Lao Ping and Lao Lu took great pains to prepare the house for Yuan Congqian.

A Victorian modern-style villa. The letter placed at the door detailed which button to press to have a peasant woman deliver meals and how to connect to the signal base station in Dahuang City. They just hoped that he would cause less harm to others.

Putting aside the fact that it was out of touch with reality, his house in Dahuang City was indeed more comfortable to live in than Yuan Mansion in the capital.

Qiu Fengshu ran to the bathroom to change clothes and take a shower, while Yuan Congqian looked at the Kongming lock on the ground alone.

He had a strange feeling, as if his connection with the deep soil of the wilderness had been inexplicably severed. It was as if a familiar woman had gently taken away Yuan Congqian's hand that was clasped with the earth.

Qixing Longyuan didn't react, maybe it wasn't related to the evil spirit?

……

The moon sets and the stars sink, and the night passes in a flash.

The Shennong Temple Fair in Dahuang City started very early.

In the bustling towns, every household hung up homemade red lanterns, the air was filled with the aroma of a good harvest, and the grain piles were taller than an adult. Accompanied by the cheerful sound of drums and gongs, the people of Dahuang City performed a community drama in front of the Shennong Temple, and the performance had already reached the stage of "Fighting for the Four Seasons".

However, compared to the community drama that was being performed, the residents of Dahuang City were more concerned about another thing.

They gathered around a notice board in the center of town, discussing a notice.

"When did our Great Wasteland City have a new township head? When did it happen? How come I didn't know about it? And how come he brought back a batch of the most advanced and precious crops?"

"This crop looks too fake. How can it survive in a land with 60% Originium contamination? Is it the soil or the Originium ore? Could it be that Old Apple has gone mad and is here to tease us farmers?"

"It must be fake! If there is such a thing, is it our turn to show it to us?"

"But he did say that he would show it to us at the Shennong Festival. We would see it with our own eyes then. How could he fool us? I guess he would forcefully transplant the good seedlings into the soil and then show it to us for fun..."

Even the most honest farmers know the harm that natural disasters and Originium can do to agriculture.

It seemed that no one believed in the authenticity of the announcement. They just used it as a topic of conversation after dinner, causing this absurd and bizarre notice to spread more and more widely in the towns and villages of Dahuang, to the point where even children could clap their hands and sing nursery rhymes.

The arm covered with pale scales was placed on the notice board.

"absurd."

The owner of the arm looked at the words above, and a rare look of anger appeared on her pretty face.

Normally, she was a person who would never get angry, and she was always gentle to everyone. But after seeing this announcement that was completely deceiving the people of Dahuang City, she realized that she just wasn't angry yet.

Lao Ping wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Master Shu, why don't you go and see the village chief? He has already arrived with the crops."

"What's so good about it?" Shu closed his eyes.

Doesn’t Shu know whether this crop exists or not?

Lu Yingshi advised: "Master Shu, if he deceived the villagers and hastily inserted a crop into the polluted soil, we should tell him in person and not let the villagers be deceived by his grandstanding."

"Yes, we have been in Dahuang City for so many years, and there are still many villagers who trust us. Master Shu Tianshi, you must have grown up in Dahuang City since you were a child, so the villagers must trust you more."

Lao Ping looked at the woman who had worked in Dahuang City with him when he was young.

She is older than Lao Ping, that is for sure, but I don’t know how much older she is.

Shu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look together."

She hurried to the stage of the community play at the Shennong Festival with two celestial masters. The community play praising Shennong's struggle for heaven had ended, and the troupe was packing up their things in the audience, staring at the stage.

The brown-haired young man with tiger ears stood on the stage with the black-haired Elafia guard.

His delicate skin was completely different from that of the people around him, and it was obvious at first glance that he did not belong to Dahuang City.

Almost all families in Dahuang City sent at least one person to watch. Some were laughing, some were serious, and some were sarcastic. Everyone's eyes were focused on the stands in silence.

A Kongming lock, under his control, landed on the stands.

"Language is ultimately powerless, and facts are silent."

He said calmly, stretched out two fingers, and let the Kongming lock begin to disintegrate on its own.

As the metal blocks were taken apart piece by piece, the contents inside the Kongming lock appeared in front of everyone.

It was a pot of soil, and in the soil were Originium particles visible to the naked eye. In the polluted soil ravaged by the ugly black Originium particles, shrubs that looked like apple subfamily were thriving.

