Chapter 198 Add Money

As if he knew that his attitude was too firm, Master Qian immediately explained: "My Qianhe Sect has been much better these days thanks to your Sect. If you want to ask me something else, I will tell you. But this matter is really not something that can be casually revealed."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly, but he was not angry at all.

Inviting someone to come is meant to seek advice, and it is normal for the other party to be reluctant to reveal information due to the constraints of the sect.

"Master Qian, the cooperation between our two sects was quite good a few days ago. The disciples of my Jiushan Sect also like the yellow sprout rice very much... I intend to buy some other spiritual plants and spiritual grains."

"...That's great!" Master Qian said happily, "Don't think that my sect is only famous for its yellow sprout rice, but that's because it's unique to our sect. We also grow other spiritual plants in Qianhe Sect."

Zheng Fa smiled but said nothing.

I just watched the joy on Master Qian's face slowly fade away and turn into bitterness.

"Master Zheng, what do you mean..."

Zheng Fa nodded.

His meaning is very simple - I'll add money!

Buying more spiritual grains and spiritual plants was not just a sudden idea of ​​Zheng Fa. Nowadays, Lei Chi Market makes more money than Jiushan Zong Market due to its geographical advantage, so the vegetable basket project should be appropriately enriched.

But whether these orders are given to Qianhe Sect depends on the other party's attitude.

Master Qian was not stupid either, and he seemed to understand Zheng Fa's unfulfilled meaning at once.

His expression changed rapidly, and he seemed to be struggling for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "This matter...is still not feasible."

Zheng Fa listened to him and continued, "Master Zheng, I won't hide it from you. Earning more spirit stones from the Jiushan Sect will only benefit me."

This should be the truth.

Master Qian used to be in charge of Qianhe Sect’s market, and had always played the role of Qianhe Sect’s purse.

His current status in the sect should be highly linked to the orders from Jiushan Sect.

"But if I tell everything to others, then..." Master Qian gave a bitter smile, "What's the difference between me and the traitors?"

Zheng Fa couldn't help but show some respect when he heard this.

When he first met this person, he always felt that he was a little slick, but he didn't expect that his performance at this time would make him look at him differently.

"Since you don't want to, Master Qian, then just pretend I never mentioned it."

Zheng Fa did not force anyone to do anything, he just smiled and said.

"Okay then...then the yellow sprout rice..."

"Everything is the same as before." Zheng Fa saw that he seemed to be worried about offending him, and said with a smile: "Master Qian, I am grateful that you are willing to take the time to come here."

Master Qian looked at him twice, and seeing that his tone was sincere, he breathed a sigh of relief and raised his foot to say goodbye to Zheng Fa.

Before leaving, he seemed a little unwilling and asked again: "Then... other matters of the Spirit Valley..."

"I have invited more than just you, Master Qian. My Hundred Immortals Alliance is nearby, and there is also a sect that specializes in cultivating spiritual plants..."

Master Qian’s face froze.

"Xuan Dao Men?"

"yes."

Zheng Fa nodded with a smile, as if he had no idea that Qianhe Sect and Xuandao Sect were enemies.

"...What good things can they have?" Master Qian did not leave. Not only did he not leave, but he also stood where he was, saying bitterly: "What little stuff they have, is not better than what we have in Qianhe Sect?"

"Uh-huh."

Zheng Fa agreed after hearing this.

"Then...how about..." Master Qian said shamelessly.

"Oh, they should be more generous than you."

Zheng Fa's words left Master Qian speechless. He didn't even feel that Zheng Fa was scaring him.

The Xuandao Sect was doing worse than the Qianhe Sect before - at least the Qianhe Sect had its own unique yellow sprout rice, but the Xuandao Sect did not.

Therefore, faced with large orders and the temptation of relying on the Jiushan Sect.

It is very possible that Xuan Dao Sect can say anything! "This... Actually, it is not impossible to say it," Master Qian's expression changed for a long time, and finally hesitantly said: "The relationship between the sky thunder and the spiritual plant can be summed up in two words."

"Which two words?"

"opportunity!"

"For example, melon and fruit spiritual plants, such as the Green Spiritual Fruit, must be planted during the Waking of Insects season when spring thunder begins to break out, and if watered with the Spring Dew Talisman, it will grow very well."

"The summer thunder during the Lesser Heat is the most suitable for the growth of spiritual plants. Sometimes, if there is no summer thunder, many spiritual plants will even have no spiritual energy."

Zheng Fa was stunned when he heard this. This sounded a bit like the problem he was facing now.

"Autumn thunder and winter thunder each have their own functions. Spiritual farmers have many secret methods on how to cooperate with thunder and rain to nourish spiritual plants." Once Master Qian opened his mouth, he no longer hid anything and instead told Zheng Fa a few basic secret methods.

After listening to him, Zheng Fa felt grateful, but also a little worried about him: "Master Qian, if you say all this and return to Qianhe Sect...will you be punished?"

"That won't happen!"

Master Qian waved his hand and said casually.

Zheng Fa felt a little relieved, and then he heard Master Qian say, "I didn't tell you about the secret method of my Qianhe Sect!"

"Ah? What about the previous ones..."

"They are all from Xuandao Sect." Master Qian said frankly.

“…”

"Well, they don't need to be generous." Master Qian smiled and said, "I'll be generous on their behalf."

“…”

This person is very...promising!

