Chapter 160: The Miraculous Fruit

Looking at a large area of plants that grew directly in the stones, rather than in the soil in the cracks of the stones, Yang Tian felt that the magic was five strokes.

Now that you've found the stone fruit vine you want, the next step is to pick the fruit and transplant the plant. Fortunately, whether it is the method of picking or transplanting, the information is available.

In fact, if you want to cultivate a fruit plant, no matter which plant it is, the best way is to cultivate it with seeds. However, the fruit of the Earth Qi Fruit is very special, Yang Tian didn't think it was even better than reading the information before, but now that he read the information carefully, Yang Tiancai felt that it was very magical.

The fruit of the earth will bear fruit, but there will not necessarily be seeds in the fruit. Because the fruits of the earth qi fruit are divided into different grades and different types, a total of nine times of fruit, and only one fruit will produce seeds.

In fact, it is said that it bears fruit nine times, but it is better to say that it ripens nine times.

The fruit of the Earth Qi Fruit is divided into nine layers from bottom to top according to the height of the plant. The fruit that bears in the first layer at the bottom is the smallest, contains the least amount of earth qi essence, and ripens the fastest, taking only ten days to ripen. But it also decays quickly, and in just one day it will break away from the plant and rot into fertilizer.

The fruit of the second layer takes fifteen days to ripen, but it is left for only two days before it decomposes from the plant and turns into fertilizer.

The fruit of the third layer takes twenty days to ripen, and the fruit can be kept for three days, after which it will also rot into fertilizer.

These are the first three layers, and they are all used as fertilizer. From the fourth floor, there are different ones. The fruit of the fourth layer takes 30 days to ripen, and can remain on the plant for 10 days, after which it falls to the ground and still takes 10 days to rot. At the same time, after the fruit rots, the growth environment of the fruit plant will be modified to a certain extent, and it is not simply turned into fertilizer.

For example, after the fruit of the fourth layer of the stone qi fruit vine rots, the stone will be softened, which is more conducive to the growth of the earth qi fruit vine. Gradually, all the stones will turn into soil, and all the stone fruit vines will die, and their seeds will grow into the earth qi fruit trees.

The Earth Qi Fruit is such a magical plant, so it is not wrong to say that it is a magic plant.

The fruit of the fifth layer takes 40 days to ripen, remains on the plant for 20 days when ripe, and also takes 20 days to rot after landing.

The fruit of the sixth layer takes 50 hours to ripen, and it remains on the plant for 30 days when it is ripe, and it can be stored for 30 days after leaving the plant.

From the seventh layer onwards, there is a new change in the fruit. The fruit of the seventh layer will not mature until 90 days, and will fall from the plant immediately after it is ripe. But at the same time, compared to the previous fruit, this fruit has a hard shell, like a walnut. With a hard shell, the fruit can migrate nearby, or be carried farther away by animals, and decay on its own or be digested by the animals, which will have a certain effect on the environment.

The fruits of the seventh layer still do not have a reproductive effect, but they will change the environment to make it more conducive to the growth of the earth qi fruit. After leaving the plant, the fruit can be preserved for up to half a year.

The eighth layer is the same as the seventh layer, but the maturity period will become 180 days, the shell will be harder, and the changes to the environment will be greater. After the fruit leaves the plant, it can be stored for up to a year. The earthly qi fruits sold in the cookie star market are generally the seventh- and eighth-layer fruits.

Until the ninth layer, it is the fruit that really carries the seed, and this fruit contains a large amount of earth qi essence, but it is not very replenishing, but poisonous.

He himself does not contain poisonous ingredients, but because the concentration of the earth qi essence is too high, it is unbearable for ordinary living beings, and after eating, it will die directly, and even explode, turning into the fertilizer needed for the germination of earth qi fruit seeds.

I have to say that this is very vicious, because it contains a large amount of earth qi essence, which can attract animals to eat this fruit. It is also because the fruits of the first eight layers have a certain confusion about animals, so there will be no animal vigilance. However, after eating this fruit, the animal will be poisoned and turned into fertilizer, which will be used to grow the new earthly qi fruit.

This situation reminded Yang Tian of the liver of cod, because the content of vitamin A is too large, and it is poisonous to people. Therefore, the liver of cod cannot be eaten directly, but can only be used to refine cod liver oil. The earth qi fruit containing seeds cannot be eaten directly by humans, but it will be used to refine the earth qi essence.

At the same time, the fruit of the ninth layer ripens for up to 360 days, and its hard shell can be preserved for years or even decades if it is not suitable for germination. If it is suitable for germination, the seeds inside will break out of the shell, and the shell will naturally not be preserved for long. Because of this special surname, the ninth-layer Earth Qi Fruit is also often stored as a strategic reserve.

Knowing its special surname, you can pick the earth qi fruit purposefully. The first three layers must not be picked, unless they are eaten immediately, otherwise they cannot be brought back after picking, and they cannot be preserved if they are brought back.

To pick, you have to start from the fourth layer, and of course it is best to pick the fruit from the seventh layer and above. However, fruits above the seventh layer have a long ripening period, so it is difficult to come across them if you do not cultivate them yourself.

"When you see the fruit, pick some of it. Start picking from the fourth layer, don't pick the first three layers. Yang Tiandao.

"But what if I only see a layer of fruit?" Uther stared at those magic fruits and said solemnly, there was indeed no fourth layer.

Because the growth cycle of the fruit without a layer is different, and when the fruit is not yet ripe, it is not conspicuous, so it is normal not to see it. Yang Tian said again: "Count from the bottom to the top, you will find that the branches and leaves are layered, don't count the fruits." And when picking, don't use brute force, the fruit that is really ripe will fall off when touched, but the fruit that can be picked by brute force means that it is not ripe. If you don't pick the ever-ripe fruit, it will damage the plant. Damaged plants secrete a toxic gas that can cause hallucinations or death. ”

Secreting toxic gases is also a way for the Earth Qi Fruit to protect itself. Offering the fruit to other creatures to eat, spreading seeds and transforming the environment with the help of other organisms is a kind of contract between the Earth Qi Fruit and other creatures. But not all creatures can fulfill the contract perfectly, if there are brutal creatures that eat plants directly, or eat unripe fruits, the earth qi fruit will adopt a defense mechanism - secreting poisonous gases. Kill or drive away creatures that don't know the rules.

"It's amazing, it's really a magic plant! Luckily, we didn't pick it when we first found out. Uther said, "But when the lord said this, it really made people feel that there was pressure suddenly. ”

Indeed, it is not pleasant to know that this plant produces poisonous gas. Roses with thorns will still be picked by people, but knowing that the thorns of roses are poisonous and will kill people if they are pricked, will people who go to pick them still be so calm? (To be continued.) )
