Chapter 148 - 148: Blood Vine



Little Marshal didn't have any idea now. He has already brought the useless product thinking that he would take revenge against that stupid bird.

But now the Bird Emperor has apologized to him and their relationship has eased thus he felt embarrassed to give this useless prize to them.

So what should he do now? Go and bring another prize? That will take time and his father would not allow this.

"What happened? Why are you so quiet?" Robert looked at Little Marshal with a suspicious look in his eyes.

He realized that the little marshal was nervous for some reason when he said about the prize.

Could it be….?

Robert understood something and then looked at Little Marshal with surprise.

"Don't worry, We don't have high standards for gifts. Any normal gift would satisfy us." Robert said his heartfelt words. After looking at Little Marshal's face he realized that the gift should not be good.

That's why he is acting so nervously. Probably he was angry at the Bird Emperor, thus he purposely brought a bad or useless prize for them to take revenge.

But now their relationship is normal thus he is feeling guilty. Robert was not angry because of this because his actions are normal. After all, the Bird Emperor was at fault in the first place.

And he has already got enough benefits during this trip. Meeting a person with such a cultivation base and having a good relationship with him is rewarding enough.

The Little Marshal was surprised after hearing Robert and saw him looking at him sincerely. The Little Marshal hesitated after hearing him and finally presented the leather pouch.

"This is the reward for the Desolate Beasts." The Little Marshal gave them the leather pouch and lowered his head in guilt.

Robert took the leather pouch and opened it with curiosity. The Bird Emperor also leaned over to see the content of the pouch.

Roberts' face froze after opening the pouch. Many red bean-shaped seeds were placed inside the pouch.

Robert was momentarily overjoyed seeing so many seeds. 

'Is this edible? Or are these seeds of something edible?'

This was Robert's first thought after seeing the seeds. No way! They are too poor and they have a lot of mouths to feed.

If this is the seed of some edible plant then he is very satisfied with the reward but before coming to any conclusion he has to ask Little marshal about this.

"What is this?" Robert looked at Little Marshal and asked.

The Little Marshal said awkwardly, "These are the seeds for the plant….. Blood Vine."

Feeling that they might now know about this he explained in detail, "As you know there are many types of beasts: Ferocious beasts, Spiritual beasts, Desolate Beasts, Demonic Beasts, and Mutated beasts."

"Similar to beasts, plants also have classification but there are only three categories for them. One is Normal plants with no wisdom and then Spiritual plants and Mutated plants."

"Similar to Beasts, Spiritual plants have wisdom similar to a newborn cub. Whereas mutated Plants have very low intelligence and are quite retarded."

"This blood vine falls in the category of Mutated plants. But even among the category of Mutated plants they have the lowest intelligence and have some special characteristics."

"After planting the seed the blood vine would start to grow normally but the speed is ….Too slow. Normally it takes 10 to 15 years for Blood Vine to complete the rather slow growth process."

Robert was speechless after hearing Little Marshal. 10-15 years? Does he have to wait for so long? This price is useless, no wonder he was so guilty about this.

"But there's a way to speed up their growth which is to…." The Little Marshal continued. Hearing this Roberts's eyes lit up, there is a way to speed up its growth? 

"To speed up its growth, you have to feed it with blood… And a large quantity of that! Only this way can you speed up its growth." The Little Marshal finished the whole sentence in one breath.

"Feed it with blood? This is the way to speed up the growth? Interesting!" Robert was startled after hearing him. This plant is rather unique. Normally other plants need sufficient water but this vine needs blood.

"So what is the benefit of this vine? Is there something special about it?" Bird emperor asked casually. Since this vine has such an interesting growth process it should have some special right?

"Well… If it reaches the final stage of the growth phase then it will have strength equivalent to the Transcendence realm. This is the highest cultivation stage recorded for this plant. Except for this, there are other specialties. This plant has an initial phase, Development phase, Exponential phase, and final phase. In each phase, this plant will bear a random amount of Blood Fruit." Little Marshal said the details of the plant.

Robert and the Bird Emperor we're shocked after listening to Little Marshal.

Good guy! It can reach the Transcendence Realm. There are many seeds in his hands. Does that mean that he can have much transcendental Blood Vine with him in the future? 

If it's true then this thing is very Precious!

Wait! But if it's so precious then why is this placed as a reward? This doesn't make any sense.

Is there some catch? 

Without waiting for Robert to ask a question Little Marshal said, "Although it can reach the Final stage it needs a lot of blood for that. In our family, we planted one approximately. We fed it 500 gallons of blood only then it reached the Initial stage of the growth process."

"We have been feeding it blood since then but it has still not reached an exponential phase…." Little Marshal said with embarrassment.

This is the reason why their family placed these seeds as a reward. It consumes a large amount of blood and resources. They have a handful with just one plant so how dare they plant other seeds? It's a waste of time.

Robert was stunned after hearing the number. A small pool can be filled with this amount. And this plant only reached the Initial phase of its growth? And note that they have to feed it with blood and now water which increases the difficulty by a few levels.

No wonder they placed these seeds as a reward, it's so useless! 

Robert was speechless after knowing the details. This blood vine is awesome and super useful. The point is that it consumes so many sources.

And he could imagine that the later stage would require more blood and it would continue to increase….

"Well, Thankyou for the reward." This is what Robert could say. Although it seems useless it's better than nothing and who knows if he has a way to grow it in the future.

"Ahaha it's nothing." The Little Marshal said awkwardly. He could not change the reward otherwise he would have to change it already.

Sigh, it's fathers fault he has established so many rules which made things difficult for me.

After this, the atmosphere became awkward as no one said anything.

"Little Marshal, You have to come back, the boss is calling you." Just as the atmosphere became awkward they heard a voice from the lake.

Looking at the lake they saw a white toad floating on the water while looking at them.

Seeing the Toad Little Marshal's eyes lit up as he said, "Zak? Father is calling me? I am coming."

He wanted to go as things have become awkward. After the things have settled he would go to the Taotie restaurant to compensate them with appropriate reward.

But for now he needs to leave.

"Robert, Birdie my father is calling me I will leave for now. In future I will definitely visit your place." Little marshal said to Robert and the Bird Emperor.

"All right! Take care and don't forget to visit us in future." The Bird Emperor said with some reluctance. He really liked this little crocodile.

"You are welcome to visit anytime and don't forget to bring your friends with you next time." Robert said enthusiastically. He will be glad if Little Marshal could bring more unique people like him.

"Hmm!" The Little Marshal was very happy after listening to Robert and the Bird Emperor. So he decided to bring his few friends to visit them in future.

After saying goodbye he left with Zak and submerged under the water. Before leaving Zak glanced at Robert and Bird Emperor with strange gaze and left along with Little Marshal.

After seeing off Little Marshal Robert said to the Bird Emperor.

"Let's go! It's time to go home." 

The Bird Emperor nodded as both of them left the place to go home. Although the reward was not satisfactory, overall this trip was rewarding enough.

They met such a potential customer and persuaded him to bring more people to Taotie restaurant which is very good news.. In future they can hope to receive more customers like Little Marshal who have high cultivation.
