The First Immortal of Destiny-Chapter 501: Trade with the Flower Fairy _1
Flower Fairy Ami held the jade slip, which was larger than her body, and began to read it earnestly.
Suddenly, her face lit up with surprise. She flew up to Shen Mo’s nose, twirling delightedly. "Moro Shen, Moro Shen, do you have all these rare flowers and exotic grasses? How should we trade?"
Shen Mo offered a slight smile, gently pushing Ami a little farther away; her movements were starting to make him dizzy.
Judging by her reaction, there’s a high chance of striking this deal!
The Jade Pool Dungeon of the Riverside Sect was the result of over a thousand years of accumulation. It hosted more than eighty percent of the spiritual plants from the Red Flame Zone, except for those that required extremely harsh conditions.
From what he knew, in the past two years, the Flower Fairy clan’s search had only covered half of You State. It would probably take them decades of hard work to collect all the rare flowers and exotic grasses from the entire Red Flame Zone. Even after decades, their collection might still be incomplete!
After all, the situation in this domain had changed drastically compared to the past. Many areas had either become forbidden lands, were occupied by creatures from the Outer Zone, or were haunted by Evil Spirits.
Even worse, in Qing State, most of the territory had been devoured by Soaring Serpents. Consequently, many unique spiritual plants native to Qing State could no longer be found in the Outer Realm. Only places like the Jade Pool Dungeon and the spiritual medicine fields of various Immortal Sects still cultivated them!
That’s why Shen Mo felt confident about trading with the Flower Fairy clan.
He then revealed a little information about the Jade Pool Realm to Ami. He also informed her that he couldn’t provide these spiritual medicines at the moment and that they would discuss it further upon his return from the northern region.
"Alright, Ami understands." The Flower Fairy nodded seriously, then, holding the jade slip of spiritual plants, she transformed into a streak of light and flew towards Fairy Flower Valley.
"I have to go back to my clan to consult with the Big Moros! Wait for me for a while, Moro Shen."
The Flower Fairy clan members were like siblings to each other. The ’Big Moro’ Ami referred to meant ’elder brother’ or ’elder sister.’ These must be the Class IV and Class V powerhouses in her clan, those who could make final decisions on important matters!
He didn’t have to wait long; merely an hour later, Flower Fairy Ami returned.
"Moro Shen, the Big Moros have agreed to your trading proposal!" She hadn’t even reached Shen Mo when she ecstatically used her Divine Sense to pass on the good news.
As she got closer, she took out a rice grain-sized bead from her bosom and presented it to Shen Mo.
Although he didn’t know what the bead was made of, this wasn’t Shen Mo’s first time dealing with the Flower Fairies. He knew that these rice grain-sized beads served a similar function to jade slips; both were carriers of vast amounts of information.
He then extended a finger, pinched the rice grain-sized bead between his fingertips, and a strand of his sense delved into it.
"These... So many remarkable flowers and grasses are growing in Fairy Flower Valley!" A mixture of surprise and joy surged within Shen Mo, and he couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
The native spiritual plants of the Red Flame Zone were one thing, mostly varieties from You State. However, the rice grain-sized bead recorded many more types of spiritual plants that Shen Mo had never seen or heard of, clearly originating from the Outer Zone.
Their quantity was more than ten times that within the Jade Pool Realm.
Even with Shen Mo’s powerful soul, it took him considerable effort to digest all the information about these flowers and grasses from the Outer Zone.
"The Big Moros once said that the number of rare flowers and exotic grasses our clan possessed historically... was much greater than now, at least dozens of times more.
"However, every time we move, most of the flowers, grasses, and trees can’t adapt to the new environment and eventually go extinct.
"What you see now, Moro Shen, these are all the assets our clan has accumulated over countless years, bit by bit!" Flower Fairy Ami said, a touch of pride yet regret in her voice.
A glint flashed in Shen Mo’s eyes as he caught several key pieces of information from Ami’s words.
Fairy Flower Valley’s arrival in the Red Flame Zone was clearly not their first ’move.’ Every time they moved, a large number of their transplanted spiritual plants would go extinct... So, these extraordinary plants I’m seeing now might not just be the native spiritual plants from the Flower Fairy clan’s original world. They could be an essence, gathered from multiple worlds, that survived natural selection and adapted to new environments! The Flower Fairy clan is so dedicated to collecting all kinds of rare flowers, exotic grasses, and spirit wood; perhaps this is also one of the reasons. If all the extraordinary plants in Fairy Flower Valley were to go extinct after their next ’move,’ the Flower Fairy clan itself would very likely be unable to survive. Only by visiting a new world and doing their utmost to collect and transplant more spiritual plants can they ensure that more extraordinary plants survive the next move, thereby guaranteeing the clan’s continuation!
While Shen Mo was deep in thought, Ami chirped, "Moro Shen, we can’t give you all of these, you know! You can only exchange for an equivalent number of rare flowers and exotic grasses." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"Of course!" Shen Mo returned with a smile and then began to make his selection with focused attention.
He first excluded the varieties the Flower Fairies had collected from You State within the Red Flame Zone.
Ninety percent of these spiritual plants were already cultivated in the Jade Pool Dungeon. The rest, Shen Mo could obtain through personal collection, purchasing from various immortal workshops, or trading with the Seven Stars Altar.
Exchanging for these varieties held little meaning!
Next were the rare flowers and exotic grasses from the Outer Zone.
Since they had survived even after Fairy Flower Valley’s arrival in the Red Flame Zone, their adaptability was unquestionable; they could survive and reproduce even if transplanted into the Jade Pool Realm.
The main considerations were their characteristics: could they be used for Alchemy? Would they be useful? Were they valuable and rare...?
With Shen Mo’s experience as a Grade IV Alchemist, although he couldn’t precisely identify the use of every single spiritual plant, his judgment was generally accurate.
After careful selection, Shen Mo picked out a number of varieties equal to those on the list he had given Ami, and he took out another jade slip to record them.
Then, Flower Fairy Ami, once again holding the jade slip larger than herself, flew back to Fairy Flower Valley with a FLUTTER of her wings.
Having successfully struck a deal with the Flower Fairy clan, Shen Mo was in high spirits.
Once he obtained the parent spiritual plants from the Outer Zone, he could transplant them into the Jade Pool Realm and entrust them to Elder Li for management. Given the accelerated time flow in the Jade Pool Dungeon, it wouldn’t take long for the spiritual plants to mature and their medicinal efficacy to increase, making them perfectly usable!
By that time, simply selling these spiritual materials would be enough to make a fortune. I wouldn’t even need to put much effort into researching the uses of each spiritual plant. I’d just need to harvest them, process them to halt their ability to reproduce and differentiate, and then sell them directly. There would surely be cultivators willing to spend a large amount of Spirit Stone resources to purchase these spiritual medicines from me and painstakingly research their uses! Among them, skilled Alchemists like Zhao Lingyin’s Master, Wu Gong, would likely be the main buyers. After all, the greatest use of rare spiritual plants is in Alchemy... Possessing a unique Elixir formula could yield astonishing profits. And in the Red Flame Zone, cultivators who master the art of Alchemy are the wealthiest group. Once I control such a monopolistic path to wealth, I won’t have to worry about cultivation resources after my Core Formation. Even the Sect Disciples in the Riverside Sect’s subsidiary courtyard could benefit!
