Chapter 681: I Have Ghost Tomato Fertilizer, Do You Want It?
Do you want to use it to grow ghost tomatoes?
Cheng Hong Ling saw through the clone’s intentions at a glance.
That’s right, it’s just that it’s too small now. If I have it help me create blood, and then use the created blood to water it, will it be effective?
Qi Huang had a sudden idea.
I don’t think it will be effective, otherwise, it would not be logical.
Cheng Hong Ling immediately made a deduction.
What logic?
Qi Huang asked curiously.
This blood Bodhi tree absorbs blood and then produces blood. During this process, it must consume some nutrients from the blood that it needs, just like an animal’s digestive system. If it only produces and doesn’t absorb, what does it rely on to survive? The loss of water alone is something it cannot bear. Therefore, I am sure that the blood in your basin has already lost the nutrients it needs.
Cheng Hong Ling explained with clear logic.
Let’s try it.
Qi Huang nodded thoughtfully, then took a basin and placed it under the blood Bodhi tree. Then, she cut her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto a leaf.
Just as Wang Lao San’s servant demonstrated, after the leaf absorbed the blood, it immediately “generated one, and from one, two,” transforming into blood water as thick as a finger and flowing down from the tip of the leaf, quickly filling an entire basin.
To be honest, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed such a thing!
Cheng Hong Ling sighed again.
Qi Huang was also somewhat speechless. This blood clearly belongs to animals; it has temperature and life. How can a plant replicate it?
Of course, Qi Huang knew that it was meaningless to pursue the matter further. So, she picked up the basin and poured some of it into the flowerpot where the blood Bodhi tree was located. Whether it was effective or not, it would be clear tomorrow.
Qi Huang then carried the blood to the greenhouse and poured it onto the ghost tomatoes.
It must be useful!
Qi Huang prayed silently. If it was useful, then she could soar into the sky.
The night passed in heat. Qi Huang woke up early to check. The results were mixed, with joy that the blood produced by the blood Bodhi was indeed useful for the ghost tomatoes, and sorrow that it was not useful for herself. This perfectly matched Cheng Hong Ling’s analysis!
Qi Huang immediately reported the result to her main body, and she was quite happy in her heart, after all, she was a content person.
“Then try using your own original blood again!” Cheng Hong Ling suggested.
“Okay!”
Qi Huang took out her treasure sword and was about to cut her wrist.
“Let me do it. My cultivation level is higher, so the effect will be more obvious.”
Cheng Hong Ling stopped her and then cut her wrist with her sharp fingernails, dripping some blood into the blood Bodhi tree’s flowerpot.
Another night passed. When Qi Huang observed the blood Bodhi tree again, she was completely relieved because the original blood was indeed useful. The small tree grew by thirty centimeters overnight, as if someone was pulling the seedlings to help them grow.
Qi Huang then began to produce “fertilizer.” First, she used the blood Bodhi to make a basin of blood, then diluted it with clean water, and finally filled hundreds of small bottles.
Qi Huang then set off with the bottles filled with “fertilizer.” If she wanted others to help her grow vegetables, she had to provide fertilizer, right?
“Where are you going?” Cheng Hong Ling couldn’t help but ask before she left.
“Selling fertilizer, I never said I would grow them myself.”
Qi Huang winked her eyelids and then instructed, “If the owner of the Golden Life Flower Seed comes to find me during this period, you must immediately summon me back.”
After Qi Huang gave her instructions, she left with peace of mind.
Qi Huang quickly arrived at the Immortal Alliance branch and found the gullible Elder Zuo. At this time, the Juyin Auction House’s ghost tomato acquisition point in Yongning Prefecture had reopened for several days under her signal, and the price for each fruit had been raised to thirty-five taels of silver to compensate for the reputational loss caused by the previous closure. She wasn’t lacking money now anyway.
After Elder Zuo learned of this,
he treated Qi Huang as a great savior. Therefore, at this moment, he politely led her in.
“Elder Zuo, I didn’t lie to you, did I? Hasn’t the ghost tomato acquisition point reopened?”
Qi Huang shamelessly sought credit.
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist. If it weren’t for your information, I would have already cleared all the ghost tomato vines.”
Elder Zuo thanked her sincerely with clasped fists.
“It’s nothing. We are business partners, and I can’t just watch my partner die, right?”
Qi Huang continued to embellish herself.
“Noble deed, brother.”
Elder Zuo was even more moved.
“It’s just a small matter. I have an even more righteous matter to discuss with Elder Zuo this time.”
As Qi Huang spoke, with a thought, a bottle of “fertilizer” appeared in her hand.
“What is this?”
Elder Zuo asked curiously.
