With the soil and water ready, Dugu Muyou returned to the Dan Cultivation Room, and the servants looked at each other in speechless despair in the backyard.
Dugu Muyou found a place to sit down, closed her eyes, and turned her consciousness into a shadow that looked exactly like her, entering the Yuehua Diamond. It was the first time that Dugu Muyou observed this place carefully, and there was nothing everywhere.
Dugu Muyou felt the spiritual qi around her, like the air outside. As long as she was willing, she could condense them into various forms.
After looking around for a while, she got the magical Essence and other things stored here with her thoughts. Everything stayed in Yuehua Diamond in an orderly manner as if there had been a living person who could understand her. Whatever she wanted, that thing would automatically come to her.
Dugu Muyou found the soil and water she had just deposited, made the soil into a small piece of land, and got five more low-level herbs, Tianying Herb. Tianying Herb had its root and was well preserved. The branches and leaves were all green as if they had just been dug out of the mud. Using low-level herbs could avoid ruining those good materials if she failed.
Dugu Muyou planted the five Tianying Herbs in the ground, and then hooked her fingers toward the water tank. The water droplets formed a thin line in the air and evenly sprinkled them on the roots of the five Tianying Herbs. She clapped hands after everything was done.
Tianying Herb, which was beneficial to cultivators, was very different from ordinary herbs. What it needed to grow was spiritual qi. It could absorb spiritual qi from water, soil and air for its growth.
Dugu Muyou squatted on the side and looked at it for a while. She found that the five Tianying Herbs had no significant change. This was expected. Dugu Muyou was about to get out of the Yuehua Diamond and came next time after a while. Before leaving, she remembered one more thing.
"Blood Fox," Dugu Muyou called.
Blood Fox, who was staying outside, heard the call and entered the inside of Yuehua Diamond. Its two front paws waved a few times, and a large cloud-like object was weaved with the surrounding spiritual qi. Blood Fox jumped up, and the cloud swayed at the same time.
Stretching comfortably, Blood Fox said impatiently, "What's up? Don't call me if everything is okay. If you have chicken legs, I may change my mind."
Dugu Muyou pointed to the Tianying Herbs on the small piece of ground and said, "Next few weeks, water them every day. Not too much or too little. Loosen the soil when you have time."
"Seriously?" Blood Fox sprang up from the clouds. "How dare you let me do this farm work?"
Blood Fox glanced at the few low-level Tianying Herbs that it could not recognize and said with contempt, "They are all low-level Tianying Herbs. I even dislike them! There is no way!"
"Really?" Dugu Muyou looked at Blood Fox with menacing eyes.
"No. I say no! Maybe I will smash them with one foot!"
Dugu Muyou pondered for a moment, "If you take good care of them, I will buy you roast chicken. One plate a day."
Blood Fox's ears stood up sharply, like a rabbit. Its paws scratched a few times, and the cloud floated in front of Dugu Muyou. Blood Fox looked at Dugu Muyou with its shining eyes. It stretched out the right front paw and said, "It's done. Don't go back on your word."
Did it want a pinkie swear?
Dugu Muyou glanced at the fox paw, stretched out her hand and shook with it. Blood Fox rolled excitedly, lying on the edge of the cloud, popping up its head and staring at the five Tianying Herbs.
What a shameless fox that it betrayed itself for roast chicken.
Dugu Muyou thought in her mind. Blood Fox suddenly said, "This herb is a bit wilted, and it seems to be sick. If you continue to plant it, it will only gradually wither. Why don't you repair it?"
"Which one?" Dugu Muyou leaned forward and looked at the second herb that Blood Fox was referring to. "Well, can this be repaired, too?"
Blood Fox gave her a supercilious look and said with contempt, "Of course. Since people can be repaired by you, why can't these herbs? Do it quickly! Or my roast chicken will be gone."
Dugu Muyou tried it suspiciously. The dots of gold and silver light gathered around the herb and penetrated into it little by little. She immediately realized that this was much easier than treating Dugu Ziteng. Would it be easier because it was a plant?
After a while, Dugu Muyou felt that it was almost done, so she scattered the light spots for repairing, exposing the herb inside. Its leaves were green as if it had just rained. This herb looked particularly fresh. It was much more energetic than the next few herbs.
Blood Fox nodded with satisfaction, but felt uneasy for the next moment, so it glanced at the other four plants and said, "Repair them, too, so that they can grow faster."
Dugu Muyou had this plan, but when she was about to do it, she suddenly felt that she got the keywords. She stopped abruptly.
"Grow Faster?"
Dugu Muyou murmured and glanced at the herbs with significance.
A piece of gold and silver intertwined light rolled towards another Tianying Herb. Dugu Muyou tried to repair two Tianying Herbs at the same time but found it impossible.
After repairing the herb in her hand, Dugu Muyou did not stop and continued to deliver energy for the herb, but the herb in light did not change anymore. Dugu Muyou was disappointed. When she was about to stop, she saw a small green bud grow from the top.
"This..." Blood Fox saw it, too. It stopped being lazy, stood up with a shock and urged, "Don't stop. Continue."
