Because of the danger of infant soil, neither Beast Tamers nor their pets should ever directly touch it with any body part, not even stepping on it with shoes.
Therefore, the plantation was divided into small, one-meter-square plots, with a three-meter-wide path between each plot, allowing Mingxi to move freely for planting.
Additionally, the planting room had a very complete indoor cultivation environment management system that would irrigate and supplement sunlight according to the plants' needs.
Mingxi didn't need to worry about this aspect.
Mingxi took out the preserved parasol tree branch.
The parasol tree branch was well-preserved, retaining the freshness it had when it was first broken off. Mingxi chose the central plot and carefully inserted it into the soil.
"Is that all? Do I need to prune it?"
"A simple trim is fine, but it's not necessary."
Then I won't trim it.
Mingxi then picked out four 'siblings' of the qilin fruit and planted them separately in the east, west, south, and north directions.
Since they were just ordinary lotus seeds, the possibility of cultivating qilin fruit was very small.
But there's no harm in trying.
After all, the infant soil was empty anyway. freewebnoveℓ.com
Afterward, Mingxi found several energy plants she had harvested previously and planted them one by one.
Speaking of which, this infant soil was indeed a bit fierce.
She had only been planting for less than five minutes and had already lost one shovel. This shovel was an A-grade tool personally forged by Chiyu.
It was really quite toxic.
...
Oath Sword Sound sat in his practice room, looking a bit troubled.
Earlier, in Yin Jiuheng’s office, he had boasted that he thought Yan Luoxi would enter Star Orbit today. This wasn't just to mislead that Xiao Guniang; he also genuinely hoped she would come today.
In his opinion, entering Star Orbit was something that should be done sooner rather than later.
If certain people were to discover the exact time that Xiao Guniang entered Star Orbit, he could already predict what would happen.
Although Star Orbit could only be entered through the Star Orbit Gate, who said Star Orbit was only connected to one Star Orbit Gate?
As far as he knew, the Star Orbit discovered by their Immortal University had three Star Orbit Gates that could be entered simultaneously.
One was at their Immortal University, the second was with the Huiyue Clan, and the last one was the least known, but he was certain that this third gate was also in An Ting City.
So, if Yan Luoxi's entry time into Star Orbit was noticed, with her talent and the troubles she had attracted, nine out of ten she would be targeted.
After careful consideration, he felt that today was actually the best time, the most unexpected moment.
"It's a pity I can't make the decision for that child."
Just as he was thinking, his personal terminal rang.
Caller: Yan Luoxi??
Hmm?
Ten minutes later, Mingxi put on an artifact that restricted her five senses and was led by Oath Sword Sound to a narrow, cramped, enclosed darkroom, a small, square room of only about 4 square meters.
It was walled on all sides, with no doors, no windows, not even ventilation ducts.
The only thing in the room was a door emitting a faint purple starlight.
Oath Sword Sound removed the restricting artifact from Mingxi's head and said, "This is the Star Orbit Gate."
"Are you sure you want to go in now?"
When he received Mingxi's call, he was truly surprised; surprised that the girl not only thought the same as him, but even more surprised by her decisive determination.
The danger level of Star Orbit even exceeded 8- and 9-star secret realms, which was why the school gave her three months to consider.
This Star Orbit was too dangerous; without thorough preparation, it was very likely that one would not be able to come out once inside.
"Dean, I am very sure."
Oath Sword Sound nodded, "Have you read the information I gave you?"
"Yes, thank you again, Dean."
Mingxi's tone was very sincere. Although she knew a lot about Star Orbit, there were differences between different Star Orbits.
The information provided by Oath Sword Sound was all practical knowledge about the Star Orbit of Immortal University.
It could save her a lot of detours and also reminded her of what she needed to guard against.
"Since that's the case, I will now open the Star Orbit Gate for you."
"Thank you, Dean."
The star key turned, and the Star Gate opened, revealing an boundless, brilliant sea of stars, closer and clearer than looking up at the night sky, and more distinct than sitting in a spaceship.
It was like a 3D star map, with the stars shifting and moving, all within sight.
There was also a platform by the Star Gate, not large, but it should be enough to accommodate Golden Yuanbao and the other six.
"In two hours, I will open the Star Gate again. You must pay attention to the time! The Star Gate can only be {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} open for a maximum of five minutes, so you must ensure your pet returns to the platform within the specified time.
Once they fail to return within the Star Gate's open time, both you and your pet will be assimilated by Star Orbit, becoming a part of Star Orbit!
So remember, you only have two hours!"
Mingxi bowed to him and stepped onto the small platform!
As her two feet landed, the Star Gate behind her silently closed.
Standing on the platform, Mingxi watched the scene before her in awe.
It was different from what she had seen outside the Star Gate.
Before her was a tiny burning speck of star dust, at first glance appearing to be nothing more than an insignificant little flame, flickering like willow catkins in a dying breeze, as if it could extinguish at any moment.
But Mingxi knew that this was the very beginning of a star's birth.
"Good luck, we've just encountered the birth of a new star!"
Star Orbit is a projection that captures a microcosm of a planet's process from birth to death, so it's uncertain which process or planet one will encounter upon entering.
And the flow of time within each Star Orbit varies.
Generally, the best processes are the birth of a new star and the extinction of a dead star.
Mingxi quickly switched identities, formed a hand seal, and summoned Golden Yuanbao and the other six.
"Our time is limited, and going up one by one will definitely not be enough, so you will act in two groups: Little Silver Flower, Emerald Green, and Chiyu in the first group; Golden Yuanbao, Lan Yue, and Black Pearl in the second group.
When one group is Lying on the Star Track, the other group will be responsible for guarding.
Once the evolution light appears, immediately retreat to the platform, and then fill in as needed.
Understood?"
The six responded.
With limited time, Little Silver Flower and the other two immediately ran towards the faint flame.
Yes.
Go.
The starry sky was boundless, but in reality, every inch of space here was solid ground. However, once they left the platform, if the Beast Tamer did not constantly guide them with the power of their bond, the pets would immediately lose their way in Star Orbit and be unable to return to the platform smoothly.
Therefore, Beast Tamers absolutely could not leave the platform, otherwise she herself would also get lost.
Little Silver Flower was the first to reach the vicinity of the newborn planet. In a short time, the flame had expanded into a burning football.
It bravely extended its claw towards the planet, and the moment its claw touched the planet's surface, an uncontrollable look of pain appeared on its face.
Little Silver Flower's Lying on the Star Track officially began.
