Chapter 86 86
After being "taught" by Huo Chengyuan himself, Ye Bai's self-confidence returned.
He already knew the direction of his efforts, the previous confusion and frustration were swept away, and now Ye Bai had only one thought: practice, level up, break through, advance!
Ye Bai spent the whole afternoon in the glass greenhouse in the yard, and ripened five or six flower seeds in a row—these were all low-grade seeds bought from the seed market earlier. It was not difficult for Ye Bai to ripen them, butThis time he adjusted the method, no longer use the green glow to simply and rudely ripen, but like Huo Chengyuan taught himself, adjust the way of instilling power and the strength of energy, advancing and infusing little by little.
Because he learned to connect with the green awn with consciousness, Ye Bai also had a new experience of the perception inside the seed: he found that the inside of the seed contains life force, but this life force is like a small eggshell, which is very contained.Tight, he needs to water and hit it a little bit with strength to break the "eggshell", so that the vitality of the seed can be released, and with his own strength added, it can quickly grow into a mature plant.
Ye Bai guessed that the same is true for the seeds of high-level plants, but their seed structure is more complicated, and the process of cracking the "eggshell" will be longer. Of course, this is just Ye Bai's guess, and you have to try it yourself to know the specific situation..
The next day, Ye Bai went to Mumu gardening shop again.
He told Bai Xingwen what he discovered when he used his power, and Bai Xingwen was quite surprised.
"It only took you half a day to learn how to manipulate abilities?" Bai Xingwen was amazed. The speed of comprehension can be described as extraordinary talent.
"Actually, it's someone else's credit." Ye Bai scratched his head embarrassingly. "It's mine...uh, it's my friend. He is a person with spiritual power. He used spiritual power to guide me to learn how to manipulate abilities."
"That friend of yours is very powerful." Bai Xingwen said with emotion. He guessed that the friend Ye Bai mentioned was probably an S-level spiritual power user. Only people of this level can do this.Can't do it.
Hearing Bai Xingwen's praise of Huo Chengyuan, Ye Bai's eyes lit up, and he nodded proudly: "Yes, yes, he is amazing! Hehe."
Ye Bai's ability has made a new breakthrough, and Bai Xingwen has also arranged a new task for him - let the young man familiarize himself with the seeds of those high-level plants.
"Don't rush to ripen, first focus on exercising your abilities." Bai Xingwen said, "If you encounter bottlenecks and difficulties during the period, you can discuss them with me at any time. Although our methods of using power are different, certain rules probably also apply.applicable to each other."
In the following days, Ye Bai would go to Bai Xingwen's glass greenhouse to report every day, using his own abilities to study the high-level seeds provided by the other party.
The research process was a little boring at first, but as time passed, Ye Bai gradually felt some fun. He felt like he was doing a math problem. The problem was very complicated, and the thinking of solving the problem was very important, and the required formulas were also different. AlthoughMost of the time it will be so difficult that he scratches his head, but if he solves a problem, the great sense of accomplishment and joy is unparalleled.
Every day when Ye Bai came home, he would excitedly share his progress with Huo Chengyuan, and Huo Chengyuan would praise him with a smile, but he never proposed to use his spiritual power to guide Ye Bai.
Ye Bai is still a little disappointed about this: he feels that he has made great progress now, if he uses his supernatural ability on Huo Chengyuan again, the other party will definitely be amazed by his growth, this is much more intuitive than verbal boasting, but Huo Chengyuan doesn't say this,Ye Bai was too embarrassed to pester the other party to show off, so he could only give up.
Days passed, and through Ye Bai's unremitting efforts, he became more and more proficient in the use of supernatural powers, and more and more high-level plant seeds were ripened for Bai Xingwen. On this day——
"Wow, it's done!!"
There was an excited cheer from the glass greenhouse. Ye Bai's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and his bright eyes were fixed on a plant half a person's height in front of him. It was covered with translucent yellow and orange fruits, likeIt's the balls of colored lights hanging on the Christmas tree, so heavy that the branches are bent.
