Chapter 1752: Blackjade Coralplum (1/2)
The servants stopped what they were doing to greet Jiang Chen They had been told by their superiors that Jiang Chen was a surveying expert, here to canvass Cloud Camel Mountain He had free access to the elder’s manor Someone like him naturally warranted their respect
Once inside, Jiang Chen asked, “Is the elder here today?”
“Yes, he hasn’t left theChen nodded and made his way to Yan Wanjun’s residence With the pass and the elder’s explicit order, the servants let Jiang Chen enter without a word and nodded at hi Chen observed the unusual about their expressions
Unlike Yan Wanjun, he wasn’t as optiet the elder Yan Wanjun’s actions ered the patriarch No patriarch could stand having a venerated elder steal his thunder and disobey him in public
The patriarch ainst Yan Wanjun before to avoid disrupting the order of the fa the others, but here in Cloud Caoat Not only would Yan Wanjun’s death not disrupt the fa to band together behind
That wasChen believed that they couldn’t let their guard down
Even if House Yan didn’t make a move, House Xiahou wouldn’t be able to resist retaliation It was against their nature to take the public hu
Jiang Chen had also hinted at the possibility before With doubt in his mind, he entered Yan Wanjun’s residence The elder was in the garden tending to soood mood
He’d cultivated the herbs personally It was evident that he’d put in a lot of care into the garden He sChen nodded as he approached the elder, his nose twitching subconsciously and his gaze sweeping over the garden
Yan Wanjun was puzzled by his unusual behavior “What are you looking for, young htly “Did you plant all of these yourself, Elder Wanjun?”
“I did,” Yan Wanjun responded with a laugh “But it’s probably undeserving of your attention”
Jiang Chen’s talent in pill dao surpassed even that of Master shi+ Xun Yan Wanjun would never question his expertise
The youth’s gaze settled on one of the herbs He considered it carefully with a thoughtful expression “Elder Wanjun, did you plant the Blackjade Coralplum yourself as well?”
Yan Wanjun chuckled “You have keen eyes, young man How did you know that I didn’t plant it?”
“Every spirit alchenature method and style The Coralplum clearly stands out from the other herbs It’s not that difficult to tell”
“You’re incredible,” praised Yan Wanjun “How can you tell such nuanced differences? Personal signature? Is it really that obvious?”
He found it hard to believe In his eyes, the Coralplum looked just like any of the herbs he’d planted Could a y?
Instead of boasting about his ability, Jiang Chen considered the plant carefully with his brows furrowed before looking around the garden After a good while, he asked quietly, “Elder Wanjun, may I ask you where the Coralpluravity of the issue yet He s man Hoould you describe the style in which the herb was cultivated?”
“It’s difficult to describe in a feords,” Jiang Chen said faintly “But it’s different from your method”
The fact that the Coralplum was cultivated by someone much more skilled than Yan Wanjun was left unspoken That wasn’t Jiang Chen’s focus, anyways
Yan Wanjun laughed in delight “You’ve finallyChen didn’t look even slightly surprised He knew he couldn’t have made a mistake That wasn’t in the realm of possibility
Yan Wanjun smiled “I don’t mean to offend you, but this plant wasn’t cultivated by man It was found deep in the mountain this couple of days by a senior executive stationed here He knows that I like planting herbs, so he gifted it toThis Coralplu Chen s that since the herb’s grown in nature, there isn’t a cultivation process to begin with?”
“That’s right” Yan Wanjun sighed “So you’re hu Chen shook his head “I didn’tobservation The proble, Elder Wanjun”
His expression turned grave as he looked at the Coralpluift from a senior executive here, Elder Wanjun?”
