“This matter is easily settled!”
Fang Lian promised, taking action personally.
He replaced all the water in the pond and cleaned the water pool once more.
The water that was taken out had been secretly stored by his orders and was
planted with normal rootless water grass.
After everything was set, Qin Niu tested the rootless water grass in the pond again, and everything returned to normal.
The drip irrigation and the spray no longer carried that kind of cold energy.
He found that the herb which was on the verge of dying began to slowly show
signs of recovery.
It was worthy of the Fang Family’s high-grade herb that had been carefully nurtured for hundreds of years; its vitality was stronger than imagined.
Qin Niu looked up at the moonlight spilling from the sky and sat down cross- legged next to the herb, beginning to cultivate the Everlasting Spring
Technique.
As time passed bit by bit, miraculous changes were happening to the herb in
front of him.
Its vitality was rapidly restoring.
By the time the moonlight faded, Qin Niu was still cultivating with his eyes closed.
Because he found that the mist sprayed out could also achieve the effect of rainwater. It could also allow him to absorb the power of water essence within, and convert it into the power of the Everlasting Spring Technique.
This was a great revelation for him.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.
The herb in front of him had already regained some vitality; the leaves below its waist had become smooth and full again, and they were starting to turn green.
At the tips of the leaves, new buds could be seen sprouting.
“Master Qin, you’re awake! This herb has regained its vitality under your care, and it’s truly heartening to see. Thankyou for your help to our Fang Family.”
Young Master Fang addressed him with a ‘you’.
Only extreme respect and gratitude would invoke such an honorific.
Qin Niu revived the herb, which was equivalent to saving the Fang Family, helping them resolve a significant crisis.
“I’m afraid it will have to be treated several more times before it’s fully healed.
For now, it has only begun to regain vitality.”
At this moment, Qin Niu wasn’t thinking about the thousand taels of Silver Money as a reward, nor about any credit; instead, he was thinking about how to save his own life.
Because he, a foreigner, had entered the Fang Family’s forbidden area and seen
all their secrets.
No one could guarantee that the Fang Family wouldn’t kill him to silence him.
“Might I ask Master Qin to stay a few more days with our Fang Family? Many master planters have tried to save this herb, all to no avail, only you identified the problem and managed to bring it back to life over a single night. You are the true master.”
Young Master Fang kept calling him ‘you’.
His attitude was also extremely respectful.
The five old ancestors of the Fang Family were cultivating with closed eyes, seemingly deaf to the affairs of the outside world.
Qin Niu didn’t buy their act; those five old fellows were probably listening with keen interest.
“I dare not claim to be a master. I have many matters to attend to at home, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay at the Fang Family. This herb has already regained some of its vitality. Treating it periodically will be sufficient; it doesn’t require daily treatment.”
He would never agree to reside in the Fang Family residence.
How foolish it would be to fully heal the herb, only to become disposable once
the Fang Family no longer needed him.
He couldn’t say for certain that the Fang Family would do this.
But one must always guard against others.
He would rather hold the heart of caution at all times than naively play the
gentleman.
