Liu Juyi naturally gave Feng Lan a subtle yet obvious compliment for his move. In short, as long as things were successful, he would never treat Taoist Feng unfairly!

He took Feng Lan to the side garden and dismissed the servants around him. Even the servant who came to ask them about the banquet preparations was waved away by him.

Feng Lan broke off two kernels from a whole corn seed, gave one to Liu Juyi, and threw the other into the ground. "This corn can be eaten raw, cooked, fried, or ground into flour."

Liu Juyi ate it calmly, not afraid of Feng Lan poisoning him. After all, with the ability displayed by the other party, it would be really easy for him to kill him. The corn kernels had a light sweet taste in his mouth, and after biting them, there was a unique smell of starch. As the prefect of Guangfu Road, Liu Juyi had naturally been to the countryside before.

"This corn can indeed be used as a staple food."

The grain of corn thrown into the ground by Feng Lan quickly sprouted and grew under the stimulation of the wood-type ability. It grew taller at a speed visible to the naked eye, separated into male and female ears, bloomed, and produced fruit ears. Fruits as thick as a human arm grew from the nodes.

The whole process took about a minute. Feng Lan showed a tired expression at the right time, and there were many beads of sweat on her forehead disguised by her water-based supernatural power. She stopped urging her supernatural power until the corn grew from the size of a finger to the thickness of a human arm.

In front of the shocked Liu Juyi, he broke off a piece of corn wrapped in green and red fluff.

Tear open the corn wrappers one by one to reveal the golden corn kernels inside.

"T-This grew from a seed?! How can it produce so many fruits?!"

Liu Juyi couldn't help but step forward and broke off a corn cob. He held the heavy piece in his hand, which weighed at least five taels. There were at least two hundred kernels on one corn cob, and this was just a seed... Liu Juyi was almost stunned by the crop with a return rate of hundreds of times.

At this moment, he felt that the yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu might not be a figure that Mr. Feng boasted about.

Having seen it with his own eyes, and even tasted it, Liu Juyi no longer hesitated and bowed, "I will raise the money and pave the way as soon as possible! Within three days, I will present the full amount of sacrifices!"

Liu Juyi knew that his previous doubts had displeased the lay Buddhist, but he would never give in until he saw the results with his own eyes. Three months was indeed not enough time, and it was too late for Liu Juyi.

But now that he had witnessed the result with his own eyes, Liu Juyi didn't mind changing his words. Taoist Feng had already fully demonstrated his abilities. If he continued to delay, it would damage the harmony between the two of them.

As for the seeds for three months, as long as there are enough resources and you find a few experienced people in the fields, it is not impossible to squeeze in some time.

Liu Juyi saw clearly that it took some time for the corn to grow fruits and fully mature. He could easily rush back to the capital with the corn pots. He believed that as long as he had real data in hand, the emperor would definitely not blame him even if he was a little late.

Anyway, the mountains are high and the roads are long, so it is common for them to be delayed on the road due to some accidents.

After confirming it, Liu Juyi pretended that he had never made the excuse before and politely asked Feng Lan to move to another living room for dinner.

Delicious food has been placed on the table, waiting for the two hosts to take their seats.

Feng Lan understood the change in Liu Juyi's attitude. Both of them were smart people. Feng Lan handed the remaining corn to Liu Juyi, and Liu Juyi immediately gave orders. With this corn, plus the four corns on the plant that Feng Juyi had grown, it was enough for subsequent farmers to try and make mistakes.

"Master Feng, please, come this way."

After the matter was settled, the two of them started to eat seriously. Feng Lan had achieved his goal, so he naturally relaxed a little and settled down to enjoy the food.
