44 The Seventh Inn
◎A hot spring hotel far away.◎
Black Spider's first reaction was "impossible".
The young knight next to him expressed his thoughts: "You said 'fetal seed' is still credible, how could 'heart seed' appear in the wild? And it was seven years after the death of the sacred tree."
Zi Ye said calmly: "I am sure it is 'heart seed'. It's okay that I don't want to ask the clan leader, I just want to come back and pick a few moon god flowers. The sacred tree is dead, and the moon god flowers are about to disappear, why not let me take them back and use them."
Black Spider reacted: "Do you want the moon god flowers to raise 'heart seeds'?"
Zi Ye nodded.
The clan leader and elders were invited to the back hall, and there were two teams of temple knights, including Jian Lan and Ying Tong.
They had been in the temple for less than two years, and their qualifications and age were relatively short, so they stood behind the crowd.
Hearing that there is a "heart seed" left outside the Shenmu tribe, most of the temple knights do not believe it.
The tangerine tree bears two kinds of fruits. The ordinary fruit that is produced once a year is called "seed seed".
The so-called "heart seed" is a batch of fruits that grows at the top of the tree crown and only bears once every fifty years.
The picking conditions are harsh. It must be picked and preserved within half a day when the "heart seed" is fully mature. It will be useless if it is picked too early or too late.
As for when the fruit is fully mature, it depends on the experienced old people to judge.
The back hall was noisy, and the young people felt that Ziye's words were unreliable.
The elder looked at the clan leader and said slowly: "I remember an old story."
The clan leader had a tree leaf plaster on his face and glanced at him, meaning "If you have something to say, say it quickly."
The elder and the clan leader have worked together for many years. The elder is a slow person, and the clan leader is impatient. They have not changed even when they are old.
Since childhood, the two have not gotten along, but for so many years, one tribe leader and one elder have to make all the decisions together.
The elder talked about a long time ago, about a hundred years ago.
The elder and the tribe leader were still young knights guarding the temple.
When they were young, they were highly respected in the knight group and were expected by the elders in the tribe.
That year, the old knight leader was about to step down and take over the position of tribe leader.
Not surprisingly, the new knight leader was among the young elders and tribe leaders.
This year, the tangerine trees grew particularly well, and it was also the year when the "heart seeds" could be picked once every fifty years.
In previous years, the Knight Chief personally confirmed the number of "heart seeds", perhaps with the intention of evaluating the effectiveness. This year, the Knight Chief asked the clan leader and elders, who were still young knights at the time, to confirm.
The trunk of the tangerine tree in its prime is extremely tall, and the top is covered by bracts.
It will disguise and hide the number of "heart seeds".
To confirm, you must climb to the top of the tree and count them one by one.
The elder, who is usually slow-tempered, happened to be free that day. He went to the forbidden garden before the clan leader, climbed up the tree and counted carefully nine times, confirming that there were six "heart seeds".
In the afternoon, the clan leader went to the forbidden garden and counted five.
After the fruit was ripe, it was picked and it turned out to be five "heart seeds".
At the end of the year, the clan leader was promoted to Knight Chief, and the elders continued to stay in the Knights.
Many years passed, and the elders had a question in their minds. Did he really count wrong? Or did the clan leader have a ghost?
In the back hall, there was only the elder's long and sad voice. The knights who were just noisy held their breath and dared not make a sound.
What kind of sudden self-explosion scene was this?
There was such a deep discord between the clan leader and the elders?
The tribe leader rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You still remember what happened a hundred years ago? You have plenty of free time. Tell me the truth, I climbed up and counted them dozens of times, both my legs were worn out, five is five, who is behind you?"
The young knight was silent: Don't you remember it very clearly too...
The two parties' statements don't match, so what happened back then?
Zi Ye stood up and said, "The elder means that there were indeed six 'heart seeds' back then, but when the clan leader went to count them, there were only five, and one was lost."
The elder said, "Now that I think about it, it might be possible. In the past hundred years, Lao Chai and I have been guarding the sacred tree, and only one strange thing has happened."
"But who can steal the fruit on the tree crown quietly?"
"Even if the 'heart seed' was really stolen, can it still be used after a hundred years? It was not ripe when it was picked at that time."
The heart seed is very delicate. It only bears fruit
once every fifty years. If you want to pick it from the tree, you have to wait until it is happy. It doesn't work if you pick it too early or too late. It's hard to pick it, but if you don't preserve it well, it will die quietly.
