Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

Returning to the food box, Bai Ze picked up a steamed bun in each hand and began eating, saying between bites, "As far as I know, Shennong was capable of cultivation, and the methods of cultivation were those left over from ancient times, but..."

"But what?" Hua Gengchen pressed. He had the cultivation methods from ancient times, which meant he didn't need to bother searching for them elsewhere.

Bai Ze swallowed the bun in his mouth, took a big gulp of millet porridge, and said, "However, the cultivation methods of the ancient times have relatively high requirements for physical strength. Su Bai does not meet those requirements yet. If he rashly cultivates, Su Bai may very well explode and die. Moreover, the cultivation methods passed down from the ancient times require several times or even dozens of times more spiritual energy than the cultivation methods currently in use. If Su Bai were to cultivate now, spiritual energy would also be a problem that needs to be solved."

"In other words, Su Bai can only cultivate after the Shennong bloodline is fully activated and the earth veins of the demon realm are repaired," Hua Gengchen concluded.

"That would be best!" Bai Ze said, "But cultivating now is not impossible, it's just much more dangerous."

Upon hearing this, Hua Gengchen remained silent for a long while before asking, "Have you found any news about the last divine medicine to stimulate bloodlines?" Hua Gengchen would not allow Su Bai to take the risk, because he couldn't afford to lose!

Bai Ze was furious upon hearing Hua Gengchen's words. He threw down the food in his hand, stormed up to Hua Gengchen, put his hands on his hips, and questioned, "My dear Demon Emperor, have you forgotten that I'm still researching the black crystal? Do you think I'm Nezha? With three heads and six arms, I can do many things at the same time? However, there's been news about that phone call you asked me to check before."

Hua Gengchen: "..." He really hadn't thought of that. After a slight pause, he asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Of course...no!" Bai Ze shrugged. "That number was an anonymous SIM card. When I got it, it was already disconnected. And there was nothing useful on the phone, so there was no way to find out who was behind it."

Hua Gengchen remained silent, clearly not satisfied with the outcome.

Seeing this, Bai Ze's anger surged. "Don't give me that attitude! If you can't find out, you can't find out! If you're so capable, go and find out for yourself!"

Hua Gengchen: "..." He only knows how to fight, he's not familiar with any of these things.

"Hmph!" After silencing Hua Gengchen, Bai Ze felt much better. "The two divine medicines I found before came from the Howling Moon Wolf and the Nine-Tailed Fox clans, respectively. At least I still have some information about those two clans, but the Flood Dragon clan was suppressed by the Dragon Clan in ancient times, and disappeared without a trace after the Second War of Gods and Demons. I don't even know if there are any Flood Dragons still alive. Where am I supposed to find them in such a short time!"

After Bai Ze finished speaking, he rolled his eyes. When he learned from Xiaoyue Tianlang that the Jiaolong clan had a divine medicine to stimulate bloodline, Bai Ze knew that things would not be easy!

The Jiaolong clan are water beasts with dragon blood. The life goal of any Jiaolong is to purify its bloodline and become a true dragon. Therefore, he was not surprised at all that the Jiaolong clan had a divine medicine to stimulate their bloodline.

The problem is that the Jiaolong clan has been out of contact for many years, and the spiritual energy is now insufficient. What if the Jiaolong clan uses the divine medicine that stimulates their bloodline for themselves? After all, transforming from a Jiaolong into a dragon is their lifelong goal, something they must achieve no matter what.

"Once you find the last of the divine medicine, how about I pay for you to rebuild the Taoist temple?" Hua Gengchen was very generous when it came to Su Bai, so generous that Bai Ze felt flattered.

"Really? Really?" If Hua Gengchen is like this, then Bai Ze will have motivation.

When Hua Gengchen makes a move, it's definitely not something as simple as a small Taoist temple; otherwise, it would be unworthy of Hua Gengchen's status as the Demon Emperor and a member of the Dragon Clan.

"Really," Hua Gengchen assured him, "I mean what I say!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze jumped for joy! After working for Hua Gengchen for free for tens of thousands of years, he was finally getting his reward!

It's not easy!

Bai Ze shed tears of emotion.

"I will definitely find the divine medicine and bring it back as soon as possible!" Bai Ze seemed to have already seen a bright future. "However, before finding the divine medicine, we need to resolve the matter of the black crystal." Speaking of this, Bai Ze was extremely discouraged. With his experience and knowledge, he had never been so frustrated with anything.

“Of course.” Hua Gengchen also knew what was important and thought for a moment before saying, “Just tell me what support you need for your research, and I’ll have someone send it to you.”

Hua Gengchen had just said this, but Bai Ze's attention was drawn to other things then, but not now. He stretched out his palm and listed out the things the research institute needed one by one. "First of all, we need white mice, and we need a huge quantity of them!" If Hua Gengchen hadn't come today, Bai Ze would have been planning to dig up mouse holes outside the Taoist temple, since he had already searched through the entire temple. "Secondly, we need various medicinal herbs containing spiritual energy, which I need to experiment with one by one. Finally, we need a research lab and various research equipment." He had already ruined the research lab, and even if he spent time cleaning it up, he wouldn't be able to use it more than twice. Since Hua Gengchen had asked, Bai Ze naturally wouldn't make himself suffer.

