Daxia's herbal medicine experiment! Oh no, just when we solved one problem, another one comes up!
"Alright, Aunt Liu, we should return to the Royal Capital to make preparations."
Ji Lingxue's voice interrupted Liu Fang's contemplation. Her face returned to its usual coldness, but with a trace of fatigue that others would find hard to detect.
"Recently... my Royal Uncle has become increasingly restless..."
"No matter what, we cannot let him know about everything we've been doing in secret, otherwise..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but Liu Fang understood the danger implied.
Thinking of that ambitious prince, Liu Fang's heart sank.
Her previous slight doubts about Lin Mo were instantly replaced by a greater sense of crisis.
"Your Highness, rest assured. Only you and I know of this matter; a third person will never find out."
"We'll leave immediately."
Ji Lingxue nodded lightly, took one last look in the direction Lin Mo had left, then silently departed the Xuanxing Chamber of Commerce with Liu Fang... Meanwhile, on Blue Star, Great Xia.
Before Lin Mo set off for the Xuanxing Chamber of Commerce to gather Materials for the Formation Plate.
Near the main peak of Mount Taibai, beside a newly cultivated experimental field.
Lin Xiyue stood on this special plot of land, accompanied by the Four Elders of Great Xia and her parents.
This area was classified as a top-secret zone, surrounded by visible and hidden sentries, with extremely tight security.
This land had been specially allocated for Lin Xiyue's experiments.
"Xiyue, everything is ready. You can begin."
After the preliminary work was done, the Grand Elder rubbed his hands, looking at Lin Xiyue with anticipation.
"Alright!"
Lin Xiyue responded, then quickly walked to the center of the field.
Before her, several agricultural experts had already carefully sown a small patch of precious ginseng seeds.
Lin Xiyue took a deep breath, recalling the "Green Wood Spirit Transformation Spell" technique in her mind, and began to form abstruse and complex hand seals with her hands.
As the Spiritual Qi within her body circulated, a faint greenish-blue halo began to swirl around her fingertips.
"Go!"
She let out a soft cry.
The greenish-blue halo instantly transformed into a misty drizzle, sprinkling down onto the freshly sown soil.
The spiritual rain fell, silently seeping into the soil.
The next moment, everyone present, including several well-informed senior agricultural academicians, all widened their eyes in unison.
Because a miracle had occurred!
On the land that had just been empty, tender green seedlings were actually breaking through the soil at a visible speed!
They unfurled their tender leaves, swaying in the wind, full of vibrant vitality.
The entire process took only a few dozen seconds!
The germination process, which would normally take weeks or even longer, was compressed to an extreme in a miraculous way at this moment!
"This... this is too incredible!"
The Second Elder was the first to exclaim, rubbing his eyes vigorously, afraid that his aging vision had deceived him.
"To my knowledge, even artificially cultivated ginseng requires a considerable amount of time from sowing to germination."
"But now, Girl Yue's Spell has made the freshly sown seeds sprout in the blink of an eye!"
"This is simply a miracle!"
He leaned in to look, and could even see crystalline "dewdrops" still clinging to the tender sprouts, which were precisely what the spiritual rain had transformed into.
"Hahaha, good!!"
"Excellent! With such a miracle, our biggest obstacle to implementing Cultivation for all will soon be resolved!"
Upon seeing this scene,
The Grand Elder's laughter was incredibly loud, filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.
Shortage of Medicinal Materials!
This had always been a sword hanging over the head of the "dao ancestor plan."
Without enough Medicinal Materials, it would be impossible to mass-produce Medicinal Pills and body tempering powder (crude form), and Cultivation for all would forever remain an empty promise.
But now, the feat displayed by Lin Xiyue showed them a glimmer of hope for completely solving this problem!
"Xiyue, how much can this Spell of yours shorten its growth cycle?"
At this moment, the Third Elder, equally excited, suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked.
This question was crucial!
"Uh..."
Lin Xiyue scratched her head, showing an embarrassed expression.
"I don't know either."
"I've never grown any plants before."
"How about, Grandpa San, you call some professionals to test it?"
This question had stumped her.
She was just an immortal Cultivator girl who could cast Spells, not an agricultural expert.
How could she know how much the ginseng's growth cycle had been shortened by that one action?
"Right, right, right, look at me, getting senile."
The Third Elder slapped his forehead, realizing that this question shouldn't have been asked of Lin Xiyue.
So he immediately turned and shouted at the few senior academicians who were already dumbfounded.
