Chapter 79: Heavenly Fragrance Pearl !_1
Translator: 549690339
A shard from a pottery basin narrowly whizzed past Fang Mu’s legs and embedded itself in the leg of a bed nearby.
Such was its force, it penetrated two centimeters deep into the bed leg, keeping it from falling to the ground.
Fang Mu grimaced in relief after witnessing this.
That was close! He was nearly hit in the most vital place!
If it had hit him, even with the help of a Therapist, he would have been bedridden for at least half a month before he could move normally!
If his luck had been a little worse, becoming a “Lonely Hero” could also have been a possibility!
The reason he used a clay pot to plant the Fragrant Peony was because Fragrant Peonies are extremely prone to root rot.
If even a little more water suffocates the root system, the roots would easily mold and decay.
Fang Mu hadn’t expected that the Blood Aged Wine, brewed from his own blood, would cause such a drastic change in the root whiskers of the Fragrant Peony.
Even the fragile root system of the Fragrant Peony, in an instant, exerted force that shattered the clay pot.
Fortunate to have escaped injury, Fang Mu didn’t stop the slow pouring of the Blood Aged Wine.
The root system of the Fragrant Peony appeared as a cluster of writhing pale-yellow tentacles.
These pale-yellow tentacles interlaced together, their color gradually turning into a brownish hue.
The root system, which originally could be planted in a thirty-centimeter diameter clay pot, now required at least a one-meter diameter clay pot to contain it.
The transformation of the Fragrant Peony’s root system was just the beginning.
The robust roots sucked in the Blood Aged Wine, transferring the energy it contained to the stem and leaves.
The originally tender stem rapidly thickened from the size of a chopstick to that of the mouth of the crystal bottle in Fang Mu’s hand.
A layer of scale-like shield skin appeared on the tender green stem.
The dark green scale-like shield skin greatly enhanced the supporting strength of the stem.
One supporting branch after another grew from the stem.
In the blink of an eye, leaf after leaf, the size of a palm and heart-shaped, grew out.
The color of the pink flower spots on the leaf became more splendid.
They were like the brilliant sunset in the dusk sky.
The light and shadow flowed through the flower spots on the ground, like the romantic dance of the sunset.
The change in the stem and leaves was like a built-up energy, ready to burst forth.
Several branches suddenly thickened on the stem.
The original two flower buds split into nine on the branches.
The nine flower buds jointly absorbed nutrients, increasing in size from that of a millet grain to the size of a sour plum.
When they finally reached the size of a pomegranate, they stopped growing.
If it wasn’t for the sufficiently thick stem and the thick scale-like shield skin on top, it would have been hard to prop up the weight of the pomegranate-sized flower buds.
The color of the flower buds changed from green to a gradual pink.
It was as if nine newly made-up ladies were about to debut.
The moment one of the flower buds slightly bloomed, an indescribable fragrance entered Fang Mu’s nostrils.
The moment this whiff of fragrance appeared, all the odors of the rotting garbage in the factory were completely covered up.
This fragrance endowed the dilapidated factory with a sense of noble refinement.
Not indulging in the fragrance, Fang Mu saw the nine flower buds blooming in unison before his eyes.
Hundreds of delicate, cicada-wing-thin petals overlapped, holding the goose-yellow stigma.
The imperial-colored petals had a gradient of purple and red.
The allure was exquisite to the extreme!
Fang Mu finally understood the saying “Only the peony is truly magnificent, moving the capital when it blooms” in that moment.
Fang Mu subconsciously activated the Eye of Omniscience, inspecting it.
[Beast Name]: Heaven Fragrance Peony
[Beast Species]: Ranunculaceae / Rhizome Genus
[Beast Level]: Bronze (6/10) [Beast Element]: Wood [Beast Potential]: Silver [Beast Quality]: Elite
Skill:
[Fragrant Soak]: Under the immersion of fragrance, skin’s superficial greasy stains can be cleaned. After a while, a fragrance bead will condense at the flower’s heart. Lighting up the fragrance bead can enhance self-comprehension (after removing the fragrance bead, the flower will wither. High-purity wood elemental energy and life energy can promote the flower to bloom again).
Evolution Directions:
O: Heavenly Peony, @: Butterfly-Attracting Peony, O: Fragrant Concubine
Peony.
After a single investigation, Fang Mu’s breath instantly changed.
An expression full of excitement and joy was revealed in his eyes.
Fang Mu had previously used the Eye of Omniscience to explore Heavenly Peony when it was still in its Fragrant Peony state.
At that time, the Fragrant Peony skill [Fragrant Soak] only had the ability to cleanse superficial skin oils and couldn’t form Fragrance Beads at all. Fang Mu had never heard before that Fragrant Peony could evolve into
Heavenly Peony.
Although he was unaware of Heavenly Peony’s existence, this didn’t prevent Fang Mu from hearing about Spirit Materials that could enhance people’s comprehension power.
