BXBX NOVEL Chapter 34: Vitality Mushroom and Spirit Mushroom
Some even said that they originated from the Divine Spirit Tree.
He bought one of each seed, planning to convert both of them into wood spirits later.
The reason for buying these seeds and not looking for plants outside was that when he evolved Thorny into a wood spirit, he found that the evolution potential of ordinary thorn spin vines was very low.
With an upper limit of Tier-2 at most, causing the skills and talent she awakened after turning into a wood spirit to be all low-grade.
"If it were a spiritual plant like Sword Grass or Titan Wood Tree, even the general skills they awaken would be more powerful than the talent of Thorny," he reasoned.
He could use his life energy to upgrade plants without any limit to their level and also bestow special skills to make them stronger, but the problem right now was that he was still in the initial stage and didn\'t have many skills saved.
"So, for a while, I\'ll still spend some money to buy spiritual plants with good potential and turn them into my wood spirit companions," he decided.
Earlier, Ram had found a large number of professional transfer materials on the list.
However, most of these materials were either for non-combat professions or ordinary combat professions, with costs ranging from hundreds to thousands of Shadow points.
Regarding rare transfer materials, he only found three: Blood Warrior, Shadow Assassin, and Elemental Wizard. These materials cost thousands to tens of thousands of Shadow points.
Although the difference was only one quality higher, the difference in combat strength and skill between an ordinary profession and a rare profession was evident.
Unlike skill cards, professional transfer materials were not obtained through killing monsters but by destroying Monster Dens or created by high-level professionals.
Ram thought, "As for the rest of the shadow points, I\'ll buy this special mushroom mycelium: Vitality Mushroom and Spirit Mushroom. I should be able to sell them back to earn some shadow points to buy professional materials later."
Each of these fungal varieties possessed unique properties and characteristics:
Vitality Mushroom: A Tier-1 Vitality Mushroom can increase the \'Physique\' attribute of low-level professionals (Tier-1 to Tier-3) by 1 point directly for the first time, and the effect lowers with multiple uses.
It can also be used to expedite healing or revitalize the user\'s Qi and Blood, providing a surge of energy. Martial Artists or Body refiners often incorporate it into their training to recover quickly after intense sessions or battles.
These mushrooms are sought after by Martial Artists and Spiritual professionals alike and are also the main ingredients for various potions. They grow fast and can be harvested in 3 to 4 months.
Spirit Mushroom: Similar to the Vitality Mushroom, the Spirit Mushroom can increase the Spirit attribute and is used to make potions with different effects, such as rapid recovery potions for spiritual power.
This mushroom also exudes soothing properties for the mind, making it even more sought-after.
A mature Tier-1 Vitality Mushroom is about 5 Shadow points each, while a mature Spirit Mushroom is around 7 to 8 Shadow points each.
However, Mushroom Mycelium is very cheap, with one Shadow point you can buy around 10 Mushroom Mycelium.
If all 10 mycelium mature, that will yield about 50 times the profit, but most of the time, even experienced Spiritual Planters can only grow 3 to 4 mushrooms successfully.
Additionally, the cost of materials required during their growth process is not cheap.
"However, others might struggle, but I have life energy that can be used to rapidly grow the spirit mushrooms and vitality mushrooms."
"I don\'t know how much life energy each mushroom needs to mature, but with my ability to continuously generate life energy and spiritual power, it should not be a problem to mature enough to sell back and earn shadow points quickly."
With the remaining 7 shadow points, he bought 40 Vitality mushroom mycelium and 30 Spirit mushroom mycelium.
After spending all his 100 shadow points, Ram handed back the holographic device with the items he selected in his hand to the old man.
"Here you go," Ram said, returning the device.
The old man first checked the items Ram needed and nodded. "No skill cards or professional materials, eh?" he mused but didn\'t ask further.
He went inside the store to gather the selected items.
Ram waited patiently. The old man came out just as he went in, holding three small, sealed boxes with seeds inside and two old books.
"Here are the things you bought," the old man said, handing the items to Ram.
"Thank you," Ram replied, paying the amount after taking all the items. He stored them inside his backpack and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he asked, "Do you know of any other pharmaceutical stores nearby?"
The old man nodded and gave him the details. "There\'s one down the street and another a few blocks over. They should have what you need."
"Thanks again," Ram said, and he left the store, feeling satisfied with his purchases.
He soon found a small, tucked-away alley that led to an old, abandoned building generally used by orphans.
It was perfect enough to avoid unwanted attention, yet close enough to the main street for easy access to resources.
He first opened the box with the mushroom mycelium. Inside were 70 small, bean-like crystals with mycelium inside, each preserved carefully.
Ram picked one up and began infusing it with life energy. The small mycelium absorbed the life energy rapidly, and within a few seconds, it had grown into a fist-sized red mushroom after absorbing about 7 points of life energy.
"Impressive," Ram thought, watching the rapid transformation then an attribute panel appeared in front of him.
[ Name: Vitality Mushroom]
[ Species: Fungus]
[ Tier: 1(+)]
[ Quality: High]
[ Effect: Increases \'Physique\' by 1 point, accelerates healing, revitalizes Qi and Blood]
[ Maturity: Fully grown]
He nodded, satisfied with the result, and repeated the process with the other mycelium. Most of the vitality mushrooms absorbed about 7 to 8 points of life energy, while the spirit mushrooms required more, absorbing 16 to 20 points each, twice that of the vitality mushrooms.
Only a few mycelia were damaged and didn\'t grow, but the majority grew very fast and healthily.