This is the last high-grade seed in Bai Xingwen's research samples, and it is also the one with the most difficulty in ripening. Ye Bai worked hard for more than a week before finally catalyzing it successfully, allowing this seed to complete the germination and growth in one dayThe process of flowering and fruiting finally turned into the mature fruit tree in front of me.
"It's perfect." Bai Xingwen's excitement and joy were by no means inferior to Ye Bai's. He circled the fruit tree several times, muttering "that's great" all the time, and picked a fruit from it, put it in theAn instrument begins to check its value.
Ye Bai knew that this was a necessary procedure for Bai Xingwen's research, and usually at this stage, he would have nothing to do with himself.He looked at the sky outside, the sun had set, and it was time to go home, but he had exhausted too much energy today, and now he was weak, so he had to rest for a while.
Supporting his dizzy head, Ye Bai sat back on the chair limply. When he moved the chair, he accidentally bumped into the table, and the stack of notes on the table fell off with a "crash", scattered all over the floor.
"ah!"
Ye Bai exclaimed, and just as he was about to bend over to pick it up, Bai Xingwen squatted down first, and started picking up the notes and pages on the ground.
"It's okay, I'll just come." He smiled at the young man, "You are already very tired, go on resting."
Bai Xingwen knew that Ye Bai put in a lot of effort today, and the use of supernatural powers is a very energy-consuming thing. If he didn't know that the other party's house lived very close, he would have planned to let Ye Bai live here directly, rest for a night and then go back.
Ye Bai was indeed a little tired, but he was too embarrassed to stand by and just picked up a few notebooks that had fallen by the seat.When the last book was picked up, something slipped out of the book and fell lightly to the ground.
That is a photo.
The background of the photo is in this glass greenhouse. There are three people on the picture, one is Bai Xingwen, the other is his son Tata, and the other is a gentle woman who looks like a husband and wife with Bai Xingwen.
"That's my wife."
Seeing the young man staring at the photo, Bai Xingwen simply took the photo to the table and introduced it to him generously: "The nature of her job requires business trips all year round, so you haven't met her yet."
It was also mentioned in the intelligence investigated by Huo Chengyuan that Bai Xingwen's wife was away all year round due to work, which is consistent with Bai Xingwen's current narrative.
"Is she also doing plant-related work?" Ye Bai asked curiously.
Bai Xingwen nodded: "She is a plant explorer, and she will go to places where space rifts have appeared, looking for new varieties of plants."
Ye Bai heard Huo Chengyuan talk about some rules of this world, among which "space rift" is the channel connecting the human world and the dark world, and many dark creatures came here through the sudden appearance of space rift, but except for the walking DiabloCreatures, plants unique to the dark world, will also come to the human world by chance and coincidence. Obviously, it is the job of Bai Xingwen's wife to explore and find these alien plants.
"Then she must have discovered a lot of interesting plants, right?" Ye Bai was very interested in this topic. "Dark creatures all have different appearances and abilities. Are dark plants the same?"
"Well." Bai Xingwen nodded, "Most dark plants are dangerous and highly aggressive, but a few of them also have good effects and are very useful to humans, such as certain plants that can heal mental power."
"Plant that heals spiritual power?" Ye Bai's eyes widened. "Can high-level spiritual power also heal?"
"Yes." Bai Xingwen said, "According to my wife, they discovered a special fruit called Anshen Fruit, which can cure mental backlash. The effect is very good, and it is also suitable for advanced spiritual power."
Drugs that heal mental power are very rare in the human world, and many of the effects are not satisfactory, and the higher the level of mental power, the worse the therapeutic effect of the drug. Like the "spiritual power backlash" mentioned by Bai Xingwen just now, it means high-level mental power.It is a common disease among patients, and there is almost no immediate treatment at this stage.
"However, it is very difficult to plant Anshen fruit. The fruit production time is calculated in years. It is basically priceless. Even the top dignitaries may not be able to get one, let alone the treatment of this kind of fruit, which needs to be taken every day.Only one seed can be effective, and most people can't afford it." Bai Xingwen looked at the young man, and suddenly smiled, "But if it's you, Ye Bai, it shouldn't be difficult for you to plant and mature. If the people around you have mental backlash,It can be treated with Anshen Fruit."
