Chapter 931: The Delicate Barren River Orchid Bud
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Yuan did not know whether to say everything was falling into its place or that it was a coincidence.
Endless Summer’s Barren River Orchid Bud and Morbius’ Klein Hub had appeared at the same time, and he had chosen to connect Klein Hub to the marsh world.
According to the information on True Data, the Barren River Orchid Bud would drain nutrients from the soil that it was planted in. This would kill all the feys that depended on the soil for survival.
If Endless Summer planted the Barren River Orchid Bud in the Endless Forest, the Barren River Orchid Bud would be able to grow well.
But as the Barren River Orchid Bud continued to absorb the nutrients in the soil and grew more branches, the entire Endless Summer would eventually be reduced to a barren wasteland.
This would result in the death of all the feys that lived in the Endless Forest.
The avian-type feys that could move independently might be able to migrate before all the nutrients were extracted from the soil, but the plant-type feys could only sit tight until they died.
There was no way that the Spirit Guards would ignore such a calamitous problem.
From a certain angle, the Barren River Orchid Bud’s growth process was similar to that of the Sea Burial Lotus Flower.
The difference lay in that the Sea Burial Lotus Flower absorbed the spirit qi in the sea bed while the Barren River Orchid Bud absorbed the nutrient from the soil.
Hence, the damage caused to the environment by growing the Barren River Orchid Bud in the main world was too severe.
This had to be the main reason for Endless Summer’s low spirits.
Endless Summer had slowly grown step by step from a normal hydrangea to what it was today. Hence, it was well aware of how difficult it was to be a low-grade plant-type fey.
It would never kill other weak plant-type feys for the sake of nurturing its sacred source lifeform.
But now that they had access to the marsh world, there would be no issue with finding a place to grow the Barren River Orchid Bud.
“I have a place for you to grow the Barren River Orchid Bud. It can grow out branches quickly there. Besides nutritious soil, is there anything else that the Barren River Orchid Bud needs to be nurtured?”
Endless Summer lit up with happiness. It did not expect the dilemma that had been bothering it would be so easily solved by Lin Yuan.
Although Endless Summer did not know where Lin Yuan was referring to, it knew that he would never say anything without confidence.
“When the Barren River Orchid Bud is absorbing nutrients from the soil, it’ll also absorb all the water in the soil and cause it to crack. Hence, it needs to be watered as soon as possible. The Barren River Orchid Bud is also very delicate. If the roots are dug out from the ground or its leaves and stem are bent, it will start to wither rapidly. Thus, it needs to be nurtured with the utmost care.” Endless Summer spoke with an awkward expression.
It could be said that the Barren River Orchid Bud was destined to lead a privileged life that required constant care.
Once the Barren River Orchid Bud grew to a certain extent, it would require an unimaginable amount of water.
Although Endless Summer was a Creation Breed fey, if the Barren River Orchid Bud was not properly cared for and it was dug up even by a Normal fey, the Barren River Orchid Bud would be seriously affected.
The Barren River Orchid Bud also contained a large amount of vitality that was attractive to all lifeforms, and they would be tempted to take a bite out of it.
Lin Yuan was happy instead of being knocked down by Endless Summer’s words. He did not expect the Barren River Orchid Bud to require a large amount of water during its growth.
He had noticed that the land in the marsh dimensional rift was not as firm as the land in the main world.
The land in the marsh world was comprised of a large amount of mud and packed together over time.
Thus, any step on it, even by someone like Lin Yuan, who was only about 65 kilograms, would result in him sinking to his calves.
Lin Yuan had been trying to come up with a way to make the ground in the marsh world dryer so it would be easier to explore.
It did not need to be as dry as the ground in the main world, just dry enough so that one would not sink with every step.
It seemed that planting the Barren River Orchid Bud in the marsh world would save a lot of trouble for Lin Yuan.
Although the Barren River Orchid Bud would not have many roots at the start and would not be able to make any considerable impact on the soil in the marsh world, its effects would become apparent once it grew its branches.
The Barren River Orchid Bud would need a constant supply of water, and the other areas in the marsh world with a surplus of water would eventually even out the water content in the soil while providing the Barren River Orchid Bud with all its water needs.
Despite looking like a small blade of gra.s.s now, it fully lived up to the ‘barren’ in its name.
The constant guarding that the Barren River Orchid Bud required was also no issue for Lin Yuan because the Kill Food Sky b.u.t.terfly could enter the marsh world anytime through Klein Hub.
Lin Yuan could leave the Kill Food Sky b.u.t.terfly in the marsh world to protect the Barren River Orchid Bud and help Lin Yuan create a s.p.a.ce on which he could establish his base.
“Your two problems can be solved easily. I’ll take you to a place tomorrow.”
While Lin Yuan and Endless Summer were talking, the Mother of Bloodbath walked down the stairs.
Ever since it had returned to the mansion, the Mother of Bloodbath had constantly been training to increase its power.
When Lin Yuan saw the Mother of Bloodbath, he tossed the sacred source lifeform it had won from the Martial Arts Stage to it and said, “Mother of Bloodbath, this is my prize for winning the Martial Arts Stage. You can contract it once you evolve to Creation Breed.. Another batch of the Blood Brew Grapes has ripened, and many old vines have also fallen off.”
