Pouring a spoonful of the purple substance into the small pit where the seed was placed, Guan Yu quickly moved the soft soil around the small pit into the pit. Shortly after, he scooped out some water from the bucket beside him and poured it over the soil. Yue Qianchou watched as he completed a series of actions, then stared at the small pit.
Not long after, a crack appeared on the surface of the soil where the water had seeped into, followed by a few more. Suddenly, the center of the intersecting cracks arched slightly and broke open, revealing a conspicuous whitish green dot. If one did not pay attention, they might not notice it.
Soon, the green bean dot swayed slightly and gradually stretched out, revealing the figure of a small green sprout.
Yue Qianchou sucked in a breath of cold air, his eyes wide and tongue tied. "Is … is that the seed germinating? How … how is this possible? "He then looked at Guan Yu and cried out in surprise," How did you do it? "
Guan Yu smiled and gestured at Lu Ya with his lips, indicating for him to continue watching.
The small green sprout burst forth with vitality, its branches and leaves curled up and wriggled in all directions, expanding and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The tender leaves continued to multiply, branching out in all directions. The main trunk stopped growing when it reached a person's thigh, gradually turning from translucent green to brownish red. The entire plant seemed to have solidified, stopping there without any movement.
If not for the shocking growth process, no one would be able to tell the difference between this plant and other plants.
Was that it? Yue Qianchou retracted his thoughts and let out a breath. Suddenly, the plant moved again, its branches and leaves swaying, attracting his attention again.
The plant's silence seemed to be brewing something. Its branches were trembling, and the joints of the leaves and stems had bulges the size of beans. This was the case in many other places. When it reached the size of a broad bean, flower buds could be clearly seen.
Then, as if something was trying to break free from its restraints, the flower buds struggled to break free. Bright colors began to bloom, expand, take shape, and solidify. Fresh flowers appeared in front of them, their petals bright and fresh, their stamens pitiful.
After a long time, when there was no movement, the people standing at the side could smell a faint fragrance.
Just like that, a plant with dozens of flowers blooming on its branches stood in front of him. From sowing, irrigating, germinating, growing, branching, budding, and blooming, it was only the time it took to brew a cup of tea, it was really incredible.
Yue Qianchou, who had been holding his breath for a long time, slowly turned his head and looked at the bamboo tube in Guan Yu's hand. Apart from the purple substance, he did not notice anything unusual during the planting process. It was obvious that the substance in the bamboo tube was the key.
Guan Yu smiled and shook the bamboo tube in his hand, saying, "Let me show you again." After saying that, he squatted down and repeated the planting process in another small pit with seeds. However, when he placed the purple substance, he added half a spoonful more.
Soon, the seed grew into a plant with flowers swaying on its branches. Yue Qianchou, who had been silently observing its growth, did not notice anything unusual about it.
Looking at the two flowers standing side by side, just as he was feeling suspicious, an abnormality suddenly occurred. The flower that was planted later had its petals changed. The dazzling bright color was dimming, to be exact, it looked like it was slowly aging. The flower began to wither, its petals falling off one by one, then the stamens dying, followed by the flower stem falling off. Following that, the branches and leaves withered and turned yellow, and the leaves fell back to their roots. In the end, only a withered branch was left on the ground, and it was hard to tell that it was the same kind of flower that was in full bloom beside it.
"How is it?" Guan Yu shook the bamboo tube again and said with a smile, "What I showed you is not bad, right?"
Yue Qianchou nodded and said, "It is indeed a good thing. It can actually condense the growth process of a flower in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, it is indeed amazing, but …" He suddenly pointed at the purple substance in the distance and asked, "What I want to know the most now is, what method did you use to store the purple chaos in this small bamboo tube?" Just as the flowers bloomed and withered, he suddenly felt something and guessed what was in Guan Yu's hand.
"Ha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you." He originally wanted to tease Yue Qianchou, but he didn't expect to be seen through so quickly. Guan Yu raised the thing in his hand and sighed, "Although I don't know what this is, you know this place better than I do. You said that this is the purple chaos, so it should be the purple chaos. It was purely an accident that I found out about its use."
He looked at the purple chaos in the distance and said, "When I first saw this thing, I was very curious about what was behind the purple. After a lot of effort, I realized that although this thing is soft, I can't push it away, cut it, pierce it, or tear it. It is really amazing, let alone store it. I thought you might have a way, after all, you know this place better, but now it seems that you don't know. "
Yue Qianchou nodded and said, "Then how did you do it?"
"Haha, what a coincidence. A few days ago, I was hungry, so I took a stick to catch a rabbit. No one would have thought that the purple chaos that couldn't even be broken by iron and stone could actually be cut by the stick in my hand. After trying a few more times, I finally realized that this purple chaos was not afraid of anything, only things with the wood attribute could restrain it. I made a wooden spoon and dug out a few pieces to store it, but I realized that using anything else to store it would be useless. Once I put it in, it would slowly disappear. In the end, I remembered that bamboo is also something with the wood attribute, so I got a piece and tried it. Haha, it really worked. "Guan Yu laughed proudly.
"So that's how it is!" Yue Qianchou suddenly understood. He then pointed at the bamboo tube in his hand and pointed at the blooming flowers and asked, "How did you know that it has such a magical effect? Did you also discover it by accident? "
Guan Yu secretly glanced at the white fox and smiled sheepishly. "Haven't I been planting flowers every day? That day, when I was bored, I got excited and wanted to see what the purple chaos would do as fertilizer, so I poured a tube of it. In the end, me and … in the end, I was shocked. Only then did I realize that the purple chaos had such a magical effect. After trying it a few more times, I found out that the amount of it can control the growth rate of the flowers."
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that there would be such a treasure in my territory. How unexpected!" Yue Qianchou sighed and said, "It must be useful for other plants too, right? Yunchang, have you tried other things? "
The white fox at the side looked at Guan Yu. It seemed to be the first time it heard Guan Yu and Yunchang being addressed as such.
Guan Yu nodded and said, "I've tried a few. They should be able to accelerate the growth of plants. However, I found something strange. The flowers and plants that we plant don't seem to bear fruit or produce seeds. Logically speaking, it's impossible. It's still understandable if there are a few. How can everything just bloom and not bear fruit? It's the same for the ones that grow with the purple chaos. You saw it just now. Is it related to this place? Boss, didn't you always say that this is your territory? Please explain it to me! "
Yue Qianchou was also thinking about why. He didn't hear the meaning in Guan Yu's words that made things difficult for him.
His gaze swept across the flowerbed that was in full bloom. He seemed to feel that something was missing. After a while, his furrowed brows suddenly relaxed. Yue Qianchou pointed at the withered branch that had experienced the ups and downs and said, "Yunchang, do it the way it did just now."