"Gentlemen, quick, come and see!"
Soon, those agricultural titans, whose average age exceeded seventy, hurried over.
Although they had already signed the highest Rank confidentiality agreements and had some vague understanding of Cultivation matters,
When they witnessed this supernatural scene with their own eyes, they were still shaken to their core, their worldview almost shattered.
"Dear old masters/mentors (implying a hidden powerful backer), please observe again."
Lin Xiyue said politely.
Immediately, in front of everyone, she performed the Green Wood Spirit Transformation Spell again on another freshly sown plot of land next to it.
The familiar spiritual rain fell once more.
The familiar sound of breaking earth resounded again.
The eyes of those old academicians widened, and their breathing almost stopped.
However, they were professionals after all.
After the initial shock, they quickly forced themselves to calm down and took out various precise instruments they carried with them,
Beginning comprehensive data collection and analysis of the soil and seedlings.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The Four Elders and Lin Guohui's couple waited nervously at the side, not daring to breathe.
After a long while, the leading old academician finally looked up.
He adjusted his glasses and reported in an extremely excited yet slightly trembling tone:
"Reporting, Chief!"
"According to our preliminary analysis and data extrapolation... if Young Miss Lin can cast this... uh... Spell on these crops once every day."
"Then, in just half a month at most, this batch of ginseng will be fully mature, and its active ingredients will even surpass those of ordinary ginseng that has grown naturally for several years!"
"Even if... even if it's done every few days, the maturation cycle will definitely not exceed two months!"
As this conclusion was announced, the entire scene fell silent.
Immediately following was a tidal wave of wild joy!
"Half a month!"
"Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes!"
The Four Elders were so excited their old faces turned crimson, each of them like a child, almost jumping up on the spot.
This news, for Great Xia, was no less significant than successfully developing nuclear weapons!
This meant that they would have an endless supply of Cultivation resources!
The era of Cultivation for all would no longer be a distant dream, but a tangible reality!
"Uh..."
"Four Grandpas, I think we shouldn't celebrate too early."
Just as everyone was ecstatic, Lin Xiyue suddenly leaned over and whispered.
Her small face, which had originally been full of smiles, had somehow fallen, looking worried and troubled.
"Girl Yue... what's wrong?"
The Second Elder was startled by her words and stopped his celebration.
Isn't this wonderful news? Why does Girl Yue seem unhappy?
"We seem to have overlooked a very important issue."
Lin Xiyue leaned close to the Four Elders, lowering her voice and sighing quietly.
"That is... this Spell can only be activated by Spiritual Qi."
"In other words, currently, throughout Great Xia, I am the only one who can cast it."
"But... if Cultivation for all is to be popularized, the amount of Medicinal Materials needed would be astronomical, at least enough to fill several provinces, right?"
"But even if I work myself to death, I wouldn't be able to Cultivate that much!"
"Besides, I still need to Cultivate; I can't be a diligent little bee in the fields every day..."
Lin Xiyue grew more and more aggrieved as she spoke, pouting and complaining.
"Oh, this..."
Her words were like a basin of cold water, instantly dousing the fervent hearts of the old men.
That's right!
They had been so caught up in their excitement that they forgot the most crucial point!
Spiritual Qi!
This was something only Cultivators above the Qi Refining Realm could possess!
"Damn it, we old fellows really didn't consider this point."
The joy on the Grand Elder's face quickly faded, replaced by a look of solemnity.
Qi Refining Realm Cultivators, Great Xia would certainly have many in the future.
But in a short period, with Blue Star's current thin Spiritual Qi environment, apart from Lin Xiyue, who had Lin Mo's cheat, it would be impossible for a second one to emerge.
Yet, in order to make Lin Mo, who was in another world, stronger quickly, they had to solve this problem of mass-producing Medicinal Materials in the shortest possible time... It seemed they had just solved one thorny problem, only to have another equally thorny one emerge!
It was a vicious cycle!
What could be done about this?
"Sigh, I was just getting excited too."
"I completely forgot that Spells require Spiritual Qi."
Lin Xiyue's small face was also filled with helplessness.
However, after a pause, she continued: "There's no other way; we can only wait to contact my older brother and ask him if he has any solutions."
At these words, the Four Elders all nodded in silence.
They were truly at a loss regarding this problem.
They could only place their hopes once again on Lin Mo, this "Dao Ancestor."
Hoping that he could create another miracle.
Otherwise, Great Xia's dao ancestor plan would ultimately not be able to speed up!
