Zhao Hai paid attention to what was being traded in the alleys. In the end, he discovered that the goods being traded in the alleys were cattle and sheep. While people were negotiating, they would go outside the city to see the situation of the cattle and sheep before deciding whether to trade or not.
This made Zhao Hai somewhat surprised, but he didn't care about it. Although he wanted to get some animals from the Lion Soul Country, especially the cattle and sheep, now wasn't the time.
Zhao Hai slowly walked around the city. Finally, he settled down in a relatively quiet hotel. Then he went out of the hotel and strolled around the city. At the same time, he bought some daily necessities, but the quantity wasn't a lot.
This time, Zhao Hai came to Yadi City on a whim. He wanted to see what Yadi City was like. He wanted to see if the legendary Grand Duke Gan Ya was really as good as he was rumored to be.
Now that he saw Ya City, Zhao Hai believed Xiu Jie's words. Although Ya City wasn't very big, it was still very prosperous. Moreover, Zhao Hai also noticed that the taxes in Ya City were very low. Moreover, the prices of daily necessities were also very stable. This wasn't an easy thing to do.
Zhao Hai stayed in Ya City for three days. He had a general understanding of the city's situation. Then he inquired about some of the Lion Soul Country's unique plants and animals. After that, he prepared to leave Ya City and go to those places to collect these plants and animals.
While Zhao Hai was packing up his things and preparing to leave, someone suddenly knocked on his door. Zhao Hai stared, then he said, "Who is it?"
A voice was heard, "Mister, this little one is the shopkeeper of this shop. May I ask if mister is a Plant Master?"
When Zhao Hai heard the voice, he confirmed that it was indeed the shopkeeper's voice. Moreover, his spiritual force didn't find anyone else outside the door. Zhao Hai opened the door and saw the shopkeeper standing outside.
Zhao Hai had seen the shopkeeper twice before. He was a big fat man with a tall stature. Zhao Hai looked at him and smiled faintly, "So it's the shopkeeper. I'm a Plant Master. I don't know why the shopkeeper is looking for me. Is there something you need?"
When the shopkeeper heard Zhao Hai, he immediately became excited and said, "That's great. Mister, the Grand Duke's Mansion just issued an announcement. They're recruiting Plant Masters to help the Grand Duke's Mansion solve a problem. Mister is a Plant Master, I wonder if you can help?"
When Zhao Hai heard the shopkeeper, he couldn't help but stare. He looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, are you familiar with Grand Duke Gan Ya? Why do you care so much about the Grand Duke's mansion? "
When the shopkeeper heard Zhao Hai, he quickly replied, "From what mister said, mister shouldn't be a local. Mister, you might not know, but as long as the Grand Duke's mansion issues an announcement, then what they need to deal with wouldn't be a matter of the Grand Duke's mansion. Instead, it would be related to the northern part of the Lion Soul Country. There must be something wrong with the pasture in the northern part of the country. If it's a private matter, then the Grand Duke's mansion wouldn't issue an announcement. So if mister has time, then please help. "
When Zhao Hai heard the shopkeeper, he understood what he meant. He nodded and said, "So it's like that. Alright, then I'll go. May I ask if I need an introduction?"
The shopkeeper quickly replied, "No need, no need. Mister, you just need to go. Seeing that you're a Plant Master, the Grand Duke's mansion would surely entertain you. You don't need to do anything."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned around and picked up his wooden box. Then he went out of the shop and led Ban Zhu towards the Grand Duke's mansion.
Compared to the majestic mansions of other Nobles, Grand Duke Gan Ya's mansion looked very ordinary. The outer walls were made of earth, the area wasn't very large, and there weren't any tall buildings inside. The entire Grand Duke's mansion looked like a large courtyard. To be honest, Zhao Hai hadn't seen a Grand Duke's mansion like this before.
Moreover, Grand Duke Gan Ya's mansion didn't prohibit people from approaching. Even if you go outside, nobody would drive you away. You can look around outside, but you can't go inside.
