Xiao Ping put the last pearl oyster that received the seed pearl into the seawater seed, watched it slowly sink to the bottom of the sea, and couldn't help muttering: "Go ahead, go on, hurry up and help my buddy produce pearls!"

Xiao Ping had high expectations for these pearl oysters. Don't look at the overwhelming number of artificially cultivated pearls now, especially the number of freshwater pearls is more, and the price is too cheap to understand. But if there are really high-quality pearls, the price is still very expensive. Xiao Ping checked on the Internet and found that last year, a necklace made of 63 pearls with a diameter of 10 to 16 millimeters sold for a whopping $7 million. In an environment like the Demon Refining Pot, it is undoubtedly expected to cultivate the best pearls, so that the pearl oyster can create a lot of wealth for Xiao Ping.

In addition to pearl oysters, Xiao Ping was also very concerned about the four thousand abalone fry. After only a few days, the abalone fry are noticeably larger. If it continues to grow at this rate, many two-headed abalone or even one-headed abalone will be on the market before the chūn festival.

Although Xiao Ping raised both abalone and pearl oysters in the sea, he was not worried about the two shellfish affecting each other. Abalone feeds on seaweed that clings to the reef, while pearl oysters feed on microorganisms in seawater, and both need different foods, so they avoid competition with each other, but both can grow well.

Xiao Ping stayed in the sea for a while, very satisfied with the growth of pearl oysters and abalone, and returned to the beach with a smile on his face.

Before leaving Nanhai City, Xiao Ping bought a lot of coconuts from a local fruit stall and buried them in the beach and grass. After watering the spring a few times, all the coconuts have sprouted. It's half a person tall now. It is believed that it will not be long before tall coconut trees will grow on the beach, adding a beautiful scenery to the demon refining pot.

Xiao Ping poured some spring water on the coconut sapling, and then sat next to him and continued to carve the emerald leaves, which were almost finished. After a lot of observation and pondering, Xiao Ping no longer needs to paint gourds in front of small trees in order to carve them like before. The various forms of leaves have been imprinted in his heart, and Xiao Ping only needs to follow the impression in his heart. It can also carve the emerald leaves vividly.

In Xiao Ping's opinion, this is just a manifestation of practice makes perfect, but he didn't expect that in fact, he had to carve the leaves from the small tree to the process of carving leaves as long as he followed the impression in his heart. It shows that he and the demon refining pot are becoming more and more connected. If this development continues, the demon refining pot will one day be completely controlled by Xiao Ping.

The demon refining pot is a treasure of the ancient immortals, and its role is far more than just growing vegetables and raising cattle. Right now, it's just because Xiao Ping can't fully control the demon refining pot. to be able to tap into more of its magical abilities. Only when Xiao Ping completely takes the demon refining pot for himself can he fully exert the ability of this treasure.

Of course, Xiao Ping at the moment couldn't think of it that far, he just carefully carved the jade leaves in his hand. Song Lei's birth is about to arrive, Xiao Ping has not forgotten that he promised Xiao Pepper that he would prepare a raw gift for her personally, and this jade leaf is undoubtedly the best choice.

The knife in Xiao Ping's hand flexibly carved on the jade leaves that had been basically completed, leaving a few shallow but very clear marks on the surface of the leaves. These notches outline the direction of the last few leaf veins, making the whole jade leaf a little more vivid, and the carving of the jade leaf is officially completed.

Although this is only Xiao Ping's first carving work, it is because he put all his jīng effort into carving. Because of this, the connection with the Demon Refining Pot has been deepened, so this leaf is also carved vividly, and if you don't pay special attention, it is likely to be regarded as a real leaf. Of course, there is also a bit of a difference between emerald leaves and real leaves. That is, it is greener and purer. There is a faint sense of transparency throughout the leaves, and you will never find such a leaf in nature.

Xiao Ping looked at his work carefully, and just by the smile on the corner of his mouth, he could tell that he was very satisfied with the jade leaves. However, although the leaves of this tree are carved according to the leaves of the small tree by the spring, and they are also ninety percent similar in appearance, Xiao Ping always feels that something is missing. He secretly compared the two for a long time in his mind, and finally found the difference between the two—the leaves of the small tree always exude a faint aura. And although the leaves carved from jadeite are just as beautiful on the outside, they don't contain the slightest aura, and the feeling is much worse.

Xiao Ping thought for a while, took out the red rope that had been prepared a long time ago, and threaded it on the small hole at the petiole, and then came to the spring and dipped the jade leaves in the spring.

Xiao Ping's idea is very simple, since the spring water can turn ordinary vegetable seeds into emerald vegetable seeds, it means that it contains sufficient aura. Soak the emerald leaves in the spring, and you should be able to absorb some aura. When the emerald leaves are taken out, they will look even more like the leaves of a small tree than they do now.

