Chapter 130: Chapter 98: Bountiful Harvest, Seed of the Golden Ancient Tree

’Nimue’s skills are pretty good. As expected of a High Level talent. I really hit the jackpot this time.’

’But... the kind of food she whips up is a bit too... experimental, isn’t it?’

Shen Xing stood at the door, reflecting for a moment, then shook his head. ’Forget it. I’ll just plant that Golden Ancient Tree Seed first.’

He pushed his wheelchair to an empty plot of land on the west side of his territory, about seventy meters from the Campfire.

’This spot isn’t bad.’

’But... before planting it, I should check for a guide on the forums first.’

According to the seed’s Introduction, it just said to plant it within the territory, with no mention of specific planting methods or precautions.

If he messed up by planting it carelessly and destroyed the seed, it would be too late for regrets.

Shen Xing opened the Pioneer forum and did a keyword search.

However, only a few introductory posts about Ancient Trees popped up.

He went through every post, not even skipping the comment sections, but still couldn’t find any information on how to plant these Ancient Trees.

’Strange... nothing at all?’

’Is it because planting these Ancient Trees doesn’t require any special method?’

’Or are they just so rare that not many players have obtained them, which is why there are no records about it?’

Shen Xing mulled it over for a moment. He remembered Xia Wanyin once mentioning that someone had planted an Ancient Tree Seed in their territory, so she should know a thing or two about it.

’To be safe, I should just ask her.’

He logged out of the game, opened Green Bubble, and sent a voice message to Xia Wanyin.

Starfire: "Do you know how to plant these Ancient Tree Seeds?"

A moment later, his phone vibrated. It was a voice message from Xia Wanyin.

He hit play, and the woman’s surprised voice came through the speaker: "Huh? An Ancient Tree Seed... You’ve already gotten one?"

"Yeah, I got lucky and happened to find a Holy Altar," Shen Xing replied.

"Wow! You’re so lucky!" Xia Wanyin said excitedly. "I heard from a friend that these Ancient Tree Seeds are extremely rare."

"Even if you find a Holy Altar in the wild, the chance of getting one is incredibly low."

"Right now, there are fewer than ten Lords in the entire world who have an Ancient Tree in their territory."

Shen Xing nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

Fewer than ten players in the whole world had an Ancient Tree Seed. No wonder there were no records on the forums; they really were just that rare.

’But the ones those players have are probably just Bronze or Silver Ancient Tree Seeds.’

’And this Gold seed in my hands... could it be the only one in the world?’

"Shen Xing, hold on a second. Let me ask my friend."

"Okay."

Shen Xing replied and waited patiently.

「Meanwhile, in a lakeside villa.」

"Lingyin."

A girl in a white dress and white socks, her eyes vacant, walked out of her room. She felt her way to another bedroom and called out softly.

On the large bed in the bedroom, a woman in a black bodysuit with a cascade of black hair turned her head. "Wanyin, what is it?"

"Sister, I remember you said you got a Bronze Ancient Tree Seed in the game and planted it in your territory."

Xia Wanyin said softly, "My friend from the game seems to have gotten a seed too, and he wanted me to ask you if there are any special precautions for planting it."

"An Ancient Tree Seed?" The woman with long, straight black hair on the bed propped herself up, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Is it a Bronze or a Silver Ancient Tree Seed?"

"Ah? I didn’t ask," Xia Wanyin said. "Should I go ask him?"

The woman with long, straight black hair thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Never mind. The planting method is more or less the same for both Bronze and Silver Ancient Trees."

"Your friend is quite lucky. He got a Hero Altar and now an Ancient Tree Seed. He has a lot of Potential in the future."

"Maybe he’ll even break into the top thousand on the leaderboards this time."

A smile appeared on Xia Wanyin’s face, pleased by the other woman’s praise for her friend.

She asked tentatively, "Sister... can I invite him to our group?"

The black-haired woman on the bed glanced at her and said coolly, "His Potential is decent, but at the end of the day, he’s just an Apprentice Level Lord. He doesn’t yet qualify to join our group."

"Any so-called genius is nothing until they’ve actually proven themselves."

"The Land of Mist is a deep and treacherous place, and there are far more experts than you imagine."

"Okay..." Xia Wanyin lowered her head, a little dejected. "Then, Lingyin, could you just tell me how to plant these seeds?"

The black-haired woman fell silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Just tell him that to plant an Ancient Tree Seed, you need to..."