When Zhao Hai arrived in front of the Grand Duke's mansion, he discovered that there were already several carriages parked in front of the mansion. Zhao Hai didn't care about it, he tied his horse to a post outside the mansion and then went inside.
There were four guards standing in front of the mansion, all of them were Soul Soldiers. When these four saw that Zhao Hai's soul was a Plant Soul, they didn't care about Zhao Hai and allowed him to enter the mansion.
When Zhao Hai entered the Grand Duke's mansion, a person immediately greeted him. When this person saw Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he immediately gave Zhao Hai a salute and said, "I've seen Mister. Did Mister come after hearing the announcement?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, I'm a Plant Master from the Sword Spirit Country. I just arrived in Ya City three days ago and was preparing to leave today when I heard the announcement from the Grand Duke's mansion. The shopkeeper told me about it, so I came to see if I can help."
When the man heard Zhao Hai, a trace of happiness appeared on his face. He quickly said, "Welcome, Mister, it is our honor to have you here. Mister, please come with me. Let's take a rest first. When everyone has arrived, the Great Guild will personally receive you." Zhao Hai nodded. Then he turned around and made a gesture. After Zhao Hai returned the gesture, he followed the person into the Grand Duke's mansion.
The Grand Duke's mansion wasn't very big, and there weren't many houses. It can be seen that the mansion's population wasn't very high. Zhao Hai didn't care about it as he followed the person to a row of houses. Then the person arranged a room for Zhao Hai.
This row of houses might be guest rooms, but it was a two-story building with rooms next to each other. Zhao Hai also noticed that there were already a few people here. These people were all Plant Masters, but looking at their levels, it can be seen that they weren't very high.
Zhao Hai didn't pay attention to them. At this time, he was controlling his strength, keeping it around 6th rank in order to not attract too much attention. In addition to the magic formation on his appearance, he looked to be around 30 years old. 30 years old and a 6th rank Plant Master. This was a very common cultivation speed, it was very common and wouldn't attract any attention.
Zhao Hai looked at the room. It was just an ordinary suite, there was nothing special about it. Zhao Hai didn't care about it as he sat down in the living room.
Just as he sat down, he heard a knock on the door. Before Zhao Hai could speak, a voice was heard from outside, "Mister, I'm a servant of the Grand Duke's mansion. I'm here to deliver tea to Mister."
Zhao Hai quickly said, "Come in." Just as his voice fell, the person outside responded and then pushed the door open. This was a servant around 20 years old. He was holding a tray with a teapot and teacups on it.
After the servant entered, he first gave Zhao Hai a salute. Then he placed the teapot on the table in front of Zhao Hai. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Does Mister have any other orders?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "No need, you can go back to work."
The servant nodded and said, "If Mister needs anything, just pull the rope next to the door and we'll hear it." Zhao Hai nodded, then the servant bowed and left.
Zhao Hai took a sip of the tea. The taste of the tea was good, but it could only be considered average. Zhao Hai also knew that this tea was considered good in this place. The Lion Soul Country itself didn't produce tea. All the tea here was shipped from the Sword Spirit Country. In the Lion Soul Country, tea was a very expensive commodity.
Zhao drank a cup of tea, then he took out a book from his wooden box and began to write. This was a record of what he had seen in the Lion Soul Country. This was also his habit. No matter where he went, he would write down the local conditions and customs, and then write a record of what he had seen in order to enrich the Hu Clan's library.
Zhao Hai unknowingly wrote for nearly two hours. While he was still writing with his head down, someone knocked on the door. Zhao Hai stopped writing and said, "Please come in." The door was pushed open and the person who greeted Zhao Hai was standing in front of the door.
The person bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "I've seen Mister. Mister, almost everyone has arrived. The Grand Duke invites everyone to the hall."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, please wait a moment." Then he put away his book, but he didn't take the wooden box. He stood up and followed the person outside. Before long, the person led Zhao Hai to the hall of the Grand Duke's Mansion. This place seemed to be used for meetings. There were a lot of chairs in the hall. At this time, a lot of people were sitting there. These people were all Plant Masters. Some of them even knew each other and were whispering to each other.
