We agreed to farm, but you're planting a divine tree in the eternal night?

Chapter 28: So fast? Does he have a ready-made top-grade formula?

"what?"

Inside the purchasing shop, Yao Yao sat up straight behind the counter, her slender eyebrows furrowed in disarray. "It's only been a little over half a month, how come your [Golden Spirit Cage] top-grade fruit is ripening so quickly?"

"Eh? I'm not the first one?"

Is this...the important point?

Jiang Qiao has a father who is a highly accomplished spiritual plant master, and he personally researches top-grade formulas, so it's normal for her to be fast.

You have nothing here.

How did you catch up!

Yao Yao frowned. "Wait, let me ask my senior sister!"

"What's wrong?" A crisp snapping sound of a cucumber breaking between her lips and teeth erupted behind her. She turned around abruptly and saw Zhao Nan coming downstairs, munching on a cucumber, her fair and slender legs stepping alternately on the steps.

"Senior sister, Jiang Qiu said that her [Golden Spirit Cage] is about to mature today, just like Jiang Qiao's. What should we do?" Yao Yao asked with a doubtful and conflicted tone, after turning off her microphone.

"Crack... Hmm?" Zhao Nan paused, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. "So fast? Does he have a ready-made top-grade formula?"

"That's impossible. Nobody in the county has ever seen the [Golden Spirit Cage]. Jiang Qiao's father only developed a superior formula by referring to an incomplete mid-grade formula," Yao Yao hesitated for a moment, then muttered, "I suspect Jiang Qiu couldn't tell the difference and mistook a low-grade one for a superior one..."

There is a significant difference between rare and common spiritual plants. Since many rare spiritual plants are actually mutated from common spiritual plants, they develop inherent characteristics. Even when they are still in the bud stage, low-grade plants may emit a fruity fragrance.

However, in reality...

The unique fruity aroma of top-quality products is difficult to replicate.

People who haven't formally practiced Buddhism are not sensitive enough to this.

In addition, there was a lack of experience.

This could lead to misjudgment.

As she was thinking this, she heard Zhao Nan take another bite of cucumber and say crisply, "Crunch~ Let him bring the mother plant of [Golden Spirit Cage] to the store, just like Jiang Qiao did. It's not too late for me to pick it on the spot before making a judgment."

"Oh, if he doesn't produce high-grade fruit, Senior Sister, you can use Jiang Qiao's to refine the first batch of new pills. If he does produce... well, that's probably impossible."

Yao Yao shook her head secretly, then turned the microphone back on. "My senior sister said that if you come to the store tonight, we can compare your results with those of another cultivator before making a judgment. Is that okay?"

"Can."

......

Underground market, night market.

It's as lively as ever here.

People come and go.

After getting off work, Jiang Qiu brought out the packaged and protected "Golden Spirit Cage" from home and walked down the street.

One passerby after another turned to look, their gazes drawn like magnets to the tin cover that held the basins in place. "What a strange design! Why bring the basins to the market with him?"

He remained unfazed by the whispers and murmurs, calmly weaving through the vendors and crowds, moving from the outer perimeter to the inner circle. At that moment, several somewhat familiar voices entered his ears, rising and falling in waves:

"Holy crap, Li Si, I just saw Jiang Qiao go into the purchasing shop, carrying a potted spiritual plant I've never seen before!"

"Hey, Jiang Qiao's father is in charge of logistics at the garden. He can just casually bring over a pot of his own level 1 rare spirit seed, and we might not even recognize it."

"It's different. With Jiang Qiao's background, if she wanted to sell spirit fruits, she could just make a sound and contact the purchasing manager at Yidan Garden. Why would she need to come to the purchasing store? That potted spirit plant was probably cultivated by her own hands, and it's rare for it to bear fruit, which is why she had to bring it here personally to sell!"

