Chapter 927 - 479: Foundation Passionfruit (Part 2)
The green glow flashed and hit the active substance.
The active substance emitted a faint light, undergoing a subtle transformation from a colloidal state to a liquid, spreading across the bottom of the glass dish.
The next second.
A wondrous phenomenon appeared.
Ripples continuously appeared on the surface of the liquid, and sounds actually emanated from the ripples.
Among them were the sound of wind blowing through the forest, the sound of rain hitting leaves, and the sound of insect monsters flapping their wings and flying by.
The group of people listened in amazement.
Yang Fan smiled and said, "When I heard this sound, I realized that the active substance contained a peculiar power yet to be discovered."
Qi Xingbang exclaimed, "Looks like Dean Shen was right, Chairman Yang is indeed the world’s best at cultivating new varieties."
Shen Jun stood beside him and laughed, "Old Qi, I told you before but you didn’t believe it. Have you gained insights today?"
In fact.
This was actually information obtained by Yang Fan through the Power of Insight into Star Formation.
He also detected that the active substance contained a higher-level Life Source material, a magical substance spawned by the Green Sea Law.
The reason human intestines cannot absorb and utilize it is because their level is lower than the Life Source material.
To utilize the Life Source material, he thought of several methods and tried many techniques, and recently, he finally achieved results.
Yang Fan began to briefly introduce the cultivation process: "Since humans cannot absorb and utilize the power within the active substance, I went for a different approach.
"First, I worked to let a certain plant absorb the active substance, elevate the plant’s life essence, and then let the fruit inherit this power.
"Considering Green Sky Radish is a tropical plant, from the perspective of climate adaptability, I targeted tropical and subtropical plants.
"After many experiments, I finally locked the target onto passion fruit, although more people know it by its alternate name ’百香果’..."
What followed was a highly professional discourse.
Researchers with slightly weaker skill levels wouldn’t hear a thing about what he was talking about.
Qi Xingbang and Shen Jun occasionally asked some detail-oriented questions, and Yang Fan provided refreshing answers each time.
In the cultivation process.
Power of Insight into Star Formation, Mutated Star Formation, and Top grade Superpower ’Life Lotus’ played unparalleled roles.
Mutated Star Formation accelerated the mutation process, Life Lotus assisted in cultivation, and Power of Insight into Star Formation made accurate judgments, finding the right path in the fog.
Switch to other laboratories, even if they have a concrete idea, it would probably take them twenty to thirty years to produce decent results.
Yang Fan, however, only used a short ten days to produce a highly significant outcome.
Half an hour later.
The highlight of this demonstration came.
Yang Fan talked eloquently, "After discussing so much, it’s time for everyone to witness the effect of the ’Growth Source Liquid’."
He turned around and made a gesture.
Two researchers pushed over a small cart, on which sat a beautiful flower pot with a two-meter-tall green plant inside.
This green plant resembled Green Sky Radish, its whole body green.
The trunk was light green with dark green patterns, the leaves were extremely green, exuding a faint crystalline quality.
Between the branches hung more than a dozen green fruits, shaped perfectly spherical, the size similar to ping-pong balls.
The most astonishing thing was the thin green mist surrounding the fruit, sometimes adhering to the surface of the fruit, sometimes dispersing from it.
This "aggregation and dispersion" looked as if the fruit was breathing.
Such unusualness caused a slight stir among the crowd.
Qi Xingbang scrutinized for a few seconds, pinpointing the essence of the green mist: "The green mist should be the key for the fruit to absorb power from the outside world, drawing a sliver of Life Power from the ocean of Supernatural Power each breath."
Yang Fan praised, "Chief Qi, good eyesight!"
Qi Xingbang waved his hand, "My tiny bit of insight is nothing compared to the ability to cultivate the passion fruit tree into a magical species, that’s true skill."
Shen Jun posed a question, "Chairman Yang, after such a long introduction, you haven’t mentioned the name of the mutated passion fruit?"
Yang Fan thought for a moment and named it on the spot, "Let’s call it Mutated Passion Fruit."
Shen Jun’s face twitched, "Chairman Yang, have you been reading cultivation novels recently?"
The source of the name "筑基" was evident.
This mutated passion fruit was so important, yet the naming process was so casual, it left people speechless.
