When Lu Xuan was caring for and cultivating monkey-faced orchids, he specially selected six monkey-faced orchids, secretly numbered them, raised them with different spiritual insects, and recorded their time-delayed changes in expressions, constantly summarizing the rules.
Three days later, after he adjusted the cultivation method, all six monkey-faced orchids kept smiling or laughing expressions all day long.
"It's very comfortable to serve you."
Lu Xuan sighed and decided to inform Senior Sister Yao of his discovery.
The beautiful woman lived alone in a small courtyard, three elegant wooden houses, and a small garden with exotic flowers and plants.
"Senior Sister Yao, are you there? I need to trouble you, Senior Sister." Lu Xuan knocked on the door.
"Junior Brother Lu, please come in. What's important?"
The beautiful woman walked out of the house and asked with a smile.
"In the process of planting monkey-faced orchids, I accidentally discovered something, which is very likely to slightly improve the quality of monkey-faced orchids, so I came here to report it to you, senior sister."
"Really? Did you find anything?"
A trace of curiosity flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes, and she was dubious.
"I have been observing and summarizing for a period of time, and found that the expression inside the petals of the monkey face orchid is closely related to its own state. If the cultivation methods can be adjusted according to its expression and try to meet its needs, the quality of the spiritual plant can be improved."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice.
"The spiritual planter who planted monkey-faced orchids before had this inference, but in the end he still didn't find any mystery, so he used conventional cultivation methods and ignored those weird expressions."
"Junior Brother Lu, can you elaborate on what secrets are hidden in the expression?"
Lu Xuan frowned and pretended to think deeply.
"If Junior Brother's method is indeed feasible and effective, then I will definitely report it to the Foundation Architect Uncle behind the Pharmacy."
The beautiful woman seemed to see the worry in Lu Xuan's heart, and smiled and promised Lu Xuan.
If she can really improve the quality of the many second-grade monkey-faced orchids in the medicine garden, Lu Xuan will certainly be rewarded when she reports it to the foundation master uncle. As the manager of the medicine garden, she will also have a lot of merit.
Therefore, there is absolutely no need to monopolize Lu Xuan’s cultivation method.
"Sister Yao, you're welcome. I'm just organizing my words."
"The secret hidden inside is very simple. The expressions displayed by monkey-faced orchids have a very long delay, so it is easy to mislead the spiritual planters who cultivate them."
"There are two main factors that affect the change of expression. The most important one is the taste of the spirit insect. The difference in taste will cause the monkey face orchid to react in expression after half an hour."
"Another factor is the spiritual rain technique. The amount of spiritual rain will slightly affect the expression in the monkey face orchid petals, about an hour later."
"As long as we observe and figure out the rules, we can keep the monkey-faced orchid in a state of satisfaction, thus improving the quality of the plant."
"I see."
The beautiful woman kept nodding her head, suddenly realizing that the mystery contained in her expression was actually very simple, but if Lu Xuan hadn't figured it out, she didn't know when she would have discovered the secret.
"It seems that Junior Brother Lu does have a very good talent in cultivating spiritual plants."
She couldn't help but sigh.
"Starting from tomorrow, I will cultivate the monkey-faced orchid in the spiritual field according to the method you mentioned, Junior Brother Lu. I believe that Junior Brother's discovery will definitely bring me unexpected surprises."
The beautiful woman made a decision quickly.
**
"I disagree!"
"The monkey-faced orchid is a second-grade spiritual plant. It is valuable and there are such a large number. How can you change the cultivation method like child's play?"
"Just cultivate it in the original way, I firmly do not agree to change it easily!"
Outside the wooden house, the ordinary-looking Yan Ping's face turned red and he said excitedly.
After he learned that all the monkey-faced orchids in the spiritual field would need to adjust their cultivation methods, his reaction was extremely violent, beyond Lu Xuan's imagination.
"Senior Brother Yan, I have been observing for a while, and I can basically confirm that the expression of the monkey-faced orchid petals is closely related to its own condition. As long as it is cultivated according to the rules I have summarized, the quality of the monkey-faced orchid can be improved when it matures."
Lu Xuan gently advised. He originally thought that after persuading Senior Sister Yao, the road ahead would be smooth, but he didn't expect to encounter Yan Ping, a stumbling block halfway.
"Junior Brother Lu, there are so many spiritual planters in Tianjian Sect, and there are quite a few of them who have planted monkey-faced orchids, and there are even uncles who are foundation builders."
"None of them discovered the mystery behind Monkey Face Lan's expression. Instead, they were discovered by you, an outer disciple who had just entered the sect. Are you a little too confident?"
"I have been growing these monkey-faced orchids for so long. You came in and said you wanted to change the way they were cultivated. If something goes wrong, Uncle Foundation Architect will blame you. Can you afford it?"
Yan Ping's chest rose and fell violently, showing the strong fluctuations in his heart.
Lu Xuan was silent, what Yan Ping said made sense.
Although he was absolutely sure that he could improve the quality of monkey-faced orchid, in Yan Ping's view, it was a bit unbelievable.
If the changes are indeed effective, he won't get much credit, but if there are any mistakes, he must be responsible for planting and cultivating monkey-faced orchids for so long.
In the silence, the beautiful woman stood up and said.
"What Junior Brother Yan said makes sense. After all, he has put a lot of thought into these monkey-faced orchids. Changing the cultivation method must have his approval."
"Junior Brother Lu, the method you mentioned is currently in the experimental stage. How about this. There are nearly a hundred monkey-faced orchids in the spiritual field. They are directly divided into two halves. One half is cultivated by Junior Brother Yan in the normal way, and the other half is cultivated according to the method you, Junior Brother Lu
Methods.
What do you two think?"
Lu Xuan and Yan Ping looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and the monkey-faced orchid in the spiritual field entered the mature stage.
For nearly two months, Lu Xuan and Yan Ping each carefully took care of and cultivated the monkey-faced orchid assigned to them.
After that dispute, the relationship between the two became somewhat estranged. They occasionally met and nodded to say hello, but did not communicate too much.
Lu Xuan didn't care about this and devoted himself to cultivating monkey-faced orchids.
After the monkey-faced orchid entered the mature stage, Senior Sister Yao did not wait for the spiritual planting progress bar to be full before picking it like Lu Xuan did. Instead, she directly picked all the monkey-faced orchid petals.
The orchids picked from the monkey-faced orchids planted by the two people are piled up separately.
The pile belonging to Lu Xuan all showed smiling expressions. More than fifty smiling faces were crowded together, which made it a bit weirder.
"I will laugh even to death, and I will not waste my time meeting your every little request."
Lu Xuan sighed and looked at the petals of the monkey face orchid cultivated by Yan Ping. The expressions were different and the contrast was obvious.
"You two junior brothers have worked hard during this period. I will take care of these two piles of mature monkey-faced orchids."
Senior Sister Yao said with a smile.
Lu Xuan and the others nodded, while Yan Ping looked solemn. He has rich experience in growing monkey-faced orchids, so he can naturally see the subtle differences between the two qualities.
"Junior Brother Yan, pick fifty-five mature monkey-faced orchids, of which thirty-eight are of ordinary quality, fourteen are of good quality, and the remaining three are of superior quality."
Yan Ping looked calm. The quality of these monkey-faced orchids was not much different from what he expected.
But as soon as he saw the more than fifty monkey-faced orchids planted by Lu Xuan, he felt mixed emotions and found it difficult to calm down.
