Xiao Fan's movements were very fast. In a short span of a dozen breaths, he had mixed all the medicinal ingredients together. A small bottle of light purple transparent liquid appeared in front of everyone.
Subsequently, Xiao Fan gently poured the light purple transparent liquid onto the stone seed, wrapping the entire stone seed within it. After which, he stopped.
"That's it?" Everyone's expression was incomparably strange when they saw Xiao Fan stop.
"It's done. From now on, this stone seed will germinate in two hours. In four hours, this stone seed will bloom and bear fruit!" Ignoring the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Xiao Fan slowly sat down again and opened his mouth to speak.
"What?" Almost everyone cried out in disbelief when they heard Xiao Fan's words.
"What kind of joke is this?" Someone immediately screamed in an incomparably high-pitched voice. "Just take a few …!"
"My master said that this stone seed will bloom and bear fruit in two hours. Now is not the time yet. When the time is up, everything will be determined. What are all of you shouting now?" Lin Shan had long been impatient with the various discussions of these people. At this moment, when he saw the sneers, mockery and doubtful voices, he finally opened his mouth to interrupt the screaming person and spoke in a deep voice.
"I don't believe it …!" Someone spoke again, shaking his head resolutely.
"Whether you believe it or not, wait for two hours. Now that everyone is shouting and wrangling, those who don't know might think that this is not the Sky Star Medicine Store, but a market where shrews shout and shout!" Lin Shan mocked.
When they heard Lin Shan's undisguised mocking voice, the Sky Star Medicine Store immediately quieted down. No one said a word because everyone had noticed their own loss of composure. Hence, they immediately returned to normal and paid attention to their manners.
"Let's wait for two hours. Everything will be clear!" An elder from a great sect tidied his clothes, glanced at Xiao Fan and the rest, and sneered. Subsequently, he sat down in the Sky Star Medicine Store, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the moment when the 'miracle' would occur in two hours.
"That's right!"
"That's right!"
The others also sneered and spoke. After which, they all sat down in the Heavenly Star Medicine Store and waited for everything to be revealed in two hours.
The Heavenly Star Medicine Store fell into silence. No one spoke.
The chubby old man also ordered his men to temporarily close the Heavenly Star Medicine Store and not allow any outsiders to enter. After which, he sat down and looked at the stone seed wrapped in the light purple liquid that Xiao Fan had concocted with a gloomy expression. He did not say a word.
In the beginning, he believed in Xiao Fan. It wasn't that he didn't have any doubts, but they were few and far between.
But now, the disappointment in his heart grew stronger and stronger!
This was because Xiao Fan's series of actions did not conform to any method of cultivating medicinal herbs. It could be described with the word 'nonsense'.
Therefore, he no longer believed in Xiao Fan, only disappointment and doubt.
However, the two hours were not up yet, so he could only sit there patiently and wait for the results.
Time passed bit by bit.
Soon, the hourglass in the Heavenly Star Medicine Store had passed more than an hour. There was less than a quarter of an hour left.
Looking at the stone seed that still did not show any signs of movement, mocking laughter rang out in the Heavenly Star Medicine Store again. The chubby old man's expression grew uglier and uglier. It was so gloomy that it seemed as though water was about to drip out.
"If you can make the stone seed take root and sprout, bloom and bear fruit, today I will …!" Someone stood up and laughed loudly at Xiao Fan and the others. The mockery in his laughter could be clearly seen.
However, before this person could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred!
The stone seed that was originally motionless suddenly moved. In the next second, an extremely tender green sprout emerged from the stone seed and appeared in front of everyone.
At the same time, hundreds of roots that looked like white threads appeared under the stone seed and quickly sank into the soil below!
"What?" The person who stood up and laughed forcefully swallowed the rest of his words. Then, he looked at the stone seed in horror as though he had seen a ghost. He was completely dumbfounded!
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
At this moment, everyone in the Heavenly Star Medicine Store stood up without exception. Like the person who had stood up and laughed, they all looked as if they had seen a ghost. Shock filled their faces as they froze on the spot. They did not move at all, as if they were statues.
The stone seed had actually taken root and sprouted!
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment!
Everyone in the Heavenly Star Medicine Store looked at the stone seed that had taken root and sprouted with disbelief. For a moment, they had all lost the ability to speak.
"How, how is this possible?" The woman in white with a veil over her face also looked as though she had been struck by lightning. Her entire body seemed to have frozen as she stood there stiffly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with intense shock.
