Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 1215: Chapter 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.

The impression the fruits gave was also pretty ordinary, nothing special at all.

And the little tree was placed in a corner, as if it wasn’t valued much.

"Spirit Dao Fruit!" he murmured.

He even reached out, wanting to touch it, but then thought of something and immediately drew his hand back.

According to legend, before a Spirit Dao Fruit is fully ripe, it cannot be touched.

Once it comes into contact with human breath, it will fall off immediately and wither in less than a minute.

And then it has no value at all.

But once it’s ripe, it would be of considerable help even to Lin Xi.

The help lay in enhancing Spiritual Power.

The stronger a person’s Spiritual Power, the smaller the danger when breaking through realms, and their comprehension of Cultivation Techniques and the like would greatly improve.

In short, the benefits were unimaginable.

Even the old man didn’t know how to increase Spiritual Power.

Or rather, from the information Lin Xi knew, other than a few rare treasures and strange fruits, the growth of Spiritual Power relied completely on luck, or on the occasional gain from breaking through a major realm.

"How does Princess Consort Le have something like this?" He steadied his mood.

Because even in a Secret Realm, he had never encountered one; he’d even asked Xiong Haitao before, and no one in the Secret Realm where his family lived had ever mentioned a Spirit Dao Tree.

Which showed that this thing was absolutely a heaven-sent treasure.

Its value was hundreds of times higher than those so-called heaven-and-earth treasures Lin Xi had mentioned before.

Or rather, their values weren’t even on the same level.

Just then, Lin Xi heard footsteps, and when he turned he saw Princess Consort Le walking over.

Seeing Lin Xi already deep within her potted plants, Princess Consort Le’s face flashed with a hint of panic.

These flowers and plants, to her, were like family to a girl who loves pets.

At the same time she also noticed that although Lin Xi had already gone deep inside, he hadn’t broken or damaged a single thing.

She immediately felt much more at ease.

"Come out, quickly!" She was still a bit nervous as she spoke.

Because to raise these things to this state, she had truly spent an enormous amount of effort.

Lin Xi didn’t say much and came out from among the pots at once.

The moment he stepped out, he could see that Princess Consort Le looked even more nervous.

She looked like she was terrified he would brush against a branch or leaf.

"How did you get in there?" Seeing that Lin Xi had already come out and hadn’t touched anything, she asked in some puzzlement.

If it had been anyone else, she would definitely have exploded by now.

Lin Xi smiled. "These flowers and plants all look so exquisite, and I’ve never seen them before, so I went in out of curiosity to take a look."

"You like these too?" A hint of surprise flashed across Princess Consort Le’s face.

Because young people of Lin Xi’s age, especially boys, rarely liked this sort of thing.

This was usually something you only had the mood, time, and patience for once you were a bit older.

In an instant, the displeasure she’d felt toward Lin Xi just now eased quite a bit.

At the very least, he was a fellow flower-and-plant lover.

It was understandable!

Besides, she hadn’t told him beforehand that he couldn’t go in or touch anything.

"Of course I like them!" Lin Xi said.

He was a Divine Doctor—mm, there was almost no illness he couldn’t treat.

In other words, he wasn’t like those quacks outside, all reputation and no substance; he could truly live up to the title Divine Doctor.

So he’d dealt with flowers and herbs a lot.

Naturally, he’d grown fond of them too.

Hearing his firm answer, Princess Consort Le’s eyes lit up.

The two of them then started chatting about this subject.

To their surprise, both of them were basically at a master level in this area of knowledge.

Princess Consort Le in particular felt like she had suddenly found a soulmate.

So someone who usually didn’t like to talk suddenly became eloquent and talkative.

It went on to the point that Gu Xiaoxian and Luo Susu couldn’t help coming over to look for them, and only then did it come to an end.
