A few days later, Ye Bai was told by Huo Chengyuan that he could go to Mumu Gardening Shop.

The investigation of Bai Xingwen also came out. The other party was innocent and had simple social relationships. His wife was away on business all the year round due to work, and his only son was attending elementary school in the capital of Long Shepherd Star.The gardening shop run by Bai Xingwen was the inheritance left by his father who died of illness. He himself grew up here. Because of this remembrance and friendship, Bai Xingwen, who is an A-level spiritual power user, did not go to a place where the treatment is more favorable.Instead of a big company, he became the manager of this small gardening shop.

"He doesn't seem to have told other people about your race and abilities, which shows that he is more sensible." Huo Chengyuan expressed some approval in his words, "In addition to running a store, he has also been doing research on improving plants. He is still a localThe honorary president of the Horticultural Planting Research Association. He seems to be trying to improve several agricultural crops recently, in order to expand the production of agricultural crops in extremely dry or extremely cold areas, and alleviate the local famine."

"Wow!" Ye Bai was very excited when he heard that, "Shop Manager Bai is actually doing such a meaningful thing? Then I want to participate even more!"

Huo Chengyuan had no objection to this, Ye Bai quickly sent a message to Bai Xingwen, telling him that he was willing to be his assistant, and went to the store to report on time the next morning.

"welcome!"

When Ye Bai walked into the store, the round-faced clerk immediately turned to him enthusiastically. After seeing Ye Bai's appearance clearly, the clerk immediately called out.

"Ah! Boy Bobolian!"

Ye Bai: "??"

Knowing that she made a slip of the tongue, the clerk covered her mouth in embarrassment, but still couldn't hide the curiosity and surprise in her eyes, she blinked and looked at Ye Bai.

"I know you, the uncles and aunts in the gardening class have been talking about you for the past few days, saying that you can rub out the seeds of Bobo lotus with bare hands, and they keep asking the store manager why you didn't go to the gardening class again.whee."

Ye Bai: "..."

I never expected that when came to a new city, would be remembered by others in this way.

"The store manager is waiting for you at the glass greenhouse," the clerk said with a smile, "you can go directly to him."

Ye Bai thanked him, and quickly went to the glass greenhouse, Bai Xingwen was writing something in front of the table, when he saw Ye Bai coming in, he immediately stood up.

"Welcome, Ye Bai."

He couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. The boy didn't show up again for several days. Bai Xingwen thought it was a polite refusal of his invitation. Unexpectedly, the other party was willing to come to the laboratory to help out. This is really good news for Bai Xingwen.

After the two exchanged simple greetings, they quickly got to the point. Bai Xingwen introduced the project he was researching to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai had already heard these contents from Huo Chengyuan, but he didn't show any abnormalities, he listened patiently again with a smile, and knew what his job content was.

"So, I need to help you ripen the optimized samples, so that you can see the experimental results immediately, the store manager, so as to improve the speed and efficiency of the improved experiments, is that right?"

Bai Xingwen nodded: "Exactly."

He can use the spiritual power of the plant system to improve the seeds, but how the improved seeds grow, he needs to wait patiently for the plants to grow until the plants are fully mature and the fruits are harvested before he can know the answer.

But plant growth is a long process. In order to improve efficiency, most researchers will choose to use nutrient solution to accelerate ripening, but this has a certain probability of failure, and even if nutrient solution is used, it will take a few days to wait for the crops to mature.Time is far less efficient than Ye Bai's use of abilities.

After listening to the other party's description, Ye Bai felt that his task was very simple, so he nodded: "Let's start."

Bai Xingwen had already prepared samples that needed to be ripened, and immediately placed them in front of Ye Bai one by one.

Recalling the feeling of ripening the Bobo lotus seeds, Ye Bai covered the first sample seeds with his hands, his eyes were slightly closed, a slight warmth appeared in his palms, and the leaf totem emerged again.

