Chapter 293 The Enlightenment Tea Tree

Taking advantage of An Qian’s inauguration as City Lord, Qin Shilei presented the golden treasure chest and several silver treasure chests. As his very first golden treasure chest, he hoped that through An Qian’s hands, it would yield an ultimate piece of equipment or item. An Qian first opened several silver treasure chests. In total, they obtained five purple items and several red items. The five purple items were two Golden Light Talismans, one Pet Bag, an ability called Half-Moon Thunder Dragon, and a combat skill called Thousand Entangling Threads.

Pet Bag (Purple): Can store pets and their subordinates within it, with a volume of ten thousand cubic meters.

Forced Entry (Red): Can forcibly capture exotic beasts that are a major realm below the host.

General Use (Red): In addition to storing exotic beasts, it can also contain general items.

Hundredfold Expansion (Purple): The capacity of the Pet Bag is increased a hundredfold.

Qin Shilei fixed the Hundredfold Expansion attribute for the Pet Bag. From its literal meaning, this Pet Bag could store his ant swarm, but he wasn’t sure if it could also store the golden beetles and the other insects controlled by them.

Thunder Dragon (Purple): A thunder-attribute ability, only suitable for those with thunder affinity to learn. It can summon a thunder dragon to deliver a destructive attack on the target.

Lifelike (Green): The thunder dragon summoned is not only lifelike but also emits a loud dragon roar.

Reduced Consumption (Red): The thunder dragon consumes half the ability points.

Double Dragon Play (Purple): Without increasing consumption, it summons two thunder dragons simultaneously to attack a single target or two targets.

Qin Shilei mindlessly chose the purple attribute Double Dragon Play and then directly learned it.

Combat Skill Thousand Entangling Threads (Purple): A whip or silk-based combat skill that conjures countless tenacious threads to entangle enemies. It possesses control and cutting effects.

Art of Binding (Green): When Thousand Entangling Threads binds a target, it presents an artistic flair.

Tenacity (Red): The tenacity of Thousand Entangling Threads is increased by fifty percent.

Guaranteed Hit (Purple): Once Thousand Entangling Threads is unleashed, it will envelop the target one hundred percent.

Qin Shilei fixed the Guaranteed Hit attribute. He planned to give it to Kong Qingshu later, and she would surely love it.

An Qian picked up the last golden treasure chest, feeling a bit nervous. “Husband, what do you think I’ll get?”

Qin Shilei encouraged her, “Open it. I believe you’ll always be the lucky European, An Qian.”

“Then I’m opening it.” An Qian casually clicked, and an orange light emanated from the treasure chest. The lucky European is always the lucky European! This was likely the first orange-quality item on Blue Star.

Enlightenment Tea Seedling (Orange): A spiritual treasure of heaven and earth. Upon consuming the tea leaves produced by this tea tree, one’s comprehension will be greatly enhanced within an hour. Frequent consumption will also permanently increase one’s comprehension.

Seeing the single small sapling in the treasure chest, Qin Shilei and An Qian’s breathing quickened. A treasure! Dozens of people on the leaderboard had already reached the peak of the Silver realm but couldn't advance due to their inability to comprehend rules. Judging by the orange quality of the Enlightenment Tea Seedling, the tea leaves produced by this tree would surely help them comprehend rules. With the Enlightenment Tea, Qin Shilei would be able to cultivate experts of the Golden realm in large quantities. This was truly a priceless treasure.

“It’s just that this tea tree is still a seedling, and it only has five leaves. When will we get to drink the Enlightenment Tea?” An Qian said, looking at the Enlightenment Tea Seedling in the treasure chest and smacking her lips.

Qin Shilei also frowned and said, “The growth cycle of this kind of heaven and earth spiritual treasure is probably not short.” He paused and then added, “I hope the spiritual spring in our small space can promote the growth of the Enlightenment Tea.” After speaking, he cast his gaze back to the Enlightenment Tea Seedling.

[Refresh Attributes?]

Fragrance Spreads a Thousand Li (Red): Once brewed, the aroma of this Enlightenment Tea will travel a thousand li. All living beings that smell this fragrance will have a slight increase in their comprehension.

Blooms Without Fruiting (Red): The mature Enlightenment Tea tree blooms once every three years. This flower will not bear fruit, but when consumed with the tea leaves, its efficacy doubles.

Blooms and Bears Fruit (Purple): The mature Enlightenment Tea tree blooms and bears fruit every three years. The tea seeds produced have a chance to be cultivated into new Enlightenment Tea Seedlings. The efficacy of tea trees cultivated from tea seeds is only one-tenth of the mother plant.

Getting a purple attribute was actually quite good. Once this attribute was fixed, they might have a small tea garden in a few years. Although the offspring had only one-tenth the efficacy of the mother plant, quantity could compensate for quality. Drinking a pound and a half of Enlightenment Tea every day could even turn a sow into a programmer. Qin Shilei looked at the Blooms and Bears Fruit attribute with hesitation.

“Husband, what are you spacing out about? Let’s quickly take the tea tree back to the small space and plant it. Sister Qingshu and the others are waiting to drink it,” An Qian patted Qin Shilei’s shoulder and reminded him.

“Right, they are waiting to drink tea. I can’t wait three years,” Qin Shilei suddenly made a decision. He chose to refresh the attributes again. However, after refreshing five times in a row, the best attribute was still only red.

“I don’t believe I can’t get a good attribute,” Qin Shilei thought fiercely and decided to use all his daily refresh chances on this Enlightenment Tea Seedling. To his surprise, the next moment, an orange light emanated from the Enlightenment Tea Seedling.

Omnivorous (Orange): The Enlightenment Tea Seedling can absorb all items with energy to accelerate its growth. It always felt strange to have an omnivorous attribute on a plant. If this attribute were fixed, could it absorb the corpses of exotic beasts or zombies? Qin Shilei eagerly wanted to test the power of this orange attribute. He summoned Xiao Qiang, held An Qian in his right arm, carried the treasure chest in his left, and jumped onto Xiao Qiang’s back, hurrying back to Hope City.

Upon entering the small space, he chose a spot near the small river formed by the spiritual spring and planted the Enlightenment Tea Seedling. He then watered the seedling with some spiritual spring. It was evident that the five leaves on the Enlightenment Tea Seedling became greener, but that was all. Qin Shilei dug a large pit next to the Enlightenment Tea Seedling and continuously threw various exotic beast corpses into it. Suddenly, countless thin tree roots spread from the Enlightenment Tea Tree and quickly burrowed into the corpses. The Enlightenment Tea Seedling grew at a visible speed. The seedling, which was originally only thirty to forty centimeters tall, quickly grew to nearly fifty centimeters. A tender bud also emerged from the seedling, and then grew into a complete leaf. After growing three leaves, the Enlightenment Tea Tree stopped growing again. Qin Shilei glanced over and saw that the exotic beast corpses thrown into the pit had been devoured by the Enlightenment Tea Seedling. Qin Shilei continued to throw exotic beast corpses into the pit. By the time he had thrown in most of the Black Iron and Bronze exotic beast corpses, the Enlightenment Tea Seedling had grown into a small tea tree, one meter tall. The small tea tree had twelve complete leaves.
