Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Sea Spiritual Grass

Upon hearing the System mention the Cosmic Point, Xia Yue’s expression shifted. She thoughtfully looked at the System, "Have you been scheming to use those Cosmic Points all along?"

[It’s meant to be spent anyway, I’m just providing you with a suggestion. Otherwise, the System will remain stagnant.]The System explained its viewpoint.

"I understand. I guess Yan Mo must have noticed the task by now. You can explain it to him when he comes around" Xia Yue spoke while staring at it. It wouldn’t be good if she left out any detail while reiterating.

[You sure are the epitome of laziness.]The System remarked amusedly.

"Well, well!" Xia Yue responded, grinning.

[Establishing an oceanic ecosystem farm, you can often take a spin in the sea, radiating a bit of your spiritual power for the fishes to absorb. It will drastically enhance their survival rate.]The System suggested her.

"Why is that?" Xia Yue curiously inquired.

[The Dragon Bloodline is the royal lineage of the Sea Clan, almost worshipped by them. In ancient times, the Dragon Clan could impart energy to the Sea Clan, helping them break through their cultivation base, even suppress it with their bloodline. Although your own bloodline isn’t very potent now, it’s more than enough to handle regular fishes. Moreover, it ensures that the fishes won’t stray away.]The System patiently explained.

"Alright, I understand." Xia Yue nodded in comprehension, instantly curious about the Undersea Castle reward. She asked, "Can the Undersea Castle accommodate people?"

[Yes, it can. Not only is it vast in area, but it also houses various plants. It’s like a barrier similar to the one in the cultivation world. So, you don’t have to worry about seawater seeping in.]The System responded with a nod.

"What if I’m unable to complete this task? Are there any punishments of sorts?" Xia Yue asked the System, feeling that the task might be a tough nut to crack.

[No, but the reward will diminish and you will have to start over.]The System explained.

"What if I still fail it?" Xia Yue posed another question.

[The reward will further reduce, and you will have to restart again - until the reward exhausts, and the task completes, only then will new tasks appear.]The System elaborated.

"Well, it’s time to buckle down then." Xia Yue contemplated briefly, deciding to take frequent visits to the sea to radiate some spiritual power to feed the fishes so that they wouldn’t leave.

[You should’ve buckled down long ago. I almost doubt you’re the host given your minimal participation in the previous two tasks.] The System couldn’t help but tease.

Xia Yue rolled her eyes at the System but chose not to retort, accepting the fact.

She opened the virtual store within the System to look up Sea Spiritual Grass as mentioned earlier.

Looking at the prices of four ranks of Sea Spiritual Grass on the virtual screen and her Cosmic Point balance shown on the top left, Xia Yue felt the task just got even harder.

"Isn’t the price of this Sea Spiritual Grass a bit inflated?" Xia Yue queried the System.

[The prices set by the System are the most reasonable, without any inflation. You just need to buy the lowest-level Sea Spiritual Grass. It grows rapidly. You might have an alien species invasion at your hands if you buy in bulk.]The System clarified.

"The lowest is a hundred Cosmic Points each, mid-tier ones are a thousand, high-tier costs ten thousand, top-tier costs a hundred thousand. You’re increasing the price tenfold each time, and you still say it isn’t inflated." Xia Yue retorted.

[The lowest-tier just adds a hint of flavor and slight nutrition for the marine creatures. The medium and above tiers of Sea Spiritual Grass need spiritual power to grow and contain energy. The higher the tier, the more energy it contains, luring energy beasts. However, it’s harmful to regular fishes.]The System elaborated.