The green totem quickly transformed into a green awn full of vitality, and quietly drilled into the sample seed.

Soon, the seed shell cracked and the young buds stretched out. With the continuous infusion of power, the small seedlings quickly grew up, and quickly blossomed and bear fruit. The full fruit was pressed heavily on the branches. This is a verySample of success.

The camera placed next to it recorded the whole process of the sample's growth, which was convenient for Bai Xingwen to carry out subsequent analysis and research.The man jotted down a few notes on the record sheet, his eyes seemed to be shining.

"It's really amazing!" He couldn't help but praise, "Ye Bai, your ability is far beyond my expectation." If the maturity of each sample can be accelerated to this level, then the progress of the experiment will advance by leaps and bounds.The efficiency with which the fruit is produced may shock the entire botanical research community!

Seeing that he could help, Ye Bai was also very happy. After a short rest, he started to ripen the second sample.

The same steps, the same method, but this time Ye Bai suddenly felt a resistance when pouring his vitality.

Eh?

Ye Bai thought it was an illusion at first, but after using a little force, he found that it was indeed difficult to push the green awn in. He pushed hard, and the green awn burst apart, and the sample seed only pulled out a small bud, and it stopped growing.

——This time the ripening was undoubtedly a failure.

Not only Ye Bai, but Bai Xingwen was also stunned, there was a moment of silence in the greenhouse, Ye Bai looked at Bai Xingwen in a daze, and murmured, "I just..."

Ye Bai told the other party about the resistance he encountered just now, Bai Xingwen pondered for a moment, and brought a new seed over.

He actually suspected that there was something wrong with the sample, unable to absorb the vitality. This time he used a mature seed with no problem. Ye Bai tried it again, but he also felt the resistance.I went in, but the growth of the seeds was far from the first sample.

Bai Xingwen conducted several more experiments and finally understood what was going on.

"Your ability seems to have limitations on some high-level plants." Bai Xingwen said, "It may be that the composition of some high-level plant seeds is more complicated, and your ability cannot break through their own barriers and pour in, so it will be counted., and it is difficult to find the right location to stimulate their growth potential, and the external manifestation is the failure of ripening."

When he verified Ye Bai's ability before, because the number of experiments he did was limited, he only tested the effect on high-level plant seeds once. At that time, Ye Bai's ripening was successful, but he didn't expect that this effect could not be extended to allon high-level plants.

Ye Bai's eyes darkened: "Is it because I can't help you, the store manager?"

"Of course not." Bai Xingwen saw the frustration of the young man, and quickly comforted him, "Many of the varieties I research are low- and middle-level seeds. You have done a good job in ripening these samples, and I definitely need your assistance.Yes. And I think you, Ye Bai, have great potential for supernatural powers, maybe after a while, you can ripen high-level plants."

When Ye Bai returned home, Huo Chengyuan was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book, today he was on vacation, when he saw the young man coming in through the gate, Huo Chengyuan immediately raised his head, a little surprised.

"It's over so soon?"

Huo Chengyuan glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was only two hours since the boy went out, he thought the other party would come back at noon.

"Yeah." Ye Bai changed his shoes at the entrance, and hung the coat he took off on the shelf at the door.

"What's wrong?" Sensing keenly that Ye Bai's mood was wrong, Huo Chengyuan closed the book, got up and walked over, "Things are not going well?"

Ye Bai sighed, and gave a low "hmm".

It was the first time Huo Chengyuan saw Little Ye look so sullen, he pulled him to sit on the sofa, and looked at the other's face seriously.

"what is the problem?"

Ye Bai hesitated for a moment, and told what happened at Bai Xingwen's side.

Although he also helped Bai Xingwen ripen a few low-level samples later, he knew that more samples were high-level plant seeds.This kind of rare species that cannot be ripened with nutrient solution is the focus of Bai Xingwen's research, but he is unable to do it himself. This gap and sense of powerlessness make him very depressed.