"Impossible!" The old woman in grey also suddenly opened her eyes and immediately blurted out. Like everyone else, she looked as though she had been struck by lightning. Her body froze and her mind went blank. Her face that was covered in dried bark was filled with unconcealable shock and disbelief.
How, how was this possible?
Back then, Master Tang Daoxuan had already asserted that this stone seed was a dead seed. There was no possibility of it taking root, sprouting, or bearing fruit!
Why was Xiao Fan able to make this stone seed take root and sprout just by using some of the simplest medicinal herbs?
This was illogical, illogical, and absolutely impossible!
"The stone seed of my Heavenly Star Medicine Store has taken root and sprouted?" The gloomy expression on the fat old man's face had disappeared without a trace. It was replaced by an intense ecstasy. His fat body trembled slightly, and even the fat on his body trembled non-stop.
"You, you said that if our master could make this stone seed take root and sprout and bear fruit, how would you do it?" The Little Bastard stared at the person who had stood up and laughed. He squinted his eyes and said.
"I didn't say anything. No, nothing!" The person who had stood up and laughed suddenly became extremely embarrassed. His face was flushed red as he quickly said.
"Are you a man? Do you have a gun? " The Little Bastard didn't want to let go of the person who had stood up and laughed. He mercilessly mocked him. "You want to take back the words you said?"
"You actually want to swallow the spit that you spit out. Don't you feel disgusted?"
"You bastard!" The person who had stood up and laughed was angered by the Little Bastard's analogy. His face immediately turned green as he cursed. However, he also knew that he was in the wrong. He lowered his head and quickly retreated to the back of the crowd. He closed his mouth tightly and didn't want to talk to the Little Bastard again.
"Come, come, come. Open your eyes wide and look carefully!" The Little Bastard loudly shouted to everyone around him. "Did this stone seed take root and sprout in our master's hands? Did it happen within two hours?"
In the face of the Little Bastard's shout, no one spoke. Everyone stared at the stone seed that was slowly taking root and sprouting. Their faces were all red with embarrassment.
"Since that's the case, then slap yourselves eighteen times in the face to make sure you remember this lesson!" The Little Bastard stood in the sky with his hands behind his back and scolded everyone. "Then lower your heads and look at yourselves. How old are you? Hundreds and thousands of years old. In the end, you were collectively slapped in the face today. Don't you feel ashamed? "
"You Little Bastard …!" The Little Bastard's words instantly caused many people's faces to darken. Many of them immediately clenched their fists and gritted their teeth as they spoke. They had a strong impulse to beat the Little Bastard up in front of everyone.
"Don't be unconvinced!" The Little Bastard arrogantly said. "If you're in the wrong, you have to admit it. Stand still and take the beating!"
"Each and every one of you who were arrogant before, now collectively slapped in the face. Your faces have been slapped so resoundingly that it doesn't stop. Why are you still acting like a big shot in front of me?"
"You're not happy with a few simple words? You're really narrow-minded! "
"You're the one who's narrow-minded!" Someone was about to explode from anger because of the Little Bastard. He simply wanted to stomp his feet and curse!
Was this just a few simple words?
This was already pointing at someone's nose and scolding them. No matter who it was, they would be angry!
In the end, they became narrow-minded because they were angry?
This ability to distort black and white, how could it not infuriate him to the extreme?
"Young Master, I was wrong!" At this moment, the fat old man quickly walked in front of Xiao Fan and gave Xiao Fan an incomparably solemn bow. His fat face was flushed red as he spoke to Xiao Fan very awkwardly.
"It's okay!" Xiao Fan said indifferently.
"I'll order people to bring the medicinal herbs that Young Master needs!" The fat old man opened his mouth and said firmly.
"Okay!" Xiao Fan said leisurely.
The fat old man whispered a few words to the shop assistant next to him. Then, the shop assistant immediately left quickly and went to the secret storehouse of the Heavenly Star Medicine Store to retrieve the precious medicinal herbs that Xiao Fan wanted.
Then!
The fat old man calmed down again. His pair of red eyes stared at the stone seed that had already taken root and sprouted. He subconsciously held his breath, waiting for the next step of it to bloom and bear fruit.
This stone seed would only be useful after it bloomed and bore fruit. Now that it had taken root and sprouted, it was just the beginning. It was not the time to harvest.
The Heavenly Star Medicine Store had almost exhausted all of its resources for this stone seed. Now, it had finally reaped the harvest after nearly ten thousand years. At this moment, the fat old man was about to cry with joy.
Time passed quickly, another half an hour had passed!
Under the frozen and sluggish gazes of everyone around, the stone seed had finally completely grown into a half-foot tall dark green grass.
