of exceptional quality, you will become a legendary figure renowned throughout the mortal world! All you need now is a little bit of luck!"

"But this is not easy. Spiritual plants usually grow in remote areas and are difficult to find. If there is only one spiritual field without any spiritual plants, its value will be reduced by more than half."

"Luck?" Su Li said with a smile, "I have it in abundance. Besides, don't we still have a four-leaf clover? Let this lucky four-leaf clover bring us a little more luck."

As he spoke, Su Li opened the cloth bag containing clover in his hand. After the spiritual tree was planted here in the future, green grass would grow under the tree, so it would be better to plant the clover seeds first.

After saying that, Su Li stepped forward personally and sprinkled the clover seeds on the spiritual field, and then asked the serfs to cover the clover seeds lightly.

Clover seeds are relatively thin and cannot be buried too deep. The suitable environment for their growth is the surface layer of moist soil.

At present, hail crystals have just been buried in this spiritual field, and the moist soil is just right for clover to germinate. In normal soil, clover can germinate in 10 to 15 days.

After Su Li took his men away and no one was paying attention, the clover seeds on the spiritual field grew into tiny green sprouts the size of a hair in just a few hours.

This is inside the castle wall. Although the wall is just a wooden fence, it is enough to ensure that no outsiders can enter.

Therefore, Su Li was relatively relieved about the safety of the purple spiritual field.

He was only thinking about one thing now, and that was whether to silence Kurt.

When he buried the hail crystals, he had no idea they would have such a powerful effect. He wanted to show Chief Kurt the territory's development potential, increase their Chamber of Commerce's confidence in the territory, and thus attract more Chamber of Commerce investment.

Since ancient times, capital has sought a safe investment environment. If a territory fails to demonstrate its ability to maintain a safe environment, the Chamber of Commerce will undoubtedly worry about the loss of its investment. Head Kurt certainly wouldn't want the numerous workshops, shops, and businesses they've invested in to be reduced to ash in a monster raid.

But now it seems that this display was a bit too much!

The value of this purple spiritual field is a bit too high. If Kurt leaks the news, there is a high probability that it will attract the covetousness of other forces.

However, after only a moment's thought, Su Li gave up on this absurd idea. Not to mention that the territory currently only had purple spiritual fields and no spiritual plants, which would be of little use to others. Finding a spiritual plant and successfully transplanting it here was no easy task.

More importantly, hiding it alone probably wouldn't be enough. How long had he been in the Black Forest Territory? Less than a month, and the territory had already amassed so many coveted treasures. In another two or three months, who knew how many more coveted treasures would emerge? Even a single leak would attract the attention of ambitious individuals. He couldn't just isolate himself from the world just because he had treasures, could he? Even if he wanted to find a secluded valley to farm until he could leave the mountains, the green dragon wouldn't let him.

So instead of being timid, it is better to strengthen yourself openly, attract investment and make yourself so strong that others dare not covet you.

Chief Kurt was clearly unaware of Su Li's dangerous thoughts. Still immersed in shock, he said with longing, "If you can contact the elves, you must try to obtain a spiritual plant. Your territory is remote and far from other territories, so news won't easily leak out, and it will be even harder for an army to come and threaten your territory. I believe your territory will have great prospects for development."

"If you attract another knight order to your territory, with a force of several thousand men, your castle will be virtually invulnerable. Compared to the losses they would incur by attacking your castle, other factions will likely choose a more peaceful settlement."

Su Li was about to reply when Fandral's voice came from a distance: "Lord, we have returned safely, and we have brought back 17 amethyst grapevines."

"Amethyst vines?" Chief Kurt widened his eyes. Could this territory be a gathering place for rare items?

How could they obtain so many precious items in the early stages of the territory's development?
He couldn't help but wonder how many treasures could be gathered here if they were given a year or two to develop.

Perhaps this will be a treasure trove for the West Chamber of Commerce! They can continuously sell all kinds of rare treasures here to all over the world.

Even the entire West County will benefit from it.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He absolutely could not let this territory perish. Establishing a good relationship with this territory would be like gaining a fortune tree for the Chamber of Commerce.

He had even decided that he had to keep this secret a secret, not even from anyone else within the Chamber of Commerce. It was best to maintain a situation where the higher-ups paid attention to the situation but didn't know too much about it. Otherwise, they might be tempted to interfere in the deal, and he would be eliminated.

For the rest of the day, Kurt's mood kept changing between anxiety and excitement, which surprised the maids in the castle. They secretly discussed whether this foreign businessman had the ability to change his face.

Su Li did not pay attention to the excitement of the Chamber of Commerce leader, because he would come to the reservoir with his political officer and agriculture minister in the afternoon.

At this time, Laun was holding a millstone-sized river clam in his hand. If he had not come from a military academy and had a well-trained body, he really would not be able to lift this huge magic tide river clam.

At this time, the river clam was emitting a blue light all over its body, and it was obvious that the light came from the fist-sized magic pearl inside the river clam!
Avril followed behind Su Li, hiding her lips and giggling, saying, "Fortunately, the Chamber of Commerce's head, Kurt, is not here, otherwise he would have made a fuss and changed color again."

Everyone around Su Li was smiling, and the knights even raised their chins in pride. While this Demonic Tide Clam was incredibly magical, shrouded in a faint blue light and possessing a powerful energy, ordinary people would rarely see it and would undoubtedly be amazed and onlookers. However, as the lord's retainers, they were already accustomed to such scenes.

The Lord possesses incredible abilities and can lead his followers to find all kinds of priceless treasures.

The Minister of Agriculture, Archdruid Fandral, was trembling with excitement at the moment. He had set out for the Mirror Swamp in the morning and had no idea about the magic pearl. When he suddenly saw this huge magic tide clam, he clenched his fists excitedly and a smile bloomed on his old face.

"Lord! With this Demonic Tide Clam, the fish in the reservoir will surely thrive. The Lightscale Fish will have no shortage of energy for reproduction, and their breeding cycle will be greatly accelerated. I'm afraid the strength of our territory will be further greatly improved in the near future!"

At the end, the archdruid couldn't help but raise his voice, unable to conceal his excitement and joy.

It is not easy for light-scaled fish to reproduce. It should be said that the more energy a magical beast has in its body, the more difficult it is to reproduce. They need a longer time to search around and obtain energy.

It's not that other forces haven't tried to raise light-scale fish, but the light-scale fish in most fish ponds would die soon, and the pond would become a pool of stagnant water. A large number of fish would turn white and die on the water surface, which would only benefit the vultures and dog-headed men.

This is because the energy, nutrients, etc. in the fish pond have been absorbed by the light-scaled fish.

The Hessen Territory was able to feed the two light-scaled fish by relying on the life magic of the Dawn Church's priest, Archdruid Fandral, who constantly communicated with the light-scaled fish and provided them with energy and comfort.

But this can only barely ensure that the light-scaled fish survive. If they want to reproduce, they will need to accumulate for a long time.

But now with this Magic Tide Clam, it will greatly increase the spiritual energy of the water in the reservoir. It can be said that the less fluid the water in the pond is, the higher the accumulated spiritual energy content, and the easier it is to accelerate the reproduction cycle of the light-scale fish.

Even when the purity of spiritual energy is relatively high, some ordinary fish may be transformed into light-scaled fish.
