Chapter Title: This Is a New Avenue for Wealth!
-------------------------------------
Hearing this, Yue Ling's delicate brows furrowed tightly, seemingly thinking about how to explain it to Su Yi. After a moment, she said:
"This power’s very special. If one relies solely on the unconscious adaptation, absorption, and evolution of plants and animals to utilize it, it’ll be an extremely slow process.
In fact, most of the magical plants I mentioned to you were artificially cultivated by the people over on the other world after we discovered magical power.
And the same goes for those dangerous magical beasts. They were all cultivated by the intelligent beings who first discovered magical power. It's just that these intelligent beings weren't necessarily humans. Elves, dragons, and dwarves have basically all done similar things.
After the plants and animals were exposed to magical power and adapted, and they become strong to a certain extent, they’ll also give birth to sentience and intellect, and thus a new intelligent race is born. For certain reasons, some of the older races might use the power of magic to cultivate other races.
This is the reason why our world can have so many intelligent races now. Many races weren’t born with intellect. As for which of these races was naturally generated, first discovered magical power, and then created the other races, it’s already impossible to trace back, and it can be considered an unsolved mystery on our side.
But after coming to Blue Star, I can probably already guess the answer. Humans are the intelligent race that was first born in nature."
Why did her words sound so creepy?
If that was the case, with so many races in their world, no matter how one looked at it, they were the results of the biological experiments of the ancients over there!
Su Yi could even imagine what was going through the minds of the ancients who created other races in their world.
For example, after mastering powerful magical power, they felt that their human bodies were too frail and their lifespans were too short.
So they created long-lived species like elves, attempting to gain longer lifespans through it.
This kind of thing was truly something humans could do.
As for cultivating so many messy races, and whether these intelligent races would compete with their human descendants for resources after developing and growing stronger, it was clearly not something these people considered.
Just trusting in the wisdom of future generations was enough.
There was absolutely no problem with their logic in their minds.
"I think we should continue talking about the magical plants."
Su Yi felt that this topic was still a bit too grand for him, and it wasn't something he should be caring about right now.
So he decisively chose to change the subject.
"Do you think that if we introduce some special magical plants from your world to here, can we achieve large-scale planting? Or could we also source materials locally and cultivate some magical plants unique to this world, and then sell them back to your world?"
Yue Ling thought seriously for a moment and said:
"The magical power on Blue Star is more abundant than in our world, so large-scale planting of magical plants should be feasible here. It just requires some special magic formations that gather magical power. Princess Vivi doesn't have something like that on hand. You'll have to ask her to purchase it, which will probably be quite troublesome. In our world, the only ones who plant magical plants on a large scale are our Elven Race and the Magic Kingdom.
Our Elven Race can do this because of the existence of the Spring of Life and Moon Lake. What the Magic Kingdom relies on is planting with magic formations, and their method’s also more suitable for your world."
"Why?"
Su Yi glanced at her and ask.
"Didn't you say that the core of that Spring of Life thing is inside you? This thing’s also an artificial creation, right? Couldn't we just find a way to build a Spring of Life on Blue Star too?"
"It's very difficult."
Yue Ling shook her head.
"It’s said that the Spring of Life was jointly created in an extremely ancient era by dozens of Grand Mages at the Magic God level while consuming countless rare treasures. Even in our world, it’s impossible to create another one today, let alone here, where there’s currently almost no theoretical foundation for magic, and I’m the only one who knows about it.
In contrast, as long as you can afford it, the Magic Kingdom can still sell you large-scale magic formations.
Moreover, if it's just planting magical plants on the scale of your farm, we might not necessarily need a large-scale magic formation in the early stages. Having Vivi help you purchase a small-scale magic formation will be enough. There’s no purchasing threshold for this. As long as she’s willing, it can be easily bought."
"Alright."
Su Yi sighed with some regret.
But after asking Yue Ling what effects these magical plants had, his fighting spirit was instantly reignited.
There were some that could be planted at home as house guards, working better than dogs.
There were some specially planted for eating. If an ordinary person ate a lot of them, they could gain the strength level of an entry-level warrior in the other world, easily able to punch a cow to death.
There were also magical plants specifically for beautifying the skin, prolonging life, and even enhancing virility.
Damn it, these were all business opportunities!
Su Yi's current farm had nearly twenty thousand mu of land. Even if he only planted these special magical plants on the farm, he didn't even dare to imagine what price the things grown from them could be sold for.
This was good stuff that was completely unique in the entire Blue Star.
And besides plants, there were also magical beasts specially raised for eating in the magical world.
Those were even more awesome. Their main selling point wasn’t only that they strengthened the body when eaten, but their taste was also better than any ordinary animal.
These were all business opportunities!
With an elf like Yue Ling helping out by his side, he didn't have to worry about being a layman and ending up killing all of the good stuff he’d bring back.
If it really didn't work out, he could also buy a few more elves from Vivi to come over and help manage the farm.
The Primary Life Trading Permission Card in the trading platform's points mall wasn't considered expensive.
This was a guaranteed profitable business!
Only planting in the villa's yard? Too small, the vision was too small!
He was going to plant them all over his farm!
If Yue Ling hadn't seen the villa's yard and suddenly brought this up out of her elven nature, Su Yi really wouldn't have thought of this way to make money.
The farm, which he had originally purchased intending to use it as a white glove* to acquire various supplies, now seemed like it really wasn't bought in vain.
There were too many benefits to buying it!
"You’re truly my Goddess of Luck!"
The more Su Yi thought about it, the more excited he became. If he wasn't driving right now, he would have loved to hold Yue Ling and give her a few fierce kisses.
Originally, after obtaining the trading platform, he hadn't figured out how to use it to make big money, and before, he only knew to foolishly juggle with his initial gold.
But this couldn't be blamed on him. The magical world was a completely unfamiliar place to him.
He didn't have the ability of foresight, so naturally, he didn't know what things from that world would be more valuable in his world, and he was still in the exploratory stage.
Yue Ling's arrival could clearly allow him to skip this stage.
With her knowledge, Su Yi could rapidly use his trades with Vivi on the trading platform to develop and grow stronger on Blue Star.
At the same time, more frequent and valuable trades could also allow him to obtain the trading platform's member points faster. When he accumulated enough points, he could buy matching cards to seek out more valuable worlds for cooperation.
It was a surefire way to quickly integrate into the trading platform's system and develop healthily, alright.

*A term used in business and politics to refer to a legitimate-looking front organization or person used to handle "dirty" or secret transactions, keeping the true owner's hands clean.
T/N - Okay, the beginning just dumped a big bomb. So the humans in the magical world basically created new races to suit their needs and modified themselves based on their successful experiments. The creepiest part is that they might still be alive considering that some powerhouses in that world can live for a hundred thousand years. Just thinking about it gives me the chills.
Also, the MC is finally thinking smart. Growing magical plants in his farm is a great idea and business opportunity, as long as he tightens security around his farm, he’s all good. That won’t even be that hard since there are plants that act as security according to Yue Ling. But he’ll probably need something like a magic contract if he wants to keep his Blue Star employees.