Any of these type of Spirit Materials, casually taken out, would sell for extremely high prices.
Many young descendants of large families who want to contract multiple Guardian Beasts without interrupting their comprehension of the mysterious patterns rely on these types of Spirit Materials to meditate for extended periods in the Contemplation Hall.
The Fragrance Beads condensed by Heavenly Peony significantly increase the price of Heavenly Peony.
Although the scent of Heavenly Peony is similar to that of the Fragrant Peony, there are notable differences.
If you say that Fragrant Peony gives people the impression of a young maiden just starting to show charm,
then the Heavenly Peony gives the impression of a noble lady with a lofty demeanor, similar to the clouds on a mountain peak.
The main consumers of expensive cosmetics are wealthy middle-aged women.
Compared to the scent of Fragrant Peony, the scent of Heavenly Peony will definitely appeal more to these middle-aged women.
With the pollen produced by the Heavenly Peony, the brand “Peach Beguile” will infinitely elevate.
The scent will make it harder for other high-end brands to compete.
Given the same benefits, men will definitely prefer the one with a better scent.
For women’s sake, looking their best.
Those ladies who are pursuing the “man-slaying fragrance” would already know which to choose!
Fang Mu plans to collect the pollen of Heavenly Peony and supply it to Feng Chenhao regularly.
As for the Fragrance Beads, Fang Mu would keep them for himself!
Meanwhile, an idea sprung up in Fang Mu’s mind: he needs to find more Fragrant Peony.
He plans to use the Blood-Aged Wine to cultivate the Fragrant Peony.
And see if he could transform the other Fragrant Peonies into Heavenly Peonies.
In this way, Fang Mu can collect more Fragrance Beads.
If the Heavenly Peony continues to evolve along its own bloodline, it may also have the chance to awaken the Flower Spirit and condense Flower Jade.
Just as the Coagulated Jade Camellia can evolve into Falling Jade Camellia along its own bloodline.
The Heavenly Peony is an evolutionary type of Heavenly Peony’s bloodline.
To transform into Heavenly Peony, Heavenly Peony needs to be induced by Light Attribute Spiritual Liquid and exposed to moonlight for a long time.
At this time, the Heavenly Peony will gradually become a Wood-Light Dual System Guardian Beast.
Once the Flower Spirit of Heavenly Peony awakens, the Flower Jade that falls belongs to a great Spirit Material for the preparation of high-grade Light Attribute elixirs.
Though it is only possible for it to awaken the Flower Spirit and to condense Flower Jade after evolving into Heavenly Peony.
But this doesn’t mean that the evolution paths to Butterfly-Attracting Peony and Fragrant Concubine Peony are any less superior.
The fine pollen and fragrance shed by the wind of the Butterfly-Attracting Peony have an extraordinary attraction to butterfly Guardian Beasts.
If Butterfly-Attracting Peony modus operandi were to be divided according to the system of a Beast Master.
Butterfly-Attracting Peony should be regarded as a type of Guardian Beast for hunting treasures.
It is very likely to lure rare butterfly Guardian Beasts by using
Butterfly-Attracting Peony in some deep mountains and old forests.
It was rumored that someone took Butterfly-Attracting Peony and attracted the Blue Flash Butterfly.
After capturing it, they sold it for tens of millions of Dragon Rising Coins with ease.
The Fragrant Concubine Peony changes the nature of its own fragrance during its differentiated evolution, enhancing its own fragrance with a charm effect.
They can attract surrounding creatures through the fragrance.
This enchantment of the spirit is extremely addictive.
This means that the pollen of Fragrant Concubine Peony can’t be added to cosmetics at all.
Fang Mu planned to move the Heavenly Peony to the terrace of the factory to absorb moonlight.
Of course, before that, Fang Mu has to replant the Heavenly Peony in the flower pot again.
Fang Mu took out the Millet Jade Pot, which he had bought while shopping in Dinghai Mall, and mixed in some Restoration Soil.
Then he planted the Heavenly Peony in it.
The root whiskers of the Heavenly Peony are now exceptionally sturdy.
Even if you pour lots of water, you no longer have to worry about drowning the roots.
The Millet Jade Pot can maximize the effect of the Restoration Soil.
It can help the Heavenly Peony absorb Life and Wood Element Energy faster and accelerate the speed of upgrading its stage and quality.
Cultivating Guardian Beasts is a process, the same as raising pigs.
If you starve a pig, it will not only not grow in size but will also become thinner.
When you fatten a pig with a large amount of feed, although the piglet will grow big.
However, it also needs a not too short cycle.
Given that Fang Mu uses high-purity Life Elixir and wood element potions to water and nurture the Heavenly Peony each day.
Within two months, the Heavenly Peony could possibly rise to the golden level of Epic Quality..
