Chapter 1927 Sprouted

Lin Mu didn"t wish to damage the seeds accidentally while cutting the Snow Gla.s.s Pears, as such he used this method.

By utilizing Meld, Lin Mu could have precision cuts as if he were a top tier surgeon using a precision obsidian scalpel.

Lin Mu"s immortal sense entered the Snow Gla.s.s Pears and located the seeds within them. There were six seeds in the center of the fruit, divided into six segments. Having located them, Lin Mu targeted them with Meld and controlled the s.p.a.ce around the Seeds.

It was very fine control, and he only pulled the seed out of the fruit from the top.

This left six precise holes at the sides of the Snow Gla.s.s Pears, with not a single drop of juice falling out.

"There we go." Lin Mu had finished taking out all the seeds in just five minutes.

In total, he had taken about ten Snow Gla.s.s Pears that were ripened and from them, he got a total of sixty seeds.

"This should be decent enough." Lin Mu hoped that at least one of them would sprout.

He knew just how difficult it was to grow Immortal Fruits, and that even if a fruit had many seeds, the chances of even a single one sprouting and growing to maturity was quite low.

And this chance of growth was further reduced when the Immortal plants needed unique conditions and resources to grow.

"Now"s the moment of truth…" Lin Mu muttered and carefully planted the seeds in the ground of the Sleepscape.

There was no guarantee whether the Sleepscape would accept them or not. If it did, it meant that the Sleepscape knew the plant would be sentient.

"At least I won"t have to wait for months on end to know whether a seed would be viable or not." Lin Mu thought.

He gently poked some holes in the ground, before putting in the seeds one by one and covering them.

Lin Mu ensured that there was enough distance between them so that there was plenty of place to grow. While it was unlikely that multiple of them would sprout and grow to the point of becoming trees, which would lead to them competing for nutrients, it was still better to be prepared.

~Huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath and waited to see if the Sleepscape would accept or reject the Snow Gla.s.s Pear Seeds.

Second after second pa.s.sed, until finally Lin Mu felt the ground tremble lightly.

~pop~pop~pop~

And as he had expected, the seed he had just planted started to be ejected by the ground.

~Sigh~

Lin Mu let out a sigh as over forty seeds had already been ejected and more were continually being ejected.

Fifty five… Fifty six… Fifty seven… fifty eight… fifty nine…

Lin Mu had given up hope by this point and knew that this was a failure. The last spot where he had planted the sixtieth seed was also trembling, showing that it was going to be ejected as well.

~Pop~

But when the ground parted, Lin Mu narrowed his eyes.

"Huh? It grew?!" Lin Mu watched as a tiny green sprout rose from the ground, instead of the seed.

"AHAHAHA! IT WORKED!" Lin Mu jumped in joy.

~thud~

The ground trembled with his weight, and an indent was left on it which recovered a few moments later.

Lin Mu calmed himself down and took a closer look at the young Snow Gla.s.s Pear Sprout.

It was barely an inch tall and was plain green in color. If one looked at it right now, they would be unable to even tell this was a Snow Gla.s.s Pear and not just any other random sprout. One could very easily run over it and the plant would be killed.

This made Lin Mu understand why the survival rate of the young immortal plants was so low. They simply looked too mundane at times.

"It barely has any immortal Qi fluctuations too." Lin Mu thought to himself.

~shua~

However as time pa.s.sed, Lin Mu could see that the sprout had started to absorb the Light elemental Immortal Qi from the air.

"That"s promising." Lin Mu was happy seeing that the array was working as intended.

With his success, Lin Mu called out to Xukong.

"Senior, look I managed to grow it!" Lin Mu said in his mind.

~shua~

A few seconds later, a silvery grey orb materialized near Lin Mu and from it appeared Xukong.

The Spider looked at the array that Lin Mu had made as well as the tiny sprout that was steadily sipping on the Light Elemental Immortal Qi, finding all of it to be stable.

"That"s good," Xukong spoke. "See, I told you the Sleepscape might still accept it. It could differentiate between viable and inviable seeds." He added.

"Yeah Senior. It made the work a lot easier and faster." Lin Mu nodded. "If we did this the normal way, we might have had to wait for months before any of the seeds sprouted… and that"s if they even did."

"The Sleepscape provides them better condition, so the chance of it growing was higher anyways." Xukong said.

After all, the Sleepscape generated natural Immortal Qi, as well as Immortal essence due to the source veins that he had planted. Then the plants within it, such as the Purple Sickle Amaranth and the Wood Spirit Tulip also made Wood Elemental Qi and pure wood essence which was beneficial to other plants.

Though their rate of production was lower, Lin Mu didn"t think it would be the same in the future as the plants continued to grow.

Of course, the Snow Gla.s.s Pear Tree didn"t need the wood Elemental Qi or the Pure wood Essence to grow as it only needed the Light Elemental Qi and a colder area. But that didn"t mean that the ambient Immortal Essence and Immortal Qi wouldn"t help it.

The Immortal Essence would at least provide it with a rich vitality that would give a boost to its growth.
