Chapter 259 Lotus Mountain Sign-in
"Well, then the vegetables won't grow to maturity, and there won't be any seeds!" Nangong Jingming thought about the seed problem and asked with some concern.
He was not worried about buying a lot of seeds, but was thinking whether the seeds left in the space would be better and whether they could better adapt to the outside environment.
"Well, I really don't know about that!" Su Siyi also thought of his concerns.
"Sister, I have also asked about this. If you want to keep the seeds, just continue to water them with more spiritual spring water." Su Wenxin asked everything clearly.
"Really? That's great." Now all the problems are solved. She also wants to know whether the seeds left in the space can be planted outside and whether they can have a trace of spiritual energy. If so, people can plant them in large quantities to feed people across the country.
Su Siyi stood beside the lush green vegetable patch, her eyes gleaming with eagerness. She raised her hand and gently brushed away the hair that had fallen on her cheek. Her face was filled with longing and anticipation. She said crisply, "Then let's try to get some seeds and see what special things we can do when we plant them outside. We might discover something unexpected and wonderful, and perhaps even benefit everyone."
Hearing this, Su Wenying raised his wrist. The delicate watch shone with a cool, hard luster in the sunlight. He glanced at the time, which had already quietly slid towards dinnertime. He responded, "Okay, but it's really getting late now. Let's have dinner first. Tonight's dinner is all freshly picked vegetables from our fields. They are all natural, pollution-free, and very fresh. It's a pity that there is no meat. Sister, please use your magical powers to provide some spiritual meat so that everyone can have a taste of it."
"Okay, no problem." Su Siyi smiled and waved her jade hand lightly in the air. In a flash of light, dozens of pheasants and rabbits with bright feathers appeared on the ground. Some of them were already dead, but they remained in the state of just death.
Su Wenying looked at the large group of pheasants and rabbits in front of her, frowning slightly, with disapproval in her eyes. She smacked her lips and said, "Why are you taking so many? We can't finish all of them in one meal. What a waste."
Su Siyi waved her hand nonchalantly and explained, "It's not much, not much. Big Brother, just keep it. If you run out, just let me know! These are all earned by signing in. It's not difficult to get them, but the quantity is limited. If you want more, you'll have to buy them with points. But don't worry, even if you buy them with points, it's still excellent value and a great deal." She paused, her expression becoming serious, and continued, "Now I also regularly provide some spiritual meat to the country. The demand is huge, and I can't just rely on the few I signed in. I use points to purchase them in large quantities, so it can be considered as doing my part for the country."
Soon, Su Wenying directed the chef of the old house to busy himself with pots and pans. The aroma of food wafted in the air and dinner was ready.
Su Siyi took light steps and went to the place where everyone was practicing, calling out in a crisp voice to her companions who were immersed in their practice.
For a moment, the quiet space was broken, and everyone gathered in the restaurant with the joy and anticipation after training.
This time, Nangong Jingming was fortunate enough to be invited to the table. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and his eyes were full of joy and gratitude. He was so happy in his heart that he couldn't hide the smile on his face to be able to share this warm moment with everyone.
After the meal, Su Siyi waved her hand and led everyone into the mysterious jade pendant space.
Upon entering, it felt like stepping into another, tranquil world, a space thick with spiritual energy and a breath of tranquility and leisure. Everyone understood the message and formed groups of two or three, each finding a desired spot. Some sat cross-legged, closing their eyes to focus on their spiritual journey, while others fiddled with objects, delving into their deepest concerns, immersing themselves in the unique atmosphere of this magical world.
Su Siyi walked lightly to Nangong Jingming, tilted her head, her eyes sparkling, and said playfully, "Brother Nangong, let's get some seeds out. I've been wanting to see what it would look like if I planted them outside."
"Okay, let's do it." Nangong Jingming responded promptly with a gentle smile on his face. His tall figure standing next to the vegetable patch looked even more neat and capable, and he would certainly not disappoint Su Siyi.
The two walked to the vegetable patch, where the vegetables were growing thrivingly, their emerald green leaves shimmering with the nourishment of spiritual energy. They held specially crafted spiritual spring watering pots, and from the spouts of the pots, glittering, translucent spiritual spring water gurgled, like lively spirits, dancing and sprinkling over the vegetable plants.
A magical scene unfolded instantly. The already grown vegetables seemed to be infused with new vitality. Their stems visibly thickened again, and their leaves rustled as they rapidly grew thicker. Soon, delicate flowers sprouted, followed by abundant fruit. Seeing that the time was ripe, Su Siyi stopped watering and clapped her hands in satisfaction.