Seeing the newcomers, these people only glanced at them before they continued to chat. Zhao Hai noticed that the Plant Masters in the hall were wearing very good clothes. Moreover, their skin was very white and they were somewhat fat. At first glance, one could see that they were pampered people. Zhao Hai looked at these people but didn't say anything. These people should be the Plant Masters raised by the Grand Duke, right? These people didn't seem to have much ability. Most of them were just here to eat and drink.
However, Zhao Hai was too lazy to care about them. Instead, he found a place to sit down and slowly closed his eyes as he waited. Before long, a voice was heard, "The Grand Duke has arrived!" Along with this voice, a person came in from the outside. Zhao Hai opened his eyes and looked at the Grand Duke, who was rumored to be a God.
This was an old man who looked to be in his sixties. His hair was already white, but his spirit was still very good. He was tall, but his skin was very dark. His face was full of vertical wrinkles. At first glance, one could see that he was a very serious person. When he walked, his steps were very big, but each step was very steady. It gave people the feeling of a dragon or tiger walking.
When the old man came in, everyone stood up and gave him a salute, "We have seen the Grand Duke." Naturally, Zhao Hai also stood up and gave a salute.
Grand Duke Gan nodded, then he walked to the front and stood there. He looked at the 30 Plant Masters in the hall and said, "Our city only has these many Plant Masters. I want to thank you all for coming. Since this matter is urgent, I won't waste time. I called you all here today because a large amount of pasture has died in the Eastern Ancient Prairie. However, the Plant Masters of the Grand Duke's mansion didn't find any disease in the pasture. Therefore, I invited you all here to discuss what happened to the pasture." Then he waved his hand as a servant came in. The servant was holding a tray with some pasture on it. However, the pasture had already withered and turned yellow.
Grand Duke Gan pointed at the pasture on the tray and said, "Everyone, take a look. This is the pasture of the Eastern Ancient Prairie. Can you see what's different about the pasture here?" Then the servant brought the tray in front of the Plant Masters. Each of the Plant Masters took out a piece of pasture and carefully looked at it.
Zhao sat there in a daze. This was the first time he had seen a plant being treated like this. Just by looking at the dead grass, what could he see? If they can see what's wrong with the pasture, then the problem should be something that isn't difficult to treat. It shouldn't be a problem for the Grand Duke's Plant Masters.
Looking at the Plant Masters holding the pasture and carefully looking at it, Zhao Hai couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. His guess wasn't wrong, these Plant Masters had already become vermin. They simply haven't gone out to the wild to observe plants. They only rely on their previous experience and fame to make a living. Such Plant Masters wouldn't have any future development.
However, Zhao Hai didn't say anything. He couldn't just take away these people's rice bowls. Therefore, when the servant brought the tray in front of Zhao Hai, he also took a piece of pasture and looked at it. After carefully looking at the pasture, Zhao Hai really did find something. However, he didn't say anything. He wanted to hear what the others had to say before making a decision.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before the people in the hall put down the pasture. However, they all had blank expressions on their faces. Grand Duke Gan Ya was also a shrewd old man. When he saw the expressions of these people, he knew that they didn't find anything. However, he still had some hope and asked, "Everyone, can you tell me what's wrong with the pasture?"
These people looked at each other. In the end, a Plant Master stood up and said, "Grand Duke, the pasture doesn't seem to be sick. However, it seems to be lacking water. It's withered. May I ask if there's a drought in the Eastern Ancient Prairie?"
Gan Ya's expression turned ugly, he looked at the Plant Master and said, "No, the rainfall in the Eastern Ancient Prairie today is more than usual. There's no drought at all. However, the grass in the Eastern Ancient Prairie is dying on a large scale. Did you really not discover anything?" Gan Ya's expression turned ugly as he looked at the Plant Master.
Those plant masters looked at each other, but no one said anything. Grand Duke Gan Ya looked at them with an ugly expression. At this time, a voice was heard, "Grand Duke, I want to go to the Eastern Ancient Prairie to take a look. Can I?"
