Chapter 435 - Colours
Shao Xuan was dragged out of Qingmang Pavilion by Ji Ju when Ji Ju stopped abruptly and yelled, “Yellow Earth!”
Shao Xuan had heard him mention this name before. It was the old man’s first slave, a yellow bull.
He yelled several times and because he was too anxious, he paced in circles.
Soon, Shao Xuan heard thunderous gallops.
He looked up to see at the end of the dirt road was a giant bull sprinting over, leaving a trail of dust clouds behind it.
Compared to the bull pulling the carriage, this was a giant! If it were in a forest, it would be considered a dangerous fearsome beast.
As the large bull approached, the vibration in the ground grew stronger. Its large physique and its two horns pointing at the sky brought with it an aura of deadly power, as if it was an unstoppable force.
“So they ate the fearsome beast meat, that’s how they passed the three blocks and in the end became this?” Ji Ju put the large grains on the table.
“I have heard of some obscure methods like burying bones but feeding a plant beast meat, this is my first time hearing of this.” Ji Ju touched his beard, not noticing that he had pulled out a few strands. His ancestor’s secrets fared worse than some meat?! That wasn’t supposed to happen!
“That’s why I came here, I wanted to know why and maybe check out your plants to see if it’s the same.”
Ji Ju’s face turned red. He did not speak.
Shao Xuan continued. “You used your ancestor’s secret concoction, your own fertilisers. Do you think your grains might be another colour? Maybe white, green, black or something.”
Different fertilisers, different colours? Was that possible?
Ji Ju paused like he remembered something and shuddered. Strands of beard fell on the ground.
“I know! So that’s what happened! Hahahaha! The five colours of gold, so this is what that means! Hahahaha!”
Shao Xuan did not know what to do as he watched Ji Ju laugh hysterically.
When Ji Ju was done, he ignored Shao Xuan and rushed into the house. Shao Xuan and the bull looked at each other.
Seeing as the bull was staring intently at the grain on the table, Shao Xuan tossed the grain that Ji Ju had previously peeled at it. It was given to Ji Ju for identification so he had no plans to keep these.
When Ji Ju finally came out once again, he saw the bull’s head blocking the entire entrance, mooing softly as it stared at Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan, who was sitting inside, had fallen asleep.
