When Xiao Wukong climbed the Jialin Tower for the first time, there were so many fairy beans that it took several jars to hold them.

When Little Wukong grew up, the number of fairy beans plummeted and became a rare item that could not be used until the critical time.

Why is this so?

From the perspective of readers, it is not difficult to draw conclusions. Nothing else, just because the instant healing effect of this thing is too perverted, if it is matched with the setting of "every time a Saiyan comes back to life, his strength will increase greatly", it happens to be able to get a bug, so that the Saiyan Unlimited enhancement for a short period of time.

The effect is good enough to destroy the balance of the whole story, so it is deliberately restricted, which greatly weakens its output.

Of course, this is the conclusion drawn after looking at the whole article from the perspective of "outside the box".

From another perspective, if the foothold is "inside the box", how to explain this situation and make it reasonable?

There is an explanation that the requirements for the growing conditions of fairy bean are too harsh, and with the explosive development of science and technology, there are fewer and fewer environments suitable for its growth, so the output is getting smaller and smaller. Another explanation is that the Jialin Xianren, as producers, took the initiative to reduce the planting amount, resulting in a smaller final output.

One thing to say, these two explanations are actually unreasonable and not very reliable.

Let me first talk about the possibility that the restriction of growth conditions leads to a sharp drop in yield.

You know, fairy beans have never been grown in other places. From the very beginning, the original place of origin is only one place in Galinta.

If environmental changes affect its yield...

In a place as big as the top of the Galin Tower, how could it be possible that the environment in only a part of the area has changed, while the rest of the space has remained the same and has not been affected by the change in the environment?

In other words, if environmental changes really affect production, it will definitely not just reduce production, but should directly stop production.

Immortal Jialin intentionally planted a few less sayings...

The further back the timeline goes, the stronger the enemies Sun Wukong and others encounter, the more likely they are to be severely injured in battle. As an elder in the same camp, Immortal Jialin should put more effort into planting fairy beans, and strive to provide better protection for Monkey King and others in terms of logistics and medical care. How could it be possible to do the opposite and reduce the number of fairy beans planted? ?

"I don't know what the reason is, but the spawning magic has an extremely weak effect on it. Lord Locke, you have also seen that it only grows a little bit after hundreds of spawning magics. If it is spread out, every time it spawns The effect of magic will even be so small that it is difficult to observe with the naked eye."

"Well, why is that..." Squatting in front of the cultivation tank, Shi Xiaolei reached out and gently touched the young shoots.

Then picked up a pinch of soil and rubbed it unconsciously.

He's not a botanist, and he doesn't know how to give birth to the magic of plants. Shi Xiaolei has no clue about the various ways here.

"Perhaps it's because it's very special and won't be affected by magic?" After a while of silence, Banya expressed her guess.

"Well, it's possible..." After thinking for a while, Shi Xiaolei nodded.

At this moment, an orange halo appeared behind the two of them.

"It's not that the magic doesn't work, it's that you didn't find the right method." Following a voice, Mage Gu Yi stepped over the portal and came behind the two of them.

Never expected such an unexpected development. After turning around and seeing Gu Yi's figure, Shi Xiaolei involuntarily widened his eyes: "Master Gu Yi? Why are you here?"

"I'm here to negotiate a deal with you." While answering, he smiled at Banya, as a greeting. Gu Yi leisurely took two steps forward, came to Shi Xiaolei's side, looked down at the tender green seedlings in the cultivation tank: "Is this the fairy bean? It's so cute."

"A deal? What kind of deal?" Following Gu Yi's gaze, Shi Xiaolei had a guess in his mind: "Is it about Xiandou?"

"That's right." Gu Yi turned his head and nodded with a smile: "I want to ask you for some fairy beans, and in return, I will help you spawn a batch of bean sprouts and speed up their growth."

"Eh??" Upon hearing what Gu Yi said, Banya immediately shouted in surprise.

Shi Xiaolei was also surprised, and couldn't help confirming to Gu Yi: "Master, did I hear correctly? Can you speed up the growth of bean sprouts?"

"Yes." Gu Yi nodded lightly.

"No way, we have tried it, no matter what kind of magic it is, it can't effectively speed up its growth."

"That's because you didn't find the right way." Squatting down, Gu Yi stretched out his hand to touch the tender green seedlings, and explained to Bania unhurriedly: "The birthing magic you use is to speed up the growth of the plant's own cells. Split, and then achieve the goal of early maturity and early harvest. What I want to do ~lightnovelpub.net~ is to separate it from the world, and let it continue to grow at the original speed, while speeding up time on it the passage of time."

"You mean..." It was a little difficult to understand, after a long time of careful thinking, Shi Xiaolei finally understood what Gu Yi meant: "We only passed one day, but it has already passed a year?"

"Yes." Standing up, Gu nodded a little: "There are three kinds of flat peach trees in Journey to the West, do you still remember how it was described in the book?"

"Three thousand years to bloom, three thousand years to bear fruit, three thousand years to mature..."

"It must take a long enough time for it to ripen and bear fruit." Gu Yi said with a smile: "If you can rely on the fairy method to give birth, it will not take so long for the flat peach tree to mature. From this point of view, it is similar to the one in the story. The flat peach tree is the same."

"Only time magic can work on it." After saying this, Shi Xiaolei suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he understood why the fairy beans in "Dragon Ball" became less and less over time.

The same environment cannot be reproduced in other places other than Galin Tower by magic or technology. All the methods used to give birth to other ordinary plants will not work on the fairy bean. The production efficiency of this thing is only so high, and the stock will only increase with the passage of time.

When Xiao Wukong climbed the Jialin Tower for the first time, there were so many fairy beans that he had to use a jar to store them. That was because in the past hundreds of years, only the output was not consumed.

In the later stage, there are fewer and fewer fairy beans, because in just a few decades, the consumption has suddenly increased countless times, but its production speed is the same as before, without any improvement. Therefore, the supply cannot keep up with the consumption, and the final stock will naturally become less and less.

"So that's how it is." The doubts were all gone, Shi Xiaolei smiled freely, and his whole body relaxed.
