Vol.2 – Chapter 7 – Seek seed


The next morning, when Chu Liang opened his eyes, he sensed that something was wrong.

He first put down the spirit beast egg in his hand. Last night, he slept while hatching the egg, and he had been holding it the whole time, diligently fulfilling the duties of a male mother.

Then he stood up and walked to the window, looking at the golden rain outside… it’s raining again?

Why does it keep raining?

Everyone on Shu Mountain looked at this rain, and many people were puzzled.

Why is it Silver Sword Peak again?

Could it be that the true dragon has spirit and wants to flood the tyrant of Shu Mountain on Silver Sword Peak?

The disciples of Shu Mountain couldn’t help but pray in their hearts, True Dragon, True Dragon, please open your eyes.

This level of rain cannot drown her. You should go somewhere else and let us experience it.

After Chu Liang finished washing up, the rain also stopped. The time was still short, and the amount was not large, but it was all essence.

He went out to take a look at the small field of golden patterned flowers. Yesterday, he planted a batch of Dragon Breath Golden Patterned Berries. He harvested more than thirty fruits from a dozen flowers in total.

The growth of plants stimulated by the spirit of grass and trees also had its limits. In the case of limited soil fertility, it couldn’t be used every day. It was bearable to stimulate it once every seven days. So now, there were no fruits in the flower field, only a patch of useless flowers.

Chu Liang measured the surrounding land with his eyes, thinking that if he expanded the scale of the flower field by seven times, he would be able to rotate the harvest every day.

Establish a fallow rotation system for the land and develop sustainable ecological agriculture.

For some reason, although he had never planted crops before, he felt particularly familiar with the process of sowing and harvesting yesterday.

After envisioning the appearance of a large flower field in the future, he left Silver Sword Peak. He had something to do today.

He flew all the way to Red Cotton Peak and arrived at the small market in Shu Mountain.

It was still as prosperous as usual here, with many familiar faces. When they saw Chu Liang, they greeted him warmly, “Long time no see!”

“There have been several tea sellers these days, cheaper than yours, but not as delicious as yours…”

“I just like your taste! Um… the taste of your fruit tea.”

“…”

Chu Liang smiled in response one by one. It seemed that his brand effect had already started, but unfortunately, the fruit tea industry was already being phased out.

He spread out a small blanket and first set up his prepared small sign.

“Promotion: Buy fruit tea, get berries for free.”

“Specialty of Silver Sword Peak: Dragon Breath Golden Patterned Berries, beautifying for women, invigorating for men.”

The people who came with him to buy fruit tea found it strange, “What does this mean? These berries of yours…”

“It’s this kind of fruit.” Chu Liang took out a berry and placed it next to the fruit tea, smiling, “You can have a taste for free when you buy fruit tea.”

“Hehe, that’s great.” Everyone expressed their approval.

Anyway, they were originally going to buy fruit tea, so having a free gift was definitely better than having none, and this gift looked good, with full juice and big and round.

“Wow, today’s fruit tea has different flavors.” Someone exclaimed, as if they had won a prize.

Gradually, the line became longer again.

After everyone bought the fruit tea, they didn’t wait to go far before eating the golden patterned berries in their hands.

“So fragrant and sweet! It’s the first time in my life that I’ve eaten such delicious fruit.”

“It’s really delicious, and it has a hint of spirituality… and a hint… is this dragon energy?”

“The spirituality may not be strong, but it should indeed have the effect of beautifying. That dragon energy can really strengthen the qi and blood, it seems to be true!”

“…”

After a series of exclamations, several people immediately gathered around.

“How much do you sell these berries for? I want to buy more.” Everyone made their requests.

Chu Liang smiled and shook his head, “Sorry, the berries are only available as a gift when you buy fruit tea.”

The rejected people complained because the fruit tea had a purchase limit, so they couldn’t taste the berries anymore. Some people started trying to buy the gifted berries from those who bought the fruit tea later, but one berry couldn’t be sold for much, which only increased the curiosity of the later buyers, making them want to taste it themselves.

