Chapter 906: It Couldn’t Possibly Be Filled With Crap, Right?

"Fertilizer?"

Hearing this unfamiliar term, Grand Priest Mu Clan Chief shook her head blankly, her face filled with doubt.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan smiled slightly. He didn't explain directly, but instead asked with a calm expression:

"Your tribe suffered a pestilence this time. Although the Wood-Devouring Insects were exterminated in time, after this ordeal, the grain in the fields is destined to face a reduction in yield. I wonder if you have any countermeasures?"

According to his observations, although the Wood Clan tribe lived in the forest, the village was surrounded by large areas of farmland. This proved that these Great Void natives still lived by farming; at least they weren't the kind of savage race that ate raw meat and drank blood.

Since the Wood Clan also farmed, then this thing called Fertilizer might just come in handy…

On the other side, facing someone's inquiry, a look of worry appeared on Mu Clan Chief's aged face as she sighed and said:

"Fortunately, we had Shopkeeper Chen's Insecticide, so the grain in the fields wasn't completely destroyed. However, this can still be called a heavy loss."

"To get through this crisis, this old one plans to have those clansmen who have Awakening abilities take action to help ripen the grain in the fields. Although it won't fully make up for the food gap, it's better than nothing. It should prevent too many clansmen from starving to death…"

Through the explanation of the Wood Clan Grand Elder, Qi Yuan finally understood that among the entire Wood Clan's population of over a hundred thousand, there were fewer than ten Ability Users who had successfully awakened the power to manipulate plants. The probability of Awakening was pitifully low.

Moreover, Ability Users were not invincible. Every time they acted, it consumed a huge amount of energy. Even someone as strong as Mu Qingqing could only ripen the grain of a thousand acres of fertile land at a time. Any more and she would be exhausted to the point of death.

After their energy was exhausted, Ability Users often needed a long time to recover. During the recovery process, these Ability Users would lose the ability to protect the tribe.

Because of this, no matter how short of food the Wood Clan was, they didn't dare let all the Ability Users step forward to ripen the fields. Otherwise, once the news spread, it would inevitably attract the greed of rival tribes, and the consequences would be unimaginable…

After learning this, Qi Yuan became much more confident in the role of Fertilizer. Even if it wasn't as immediate as the Insecticide, it could alleviate the Wood Clan's food crisis.

Most importantly, after witnessing the ridiculous effects of the dichlorvos, a special idea had vaguely formed in his mind. He now desperately needed an opportunity to verify it.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan quickly made up his mind and said with a serious face:

"To tell you the truth, Fertilizer is a kind of miraculous creation specifically used to increase grain yield. As long as you sprinkle it on the ground, it can achieve an effect similar to using abilities to ripen the crops!"

"What?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only was the Wood Clan Grand Elder shocked, but even the surrounding Wood Clan members gasped one after another, their gazes toward him filled with disbelief.

Sprinkling it on the ground could increase grain yield… How could such a divine object exist in this world?

Mu Clan Chief was, after all, the leader of a clan who had experienced great storms. After a brief moment of being dazed, she was the first to react and requested impatiently:

"Please take this object out, Shopkeeper Chen, and let this old one see it. If Fertilizer is truly as miraculous as you say, our Wood Clan is willing to purchase it at a high price!"

"No problem."

Qi Yuan nodded and quickly spent a 'huge sum' of ten counterattack points to purchase a hundred bags of Jinkela from the System Store. It also came with a free tutorial titled 'Local Methods of Fertilizer Production'…

Of course, he wasn't so stupid as to take all one hundred bags of Fertilizer out of the System space. Instead, he casually pulled out one bag and placed it heavily before the eyes of the natives.

Looking at the glittering golden Fertilizer bag and the lifelike bald old man on it, these Great Void natives, who had never seen the world, suddenly felt that it looked very impressive, even if they didn't understand it.

Although they couldn't understand the words and symbols on it, they had to admit that this thing looked extraordinary!

A short while later.

Wood Clan tribe.

In a messy farmland, the Wood Clan Grand Elder, Mu Clan Chief, took a deep breath. Her wrinkled old face carried a hint of nervousness and excitement as she tremblingly opened the Fertilizer bag.

Soon, an indescribable stench wafted out from inside, making her brows furrow so hard she almost threw up on the spot.

As this smell drifted out, the Wood Clan members who were craning their necks to watch almost simultaneously covered their noses, their gazes toward the Fertilizer full of oddity.

Good heavens!

It's so stinky… it couldn't possibly be filled with crap, right?

Just as everyone was beginning to doubt the Fertilizer's effects, Mu Clan Chief endured the nausea, reached into the bag to grab a handful of Jinkela, and mixed it with water.

Then, holding her breath under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she sprinkled it evenly over a patch of crops that looked half-dead.

In the next moment, a miraculous scene occurred. As the Fertilizer seeped into the soil, the originally withered and decaying crops quickly straightened up and grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye…

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the seedlings that were originally only half a foot tall grew to a full five or six feet. Moreover, each one was plump and upright, bursting with vitality, completing a transformation as if they had been reborn!

Looking at this scene that transcended common sense, everyone present—including Qi Yuan, who had taken out the Jinkela—was stunned, simply unable to believe their eyes.

This Fertilizer… is simply too incredible!

While the entire Wood Clan was dumbfounded, Qi Yuan, having snapped out of it, had eyes shining with light. His breathing was hurried, and his heart couldn't help but throb wildly.

It really is so!

Through these two experiments, he had more or less figured out what the greatest characteristic of the Great Void world was!

The reason the Great Dao was severed here was not because the Great Dao had disappeared.

On the contrary, it was because the power of the Great Dao in this place was too strong—so strong that no living being could withstand it. This was why almost all supernatural powers could not be used in the Great Void!

If a Cultivator was seen as a fish, the Great Dao power of the outside world was a pool of water, while the Great Dao power inside the Great Void was like a block of hard ice!

Even if a fish had great abilities, it couldn't dream of swimming inside a block of ice.

At the same time, an overly powerful Great Dao force would lead to another result: the characteristics of various substances would be magnified countless times!

Therefore, whether it was the Insecticide or the Fertilizer, the effects they produced were much stronger than in the outside world!

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain everything that was happening now.

Even if it was produced by the System, it would only guarantee perfect quality; the item would still be the same item, and it shouldn't produce such ridiculous additional effects.

Thinking of this, a slightly strange thought suddenly surfaced in Qi Yuan's mind:

Perhaps, compared to universal cultivation, this place called the Great Void is more suitable for developing technology…
