Chapter 308: Chapter 186: Revealed! The True History!

Professor Song’s research direction is not Spirit Plant cultivation.

But he is very aware of the difficulty in cultivating Spirit Plants to maturity.

It is well known that the growth of ordinary plants is influenced by factors such as light, water, temperature, environment, ventilation, and nutrients.

The growth conditions for Spirit Plants are even more stringent.

Just allowing Spirit Plants to break through the soil and successfully sprout is a major challenge.

But this is just the beginning.

During the subsequent growth process, a lot of details need attention, such as watering with pure water containing Water Energy, supplementing with abundant Spiritual Energy containing Wood Energy... every environmental factor is indispensable.

Yet even with all this, Spirit Plants are not guaranteed to mature.

Nowadays, various colleges and many enterprises have set up laboratories to research Spirit Plants, trying as much as possible to develop a high-efficiency, stable cultivation process.

But progress is slow.

So when Professor Song stood up and looked in the direction Zhang Yu pointed, he was momentarily stunned.

Tall, sturdy trees stood silently under the dim night sky, their outlines etched by the yellow light, and the courtyard filled with the rustling sound as the breeze passed.

Professor Song no longer paid attention to the Electric Flying Cat, his heart filled with excitement, walked swiftly forward.

Five mature Luminous Fruit Trees, one mature Blazing Fruit Tree, two mature Void Fruit Trees.

In addition, there were some twenty other fruit trees surrounding them from all sides, varying in height, yet resembling a quiet grove.

Professor Song opened his mouth, an expression of amazement on his usually calm face: "Is this a Spirit Plant cultivation base?"

Zhang Yu nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick.

A friend he knows cultivated a Level 2 Spirit Plant to maturity, which was enough to be seen as an outstanding student by teachers and the college.

But here?

An expanse of Level 2 Spirit Plants, along with two mature Level 3 Spirit Plants.

Is this truly a farm and not a Spirit Plant cultivation base? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Professor Song took a deep breath, turned to face Chen Yuan, his eyes shining with unprecedented excitement, and was about to speak when Chen Yuan spoke first: "Professor, I don’t intend to be a teacher."

"This time it’s not about being a teacher." Professor Song stared steadily at Chen Yuan, his voice firm, "Join us at the college as a professor."

"Our research department still lacks a professor specializing in Spirit Plant research."

Though Chen Yuan is still quite young, the Spiritual Energy Revival has brought a new societal landscape and new theoretical knowledge, so far only a few scholars have achieved much in Spirit Plant research.

Chen Yuan’s ability to mature these Spirit Plants himself undoubtedly qualifies him to be a professor.

In his astonishment, Chen Yuan still waved his hand: "Professor, maturing these Spirit Plants is not my achievement, it’s theirs."

Knowing his own circumstances, Chen Yuan thought he couldn’t possibly teach students using "system, skill points," right?

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Chen Yuan lightly tapped Twin Flower Concubine on the head, smiling warmly: "This child catalyzes these Spirit Plants every morning, never slacking off."

"And them." Chen Yuan gestured toward the layers of leaves, "A family of Wood Spirit Rats live within them, also helping with catalysis."

"Moreover."

Chen Yuan’s gaze leaped across the yard, landing on the Run Run Duck helping the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat catch Spirit Fish, smiling faintly: "Since the day the Spirit Plants were planted, Run Run Duck has tirelessly watered them."

"Their maturation is due to their efforts."

After saying this, Chen Yuan also glared at the Run Run Duck, shouting: "Duck, don’t scare the Spirit Fish!"

The number of Spirit Fish in the pond is quite limited, and Chen Yuan still hopes for their proliferation, they can’t be disturbed by Run Run Duck.

"Ah....."

Professor Song knew these explanations were merely Chen Yuan’s excuses, although Pet Beasts have their role, it was ultimately Chen Yuan coordinating everything, setting cultivation directions, and perfecting each aspect.

These Spirit Plants matured because of his diligent cultivation.

Professor Song could even imagine the scene: Chen Yuan waking up early daily, supervising Pet Beasts in their watering and catalysis, recording the growth status of Spirit Plants every so often, analyzing the detailed data...

When the growth condition of Spirit Plants is unimpressive, he would squat in the courtyard, frowning and sighing continuously.

When the growth condition of Spirit Plants is excellent, he would clap his hands and laugh aloud, dancing with joy.

Such talent, no, such a polymath, unwilling to advance his studies at the college and hold an important position, preferring to stay on this mountain, is a huge loss to Donghuang’s academic circle.

He seeks neither fame nor gain, such noble demeanor instead made Professor Song feel troubled.

Thinking about this, Professor Song sighed again and again.

Zhang Yu’s gaze at these Spirit Plants was even more professional than Professor Song’s, he walked around continuously, sometimes touching bark, other times looking up at branches, finally sighing deeply: "These Spirit Plants grow really well."

Not ordinarily well.

To describe them in one sentence: these Spirit Plants grew to maturity by adhering to the standard template nature provided, almost flawless.

These Spirit Plants seemed destined to grow this way.

But others’ cultivated Spirit Plants don’t grow like this, instead having tiny flaws in certain details.

Zhang Yu lowered his eyes, pondered for a long time, until he returned to Chen Wenhao’s side, then felt: "Senior, your brother’s cultivated Spirit Plants are too standardized, standardized to an astonishing degree."

"He definitely has the capability to join our college as a professor."

"In my opinion, it’s time to replace that old professor in the Spirit Plant Class, all he does is teach the definition, impact, and role of Spirit Plants, with barely any real substance, we have to refer to ancient texts for learning ourselves." Zhang Yu kept complaining.
