It was precisely because the Mixed Spirit Continent was too poor that it couldn't even be self-sufficient. Therefore, Zhao Hai thought of using the method of improving plants in order to make the Mixed Spirit Continent better.
Just like the Soul Realm in the past, why didn't the Soul Realm go through a lot of natural disasters but nobody rebelled? The reason was very simple. It was because the grains there were all improved by plant masters. The yield was very high. Aside from paying taxes, every family had surplus grains. They relied on those grains to get through the disaster years. The people there could rely on farming to eat their fill and wear warm clothes. Naturally, nobody would rebel.
The Mixed Spirit Continent didn't have a Plant Master. Although there were a lot of Soul Grafters in the continent, their status was too low. They didn't even have the means to learn magic arts, they had to make their own martial skills. The reason why they were able to make these martial skills was because they were constantly fighting. Because of this, all of their martial skills were aimed at improving their combat strength. They didn't think about improving plants. Because of this, the people here naturally didn't know the methods of a Plant Master.
But even if they didn't, Zhao Hai did. Because of this, Zhao Hai was confident in making the Mixed Spirit Continent better.
However, his current identity wasn't that of a mixed soul. Moreover, he was a member of the Jian Family, he wasn't a native of the Mixed Spirit Continent. Although the people of the Mixed Spirit Continent seemed to be very polite to him, Zhao Hai knew that these people were being polite to him because he was a merchant. The Mixed Spirit Continent needed merchants, and those who can openly appear in the cities of the Mixed Spirit Continent were merchants that the continent allowed. Because of this, the people of the Mixed Spirit Continent wouldn't treat him as an enemy.
However, this status wasn't enough to make people respect him. Because of this, Zhao Hai needed a high-ranking official of the Mixed Spirit Continent to help him. It was precisely because of this that he treated Mister Yu, the City Lord of Sea Spirit City. This would make things easier for him in the future.
After strolling around the streets, Zhao Hai returned to Mister Yu's residence. He didn't plan on going back to the Jian Family's residence because that would arouse Mister Yu's suspicions. In any case, Mister Yu's residence wasn't a big deal. Mister Yu's medicine wouldn't have any problems, and there were many people waiting on him.
When Zhao Hai returned to Lord Yu's residence, the people there were very polite to him. They invited Zhao Hai back to his courtyard and asked him if he needed anything. Zhao Hai only asked them to bring some food and drink, then asked about Lord Yu's situation.
Mister Yu had already soaked in a medicinal bath. This medicinal bath would take four hours, and Zhao Hai had been gone for quite some time. Thus, Mister Yu went to rest after soaking in the medicinal bath.
The next morning, Mister Yu arrived at Zhao Hai's courtyard with a ruddy complexion. Upon seeing Zhao Hai, Mister Yu cupped his fist and gave Zhao Hai a big bow, "Yu Jinglin thanks Mister Yu. This Yu will never forget Mister Yu's kindness."
Zhao Hai quickly helped Mister Yu up, then he smiled and said, "Mister Yu is too polite, this is nothing. Looking at Mister Yu's appearance, it seems like you slept well yesterday. Today, Mister Yu will soak in the medicinal bath for ten days. After that, Mister Yu's illness will be cured."
"Yes, thank you Mister Yu. Mister Yu doesn't know that this illness has been tormenting me for the past few days. This is the seaside, so whenever the wind blows, I feel very uncomfortable. Moreover, I haven't slept as well as I did yesterday."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "In a few days, Mister Yu will be completely cured. I can guarantee this. Right, Mister Yu, I have a request, I hope that Mister Yu can help me."
"Mister Yu is too polite. If you have any requests, please don't hesitate. As long as I can do it, I will do my best to help Mister Yu."
"Hehe, it's not a big matter. I want to go out of the city and have a look. I hope that Mister Yu can find a guide for me."
"Oh, Mister Yu wants to go out of the city? What's the matter? "
"Mister Yu, please don't be offended. I'm very curious about all kinds of plants. I want to study them and see if there are any differences between the plants of the Mixed Spirit Continent and the other continents. Moreover, I also want to improve the plants."
"Improve the plants? What do you mean by that? "Yu Jinglin looked at Zhao Hai with a puzzled expression.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's just my idea. Although I'm a Tree Soul, I was born in the Arctic Continent and have always been an adventurer. Later on, I found a spirit tree and sold it for money. After that, I went to the Thick Earth Continent, then the Tree Spirit Continent, then the Volcanic Continent, then the Acute Gold Continent, and finally the Mixed Spirit Continent. During this process, I learned some things in the Tree Spirit Continent, as well as other continents. I also did some experiments in the Acute Gold Continent."