Yang Fan hummed, "Sometimes, when I’m bored, I casually take a look."
He immediately changed the subject, "Let’s start."
Two researchers quickly approached, donned gloves, grabbed pliers, cautiously picked a few Mutated Passion Fruits, used tools to extract their juice, and placed it into a device.
Accompanied by a buzzing sound, a green liquid, like emerald with a bit of stickiness, flowed out from the device.
The two researchers used syringes to extract a small amount of liquid, walked towards five white mice.
Each white mouse’s abdomen bulged high, evidently about to give birth.

Celestial Star Company Headquarters.
Secretary Ling Shuiling was single-handedly confronting numerous representatives sent by the investment Silver Group.
Today, she was dressed very sharply, wearing a simple Xia style outfit, elegant silver-frame glasses perched on her beautiful nose, her long hair beautified into a bun.
With such a demeanor, she was undoubtedly a "domineering female CEO," and an exceptionally attractive one at that.
Ling Shuiling glanced around and gently opened her red lips, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Full Sky Star Laboratory is conducting a demonstration with epoch-making significance. Once the experimental results are publicly announced, Celestial Star Agriculture will become a company remembered in history."
One representative interjected, "The physical enhancement effect of the mutated passion fruit has not been fully verified, isn’t it too early to talk about being remembered in history?"
The representatives all carried a hint of caution, knowing that although this female CEO was beautiful, her tactics were formidable, demanding utmost attention in dealing with her.
Ling Shuiling immediately retorted, "The laboratory has conducted over a dozen trials, each with consistent results, with full repeatability and recognition from the Superpower Research Institute. What is ’not fully verified’?"
She unceremoniously stated, "To be frank, Chairman Yang is a super genius in the field of plant cultivation, and everyone visiting the laboratory today is doing so with learning and gaining insight in mind, no one is qualified to judge Chairman Yang’s skills."
The representative who interjected earlier opened his mouth but ultimately dared not say anything.
For further opposition would only result in humiliation.
The secretary continued speaking, "Chairman Yang clearly stated that the mutated passion fruit can definitely be considered a cornerstone of the Canglan Civilization, capable of greatly enhancing the entire civilization’s power.
"According to regulations, Celestial Star Agriculture, as the cultivator of the mutated passion fruit, owns exclusive rights for at least fifty years.
"Considering the significance of the mutated passion fruit, we’ve applied for authorization to extend the exclusive rights to a maximum of one hundred years, with a greater than 99% possibility of approval.
"This practically guarantees Celestial Star Agriculture controls a perpetual source of wealth for the next century."
Ling Shuiling continued, raising a question, "Currently, Celestial Star Agriculture’s market value is 5.2 trillion Xia Yuan. If the news leaks, how much will the company’s market value increase?
She elaborated further, "Do you think it will be 20 times or 30 times?"
times would amount to 104 trillion, 30 times 156 trillion, truly astronomical figures.
Yet, the representatives found them more acceptable.
Someone promptly stated, "Maybe even more than 30 times."
Others suggested higher targets, "50 times might be possible!"
Ling Shuiling nodded with satisfaction, "Very good! Now everyone has somewhat reached a consensus and recognized the immense value of the mutated passion fruit beyond imagination."
She shifted her tone, "Back when the Silver Group jointly invested 150 billion Xia Yuan, they took 56% of the shares.
"If Celestial Star Agriculture’s market value reaches 156 trillion in the future, those 56% shares will be worth 87.36 trillion, equivalent to a 582-fold increase.
"Relying on Chairman Yang’s astonishing talent, he has created astonishing world wealth, yet you effortlessly take away the biggest piece of cake."
Secretary Ling forcefully asked, "Is this fair?"
One representative immediately responded, "Miss Ling, please respect the spirit of the contract!"
"Bang!"
Ling Shuiling heavily slammed the table, snapping, "A contract losing its fundamental fairness and justice, how is this different from seizing a fortune?"
Pointing her finger upward, she loudly stated, "If you insist on such a seizing distribution model, Yang Dong and I will immediately withdraw from Celestial Star Agriculture and take the lawsuit to the top level!"
The conference room fell silent.
Everyone knows, the soul of Celestial Star Agriculture is Chairman Yang.
If the soul is lost, Celestial Star Agriculture’s future may stray far from glory.
