Chapter 239 - 239 Flourishing
239 Flourishing
“Okay!” Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao laughed and looked excited and hopeful. “Let’s go and pick the tea leaves!”
The patch of tea trees was located a bit over halfway of the mountains, and the team, who was used to walking in the mountains, reached the place almost an hour later, since the mountain was so large.
Qiao Xuan had already sensed the scent of tea when they were very far away. She felt even more motivated.
Equipped with the superpower, she was well connected with plants in this world, and she was even more sensitive towards things which were extraordinary.
As they went closer to the tea woods, Shao Yunduan could smell the scent of tea as well.
“It smells so good!”
“Yeah, it is so good!”
Before Qiao Xuan could say anything, everyone else already understood that it was a good thing in front of them.
Apart from the two ancient, large tea trees, there were some middle-sized ones as well as small sprouts everywhere on the ground.
Both Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao were good at climbing trees, and they prepared to go up.
“Fifth Sister-in-law, are there any rules to pick the tea leaves? Just the tip will do, right?”
Qiao Xuan nodded. “Yes, don’t get too much of the stem. Two tender leaves should be enough.”
The two of them nodded and went to the top of the trees.
Qiao Xuan smiled at Shao Yunduan. “Let’s go and get them!”
Shao Yunduan nodded.
They had some rug bags with them as they went into the mountains, and they came handy now.
The leaves were not very heavy, and those two large bags should be enough.
Back-facing the others, Qiao Xuan pinched a small tea tree sprout and tried to stuff it into the space.
“…” Qiao Xuan’s eyes sparkled as she realized what happened.
It went in!
It seemed that the tea trees which she could not name were really precious things!
Qiao Xuan brought some more trees to space.
The spring became increasingly flourishing.
They started to head home after getting two bags full of tea leaves.
The tea leaves seemed like precious things, so the trip was worth it, though they never got any prey.
Qiao Xuan got them to dig some more arm-sized tea tree sprouts and tied them together, so they could take them home.
Soon, they ran into another patch of small tea woods.
The tea wood was much smaller than the first one they saw, and apart from one ancient tree, there were some other mid-sized ones. The sprouts were everywhere, growing in the shadow.
The trees probably could not grow well due to the lack of sun then oxygen.
The tree looked quite special too. The trunk and twigs were purple whilst the leaves were dark green, and the new sprouts were tenderly red.
They could smell the scent of roses as well as herbs.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao, who had no idea about tea, could not help but praise. “It smells so good!”
They did not want to leave like this. So they paused and started to pick some more.
Qiao Xuan delivered some more tree sprouts into the space, which accepted them as well.
She got seven or eight pieces into space, and suddenly, she could tell that her superpower had been expanded. More importantly, the mist around the small wooden house was diminished to some degree.
Surprised, Qiao Xuan glanced about and without letting Shao Yunduan see her, she pushed some more tree sprouts into the space.
