Back home, Wang Lun called Fang Yun, a good buddy in the same dormitory at the university.

After graduating, Fang Yun returned to his hometown to start a potted seedling breeding business, and he has always been in contact with him.

He chatted with the other party for more than ten minutes, and Fang Yun said that he would provide detailed information, including quotations, and send them to his mobile phone.

Soon, Fang Yun sent the potted plant information, and after Wang Lun received it, he decided to study it at night.

Now, he has one more thing to do.

Because he was going to Jiang Xiongfeng's house tomorrow to diagnose why the emerald phoenix wood bonsai couldn't bloom, Wang Lun decided to try in advance what effect Lingshui had on flowers.

He found a teacup, poured some spiritual water into it, and then took the teacup and walked to a row of cockscombs in the courtyard.

The afternoon heat had not yet subsided, and the flowers of the cockscomb were shriveled and listless, but after he poured a little spiritual water on them, the effect was immediate.

Then he went to the front of the house and found the morning glory, which also had drooping petals on a summer afternoon, but when a little spiritual water was on it, the effect was just as amazing.

Wang Lun has a bottom in his heart.

Back in the room, Wang Lun added some clean well water to the white jade bottle, so that there would be no shortage of spiritual water tomorrow.

On tomorrow's trip to Jiangfu, he believes that he can succeed.

In the evening, Wang Lun carefully studied the information sent by his old classmates until half past eleven in the evening, and finally determined the type of potted plants he wanted to plant.

The next morning, not long after Wang Lun had breakfast, the Cadillac that came yesterday came again.

Cao Fei, the driver with a strong breath, walked up to Wang Lun and said, "Mr. Wang, I am entrusted by my master to pick you up. ”

"Please Brother Cao, wait a minute, I'll pick up something. ”

Wang Lun returned to the room, took out a mineral water bottle that he had prepared, and then brought the white jade bottle down from the window.

He found that the spiritual water in the white jade bottle was almost one-third less.

However, compared to the last time, it was directly reduced by half, and this time it is significantly reduced.

But Wang Lun also knows that this is because the time of this placement is not as long as the last time.

If you wait until noon, the spiritual water will definitely be reduced by half.

Wang Lun was no longer surprised by the phenomenon that the spiritual water in the bottle had decreased.

However, this time, he saw a new change in the white jade bottle.

"Clouds, this is the pattern of clouds!"

Wang Lun found that under the blue pattern on the body of the white jade bottle, a little bit of a large cloud pattern appeared.

Judging from this, he immediately understood that the blue pattern that appeared before must represent the blue sky!

But what is the significance of the blue sky and white clouds that appear on the bottle?

To date, these patterns have not shown any magic.

"Could it be that when the bottle is all covered by patterns and forms a complete picture, the white jade bottle can be considered to have completed its evolution?"

Wang Lun couldn't help but guess like this.

"However, I haven't even figured out what the functions of the spiritual water made by the white jade bottle are yet, so I'm not in a hurry to see the white jade bottle complete its evolution. ”

Because Jiang Xiongfeng's driver was waiting outside, Wang Lun poured all the spiritual water in the white jade bottle into the plastic mineral water bottle, and then replenished the new water before going out.

He knew that it was not appropriate to use mineral water bottles to bottle spiritual water, and if the spiritual water left the white jade bottle, the spiritual energy would begin to drain, but he didn't think it would be completely drained within three or four hours.

Walking outside, he said to his parents and got into the car.

After nearly two hours of driving, the car entered Tan City.

Wang Lun is quite familiar with the city, after all, he is in the university of Tancheng College, Wang Lun found that the car drove towards the city center, and soon arrived at the "No. 1 Mansion" next to the Huatian five-star hotel.

Mansion No. 1 is one of the most expensive and luxurious high-end villa communities in the city.

Wang Lun had never been in it before, but now he is slowly passing by by car, and European-style single-family villas, artificial lakes, and white marble sculptures appear one by one, which is indeed luxurious and connotative.

Finally, the car entered a manor house covering an area of more than three thousand square meters and stopped in front of the lawn of the main villa.

Wang Lun got out of the car and followed the housekeeper to the wide corridor, which was surrounded by a beautiful white marble railing, and there was a large rectangular flower garden below.

In the hallway, Jiang Xiongfeng was talking to a man in his fifties wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a table in front of them and a bonsai on it.

When Jiang Xiongfeng saw him, he greeted, "Mr. Wang, please come over quickly." ”

Wang Lun approached and saw the bonsai clearly.

The flower pot used in the bonsai is a rectangular green jade pot with chiseled gold commissions, which is open at the top and constricted at the bottom, slightly bucket-shaped, and the belly of the pot has a convex Ruyi cloud pattern.

The main scene in the basin is phoenix wood, and there is a rockery carved with emeralds next to it.

Phoenix wood, emerald, seeing these two, Wang Lun knew that this was the emerald phoenix wood bonsai.

