Chapter 37 - Obtaining Eternal Life

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After handing over 20 earth crystals, not only did the land advance to Level-2, a “modification” option was also added.

By using the modification function, 100 acres of farmland could be transformed into fish ponds, animal pounds, mines, alchemical workshops, and thousands of different areas.

However, these were not important. Instead, Li Tianxiang picked out the 100 acres of land that Sal and the others had left behind and chose to upgrade it to Level-2.

He then pulled out the precious Peach of Immortality seed from the system warehouse and handed it over to Linné.

“This is an even more precious seed. Although Sal and the others can plant ordinary crops on a large scale, when it comes to seeds with special needs or seeds that require meticulous care, they are somewhat lacking.”

Although Sal disapproved of Li Tianxiang’s statement, he only snorted twice to express his protest because of the tie between the two of them.

Meanwhile, Linné took the seed from Li Tianxiang’s hands. The surface of the seed was filled with fissures. Very quickly, a serious expression appeared on Linné’s face.

“Sir, how did you obtain this seed?”

Li Tianxiang felt a little awkward. Could he possibly tell Linné that he had obtained this as a reward for farming?

In the end, Li Tianxiang rephrased himself. “I exchanged it with someone else.”

Linné looked envious when he heard this.

“Then no matter what crops you’ve exchanged it for, you won’t lose anything. It’s just a matter of how much you earn.”

Linné looked at the seed as if he was looking at his first love, making Li Tianxiang feel slightly disgusted.

Upon seeing the expression on Li Tianxiang’s face, Linné coughed awkwardly and restrained his expression. Then, he spoke seriously.

“This is a plant that contains life force. If a person eats it, they can easily break through the original limit of life. They can even obtain eternal life.”

Linné’s words shocked Siebel. After all, although the succubi had a long lifespan, there was still a limit.

Linné also had a shocked expression on his face. Although it was said that elves could live up to 10,000 years, there was basically no elf who was more than a thousand years old.

Meanwhile, the vitality contained in this small seed could definitely allow any elf to easily live beyond 1,000 years old.

Sal’s breathing was even heavier. After all, as a race with a lifespan similar to humans, the temptation of longevity and eternal life was unimaginable.

However, what shocked the three of them was that Li Tianxiang didn’t seem too surprised or shocked, as if this was a natural thing. In fact, he even seemed a bit disappointed.

After all, Li Tianxiang had already guessed that the Peach of Immortality would have this effect after learning about its identity. However, he was disappointed because according to the description from the Peach of Immortality Garden in Journey to the West, the amount of time required for the Peach of Immortality to grow was a little too long.

Upon thinking of this, he casually asked.

“Then can you guess the time needed for this plant to beat fruit after being planted?”

Upon hearing this, a difficult expression appeared on Linné’s face. After all, he had never seen such a tremendous life force before, so he could not speculate.

However, he also understood why Li Tianxiang was disappointed. For a seed containing such tremendous vitality to fully grow, it might take the entire lifespan of an elf, let alone a human.

Li Tianxiang casually handed the seed to Sal. Seeing his nervous expression, he joked.

“I’m warning you, don’t eat it secretly. Go and plant it in the newly cultivated land.”

“Boss, do you not trust me?”

Although he hadn’t spent much time with Li Tianxiang, he had been influenced by him and was binded to him.

Thus, Sal’s attitude towards Li Tianxiang was more or less relaxed. He didn’t resist, but at least dared to joke with him.

Then, he carefully held the seed and was about to leave. Upon seeing Linné’s eager expression, Li Tianxiang said helplessly, “Wait, let’s go together.”

After all, it was just a coma caused by a huge mental impact. Thus, after lying on the bed for a long time, he had already recovered. However, with the skills of the orcs, it was fine as long as one could lie on the bed. However, he could forget about comfort. Lying on the bed was simply too uncomfortable.

Li Tianxiang jumped off the bed and told Sal helplessly.

“Even though it’s good that the bed is durable, at least make it more comfortable.”

Seeing Sal’s confused look, Siebel shook her head in amusement.

“There’s no use telling him. After all, the orcs have thick skin. Even sleeping on the roof would feel comfortable, let alone sleeping on the bed.”

Li Tianxiang patted his forehead helplessly. He simply assigned Linné to follow Sal and asked Sal to upgrade this hospital later on.

Meanwhile, a group of people arrived at the land that Li Tianxiang had upgraded to Level-2. The dark soil gave off a special smell of decomposition and even had a faint oily glow.

Sal looked at the land in front of him and rubbed his eyes hard.

He remembered when he brought his men to reclaim this land, although this piece of land was not considered barren, it was a typical piece of land with yellow soil. Furthermore, the soil had hardened. Thus, after reclaiming the land, plowing the land had tired them out.

Although his agricultural knowledge was almost non-existent, he knew that the fertility of the land in front of him would definitely cause a massacre among the clans.

Meanwhile, Linné looked at the land and a surprised expression appeared on his face. He walked to the edge of the land and squatted down. Then, he stuck his hand into the soil and closed his eyes. After a while, he withdrew his hand in disappointment.

Although the land was fertile, it contained almost no magic power. Thus, even though it was suitable for the growth of the seed with vigorous life force in Sal’s possession, it was not suitable for the germination of various ancient trees.

“What’s wrong?”

Li Tianxiang saw his tightly knitted brows and asked curiously.

Linné shook his head, smiled and answered truthfully.

“There are no problems. The land is very fertile. Although it doesn’t contain magic power, it’s perfect for the growth of this seed. If we’re just planting some ordinary crops, we should be able to obtain excellent harvests using this land.”

“Sal!”

Upon hearing Li Tianxiang’s shout, Sal jogged over.

“Go and call a few of your men over. Leave the seeds with me first.”

Li Tianxiang recalled Linné’s words about the irrigation system. He had an idea, but he needed to verify it.

It was a good thing that the Peach of Immortality required a long time to grow, so he didn’t care about that anymore. He might as well use this land as a test field.

Soon, Sal brought a few of the strongest orcs to Li Tianxiang.

Li Tianxiang turned to Linné and said, “You said before that the irrigation system of the land is almost non-existent. Is there any way to improve it? Tell them about it directly.”

Then, he turned to look at the orcs.

“Listen, from today onwards, all of you will follow Linné. Do whatever he tells you to do. Do you hear me?”

However, the orcs looked unhappy. It was not hard for Li Tianxiang to guess what they were thinking. The reason was none other than the argument with the elves just now..
