After Chu Zhou completed his onboarding procedures, Luo Zexuan took him to familiarize himself with the mall and told him about their previous time-travel experiences, which made Chu Zhou's eyes light up.

However, Chuzhou had too many questions, which almost made the eloquent Luo Zexuan shut up.

Lin Qianqian watched the show with amusement, making no attempt to help Luo Zexuan out of his predicament.

At this moment, Chen Dinghai arrived at the door with a very old man.

The old man was wearing a lab coat, his hair was messy, and even his thick glasses couldn't hide his dark circles. He looked both tired and anxious.

He saw Chuzhou as soon as he entered the door.

"Hey, Xiao Chu, what are you doing here?"

"Academician Chen, it's been a long time. I'm now an employee of the mall."

"Oh, I see!" The old man turned his gaze to Lin Qianqian, who was standing to the side.

Chen Dinghai introduced, "This is Academician Chen from the Otherworldly Biology Research Institute. He's here to ask you, Director Lin, something."

When outsiders are present, Tang Dezhong and Chen Dinghai both address Lin Qianqian as Director.

Seeing that the old academician didn't seem to be in good spirits, Lin Qianqian quickly invited him to sit down. She even took out a can of spiritual tea from her own space to brew some. This spiritual tea wasn't high-grade; mortals couldn't handle anything too high-grade.

But even after drinking this miraculous tea, the old academician and Chen Dinghai were all invigorated.

Especially the old academician, he felt all his fatigue swept away, and he could easily spend three days and three nights in the research room.

After taking a sip, Chu Zhou pulled out a test tube from somewhere and poured the tea into it, apparently intending to take it back for research.

Such smooth and fluid movements!

Lin Qianqian's face twitched with embarrassment; she felt so ashamed that she wanted to hit someone.

"Boss, don't mind him. He's just a research fanatic. He wants to take anything that interests him with him."

Luo Zexuan quickly stepped forward to explain on Chu Zhou's behalf, and then, quite tactfully, dragged the man away.

After finishing a cup of tea, Academician Chen seemed to come back to life.

"It's a great pleasure to meet you, Fairy Lin. Thank you for risking your life to travel to another world and bring back all sorts of precious things, making a huge contribution to the development of Yan Kingdom and even Blue Star."

After speaking, he stood up and gave Lin Qianqian a very formal bow.

Startled, she quickly stood up. "Don't do this, don't do this, it's what I should do."

She was facing a highly respected senior academician, and she dared not accept such a greeting.

After exchanging pleasantries, Academician Chen continued, "I heard that the hollow mulberry trees you took have borne fruit? I've seen the allocation records; the two hollow mulberry trees you took were the worst of the ten you brought back. One only had a few small flower buds, and the other was very withered, almost all its leaves had fallen off. I didn't expect them to bear fruit so quickly. Would you mind telling me how you cultivated them? Of course, if it involves your secrets, you don't have to tell me."

“You guys are really well-informed. The fruit was just borne a couple of days ago. I’ve only told Tang Dezhong and two of his employees about it.”

Needless to say, Tang Dezhong must have reported this news immediately after learning about it.

Academician Chen sighed: "We have no choice. The few hollow mulberry trees in the research institute are not in good condition recently, and other supernatural trees are also experiencing various problems."

He was deeply worried; the loss of those precious items was worse than death.

Lin Qianqian admires these scientists who value research more than their own lives.

Needless to say, we will do our best to help them solve their problems.

A few days ago, the Empty Mulberry Tree in the Blue Jade Space produced 10 Empty Pearls, which is much more productive than the one cultivated by the Sikong family in the Supernatural Realm.

According to the cultivation diary obtained from the Sikong family, the highest number of pearls a single mulberry tree in the Sikong family could produce was 3.

The larger the space of the empty bead, the fewer beads will grow.

The hollow mulberry tree in the Blue Jade Space produces beads that contain at least one hundred cubic meters of space, with three reaching one thousand cubic meters.

Lin Qianqian thought that this was probably related to the fact that the Kongsang tree was planted on the spiritual vein.

She specifically chose the location when planting it.

She not only planted the tree on the spiritual vein, but also buried a lot of crystal-encased fruit shells at the roots as fertilizer, and frequently supplied them with wood spiritual energy, which is why the hollow pearls produced by the hollow mulberry tree are of such high quality.

According to the cultivation log, the next result will be ten years away.

I wonder if, in the spiritually rich environment of Cloud Void Realm, channeling more wood elemental energy into myself could shorten this growth period.

Sigh! She's not good at analysis and research; she seems to need to develop a brain.

As soon as they emerged from the space, Lin Qianqian took out the 10 empty beads and showed them to Luo Zexuan and Wen Mingyue, and also told Tang Dezhong about the situation.

As soon as Tang Dezhong reported it, the research institute immediately sent someone over, but they didn't expect it to be Academician Chen.

With Academician Chen's detailed explanation, Lin Qianqian understood the current situation of the Superpower Tree.

Of the eight hollow mulberry trees planted by the research institute, three were already bearing fruit, but now the fruit is not only unripe, but some of it also shows signs of spoiling.

The other five trees were also half-dead, much worse than when they were first brought back.

The other trees with special abilities are in similar situations, but the Empty Mulberry Tree is in the most severe condition.

Now that I heard that Lin Qianqian not only managed to grow the hollow mulberry tree successfully, but it also bore fruit, I quickly came over to ask her for advice.

Lin Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how you cultivate them, but I planted the Kongsang tree in a space rich in spiritual energy. Oh, I mean, I have a planting space."

As she spoke, she raised the pinky ring on her finger before continuing, "Because I am a wood-type cultivator, I often supply them with wood spiritual power. Before, in the world of supernatural abilities, the Sikong family head who cultivated the Kongsang tree also said that the Kongsang tree was originally cultivated according to the spiritual plant planting method of the cultivation world. I suppose that the successful formation of the Kong Pearl is due to these two points."

After thinking for a moment, Academician Chen said, "We also grind the spirit stones we were allocated into powder, mix them with the powder from the outer shell of the crystal package, and other things to make a nutrient solution to water the trees, but the effect is minimal."

Lin Qianqian wasn't a professional, and based on the description alone, she couldn't figure out the problem.

Taking advantage of the free time, I planned to go with him to the research base to check out the situation.

Before leaving the mall, Lin Qianqian gave the can of tea to Academician Chen.

Lin Qianqian has great respect for these people who have dedicated their lives to the country and will help them as much as she can.

The old academician, thinking of the tea's health benefits, shamelessly accepted it.

I plan to take it back and make a cup for each of my old buddies to help them recover their energy.

The Otherworldly Biological Research Institute is located on a small island in the Yan Inland Sea. It was chosen there to isolate and cultivate otherworldly plants.

The three of them quickly arrived at the island in a military plane. The island was small, but heavily guarded.

After arriving on the island, one can clearly feel that the spiritual energy here is richer than that on the mainland.

At the center of the island is a very large glass plantation, which is divided into sections planted with supernatural trees brought back from the supernatural world.

As soon as she arrived, Lin Qianqian sensed something was wrong. She didn't make a fuss and decided to look around before drawing any conclusions.

I followed Academician Chen to inspect the soil quality, sense the distribution of spiritual energy in the air, and also looked at the nutrient solution prepared by the research institute.

The reasons for the poor growth of the superpower tree have been roughly pieced together.
