——————————

Pei Xin Agricultural University, located at the outermost area of Pei Xin City, the entire university resembles a small city, where many different types of trees are planted, and vast fields for medicinal plants and crops are developed.

Following the associate professor from Pei Xin Agricultural University, who introduced himself as Li Wei, Gu Xi was led to an open space in the university district.

Outside this open space, Gu Xi saw three men dressed like teachers.

A tender green aura flickered at their feet, clearly indicating they had reached Level 20 as Advanced Players.

”Young friend, let me introduce you. This is Liu Zengqiang, the president of Pei Xin Agricultural University, a Level 27 Great Druid.

This is Professor Li Fei, Head of the Department of Woody Plants, a Level 25 Great Druid.

This is Shi Fang·Cao Mu, Head of the Department of Herbal Medicine, a Level 20 Tree-man Druid.

Upon coming here, I’ve already told them about your situation, and they’re also interested in studying the ancient formula you brought.”

Gu Xi nodded, not saying much more, as he had already expressed his request on the way. He could provide the planting method and a seed for Pei Xin Agricultural University to study.

In return, Gu Xi wanted a simplified planting plan for the Grass Returning Pill.

Gu Xi’s request was simple.

He hoped to mass-produce the Grass Returning Pill, and the time for its growth must be reduced to at least blooming, fruiting, and maturing once a year. Most importantly, planting a single tree shouldn’t trap a person.

This way, Gu Xi could collect a large number of Grass Returning Pills in a short time.

It might even become a flagship product of Yalidu City.

As for if the Grass Returning Pill would drop to Green Quality after simplification, Gu Xi didn’t mind at all.

In the last world, Blue Quality Grass Returning Pills were looked down upon due to the high ceiling of abilities.

But in the world deep inside the game, Green Quality is already quite a decent medication for players below Level 10.

If it can be mass-produced and taken long-term, it would still be sought after.

Gu Xi’s intention was precisely this.

Gu Xi believed that with the planting method of Grass Returning Pill plus a seed, exchanging it for ten thousand simplified saplings shouldn’t be an issue.

If not, then five thousand, no, even three thousand would do.

However, Gu Xi didn’t expect the people from Pei Xin Agricultural University to take it so seriously, with not only the two department heads related to the Grass Returning Pill coming over but also their president.

This made Gu Xi have to become serious as well.

He adjusted his clothes and addressed the three professors.

”Hello, professors.”

”Hello, no need to be formal. Can you let me see the ancient formula?”

Li Fei was the first to speak.

Although the other two didn’t say much, their reaction was the same.

They were all eager to see the ancient formula and the seed.

This was something Gu Xi had arranged on his way over. With a shake of his hand, a freshly copied formula appeared in his hand.

Simultaneously, a lead box appeared, containing a seed of the Grass Returning Pill.

As the box was taken out, Gu Xi felt his hand lighten as Liu Zengqiang took the box.

The remaining two looked at the formula and planting method of the Grass Returning Pill, expressing a speechless reaction to its planting and upgrade requirements.

Upon opening the box, Liu Zengqiang merely closed his eyes and sensed some inherent information from the Grass Returning Pill seed.

He also understood that the seed Gu Xi obtained was a simplification of an Immortal Tree, simplified countless times.

Even Gu Xi couldn’t plant it himself and had to seek him out for further seed simplification.

He was determined to help with this.

Closing the box, Liu Zengqiang told Gu Xi, ”Young friend, our agricultural school has a secret technique for dividing thousands of saplings from a single seed. The seed in your hand is of intact appearance and vigorous vitality.

Although I haven’t conducted further research, I can judge that we can definitely produce twelve thousand saplings if you only need Green Quality saplings.

However, to ensure all saplings are of Green Quality, our school needs to invest significant resources, and the saplings require time to grow. Accelerating growth requires additional resources.

Therefore, we can only give you half of the saplings produced.

That would be six thousand saplings.

We need further research to determine if any issues will arise during the sapling division process.”

”Yes, young friend, after skimming through the ancient formula, I personally believe from my experience that the Five Elements described in the formula and the subsequent tree upgrade issues are actually special resources required by the tree.

Though I haven’t planted one myself, I personally feel the fruits from this tree may have a variety of effects.

Could it possibly be called the Ten Thousand Effects Pill?

I think the initial goal of this tree was an all-encompassing direction.

Personally, if the all-encompassing requirement isn’t that strong, focusing on one Five Elements direction is enough.

However, just from the formula, it’s hard to determine which kind corresponds to what effect.

Personal planting is essential to figure it out.”

Shi Fang explained, as he was notably the expert in the herbal aspect at Pei Xin Agricultural University and an authority in pharmacology.

Li Fei also nodded beside him, ”Additionally, I discovered certain restrictions with this tree because I haven’t studied it in detail, so much remains unknown.

But on a personal note, whether it’s the rule requiring someone to guard the tree or the rule about tree promotion, it seems like a fusion between the tree and the planter.

This fusion seems to turn the planter into one with the tree.

Actually, breaking this can be achieved by not consuming the first batch of fruit.”

Upon hearing Li Fei’s explanation, Gu Xi suddenly asked, ”Is it possible that the tree eventually devours the planter, absorbing smaller trees into larger ones, finally pushing its growth to breakthrough to Orange Quality?”

Upon Gu Xi’s question, the three on-site fell silent.

They all understood that what Gu Xi mentioned was a distinct possibility.

And they also knew how much impact an Orange Quality fruit tree would have on Pei Xin Agricultural University.

However, they equally understood how much time and how many planters it would take to actually cultivate such a tree.

All this might not be worth it.

It’s regrettable.

If not for this restriction, they might have been able to grow an Orange Quality fruit tree, which would definitely push their university ranking a few places higher.

Now that dream is hard to achieve.

Nonetheless, having six thousand special fruit trees still represents an improvement for their university.

As long as they can fulfill Gu Xi’s needs, the rest would belong entirely to them.