The name of this bonsai comes from the poem "The leaves are like the feathers of the flying phoenix, and the flowers are like the crown of the phoenix", and the flowers are especially beautiful when they are in full bloom, but now they have not bloomed when the flowering season has arrived.

"Mr. Wang, this is Professor Shao Yiyang, deputy director of the Municipal Institute of Botany, he is a well-known plant research expert in the province. ”

Jiang Xiongfeng seriously introduced this expert who was over half a hundred years old and had a rigid expression.

"Professor Shao, this little brother is Wang Lun, who is good at cultivating plants that I mentioned to you. ”

Wang Lun compared Jiang Xiongfeng with the difference between the two of them, and naturally knew that Jiang Xiongfeng was mainly Professor Shao today, and he didn't believe that he could have a way to make the emerald phoenix bonsai bloom.

In this regard, he also understands Jiang Xiongfeng's approach.

This is human nature, and Jiang Xiongfeng will obviously pay more attention to the invited plant experts than him.

Wang Lun took the initiative to extend his right hand to Professor Shao.

"Hello, Professor Shao. ”

"Hello. ”

Shao Yiyang shook Wang Lun casually with a little perfunctory, looked at the plastic mineral water bottle in Wang Lun's hand, and frowned slightly.

At this time, the maid brought the tea, and Jiang Xiongfeng said: "Mr. Wang, you drink tea, and I will tell you about bonsai." ”

With Jiang Xiongfeng's narration, Wang Lun also understood the problem of this bonsai.

The phoenix wood in the bonsai has been growing for 180 years, not to mention the rockery inlaid by emeralds, this phoenix wood alone can be called the living fossil in the phoenix wood, and the value is great.

This bonsai is very ornamental and collectible, and the total price can reach 10 million!

Jiang Xiongfeng is very fond of emerald phoenix bonsai, these years have been carefully cared for, in previous years in July phoenix wood will bloom, but this year's flowering period came, not only did not bloom, but directly shrunk, now one by one drooping downward.

After listening to this, Wang Lun observed the phoenix wood up close.

From the analysis of the color and shape of the leaves, and the softness of the cultivation soil, he can confirm that the phoenix wood is not affected by pests and diseases, and there is no nutrient deficiency.

Just as Wang Lun was observing, the bonsai was suddenly moved, and Shao Yiyang unceremoniously moved the bonsai to his side, completely as if Wang Lun did not exist.

Shao Yiyang didn't look at Wang Lun at all, pointed to the bonsai and said to Jiang Xiongfeng: "Master Jiang, I have already found out the reason why this phoenix tree can't bloom." ”

Wang Lun saw that this expert professor was so disrespectful, and he was angry, if it weren't for Jiang Xiongfeng's home, he would definitely have to talk to Shao Yiyang.

"Professor Shao, then speak quickly!"

Jiang Xiongfeng hurriedly urged.

Shao Yiyang said unhurriedly: "In fact, the normal lifespan of the phoenix tree is about one hundred and twenty to one hundred and forty years, and Jiang Ye, this phoenix tree of yours has grown for more than one hundred and eighty years, and it has reached the decay period, and it is extremely difficult to bloom again." ”

"It's time for decay?"

Jiang Xiongfeng looked puzzled, "But its leaves are still so lush, and its vitality looks very vigorous." ”

Shao Yiyang shook his head with a smile like a master.

Finding that Wang Lun was also listening, he also paused deliberately and did not immediately say the reason.

He hates Wang Lun, what kind of person is he, the deputy director of the Municipal Institute of Botany, an expert at the level of a full professor, with very deep qualifications, he was invited here to solve problems, then he alone is enough, but Jiang Xiongfeng also invited Wang Lun, a hairy boy, to come over, which is tantamount to insulting his identity.

Therefore, he naturally despised Wang Lun and did not have a good face.

Anyway, he is just a young man with no academic achievements, and he has the qualifications to despise Wang Lun.

After a pause, Shao Yiyang spoke: "It's not like this, you see that this phoenix tree is still growing vigorously, but this is only the surface, in fact, its inner has changed." ”

"I'll make an analogy, just like a person, as soon as the age comes, the physiological cycle in the body will change significantly, aging will start on the inside, and then it will be reflected on the outside, and the same is true for this phoenix wood, which will quickly decay in another year or two. ”

Jiang Xiongfeng couldn't hide the disappointment on his face when he heard this, and asked, "Professor Shao, is there a way to stop it?"

"Nope. The life cycle of any living thing cannot be reversed, this is the iron law of science. ”

Shao Yiyang said categorically.

"Then will the phoenix tree still bloom this year?"

Jiang Xiong's style cares about this outside.

Shao Yiyang shook his head directly: "It will definitely not be able to bloom, Jiang Ye, with all due respect, it is useless for you to invite anyone." ”
