If the professions and groups related to Moonlight Heart are rural doctors and night watchers, then Stone Skin Pumpkin corresponds to stonemasons and wall guards.

Frost-Talking Peas corresponds to the High Mountain Tribe and noble butlers.

After introducing the first two plants, Vandar continued, "The Frost-Talking Peas we’ve brought back aren’t doing well in cultivation. This plant only thrives near the snowline in high altitudes, relying on the temperature difference between day and night to form magic circuits in the pods."

"We rely on mountain shepherds to plant these on the mountains, or we turn it over to the dwarves for extensive cultivation. If moved to the currently warm areas, it will degrade into ordinary peas and lose its extraordinary magic power."

This was the first plant among those given by Prince Philis that couldn’t be cultivated. Su Li asked with concern, "Then what is the effect of this Frost-Talking Peas?"

"It actually has quite a few effects. Once mature, the surface of the pods congeal with natural ice crystals, and the peas are semi-transparent like a frozen mist. When chewed, the mouth briefly exhales cold breath. Placing the pods in a cellar can prolong the preservation of stored food by three times, which is of significant importance for nobles to preserve fresh vegetables and fruits in winter."

"Additionally, its pod fibers can be woven into curtains and wall cloth that can block out ordinary people’s sounds, making it extremely useful in the castle’s secret agent room or Shalya Hospital’s maternity ward."

That sounds manageable. Considering this, Frost-Talking Peas indeed doesn’t need to be immediately planted; it can be planted before autumn in the Highland Tribe. Its growth conditions are rather picky, similar to the Calming Flower, requiring a specific environment to naturally grow.

The yield of this commodity won’t be too high, but fortunately, the Hesse Territory is vast enough. Slowly planting it would still be practical.

Su Li then asked, "What is the effect of the last plant, Traveler’s Onion?"

Vandar smiled and shook his head, saying, "Lord, this isn’t the last extraordinary vegetable."

"Hm?" Su Li raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Traveler’s Onion is indeed one of the four extraordinary vegetables given to us by Prince Philis. Its bulbs layer like a miniature spiral staircase, with different topographical symbols (mountains, rivers, deserts, etc.) engraved on each layer of skin. This is because it must grow among caravans, absorbing water from different regions. The effect is that when peeling the outer layer, the current outermost symbol can point to the nearest safe water source."

"There’s no doubt this is a plant suitable for caravans and adventurers. If used in military reconnaissance, it will incur a curse from Reya, causing the onion to quickly rot and emit a foul smell, making a large amount of grain moldy."

Upon hearing this, Su Li felt that the application of the latter two plants is quite targeted and not very general-purpose. They can only be treated as some sort of precious extraordinary plants, sold to some wealthy individuals to earn a fortune.

While he was pondering, Vandar continued, "This time during our visit near Sea-Lake Park and while you were out exploring, I also visited Jade Academy and procured a new extraordinary plant from them."

"It’s called Ash Root Leek, which is a plant that Jade Academy cultivated that can be widely planted. Its growth conditions are not as stringent, and its yield is extremely high. As long as the soil it’s planted in is mixed with volcanic ash, it can absorb the residual embers of flames for rapid growth."

"As long as the vitality of the volcanic ash remains, you can continuously harvest leeks over and over. Once you harvest a batch, they rapidly grow into another batch. And after consumption, you gain a Night Vision Ability for 3 hours, enabling clear vision even in darkness. Additionally, it can be used for fire-resistant dietary therapy in miners’ families."

This Ash Root Leek can apparently significantly improve miners’ productivity. Their primary target groups are miners, thieves, and adventurers.

Su Li asked in amazement, "Does Jade Academy actually have such strong research capabilities? This extraordinary plant doesn’t require harsh growth environments, and yet yields greatly. There must be some side effects, right?"

Familiar with the world’s general style, Su Li knew.

If something seems very perfect in all respects, then there must be some hidden major flaw.

The smile on Vandar’s face stiffened immediately, and he quickly defended, "You know, even Jade Academy’s research occasionally has its hiccups, coming up with some absurd designs. Although this Ash Root Leek significantly enhances growth conditions and yield, it... can’t be consumed in large quantities. If eaten excessively daily, sulfur crystals will form in the lungs, and sparks can be coughed out. Of course, Jade Academy has firmly assured us that daily consumption of less than an ounce can reduce mortality by 48%!"

Su Li had a black line on his face, asking, "Then if this thing can’t be consumed in large amounts, what’s the use of having such a big yield?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

It’s hard for Vandar to maintain confidence as when Jade Academy initially introduced it to him.

Back then, the Druid of Jade Academy retorted with confidence and momentum, "Just tell me if the yield is large, and the production conditions are common, right? Who cares if it can be eaten!"

Vandar could only cautiously say, "After all, the required conditions aren’t harsh, so let’s keep planting it. At the very least, consuming a few less trees daily can greatly improve the miners’ productivity. Moreover, it’s reportedly effective in enhancing male performance, adding fuel to the fire."

Let’s plant it then!

It’s definitely not to make men’s fervor more vigorous, but Su Li has to consider the miners’ safety! Having night vision can greatly reduce many troubles and dangers!