“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away.” Hua Gengchen replied and took out his phone to send a message to Hua Jueming, informing him of Bai Ze’s request and asking Hua Jueming to arrange things within the day.

Bai Ze looked at Hua Gengchen, who was typing with his head down, with a meaningful gaze. This destined marriage was indeed extraordinary; even someone like Hua Gengchen could not escape it!

Heaven still has some conscience; it didn't completely exterminate them.

After explaining the situation to Hua Jueming, Hua Gengchen put away his phone and said to Bai Ze, "You can stay at my house for a couple of days. Come back and continue your research once the research lab here is finished."

"Okay!" Bai Ze agreed without thinking and continued eating while holding the food box.

He couldn't be happier to stay at the Hua family's house forever! The Hua family's environment is good, and there are shows to watch. If it weren't for researching the black crystal, Bai Ze would never have moved out of the Hua family's house!

"Keep the matter of finding the divine medicine in mind. I'm going to deal with the black energy." Hua Gengchen didn't dare to be negligent. The matter of the black crystal could only prove that the demons had been lurking in the shadows. If he wanted to completely thwart the demons' conspiracy, he couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest.

Bai Ze waved his hand speechlessly. When did Hua Gengchen become so indecisive? Although he was lazy, he wouldn't slack off on important matters. The divine medicine was not only related to Hua Gengchen's love life, but also to the survival of the demon realm. He would definitely keep it in mind.

Having received Bai Ze's assurance, Hua Gengchen turned and left. In order to be with Su Bai as soon as possible, the black-related issue had to be dealt with quickly.

On the other side, Hua Jueming immediately contacted people after receiving the message from Hua Gengchen. Building a research lab in a remote mountain valley wasn't difficult for the fairies, and since there was no surveillance, they could work freely, making the process much faster. The problem with the lab rats was also easily solved; it was the medicinal herbs imbued with spiritual energy that were a more challenging issue.

Since it's research, the more complete the medicinal materials, the better. Considering the losses during research, a certain quantity of each medicinal material must be prepared in advance. However, spiritual energy is severely scarce in both the demon realm and the human realm. While common medicinal materials are manageable, finding less common ones is quite difficult.

While giving out the easy tasks, Hua Jueming pondered in his mind who would be more suitable to handle the task of finding medicinal herbs.

Just then, Wang Ming quietly approached Hua Jueming, took several deep breaths behind him, and finally mustered the courage to call out, "Hua Jueming."

Hua Jueming was busy and didn't have much free time, but his position as the butler prevented him from doing anything that would damage the Hua family's reputation. So he paused what he was doing, turned to Wang Ming, and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

The courage Wang Ming had finally mustered vanished the moment he saw Hua Jueming's face, like a deflated balloon. "No, nothing's wrong."

Hua Jueming looked at Wang Ming suspiciously, completely unsure of what Wang Ming was planning to do. "Could we wait until I've finished what I'm doing?"

"You, you go ahead and do your thing!" Wang Ming stammered. He realized that testing him wasn't such a simple matter, and what he read online was completely useless to him!

The moment he met Hua Jueming's eyes, he forgot where to begin the speech he had prepared.

After expressing his apologies, Hua Jueming turned around and went to attend to his own business. He needed to finish his work as soon as possible before returning to Su Bai's side, even though Su Bai didn't want to see him at all right now.

Watching Hua Jueming work so diligently, Wang Ming's heart inevitably raced, pounding as if it were about to leap out of his chest.

Pressing his hand against his wildly beating heart, Wang Ming's face quickly turned red. Looking at Hua Jueming, who was still working diligently, Wang Ming felt his heart was beating abnormally fast, and the next second he ran away.

He's not mentally prepared yet; let's wait until next time to test him!

Perhaps he should try a different approach, without meeting in person, and directly tell Hua Jueming that he really can't say it!

Hua Jueming noticed Wang Ming's escape the moment he ran away. However, since Wang Ming had just said that nothing was wrong, Hua Jueming assumed that Wang Ming had just come to say hello. He glanced at Wang Ming's back and then looked away, focusing on the matter Hua Gengchen had instructed him to do.

Su Bai spotted Wang Ming as he hurriedly ran away. Upon seeing Wang Ming's face, which was as red as if he had a fever, Su Bai immediately realized what was going on.

So the person who appeared in Wang Ming's dream was Hua Jueming!

It has to be said that Hua Jueming is a very good match. She is capable, good-looking, and has a good temper (mainly because Hua Gengchen has a bad temper; anyone who can work for Hua Gengchen without being fired must have a very good temper!). Su Bai is very relieved if Wang Ming can be with Hua Jueming!

However, he seemed to have heard Hua Jueming talk about himself very little. He didn't even know how old Hua Jueming was this year or who his family was, so he had no idea whether Hua Jueming had a fiancée or someone he liked. If Hua Jueming had a fiancée or someone he liked, wouldn't Wang Ming's feelings have been wasted? Su Bai made up his mind to find a time to ask him.

If Hua Jueming already had someone he liked, Su Bai would have advised Wang Ming to think more positively and find him a better partner sooner!

Originally planning to go to the warehouse to get another basket, Su Bai decided against it and turned back to the greenhouse. On the way, he sent a message to Wang Ming, asking him to go to the warehouse and get a basket.

Given the current situation, it's best for him not to show up.