Its roots extend tenaciously among the black mineral particles, as if challenging fate, and are breathtakingly beautiful. The verdant green represents its rich vitality, and it is impossible that it was transplanted in a hurry.

Every leaf and every branch of it.

They all seem to be telling the world the miracle of life!

Chapter 25: Flowers Blooming on the Originium (Additional Chapter )

There was an uproar around the Shennong Temple.

The crowd went wild.

They were all farmers who had been farming in the Great Wasteland City for generations, so they naturally knew whether this kind of soil could grow anything. The fields they were more familiar with than their own family members were fields that had been cultivated by countless generations.

Lu Tianshi's experimental field also had experiments on planting plants on polluted land, but the so-called 8% and 10% pollution-level land looked no different from ordinary farmland. On the 60% pollution-level land, the Kaiyuan stone particles were directly visible. How could plants grow in this soil that even fungi dare not touch?

"Let me see. Let me see."

"Please, I'll just take a look. I'll be satisfied with just one look!"

"Are these the new seedlings we're going to plant after the autumn harvest? I think they are. Let me have a look!"

"Stop, stop! Everyone, stop here, don't come any closer! Master Ping and Master Lu both said that this is just a demonstration and it won't delay everyone's sowing after the autumn harvest..."

Impatiently, they tried to get closer, but were stopped by the young and strong men hired by the Taoist Priest.

But even these young and strong people stretched their heads to see more clearly the miracle of life on the soil that they had never seen before. The leaves were green and growing vigorously, and it was even about to bloom.

Even though the situation caused a lot of uproar, Yuan Congqian's expression on the stage remained calm.

It was like I was just doing something very ordinary.

Agricultural Master Lu Yingshi was sharp-eyed and exclaimed:

"Oh my god, this is so scary. The leaves are so beautiful. I can't grow them in this state in the lab, so how can I grow them in the Originium field?"

Lao Ping was close to the water and observed carefully for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Lao Lu, don't be too quick to praise me. The village chief is really good at growing crops, but the soil seems to be disturbed. Could it be transplanted?"

In fact, they all hoped very much that the scene before their eyes was real.

It is the light of hope in the hearts of farmers.

This crop growing in highly polluted source stone soil represents many things in their hearts. The dream of the agricultural master to feed the people of Da Yan, the envy of the cultivation technology of crops that can grow at 10% pollution when studying abroad...

But they were afraid that this was just an illusion, a product of the catalysis of Originium technology, or even a fake product.

The future that they began to imagine involuntarily would fall into the water and become a fantasy.

Therefore, they turned their inquiries to the more authoritative Shu Tianshi.

"......" The gentle woman with long blond hair just stared at the emerald green plant in a daze, her pale scaly hand suspended in mid-air. Her eyes were already occupied by the green.

Originium-contaminated soil can cause damage to plants in two ways: Originium poisoning and osmotic stress. The Originium components in the soil will directly overwhelm the water potential of the plant, inactivating the seed cells one by one, and eventually no one will survive.

She saw signs of the land turning over, but that was not the trace of filling after transplanting plants, but the trace of crops breaking through the soil overnight and growing violently. If Yuan Congqian was not the official governor of Da Yan, Shu would even think that he was a giant beast agent with the same power type as himself.

Without the power of a giant beast, even with Originium skills, it would be impossible to do this.

This is no longer something that can be done by magic. Only the miracle brought by the power of the giant beast can create another miracle of life. Of course, millet can make seeds germinate in polluted soil, but it cannot produce the next generation of seedlings.

"Master Shu, please tell me, is this true or false?"

Master Ping Tian was extremely anxious and urged in a low voice.

If this is fake, he will think that Yuan Congqian is playing a trick on everyone with his exquisite tricks. If it is true...

Shu said nothing, his gaze shifting from the miraculous plant to Yuan Congqian.

Yuan Congqian stood on the stage, facing the crowd and the gazes that were hot enough to produce flames, with a calm expression. He manipulated the Luban lock to lift up the earthen basin, attracting a group of hands to cover it in advance to prevent him from losing control.

"It's the time after the autumnal equinox, but it hasn't bloomed yet."

