Chapter 342 - The Strange Phenomenon Appears Again (1/2)

Countless strands of fibers extended out from the root of the stem, enveloping the whole of the crystal object.

A spiritual herb grew out of a crystal object, just like that. Who would believe it if Zhang Che talked about it?

If he didn’t see it for himself, Zhang Che was sure that he wouldn’t believe it, either.

So, he immediately started searching through the memories of his predecessor. After about a quarter of an hour, he finally recalled the name of this crystal, as well as its effects.

Spiritual Jade was the name given to this mysterious crystal by the humans on Mercury.

The name didn’t sound like anything special, but its effects were especially heaven-defying.

It was just like how Zhang Che discovered it. By burying the spiritual jade in the earth, then planting a spiritual herb with its roots intact above it, it would allow the immature spiritual herbs to continue growing, until it was fully matured.

Not only that, according to the information in his memories, the publicly known biggest spiritual jade in the world was only about a cubic foot in size, said to be owned by a large faction in the Ou Lu region. Its estimated value was over a hundred million… in purple crystal points, to boot!

The spiritual jade Zhang Che discovered was in an uneven oval shape. The widest section was over a meter across, and the narrowest area was also over half a meter across!

“How many purple crystal points is this worth!?”

Once again, Zhang Che really hated his poor math skills. Even with the golden vortex greatly improving his thinking skills, these things that involved general knowledge weren’t something he could understand by having faster thinking.

He could make a rough estimation. At the very least, this spiritual jade was worth over a billion purple crystal points!

It sounded like a huge fortune, but it wouldn’t be easy to convert it into liquid assets. Moreover, his father-in-law’s family seemed to be well-versed in this area. If he were to find out Zhang Che sold off such a treasure, he might beat Zhang Che to death in a fit of anger!

-Hmm, when I return to Hua Xia, I’ll rent this out to father-in-law. The amount of rent I can earn a year would be astronomical! Hehehe…-

“Shit!” Zhang Che suddenly thought of something, and his face immediately sank.

That snow lotus seemed to have yet to fully mature, but he had cut it off from the stem down. There was no chance to continue nurturing it anymore.

A spiritual herb of this level would be at least twice as effective if it was fully matured!

Zhang Che felt his heart ache, and felt as if he couldn’t breathe. But, no one could have thought that such a big piece of spiritual jade would be underneath, right?

Zhang Che could only console himself that way in the end. Afterwards, he had the Purple Crystal Tortoise dig out the spiritual jade and stored it in its spatial pocket.

Not only that, after digging out the spiritual jade, Zhang Che didn’t leave it at that. He directly had the Purple Crystal Tortoise enter the body of this mountain to search carefully, hoping to find more treasures.

Alas, the results were disappointing.

The spiritual qi on this mountain, or perhaps even this entire area, must have gathered onto that large spiritual jade. How could there be any other precious minerals nearby?

“One mustn’t be too greedy…” Zhang Che sighed, shaking his head. He summoned the Purple Jade Condor, flying deeper into the beast world.

His harvests on this trip were already surprisingly plentiful.