Huo Chengyuan thought for a while, and said: "I think that store manager is right. You have great potential for supernatural powers, and the upper limit of your abilities is far beyond what it is currently. As long as you take time, you will definitely be able to ripen high-level plants."

"But how to tap this potential?" Ye Bai was at a loss and confused, "How can I train my ability so that it can grow? I don't know how to do it at all."

"How does it feel when you use your power?" Huo Chengyuan asked.

"Uh...it doesn't seem to feel anything." Ye Bai said honestly, "I just wanted to let the green glow enter the seed, and it went in, that's all."

"Can't you manipulate it finely?" Huo Chengyuan asked, "For example, control the way it enters, adjust its size or strength, just like using your fingers."

Ye Bai shook his head.

Huo Chengyuan pondered for a moment. For a person with spiritual power like him, the existence of spiritual power is like an extra pair of hands. It is not difficult to use it. However, in the early stage of awakening spiritual power, he has also undergone some training before he can use it freely.of.Although Little Flower Immortal's ability is different from human spiritual power, according to the information he has learned, the ability of bloodline awakening and human spiritual power share some rules in common.

"Use your power on me." Huo Chengyuan said to Ye Bai, "Try pouring your green light into my body."

ah?

Ye Bai froze for a moment, then quickly waved his hands: "No, no, you are not a plant!"

"It's okay, I know in my heart, there will be no problem." Huo Chengyuan insisted, "Your ability can only catalyze low-level plants at present, which means that the energy is not that strong, and my spiritual power can be suppressed. You can rest assured to use it on me.gone."

Ye Bai still felt that something was wrong, but Huo Chengyuan repeatedly said that there was no problem, Ye Bai was finally persuaded.

"Then...then let me try?"

"Well, come on."

Ye Bai swallowed nervously, and gently pressed his hand on Huo Chengyuan's forehead.

"I won't germinate you..." He was still a little worried, and muttered in a low voice, "Maybe some cell strengthening, secondary growth of the body or something..."

Huo Chengyuan was amused: "If it can really promote the secondary growth of the human body, the people of the Life Research Society will probably offer you up as a national treasure."

Ye Bai stuck out his tongue, he stopped thinking wildly, his expression became serious, his palms became slightly warm, and the leaf totem appeared again, it quickly turned into a green glow full of vitality, pouring into Huo Chengyuan's forehead.

Almost immediately, Ye Bai felt a strong resistance, but unlike before, this resistance soon weakened slowly, and wrapped his strength little by little, like a sticking mist, attached to theHis strength was outside and pulling him a little deeper.

Ye Bai looked at Huo Chengyuan in surprise, who nodded slightly: "Remember this sense of manipulation."

Ye Bai quickly closed his eyes, concentrating on experiencing the feeling of power being manipulated by Huo Chengyuan's spiritual power—his green light seemed to have become a marionette, and Huo Chengyuan's spiritual power was the silk thread attached to it, the man stretched the green light on the groundYe Bai tried to fight against the flow in his body, and gradually found a sense of manipulative power.

"Yes, that's it." Sensing Ye Bai's attempt, Huo Chengyuan nodded approvingly, "Control it with your mind, guide its flow direction, adjust its strength and size, just like you are controlling a rubber hose that sprays waterSame."

Ye Bai did as he said.

Although it was clumsy and jerky at first, after repeated practice, he did find some tricks.When he completely calmed down his body and mind, and combined his consciousness with the green light, some black shadows appeared indistinctly in front of his eyes, like the flow of wind, continuous and endless.

Ye Bai tried to separate a ray of power, traced the black "wind", and swam towards the source.Suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened up, and he saw a vast ocean.

Ye Bai was startled, and quickly realized: "Is this your sea of spiritual consciousness?" He heard that spiritual power users have a special realm of spiritual consciousness, most of which are in the state of the sea, probably hereup.

