Chapter 98 - Perhaps, adopting her was the first of his mistakes (2)

At this very moment, Fang JunRong was inside of Jiang WenYu’s laboratory.

She didn’t even blink when she looked at Jiang WenYu. “You mean to tell me that you have already figured out ways to grow qixing (previously referred to as: phymatopsis trisecta) and qingxia?”

She had previously retrieved these two herbs from her dimension and had Jiang WenYu analyze their composition and see if he would be able to find any substitutes for them. She didn’t have high hopes on it, but thought she’d just give it a try anyway. She was prepared that this would be a long journey. She never would have thought that Jiang WenYu would be able to deliver her such great news in less than a month.

The Zhang’s in her previous life had totally taken this pearl as fish’s eyeball.

Wonderful. Now this pearl belonged to her!

With her looking at her that way, Jiang WenYu felt oddly embarrassed and felt that his ears were burning a little. With a slight blush on his face, he suppressed his peculiar emotion and refocused on the task at hand. He said to her seriously, “Yes, I have noticed that qixing and qingxia will survive if you place some gems around them and not die off in three days like they used to.”

Truth was, he only figured that out because of the jade that he had been wearing all the time. He had tried many different ways previously but neither the qixing nor the qingxia survived more than three days with the exception of the one that he brought around with him day in and day out studying it.

Jiang WenYu knew that his jade necklace had special abilities, so he took it off to research it some more. Sure enough, when the two types of plants were around his necklace, they would be able to survive. He continued with his experimentation and learned that it didn’t have to be his necklace, any other types of gemstones would work as well, though the effect wasn’t as significant. The higher quality the gem, the better the result. As to where Fang JunRong found these two plants from, he had no intention to ask.

He omitted the part about his own necklace when he recounted his experience to Fang JunRong.

After Fang JunRong had heard him, she had on her a big smile. She has no shortage of gemstones! She even bought a lot more right before the divorce just to mess with Li WangJin. Interesting how they became useful now.

She thought about it for a little bit and said, “We can try planting them in a field to test out your theory. Let’s just make sure we bury the gemstones way deep.”

Even if others could steal the plants, they wouldn’t be able to figure out the ways to grow them. She suspected that gems themselves possessed some sort of mystical qi. They may not be strong, but still enough to support these two types of plants. It would be a lot of investment at the beginning, but compared to the benefits that they would eventually reap, this was nothing.

“You have been working so hard lately. Thank you so much,” said Fang JunRong with her deepest sincerity. She decided to give Jiang WenYu a big raise.

Jiang WenYu, on the other hand, wasn’t too happy with his finding. Frowning slightly, he said, “Still not enough. They may be able to survive, but the active ingredients in them are of a lower quality and the final products also aren’t as good as yours.”

Fang JunRong felt a little bit ashamed of herself. All she could say was that Jiang WenYu had a higher standard than she did. All she wanted to do was to be able to mass produce the three types of medications, so they would benefit more people.

She remembered the white jade cream. Yunying (previously astragalus sinicus), required for the making of white jade cream, was also from the dimension. Perhaps, they could try to grow it using the same method.

She’d leave that to the professional. Fang JunRong had a lot of faith in Jiang WenYu on this matter.
