Infinite Bloodcore-Chapter 681: Section 468: Crying Beauty + Sun Crown Flower

The metal door of inheritance finally opened.

Master Cai Jing, Master Da Bei, and Mage Zhong Bei finally saw the scene inside the inheritance gate.

A single potted plant was placed in the vast space.

Nothing else was there.

The famous and flourishing hybrid master’s legacy turned out to be unexpectedly humble.

"Is this the only thing?" Mage Zhong Bei said, disappointed.

His father, Master Da Bei, and Master Cai Jing also had unhappy expressions on their faces.

Especially Master Cai Jing.

He had invested a lot of time and effort here, and now it seemed that the harvest was not as abundant as expected.

Compared with him, Master Da Bei was a bit more serene, "This potted plant seems to be a Weeping Beauty, but it doesn’t entirely match the description in the records."

The pot contained a flowering plant.

The flower was in bud form and had not fully bloomed. The buds were plump and firm, drooping slightly. The petals were ice blue, twinkling with flecks of luminescence.

Judging from the flower, it was a Weeping Beauty.

It was a Water Element Magic Plant.

But looking at the plant’s roots and stems, there was a significant difference between it and the Weeping Beauty.

The roots and stems of Weeping Beauty were dark green and curved slightly. The curved S-shape resembled the graceful silhouette of a beautiful woman. Paired with the drooping buds and two large leaves, it was like a crying beauty among the flowers.

That’s where the name Weeping Beauty came from.

But now, inside the inheritance gate, the roots of the Weeping Beauty in this potted plant were entirely obscured, covered by a large spread of orange-yellow petals.

These petals were tightly arranged against each other, overlapping in layers, akin to an orange-yellow long dress with a trailing skirt, quite magnificent.

For a moment, all three mages focused their attention on this unique flower dress.

Mage Zhong Bei spontaneously said, "I think I now understand the naming of Flower Skirt Island. Isn’t this what the flourishing hybrid mentioned?"

These words immediately stirred Master Cai Jing’s heart.

He squinted his eyes, carefully discerning, "The orange-yellow petals that make up the long dress seem to come from the Sun Crown Flower."

The Sun Crown Flower was also a Magic Plant, belonging to both the Light and Fire Elements.

Master Da Bei nodded slightly, agreeing with Master Cai Jing’s observation. He then tried to analyze, "This must be a Magic Plant specially grafted by the flourishing hybrid master."

"There are two main components, one is the Weeping Beauty, and the other is the Sun Crown Flower."

"The Weeping Beauty is a Water Element plant, able to absorb and secrete a large amount of water vapor. This plant is very delicate and often rots and dies in the roots and leaves due to its own excessive water vapor."

"The Sun Crown Flower loves sunlight, a solar collector among plants. But it is not intelligent, and its petals can get scorched and damaged from holding too much sunlight, eventually withering and dying."

"Both of these are Magic Plants that are difficult to cultivate."

"But the flourishing hybrid master seems to have combined the two perfectly."

"The orange-yellow petals of the Sun Crown Flower, absorbing and storing a lot of sunlight. Light and heat dispelled the dense water vapor inherent to the Weeping Beauty. Meanwhile, the water vapor from the Weeping Beauty also moistens the Sun Crown Flower petals, cooling them down and preventing them from drying out."

"The flourishing hybrid master is very skilled at using grafting to cultivate Magic Plants. Now it appears that the legacy he left is full of deep meaning, this Magic Potted Plant is entirely in line with his style."

Master Da Bei’s analysis was agreed upon by the other two.

Mage Zhong Bei spoke, "Whether it’s the Weeping Beauty or the Sun Crown Flower, both are valuable Magic Plants. Now that the two have been stably grafted, there’s the potential for large-scale cultivation. Once it’s cultivated on a large scale, the profit will be very noteworthy!"

Master Cai Jing then said, "Druids are different from us mages. They don’t teach knowledge itself but set challenges and prioritize practice, encouraging others to learn through their own insights. This Magic Potted Plant must be a phased result of the flourishing hybrid master’s father. But how much knowledge one can gain from this result depends on one’s wisdom and ability."

Master Cai Jing analyzed based on his personal style.

During the conversation among the three, the wisdom of the mages was unmistakably displayed.

With each one speaking in turn, they analyzed the scene before them quite thoroughly.

After confirming there was no danger or ambush, the next step was to collect the Magic Potted Plant.

Master Da Bei voluntarily stepped back, giving this opportunity to Master Cai Jing.

This entire search for the legacy had always been led by Master Cai Jing. On this point, Master Da Bei was clear-headed and had a strong sense of measure.

Master Cai Jing was inwardly pleased with his action.

However, as Cai Jing approached the inheritance gate, he suddenly received a hidden message.

"Turns out there’s more than one part to the legacy of the Flourishing Hybrid!" Cai Jing’s eyes flickered momentarily, but he maintained an outward calm and reached out to remove the magic pot plant.

