Chapter 50: The Land Complex
"Spiritual Qi adaptability is a standard that reflects the efficiency with which flora, fauna, and even humans absorb spiritual qi. For real-world rice, out of one hundred parts of spiritual qi, only one part can be absorbed, which is defined as one standard unit."
"Peace Town Apple No. 2 has a spiritual qi adaptability of three standard units. It tastes very sour, with sparse flesh and a large core. Its modification value is too low. If the varieties to be manifested from illusion into reality are limited, this apple can be eliminated." As he spoke, Huang Zixing put down the apple in his hand.
The experts and scholars on the side hurriedly took notes.
"Peace Town Longevity Peach No. 2 has a spiritual qi adaptability of eleven standard units. It blossoms in one year, bears fruit in one year, and matures in one year. Long-term consumption has the effect of extending life by one year. It is recommended as a candidate for manifestation from illusion into reality, with significant cultivation potential."
"Peace Town Rice No. 5 has a spiritual qi adaptability of five standard units. Under the premise of sufficient nutrition and moisture, the yield per mu is six hundred catties. Compared to Rice No. 4, there is no significant change."
"However, this rice possesses relatively stable heredity. Within three generations, neither the spiritual qi adaptability nor the yield will undergo drastic changes. It holds a certain cultivation value and is recommended for inclusion in the manifestation list."
...
In the wilderness, beneath a certain large tree, Ning Fan was shirtless, wearing hemp trousers, sitting scantily clad in the branches.
Above his head perched a brightly colored bird; on his left shoulder sat a magpie, and on his right shoulder was a crow.
Before him lay a wild boar on the ground. Ning Fan placed his right hand on the boar's belly, stroking it vigorously without any sign of disgust.
A large number of animals gathered around Ning Fan. Among them were natural enemies, yet they coexisted here in complete harmony. The natural law of the jungle had temporarily ceased to function in this place.
Ning Fan stroked the fur on the wild boar's belly, watching a goshawk fly in circles above him, and could not help sighing: "Alas, after today, you will cease to exist."
"I once wondered, can I change all of this? Can I bring all of you with me from illusion into reality?"
At this point, Ning Fan shook his head: "It's impossible. When I asked the director, the director said nothing, but simply handed me a confidential document. The contents of that document were of top-secret clearance, detailing the products of this transition from the illusory realm to reality."
"There are about fifteen mu of land. Although the director said nothing, I know very well that these fifteen mu of land are crucial!"
"It's not that Great Xia is desperately short of this tiny patch of land, but rather that the Research Institute and the Management Bureau urgently need this land to prove the value of the illusory realm to the public!"
"Only with this land can people truly realize that the times have changed, and that the illusory realm is the future!"

The Tangerine Carbon No. 1 invented by Jiang Ju is very important!
The comprehensive physical examination report after Peng Bingcheng transcended mortality is also very important!
However, none of this is as intuitive as directly manifesting one square kilometer of land!
The land complex of the Chinese people stems from their very bones and is difficult to alter. No matter how many time-travelers there are, even when transported to otherworldly realms, their love for the land never diminishes in the slightest.
"Aside from this land, the manifestation from illusion to reality this time also includes the new seeds personally researched by Zixing. Even though Zixing didn't say it, and neither did the director and the others, one can easily guess that those new seeds are definitely related to Zixing's talent."
"Yet even for Zixing, during this process of manifesting from illusion into reality, only a tiny fraction of the seeds can be brought into reality."
"Beyond the land and the seeds, only the cultivation levels of the director, the bureau chief, and our first batch of people can be manifested into reality along with us."
"Aside from that, there is nothing else. Of course, a small amount of spiritual qi will inevitably be generated during the transition from illusion to reality, but this aspect is uncontrollable."
At this, Ning Fan once again vigorously stroked the wild boar in front of him: "I once asked the director, if I were willing to forgo my cultivation, could I manifest any of you into reality?"
"The director smiled and said that my cultivation in the illusory realm is merely at the threshold of Qi Refining, having cleared only three of the twelve regular meridians. With such meager cultivation, even if it weren't manifested, I wouldn't have the capacity to take you out. Because you are true lives; you are lives with wisdom and spirituality. The value of life is far from comparable to a cultivation level that hasn't even perfected the twelve regular meridians."
"At the time, I was still somewhat unwilling, so I continued to ask the director: aren't the seeds created by Zixing also lives?"
At this mention, Ning Fan's expression turned dejected, as Xiong Yan's words from back then echoed in his ears.
"Comrade Ning Fan!"
"Present!"
"During your cultivation process, you developed emotional bonds with the animals of the illusory realm. This is completely normal, and I can understand it. After all, without sincerity, you cannot win the trust of animals. Therefore, your current impatience is entirely acceptable to me; it is a perfectly normal human sentiment."
Even when raising a cat or a dog, affection develops over time!
Let alone the fact that Ning Fan's innate talent destined him to communicate effortlessly with flora, fauna, mountains, rivers, and even the natural world of heaven and earth.
Since it is communication, it must be sincerity meeting sincerity. How could one ever converse with a mouth full of nonsense from the very beginning?

"However, you must remain calm and rational!"
"First of all, the spirituality of animals and plants is not on the same level. Judged from a transcendent perspective, human spirituality is the greatest, followed by animals, and finally plants. The difficulty involved in each is entirely different."
"This is the reason why a full fifteen mu of land was brought over, while not a single human or animal could be brought along."
"Secondly, even the plants cultivated by Zixing are only taking a tiny fraction of their seeds out this time, rather than the entire plants going out together, understand? Even if you combined all those seeds, they would only weigh a few kilograms. It's not that we don't want to, but that we cannot."
"Lastly, I hope you remember that as the first batch of people to enter the Research Institute, and the first batch to enter the illusory realm, your thoughts and actions do not affect you alone."
"In this era of racing against the clock, if you manifest your cultivation now, you can serve as a primary force next time to independently explore a new illusory realm, or even conquer a new one."
"At this initial stage, for every illusory realm by which we lead other countries, they will have to expend tenfold or a hundredfold the effort in the future to catch up!"
At a time like this, you suddenly say you want to trade your cultivation for these animals. Setting aside whether such a trade is even possible, is this really the time for such actions?
"However, thinking about Ah Hong and the others disappearing completely makes me lose my drive. After all, they were friends I made when I first started communicating with the heaven and earth," Ning Fan spread his hands helplessly.
Lose your drive?
Don't want to try anymore?
How can that do?!!!
Without the experiences of a past life, this lifetime has been far too smooth-sailing. If he can't even withstand this tiny setback, has he been spoiled into uselessness?
Thinking of this, Xiong Yan decided to strike a heavy blow: "I am disappointed, I am truly disappointed!"
