Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 25 Why do apples fall from trees?

Looking at Zuo He's expression that looked like he was about to cry, even though Shuang Lingxuan was reluctant to believe this outrageous thing, he understood that it was true.

But because of this, his head felt a little dizzy and he couldn't understand anything.

"What's going on? How could my sister be deceived so easily... Was she bewitched by a spell? But that doesn't make sense. My sister has the Ice Soul Jade on her, so ordinary bewitching spells can't do anything to her. And if that Zhong Cang really bewitched my sister, he wouldn't just ask for some silver..."

He was puzzled, but Shuang Lingxuan didn't show it on his face. He just said to Zuo He quietly, "I know what you said. This matter is not your fault. Go down."

"Thank you, eldest son."

After Zuo He left, Shuang Lingxuan, feeling uneasy, put down his work and went to find his sister.

At this moment, in order to complete the great cause of herself and Zhong Cang, Shuang Lingxue was taking out all her spirit stones and silver money, calculating whether the silver money was enough.

It was in this situation that Shuang Lingxuan knocked on the door and came in, and saw a table full of silver, money and spirit stones.

At this point, Shuang Lingxuan knew that everything Zuo He had just said was true.

Just when he understood everything and was racking his brains over how to talk about this matter, Shuang Lingxue spoke first.

"Brother, have you learned from Zuo He about my cooperation with Mr. Zhong Cang?"

The word "Mr." made Shuang Lingxuan's pupils shrink. He knew his sister's personality very well. Therefore, he knew that his sister rarely called others by the wrong names.

Calling him "Sir" instead of "Senior Brother" or "Junior Brother" shows that his sister admires the young man named Zhong Cang very much.

While thinking, Shuang Lingxuan said casually: "I do know that my sister thinks highly of Zhong Cang?"

"Yes." After nodding in agreement without the slightest hesitation, Shuang Lingxue said quietly, "Mr. Zhong is a man of profound learning and a true sage. Meeting him is an honor not only for Lingxue but also for all the people in the world."

After she finished speaking, she looked at her brother's face, which was filled with astonishment due to her admiration. A sly smile appeared on the corner of Shuang Lingxue's mouth: "Hehe, brother, do you know how high the sky is, how thick the earth is, and how far away the sun is from us?"

"Also, do you know why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west? Why do we have four seasons in the world?"

"Do you know why apples fall from trees when they are ripe?"

The series of questions made Shuang Lingxuan a little confused.

However, he soon thought of something and said with a strange look on his face, "Does Zhong Cang know everything you said?"

"Mr. Zhong said he didn't know the full principles, but he had a rough understanding of them... For example, he calculated the distance of the sun from us with me in his room at Baoyuxuan."

During the conversation in the restaurant, in order to please Shuang Lingxue and obtain her investment, Zhong Cang racked his brains and told her some knowledge from his previous life, which aroused the latter's curiosity.

Now it seems that he is doing pretty well.

And Shuang Lingxuan... was also somewhat impressed by Zhong Cang.

"So, you're planning to invest in Zhong Cang because he's knowledgeable?"

This sentence made Shuang Lingxue shake her head with a bit of disappointment: "There are reasons in this regard, but there are more than that."

With a hint of admiration and hope in her eyes, Shuang Lingxue clasped her hands together as if praying and said quietly:

"Mr. Zhong said he wanted to cultivate cold-resistant, high-yielding grains for ordinary people to grow, so that all people in the world can be prosperous and healthy."

"impossible!"

Shuang Lingxuan subconsciously retorted to the words that were so out of touch with reality. However, he was still young, and his thoughts were not bound by constraints. After the subconscious retort, he frowned and thought.

After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "If Zhong Cang is really as knowledgeable as you say, he does have a chance, but I'm afraid he's a liar."

This made Shuang Lingxue laugh.

"Given Mr. Zhong's knowledge and demeanor, he wouldn't be a liar... Besides, if it's just some silver and spirit stones, then so what if he was cheated?"

After learning from Shuang Lingxue everything Zhong Cang needed, Shuang Lingxuan nodded and said, "You're right, he really doesn't want much... Do you need me to support you with some money and manpower?"

"No, I want to do this myself."

Such an answer made Shuang Lingxuan stunned for a moment, but soon he smiled with relief:
"Sister, you've grown up now. Fine, since you want it, then it's as you wish... In the name of the head of the family, I will leave this matter entirely to you."

……

In the mansion in Snow Lake City, the Shuang family siblings were talking.

After some struggles at Xuehu Taoist Temple and Huangni Village, Zhong Cang, who had obtained the soul-hosting moss, couldn't help but implement his plan ahead of time.

Is there not enough spiritual land for the spirit moss to grow and reproduce?
This is not a problem. As Taoist children of the Lingzhifu Academy, Zhong Cang and his friends can rent an acre of spiritual land from the academy.

In the evening, he found the dean Zhou Sheng and rented... three acres of land. In order to give the parasitic moss enough space to grow, he also brought Li Yan and Yan Yanyan over.

"Are you sure you want to rent the land now? Let me make it clear first, the spiritual land needs to be nurtured. After six months, I can use the spiritual spring to care for you for a while. If you rent it now, the future state of the spiritual land will be up to you. Also, if you destroy the spiritual land, you will be punished."

Dean Zhou Sheng's reminder was well-intentioned, which made Zhong Cang sincerely grateful, but in the end, he did not change his mind.

"Thank you for the reminder, Dean, but I still want to rent three acres of spiritual land."

"..." After a moment of silence, Zhou Sheng turned and walked towards the village: "Since you insist on doing this, then come with me to complete the formalities."

Thanks to the personal help of branch director Zhou Sheng, the spiritual land was soon rented by Zhong Cang.

After obtaining the sacred land, Li Yan and Yan Yanyan were a little excited and a little nervous. As for Zhong Cang, he was thinking about how to grow moss.

"Three acres of land is enough for now. Let me think about it, what kind of environment does moss need to reproduce on a large scale?"

Thanks to his good memory after the improvement of his soul, Zhong Cang actually thought of the growth environment of moss.

"The first thing is light. Mosses prefer diffused light, so they should be kept away from direct sunlight."

"The other factor is moisture. Warm or humid places are more suitable for moss growth."

"Then there's the soil. Leaf mold and peat soil are rich in organic matter, which can provide the necessary nutrients for moss growth. They are also conducive to moss rooting and water penetration..."

While thinking, Zhong Cang waved his hand and called many Taoist children over, then asked them to water his fields, find objects to block the sunlight, and dig leaf mold and peat soil rich in organic matter.

While they were busy, Zhong Cang was not idle either.

While communicating with his spirit-hosting moss in the language of plants, asking it whether the environment it lived in was comfortable, he used the power of nature and the magic power of spring to activate the spell - plant growth, allowing his spirit-hosting moss to grow and reproduce rapidly.

"Wow..."