Dugu Muyou continued to deliver the repair light, and the small buds of the Tianying Herb gradually grew leaves. Its stems elongated, and more buds and leaves emerged. The Tianying Herb was only half a foot tall when it was planted. When it matured, it could grow to a foot tall. In such a short time, it grew three inches tall.
She and the fox stared at the Tianying Herb quietly. Everything was weirdly silent. As time passed, the Tianying Herb grew to a foot high in front of them. After that, it stopped growing. Several strange-shaped leaves on its top gradually turned pink, and it completely stopped changing.
Dugu Muyou stopped and stared blankly at the herb without any movement.
The repairing power of Yuehua Diamond could make plants grow up quickly. Dugu Muyou felt the spiritual around her and found that several Pills of Qi-Enriching were engulfed by Yuehua Diamond.
Blood Fox returned to its senses and rolled its eyes. It said casually, "Go on. There are four more herbs."
Dugu Muyou glanced at it with a smile. "No. The result is already there, so there is no need to continue trying."
Blood Fox jumped three feet high and protested, "What about my roast chicken!"
"Roast chicken will be given to you later. Be quiet."
Dugu Muyou touched Blood Fox's head a few times. Although Blood Fox was dissatisfied with this pet-like action, it finally gave in because of the promised roast chicken.
Dugu Muyou plucked the five Tianying Herbs and planted the Black Lotus with a Green Core that she bought in Zhengnan Spiritual Material Shop last time. She repaired it like what she did just now. This time she spent a little longer time than before and consumed more spiritual qi, but it was still much easier compared to the treatment for Dugu Ziteng.
Under the influence of Dugu Muyou, the Black Lotus with a Green Core gave birth to two other strains of Black Lotus. Dugu Muyou repaired these two little Black Lotuses again, and the same situation happened again. When she stopped, there were seven mature Black Lotuses with a Green Core in her hand.
Dugu Muyou checked herself and didn't feel too tired. It lasted the duration of a burning joss stick, but Pill of Qi-Enriching was much less. After summarizing the consumption and output, Dugu Muyou was very satisfied. It seemed that she could make some rare materials in this way in the future.
Then she tried other tests and found that as long as she owned a part of an herb, she could give birth to the whole herb. At the same time, it could multiply.
Dugu Muyou hastened the growth of all the precious herbs she had. She stopped when she felt a little exhausted. Coming out of the Yuehua Diamond, Dugu Muyou ordered to buy roast chicken for Blood Fox.
"Three plates of chicken," Dugu Muyou told the maid because this was a reward for it.
While Dugu Muyou was busy promoting the growth of herbs, Mr. Fu returned to the Royal Palace with the rejected invitation letter and met the Fifth Prince.
Mr. Fu said with a woeful look, "Miss Muyou said that she didn't have time to enjoy the flowers, so she stuffed this invitation back. It's my fault! I did not do it well, so Miss Muyou could not accept the invitation. Please punish me, Your Highness."
The Fifth Prince Ji Chengyu looked at the invitation letter on the table and waved his hand to signal Mr. Fu to leave. When only he left in the room, his face immediately became cloudy. Nobody in the palace had seen his current expression. The Fifth Prince, who had good reputations such as gentleness and a nice person, now had a face that wanted to eat people.
After a while, Ji Chengyu waved his hand and the invitation letter turned into fly ash before his eyes.
"How dare you be so arrogant! How dare you refuse my invitation letter!"
Ji Chengyu slapped his palm on the table, and his face showed suppressed anger. He closed his eyes as if he had been holding down something. It took a while before he opened his eyes. In such a short time, the anger in his eyes was disappeared, and only coldness was left.
"Since you are useful, you can be arrogant for a while."
The Fifth Prince's icy voice rang in the room, and the air seemed to be colder than before.
There was a knock on the door, and a man's voice said, "Your Highness, something to report."
"Come in."
All emotions were hidden, and the Fifth Prince changed back to the usual him, sitting at the desk and waiting to meet his subordinates.
In the East Market, five people including Dugu Xiuping, Dugu Deyuan and Dugu Qi met at an intersection.
Dugu Xiuping asked, "I finish at the earliest. When I came here, I was the only one here. How are you guys?"
Dugu Xiaotong raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile on his face, "Of course it is done, otherwise there is no face to see the boss. See! They are all in this storage bag. It's the first time for the boss to leave tasks to us. She trusts us so much, so we can't let her down."
Dugu Xiaotong was outgoing, but the bad things happened one after another in recent days, which made him frown. But now, Dugu Xiaotong felt that there was nothing to worry about under Dugu Muyou's help.
The other three also reported their progress, and all completed the tasks assigned to them.
Dugu Qi tucked her hair behind her ears and said, "Fortunately, we divided the material list into five parts so that we can successfully complete the task. Otherwise, it takes lots of time for the servants in the shop to find the materials and weigh them. These ordinary materials consumed us long time, let alone those rare materials. If we didn't divide it, I'm afraid we would haven't even bought half of it up to now."
"That's right. It's my idea." Dugu Xiaotong smiled cheerfully and beckoned. "Hurry up! Let's go back and ask the boss for credit."
