Chapter 124 This rapeseed seems a bit off.
Chaos Spirit - Earth? Dragon Blood Treasure Vegetable Seeds?
Lin Fan listened to the system's notification and muttered to himself.
Why are all the things this system is giving out lately related to farming?
I just gave them a copy of "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica" a few days ago, and now they've given them soil and seeds directly.
It seems they're determined to make me develop a pastoral lifestyle in my retirement.
But it's all good. The vegetable garden in my yard was just turned over by those mercenaries with Uru steel hoes, and I was wondering what to plant.
Now, both the seeds and the soil are ready.
"Qingxue." Lin Fan put down the newspaper in his hand and called out to Fang Qingxue, who was standing beside him.
"Sir, what are your orders?" Fang Qingxue immediately stepped forward and bowed slightly.
Lin Fan pointed to the newly cultivated vegetable patch in the corner of the yard: "Go and tidy up that plot of land for me. There are some things to plant later."
"Yes, sir." Fang Qingxue responded immediately without the slightest hesitation.
Although she had never even touched a hoe before, let alone farmed, her husband's orders were now the highest command.
She walked to the corner of the wall, looked at the row of neatly arranged, brand-new farm tools that gleamed with a dark luster, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up a shovel that looked a little smaller.
The moment her hand touched the shovel, a surge of powerful and pure energy flowed into her body through the handle, giving her a jolt.
Such powerful energy!
She was shocked. This seemingly ordinary shovel was actually a magical artifact.
She tried to infuse her Xuanbing True Qi into it, and instantly a thin layer of frost covered the shovel head, from which an astonishing sharpness emanated.
Fang Qingxue walked to the edge of the vegetable garden and, imitating the gardeners from before, dug down with a shovel.
"Pfft!"
It didn't feel as hard as I had imagined; it felt like digging into a soft cake.
She only used a fraction of her strength, yet she managed to dig a hole half a meter deep!
Fang Qingxue stared blankly at the shovel in her hand, then at the soft earth.
She now finally understood why all the "employees" in this courtyard were so passionately devoted to "labor".
Using such a magical tool for work—this isn't labor at all! It's clearly a blissful form of spiritual practice!
Just as Fang Qingxue was engrossed in the fun of "cultivation", Lin Fan had already taken out the bag of "chaotic spirit soil" and the packet of "dragon blood treasure vegetable seeds" through the system space.
The bag didn't look very big; it resembled an ordinary flour bag. On it, in crooked handwriting, were the words "Wonton Brand, Satisfaction Guaranteed."
The packet of seeds was a small brocade pouch, warm to the touch, and seemed to contain something alive moving inside.
Lin Fan casually placed the two items on the stone table.
"Qingxue, the ground is almost ready, come over here for a moment."
"Yes, sir!"
Fang Qingxue put down the shovel and walked over quickly. When her gaze fell on the bag of soil and the packet of seeds, her pupils contracted sharply.
With her current level of attainment after her breakthrough, she could clearly sense the terrifying energy contained within that seemingly ordinary bag of soil!
That is not spiritual energy, nor primordial energy, but a more fundamental and ancient kind of chaotic energy, as if it existed before the creation of heaven and earth!
This tiny bag contains more energy than all the spiritual energy on Earth combined!
And that packet of seeds...
She only glanced at it, but she felt her soul tremble!
She seemed to see ancient dragons roaring in the blood-red starry river. Their domineering and age-old dragon might almost made her kneel down on the spot!
"Sir...this...this is..." Fang Qingxue's voice trembled.
"Oh, this?" Lin Fan pointed to the bag of soil. "It's nutrient soil a friend gave me. He said it's especially good for growing vegetables."
He then pointed to the packet of seeds: "These are rapeseed seeds, what's it called... Dragon's Blood Treasure Vegetable. Judging from the name, it should be quite nutritious. Take these and have those gardeners plant them in the ground for me."
A friend gave me some potting soil?
The vegetables grow exceptionally well?
Fang Qingxue's lips twitched as she listened.
Sir, you call this nutrient soil? This is clearly chaotic divine soil capable of nurturing a world!
And these rapeseed seeds... what kind of precious vegetable is this? This is clearly dragon crystal formed from the essence of a divine dragon! Can what you grow from it even be vegetables? You'd probably grow a divine dragon out of nothing!
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lin Fan raised an eyebrow when he saw that she hadn't moved for a while.
"No...no problem, sir!" Fang Qingxue snapped back to reality.
She carefully, using all her strength, lifted the bag of "nutrient soil".
The bag didn't look big, but it felt as heavy as a star when she held it! She felt like she wasn't holding a bag of soil, but an entire universe!
She held the brocade pouch in her hands with great care, feeling as if she were holding the lives of countless dragons.
"Go ahead, tell them to be careful when they plant them, don't let them ruin the seeds." Lin Fan waved his hand, then lay back in his chair, pondering to himself.
Dragon's Blood Treasure Vegetable, judging from the name, it should be red, right?
Should I stir-fry it plain or with minced garlic? Or, it would probably be good in a hot pot too.
Fang Qingxue presented the two "divine objects" to the head gardener with a feeling of both utmost reverence and terror.
The former kings of mercenaries all knelt down with a thud the moment they saw those two items.
Although they couldn't discern the origin of the Chaotic Spiritual Soil, they could sense the terrifying dragon's might emanating from the brocade pouch, a power that made their very blood tremble!
"This...this is...a dragon! It's the aura of a real dragon!" The head gardener, a tough guy who had once torn apart a tank with his bare hands, was now trembling with excitement, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Sir...Sir actually wants us...to plant the dragon ourselves?!"
"What trust this is! What an honor this is!"
A group of burly men were crying their eyes out.
Fang Qingxue, standing to the side, was at a loss for what expression to wear.
She felt that, apart from her husband, there was probably no normal person in this courtyard.
After a solemn "worship" ceremony, the gardeners carefully spread the chaotic spiritual soil into the vegetable garden.
Then, the head gardener personally planted each of the ruby-like Dragon's Blood Treasure Vegetable seeds into the soil.
The moment the last seed was planted.
"Buzz—"
The entire vegetable garden suddenly trembled.
A faint reddish glow, visible to the naked eye, emanated from the earth and enveloped the entire vegetable garden.
A strange aroma filled the air, a mixture of earthy fragrance and a faint smell of blood.
In the alley, Grandpa Zhang, who was playing chess, suddenly sniffed.
"Hey, whose stew is that? It smells so good!"
