Chapter 31. Ascension Pond
"Big brother, this pot of kumquat is an ornamental kumquat I bought from the flower and bird market, how about you taste it?" Li Rui took Li Qiang to the small courtyard, directly picked a kumquat and handed it to Li Qiang.
"Can you eat this thing?" Li Qiang suddenly asked suspiciously.
"I can't eat it, this kumquat is sour, astringent and bitter, and it's very unpalatable! I've eaten it before. Big brother, this pomegranate is delicious, and I promise, this is definitely the best pomegranate I've ever tasted. At this time, Li Qian suddenly appeared in front of the two of them with a big pomegranate.
In fact, Li Qian had seen this kumquat a long time ago, if she hadn't eaten this kumquat before, she would have tasted it a long time ago, but Li Qian didn't eat the kumquat, but picked a pomegranate and ate it, and she was conquered by the pomegranate at that time.
"Hehe, that's someone else's kumquat. Taste my improved kumquat! Li Rui said unashamedly, and at the same time picked a few kumquats and handed them to Li Qian.
"Is this really edible?" Li Qian was still skeptical.
"Pomegranates are delicious, aren't they?" Li Rui asked directly.
"It's delicious, it's delicious! Second brother, when I go home, you must pick more for me and bring it back, and I want our parents to taste it. As soon as she mentioned pomegranates, Li Qian's eyes immediately began to glow.
"Don't worry, I'll pick you more when you leave. Now I tell you that the pomegranate from this pomegranate tree was not very tasty and a little sour, but now that it has been improved by me, you can see that it has become what it is now! Li Rui directly took all the credit for Heavenly Court Earth on himself.
"Really?" Li Qian questioned again.
"Well, yes, really delicious! Sweet as honey, and plenty of juice. However, Li Qiang put the kumquat into his mouth very neatly, and then saw his expression change suddenly.
"Ahh It's delicious, it's so delicious! Second brother, I still want to eat! Li Qian didn't hesitate anymore after Li Qiang tried the law, and when she ate the first kumquat, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"If you want to eat, pick it yourself, I still have something to discuss with my eldest brother!" Li Rui no longer paid attention to Li Qian, and returned to the living room with Li Qiang again.
"Xiao Rui, this ......!" As soon as he entered the living room, Li Qiang looked at Li Rui with excitement.
"When I was in college, I was involved in the research of a nutrient soil with a mentor and mastered some techniques. Later, by chance, I configured a kind of nutrient soil by myself, and the kumquat you just ate was planted with the nutrient soil I configured! This nutrient soil not only improves the quality of the plant, but also increases the growth rate of the plant and shortens the ripening time of the fruit. In order to find a reasonable origin for Heavenly Court, Li Rui began to make up stories.
"Xiao Rui, is the cost of the nutrient soil you invented high?" Of course, Li Qiang understood the value of these things that Li Rui said, and immediately asked with concern.
"The cost is not high, so it's about the same price as fertilizer. But if you use my nutrient soil, you don't need to use fertilizer at all! "The cost of Heavenly Court soil is that Li Rui spent some time and effort to clean it up from Heavenly Court, which is almost equivalent to no cost, but it is unrealistic to say that there is no cost, so Li Rui said with a smile.
"Great, Xiao Rui, I'll go back and contract the orchard in our village!" Li Qiang felt that he was full of energy and passion at this time.
"Big brother, there are a few precautions for me to tell you first, first, the matter of nutrient soil must be kept secret, and you should also know the truth of guilt. In addition, these nutrient soil are made by me according to the research of my mentor, and there is a suspicion of piracy, so I can only use it quietly. Li Rui explained very cautiously.
"Hmm!" Li Qiang nodded, his expression looking very serious.
"Second, the nutrient soil has only been used to plant kumquat and pomegranate at present, so in the future planting process, you should pay more attention to help me collect some information, for example, how much nutrient soil is suitable for a fruit tree, how long can a nutrient soil be used, how much nutrient soil can increase fruit yield, etc.!" Li Rui didn't know much about Heavenly Court, so he hoped that Li Qiang would provide him with detailed information in practice.
"No problem!" Li Qiang only thought that Li Rui was ready to continue researching the nutrient soil, so he agreed to Li Rui's request without thinking about it.
That night, the two brothers chatted late in the living room, and even slept directly in the living room in the end, because the only bedroom with a bed in the house was directly occupied by Li Qian.
This situation made Li Rui a little depressed, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his house was still a little small.
After Li Rui in the mortal world fell asleep, the work of the heavenly court began, and Li Rui was not worried that he would be discovered by Li Qiang when he entered the heavenly court to work, because he had done a real thing, and he found that after he entered the heavenly court, his body still existed in the mortal world, and it seemed to be asleep.
As for why this happened, he couldn't figure it out and couldn't get an explanation, so he continued to deal with it in the same way as before, and as long as it didn't hurt him, he didn't pay attention to it
When Li Rui opened his eyes, he was mentally prepared for the first time, for fear that the Roaring Sky Dog would suddenly appear again and scare him, but this time his preparation was done in vain, and the Roaring Sky Dog did not appear at all. The entire office had barely changed from the last time he left, the only thing that had changed was the change in the work schedule on the small blackboard behind the door.
"Today's task is to clean the Ascending Immortal Pool! This is a place where every immortal who enters the heavenly court has to enter, and this time we will also enjoy this treatment! Looking at the work arrangement on the small blackboard behind the door, Li Rui couldn't help laughing.
The Ascending Immortal Pool is specially prepared for the new immortals who have just ascended to the Immortal Realm, and it is used to improve the physique of those new immortals, that is, to make them completely reborn into real immortals.
Normally, the Ascending Immortal Pool is an empty pool, and when someone ascends to the rank of Immortal, a pool of milky white liquid will condense in the Ascending Immortal Pool.
However, because no one had ascended for a long time, when Li Rui came here, he found that the Ascending Immortal Pool, which should have been white and crystalline, had also become a little yellow and lacked any luster at this time.
Although it was the first time to come here, Li Rui was already accustomed to it, and even he felt that if he suddenly came to a clean place, he might not be able to adapt to it.
Li Rui didn't waste time, took out the cleaning tools directly from the Qiankun bag, and started to work. The Ascending Immortal Pool is not very large, Li Rui directly cleaned the floating ash on the surface layer first, and then took out a small shovel to remove some of the stubborn dirt in the pool that adhered to the pool wall.
"Huh? What is this? Is there still a fragrance? Li Rui had just shoveled off a piece of solid dirt, but the condition of the stain surprised him slightly.
The dirt that Li Rui shoveled down was almost the size of a palm, less than a centimeter thick, and the color of the surface was a little yellow, but its reverse side, which was attached to the Ascending Immortal Pool, was white and crystalline, and even had a refreshing fragrance.
