Astral Gods

Chapter 31 Insulation Room

It was still early, and Zizhu usually worked in her own territory and didn't often come over to check on the growth of the three little life-seedlings. Today, she happened to have some free time, so she came over to take a look.

As an elder, it commented on the fate seeds of the three little ones one by one: "Purple Locust, don't water your fate seed too much, just water it appropriately."

"Zi Ai, you have time to fight, but not time to loosen the soil for your life seed."

Both of them had already advanced to intermediate warriors and were growing at an evolutionary rate of advancing one age every three months. At this moment, they had already advanced to intermediate warriors at the 3-year age.

Eleven of their seedlings were planted. As more seedlings were planted, the children had to attend classes in the morning and play in the afternoon, so they didn't take good care of the seedlings.

"Okay, okay." The two little soldiers obediently accepted the criticism.

Zizhu scolded, "What are you still 'oh'ing for? Hurry up and loosen the soil around your life seeds! What are you waiting for, to be beaten by me?"

Upon hearing Zizhu's words, the two little ones belatedly realized what was happening and quickly went to loosen the soil around the life-giving seed.

After scolding the lazy little soldier, Zizhu checked the life seeds that Zishan had planted.

After more than half a year, Zishan has also advanced to the seventh-age beginner warrior level.

After planting the red cypress seedlings, it also planted green-hearted sunflower seedlings, multi-seed green grape seedlings, and sweet kiwi seedlings.

It is already three years old, and will soon be four. The total lifespan of a novice warrior is only ten years. If it cannot evolve into an intermediate warrior by the age of five, it will be very dangerous to advance further.

However, this time Lord Purple Plum traded them a batch of divinely bestowed food suitable for the little warriors, which should be enough for the yews to evolve for three ages. Once they reach the intermediate stage, the little warriors' lifespan will reach 50 years, and their growth potential will be much greater.

Zizhu checked the growth status of the six life seeds. It must be because Zitong often came to check on them that the many life seeds of Zishan were growing quite well. Otherwise, the playful little warrior wouldn't have taken such good care of them.

Zizhu reminded the young soldiers: "You don't have classes in winter, so you have a three-month vacation to play, but don't neglect your life seed."

Although it won't be very cold on our island, the temperature will still drop significantly, which will slow down the growth rate of the life-sustaining plants, or even stop them altogether. You'll need to take even better care of them then.

"Won't."

No, it won't.

The three little ones refuted Zizhu's words: "The Lord of Zehui Mountain taught us a way to ensure the continued growth of life seeds in winter. As long as it is handled well, life seeds can thrive even in winter."

"Oh." Zizhu was a little puzzled. It had always thought that Zehui taught them only simple numbers and methods like 1+1 and 1+2.

Sometimes I even feel like I've been cheated by Qingzhu Jiawang. With this kind of teaching quality, it's not worth investing 10 raw stones a year at all.

If there really is a way to ensure the continued growth of life-sustaining seeds even in winter, and it can be promoted to be used by the entire tribe, then it would be worth more than 50 primal stones, even 500 million primal stones.

At this moment, the yew tree didn't care whether it was addressing an elder or not; it humbly asked, "What did the Lord of Zehui Mountain say? What method can be used to ensure that the life seed can grow at a normal rate even in winter?"

"Haha, Zizhu is starting to ask us questions too." The three little ones were very proud.

This made Zizhu somewhat embarrassed and angry. She waved her antennae and tapped the three little ones on the head one by one: "Stop the useless nonsense and tell me your solution."

"Zizhu, you're asking us questions, but you won't let us answer them."

"That's right, that's right."

"Zizhu is not modest at all."

Under Zizhu's death stare, the three little ones' voices gradually quieted down before they honestly said, "This method isn't difficult either. Zizhu, you should know that the Flame Spider Merchant's silk pouch can seal off the Force, even the all-pervasive Force. So, it's naturally even less of a problem to deal with the cold air from the outside."

"The bishop of Zehui Mountain told us that our solution was to build a large frame around the life seed and cover it from the outside with a huge piece of spider silk cloth, so that the cold air in winter could not get in."

The three children eagerly chimed in, "The Lord of Zehui Mountain also said that we don't necessarily need to use spider silk cloth. We can also use earth and stone to create a warming chamber. This way, we won't block the penetration of the primal force, and the effect might even be better."

"If one possesses fire-type talent, the temperature can be appropriately increased in the insulated room, which may even allow the life-seed fruits, which originally produce once a year, to ripen three times in two years or twice a year."

"Is that so?" Hearing the three little ones' words, Zizhu was greatly moved. If it was really possible to make the life seed achieve three harvests in two years or even two harvests in one year, then the value of this technique would be extremely high.

However, it still had a question: "Plants need light to grow, so if a protective shield is formed, how will the light reach the plants?"

"Purple Pearl is really stupid," Purple Locust boldly commented: "All you need to do is make an opening in the greenhouse, cover it with cobweb cloth, and open the cobweb cloth during the day so the sun can shine in."

Alternatively, you could simply embed a piece of clear crystal, allowing sunlight to shine directly in.

Purple Pearl brandished her antennae and pounded Purple Locust's head: "I've been sending you to school for half a year, and you're getting more and more cocky. It's been too long since I've given you a good whack, hasn't it?"

The purple acacia tree clutched its head and screamed in agony, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! This bug is going to be knocked senseless!"

Zi Ai and Zi Shan huddled together, trembling as they looked at the tragic scene.

After reprimanding Zihuai, Zizhu fell into deep thought. It carefully considered that the weather was a major reason why the life seed's growth slowed down in winter.

If a greenhouse could really be built, not only would the life-seeds be able to produce twice a year, but their growth would definitely be faster.

However, just to be on the safe side, it still wants to test it first.

Without hesitation, Zizhu grasped some earth-solidification ability at the advanced stage. After advancing to the Mountain Lord level in the future, there is a high probability that she will awaken the earth-type talent.

It can use earth-type abilities on its own, so it doesn't need to ask other insects for help.

It wanted to see if the insulated room made with earth and stone could actually keep the room warm.

Of course, it couldn't directly experiment on Destiny Seeds; if something happened to a Destiny Seed, it would be all over.

Because the yew is a divinely ordained species, there are no other species within 500 meters of it to prevent other primal plants from competing with it for primal power. Therefore, Zizhu can boldly conduct experiments here.

It selected an open space, directly used its soil-stabilizing ability to solidify the surrounding soil into four enclosed walls, and then manipulated the soil to seal the top as well, thus completely sealing off the space inside.

It's already October, and it's still very hot in the morning, but the temperature cools down in the evening. It waited until night to open the enclosed space and found that the temperature inside was indeed higher than outside. This made it marvel.

Zizhu muttered, "The teachings of the Mountain Master of Zehui Mountain are actually quite effective. I'll go and listen to his lectures next year when I have time."

After confirming that creating such a closed space could indeed achieve a certain level of insulation, Zizhu dared not delay and immediately went to find Lord Zili.
