Chapter 339 - 339 335 Illusion Reappears (9.25 Make-up Update~22)

339: Chapter 335: Illusion Reappears (9.25 Make-up Update~2/2) 339: Chapter 335: Illusion Reappears (9.25 Make-up Update~2/2) Lily, although naive and kind, is not ignorant of worldly matters; in fact, she’s quite smart.

She listened intently and quickly grasped the main points.

“So the plants you plan to grow in this camp, are they from the Trial World?

You want me to learn how to plant these, then teach the other tribespeople?”

Mu Ying nodded, “To save on consumption, I only brought back one sample of each plant.

I need to grow them myself first; once I have seeds, then I can expand the cultivation and distribute seeds to you all.

But rest assured, I will start with the plants whose cultivation methods I’ve mastered in the Trial World—there’s a very small chance of failure.”

“Yingying, are you silly?

Such precious things, and you plan to just give them to us?

And let me learn for free?” Lily was both moved and worried.

Priestess Granny had said Yingying was more mature and sensible than she was, yet she was clearly a big fool.

“Er, they’re not that precious.

The plants I’m giving you are just ordinary ornamental ones, many magic plants you wouldn’t be able to grow anyway.

Since I’ll be planting a batch myself, I also want the seabed to become prettier.

Alone, I wouldn’t be able to finish planting them all, and with your help, it’ll be quicker!”

Mu Ying explained.

She also thought that if the mermaids shared the same goal as hers, a lot of effort could be saved.

“Yingying, I can’t decide on this matter.

Also, I’m actually really bad at growing coral.

I might not even learn how to do it.

Anyway, you should come back with me and talk to Priestess Granny,”, Lily thought Priestess Granny, who liked Yingying so much, would definitely not let her suffer a loss.

Having said that, she grabbed Mu Ying and rushed into the Sea Forest.

For Mu Ying, who found it hard to balance with her human legs in the water, was inadvertently dragged away without a moment’s notice.

She gave up resisting, especially since it was very likely that Lily would not be able to learn.

It would be best if the mermaids could remember the key points during her first planting, so she wouldn’t need to worry about it afterward.

Otherwise, if she had to plant glowing plants all over the sea herself, she might die of exhaustion.

“Granny!

Granny!”

Lily’s voice arrived at Priestess Granny’s ears before she did.

“What happened, to be in such a rush?”

Priestess Granny said helplessly.

Then she saw that Lily was still pulling Mu Ying along and rescued her from Lily’s hands.

“Granny, it’s not me who has an issue, it’s Yingying,” Lily said, “Yingying, quickly show Granny what you just showed me.”

Mu Ying shook her head: “That was the last of my Mana Value just now.”

“Oh Granny, Yingying found lots of beautiful plants in the Trial World’s ocean, and she took some out.

She wants to try cultivating them and then give us the seeds of those bright and colorful plants and teach us how to grow them.

Isn’t she silly?” Lily spoke in a rush.

“It’s truly beautiful, oh, the mermaids in that world are so fortunate to witness such beautiful things every day!

And the key thing is, they glow!”

“It’s quite silly,” Priestess Granny nodded, “Mu Girl, Granny has enough money, no need to save for us.”

“...” Mu Ying felt helpless, she was not foolish, so why would she be the kind of person who despises making money?

“Granny, I’m cultivating these in order to raise some novel plants and accumulate experience for leveling up.

The precious ones are the magic plants.

Without the unique magic power from the Trial World, you might not be able to grow them; I’ll definitely use these to make magic potions to earn money.

However, there are many plants that are common and have no other practical economic use except for the fluorescent material, purely for ornamental beauty.

These are what I plan to give you because, after all, we’ll need your help to spread these plants throughout the entire sea territory,” Mu Ying said sincerely.

Mu Ying spoke the absolute truth.

“Yingying, what you’re talking about sounds like you’re enlisting us to help you plant things, but beauty is very precious to us mermaids.

It’s dark underwater, and life can be rather dull; any glowing thing, any beautiful object, is worth spending a lot of money to pursue.

Not to mention plants that can be cultivated on a large scale to beautify the sea floor, which are very important for increasing the happiness in our lives, right Granny?”

Lily spoke convincingly, making Mu Ying feel as though she were helping her negotiate and pitch a sale.

“You little clever spirit!” Priestess Granny laughed as she tapped Lily’s nose, “Nevertheless, Lily is right, these things might not mean much to you but they could be highly valuable to us.”

She picked up her magic wand and waved it lightly, and a current of water began to swirl around Mu Ying.

Then, Mu Ying was amazed to feel her Mana Value recovering at a visible speed.

“How does it feel?” Priestess Granny asked.

Mu Ying nodded repeatedly, “Better than ever before!

What kind of spell is this?”

“This is the Talent Magic of the Mermaid Priest—Water Tide, Mu Girl.

First, show me what you showed Lily, then I’ll decide what price to trade with you.

I believe, instead of money, you might need something more useful for your cultivation,” Priestess Granny said.

Upon hearing this, even Mu Ying, who hadn’t really been planning to make a huge profit from those ordinary plants, couldn’t help but harbor greedy thoughts.

Now with a territory as a tool for making money, she could resist the temptation of cash, but not the allure of something that could aid her in gaining strength.

She hurriedly began projecting the Illusion, showing even more detail than she had with Lily, including several different underwater scenes—not only ordinary fluorescent plants, but also some beautiful magic plants, including the Crystal Palace.

“Is that Crystal Palace also a plant?” The widely experienced Priestess Granny was curious and longed for such an underwater world.

Mu Ying nodded, “That’s the Seven-colored Crystal Coral, a mutation of the Crystal Coral.

I might not be able to cultivate that because there is only one plant, but the monochrome Crystal Corals are available.

However, they are magic plants, and their cultivation requires support from magic power.

Moreover, to grow that large, it takes a very, very long time, and the mermaids of that world are capable of Water Magic.”

“I’m so envious!

Their ocean is so beautiful!” Lily felt spellbound upon the second viewing, almost wishing she could dive right into the Illusion.

“Are those in the territory all common plants?” Priestess Granny too envied the mermaids of that world, but with Mu Ying around, it wasn’t impossible to transform their homeland into a place of such beauty.

Therefore, those plants that they could cultivate themselves were even more important than the Crystal Coral that couldn’t be widely propagated.

For aesthetics alone, these common plants were no less attractive than magic plants, some even more so.

Mu Ying nodded and switched to another underwater scene she had witnessed on her way to the Crystal City, “Ninety-eight or ninety-nine percent of them are, and with the right environment, they’re very easy to cultivate.”
