Chapter 2 Plant Characteristics

"Is this a system? No, I didn't hear any notification sounds. It's more like some kind of ability of mine."

With the experience of receiving the original owner's memories, Fang Chen easily processed this information. Then he thought calmly for a moment and decisively chose the storage feature.

Taking a deep breath, he let go of the moongrass in his hand and grabbed the weeds beside him.

Name: Evergreen Grass
Features: None

"Granted attribute - Moonlight."

Fang Chen thought about it in his mind and even recited it silently, with a slight tremor in his voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his magic power being consumed and injected into the evergreen grass in front of him.

Noticing this, he finally felt relieved.

Feeling that the transmission of magic power had terminated, Fang Chen quickly let go of the evergreen grass and touched it again.

Name: Moonlight Grass
Features: Moonlight
Moonlight: Absorb the power of moonlight and transform it into spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Moonlight grass was originally mutated from evergreen grass, and the two look exactly the same. After being endowed with moonlight properties by Fang Chen, it becomes the real moonlight grass.

"efficient!"

While Fang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he was also somewhat fortunate that he discovered his ability in time, otherwise he would be in trouble today.

Next, Fang Chen tried again and found that his ability could not work on multiple plants at the same time.

In other words, he could only use his ability on one evergreen grass at a time to transform it into moonlight grass. Fortunately, the cooling time of the ability was not long, only about one minute.

There were only twenty moon grasses planted on this acre of land, and the rest were evergreen grasses. It would only take twenty minutes to conceal the truth.

Fang Chen stopped hesitating and started to act.

After completing the transformation of the twentieth evergreen grass, his last bit of magic power was exhausted. But he could not rest at this moment. He had to pull out the withered moonlight grass and then plant the evergreen grass endowed with moonlight properties in its place.

After doing all this, Fang Chen sat on the ground with a tired face, but he could not hide the excitement in his eyes.

Not only because he successfully solved the problem caused by his own carelessness, but also because of his extremely extraordinary ability.

Evergreen grass and moonlight grass look exactly the same, but because of the additional moonlight characteristic, the former is worthless, while the latter costs hundreds of spirit stones per plant.

Of course, Fang Chen didn’t want to make money by selling moongrass, he had a grander plan.

According to the previous master's memory, the spiritual energy produced by one hundred moonlight grasses every day is almost the same as that of a first-level spiritual vein. Although the stability is still a little lacking, it is still easy to use it to open up dozens of acres of spiritual fields.

The great dream I just had may now come true.

Selling moon grass only relies on ability to become a high-level worker, while his plan is to become a landlord in one leap. The levels are different.

"When I reach the fourth level of Qi training, I will go to the mortal world to find a suitable place to be my landlord."

After setting this goal, Fang Chen waited for Li Ji and the manager to arrive.

The scorching sun gradually set in the west, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the spiritual field, giving the green field a layer of golden glow.

Under the setting sun, two figures slowly approached.

From a distance, Fang Chen saw Li Ji saying something to the manager beside him with a flattering look on his face. Due to the distance, he couldn't hear the specific content, but it was not difficult to guess from his expression and actions that he definitely didn't say anything nice.

But Fang Chen didn't care. He had used the time just now to eliminate all traces of the transplant. Even if the steward came to check, he wouldn't be able to see anything.

By then, even if Li Ji is eloquent, he will be able to deal with it with ease.

Soon, the steward, led by Li Ji, walked to the spiritual field.

"Master Steward, please take a look. These are the spiritual plants that Fang Chen is responsible for taking care of."

Li Ji pointed at the spiritual field with a cruel expression on his face, as if he had seen Fang Chen being punished.

However, when he saw the scene in the spiritual field clearly, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

The spiritual plants that should have withered were now full of vitality, even more energetic than when he came to provoke them just now. "How is this possible?!" Li Ji's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

The manager ignored him and walked straight to the edge of the spiritual field, carefully observing the condition of the moonlight grass.

As an experienced spiritual plant farmer, he could tell at a glance that the moonlight grass was in very good condition, even better than the moonlight grass in other spiritual fields in the market.

"Li Ji, didn't you say that all these moonlight grasses have withered?" the steward asked coldly, feeling relieved.

Moonlight grass is not an important asset to Lianyunfang City, but it is the most valuable spiritual plant under his management.

More importantly, a big customer came during the day and bought all twenty moongrass plants at once. That's why he hurried over when he heard Li Ji say there was a problem here.

"I, I don't know what happened either." Li Ji stammered, "When I left, the moonlight grass had already begun to wither..."

Suddenly, Li Ji seemed to have thought of something, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he said to the steward anxiously: "Sir Steward, this bastard must have seen me coming to tell you the news, so he used the evergreen grass as a substitute in a panic!"

"Li Ji, please stop spitting blood at me!"

Fang Chen also became angry and said, "Neither the previous master nor I have ever offended you. Why are you being so aggressive when we are both casual cultivators?"

Simply sick.

"Master Steward, you see he is really anxious. I must have been right!"

Seeing Fang Chen's reaction, Li Ji thought he had hit his pain point and became even more excited.

"Stop arguing. Evergreen grass and moonlight grass have always been mixed, making it difficult to distinguish during the day, but they are clear at night. Since the two of you are arguing, let's wait together."

The manager also came to take sides at this time, mainly because he was a little shaken. If Li Ji was right, he would suffer a great loss.

"Your Excellency is wise." Li Ji flattered Fang Chen first, then challenged him, "You will be dead by tonight."

"What should I do if you wrongly accuse me?"

Fang Chen was so angry that he laughed. Since the other party had offended him again and again, he was not going to tolerate it.

"Then I will deduct his salary for this month and give it to you as a reward. But if you really use evergreen grass to impersonate moonlight grass, I will make you pay for it."

The steward said this calmly, bringing the dispute to a temporary halt.

As night falls, the bright moonlight shines like the Milky Way.

Under the moonlight, the "moonlight grass" in the field began to emit a faint light, like little stars that were lit up, releasing spiritual energy outward.

Li Ji's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "How, how is this possible?!"

The steward looked at Li Ji coldly, "It seems that what you said is false."

Li Ji's face turned pale instantly, and he said in a trembling voice: "I, I don't know why this happened..."

"You don't know? Aren't you deliberately framing your colleagues?" The manager's tone became increasingly cold.

"I, I, I—"

Li Ji was speechless and could only bow his head and admit his mistake.

"Your salary for this month will be deducted in full." The steward said word by word, and then turned to Fang Chen, "Fang Chen, you did a great job this time. Here is your salary and reward for this month, a total of fifty spirit stones."

Fang Chen took the spirit stone and put it into his storage bag, secretly rejoicing in his heart. Then he looked at Li Ji's distraught look without any sympathy, only vigilance.

"Okay, now that the result is clear, you can go back first."

The steward didn't care about their thoughts and ordered the two men to leave.

Li Ji looked at Fang Chen deeply, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he left angrily.

Fang Chen stayed where he was.
