Chapter 469: Chapter 253: Returning from Learning the Arts, Never Anticipated_2

"I will have the food company continue to search for seeds, and Mrs. Yang will also keep an eye out for us, even calling in some rare seeds from various major seed banks."

Zheng Fa nodded his head.

Indeed, this matter really depended on the nation...

However, if we can’t find the right species, there is still hope in the Xuanwei Realm.

The modern world and the Xuanwei Realm are ultimately different, with many species exclusive to Xuanwei.

Perhaps the plants suitable for cultivating Fusang Wood, which cannot be found in the modern world, might exist in Xuanwei?

Even...

Zheng Fa suddenly had an idea: Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots are precious, but could they have close relatives?

If one could find a close relative of the Fusang Wood, would the outcome be different?

That said, the hope might still lie with the Xuanwei Five Sects—if the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots truly have a close relative, it would probably be a rare Spirit Plant.

The most likely to know this information would be the Xuanwei Five Sects.

"The third issue is environmental, such as the density of Spiritual Energy being insufficient to sustain the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots."

After Tang Lingwu summarized, everyone felt the problem could indeed lie in these three aspects.

Old Man Bai glanced at Zheng Fa and suddenly said, "Zheng Fa, you don’t seem worried at all?"

"Not worried," Zheng Fa said with a smile, "Research always comes with its challenges."

"You were quite frantic a few days ago," Old Man Bai muttered.

...

Zheng Fa was indeed not worried.

He couldn’t cultivate Fusang Wood, but the issue was... he thought of another technique.

Having returned from his studies, Zheng Fa called Zhang, Master Pang, and Master Qian to his courtyard—in the Jiushan Realm.

"Cell dedifferentiation?"

After hearing Zheng Fa out, Master Qian scratched the back of his head, his face clearly saying—how did I not think of that!

Zheng Fa first thought of cloning while discussing it with Mrs. Tian.

Simply put, plant cell dedifferentiation means leveraging the totipotency of plant cells, placing some root tip cells or leaf cells in a culture dish, and using various hormones and nutrients to convert them into undifferentiated cells capable of developing into a whole plant.

To put it more plainly, using a single leaf to cultivate an entire plant!

"Are you talking about... Qingjing Bamboo?"

Master Pang’s voice was small, his tone even trembling slightly as if he feared his words might carry.

Seeing this master, Zheng Fa noticed his face flush, and his eyes filled with imagination.

Even... Zheng Fa could hear Zhang’s breathing getting heavier.

It was evident she too felt some agitation.

"Exactly... I don’t know how different Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots are from ordinary plants, but as long as their cells also possess totipotency..."

"Can’t cultivate Fusang Wood, Qingjing Bamboo, wouldn’t it also suffice?"

Zheng Fa said with a smile.

This was the reason why he suddenly wasn’t so worried; perhaps cultivating Fusang Wood was too difficult.

But Qingjing Bamboo, that was much simpler!

"Qingjing Bamboo... suffice?"

Master Pang’s face twitched at the corners of his mouth, if Cheng Kong Master heard this, he’d cry!

Seeing the three’s excited expressions, Zheng Fa instead poured cold water:

"There are two difficulties here, first, how to achieve plant dedifferentiation."

This technology is certainly mature in the modern world.

But in the Jiushan Realm, it’s only just beginning, and it had been achieved before but wasn’t thoroughly researched, Master Qian just felt it was the effect of spells.

"The second most important—can Qingjing Bamboo be cultivated this way?"

Zhang calmed down slightly and said,

"Then why not do both, Fusang Wood and Qingjing Bamboo."

"At least we have Qingjing Bamboo, the likelihood of cultivation has increased a lot!"

Hearing this, Master Pang could not help but sigh:

"When you said you wanted to borrow Qingjing Bamboo, I didn’t understand, didn’t think it was worthwhile, but now, it seems too valuable!"

"Zheng Fa, did you plan this all along?"

Master Qian, hearing this, looked at his Sect Leader with reverence...

Indeed, he did not think of it, or realized the technology, but the Sect Leader certainly remembered!

The choices the Sect Leader made seemed to others a big loss, but who could have imagined, it might bring back a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root?

Zheng Fa, hearing this, did not speak and only showed an expression of having everything under control.

Zhang glanced at him, pursing her lips as if holding back a smile.

...

Atop Tongming Mountain, Master Cheng Kong couldn’t laugh but looked distraught.

"What do you think I should mention to Zheng Fa?"

Another Master Tongming beside him sighed and asked: "Is the chief really coming in half a month?"

"Yes! It has already been communicated within the sect, at most half a month!"

"Divinity Transformation is ascending so soon?"

"Master... is Qin Mu’s master..."

Master Tongming understood.

The intention of Master Cheng Kong was clear—this chief of Supreme Dao coming this hastily was not just for the tasks of the sect but also for personal grievances.

Netherworld Immortal Qin Mu is a traitor of Supreme Dao.

This inrush of the chief was naturally to settle this grievance.

"Do you think you can take back that Qingjing Bamboo?"

Master Cheng Kong nodded gently, the distress on his face unabated: "I lent out Qingjing Bamboo, the elders in our sect definitely won’t allow it, and if my master arrives and finds Qingjing Bamboo in Zheng Fa’s possession..."

"I might face some punishment."

"Zheng Fa will be in big trouble."

Master Tongming was stunned and said: "This chief, is he difficult to deal with?"

"I of Supreme Dao always have been willing to accept disciples from outside our own, you know that."

Master Tongming of course understood; he was one of them.

"But there are some now who think differently, first, the decline of Spiritual Energy is approaching, and our Supreme Dao has fewer resources."

"Additionally, in the Pocket World, there are many from our Supreme Dao Sect; naturally, some are unhappy with embracing outsiders."