"Those orders..." Master Qian asked cautiously when he saw Zheng Fa was silent.

"Send some spiritual plants that you are good at, and let..." Zheng Fa looked at Senior Sister Yuan who was standing beside him and said, "Let Senior Sister Yuan taste them."

"Junior brother belongs to Senior Sister Zhang. Senior Sister Zhang can't beat him. Calm down!" Looking at Master Qian who walked away with profuse thanks, Senior Sister Yuan repeated in a low voice.

“…”

…

modern.

Nursing home.

"Teacher Tian, ​​I looked up some information and there is a saying that the key to the growth of spiritual plants lies in lightning."

"Thunder?"

Teacher Tian frowned, a little confused.

Zheng Fa briefly explained Master Qian's version of the Xuandao Sect's secret techniques.

"Lightning in different seasons?" Teacher Tian pondered for a while and nodded: "That's not impossible."

Zheng Fa's eyes lit up as he listened to Teacher Tian's ideas.

"Lightning is an important source of nitrogen fertilizer for plants." Teacher Tian thought as he spoke.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

He knew this, but it was not enough to solve Zheng Fa's doubts: "Our nursing home is not short of nitrogen fertilizer."

If this spiritual plant only depended on the presence or absence of nitrogen, Zheng Fa and his team would have cultivated it long ago.

"Yes, there is also a very famous Miller-Urey experiment here." Teacher Tian continued: "They simulated the early atmospheric environment and used electric arcs to simulate lightning, producing several amino acids."

"Amino acids? Origin of life?"

"It's just a hypothesis, but it also shows that lightning itself may be related to life."

Zheng Fa couldn't help but think of the description of thunder magic in the Xuanwei classics - the power of life and death.

It turned out to be particularly accurate in this experiment.

"Teacher Tian, ​​what you mean is that... lightning may produce some special substances in the spiritual environment, thus affecting the production of spiritual plants?"

"Yes, this is a guess." Teacher Tian nodded slowly, but then talked about another direction: "Another one I can think of now is the magnetic field effect of lightning."

"magnetic field?"

"This is also a relatively new research direction. Wait a minute."

Teacher Tian went back to his room and came back after a while with a tablet computer.

"Look, these are some papers."

She pointed to several documents on the tablet and explained one by one: "This paper uses cancer cells as materials and places them in different magnetic fields for observation. It found that low-intensity magnetic fields promote the development of cancer cells, while high-intensity magnetic fields inhibit their development."

"This paper uses Arabidopsis as the material to study the effects of static magnetic fields on its growth and development. It was found that 6000 Gauss magnetic field treatment can significantly promote the growth of Arabidopsis taproots. Further studies have shown that magnetic fields promote the transport of auxin in root tip cells, accelerate cell division in meristems, and increase the number of cells."

"There is also this paper, which studies the effect of magnetic fields on the growth of Flammulina velutipes mycelium. This shows that magnetic fields not only affect plant growth, but may also have an impact on the growth of other organisms such as fungi."

Zheng Fa read the papers given by Teacher Tian one by one, and gradually understood what Teacher Tian meant.

"Teacher, are you saying that it might be the magnetic field generated by lightning that affects the growth of plants themselves, or even causes their evolution?"

"Yes, that's what I think is most likely."

Teacher Tian nodded.

Zheng Fa knew that what the two of them had discussed so far were just two guesses.

To truly understand whether lightning can produce spiritual plants, more experiments and data are needed.

He suddenly realized that he seemed not to see the old white man.

This old guy has been sticking to Teacher Tian recently.

"Where are Teacher Bai and Tang Lingwu?"

"They? In front." Teacher Tian explained, "It is said that Tang Lingwu's father introduced a chef from a high-end restaurant in Beijing. He is cooking in front. It is said that it cost a lot of money."

"Cook?"

"Yes, it's very professional. They bring all the pots, pans, and utensils. We just need to provide the ingredients."

Zheng Fa was stunned.

Aren't they going to sell vegetables? Why did they hire someone to cook?

He walked towards the main building of the nursing home, and sure enough, there were several strange men working hard in the kitchen of the restaurant on the first floor.

Old Man Bai and Tang Lingwu were gathered in the restaurant talking about something.

"Teacher Bai?" He walked towards the two of them and saw Tang Lingwu waving at him, "Come quickly, you can eat soon."

"What's the matter with asking someone to cook?"

“This… this is Ling Wu’s little trick.” The old man smiled and whispered, “If we want to sell vegetables, we have to do it with empty words and owe favors to others—this is not a business if we rush to do it.”

Zheng Fa understood a little.

He glanced at Tang Lingwu. The girl had a smile on her face and didn't look like a fisherman at all.

In the kitchen, Zheng Fa watched as a middle-aged man who looked like a chef cooked a plate of vegetables, with a look of disdain on his face - perhaps because he thought the ingredients were a bit simple.

He habitually put one in his mouth.

…Look, it’s the bait! The chef looked at his hands, then at the pots and pans he brought with him, as if he had accidentally become invincible.

After cooking a few more dishes, he understood.

After the meal was ready, the chef did not leave. He just stopped the white old man who had eaten and drunk his fill with a smile, probably thinking that the oldest old man was the one in charge of the nursing home.

The sound of two people pulling and tugging could be heard.

"It's hard to talk about this. This is a secret of our hospital."

"I understand. I'll pay more!" The chef said firmly, "This meal is on my behalf, brother!"

“…”
