Chapter 521: Chapter 364: How to Plant a Life Divine Tree in the Yang Family? _2

Take the recently advanced to the Golden Core Stage’s Li Yao, for example, he had become a prominent Great Cultivator across the Spirit Miao Continent.

The Heavenly Spirit Root is indeed a rarity among the rare, how many people wanted to make connections with him?

At the Li Family’s gates, everyday a group of Immortal Clan Envoys lined up to offer gifts, hoping to form good bonds.

If he doesn’t fall, he’ll be a future big shot at the Nascent Soul Stage!

An absolute leader in the Spirit Miao Continent!

“So where did it go wrong? Could it be because when the Life Divine Tree collapsed, the Human Clan’s Qi Fortune also fell?”

It was tough not to make this connection for Yang Genshuo.

Otherwise, it’d make no sense.

“Speaking of which, when this tree fell, won’t you plant another one? How troublesome can it be? If this thing grows successful, the profits would be massive! I can’t even imagine. If I had such a tree, those [Wisdom Fruits], I’d eat one and toss one!”

Just thinking about all those [Wisdom Fruits] from that big tree being consumed by that snooty little Fire Dragon with a long and ridiculous name made Yang Genshuo tear up from the corners of his mouth!

Thinking this way, Yang Genshuo suddenly had an epiphany!

(Old man, finger, eureka.jpg)

“Hey!”

“Could it be possible that my Yang Family could also plant one?”

That [Life Divine Seed] definitely wouldn’t work, as Yang Genshuo read that it wasn’t written to be plantable, which means it isn’t a real seed.

On various kinds of Spiritual Medicine materials, anything that can be sown would have it indicated.

And even if it were possible, the Yang Family couldn’t get their hands on [Life Divine Seed], since that would only be produced after more than 200 years when the next batch of [Wisdom Fruits] got ready.

That would be too late, the Yang Family would have missed too many opportunities by then.

“No, I’ve got to come up with a way to plant one… If methods in the Immortal Cultivation World don’t work, I’ll use modern techniques!”

“Cheng Bo!”

Yang Genshuo called Cheng Bo and invited him over.

Soon, Cheng Bo’s driver delivered him to Jiuhua Mountain Resort.

“Mr. Cheng, please~”

The driver professionally opened the door, showing full pomp.

After getting out, Cheng Bo looked at the somewhat smiling Yang Genshuo and felt like he was showing off in front of an acquaintance.

He scratched his head, “Cough cough… I said no need, but my secretary insisted on getting one…”

“Nice, you even got a secretary onboard, Brother Bo’s got skills.”

“Ah this… without a secretary I wouldn’t know how to manage such a big pharmaceutical company.”

“Being the boss is different, I can’t feel the vibe of a big company in these remote mountains.”

“Brother Genshuo, you can’t say that… I work for you…”

Cheng Bo looked slightly aggrieved.

Yang Genshuo laughed heartily.

“Hahaha~ Alright, alright, just kidding. If you make money and don’t show off, what’s the point? Show off! Show off fiercely! Let those who ridiculed you back at the time see who the real big shot is!”

Cheng Bo considered for a moment and then looked troubled.

“But… no one ridiculed me back then. I have always been the top of our major, had a direct Ph.D. admission, and felt respected while I taught. But you, having had several business failures had many people laughing at you, so you probably have a bigger need to show off, right?”

Yang Genshuo: “… Brother Bo, that’s quite hurtful.”

“Lies don’t hurt people, Genshuo.” Cheng Bo said sincerely.

“Actually, it seems like it’s always been Deng Yasheng who’s been ridiculed, he probably has more need for it.”

Tian Zhe came over and gave Cheng Bo a friendly bump.

“Oh, Deng Yasheng, it’s been so long since I last contacted him. I still clearly remember his speech from the school opening, 12 years ago!”

With Cheng Bo mentioning this, both Yang Genshuo and Tian Zhe laughed.

“Let me imitate him… Guys~ You wouldn’t believe it, but during the summer holidays, I used the pocket money from my family to open 10 bubble tea shops in the county. Guess how much I made? 180k W!”

Tian Zhe went straight into impersonation.