About ten years ago, the chief and elders noticed that the sacred tree was not in good condition and had a premonition that the sacred tree would die. They took out the "heart seeds" that they had collected for hundreds of years, but none of the dozens of seeds in good condition survived.
No matter how skeptical the tribe members were, Zi Ye had only one thing to say: "The seed in Lu Yao's hand is indeed a 'heart seed', and she may be able to grow it alive."
"Lu Yao?"
"Ah, is it the adult in the legend?"
"Recently, everyone who comes to ask for a fetus seed talks about her and the hotel."
"Zi Ye, do you know her too?"
"How did the 'heart seed' get into the hands of an adult?"
"Lu Yao" and "the hotel" are the hot topics in the sacred tree tribe recently, and the only people in the tribe who have actually been to the hotel are Jian Lan and Ying Tong. The more people who have never been there, the more curious they are.
The little people were discussing it privately. On the one hand, they thought the rumor was too exaggerated, and on the other hand, they were curious because they kept hearing about it. Now it was related to the "heart seed", and it instantly turned from a "hot topic" to a "hot topic".
"Why can she grow it? None of us can grow it."
Zi Ye told what happened in the hotel many days ago. The fetus, which was so weak that the afterbirth was white and had no vitality, was saved by the adult human innkeeper, and even made the fetus healthier than before leaving the temple.
The Knight-Captain lowered his head: "After all, it has been picked for seven years. Even the more casual and lively 'seed' is about to die."
The fetus is weak for no other reason, just because they are the last batch of fruits picked from the sacred tree seven years ago, and they have been well preserved in the temple.
In order to keep the secret of the death of the sacred tree as long as possible, the entire tribe of the sacred tree has not taken a single "seed" for seven years, so there have been no newborns in the tribe for seven years.
They have not given up hope, but they are really at the end of their rope and have exhausted all methods.
There are less than twenty "seeds" in the box hall now, and they are getting weaker day by day.
Half of them may not be able to become "fetal seeds" from "seed seeds".
Now, they have received news that even if the "seed seeds" are successfully transformed into "fetal seeds", they may die halfway.
Just like the rapid extinction of the adult human race, the little people will soon come to an end.
The elder looked at the clan leader: "If that's the case, you and I must go see her in person."
The clan leader leaned on his short staff and hurriedly stood up: "What are you waiting for? Get ready."
The Knight Captain immediately began to call people. Last time, no one was willing to go to Stranglethorn Vale, but this time everyone raised their hands to express their opinions, fearing that they would be left behind.
Zi Ye looked dazed. He really just wanted to come back and find an opportunity to pick a few Luna Grass. The situation was out of control...
After many years, the old clan leader's ability to act and make decisions was still so impressive.

After the Rose Guest Room, the Hot Spring Guest Room was also completed soon.
Lu Yao posted a short video on the VIP Square of the intranet and opened a reservation channel for VIP guests. Both
large and small hot spring rooms are officially open for business.
[Lu Yao's hotel announcement spread far and wide, and it was upgraded to a four-star hotel. Reward popularity +10000, stone potato +100. Please keep up the hard work, owner!
Stone potato?
Lu Yao had heard of the staple food that the little people often talked about.
She took out a stone potato from her portable warehouse. It was bigger than a quail egg and a little smaller than an egg. It had a gray-black skin and looked like a plant like potato. It felt like a stone when pinched.
Lu Yao didn't think about the use of the stone potato for the time being. She threw it back into the warehouse, turned around, clicked on the system panel, clicked on the map, and then clicked on the sign of the hotel on the map. A prompt appeared: "Do you want to spend 100,000 popularity points to change the name once?"
Lu Yao clicked "Yes".
[After spending 100,000 popularity points, "Lu Yao's Hotel" was officially renamed "Lu Yao's Hot Spring Hotel". 】
【System prompt: The basic completion rate of the hotel has reached 80%, and it has successfully received 100 tourists. The star rating of the hotel has been upgraded to four stars. The current task completion rate is 85%. Please keep working hard, owner! 】
As long as one more star rating is upgraded, the task will be completed.
Outside the door, the platform for the telescopic cable car has been built. The pulley parts, ropeway equipment, safety equipment, and tools are all in Lu Yao's warehouse. It can be said that all preparations are in place, and only the landing is left. Lu
Yao exited the owner interface, put on his backpack and prepared to go out, when his cell phone suddenly rang.
【Author's words】
The two old men have a good memory and have been holding a grudge against each other for a hundred years.
