Chapter 223 Ancient Tomb Peach Core
Ye Zhen squatted in the experimental field and looked at the several large peach trees in front of him.
A small tree hidden among the big peach trees is particularly eye-catching. Its trunk is not as strong as the other trees, but its branches and leaves are small and crystal, the leaves are emerald green, and the trunk emits a faint light.
Ye Zhen set up a formation around the small tree to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out, and buried several large spiritual crystals under the tree. The endless spiritual energy was absorbed by the small peach tree. Although it is growing slowly now, it is quite full of vitality and spiritual energy, which makes people know that it is unusual at first glance.
The various large peach trees around it have obviously benefited. They are tall and lush, with layered leaves and branches bent with weight of fruit. The researchers carefully propped them up with something, and the branches are full of peaches of various colors and sizes.
Red, yellow, white, carmine purple, light pink... there are several trees with hair and without hair. They are all new varieties bred by other researchers, and each has its own advantages!
This caused people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to check it diligently every day.
Now, several people were squatting on the ground looking at the small peach seedling in the middle. The peach tree was not tall, and when they squatted down, it was at eye level!
"Researcher Ye, this peach tree has finally grown leaves!"
"This thing can actually grow big!" someone exclaimed.
"It just grows too slowly." Someone lamented.
"Come on, it's amazing that a peach pit that's thousands of years old can still germinate." At this point, the person who spoke glanced at Ye Zhen and admired him in his heart.
Several other researchers nearby were carefully surrounding the small tree, feeling excited and having their own discussions.
This peach tree was originally the only one with life among several peach pits, and it successfully sprouted and grew under Ye Zhen's continuous supply of vitality and spiritual energy.
Several peach pits came from a large tomb unearthed in an ancient place a few years ago. The history is difficult to verify, and historians and archaeological experts have been looking for and reading various materials. It is impossible to determine the dynasty based on some minor texts, but based on other cultural relics unearthed from the tomb, it can be traced back to the earliest period, which is older than the known dynasties discovered today.
This discovery immediately shocked the world.
As the unearthed cultural relics are excavated bit by bit, the brilliant and mysterious things inside have attracted countless international attention, which proves that the country's historical heritage is longer than it is today.
The interior of this cemetery is mysterious and extraordinary, and the architecture is very different from the current cemetery branches, but it cannot hide its splendor.
The various carved buildings are magnificent and exquisite. The tall stairs to heaven are all cut from thick, clear white jade. There are inlaid chicken egg-sized night-shining pearls everywhere, and eternal lamps powered by unknown fuel that have been burning for thousands of years. There are also corridors paved with various jade and gemstones, small bridges over flowing water, ponds and streams, and many unknown flowers and plants emitting light white fluorescence growing among them.
Inside, rows of wooden figurines are all wearing golden jade clothes, with large and small money-making jade trees scattered around, large cauldrons for alchemy placed every few steps, and long painted walls engraved with runes and paintings of seeking immortality...
The level of luxury and mystery is unprecedented, with all kinds of precious and rare cultural relics randomly placed and piled up, and they are well preserved!
This shocked the whole world!
Even now, the excavation has not been completed. People outside only know that a large tomb appeared in a certain place and that the interior is luxurious, but nothing else has been announced.
The country has dispatched several large troops to station and guard the place in three layers inside and outside. The defense is tight and ordinary people cannot get close. Even so, many foreign spies have been caught.
This peach tree is one of the unknown plant seeds inside. It was originally a jade peach pit, carefully placed in a jade box. In addition, there was a piece of jade peach branch, which actually emitted a faint light after being opened.
Several people who opened the box were not only rejuvenated, but their hair instantly turned green and they looked several years younger!
This effect reminds me of the legendary peaches of the Queen Mother, which can prolong life and make people immortal. Even a peach branch can have such an effect. If it can be planted...
For a time, many people were excited. The treasure above was very precious and was now in the hands of the big leader. After all, the big leader was old and had been working day and night for the country and the people. He was under great physical pressure, and they all hoped that the leader could live a few more years.
The remaining peach core was closely guarded and heavily guarded, and it was handed over to Ye Zhen after many considerations and tests.
These were the pieces of information that were revealed to Ye Zhen from above. Ye Zhen didn't care much about them, but was interested in the plants in the cemetery.
When the peach branch was unearthed, many forces at home and abroad came to inquire and investigate secretly. There were also many thefts and robberies, which made Ye Zhen even more curious.
The research institute has already tested the activity of peach pits. It just so happened that they wanted to know the growth results of peach pits, so they gave the task to Ye Zhen.
Who asked Ye Zhen to show such extraordinary abilities?