“Allow me to solemnly introduce it. This is a brand of fertilizer called ‘Ma Pai’ fertilizer. It can make the ghost tomato vines branch out, and each plant can yield up to four ghost tomatoes.”
Qi Huang coughed dryly a few times and then introduced it.
“What? Four ghost tomatoes?”
Elder Zuo jumped up from his chair and then held the “Ma Pai” fertilizer to examine it carefully.
“Yes, Elder Zuo should understand that the reason why the yield of ghost tomatoes is limited is that it only has one main stalk that does not branch out. Therefore, even with two harvests a year, each plant can only produce two ghost tomatoes. With this Ma Pai fertilizer, it’s different. It can make the ghost tomato vines grow three more lateral branches, so each plant can produce eight ghost tomatoes a year.”
Qi Huang promoted it enthusiastically beside him.
“Is it true or not? How much does each bottle cost?”
Elder Zuo asked with doubt.
“I know Elder Zuo’s concerns. This bottle is for you to try for free. If it’s effective, then we can discuss the price.”
Qi Huang said generously.
“That would be best. Thank you, brother.”
Elder Zuo thanked her repeatedly.
We are all partners! Why say such things?
Qi Huang waved her hand “righteously” and then left. However, after a few steps, she stopped.
“Does brother have something else?”
Elder Zuo asked doubtfully.
Qi Huang turned around and said with feigned difficulty, “It’s like this, didn’t I buy over 200,000 ghost tomatoes from you last time? I’ve used the flesh now, but the seeds are still there. I wonder if Elder Zuo is interested in buying them back?”
Elder Zuo was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly asked, “How much do you plan to sell each one for?”
“We are all partners. It would be unjust of me to ask for an exorbitant price. How about this, just like last time, twenty-five taels of silver each.”
Qi Huang quoted the price.
“Heh…”
Elder Zuo was so amused that he laughed. He gritted his teeth and sarcastically said, “As the saying goes, no merchant is not cunning. Brother, you have really opened my eyes. You bought them from me for one tael of silver with both flesh and seeds, and then you want to sell the seeds back to me for twenty-five taels of silver each? In this way, you would make millions of taels of silver from me!”
“That can’t be said. Things are different now. The Juyin Auction House has already raised the price of each ghost tomato to thirty-five taels of silver. If you buy them and grow them successfully, each one can make ten taels. If you add my Ma Pai fertilizer, it would be an astronomical fortune.”
Qi Huang immediately calculated the profits for Elder Zuo.
“What you say is true, but who knows if the Juyin Auction House will close the ghost tomato acquisition point again? Will you still plan to buy them back from me for one tael of silver each then?”
Elder Zuo looked as if he had seen through her.
“It definitely won’t close this time! Believe me!”
Qi Huang immediately patted her chest and guaranteed it. She knew that the other party already suspected her identity.
“Heh… I appreciate your kind intentions, brother.”
Elder Zuo’s smile was slightly distorted.
“You really don’t want it? I’m the one who’s kindly giving you this opportunity to get rich, just because we were business partners before.”
Qi Huang persuaded him earnestly.
I’m very grateful.
Elder Zuo refused without hesitation.
What a pity for you.
Qi Huang sighed and then mumbled as she left. In fact, she had already expected this, after all, people are not fools, and they would definitely suspect her identity.
However, Qi Huang was not worried. If Elder Zuo didn’t want it, others would!
Are you my enemy? Are you trying to bleed one sheep dry?
Elder Zuo immediately rebuked.
What sheep?
His confidant asked doubtfully.
Are you stupid? As soon as the ghost tomatoes I, your Elder, just matured, the Juyin Auction House closed its acquisition point. I sold the ghost tomatoes to her, and then the Juyin Auction House reopened. How could such a coincidence happen in this world?
Elder Zuo said with a ferocious expression.
Do you mean that she is from the Juyin Auction House?
The confidant suddenly realized.
Most likely.
Elder Zuo made the deduction.
This disciple doesn’t understand. The Juyin Auction House acquired ghost tomatoes to do good deeds, so why would they scheme against you for money? What kind of good deed is this?
The confidant asked confusedly.
This only shows that their acquisition of ghost tomatoes is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface.
Elder Zuo said thoughtfully.
Qi Huang left the Immortal Alliance branch and quickly visited all the places where ghost tomatoes were secretly planted in the Cultivation World, successfully promoting her “Ma Pai” fertilizer and selling the more than 200,000 Golden Life Flower Seeds.
The next day, Qi Huang returned to the HongHua Sect. After all, she was facing the danger of complete feminization and had to frequently cultivate the “Body-Substitution Technique” with her main body.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye. The owner of the Golden Life Flower Seeds finally came to visit, but it was not as Qi Huang had imagined; the person was escorted here.
