  "This is the Crimson Jade Grass, a top-grade middle-tier herb. It's even more precious than the Fuling Flower, but it doesn't have any harsh requirements for growing conditions. No matter how bad the environment is, it can still grow. The only special thing about it is that it grows extremely slowly. Although we've already researched ways to speed up its growth rate, it has a big impact on its efficacy, so wild Crimson Jade Grass is very precious. This particular plant of my grandmother's was transplanted from the wild."

  Bi Yunqing took Chu Xiao to see several potted landscapes, and finally stopped in front of a particularly colorful and exotic grass. On top of it was a flower with a light blue-green color, its surface smooth and flowing, with subtle and mysterious textures.

  "Target: Rhodobryum roseum."

  Rank: Heavenly Middle Grade.

  Year of growth: 1985.

  Efficacy years: 613 (middle cycle five segments).

  Medicinal properties: reviving the dead, bringing people back to life, flesh and bone regeneration...

  According to the detailed information displayed on the Cultivation System, this type of Red Pearl Grass blooms once every 500 years, bears fruit once every 500 years, and ripens once every 500 years.

  That is to say, it will take one thousand five hundred years for the fruit of this red bead grass to mature.

  Of course, this year refers to the efficacy year, and according to the growth year, it can be at most three hundred years.

  However, the efficacy of this Lingzhu grass is only a little over seven points compared to its growth year, which shows that its growth is indeed extremely slow. This is still the case with the spiritual plant master's cultivation, if it were an ordinary spiritual plant cultivator, it would likely be even slower.

  Chu Xiao also knew that this precious spiritual medicine must be carefully cultivated for a long time before it can be used, unlike ordinary spiritual medicines which can be harvested in just one or two years. It is precisely because of this that the preciousness of these spiritual medicines is revealed.

  Bi Yunqing was very interested in spiritual medicine cultivation, introducing these spiritual medicines as if they were her own family treasures, relaxed and elegant, with an excited glow on her face. From the conversation, it was learned that she was studying spiritual medicine cultivation with Tai Nainai, and her dream was to become a top-level spiritual plant master like Tai Nainai.

  Zhuo Xiao politely didn't interrupt her words, occasionally saying a few sentences, as if he were an attentive listener.

  Bi Yunqing seemed to be enjoying this feeling as well, explaining things tirelessly, and even unknowingly treating Chu Xiao as a close friend, occasionally revealing her inner thoughts and sharing her dreams.

  Bai Yunqing spent nearly two hours strolling through the garden bonsai area, not feeling the passage of time at all. It wasn't until she reached the last pot of spiritual medicine that she realized how much time had passed.

  Her cheeks were slightly flushed as she softly asked: "Chu Xiao, do you have a favorite potted landscape?"

  "I like all the bonsai here, and I'm dazzled by so many good ones. Earlier, Aunt Bi said that if I chose a particularly valuable one, she would give me another as a gift. Or you could secretly tell me which one to choose, so we can each have one, how about that?"

  Chu Xiao's gaze swept across the entire bonsai area, and he rubbed his chin in dismay.

  In fact, he had a thorough understanding of all the potted landscapes, from the grade of spiritual medicine to the year of efficacy and so on, and could already determine which pot was the most precious spiritual medicine.

  "I don't know about this, I'm still at a beginner level when it comes to identifying spiritual medicine, and can only make simple distinctions."

  Bi Yunqing shook her head apologetically.

  "Didn't Grandma Bi tell you?"

  Chu Xiao said strangely.

  "No, but my great-grandmother said that when I can accurately identify all the bonsai here, she will give them all to me. Hehe, this year I plan to take the examination for the title of First-Rate Bonsai Master."

  Bi Yun Qing shook her head, but a sweet smile floated onto her lovely face, and her beautiful eyes were full of expectations for the future.