"Sigh, her father is in charge of logistics. He can grow whatever he wants and sell it wherever he wants. We rarely see him anyway. Let's just buy some spirit fertilizer and head back. Brother Jiang's nutrient soil is really good. My second-generation [Wood Edge Flower] has produced two more flower buds. It'll be good to encourage its growth."

"I was just curious about what she planted, but never mind, I won't be able to plant it again anyway," Zhang San shook his head. "But speaking of Brother Jiang's nutrient soil, it's really good. My second generation is obviously growing better, and it doesn't need much fertilizer to mature... Wow, Brother Jiang!"

Jiang Qiu paused, then smiled politely as she bumped into the two people who were on her way. "You're at the market too? How are your second-generation 'Wood Edge Flowers' growing? They're developing quite well, aren't they?"

"Great! After the assessment ends in a month, I'm going to hand over the results of the second generation to you, Brother Jiang, for resale! We'll see how much money we make then, and I'll ask you to buy a few more portions of nutrient soil to expand the planting!" Zhang San laughed and scratched his head.

"Me too, just waiting for the assessment to be over."

Jiang Qiu nodded, "Okay, I wish you a good harvest. I'm going to the purchasing store to sell a batch of my new harvest."

"Okay, take care, Brother Jiang."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he continued walking into the shop, the sound of two people talking behind him fading into the distance.

"Wow, Brother Jiang has already raised another batch so quickly?"

"There seems to be only one pot, it's not a 'wood-edge flower' (a type of flowering shrub), is it?"

"Definitely not, then why would it need to be covered with sheet metal?"

"Hiss, could it be a rare spiritual plant with particularly unusual habits?"

"I think the smell is similar to the pot that Jiang Qiao brought in."

"666, can you even smell it from that far away?!"

"Heh, you know what, I can really smell it. They both smell fruity, but Jiang Qiao's is stronger and more obvious, while Brother Jiang's is very faint... Wait a minute, how could Brother Jiang get his hands on such a rare spiritual plant so soon..."

"How about we wait and see?"

Ignoring their surprise and suspicion.

Phew, Jiang Qiu sniffed and indeed smelled a fruity fragrance. One of the fruits was from her own bowl. It was like the faint, sweet scent of an apple when you put your nose close to it. You could tell just by smelling it, but the fragrance was as thin as mist.

The other fruity aroma is more like the tide.

The waves were surging.

From the store...

"Hoo~" A soft sniffling sound rang in his ears, followed by a pretty voice that interrupted his thoughts, "Such a familiar scent, are you the other [Golden Spirit Cage] cultivator that Sister Yao Yao mentioned?"

Suddenly looking up, I saw Jiang Qiao sitting on the sofa in the store, dressed in a beautiful and fitted blue denim outfit, her eyebrows raised proudly, squinting at me.

As she spoke, she crossed her right leg over her left, creating a bulge of flesh on her thigh. She crossed her left arm around her chest and raised her right hand, her fingertips playfully teasing a pot of [Golden Spirit Cage] on the table.

Tap, touch it, and the spiral fruit made of grass leaves trembles slightly, and the yellow core inside lights up with a yellow light. Just as it turns from yellow to red, the light dims again when the finger is pulled away.

Again and again.

Jiang Qiu's heart skipped a beat when she inadvertently noticed the action. It was as if she had suddenly seen the young lady idly pulling open and putting back the safety pin on a grenade, sending chills down her spine.

She is spoiled and unrestrained.

I don't care what we play.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

Jiang Qiao, who seemed to be a fellow intern, lived in courtyard number 17 just like Wang Baisheng, and they hadn't met many times.

All I remember is that when Wu Shan was planting, she used a medium-grade 1 pot to fill with nutrient soil, second only to Wang Baisheng.

However, it is said that she made no preparations that day and just grabbed the pot from the courtyard.

The same thing happened when demonstrating Reiki later.

No one in the greenhouse had ever seen her cultivate the mother plants.

I never expected this.

She is another cultivator of the [Golden Spirit Cage].

They have also cultivated a superior variety with a rich fruity aroma...
