I awakened the cultivation panel.

Chapter 85 Lin Yuqing is injured

Chen Jingle woke up earlier today than yesterday.

He thought he would sleep until noon, but his biological clock made him wake up early. Fortunately, sleeping less didn't have much of an impact on him.

I replied to Li Shiming's message first, and then began today's cultivation schedule.

After thinking it over, I decided to take care of the flowers and plants first in the morning.

During this period, I was so engrossed in the two new professions of alchemy and talisman making that my progress in the profession of spirit plant master, which I usually have the most experience in, has been a bit slow.

There's no way around it; we only have so much time each day. After deducting time for eating, sleeping, and resting, we can only allocate the rest as needed. It's impossible to take care of everything perfectly; it's good enough if we can at least avoid missing anything.

"I've been busy refining pills and making talismans lately, things will get better in a while."

Fortunately, the growth rate of flowers and other plants has not fallen behind.

After a month and a half of growth, the branches of the flowers in the yard have basically taken shape, and those that climb the walls and those that form arches are ready.

Now we can move on to the next stage.

That's blooming!
To truly achieve a profusion of blooms, precise control of water and fertilizer is essential.

Take bougainvillea for example, it only blooms when there is little water, and it will grow branches vigorously when there is a lot of water.

Therefore, to make bougainvillea bloom profusely, it is essential to control the water supply, allow it to dry out appropriately, and provide plenty of sunlight.

There's no shortage of sunshine; the mornings are mostly sunny during this period. The problem is that it's prone to rain in the afternoons.

Chen Jingle simply put some plastic film on the flowerpots to block out the rainwater and prevent the bougainvillea from absorbing too much water.

Roses, on the other hand, require plenty of water and fertilizer, and since vernalization is not possible in the Lingnan region, it is somewhat difficult for them to bloom successfully.

Compared to bougainvillea, which requires little maintenance, roses obviously require more time and effort.

Fortunately, the variety planted by Chen Jingle is suitable for the south and does not require vernalization. He can directly give the plant the command to bloom by acting as a spiritual plant master and water it with a little diluted moon dew to provide sufficient nutrition.

Of course, it won't happen overnight for the branches to be covered in flowers.

That was a miracle.

Under normal circumstances, it takes time. First, flower buds and flower clusters appear, then they begin to swell and change color, and finally they bloom completely.

Even so, as long as it blooms successfully and the branches burst open, it is considered a success.

What Chen Jingle can do is, on the one hand, accelerate the plant's growth rate by 10%, and on the other hand, utilize the plant's affinity characteristics and the special effect of being the "spirit of all trees" to prolong the flowering period.

According to his estimation, it should be possible to achieve year-round flowering, even in the dead of winter.

Before that, let the flowers bloom first.

Conservatively estimated, it takes at least a week from the appearance of the flower bud to its bloom, and more than two weeks to fully open.

This is already under conditions of accelerated growth.

Unless you say to water it with more moon dew.

But that would be too extravagant. Right now, Moon Dew is in short supply. We don't even have water for rice, vegetables, and fruits, so how can we waste it on flowers?

"There won't be any Moon Dew this week at least. Let's see if we can squeeze out some when the moon comes out again next week," Chen Jingle said, scratching his chin and sighing.

Take your time, don't rush.

The only thing I didn't have to worry about was the sunflowers. After watering them with some diluted moonflower dew in the early stages, they quickly covered the ground and bloomed successfully.

Unfortunately, they didn't bloom all at once; only a portion of them opened. But as long as they're open, that's fine. They'll all be in full bloom soon.

……

As for fruit, the jackfruit at home is almost ripe.

When the typhoon hit, all the other fruits in the orchard, except for jackfruit and longan, had already been picked and eaten.

Jackfruit is now ripe.

Of course, only a few of them begin to ripen, because these fruits ripen in rotation; whichever develops well ripens first, and it is rare for a large number of fruits to ripen on a single tree.

Chen Jingle had poured diluted moon dew on it three times. Although it wasn't many times, the taste probably wasn't too bad.

Moreover, they are all very large, each weighing at least ten or twenty kilograms, with the largest ones estimated to weigh over thirty kilograms.

If you open just one, there are enough to feed seven or eight people in your family to finish it.

This stuff is cloyingly sweet; it gets cloying if you eat too much. Two of them already felt a little soft when I squeezed them, but I couldn't smell the strong aroma yet. I'll pick them when I can smell the aroma.

It should happen in the next few days.

For the next few days, Chen Jingle kept busy following this schedule, and he was quite happy.

Before we knew it, it was Friday again.

Li Shiming sent a message: "Are you free to come out tomorrow? Someone gave our family a lot of lychees, but my parents don't like them. If you like, I can get you some."

Lychees? We've already eaten all the lychees at home.

Chen Jingle asked curiously, "Is it Guiwei?"

Li Shiming replied, "No, it's a tribute from the immortals."

Chen Jingle suddenly realized.

Among the many varieties of lychee, Xianjinfeng is considered the king. Its taste is comparable to Guiwei in all aspects, and its overall quality is even stronger. It's just that the price is a bit higher.

It makes a very classy gift.

Most people wouldn't dare to eat it; at most, they might have a little Guiwei.

However, this year is a bumper year for fruit, and prices are reasonable.

Chen Jingle had never eaten Xianjinfeng before, so he thought for a moment and said, "I'm not free tomorrow, how about the day after tomorrow?"

Sister Xin and Lin Yuqing are coming over again tomorrow.

"The day after tomorrow is fine too." Li Shiming swung her feet expectantly.

Chen Jingle thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you like jackfruit?"

Li Shiming said, "It's alright, quite sweet. At least I don't dislike it. Some people might not like it because they're allergic. Why are you asking this?"

Chen Jingle replied, "The ones I planted at home yielded a lot this year. I'll trade these for you."

"Great!" Li Shiming was delighted.

I didn't say I particularly liked jackfruit, but the ones Chen Jingle gave me were different.

……

Saturday.

Chen Kexin, whom I hadn't seen for almost a month, came over again with her daughter Lin Yuqing.

Lin Guofeng has to work overtime and is busy.

Chen Jingle picked a jackfruit and brought it to his uncle's side, planning to cut it open and enjoy it together later.

But when he saw the band-aid on Lin Yuqing's forehead, he froze and asked, "What happened? How did you get hurt?"

“He’s not her dad.” Chen Kexin said angrily. “I was helping to cook in the kitchen and asked him to watch the child. I wasn’t paying attention and he bumped his head on the corner of the table. Luckily, the wound wasn’t big and he didn’t need stitches. Otherwise, it would have left an unsightly scar.”

Chen Jingle frowned slightly.

It's normal for children to bump and scrape themselves. One reason is that adults don't supervise them properly, and another is that children are inherently fragile and can get scraped by anything. If you're not careful, they could get hurt in the next second.

If they get a little older, around four or five years old, they'll be running around everywhere, so you'll have to keep a close eye on them, because they might wander off somewhere if you're not careful.

"When did this happen? Has it scabbed over yet?" Chen Jingle asked.

Chen Kexin said, "It was on Wednesday, and now it's barely scabbed over, but I still can't get it wet."

"Does it hurt?" Chen Jingle asked Lin Yuqing, looking down at her.

Lin Yuqing didn't say anything, but just threw herself into his arms.

It looks like it's still hurting, and I don't want to think about it.

Chen Jingle patted her little head: "You'll have to be more careful next time."

He already had an idea in mind.

　I'll still be posting two updates today. My condition is slightly more normal now, so please allow me to adjust my schedule.
