Chapter 525 (2/2)
Only the slave masters in King City liked the vegetable so much to use a large plot of their land to plant it. Hence, they were the only ones that had the seeds of that plant on that side of the sea.
These cabbages didn’t seem like the same kind the tribes here had, it also was quite different from the ones the slave masters had although they were similar. Up until now, Shao Xuan had never seen anywhere that had this type of large cabbage.
The small tribe that lived here had some agriculture going on in this rather flat terrain. It’s rather likely they left some crops here.
Could the three Ji family members have spread the seeds around the area before they left this world?
Did the two similar plants breed together and form a superior gene?
Was this the truth or was Shao Xuan overthinking?
It would take forever to get a satisfactory result from artificial cultivation, even the crops they had in the tribe now had to be carefully selected to breed for a few generations.
Right then, Shao Xuan was looking at the perfect mixture of two species from two different sides of the sea. It has the best characteristics from both sides, the ultimate strain with the best adaptability.
This cabbage didn’t spread upwards as the traditional ones do, its leaves curled like a ball instead.
This cabbage had all its leaves curled into an oval other than the few larger side leaves.
Whether it was a mixed breed or it evolved into its current form, Shao Xuan was very satisfied with his discovery.
But was it edible?
Shao Xuan decided it take one back just to test around,
Shao Xuan swung his sword at the original large cabbage he saw. The few outer leaves looked too old and caused the otherwise perfect oval to be inconvenient to pack so Shao Xuan cut those off too.
The large ball of vegetable that was taller than him was quite heavy, which meant the leaves were packed tightly together. Shao Xuan was happy to know that if this plant was edible, it could be a good crop for the tribe.
He moved the cabbage back to the cave on this shoulder. He suddenly remembered he left something and went back for the flying squirrel.
Shao Xuan was only greeted with a thoroughly bitten rope. It probably got away when Shao Xuan was looking for the cabbages. The flying squirrel must have healed quite a bit to have the energy to escape.
The Veins of the Sky nearby didn’t have any bite marks which meant the flying squirrel didn’t notice them. Well, without looking at the roots the Veins of the Sky looked like any other plant there.
Robber Eleven and Robber Twelve would have never thought the real treasure was the boring plant next to the cave. After all, who would randomly throw their “treasures” to the ground?
Shao Xuan covered up his trees and placed the neatly wrapped Vein of the Sky in his animal skin bag. After getting some more large leaves and straw rope to tie the cabbage, he left.
Shao Xuan didn’t plan to do much to the area then as was the only one there. He needed a lot more help to move the large Vein of the Sky if he wanted to plant it in the tribe.
Other Veins of the Sky and cabbages were precious too, so Shao Xuan would order some tribespeople to take all of them back to the tribe.
The guards were on high alert in the tribe after the chase yesterday.
They saw a suspicious figure carrying a huge ball on their shoulders. They were ready to attack but immediately dropped their weapons to greet the figure when they knew it was Shao Xuan.
They had no idea what he was carrying but it must be something special for him to personally carry it back.
The guards weren’t the only ones curious about that unidentified object, anyone that saw Shao Xuan was curious too. The ball was large so it was hard to ignore.