Ye Bai is currently not interested in curing mental backlash, he only wants to know one thing——
"Is there a fruit that can heal the overflow of mental power?" Ye Bai asked anxiously, "Do you know, Manager Bai?"
Bai Xingwen thought for a while: "It seems... I haven't heard of it."
Ye Bai wilted instantly.
"Is there someone around you who needs to heal the overflow of mental power?" The young man's thoughts were almost written on his face, and Bai Xingwen could understand it at a glance, "This kind of illness is not a difficult disease, right? As long as you wear a mental power blockadedevice, it will not affect daily life.”
That's true, but Huo Chengyuan is not an ordinary psychic power user, his psychic power is too dangerous, that kind of blocking device can only be used as an auxiliary, if you completely rely on them, it is not safe.
Seeing that Ye Bai was still preoccupied, Bai Xingwen said: "I will ask my wife later, she has a lot of knowledge, and she may have heard of plants that can heal the overflow of spiritual power.There will be discoveries in this regard, and I will notify you as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Store Manager Bai!" Ye Bai was overjoyed, "Then I'll leave it to you."
"It's a little effort, you're welcome."
Ye Bai rested for a while, feeling that his physical strength had almost recovered, so he got up and said goodbye to Bai Xingwen.
"Ah, wait a minute."
Bai Xingwen walked to the newly ripened fruit tree, picked five or six fruits from it, put them in a bag, and handed them to Ye Bai: "This sweet fruit tastes very good, take it back and taste it with your friendsGo." Through daily chats, Bai Xingwen knew that Ye Bai lived with that senior spiritual friend.
Ye Bai was stunned: "This, isn't this a test sample?" Can it be eaten?
"What I need is the growth process of the fruit tree. I only need to keep one or two fruits as research samples." Bai Xingwen smiled and stuffed the bag into the young man's hand, "The rest of the fruits are waste, you just take them."Let's go back."
The other party said so, and it would be too rude to refuse, so Ye Bai took it, smiling and said: "Thank you, manager. Then I will not be polite."
"By the way, this kind of fruit can replace grain to make wine. If you eat too much, you will get drunk easily. Don't eat too much at once."
"I know." After studying the seeds for so long, Ye Bai still understands the situation of Tiantianguo, he thanked store manager Bai again, and happily went back with the bag.
When Ye Bai returned home, it was already dark.
He walked into the yard just now and saw the light coming from the window of the villa. He was very happy, but after entering the door, he found that the small light in the hall was left by the housekeeper before leaving, and Huo Chengyuan himself hadn't come back yet.
Thinking of something, Ye Bai quickly took out his mobile phone and took a look, and sure enough, he found a message from Huo Chengyuan, saying that he would be back late tonight, and asked Ye Bai to eat first and not wait for him.
Going home late again...
Ye Bai's originally upbeat mood suddenly faded, he listlessly put the bag on the table, there were meals prepared by the housekeeper in the incubator in the kitchen, Ye Bai took some out, sat down at the dining table and began to eat dinner alone.
The room was so quiet that it was a bit lonely, Ye Bai turned on the TV in the living room, tuned a random variety show channel, and listened to the lively voices inside, he felt more comfortable.
Huo Chengyuan is very busy recently, and often comes back late. The affairs he is in charge of are concentrated on the interstellar channel. When encountering missions that require cruising, he has to travel for a day or two.In addition, Huo Chengyuan still needs to win over some forces secretly, and entertainment and other things are inevitable. He is so busy that Ye Bai feels that he hasn't sat down and chatted with Huo Chengyuan for a long time.
Ye Bai didn't think there was anything wrong before, because he was also busy training his abilities, and after dinner at night, he went into his room to continue researching the seeds, but today he was suddenly free, and immediately... feltMy heart felt empty, like something was missing.
After finishing dinner without taste, Ye Bai put the tableware into the dishwasher. After thinking for a while, he washed the bag of sweet fruits he brought back, put them into a beautiful fruit plate, and took them to the living room.
He doesn't need to go to Bai Xingwen's research room tomorrow, and it doesn't matter if he sleeps late today, so he wants to wait for Huo Chengyuan to come back, even if it's good to have supper with him.