Huo Chengyuan: "Yes."

Because of the invisible barrier, Ye Bai couldn't go deeper, he could only stop at the entrance, "looking" at the area curiously.

It is not so much "seeing" as it is perceiving with consciousness. He feels that this sea of spiritual consciousness is not calm.Floating outside.They flew in all directions, some were blocked by the barrier of the sea of spiritual consciousness, and some escaped, which were the black "winds" that Ye Bai had seen before.

"What are these black shadows?" Ye Bai asked suspiciously.

Huo Chengyuan was silent for a while.

"It's my overflowing spiritual power."

Ye Bai immediately understood.

He knew that Huo Chengyuan had always had the problem of overflowing mental power, and it hadn't improved for more than ten years. He could only control it by his own control and the silver chain that blocked his mental power.Because Huo Chengyuan has never shown any trouble, Ye Bai thought this problem was not serious, but judging from the state of the other party's spiritual consciousness, it is actually not easy for Huo Chengyuan to maintain this balance.

"Will it be uncomfortable?" Ye Bai opened his eyes, and looked at the man worriedly, "Will you be tired from being on guard all the time?"

Like a tight rubber band, it can be maintained for a short time, but after a long time, you will definitely feel tired.

"It's okay." Huo Chengyuan said, "I'm used to it."

"If..." Ye Bai hesitated, but couldn't help asking, "If one day, you can no longer control yourself, what should you do?"

A spring that has been stretched for too long will lose its toughness one day. Although Huo Chengyuan can still rely on self-control to control the overflow problem, he cannot always be full of energy. Maybe one day, he will not be able to maintain the balance in the sea of consciousness.

"I will apply for self-destruction of mental power." Huo Chengyuan said without hesitation, his tone was calm, and he had obviously thought about this possibility a long time ago, "I will not let the tragedy in Moston City happen again, if my spiritual power reallyThe danger is so uncontrollable that destroying it is the best choice."

Ye Bai didn't speak any more.

Huo Chengyuan said it lightly, but Ye Bai knew that the process of abolishing spiritual power was very dangerous and painful, and the Grimm Empire fanatically admired spiritual power. King Aogu did not hesitate to take risks with the "God-making Project" just because the level of spiritual power was low.", if Huo Chengyuan voluntarily gave up his spiritual power, and fell from a person with advanced spiritual power to a person without spiritual power, this psychological gap cannot be summed up in a simple sentence.

Ye Bai was silent for a while, he closed his eyes again, and observed Huo Chengyuan's sea of spiritual consciousness with his consciousness.

He looked at the phantoms escaping from the barrier of the sea of spiritual consciousness, and suddenly released a strand of green light, chased after one of them, and wrapped it up.

Ye Bai imitated what Huo Chengyuan did when he first guided him, attaching his own power to it, and tried to drag this black shadow, trying to pull it back into the sea of spiritual consciousness.

Ye Bai's idea is very simple, he feels that if he can also help the other party guide his spiritual power, then Huo Chengyuan's pressure will be relieved, although his own strength is very weak now, maybe he will be able to "capture" more scattered overflows in the future.Huo Chengyuan can get a temporary rest by suppressing them temporarily, even if only for a while, it is better than nothing.

The two forces were entangled, Ye Bai subconsciously infiltrated the green light into the black shadow, suddenly, he felt Huo Chengyuan's body tremble, and his hand on his forehead was immediately patted off.

The connection of consciousness was cut off in an instant, Ye Bai froze for a moment, and his whole body became tense in an instant.

"What's wrong?" His face turned pale, "Did I hurt you? Shouldn't I do that?"

Huo Chengyuan's expression was a little weird, he adjusted his sitting posture unnaturally, and took a deep look at the boy.

Just now……

Facing the gaze of the young man's pure eyes, Huo Chengyuan finally didn't say anything, but coughed lightly.

"nothing."