“Then his dad came up with a snakeskin bag, saying he forgot to bring the preserved vegetables he meant to bring… Hahahaha~”

Both Cheng Bo and Yang Genshuo immediately burst into laughter.

“What Yasheng is best at doing is… showing off without any basis, I can’t imagine how he would do it if he really had the strength.”

The three of them giggled for a good while.

Although they all teased him, Deng Yasheng was not a bad guy; he just loved to show off. Their dorm performances were classic episodes, and when the three graduated, what they missed the most was Deng Yasheng.

They felt it would be hard to have another four years that were as joyful as those.

“Hehe, let’s not talk about this anymore. Cheng Bo has something important to discuss with you!”

“Oh? Spill the beans!”

Tian Zhe watched eagerly.

“Go practice your martial arts! We’re discussing something for cultured people.”

“I am very cultured. Do you know how many ways there are to write the character for ‘fennel’ in fennel beans?”

“Yang Family Sword!”

Woosh!

With an opening move, Yang Genshuo had Tian Zhe scampering up a tree.

Cheng Bo watched, dumbfounded.

“What? Genshuo, Tian Zhe… this… suddenly… just like that?”

He knew Tian Zhe was learning martial arts from Yang Genshuo but hadn’t expected him to start roof-running!

This was more martial arts-like than in the movies!

“Genshuo! Teach me!”

“Forget it, your brain still has major uses, no need to learn this. Make sure you take the elixir I gave you on time, it keeps the body healthy and the mind sharp.”

“True, lately I feel like my IQ has improved…”

As a close friend, Cheng Bo naturally also received care from Yang Genshuo, though not in martial arts, but he was still taking elixirs, looking forward to reaching the master level someday.

With physical fitness improved, his brain worked faster, which was scientifically backed.

“Let’s get to the point, today I want to discuss a problem with you.”

“Go ahead.”

Cheng Bo looked serious.

“Suppose there is a tree in front of us, all its fruits have been picked, and it’s not yet the fruiting season, it’s just a tree. Do we have a way to grow an identical one somewhere else?”

The fruits and other products on that Divine Tree had been picked clean by those pesky Dragon Clan members, leaving just a bare tree. They had to think of another method to deal with it.

Cheng Bo quickly offered a solution.

“This isn’t difficult, I have two simple methods we can experiment with, and I don’t even need to do it myself.”

“Spill the beans!”

“The first, also the simplest, is the Cutting Method. We cut a segment from the tree with several nodes, stick it directly into moist, suitable soil, and let it naturally root and then grow into a new individual.”

“Oh~ I seem to remember this from a test before.”

Not to boast or belittle, but Yang Genshuo had never really listened during classes. He was always focused on part-time jobs and entrepreneurship. Graduation was all smooth sailing due to social maneuvers; he absorbed little actual knowledge.

So many fundamental professional concepts needed Cheng Bo’s explanations, which Cheng Bo was already used to.

“Yes, we actually had an exam on the Cutting Method in our sophomore year, but this method only works for plants that root easily. I don’t know what kind of tree yours is, but if possible, you can try with several fresh cuttings.”

“Hmm… What else?”

“The second method is grafting. We take a budded branch from the tree whose traits you wish to preserve, choose a rootstock that adapts well to the environment, cut both pieces, then bind them together and let the plant grow and heal into one, eventually flowering and fruiting. This suits most plants, and not only preserves the quality of the original but also allows for improvement in the plant’s resistance to adversity, growth speed, and other traits by selecting different rootstocks, a commonly used technique.”

“Oh, that makes sense…”

Yang Genshuo himself couldn’t remember, but once Cheng Bo mentioned it, details started coming back to him.

“Generally, these two methods can solve 90% of problems. Give them a try, if they don’t work, we’ll have to resort to the heavy technologies and brutal methods of our lab.”

“Alright, I’ll let you know the results tomorrow.”

Cheng Bo: “Tomorrow???”

Seriously, who sees results from grafting within a day?

Crazy person!

Cursing under his breath, Cheng Bo walked away, while Yang Genshuo hurriedly assigned the task.

Yang Fu was still occupied with cultivation, but Yang Qiangjin finally had some free time.

She just managed to hatch that [Phoenix Egg]!