Nangong Jingming and Su Siyi then bent over and busied themselves, their fingers delicately and carefully gathering the seeds. With a flick of their fingertips, each plump, round seed, imbued with abundant spiritual energy, fell like obedient treasures into a pre-prepared bag. This meticulous work took them a full five days, but their hard work paid off. They finally gathered a large collection of various vegetable seeds, a hefty pile weighing approximately one pound.
"Brother Nangong, look, these seeds have finally been collected. I think they should be used for experiments. I really hope they can come in handy. If successful, the physical fitness of the people will be greatly improved, and we will have done a great thing for everyone." Su Siyi held the big bag full of seeds in both hands, her chest heaving slightly, her face full of pride, her eyes flashing with a fiery and determined light, as if she had already seen a beautiful picture of the future.
Collecting these seeds really took up a lot of their time and energy. Nangong Jingming and Su Siyi spent the whole day in the vegetable patch, hunched over, their eyes fixed on each vegetable, carefully judging the best time for the seeds to mature.
The spiritual spring water was watered one ladle at a time, the vegetables grew in waves, the seeds were picked one by one, the fingers were scratched by the stems and leaves, the waist and back ached so much that they could not straighten up, but no one complained about being tired or complaining about the hardship. In the quiet yet busy space of the jade pendant, they endured five full days before they collected enough seeds, which were heavy and carried so much hope.
"Well, that's enough." Nangong Jingming stood up and patted his waist. A relieved smile appeared on his face and his eyes were full of joy.
These seeds embody their days of hard work and carry the hope of improving the nation's physique. Now that the quantity has reached the target, it seems as if a beautiful vision of the future is beckoning them.
"Brother Nangong, can we let all twelve of them come into the space to practice?" Su Siyi raised her head, her eyes showing seriousness and expectation. Her hair was casually scattered beside her cheeks, making her eyes look brighter. She looked at Nangong Jingming with expectation.
"Siyi, I'm speaking from a personal perspective. I really don't want you to reveal this to anyone else." Nangong Jingming frowned, his expression solemn. His hands unconsciously clenched, and his voice deepened. "You know the secret of this space is too shocking, like a bombshell. Once it's leaked, who knows how many people with ulterior motives will covet it. I'm afraid someone will have ulterior motives and cause us endless trouble."
Su Siyi pursed her lips and spoke calmly, her eyes brimming with determination. "Brother Nangong, you should understand that this dimension protects its master, me, very closely. Anyone harboring ill intentions or wishing to harm me won't be allowed to even set foot inside. Even if someone manages to enter by chance, the rules of this dimension will prevent them from revealing anything about what's happening here. So, there's really no need to worry about safety. But right now, with just a few of us, while we're certainly capable, we're still too few in number. Facing the unpredictable storms and crises ahead, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it alone." She paused, her eyes gleaming with longing. "The time advantage of practicing here is obvious. One day inside is only an hour outside, which is equivalent to many times more practice time. With such excellent conditions, if we could bring in more companions, everyone's strength would increase dramatically, giving us more confidence to face the challenges ahead."
Nangong Jingming lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. After weighing the pros and cons, he slowly said, "Siyi, how about this? Let's report this matter to the senior leaders first and let them make the final decision. After all, this is a matter of great importance. If we really want to decide who to let in, we have to listen to the arrangements made by the higher-ups, which is safer."
"Okay, then after we find out which family is behind this, we will go back to City A to meet them and mention the matter of the space. With more people coming in, I will have more guarantees and feel at ease in the future." Su Siyi nodded in agreement, having already thought about the next steps in her mind.
"Yes, sure." Nangong Jingming agreed readily.
Outside the space, the night was as dark as ink, quietly passing by, and in an instant, dawn arrived. At dawn, Su Siyi stepped out of the jade pendant space, feeling exhausted and thinking of taking a short rest.
Just as I was dozing off, "Ding, please go to the foot of Lotus Mountain in City B to sign in. Time limit is three hours." The system's mechanical and cold reminder sound suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.
Su Siyi looked at the time, her eyes half bleary. It was only six in the morning, and sleepiness washed over her like a tide, leaving her head still groggy. But the mission was pressing, and there was no time to lose. She forced herself to get up, her fingers rapidly tapping on her phone screen, sending a departure notice to everyone.
