c1215: 1219: An Unexpected Gain (Part 1)

Gu Xiaoxian and Luo Susu were not little kids.

The two of them were top students at Jiangnan University; when it came to talent, there was absolutely nothing to complain about.

What’s more, what Lin Xi didn’t know was that both of them were ranked first in cultural subjects in their year.

So when Princess Consort Le taught them, it all felt very easy.

Basically, any bit of music theory she mentioned, they understood right away, not to mention they already had musical talent.

Lin Xi watched from the side for a while and felt it was really boring.

He greeted the three girls briefly, then left the room.

Of course, he didn’t leave the villa.

Instead, he strolled around the villa’s courtyard.

The last time he came, he’d already noticed the courtyard was full of potted plants and the like.

If you didn’t know the situation, you’d probably think the owner of this yard sold rare flowers and exotic herbs.

"This really isn’t ordinary!" Lin Xi swept his gaze around and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Thousand Worm Grass, Lily Leaf, Zhi Spirit Flower, Celestial Seeking Hemp, Exotic Tree....

These things were basically very hard to see.

Or rather, the bosses at flower markets had never seen them before.

It wasn’t that they didn’t exist on Earth.

On Earth, they had definitely existed.

It’s just that as Spiritual Qi gradually dried up, these things slowly disappeared.

After all, these things needed a certain amount of Spiritual Qi.

Of course, these things had some medicinal value, but they weren’t particularly precious.

In a Secret Realm, you could still find quite a lot of them.

But in the outside world, their medicinal value was actually very high.

Some mysterious secret prescriptions all required these things.

This was actually one of the important reasons why traditional Chinese medicine had kept declining.

"She knows medicine too?" Lin Xi thought to himself.

Otherwise, what was she cultivating these things for?

Besides, in the outside world these things simply couldn’t survive.

Yet now, they were growing very well.

So there had to be a reason.

With one glance Lin Xi swept over several corners, seeing the carved patterns and all sorts of strange symbols there.

"No wonder!"

"So there’s a small Spirit Gathering Array here."

But what was weird was that he actually hadn’t sensed it at first, and hadn’t felt any Spiritual Qi.

The next moment, he shook his head again.

No, that’s not right!

There was Spiritual Qi here.

It’s just that the degree of Spiritual Qi was something he directly ignored.

In other words, it was too thin.

He swept his gaze a few more times and found that these things were actually growing somewhat deformed.

If someone who didn’t understand looked, they’d probably think the owner did it on purpose, for the sake of aesthetics.

But Lin Xi understood these plants, so he knew that definitely wasn’t the case.

It was absolutely because the Spiritual Qi was too thin that this happened.

For example, if these potted plants were placed in a Secret Realm, their growth would be several times better than now, at least.

Still, it was rare enough as it was.

Being able to stay alive in such a thin Spiritual Qi environment was already something rare.

From this you could also see that Princess Consort Le must have spent a lot of effort.

"Hm?" Lin Xi suddenly froze.

What’s that?

He immediately walked into the densely packed potted plants.

He looked at a little tree about thirty centimeters tall, on which grew two green fruits.
