Chapter 52 - Purple Chaos
A spoonful of a purple object was poured into the small hole where one of the seeds was placed. Guan Yu quickly sealed the two holes with the soft soil around and immediately poured water from the bucket next to him. Yue Qianchou stared at him completing a series of movements then turned his gaze toward the soil.
Not long afterward, there was a crack in the soil that was penetrated by a few drops of water. Suddenly, the crack grew bigger and it was broken from the middle. A small conspicuous light green object was seen, it would be undetected without paying a close attention
Soon, the light green object was slightly shaken and gradually stretched out. A small green seedling appeared in front of him.
Yue Qianchou breathed in from his mouth and said, "That... That seed is germinating? How is it possible?" He stared at Guan Yu and asked again, "How did you do it?"
Guan Yu smiled at the green shoot and gestured for him to continue watching.
The small green shoot sprouted full of vitality, the branches spread into four and it continued to expand and grow at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. The young leaves continued to multiply along the branches, the main trunk reached the height of human thighs. The beginning semi-transparent green trunk became brown, and the whole plant as if had finished, there was no more movement.
Aside from the growth process that was too rampant, no one could see the difference between this plant and other plants.
Is it done? Yue Qianchou regained his breath and just breathed out. Suddenly, the plant was moving again, the branches and leaves were shaking and attracted his attention.
The quietness of the plant seemed to be in order to brew something, the branches were trembling, there was something unusual growing on the branches, starting from a small bud and becoming larger and larger.
Afterward, there was something trying to break free from the buds, the fragile flowers burst out open. The bright colors began to bloom, it kept expanding and shaping. A few full bloomed flowers appeared in front of the eyes, the petals were bright and fresh, the stamens and pistil pleased the eyes.
Not long after, the people who stood on the side could smell the faint fragrance
In this way, a plant with more than a dozen flowers on its branches stood in front of the eyes. From the time of sowing, watering, germination, establishment, vegetative growth, budding, and flowering, it only took a tea time, it was really unbelievable.
Looking at this scene, Yue Qianchou held his breath for a long time. He slowly turned his face and his eyes fell on the bamboo tube in Guan Yu's hand. In addition to that spoonful of a purple object, he didn't find any abnormality during the planting process. It was clear that something in the bamboo tube was the key.
Guan Yu smiled at him and said, "I'll let you see again." Then he squatted and repeated the process to the other small hole. When he added the purple object, he added a more spoonful than before.
Soon, a seed grew into a swaying plant. Looking at the growth process, Yue Qianchou didn't find any difference with the former.
Looking at the two flowers stood together, the abnormality suddenly appeared. After the flowers bloomed, the petals were changing, the eye-catching bright colors eclipsed, it slowly dying of an old age. The flowers began to wither, the petals fell piece by piece, the stamens and the pistil shrink and fell down. The branches and leaves withered and turned yellow as it collapsed. Finally, only dead branches remained on the ground, it was in contrast to the full bloom flowers beside it.
"How is it?" Guan Yu shook the bamboo tube with a smile "Do you think I showed you a good thing?"
Yue Qianchou nodded his head and said, "It really is a good thing, to actually compress the growth process of a plant in the time of tea, really magical, but..." He suddenly pointed to the distant chaotic purple fog and asked, "What I want to know the most is, what method did you use to put that purple chaos into this small bamboo tube?" Just as the flowers withered, Yue Qianchou suddenly had this feeling, he guessed the object in Guan Yu's hand.
"Hah, I really can't hide the truth from you," Guan Yu wanted to tease Yue Qianchou but he didn't expect to be exposed so quickly. He raised the bamboo tube in his hand and exclaimed, "Although I don't know what it is, you should understand it better than me. You said that this is the purple chaos, then it should be purple chaos. I have only discovered the usefulness of this object purely by accident.
He looked into the distance purple chaos and said, "When I first saw this thing, I felt it was very strange. What was behind that purple? After strenuous efforts, I discovered that although this thing is soft, I couldn't even squeeze it open nor break it, let alone install it, it's really amazing. I thought you know something about it, now it seems that you don't."
Yue Qianchou nodded and said, "Then how did you do it?"
"Haha, it was merely a coincidence. A few days ago I was hungry and went to roast rabbit meat on a stick, I had this weird idea. Although that purple chaos couldn't be broken even by a stone, it was unexpectedly scratched by the wooden stick in my hand. After trying several times with different objects, I discovered that this chaos purple is invulnerable to anything but a wood attribute object. So I dug it out with a wooden spoon and tried to store it, but in the end, it was still useless. It would eventually disappear whenever I store it, then I finally thought about using a bamboo as a storage since it is also a wood attribute. That's how I came into this, haha! Really useful," Said Guan Yu followed by his proud laugh.
"So that's how it is!" Yue Qianchou finally realized, he then pointed to the bamboo tube in the hand and pointed to the blooming flowers, "How did you know that it possesses this magical effect? Was it also accidentally discovered?"
Guan Yu secretly gazed at the White Fox, he smiled and said, "Well, I've been planting flowers every day, during the boring time, I had the impulse to see what it would be like to use this purple chaos as a fertilizer, so I scoop out from the tube, and the result.... The result startled me! It was that time I discovered this purple chaos possessed such a magical effect. After that, I tried several times to decide the right amount so I can control the growth rate of the flower plants."
"I would have never thought that such a treasure unexpectedly inside my own turf." Yue Qianchou heaved a sigh and said, "Is it also working on other kinds of plants? Yunchang, have you tried other things?
On the side, the White Fox stared at Guan Yu, it was her first time Guan Yu was also called as Yunchang.
Guan Yu nodded, "I have tried a few, it should be useful to grow any plants. However, I discovered a strange problem, the flowers and plants that we have planted were never bearing any seeds. Looking at it, it should be impossible, I can understand it if it is because there is no blossoming flower, but this is not the case. The same is true with the purple chaos, is it related to this place? Boss, you always said that this is your territory, I want you to explain it to me!"
Yue Qianchou also pondered the problem, as for Guan Yu's demand, he pretended not to hear it.
The two eyes swept across the blooming flower garden, he felt that there was something missing. The slightly frowning eyebrows suddenly loosened. Yue Qianchou pointed toward the dead branches that had just experienced the rise and fall, he said, "Yes, you just do it again just the way it was."
