My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 23 I'm Not Your White Moonlight

Yi An nodded and replied: "It was hard to say before, but it is certain now."

Xu Mo was stunned.

Yi An continued, "I wonder if you, Junior Brother, have heard of the old man's past?"

Xu Mo nodded and said truthfully: "I've heard some."

The past of Elder Ouyang that Yi An mentioned should be referring to the incident a thousand years ago when the demons invaded and everyone around Elder Ouyang was sacrificed, leaving only one grandson.

The only surviving grandson was Yi An's father.

But Xu Mo had never seen it, nor had he heard Elder Ouyang and Yi An mention it.

Yi An said: "Although the old man has never expressed it, I understand him.

He must have always wanted to go to the battlefield."

"Then why..." Xu Mo asked in confusion.

Yi An sighed, "Because the old man is a spiritual plant master.

His responsibility is first to cultivate magical rice and various magical medicines and plants that can feed the people of the world.

Let the ancient world have no worries about logistics.

Even if he didn't do that, no one would say anything about him if he went to war directly.

But the old man is a particularly stubborn person.

This is what he wanted to do himself.

He must complete this task before he can go to the Heavenly Road to fight with peace of mind."

Yi An stared straight at Xu Mo and said with a complicated tone:
“Originally, I was not optimistic about the old man, even though he was a master of spiritual plants.

However, the cultivation of spiritual rice has been developed by countless spiritual plant masters from generation to generation over endless years.

It embodies the hard work and wisdom of countless spiritual plant masters.

It has already reached its peak.

No matter how powerful the old man is, it will be difficult for him to make any breakthroughs.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for him to have the opportunity to embark on the road to heaven.

But it's different now.

Now he has your help, Junior Brother."

"Me?" Xu Mo pointed at himself, his eyes wide open and he spoke in disbelief.

Yi An nodded and said as a matter of course:
"Yes, that's right."

Xu Mo shouted at the top of his voice: "Senior Brother, you are kidding me."

Yi An shook his head, his face calm, "No, isn't this the way it is?

Junior Brother, you are so talented, isn't it only a matter of time before you can cultivate high-yield spiritual rice?"

He said it as a matter of course, and the expression on his face seemed to be asking, "Junior brother, why are you so excited? Isn't this just stating the facts?"
Xu Mo really didn't know what to say.

Before, he had thought that if he used hybrid rice technology, perhaps he could really do it.

But over the years, after long-term research on grafting experiments with Elder Ouyang.

He really didn't have the confidence to say that he could definitely do it.

Because spiritual plants are really different from ordinary plants.

The difference between spiritual rice and ordinary rice is even greater.

Although there has been no experiment yet, he really doesn't have much confidence.

Of course, this doesn't mean he will give up this experiment.

But Yi An's matter-of-fact tone made him feel like he was popping champagne at halftime.

As a person, we should seek truth from facts.

So he asked in a somewhat helpless tone:
"Brother, you mean that what Elder Ouyang and countless spiritual plant masters over the endless years have been unable to do, I can do, right?"

Yi An nodded affirmatively and replied calmly:

"Of course, if it were you, Junior Brother, you would definitely be able to do it."

Xu Mo looked at Yi An in confusion.

This made him a little flattered.

No.

Brother, what on earth are you imagining?

Why do I feel like I'm a little too perfect in your eyes?
Isn't this the trick I used to take advantage of you?
How come a boomerang suddenly hit me on the head?

I'm just your junior apprentice, not the perfect girl in your mind! Can you please stop imagining me as such a perfect girl?
Let’s not talk about whether hybrid rice can work in this world.

Even if it works, Xu Mo doesn't plan to do it under this pseudonym.

His experiment of grafting this pseudonym with Elder Ouyang is almost successful.

He is the pioneer of grafting theory in this world, so naturally he must delve deeply into the art of grafting.

As long as he continues to operate under this identity, this alias will be enough to accumulate enough connections and resources for new aliases in the future.

In this way, the mission of this vest is accomplished.

If hybrid rice technology is brought out again, it would seem a bit redundant and high-profile.

It’s too late.

So he told Yi An with certainty: "Senior brother, you think too highly of me. I will never be able to do this."

However, Yi An shook his head firmly, as if to say, I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to know what you think, I want to know what I think.

He smiled and said to Xu Mo: "Junior brother, there is no need to be modest. I firmly believe that you can do it.

As for the final answer, let time tell."

Xu Mo was helpless. Why couldn't he explain it? Does this mean that you know me better than I do?
Yi An ignored Xu Mo's reaction.

After he finished speaking, he solemnly made a Dao seal towards Xu Mo and slowly spoke:
“Anyway, this trip is to say goodbye to my junior brother.

Many people used to say that I was a playboy who relied on old men.

Although I have some talent, I am destined not to achieve anything great in my life, and I think so too.

Because I don’t have any goals.

That's why when I heard about your great-grandfather, Junior Brother Xu Qing, I admired and envied him so much.

It’s not just because of Junior Brother Xu Qing’s firm determination to seek the truth.

Moreover, he has a goal that keeps him going forward unwaveringly.

Now I have finally found my purpose.”

He smiled carefreely and waved to Xu Mo.
"I won't go to the old man's place, please tell him.

Junior brother, take care of yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Xu Mo's response.

Seeing this, Xu Mo bowed to Yi An's back and silently offered his blessings to him in his heart.

Then, with mixed feelings, he returned to Elder Ouyang.

He told Elder Ouyang about Yi An's situation.

Elder Ouyang was silent for a moment after hearing this, then nodded calmly and said, "Okay, let him be."

So he never mentioned the matter again.

Afterwards, he told Xu Mo about the grafting experiment.

"Before we officially begin the third-grade spiritual plant grafting experiment, we need to find another person."

Xu Mo was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously:

"Why?"

Elder Ouyang glanced at him and said, "If this experiment is successful, it will prove the feasibility of the grafting method.

Then you are a spiritual plant master who has created a new theory."

“Just because of your age, identity and status, it’s inevitable that you’ll attract criticism.

Especially since this experiment was conducted with me, they will think that it is my credit and ignore you.

Although I never care about these things, you are different, you are still young.

To avoid trouble.

So you need someone who can stand up for you.”

Xu Mo was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Elder Ouyang would actually consider these things.

You know, he usually gives people the impression of being a conservative person.

Obviously, just as he said, he did this entirely for his own reasons.

He was deeply moved and bowed to Elder Ouyang, saying, "Actually, I don't really care about these things."

Elder Ouyang shook his head firmly, "I will make the decision on this matter."

Xu Mo was somewhat helpless and had to let Elder Ouyang make his arrangements.

At the same time, he was curious about what kind of person Elder Ouyang had asked to stand up for him.