The lively and funny variety show was still playing on the TV in the living room, Ye Bai leaned on the sofa, staring at the TV screen, but kept playing with the phone in his hand.
His fingers kept opening the dialog box with Huo Chengyuan, but then quickly closed it, repeated this several times, and finally Ye Bai threw the phone away.
No, no, Huo Chengyuan may be busy with business, so he can't just send messages to disturb him.
Ye Bai glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and found that only ten minutes had passed. According to past experience, Huo Chengyuan would have to wait at least a few more hours when he came back.
Ah, so boring.
The boy pulled the pillow next to him, stuffed his head in it, rolled a few times on the sofa, and finally lay down on his flat bed bored, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
He suddenly missed the time when he was Xiaohuaxian.
If he was still Xiao Huaxian, he could stay by Huo Chengyuan's side every step of the way, and it didn't matter if the other party was busy with business, he could hide in his pocket and not bother him quietly, and come out by himself when Huo Chengyuan finished his worktalk to him.
Ye Bai closed his eyes and tried hard, but found that there was still no sign of changing form.
It has been more than two months since he became human, but he has not been able to switch back to the little Flower Immortal form.Huo Chengyuan said that when he returned to the imperial capital in the future, he would ask the experts over there to check for Ye Bai to see what the reason was, but Ye Bai knew in his heart that there was a high probability that he would not be able to change back.
He was originally a human being, and the so-called "second form" may not exist at all. He just restored his original body, that's all.
Originally, Ye Bai thought this was good, he was originally a human being, and it was his wish to keep his human form, but now Ye Bai suddenly discovered that the human form is not all advantages, there are some things... Xiao Huaxian can do, but he himself cannot.
After letting his mind go blank for a while, Ye Bai sat up slowly, tidied up his messed up hair and clothes, and patted his face again to cheer himself up.
Huo Chengyuan must have been exhausted when he came back, he couldn't let his negative emotions affect him, he had to welcome him happily.
Ye Bai clenched his fist, he took out a sweet fruit from the fruit plate, inserted a straw and drank it.This kind of sweet fruit is a bit like a coconut. It can be directly intubated to drink the juice. After drinking the juice, the pulp can also be used for cooking and soup. It has many uses.
"Ah, it's so delicious!"
Ye Bai glanced at the fruit in his hand in surprise. As expected, it was improved by Bai Xingwen. The taste was even better than he imagined. It tasted sweet and not too greasy.The sweet fruit wine is much better.
Delicious fruits can heal the mood, Ye Bai smiled again, he seriously found a TV show he was interested in, and watched it with relish.
When Huo Chengyuan came back, it was almost midnight.
When he saw the lights in the living room outside, he thought they were just left on as usual, but when he opened the door, he heard the sound of the TV from the living room.
Is Little Ye still asleep?
Joy suddenly rose in Huo Chengyuan's heart. He quickly changed his shoes at the entrance, and when he walked into the living room, he found the boy lying on the sofa with his eyes slightly closed, his face flushed, and he looked unconscious.
"Little Ye!"
Huo Chengyuan was startled, and hurried forward to check. Just as his hand touched the other person's face, the boy's tightly closed eyelashes began to tremble slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Ah..." He seemed to be in a daze, and it took a long time to refocus his slack eyesight, and his voice was soft, "Ayuan... Ayuan, you're back."
Seeing that the boy was fine, Huo Chengyuan heaved a sigh of relief, he helped him up, and sat on the sofa himself.
"Little Ye, have you been waiting for me?" He lovingly stroked the boy's messy blond hair, "Sorry, I always come back late recently, you..."
Before he finished speaking, his hand was suddenly hugged by the other party, and then, the young man pressed over and wrapped him tightly like a koala.
"I, I miss you so much!" Ye Bai rubbed his head against the man's chest, pushing hard into the man's arms, "Ayuan, you ignore me...you ignore me! Do you not like me?"Already? Uuuuuuuuuu..."
Eh?
When the young man rubbed against him and acted like a baby, Huo Chengyuan smelled a faint smell of alcohol at the tip of his nose.
"Little Ye, have you been drinking?"
