Chapter 372 Persuasion
The reason why Ning Xuan chose those seeds was because she found several familiar seeds among them. Although she only saw pictures at the time, she still recognized at a glance that they were varieties she had seen on Earth.
Ning Xuan now got these seeds. She picked up a black oval seed from them, put it under her nose and smelled it. Yes, this was the seed left by the benzoin tree.
The resin secreted by the benzoin tree is benzoin. Benzoin has the effects of invigorating the mind, promoting qi and blood circulation, and relieving pain. It is mostly used clinically to relieve symptoms such as coma, chest pain, and traumatic pain. It can also be used externally to preserve and regenerate tissue.
In the process of learning alchemy, Ning Xuan worked hard on the basics of alchemy and identifying medicinal materials. She had a high level of mental strength and a relatively good memory. As long as she had read the books, she could remember them at a glance. Therefore, Ning Xuan was able to quickly identify various medicinal materials in the subsequent adventures.
However, she believed that she knew all the native medicinal herbs known in this world, and she was sure that the benzoin tree was not mentioned in the books she had read about various plants and elixirs.
In order to verify her inference, Ning Xuan immediately went to the optical computer to look for relevant information. The optical computer was connected to the star network, and the information on the star network was varied.
Ning Xuan's slender fingers tapped quickly on the virtual keyboard projected by the optical computer. She first called up the complete database of the "Federal Spiritual Plant Atlas" and entered the four words "benzoin tree" in the search box.
The "Searching" progress bar flashed in the air for three seconds, and finally a red prompt box popped up: "No matches found."
Seeing that she could not find anything here, Ning Xuan quickly switched to the "Federal Spiritual Medicine Record" database and even spent some money to activate a scientific research-level plant gene library comparison system, but still found nothing.
Ning Xuan had no choice but to expand the scope of her search. She relaxed the search conditions to all entries containing keywords such as "rest" or "fragrant tree" and took a picture of the seeds and posted it online. As a result, only a few unrelated common medicinal herbs popped up.
The blue light projected by the optical computer cast shadows of varying depths on her face, reflecting her solemn expression.
"Maybe I shouldn't search for this name." Ning Xuan had thought about it a long time ago. Even if there is a plant species called the Sleeping Tree in this world, it may not be called this name. Since she can't find it, she will try another search method.
Ning Xuan drew a picture based on her impression of the Sabbath tree. The shape of the tree, the leaves, and the bark were all clearly drawn. After finishing the picture, she took a photo and uploaded it to the search system to search for similar plants.
At this moment, many entries popped up on the computer screen. Some were similar in tree shape, some were similar in leaves, and some were similar in patterns on bark. There were all kinds of them. Hundreds of information popped up in a short while.
Ning Xuan checked one by one and found that none of them were the correct answer. In other words, there was no relevant information about the Dormition Tree in the current database.
Ning Xuan looked at the other seeds. Except for the red eucalyptus and green wind vine, she didn't recognize the other seeds. However, some of them had strong power fluctuations and were obviously not ordinary.
When Ning Xuan was selecting these seeds, Lin Yuzhi was also present. She strongly stopped Ning Xuan and told her that although these seeds were precious, they were very useless. The Botanical Research Institute had tried to grow these seeds and failed to successfully cultivate plants.
Ning Xuan did not listen to Lin Yuzhi's advice. She was not interested in other rewards. Only these seeds were more to her liking.
Besides, if a benzoin tree could be grown, she would have an endless supply of spices to use. She used to use benzoin to make medicine.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Lin Yuzhi just let her do what she wanted.
At the celebration banquet after the war, the base commander-in-chief Yue Qingtian was very enthusiastic towards Ning Xuan and Lin Mo. Lin Mo made great contributions in this war and had been promoted to the rank of general, but he was still very young after all. Although his rank had been promoted, he still had a long way to go if he wanted to gain the real power that matched this rank.
Of course, Lin Mo is not in a hurry. In fact, he is very satisfied with his current position. He has two months of leave every year to visit his family. Normally, as long as the base is not involved in a war, he does not have to stay in the base. He just needs to take care of his subordinates' affairs on time.
At this celebration banquet, Yue Qingtian jokingly asked Ning Xuan when she and Lin Mo would hold the bond ceremony.
As soon as Yue Qingtian said this, Lin Mo's face turned pale with fright. He was sitting next to Ning Xuan at the time. When he heard Yue Qingtian's words, he subconsciously looked at his mother.
Lin Mo secretly groaned in his heart. He now thought that it must be his mother who asked Yue Qingtian to ask Ning Xuan. What was the difference between this and urging Ning Xuan to give him a status.
The situation on high-level planets is different from that on low-level planets. Among spirit controllers with spiritual power above level B, the ratio of male to female is seriously unbalanced, with the number of males being a hundred times that of females. Therefore, there are often many contractors under the name of a contract master. Among these contractors, only a very few can hold a contract-making ceremony with the contract master and inform both parties' relatives, friends and people they know.
Ning Xuan happened to turn around and look at Lin Yuzhi at this time. She also suspected that Yue Qingtian asked this question on behalf of Lin Yuzhi.
"I have never thought about this issue before. Commander Yue reminded me in time. I will go back and think about it." Ning Xuan said with a smile.
"Hahaha, Miss Ning is so young but her mental strength is so high and her medical skills are so good. She is really a rare talent. General Lin, you are so lucky. Miss Ning, you know Lin Mo's strength even I don't need to tell you. What's more, Lin Mo has made great contributions this time and his military rank has been promoted to general. How many generals are there in the whole federation who are so young? So Miss Ning, you are not bad either. Look, look, you are very compatible standing together. You are a match made in heaven." Yue Qingtian nodded with more and more satisfaction as he looked at them.
"When you hold the marriage ceremony, I must go to the wedding to drink a glass of wine. Don't forget to send me a message then." Yue Qingtian drank quite a lot of wine and was talking a lot at the moment.
Seeing that Yue Qingtian kept talking about this topic, Ning Xuan couldn't help but smile reluctantly. Seeing this, Lin Mo quickly raised his glass to toast Yue Qingtian and calmly changed the subject. He didn't want to listen to Yue Qingtian anymore. If he continued, he was afraid that Ning Xuan would get impatient and slam the door and leave.
When Yue Qingtian raised the question of when to sign the contract, Lin Yuzhi secretly observed Ning Xuan's expression. After seeing Ning Xuan's expression, Lin Yuzhi felt a little heavy. There was no concealment on Ning Xuan's face at all. Lin Yuzhi didn't need to observe her words and expressions to see clearly that Ning Xuan didn't want to hold a contract ceremony with Lin Mo, at least not now or in the short term.