This is indeed a spiritual seed, and can even be considered a mid-level spiritual seed. If it were to continue with the current thin and almost non-existent spiritual energy environment, this peach pit would only slowly exhaust its spiritual power and transform into a mortal seed, eventually losing its vitality.
Because it can't survive at all!
But Ye Zhen felt regretful in his heart. If there was enough spiritual energy, this spirit seed would still be a mid-level spirit seed after so many years of spiritual energy consumption. It is conceivable that it might have been a high-level or even a top-grade spirit seed before.
What a pity.
If it hadn't met her, this spirit would have died sooner or later!
The effects of high-level spiritual seeds are significant for ordinary people and can indeed prolong life. She guessed that Taozhi was one of them, so the effect was amazing.
It just so happened that her martial arts required more spiritual seeds, and she now had plenty of spiritual stones, which she could use in conjunction with her martial arts to create a small planting environment.
And this peach pit, which was supposed to die, survived.
After they finished looking at the growth of the peach trees, before they could catch their breath, Professor Sun grabbed Ye Zhen and headed towards the grain planting area.
Originally, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences here mainly studied fruit trees such as peaches, plums, and oranges, but Ye Zhen was so capable that he brought many surprises to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in the past year or so.
The business scope is getting wider and wider, and now there are a wide variety of fruit trees, vegetables, grains, medicinal materials, etc. The land near the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been expanded again and again, and even Professor Sun and Professor Liu who are far away in Kyoto have been transferred here.
From time to time, agricultural departments of other provinces sent people to learn from him, and Ye Zhen's business was booming.
"Ye Zhen, please take a look at my batch of second-generation five-color corn. Are the traits stable?" Professor Sun hurriedly pulled Ye Zhen to show her the second-generation corn she cultivated.
This five-color corn was originally planted by the mother plant cultivated by Ye Zhen. Because it was grown in Shanbei Village, it grew well due to the spiritual energy there. However, if it is to be promoted and adapted to the outside environment, it needs further cultivation by researchers.
The field in front of you is where Professor Sun breeds corn seedlings based on the original corn by cross-breeding it with high-quality local corn from various places. He selects the most suitable and robust ones for planting.
Compared with the original five-color corn, the result is slightly smaller. One corn has about three cobs, and the color of the cob is darker. Each corn is opened in a blind box, and the cobs on the same corn may have different colors.
However, Professor Sun is very satisfied. This is the third crop of corn he has planted this year. Compared with the previous two times, he is most satisfied with the third time. In terms of yield, growth rate, insect infestation, drought resistance, etc., they are all very good high-quality seeds.
If it is promoted nationwide, the country’s food crisis will be further alleviated, imports can be effectively reduced, and exports can even surpass them!
He looked at Ye Zhen expectantly, waiting for Ye Zhen's answer.
Ye Zhen smiled, skillfully guided the exercises, walked around the cornfield, felt the rich vitality around him and the light dots inside, and nodded to Professor Sun.
For ordinary species with stable traits, the halo is generally a solid color. For plants with unstable traits, the halo is a mixture of various colors, which has little effect on her cultivation.
Professor Sun was so happy that he almost jumped up and cheered: "Haha, I finally succeeded!"
He had studied various crops before, and had been studying corn for many years. Most of the different corns on the market have traces of his research. Since he learned that Ye Zhen had excellent breeding ability and a large number of mother seeds, he was very motivated and wanted to cultivate more new varieties of crops little by little.
He excitedly held Ye Zhen's hand and thanked her repeatedly, "Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come up with this result so quickly."
Ye Zhen waved his hand, "This is all because of your thorough basic research. Otherwise, my seeds alone wouldn't be able to survive outside. The seeds suitable for everyone to plant still have to rely on you researchers!"
The seeds and plants cultivated by spiritual energy and techniques can only be grown one at a time and cannot be grown for a long time or preserved.
This was the case with the seedlings that had been given out before, and it was only because the mountains and land she had contracted had a lot of spiritual stones and crystals buried in them that there were enough excellent plant seedlings.
She even spent a lot of money to get a piece of spiritual essence, but she didn't have the ability to adapt to the climatic conditions in so many places across the country.
No matter how many spirit stones you have, it won’t help. Without countless spirit mines and spirit veins, it’s impossible.
Professor Sun was in a hurry to report to his superiors. Just when Ye Zhen was about to go back, he was called away by Professor Liu, who had made new discoveries in his research on medicinal materials.
Ye Zhen spread his hands helplessly and followed the professor to the field. There were other researchers queuing up behind him to ask questions.
This has been Ye Zhen’s work status over the past year. Thanks to the research of countless agronomists, new varieties appear every once in a while. Now Ye Zhen’s company is close to home, so once a new variety is available, Ye Zhen will use internal channels to launch it for his own company first.
