Chapter 82: Chapter 80 Rewards

Xue Dong came down and seeing that everyone was present, he thought for a moment before speaking, “There’s something I’d like to discuss with you all.”

“Go on, what are you hemming and hawing about?”

Shi Lei was impatient and gave him a glare.

“After Pan’er advanced to high-level, many of her skills aren’t polished, and she needs to test some things. You all know the Wood Purification ability, right? She’s already purified quite a few abnormal trees and turned them into positive mutations. Now, the problem is that we haven’t tried it on people. We often eat mutant animals, which is a major reason we can’t get pregnant. We don’t know if it could purify that as well, especially since Soul Cleansing Fruits are not available every day and we can’t eat them all the time.”

“Oh, you’re looking for someone to experiment on? That’s easy, I’ll do it. I’m older, so let me.”

Cui Yanjun was the first to volunteer.

“I’m in.”

“Me, me, I’ll go first, I’m a woman.”

Liu Qian hurriedly raised her hand. She truly believed that if it could purify, it would be beneficial and harmless to her. She trusted Li Pan more, since she had already conducted experiments on trees, so it probably wouldn’t be a big problem.

“I’m worried it might be dangerous, kids don’t need to raise your hands, you guys are not suitable.”

Xue Dong quickly pushed down the hands of Xie Ling and several others who had raised them.

“Then let me do it. I’m a man, I’ll go first, and then Liu Qian can go. The rest can line up afterwards. It’s better to have both men and women for the data, right?”

Jiao Ming spoke up.

“Okay. Pan’er, come on over.”

“Alright, I’ll give it a try. Let’s do the experiment in several rounds and not too many at a time.”

Li Pan, wanting to be cautious, planned to purify in small quantities multiple times to control the level of risk.”

“No problem, come on. My skin’s thick; I can handle it.”

Jiao Ming and Cui Yanjun sat together, ready to undergo the test.

Li Pan inserted vines into both of their wrists and slowly activated the purification skill, closing her eyes to intently feel the reaction of Wood Purification entering their bodies.

The Wood Molecules were green and teeming with vibrant energy. Using her detection abilities, she could see that Jiao Ming’s body was full of impurities, some of which were dense and black, indicating the problems left by frequently eating mutant animals.

Using the Wood Molecules, she began to purify these impurities and expelled them from the body. The process heavily consumed her superpower, but she realized it couldn’t be done in intervals since the black impurities were stubborn and would slowly expand again whenever the Wood Molecules paused.

This discovery surprised Li Pan, and after a brief consideration, she decided to go all-out and complete the process for both of them at once. So far, there didn’t seem to be any danger, and the Wood Element was indeed quite gentle, lacking in aggression.

Half an hour later, Jiao Ming and Cui Yanjun smelled unbearable, and everyone ran away holding their noses.

“That should do it. The purification effect is quite good. I’ve discovered a little secret. There are some particularly stubborn substances inside mutant animals that are hard to remove. If we purify in phases, it might be in vain as they can slowly grow. I’ll check on you again tomorrow.”

“Great, I feel much lighter now, just a bit smelly. I’ll go take a wash.”

Jiao Ming felt very good, and the two of them happily ran off to bathe.

“I’m up next.”

“Sure.”

Li Pan still had plenty of her superpower left since purifying a person consumed much less than purifying trees.

Next, she purified Liu Qian and Qin Jianzhong. Liu Qian’s whole complexion lightened, and she looked brighter and more attractive.

Both individuals were thrilled and went off to bathe cheerfully.

“So purification and the Soul Cleansing Fruit have similar effects.”

Li Pan finally understood what the core of purification was.

“I get it now. So, let me rest for a couple of days, and then I’ll purify everyone one by one, to ensure everybody’s in good health.”

“Yay! Sister, you’re amazing.”

Zhang Qi clapped her hands in applause.

Having acquired new skills and data, she was delighted.

