Xia Chujian was curious: "Does it have to bloom to extract essential oil?"

Qilu, the lucky cat, said, "Of course not. Essential oils can also be extracted from flower buds."

"And the fragrance of the flower buds itself can repel snakes, insects, rats and ants."

"Master, don't you think there are so many meadows, trees, and water bodies here, but so few mosquitoes?"

"It's all thanks to the effect of the Tianwu Lotus buds."

"Qi Lu can help you extract essential oils from these flower buds and make perfume."

Xia Chujian's heart was moved, and she asked again, "What's that fragrance? It doesn't smell bad, does it?"

Xia Chujian felt that anything that could repel snakes, insects, rats and ants must have a very "attractive" smell.

Qilu, the lucky cat, said, "Records indicate that the fragrance of the Tianwu lotus buds is very elegant, a scent that cannot be replicated by current chemical engineering."

“It can only be extracted from natural sources, so it is very popular in the market.”

"There's a scent called Tianwu Lotus in the Beichen Empire's perfume now, but it's not extracted from blooming petals, but from flower buds."

"It can only drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants, but it cannot prevent the remnants of the species."

Xia Chujian was curious: "Why is that?"

Qi Lu said, "Because the Tianwu Lotus is only fully developed when it blooms, the petals contain a unique aromatic ingredient."

"Only the special fragrance ingredients that appear during the blooming season can prevent the species from extinction."

"As long as there's a blooming Tianwu lotus in the pond, the pollen spores will remain in place for a long time during pollination, so the fragrance is also very long-lasting, and can last for several years..."

Qilu, the lucky cat, was silent for a moment before whispering, "Master, the Beichen Empire's current records of the effects of the Tianwu Lotus fragrance don't mention that it can eliminate the deadly seeds."

"Qi Lu was extracted from ancient materials."

"Whether it still works or not, Qilu can't prove it."

"So, Master, please carefully consider whether to refer to this record."

Xia Chujian doesn't usually use perfume, so she doesn't understand these things and isn't interested in them.

But if Qilu has database data proving that it can eradicate the remnant species, it is better to believe it.

She said, "Then extract some essential oil from the flower buds and use it as mosquito repellent."

At least it can keep away mosquitoes.

Qilu suddenly got stuck.

The much-loved Tianwu Handan perfume, when I first saw it here in early summer, became just mosquito repellent...

Of course, mosquito repellent is the correct way to use Tianwu Handan perfume, but Qilu always felt weird, as if something was wrong.

Xia Chujian was just giving it a try and didn't hold out much hope.

She just thought that the pink and white flower buds floating in the clear water in the white bowl were quite beautiful.

I was itching to take some photos and posted them on my Moments.

Title: "New here, came across this thing, does anyone recognize it?"

It was Sanzong who responded first.

[Three Manes]: Sky Mist Lotus! It's actually a Sky Mist Lotus! Where did Master Shaojun find this?! This is the Sky Mist Lotus native to the Exotic Beast Forest! It later became extinct there...

Xia Chujian:…….

She had no idea that Tianwu Handan was originally from the Forest of Exotic Beasts.

Xia Chujian asked the lucky cat Qilu: "Qilu, do you know where the Tianwu lotus originated from?"

Qilu, the lucky cat, seemed to hesitate for a moment, so briefly that Xia Chujian didn't even notice before Qilu began to answer: "Master, Qilu's database doesn't record the origin of the Tianwu Lotus."

Xia Chujian didn't think much of it and said happily, "Qilu, your database needs to be updated. It's not even as good as Sanzong's!"

"San Zong said that the Sky Mist Lotus originally came from the Exotic Beast Forest on Guiyuan Star, but later became extinct there..."

"I don't know how I ended up on Beichen Star."

Qi Lu didn't look surprised at all. He said, "That's not surprising. The Phoenix-tailed Luan bird is extinct in the Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom, but it still survives in our Exotic Beast Forest, doesn't it?"

Xia Chujian nodded: "What a good analogy! You've convinced me!"

Qi Lu: “…”

Sanmane sent another message.

[Three Manes]: My Lord, could you… could you… could you ask Aunt Xia to bring back two Sky Mist Lotus buds? Three Manes wants to plant them in the manor…

Xia Chujian replied immediately.

[Xia Chujian]: No problem! I have three here, I'll ask my aunt to bring them all back to you!

[Three Manes]: Master Shaojun, can we video chat now so Three Manes can see these flower buds? We need two flower buds, one male and one female, to ensure we have enough for subsequent plantings...

[Xia Chujian]: Really? Are flower buds also male and female? Let's see.

Xia Chujian pulled out the virtual display screen and sent a video call invitation to Sanzong.

San Zong quickly connected and appeared on the virtual display screen in high spirits.

Sanzong was not very good at using this kind of video communication, so his background was not changed to a virtual background, but to his real place.

Xia Chujian saw the fields behind him and the pale sky, and said with emotion, "Sanzong, it's just dawn, and you're already here to farm?"

Sanrong nodded excitedly: "How did Master Shaojun know this?!"

Xia Chujian said patiently, "San Zong, I see. Your background is a real one, not a virtual one, so I can see the real environment over there."

"If you don't want others to know, use a virtual background, like this..."

Xia Chujian demonstrated to Sanzong how to change the virtual background.

Sanzong was very smart and learned it immediately.
