The old farmer, Mr. Ye, looked at Ye Xiaochen in astonishment. He suddenly felt that things were getting a little interesting.
With his status, most people would be very respectful to him.
Zhang Keqin and Wang Yuandong were very humble at this moment.
But now, this young man was not affected by his imposing manner. He even heard a kind of arrogance in Ye Xiaochen's words.
Yes, it was arrogance.
He had seen many young people. Many of them were either very talented, had amazing abilities, or had strong backgrounds. But in front of him, they had to put down their arrogance and be submissive.
Okay.
He would give him a chance.
Mr. Ye nodded and said, "Okay, let's wait and see."
He did not say anything else.
He was really interested in this young man. He did not know how capable he was to be so arrogant.
Moreover, he felt that a cautious person like Zhang Keqin would not be so rash as to bring him here.
It could be seen that this young man had some skills.
With that, Mr. Ye walked into the house.
Ye Xiaochen followed behind.
Dean Peng, Professor Zhang, and Wang Yuandong also followed in.
The house was very simple.
The furniture was obviously old.
Under the window facing the sun, there was a table with a bonsai on it. A strange-looking tree was planted on it.
It was exactly the same as in the photo.
However, the withered area at the tip of the leaf was larger.
The whole tree looked a little haggard and did not have any charm. It was as if it was in a period of withering.
Mr. Ye looked at his treasure and immediately felt sorry for it.
Ever since he got this bonsai, he had been taking care of it like it was his treasure.
Ye Xiaochen walked up under the gaze of several people. First, she looked at it carefully. Then, she gently reached out and touched the bonsai.
It was not as rough as ordinary trees. It felt very delicate.
"What a strong plant consciousness."
However, what Ye Xiaochen paid attention to was that she could clearly sense that this tree had a very strong consciousness for the white wax.
In fact, this consciousness even contained a sense of vicissitudes.
Thinking about it, this white wax tree looked very short, but it had been growing for more than three hundred years. Compared to other trees, it could be considered very old.
The trees that people saw now were rarely more than a hundred years old. Basically, they were the kind of big trees that were heavily protected. Ordinary trees would be considered not bad if they were only a few decades old.
After such a long history, it was normal for the consciousness of plants to slowly increase.
In order to prevent others from noticing, Ye Xiaochen seemed to be casually touching the tree.
No one noticed that he was communicating with the plant consciousness.
Not long after, Ye Xiaochen withdrew her hand and frowned slightly. She combined the knowledge in the Shen Nung system's beginner's guide and began to analyze the plant consciousness of the white wax.
He sighed inwardly. Due to his own limitations, he was unable to truly communicate with the plant consciousness. Otherwise, he could directly obtain any information from the plant consciousness.
Now, he could only perform an in-depth analysis based on the changes in his consciousness.
This was a test of experience and knowledge.
Fortunately, it had been more than two months since he had obtained the Shen Nung system. He was no longer the same as before and had been reborn.
"Sir, I would like to ask a question."
After careful consideration in her heart, Ye Xiaochen had some ideas. Then, she looked calmly at the old farmer, Mr. Ye, and asked directly.
"What question?"
Mr. Ye had been paying attention to Ye Xiaochen's actions just now.
As a person who had been in a high position for a long time, he was best at observation, analysis, and analysis. It could be said that he had cultivated a pair of discerning eyes.
Naturally, he had already determined that Ye Xiaochen was not pretending just now. She was really immersed in carefully diagnosing the cause of the tree.
"Sir, do you usually water this tree?"
Ye Xiaochen asked.
"Nonsense, if I don't water it, it would have dried up long ago."
Mr. Ye rolled his eyes.
He wondered if he had seen wrongly just now.
"You're just pretending."
Wang Yuandong despised her in his heart.
Ye Xiaochen did not care. "Then what water do you usually use to water it?"
"It's the water from the stream outside the door. It's all natural. You can drink it after boiling. It's sweet and delicious."
Mr. Ye answered.
At the side, the white-haired old man, Dean Peng, was extremely surprised. Everyone who knew Old Ye knew that he had a fiery temper and would explode at the slightest provocation. If someone dared to ask such an idiotic question, he would probably jump up and roar.
But now, he showed no signs of getting angry at all.
It was really strange.
"Is there anything else?"
Ye Xiaochen continued to ask.
"No, just the water from the stream."
Mr. Ye felt that his patience was reaching its limit.
"How long have you lived here, Sir? After living here, have you been using the water from the stream here? "
Ye Xiaochen wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"Not long, about a year or so. I have been using the water from the stream here."
Mr. Ye could not bear it anymore. He blew his beard and glared. "Boy, are you done?"
"I'm almost done asking."
Ye Xiaochen nodded.
"Then do you know what the problem is?"
Mr. Ye said.
"I don't know yet. But I heard that this bonsai tree is extremely precious. There is even a special cultivation manual. Can you let me have a look?"
Ye Xiaochen shook his head and changed the topic.
"Wait here."
Mr. Ye said and went into another room. Then, he came out with a very unique wooden box.
He put the wooden box carefully on the table, opened the lid, and took out a booklet.
Looking at the booklet, it seemed to be very old. It was definitely not made of ordinary materials. Otherwise, even if it was well-preserved, it might have decayed.
"Boy, look carefully. Don't break it. Otherwise, you can't afford to pay for it."
Mr. Ye warned.
Ye Xiaochen nodded. Not to mention that the cultivation method of the Longevity Bearing was recorded in the booklet. Just based on the date, it could be considered an antique.
After he read it, he rolled his eyes. It turned out to be traditional Chinese characters. Moreover, it was in classical Chinese.
Ye Xiaochen seemed to be having a hard time reading it.
"Professor Zhang, why don't you tell me the contents of this booklet?"
Ye Xiaochen coughed and said to Professor Zhang, who had been nervous all this time.
Professor Zhang nodded. As a professor and a botanist, his literary attainment was still very good.
He explained, and Ye Xiaochen listened.
In a few minutes, Professor Zhang finished.
"Pour wine? You said that this two-jointed pewter likes wine? "
Ye Xiaochen was stunned.
"Yes, it must be watered with wine every once in a while. This can make it more charming."
Mr. Ye said, "Boy, don't tell me that it's a problem with wine. It has been a habit for hundreds of years. If there was a problem, there would have been a problem long ago."
When he first got this Longevity Bearing two-jointed pewter, he was really surprised when he saw the record of pouring wine. If it weren't for the fact that the previous owners of this bonsai had confirmed this, he would have found it hard to believe.
After that, he had been taking care of this bonsai according to the records in the secret cultivation booklet. There had never been any problems.
"Haha, sir, now I know where the problem is. If I'm not wrong, the wine you drink recently should be different from before."
Ye Xiaochen finally smiled.
He couldn't tell before, but now through all kinds of information.
He finally understood what was going on.
The problem.
The problem was … the wine.
