Chapter 577: 10 Types of Abandoned Insect Mushroom

This chapter is an extra update sponsored by the "Forget About Naming" reward.

Time flew by, and it was already early June.

The team for the Abandoned Insect Mushroom trade, agreed upon with Count Jonas Moonflower, had finally arrived at Black Horse Island. Leading the team was Jonas's son, Jonas Moonflower, a formal member of the Blue Blood Knights.

"Viscount, allow me to introduce the heads of the families in our delegation. This is Lasvia White Glutinous Rice, the second son of the Marquis of Leather Island..." Jonas introduced four scions of major noble houses: two sons of marquises and two sons of counts, totaling five families including his own.

Liszt warmly welcomed these noble scions, hosting them on Black Horse Island for half a day before commencing negotiations.

The Abandoned Insect Mushroom managed by Jonas's family is the Blue Pine Mushroom, a water-attribute variety; Lasvia's family oversees the Golden Thread Fungus, an earth-attribute type. The other three varieties are the dark-attribute Black Truffle, the ice-attribute Monkey Head Mushroom, and the thunder-attribute Horse Fart Fungus.

Each family brought not only mushroom spores and secret recipes but also ten serfs adept at cultivating Abandoned Insect Mushrooms.

Liszt could engage in individual technical exchanges and desired these serfs, but he needed to provide serfs skilled in cultivating Flame Mushrooms in return.

Fifty serfs had been pre-selected, all of whom were without families.

Each family conducted separate exchanges and signed a treaty barring the indiscriminate dissemination of these Abandoned Insect Mushrooms, as their specific distribution ranges could be significantly harmed by random spread.

Compensation varied in gold coins based on the quality, yield, and utility of each Abandoned Insect Mushroom. Overall, however, Liszt's Flame Mushrooms not only broke even but also netted a slight profit of eight hundred gold coins. Flame Mushrooms, being fire-attribute Abandoned Insect Mushrooms, have broad applications.

After all, numerous knights possess fire-attribute mana, and the flame potion derived from Flame Mushrooms is of high quality, making it naturally more expensive.

Thus, the trade concluded, and the Black Horse Island territory abruptly acquired five new magical herb specialties.

However, Liszt, harboring further ambitions, questioned these five noble scions about other noble lords who possessed Abandoned Insect Mushrooms.

He discovered that, aside from Flame Mushrooms, the Sapphire Duchy harbored eight types of Abandoned Insect Mushrooms. Owing to their low yield and scarcity, most people remain ignorant of what Abandoned Insect Mushrooms truly are.

Five of these had already been traded to Liszt, while the remaining three were excluded by Count Jonas because of overlapping territories.

These three Abandoned Insect Mushrooms include the water-attribute White Ghost Pen from Count Salier Blue Jacaranda's domain in Thunder Sound City, the earth-attribute Big Chicken Mushroom from Count Bross Butterfly Orchid's realm on Red Sand Island, and the wind-attribute Green Wood Ear from Viscount Tevis White Poplar's territory in Falling Leaf City.

After the five noble scions departed Black Horse Island with Flame Mushroom spores, recipes, materials, and serfs,

Liszt secretly plotted: "Blue Pine Mushroom, Black Truffle, Golden Thread Fungus, Monkey Head Mushroom, and Horse Fart Fungus have already been traded for my Flame Mushrooms. But I possess not only Flame Mushrooms but also Snow and Ice Flame Mushrooms cultivated in winter. I wonder if they will inhibit each other."

Snow and Ice Flame Mushrooms represent a variant strain of Flame Mushrooms.

"Let's attempt cultivating them this winter. If no restrictions arise, I can leverage Snow and Ice Flame Mushrooms for further trades. I could exchange for Big Chicken Mushroom, Green Wood Ear, and White Ghost Pen... Thus, I would possess ten varieties of Abandoned Insect Mushrooms, and cultivating ten thousand acres would be feasible!"