He didn’t immediately share this secret information but instead closely examined the magic pot plant in his hands.

The first thing he noticed was the extraordinary nature of the pot.

There were probably three spells and five divine arts imbued in this pot. They used enchantment techniques, and the spells and divine arts were almost all made permanent.

This was not surprising. Flourishing Hybrid was a Druid Master, proficient in both divine arts and spells.

The soil in the pot was rich loam.

It was a holy object of the Fertile Soil Sect, very well known.

Just as its name implies, the rich loam contained an immense geomantic benefit, almost allowing any crop to be planted in it and ensuring a bountiful harvest.

Finally, Master Cai Jing began to delve deep into the grafted magic flowers.

He couldn’t help but exclaim, "This is simply a work of art."

Master Flourishing Hybrid had cleverly grafted two different bloodlines together, not only achieving a balance but also mutual benefit.

The Master had selected two magic plants to graft together. Although a variety of divine arts and spells were used to enhance the pot, the extraordinary power involved in grafting the plants themselves was almost non-existent!

This meant that, without the pot, these grafted magic plants had a strong survival ability on their own.

Compared to the grafted magic plants that Cai Jing and others had cultivated on a large scale before, which required cryogenic technology to survive for a short period.

The gap was just too vast!

And the concise and clear design style of Master Flourishing Hybrid made the previous works of Master Cai Jing and others seem like the childish doodles of a child.

After exploring for a while, Master Cai Jing handed the magic pot plant to Master Da Bei for inspection.

Watching this, Zhong Bei almost cried out in excitement.

He had been a little worried just now.

After all, this excavation of the legacy was led by Master Cai Jing. Zhong Bei and his father had only been invited to join midway.

Although the father and son had made a contribution, it would have been perfectly reasonable for Master Cai Jing to compensate them instead of sharing the final results of the legacy after obtaining it.

But in reality, Master Cai Jing directly handed the magic pot plant to Master Da Bei for inspection.

This act held extraordinary significance, and Zhong Bei was extremely moved.

Master Da Bei quickly gave thanks and took the pot plant to look at it carefully.

After a while, he spoke, "This confirms our previous speculation."

"Just as Master Cai Jing said before."

"Master Flourishing Hybrid left us only one result. It’s closely related to the grafting techniques we assessed before. But this one result clearly far surpasses the sum of all the grafting creations we made before."

"How much knowledge we can gain from this result remains uncertain. It will depend on our individual insight and ability."

"Compared to that, I prefer the legacy left by the mages. The inheritance is knowledge, much more straightforward."

This highlighted the difference between mages and druids. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Mages seek knowledge and when they leave a legacy, it is usually the knowledge itself, ensuring it is precise and correct. 1 is 1, 2 is 2, with no ambiguity allowed.

Druids, typically proficient in both divine arts and spells, place more importance on intuition and feeling. They encourage people to experience the present and seek the meaning of life itself, gaining self-improvement through their own practice. As for how much one can improve? That’s nature’s selection, the evolution of life, the fate of destiny. There’s no need to be overly demanding.

Zhong Bei, watching his father hold the magic pot plant, spoke with excitement, "Actually, even the worst understanding would still give us a continuous gold mine. If we plant this type of grafted magic plant on a large scale, the profits would be astonishing."

Master Cai Jing added, "So next, we can collaborate. Together, we can cultivate this type of grafted magic plant!"

Master Da Bei and Zhong Bei both looked surprised.

Cai Jing looked at them and continued, "You both know my situation; although honored as a master, I’m just a Wandering Mage who isn’t accepted by mainstream alchemy, officially exiled. But you are different; you have contacts in the country, and you also have certain strength. You can easily set up a large cultivation area in the heartland of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom."

"This legacy of Master Flourishing Hybrid, you also participated in, and your efforts were not small. Without your cryogenic technology, we couldn’t have succeeded so quickly."

Hearing this, Zhong Bei was so excited he almost danced with joy. He had never imagined that Cai Jing would be so generous. He was suggesting a complete sharing!

Originally, he thought that Master Cai Jing would at most lend him the magic plant for a short time. But instead, he wanted to share fully. Master Da Bei and Zhong Bei had definitely struck it big this time.

Master Da Bei, suspecting the offer, deliberately demured, "Please do not misunderstand, Master Cai Jing. We father and son will not touch what we should not, nor covet anything unduly. Your view of yourself is far too modest. With your strength, you can easily distance yourself from the Ice Sculpture Kingdom and find suitable cultivation bases on countless islands. Wherever you go, any power would treat you as an honored guest."

Ps: Allergies have been very troublesome; they wake me up itching every night, making me get up four or five times. It’s hard to ensure enough sleep, but luckily after several days of injections, the condition is gradually improving. The updates for this week won’t be great, but I will insist on updating daily, trying to maintain the momentum for upcoming more frequent updates.
