1064 We’re All Country b.u.mpkins (2)
He Zhiqiu thanked Si Cheng and returned to the town with Yu Huang.
After finding the new boss, He Zhiqiu asked him for a Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s.
The new owner was surprisingly easygoing. He said, “Your a.s.sessment mission is to plant the Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s, so according to the rules, you should have obtained a Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s seed. Wait a moment, I’ll go get it for you now.”
The plant base was very s.p.a.cious. There were many display shelves inside. On the shelves, there were neat boxes filled with all kinds of precious spirit herb seeds.
!!
Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s was already extinct, and its seeds were also very precious, so they were treasured on the highest floor of the last row of display shelves.
The owner flew up to the top of the display rack and carefully pulled out a wooden box. Then, he carried the box towards He Zhiqiu and the others.
When He Zhiqiu saw this scene, he couldn’t help but recall the past ten years ago when the black-hearted owner casually took out a bag of black sesame seeds from the display shelf and threw it to him.
He could only blame himself for being stupid. Why didn’t he notice anything at that time? Could the seeds of the Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s be randomly stored in a cloth bag?
The new owner opened the wooden box and solemnly took out a seed that looked like a black sesame seed.
When He Zhiqiu saw the black sesame, his expression instantly became extremely ugly. “You’re still planning to fool me with black sesame seeds?”
The new owner froze for a moment before he realized that He Zhiqiu had misunderstood.
“Mr. He, the seeds of the Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s are indeed very similar to the seeds of the black sesame seeds, but their scents are completely different.” The owner handed the seed to He Zhiqiu and said, “The seeds of the Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s actually have the scent of death. If you don’t believe me, you can smell them.”
He Zhiqiu leaned closer and took a sniff. As expected, he smelled a scent of death that made his hair stand on end.
He Zhiqiu’s expression softened slightly. Then, he glanced into the box and saw that there were more than ten grains at the bottom. He said, “Give me a few more.”
The owner smiled politely, but he rejected him firmly. “Mr. He, there are only 11 Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s seeds left in the entire Cang Lang Continent. We can’t hand it to you without permission.”
He Zhiqiu thought about it seriously, then he raised a condition. “Let’s make a deal. If I can successfully plant this seed, give me the other seeds. I’m willing to help you plant them for free. But after all the Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s sprout, I only need to keep two. I’ll give the rest to you guys.”
The owner hesitated.
In fact, in the beginning, there were a total of 100 Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s seeds preserved in the Cang Lang Continent. Later, the Pharmacist a.s.sociation handed 88 of them to the most outstanding herbalists to cultivate new Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s. Unsurprisingly, they all failed.
From then on, the Pharmacist a.s.sociation couldn’t bear to waste any more Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s seeds.
If He Zhiqiu could really plant the Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s and use two Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s in exchange for ten Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s, wouldn’t this be a win-win deal?
At the thought of this, the owner relaxed and said with reservations, “If you can really make them sprout, I will fight for this cooperation opportunity from the a.s.sociation.”
“Okay.”
After He Zhiqiu took the seeds and left the base, he said to Yu Huang, “If I can really plant them, I’ll give you one and give the other to Brother Lin.”
Yu Huang was somewhat shocked when she heard this and asked He Zhiqiu, “Why are you giving one to me?”
He Zhiqiu looked at Yu Huang with a meaningful gaze as he said, “You wouldn’t follow me to the Spirit Gra.s.s base to look at the Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s for no reason. You actually need the Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s very much, right?” He Zhiqiu knew the miraculous effect of Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s, so he guessed that Yu Huang probably wanted to revive someone important.
Yu Huang smiled, but didn’t deny He Zhiqiu’s guess. “Then I wish you the best of luck in planting the Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s as soon as possible.”
“I definitely can.”
They were about to get what they wanted, so their sojourn at Ascension Town should come to an end.
They came here from the Time Pavilion, so they had to leave from the Time Pavilion.
Si Cheng stood under the roof of the Time Pavilion and watched them leave. Like a guide, he pointed at the other end of the gra.s.sland and said, “After pa.s.sing through the s.p.a.ce-time barrier at the end of the gra.s.sland, you guys will see the s.p.a.ce station of a super Great World. After you show your ident.i.ty cards, you can board the s.p.a.ceship heading to the Cang Lang Continent.”