In the evening, Gu Ye made a big plate of chicken with potatoes, as well as fish stewed with iron pot cakes. With so many people, he made a few more dishes. It was a rare feast, and everyone was quite happy.

“Xue Dong, let’s make the pork into cured meat. We can start on it tomorrow.”

Shi Lei suggested turning the pigs they slaughtered into cured meat, which everyone enjoyed eating.

“Sure, let’s do it together,” someone agreed.

“Then I’ll wash the wool.”

“I need to prepare the cowhide and sheepskin for the base, they said they want to recycle them.”

“Keep a couple to make fur coats, they’re warm.”

“We’ll keep the skins from the ten pigs we’re eating, the rest we’ll sell to the base.”

“Okay.”

Over half of the pigs were slaughtered, leaving eight; the number of sheep grew to over forty, with ten kept and the rest butchered; six cows were kept and the rest also slaughtered. Next year, they planned to exchange them again for young animals to raise.

Now they mostly ate poultry, with less consumption of mutant animals, mainly because the farm could sustain itself.

Next year, they planned to raise more pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits.

In a few days, after they finished with the cured meat, it would be time to butcher the rabbits, whose skins the base also collected.

The rabbits were breeding so rapidly that they now had nearly a hundred, and they planned to slaughter them all, keeping some for themselves to eat, giving some away as New Year gifts, and selling the rest.

Poultry meat, being clean and free of impurities, sold at a good price. There was a high demand and supply could not meet it.

Actually, everyone knew it wasn’t good to eat too much mutant animal meat, but when you’re hungry, you don’t have much choice.

Li Pan continued to cultivate her medicinal herbs at home. The last batch sold for a pretty penny, giving her a lot of confidence. This business could bring in a decent amount of money to cover the farm personnel’s wages and other expenses, with some left over.

This time she planted more and had more experience.

“Brother, can you make me some wooden boxes so I can transplant the medicinal herbs?”

“Sure, you’re planting in boxes again?”

“Yes, if there’s a natural disaster, I can move them indoors. This batch of medicinal herbs accounts for a significant portion of our earnings this year; it’s filled in the previous losses and is quite important, so it’s best to be cautious.”

Li Pan was still conservative, fearing natural disasters.

“I’ll make them for you. We’re not too busy now; we’ll make a few more for you. They need to be deeper, right?”

Jiang Zhiping nodded.

“The boxes need to be deep to allow the roots to grow.”

“Okay.”

After dinner, everyone sat together to work and watch a movie.

“These are the Crystal Cores I exchanged from the base; everyone gets some, though the amount varies. It’s up to you to decide how to divide them. This is my New Year’s benefit to you, and in addition, each person will get ten thousand yuan before the New Year. This year we made a bit of money from medicinal herbs, so everyone can have a nice New Year’s.”

Li Pan placed the Crystal Cores in front of everyone on the table. Since each type of Crystal Core had different quantities, they couldn’t be evenly distributed, but being adults, they could discuss it amongst themselves.

“Brother, it’s not my time to advance yet, you use them,” Yang Zhengfei sensibly spoke up first.

Jiang Zhiping hesitated modestly.

“Keep them, when the child is ready to upgrade, you can help him then. He’s too young to use Crystal Cores now, there’s a risk if they’re used before middle-level.”

Jiao Ming was quite objective.

“Okay, I’ll take advantage then and claim them,”

Jiang Zhiping took all Earth Element Cores.

“I’ve reached high-level recently, I won’t need Crystal Cores for a while. The last Soul Cleansing Fruit did me a lot of good, you guys divide them.”

Xue Dong also stepped back.

“Okay, then I’ll take the advantage; I feel like I might upgrade in the next two months.”

Gu Ye expressed his desire for an additional Crystal Core.

When the others heard this, they let him have all the Fire Element Cores. Prioritizing one person made things easier for everyone else. Since he was at middle-level and close to upgrading to high-level, he wouldn’t compete with others for mid-level Crystal Cores, which would save quite a bit.