  Chu Xiao secretly smiled in his heart, your great-grandmother really gave you a difficult problem, it's really hard to identify, I don't know how long it will take, after all, it's not something that can be achieved in just one or two years, but rather requires decades of hard work and research to become a spiritual plant master, and even then, there is only a certain probability of success, because talent is too important.

  "Hehe, then I'll wish you success in advance."

  Chu Xiao encouraged her.

  "Thank you, but you'd better hurry up and choose a pot of spiritual medicine."

  Bi Yun smiled sweetly and nodded vigorously.

  "Well, but what advice do you have?" Chu Xiao smiled and said.

  "Great Auntie said, if a spiritual plant master can't accurately identify the spiritual medicine and just relies on feeling, this is an irresponsible attitude. So I won't give you any advice. You choose yourself!"

  Bi Yun Qing shook her head and a hint of apology appeared on her face.

  She's indeed an honest and principled girl!

  Chu Xiao couldn't help but feel a deep sense of emotion, and his feelings for Bi Yunqing grew stronger.

  She nodded, and Chu Xiao's eyes scanned the various bonsai trees, finally landing on a small, exquisite one on a low platform. She smiled slightly and walked over to it. The bonsai was not large, only about the size of a sea bowl, but the pot itself was extraordinary, belonging to the category of spiritual vessels. Many mysterious flower patterns were carved into its surface, giving off an air of ancient simplicity.

  In fact, it's not just this pot, but other pots are basically at the level of spiritual instruments. After all, the spiritual medicine being planted is too precious, and ordinary pots can't match up to it.

  Of course, the most eye-catching is still a spiritual grass in this basin. The spiritual grass is dark green, and its stem and leaves are not separated, just like scallions. However, on this spiritual grass, there are silver threads, but they are very light and almost covered by the dark green color.

  And at the top of the spiritual grass, there is a stoma that opens and closes, as if breathing, this is the spiritual grass inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy.

  "Target: Yuan Xi Cao."

  Rank: Heavenly Middle Grade.

  Growth years: 119 years.

  Efficacy years: 1210 (Second segment of the large cycle).

  Medicinal properties: Enhance the power of innate spiritual energy, uplift spiritual roots...

  This is the longest medicinal period in the entire bonsai area, and it is also the only one that has entered the grand cycle. The grade is not low, and from here, we can see that the value of this Yuanxi grass is absolutely the greatest.

  "Why did you choose this pot of Yuanxi grass?"

  Bi Yunqing said with some surprise.

  Among all the spiritual herbs, this pot of Yuan Xi grass is a relatively low-key and inconspicuous spiritual herb. Compared to others, many spiritual herbs are more visually stunning than it.

  She is a girl and has more interest in good-looking elixirs.

  "This is it, this pot of yuan xi grass, I think it's the most pleasing to the eye." Chu Xiao picked up the pot of yuan xi grass and walked towards the main hall.

  Bi Yunqing's face was stunned for a moment, and she looked a bit dazed. She then followed them into the hall, where Bi Changchun and Grandma Bi were sitting on rattan chairs, chatting about something.

  "Master, Aunt Bi, sorry to keep you waiting."

  Chu Xiao and Bi Yunqing walked side by side into the grand hall.

  "Chu Xiao, this is the pot you chose, a mid-grade Yuan Xi grass. Haha, it seems that your grandma will be heartbroken! " Chu Xiao held the pot and was quite surprised, then burst out laughing.

  He is an alchemy master, and naturally treasures any spiritual medicine as if it were his own family treasure.

  At this moment, Grandma Bi also stood up, with a hint of appreciation on her face: "Not bad, the old lady's most precious Yuanxi grass was picked out by you. Chu Xiao, you shouldn't have chosen it randomly, what reason made you choose this pot of Yuanxi grass?"

  Bi Yunqing looked at Chu Xiao in surprise, wondering if he also had a deep understanding of spiritual medicine. She thought about her previous proud introduction and felt a flush rise to her cheeks.
