He immediately returned to his territory and took out the [Elf Fruit Seed]. He went to the [Spirit Field] and found Li Shuang, who was assigning planting tasks.
He said to Liu Yue, "Arrange for someone with a planting talent to plant this [Elf Fruit Seed]."
"Yes, Lord." Liu Yue then called over a young girl from the Spirit Race. Zhou Yan vaguely remembered that this girl was one of the people he had rescued.
They arrived next to an unplanted [Spirit Field]. This [Spirit Field] was a top-quality building, now used for planting spirit herbs, and all of them were high-grade spirit herbs.
The older these spirit herbs were, the more valuable they became. All they needed was to be watered with spirit spring water on time each day.
He truly had many spirit fields now. If it weren't for the continuous summoning of people later on, he might not even have enough hands for farming.
The Spirit Race girl used her talent to plant the [Elf Fruit Seed] and then watered it with spirit spring water.
The [Elf Fruit Seed] in the soil quickly took root, sprouted, and grew vigorously.
However, it wouldn't bear fruit all at once.
But according to the Spirit Race girl, it wouldn't take too long. It was estimated that they could eat the first elf fruit by tomorrow.
This was an S-grade elf fruit tree, and its fruit must have strong effects. He was indeed looking forward to it.
After that, he took out the [Degenerated Heart of the World Tree] and asked, "I wonder if this thing can be restored. If it can be restored, that would be great."
This was not a seed, so he didn't know if it could be restored using spirit spring water and the [Spirit Field].
After all, the RRR-grade [Spirit Field] had a rapid growth effect, and spirit spring water also had the effects of repair and accelerated growth.
As soon as the Spirit Race girl saw this item, she was stunned and then suggested, "I suggest that the Lord place the [Degenerated Heart of the World Tree] in the spirit spring water to nourish it. It might take a long time, but there is still hope."
"Is that so? Then I'll try it."
He immediately did as she said, went to a nearby RRR-grade [Spirit Spring], and threw the [Degenerated Heart of the World Tree] into it.
After more than ten seconds, he indeed saw the water in the [Spirit Spring] rapidly being consumed, as if absorbed by something, until all the spirit spring water produced by this [Spirit Spring] was depleted.
And when he checked the status of the [Degenerated Heart of the World Tree] again, he found that its state had changed to "under repair."
"It really works. It seems that Spirit Race girl is indeed useful."
He decided to reward the girl and would ask Liu Yue to inquire about what reward she wanted.
Clear rewards and punishments were the way to motivate the residents of the territory more.
The [Degenerated Heart of the World Tree] itself was of very high quality, and it was not easy to repair it in a short time.
He returned to the [Myriad Worlds Virtual Mall] and asked Xiao Wei, "Where did you say the lucky spirit stone would appear last time?"
Xiao Wei replied, "It's a place called [Vast Wilderness · Trading Market]. There are many source stones there, all unopened. There's a certain chance of finding lucky spirit stones inside."
"Teleport me there," Zhou Yan said.
"Okay."
[Vast Wilderness · Trading Market]
According to Xiao Wei, this was a complex place with all sorts of races and a certain degree of danger.
Zhou Yan was not worried. After all, in the virtual trading market, even if he died, he would only lose one level. It was no big deal.
Besides, killing him was not that easy.
Upon arriving at this place, he casually walked into a few shops and found that this world was a fantasy world with many powerful individuals. He indeed had to be careful.
He found the type of source stone Xiao Wei mentioned. It was a strange stone from which many things could be obtained, but most of them yielded something called a source crystal.
This was stone gambling.
Ordinary human worlds gambled on jade.
People in fantasy worlds gambled on source crystals, and the items obtained were diverse.
He casually inquired and heard that some people had even obtained pet beasts of divine beast level, or even peerless divine swords.
As for whether these words were true, it was hard to tell. Perhaps they had only heard about it, or perhaps it was true.
However, when his hand touched these source stones, he could sense the energy fluctuations within.
And he could vaguely discern whether there was anything inside each source stone.
There were quite a few people coming and going to buy and examine source stones. He saw many people buy source stones and then directly crack them open to see if there was anything inside.
To verify if his senses were correct, he started by trying to buy a few.
He paid directly and then used his spiritual power to crack open a gap on the source stone. The source stone split open like a crack, revealing what was inside.
A halo flowed out, and a small source crystal appeared before him.
"Little brother, you have good luck. This source crystal is worth at least two hundred thousand spirit coins. If you're willing to sell it, our shop is willing to buy it," the shop owner quickly said.
"No, I plan to use it myself."
Source crystals were good things, much better than spirit coins. They were purer, and cultivating with them could at least increase cultivation speed by several times.
He didn't lack spirit coins at all, so after understanding the effect of this item, he immediately started acquiring source crystals.
However, this shop was small, and it didn't have many source crystals for sale, so he couldn't buy too many.
He cracked open the other two source stones, and as he had sensed, there was nothing inside.
He tried several more and found that he could indeed sense the fluctuations, but the balance of value was difficult to control.
Sometimes a source stone was sold at a very high price, but the value of the source crystal inside could not be lower than the selling price.
He didn't mind, as he certainly wasn't short of money.
He began to try using his Yin-Yang Qi to sense the source stones and mobilized the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram within his body. This thing was formed from the purest energy between heaven and earth, very close to the power of origin.
As expected, under the use of these two energies, he could indeed sense the energy space inside the source stones.
After trying more than ten pieces, he found that his sensing ability was quite good. He earned a little spirit currency, but he didn't let others notice. He also bought many useless source stones, and people just thought he was lucky.
After hundreds of verifications, he could finally buy with confidence.
He collected all the source stones he bought without opening them, planning to open them back at his territory.
He sensed them one by one, bought them one by one, and also acquired source crystals. However, each time he had to personally touch them to sense, and each time he had to mobilize the Tai Chi diagram in his body to sense more clearly, which took quite some time.
"Huh, this source stone seems a bit different!" When he arrived at a shop, he touched one of the source stones and found that the energy structure inside was completely different from the energy he had sensed before.
He looked at the price of this source stone: ten million spirit coins.