"It's going to work. Looking at the jade leaves soaked in the spring, Xiao Ping muttered to himself: "The first one is finished, and the next one is ...... At least two more pieces to carve. ”

Xiao Ping's idea is very simple, he can't favor one over the other to the three confidants. Since Song Lei carved a jade leaf, Li Wanqing and Zhang Yuxin must have it. Otherwise, when facing them in the future, Xiao Ping would definitely feel uneasy.

Xiao Ping has always been a doer, and since he thinks of it, he will do it immediately. Fortunately, although the jadeite brought back from southern Yunnan last time is not large, it is enough to carve a few leaf pendants. Xiao Ping cut a piece from the jadeite rough and began the work of carving the second jadeite leaf.

In Xiao Ping's opinion, carving jade leaves was just a means to make confidantes happy, and he didn't expect that doing so would also have the effect of deepening the connection with the demon refining pot. After he carved a few jade leaves, his perception of the various abilities of the demon refining pot would be raised to a higher level.

Of course, Xiao Ping knew that jade leaves could not be carved in a day. Carving jade leaves requires a full set of jīng gods, and with Xiao Ping's current ability, it is not easy to gather jīng to carve for about half an hour every time. This time, after more than twenty minutes of carving, he began to feel dizzy and his eyes were blurred. Xiao Ping knew that this was a manifestation of jīng's divine power overdraft, so he had to stop the carving knife he planted and ended today's carving work.

It was not the first time that Xiao Ping had carved jade leaves, and he had been prepared for this situation, so he picked up the peach that had been washed and gnawed it. This peach is planted in the demon refining pot of the peach tree, not only tastes very good, but also has the effect of soothing fatigue and restoring the jīng god. After each carving, Xiao Ping will eat two to help him recover his strength as soon as possible.

After eating the peaches, Xiao Ping threw the peach pits on the grass by the river as usual. According to previous experience, the peach pits will soon grow into peach saplings, and by the time autumn comes, the size of the peach orchard on the farm will be much larger.

Xiao Ping washed his hands by the river, and then left the demon refining pot. It was nearly midnight outside, but Xiao Ping, who had just come out of the demon refining pot, had not yet felt the slightest sleep. So he casually went to the living room downstairs, turned on the large 80-inch TV, flipped through the channels at random, and planned to go back to the bedroom to sleep when he felt sleepy.

There were no good TV programs in the middle of the night, Xiao Ping was a little bored and changed the channel one by one, and when he changed to the provincial TV station, he saw that the midnight news of the province was being broadcast inside.

The beautiful and dignified hostess with a professional smile on her face and her voice clearly broadcast a piece of provincial news: "According to this station, this year's orchid exhibition will be held in the provincial capital this weekend." The orchid exhibition brought together more than 2,000 rare orchids at home and abroad, attracted more than 600 professional orchid cultivation experts, and it is estimated that more than 200,000 citizens will visit the orchid exhibition in one week. At the same time, this year's orchid exhibition will also carry out a special orchid auction, last year's chūn orchid was sold for a high price of 12 million, can this year's orchid show break this record? Let's wait and see......

"Yes, why did I forget about the orchid exhibition?" Xiao Ping remembered when he saw this news, and there were still two orchids planted in the demon refining pot.

Although these two orchids were dug from Baiyun Mountain behind, they had been planted in the demon refining pot for several months. Xiao Ping believes that this period of time is enough time for ordinary orchids to change dramatically and become a very precious orchid species. He plans to dig up all the orchids and plant them in pots by the end of the week, and then try his luck at the orchid show. Of course, the premise of this is that the orchid is not eaten as a snack by the group of calves, otherwise Xiao Ping can only cry out in vain.

Xiao Ping's luck was good, and when he entered the demon refining pot the next day to check, he found that the two orchids planted under the big oak tree were still alive. What made him even happier was that both orchids had already bloomed. The light green flowers were inconspicuous among the green leaves of the orchid and the equally verdant meadow, and if he hadn't accidentally seen the news of the orchid exhibition on the news, Xiao Ping would have really forgotten about them.

This time, Xiao Ping also came prepared, and deliberately found two plastic flower pots in the farm, planning to take the orchids out of the farm. Xiao Ping dug up the orchid along with the surrounding soil, and then planted it directly in the pot, casually spread the soil in the pot, and then poured a little spring water to complete it.

If Xiao Ping's situation of planting orchids fell into the eyes of those orchid experts, he would definitely say that he didn't know how to grow orchids at all. Orchids need a mud pot with good ventilation, and the soil in the pot should also be piled up in the shape of a steamed bun, and it is best to spread a layer of cloud grass on the surface of the soil to protect the root system of the orchid and prevent the soil from being washed away by water. Which orchid grows like Xiao Ping, planting orchids in plastic pots and casually spreading the soil in the pots? This makes people know at a glance that Xiao Ping is a layman.

However, Xiao Ping didn't know this, and seeing that the weekend was coming, he rushed to the provincial capital with two pots of orchids to participate in the orchid exhibition.