Ten thousand acres of Abandoned Insect Mushrooms would yield more magical herbs than those produced by the Giant Kelp Grand Sprite, Pyke.

This signifies that the territory has acquired another Grand Sprite.

Absolutely delightful!

...

The joy of Abandoned Insect Mushrooms had just passed when the smoke task made a breakthrough. After continuously caring for the Thorn Fairy Jie La, the task was finally completed.

"Task completed, reward: fire attribute magical herb variant Thorn."

Liszt couldn't help but be stunned: "Fire attribute fast-growing magical Thorn?" The task introduction for fast-growing magical Thorn stated that it is a variant of magical herb Thorn, belonging to the chaos attribute. Now, with the addition of the fire attribute, its chaos attribute has undoubtedly mutated into a fire attribute.

The value of Chaos attribute and single attribute potions cannot be definitively said to be higher or lower.

However, for Liszt, the Fire attribute Rapid Growth Magic Thorn is more valuable because both he and the Fire Drake are Fire attribute.

Fire attribute potions have the greatest effect on their potion enhancement.

In the over 800 acres of Thorn Potion fields, Liszt carefully searched and finally found a mutated thorn glowing with a red magic aura in a corner.

He named this thorn the Rapid Fire Thorn.

He planned to plant Rapid Fire Thorns around Jie La's insect mushroom, while continuing to plant Rapid Growth Magic Thorns around the insect mushrooms of the other two Thorn Bugs, in case the Rapid Growth Magic Thorns mutate again in the future.

"Jie La, well done!" Liszt turned his head and gave a kiss to Jie La, who was squatting on his shoulder.

Jie La immediately laughed, mixed with "Woo wah" sounds.

Liszt found her more and more pleasing to the eye.

Not only does he have a "first time" sentiment for Jie La, but more importantly, the thorns mutated by Jie La all have the 'rapid growth' attribute, growing much faster than other plants. Like the Rapid Growth Magic Thorn, under the blessing of the insect mushroom, it can be harvested four times a year, even faster than growing wheat.

As for now.

Liszt also found that the thorns influenced by Jie La have a strong 'mutation' attribute: Rapid Thorn, Rapid Poison Thorn, Rapid Spike Thorn, Rapid Magic Thorn, Rapid Iron Thorn, and the latest Rapid Fire Thorn, a total of six new varieties of thorns have been mutated.

"But speaking of which, when Jie La's insect mushroom influences the mutation of thorns, it always seems to carry a strong emotional tone?"

Originally, the Thorn Bug, unwilling to face the end of its lifespan, strongly erupted, mutating into five kinds of thorns, finally breaking the shackles of fate and evolving into a Thorn Fairy.

Now it's Jie La who, feeling wronged and with nowhere to vent her anger, mutated into the Rapid Fire Thorn.

Looking at Jie La, who was tired from playing and started to doze off, he narrowed his eyes: "Perhaps, I should often 'stimulate' Jie La in the future? Maybe one day it will stimulate her to evolve into a Grand Sprite?" Among all the spirit bugs, he loves Jie La the most and hopes that Jie La can continue to evolve.

To become a Grand Sprite with a lifespan of two hundred years, or even a Dragon Sprite with a lifespan of five hundred years, accompanying him by his side—just as he plans to become the Lord of Dragon Domain one day, probably living for four or five hundred years.

So it must be stimulated!

As for how to stimulate her, that's another matter.

The drowsy Jie La, unaware of what her master is plotting, and what kind of waves her future life will stir.

At this moment,

Liszt shifted his attention, looking at the latest task.

"Task: All Abandoned Insect Mushrooms have been traded, Blue Pine Mushroom, Black Truffle, Golden Thread Fungus, Monkey Head Mushroom, and Horse Fart Fungus are all important potion crops that can provide a continuous output of potions, please arrange these Abandoned Insect Mushrooms properly. Reward: a Spirit Bug."

In a good mood, he smiled and muttered: "Hmm, another Spirit Bug, good, the more Spirit Bugs the better."