At this point, Zhao Hai paused for a moment, then he looked at Yu Jinglin and said, "Plant improvement is literally using one's own energy to make plants better. This method has already been used in the Tree Spirit Continent. I've also learned a bit about it. I came to the Mixed Spirit Continent to help improve some plants." Yu Jinglin nodded, then he said, "I'm going to improve some plants here."
Yu Jinglin stared, he didn't understand Zhao Hai's meaning. He looked at Zhao Hai and asked, "What can you do by improving plants?"
Zhao Hai's eyes flashed as he looked at Yu Jinglin and said, "It can produce more grain, more hemp, and more cotton!"
Yu Jinglin's body shook. Then he suddenly stood up and looked at Zhao Hai with an excited expression, "Mister, are you telling the truth?" His voice was trembling. This was because he was too excited. He knew what it meant to produce more grain, hemp, and cotton.
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Although I'm a Tree Soul, I don't look down on Mixed Soul Cultivators. I know what the people of the five continents have done to the Mixed Spirit Continent, but I don't like their methods. This time, I came to the Mixed Spirit Continent to help. I want to see what I can do for the people of the Mixed Spirit Continent. Improving plants is the first step." Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "I'm a Tree Soul.
Yu Jinglin's body trembled, then he gave Zhao Hai a big bow and said, "Thank you Mister. As long as Mister can improve the plants of the Mixed Spirit Continent, then I would like to represent the people of the continent in thanking Mister."
Zhao Hai helped Yu Jinglin up and said, "Mister Yu, the Jian Family has always been fair when doing business with the Mixed Spirit Continent. They also want to help the Mixed Spirit Continent. However, they are a family. If they help the Mixed Spirit Continent and the other continents know about it, then they would be finished. Because of this, they can't help too much. But I'm different, I'm alone, I have no relatives or friends. Therefore, I can do whatever I want. I want to leave the city to see if the plants of the Mixed Spirit Continent can be improved, and to what extent. I hope Mister can help me."
"Help, of course I'll help. I'm not just helping you, I'm also helping the people of the Mixed Spirit Continent. You can rest assured, from today onwards, I'll give you whatever you need. If you can really improve the plants, then I'll let the people of the Mixed Spirit Continent know about you."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, Mister, don't forget about the medicinal bath. In a while, you can arrange for people to help me leave the city. Right, I also need a piece of land. It doesn't need to be big, just enough to grow things."
"No problem, I'll immediately give the order. Yu Quan, Yu Quan, come in." Yu Jinglin suddenly shouted at the door. Someone outside the door responded and immediately ran in.
Before long, a person ran in. This person looked to be around 40 years old. He looked very ordinary, but his stature was very tall. He cupped his fist towards Yu Jinglin and said, "Mister, do you have any orders?"
Yu Jinglin said, "In a while, you'll help Mister Zhao Hai leave the city. You'll live in my courtyard outside the city. After arriving there, you'll listen to Mister. If Mister wants to choose a piece of land, then you'll have to give him whatever he wants. You can't neglect him. If I find out that you've neglected Mister, then I'll peel your skin!"
Although Yu Quan didn't understand why Yu Jinglin did this, he still cupped his fist and said, "Yes, Mister. I'll certainly listen to Mister. Mister can rest assured."
Yu Jinglin nodded and said, "Alright, you can go outside and wait." Yu Quan nodded, then he turned around and left the room. Then Yu Jinglin turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, Yu Quan is my housekeeper. He represents me when he leaves the room. Therefore, no matter what Mister needs, you can tell Yu Quan."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, thank you, Mister. Then I'll be heading out. I'll be staying outside the city for a while. If there's any good news, I'll immediately send someone to inform Mister." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
Yu Jinglin looked at Zhao Hai with a dignified expression and said, "Mister, this matter is related to the lives of hundreds of millions of people in the Mixed Spirit Continent. If Mister succeeds, then you'll be the benefactor of the entire continent. We won't forget Mister's kindness."
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "There's no need for Mister to be like this. I'm only doing this to help the Mixed Spirit Continent. As for gratitude, we'll talk about it later. Right, Mister, I want to ask Mister to choose some Soul Plants and have them learn from me. If they can learn how to improve plants, then that would be even better. When that time comes, the Mixed Spirit Continent would become even better."
"Soul Plants? But our Mixed Spirit Continent doesn't have any Soul Trees. "When Yu Jinglin heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Sir, I'm talking about soul plants, not soul trees. In fact, all soul plants are the same. What soul trees can learn, other soul plants can also learn. For example, grass soul plants, vine soul plants, and flower soul plants can learn how to improve plants." Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Sir, I'm talking about soul plants.
"Mister, are you serious? Can they really learn how to improve plants? How is that possible? If that's the case, then why would the people of the Five Spirit Realms look down on us Mixed Spirits? "
