CHAPTER 2251  COLLABORATIVE DEALS

Lin Mu scanned the spindle shape rock with his Immortal sense, finding himself unable to 'peek' inside it.

"Strange… I cannot check inside it." Lin Mu spoke, making everyone focus on the rock. "You can't?" Daoist Chu titled his head before trying it himself. "Huh… It really is impermeable to Immortal sense." "Is it a material with Qi resistance of some kind? Or is it just better at blocking Immortal sense?" Qiao De asked.

"Hard to tell… I can't even tell if its the rock on the outside that's preventing the Immortal sense from penetrating or something inside it." Lin Mu replied.

"Looks like we'll just have to cut it to see." Lady Kang suggested.

"Yeah, we can do that." Crown Princess Shang agreed. "I'm curious as to what would be inside a Null Iron Ore Chunk like this. Considering its been in the Void all this time, it must not be simple." She added.

"We'll cut open, but we should probably head out of the Spatial Terrarium first." Lin Mu replied. "After all, we have no idea what it is. There's no guarantee it wouldn't be an object that's harmful for this place." He said with some caution.

"It is best to err on the side of caution." Monk Hushu was of the same thought. "I'd also suggest opening it outside." With that said, the group quickly walked back and left the Spatial Terrarium.

~SHUA~

Upon exiting from the gate, Crown Princess Shang shrank the Bell Jar down and stored it away safely.

"I'll monitor the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotuses for a bit before working on them, Daoist Mu Lin. Since I have entire specimens, I best study them in an intact state before cutting the flowers and other parts." Crown Princess Shang stated. "Once that is done though, I'll gladly offer you and everyone some cuttings if you want them." She added.

"Sure." Lin Mu was curious about the flower and wondered if it could be planted in the Sleepscape too. 'It did seem to have more intelligence than most other immortal plants.' He reckoned.

"Though it's a shame, there are no seedpods on it right now." Ziran said, having seen the three plants.

"That's not a problem." Crown Princess replied. "From what it seems, it should soon grow a seedpod where the flower is. That's also why I want to keep the flower intact, as that's where the Seedpod will grow.

Also, since we have three of them, there won't be a problem with the flowers either. The Second Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus that Daoist Mu Lin got has plenty of green shoots and leaves, and I reckon it won't be long before it reaches the flowering phase too.

So once it does, we'll have the flowers as well." She explained.

"That's great." Qiao De was pleased. "Even a single seed of a Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus will be worth a lot." He knew there was no way for him to grow one, but that didn't mean he couldn't sell it to someone that could try.

"Also, considering the size of the flowering Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus, there will be plenty of seeds for all of us. I reckon more than fifty in a seedpod, so five per person." Crown Princess Shang estimated.

It was good news for them all and Lady Kang couldn't help but already pick out the herbalists that will be in charge of growing them in her clan.

If they managed to find a sustainable way of growing even a single Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus, the profits would be massive. After all, every lotus flower from it could almost guarantee one's breakthrough into the Sixth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm.

There would be no lack of cultivators that would want this for themselves, and clans that would want it for their members.

Even the Immortal Court would not miss out on an opportunity like this and would want it for themselves. Thinking of all this, Lady Kang soon had an idea.

"Crown Princess Shang, what do you think about having a collaborative research between the Shang Dynasty and the Kang Clan's herbalists?" Lady Kang suddenly offered. "Of course, we'll spare no expense in whatever you'll need to ensure that the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus grows efficiently." She stated.

Hearing that, the Crown Princess Shang's eyes went wide. While she was the Crown Princess of a major empire, that was still limited to the Three Aster World. Lady Kang might not be royalty, but she was still greater than her. Not only was her clan had great influence in the Immortal realm, they also had contacts with many major powers, including the Immortal court itself.

Not to mention, Lady Kang herself was the clan head right now. As such, she was technically of a higher seniority than the Crown princess. If Lady Kang and the Shang Dynasty's Emperor were to meet, they wouldn't have to bow to each other. They would be equals as leaders of two great powers. Têxt belongs to .

The financial power of the Kang clan was greater than the Shang Dynasty anyways.

Thus, a collaboration like this was massive for them.

"OF COURSE!" Crown Princess Shang didn't even hesitate for a second after hearing it. "I'll be glad to work with the Kang Clan and their herbalists. And I'm sure my father, the Emperor will be in agreement as soon as he hears this." She added.

"Haha, looks like the Crown Princess will be solidifying her position even more." Crown Prince Feng Shun teased.

"Hey, unlike you, whose position was already announced, mine is still temporary." Crown Princess Shang replied. "My siblings are also working hard and would spare no effort in taking the chance to take over and reach my position. I have to take every chance I can get." She narrowed her eyes.

"I suppose it works for all of us then." Lady Kang was happy with such an agreement. 'Its also good that I get to have the future ruler of the Shang Dynasty in my allies.' She thought.