Yuan Congqian took a glass of water from Qiu Fengshu and said, "Plants of the Rosaceae family usually bloom in summer, and no later than September. This plant bloomed a little late, but if it bloomed at the autumnal equinox, it wouldn't be too late."

Clear water spilled from the bottle.

The crystal clear rain of life poured down on the fragile green leaves, causing Master Ping Tian to shout to stop.

Yuan Congqian had a smile on his face as if he was planning a move. He formed his two fingers into a sword and let the plant float to the center of the crowd.

In full view of everyone, the bush blossomed with crystal clear pale yellow crystal flowers.

The flowers are like shy girls, slowly spreading their skirts under the night sky.

A small flower of life blooming on the Originium.

Blooming luxuriantly and brilliantly.

The bright colors and the fragrant aroma instantly filled the entire square. Master Lu was stunned. He seemed to have seen the most beautiful moment in his life. His hands trembled unconsciously and his mouth opened and closed.

A plant that grew in soil contaminated by high-source stones bloomed flowers of high-purity source stones. Lu Tianshi's mind was blank at the moment, and he couldn't analyze any principles or say a word.

"Blooming? Just watering?"

"How is that possible? It's already October. How could the rose family be so bad after just one watering?"

"Quick, send it to the crop germplasm bank and collect the pollen to see its composition first!"

Master Ping Tian couldn't help it, so he rushed to the stage and hugged Yuan Congqian's hand.

"Where did you get this from? How could this happen? How could a plant survive and bloom in such ugly mineral soil?"

His tone was close to pleading.

Yuan Congqian ignored him and looked at Lu Yingshi.

"Master Lu, when it was planted, it was in soil with an exact Originium contamination level of 60% taken from the crop germplasm bank. Now can you help me measure the Originium contamination level of the soil it is in?"

"You mean, you mean, could it be that..."

Lu Yingshi was stunned, and with trembling hands he took out the Tianshi instrument from his body.

He took out a small Luban lock-shaped instrument from his arms. It was very simple, just stretching out his hand and rotating his elbow. But Lu Yingshi did this action for a full minute, and no one urged him.

He made a seal with his right hand and it took him three times before he succeeded.

The Tianshi instrument changed its shape in the air, twisting and reorganizing, and was carefully placed into the soil by Lu Yingshi.

"Soil Originium contamination level... 56.2%...!"

Chapter 26 He is Shennong (Additional Chapter )

Soil that can grow crops.

One of Terra's most valuable ecological resources.

The Originium particles in the soil are poison to all plants and animals. The Originium pollution of the soil is irreversible and there is no way to restore it. The soil polluted by natural disasters is no longer a land that can support humans and herd animals.

A rain of Originium can turn fields that were once lush with crops into barren land.

At the most extreme point, Lu Yingshi believed that the Originium disaster was a calamity deliberately sent down by God, and that it was a cruel joke by God to punish the common people with malicious intent. He had seen too many human disasters caused by the failure of Heavenly Masters to resist natural disasters in a timely manner.

But what does this plant in front of us represent?

This is a crop that can be grown on disaster-stricken high-source stone-contaminated land.

Not only can it absorb the Originium components in the soil, restoring the polluted land to soil suitable for planting, but it can also enrich those Originium components into its flowers, becoming a purified Originium that is more valuable than an equal weight of gold.

What does it represent on this land?

Master Lu couldn't imagine it.

"Give me a test."

Master Ping came over unsteadily, as if he was drunk. He roughly pushed Lu Yingshi away, took the Master's instrument from him almost snatching it away, selected another piece of soil, and began to take samples and measure.

The Tianshi instrument, which was extremely sensitive to the composition of Originium, quickly calculated the answer.

Master Ping Tian looked at the instrument and slowly read out its indication.

"Soil Originium contamination level, 55.9%... No, let's change to another area. The Originium contamination level around its roots has dropped to around 40%. The soil with Originium contamination level above 40% is just because its roots haven't reached there yet..."

Its roots can absorb the source stone components in the soil.

Just like plants absorb salt from the soil.

Consuming the Originium components in the soil, synthesizing its own nutrients, and finally enriching them in the flowers. Each bloom can reduce the Originium contamination in the soil around the roots by an average of 3%, and produce the purified Originium needed for industry.

The so-called irreversible land pollution is no longer a problem. If the mineral components can be carefully absorbed by plants, the polluted land will become precious fertile soil for growing other crops!