After Chu Liang sold all the inventory of fruit tea, the focus of the discussion shifted to the berries.

In terms of pure spirituality, Dragon Breath Golden Patterned Berries couldn’t compare to those heavenly treasures and spiritual plants and medicines, but Chu Liang didn’t position them as spiritual plants or medicines. He promoted them as health products.

Eating them might be effective, not eating them would definitely be useless. In this situation, the eight words “beautifying for women, invigorating for men” became particularly eye-catching. Who could completely reject this possibility?

“Sorry, the current quantity of Dragon Breath Golden Patterned Berries is limited and can only be given as a gift with the purchase of fruit tea. But we will increase the production in the future and bring more berries for sale. Please look forward to it.”

After calmly announcing this, Chu Liang turned and left Red Cotton Peak.

The market response to the Golden Patterned Berries was good, and the next step of the plan, as he said, was to increase production.

Many years later, if Black Furball gained intelligence and had its own history, there would definitely be a demon in their myth and legend.

In the desolate forest not far from Shu Mountain where people had disappeared, the great ancestor of the Black Furballs suffered a cruel massacre.

That demon’s name should be called Chu Liang, the Great Demon King.

He waved his silver sword light all over the sky and launched an attack on the peaceful Black Furballs, relentlessly pursuing them.

There was reason to suspect that he was a pervert who enjoyed killing…

But they would never know.

The reason this big demon was chasing them was nothing more than to mate.

Seriously speaking, in Chu Liang’s opinion, these Black Furballs were much more difficult to deal with than Lantern Monsters because they ran too fast and were very agile.

As long as he killed one, the Black Furballs behind would immediately change their formation and escape.

Chu Liang chased them all the way to the depths of the forest before finally managing to kill more than ten Black Furballs.As he was hesitating whether to continue the pursuit or to give up, his figure suddenly halted.

Deep in the dense forest, he saw a rather shocking scene.

There was a black giant tree about ten meters high. The trunk was incredibly thick, with sharp branches growing horizontally, not a single leaf on them. The branches, which looked like spikes, were covered with black fur balls.

The tree was eerie all over, not looking like a tree from the living world at all. Chu Liang didn’t know its species, so he temporarily named it the Ghost Tree.

So, the black fur balls were actually the fruits of this Ghost Tree?

No wonder the reward turned out to be plant seeds, because they were originally plants!

However, the black fur balls on the tree branches had no spirituality and could not move, which was quite different from the black fur balls that were running around in the forest.

Upon careful thought, they probably lacked a soul.

Chu Liang speculated that when the black fur balls on the tree branches matured, they would merge with a wandering soul and become like the ones he had encountered running around. Or perhaps, they needed to merge with a wandering soul to mature.

In any case, the black fur balls were produced here.

Although this was a Ghost Tree, it was not only far from human habitation, but also rarely seen by animals. Chu Liang had no intention of doing anything to it.

Firstly, it wouldn’t cause any harm. Although it was a Ghost Tree, it didn’t matter if it was left here.

Unless necessary, he didn’t plan to take action against this Ghost Tree that produced black fur balls. In fact, if he hadn’t been suddenly attacked last time, he wouldn’t have rashly attacked the queen bee, which resulted in the disappearance of the fruit tea industry.

Secondly, Chu Liang had a vague feeling that even if he took action, he might not be able to deal with this tree. It looked very gloomy and although it was quite dead at the moment, who knew if it would explode with some bizarre power.

Of course, if Chu Liang went back to the mountain and informed the elders, they could definitely deal with this Ghost Tree. Ultimately, he wanted to spend more time with the black fur balls. Although every encounter with them was a fight to the death, he definitely disagreed with completely eradicating them.

As the saying goes, sustainable fishing.

That’s all there is to it.
