After returning home, Wang Lun called Fang Yun, a good friend in his dormitory at the university.

After graduating, Fang Yun returned to his hometown to start a potted seedling breeding business, and has always been in contact with him.

He chatted with the other party for more than ten minutes, and Fang Yun said that he would provide detailed information, including quotations, etc., and send it to his mobile phone.

Soon, Fang Yun sent the potted plant information. After Wang Lun received it, he decided to study it at night.

Now, he has one more thing to do.

Because he was going to Jiang Xiongfeng's house tomorrow to diagnose and treat why the emerald poinciana bonsai could not bloom, Wang Lun decided to test the effect of spiritual water on flowers in advance.

He found a teacup, poured some spiritual water into it, and then took the teacup and walked to a row of cockscombs in the yard.

The scorching heat of the afternoon had not yet subsided, and the flowers that bloomed from the Cockscomb were shrunken and listless. However, after he poured a little spiritual water on them, the effect was immediate.

Then he went to the front of the house and found morning glories. Even in the summer afternoon, the petals of morning glories were drooping, but when a little bit of spiritual water was stained on them, the effect was equally astonishing.

Wang Lun felt confident.

Back in the room, Wang Lun added some clean well water to the white jade bottle so that there would be no shortage of spiritual water tomorrow.

Tomorrow's trip to Jiang Mansion, he believed he could succeed.

In the evening, Wang Lun carefully studied the information sent by his old classmate until 11:30 at night, and finally determined the type of potted plants he wanted to plant.

The next morning, not long after Wang Lun had eaten breakfast, the Cadillac that came yesterday came again.

The driver Cao Fei, who had a strong aura, walked up to Wang Lun and said, "Mr. Wang, I was asked by my master to pick you up."

"Brother Cao, please wait a moment while I get something."

Wang Lun returned to the room, took out a mineral water bottle that he had prepared, and then took the white jade bottle down from the window.

He found that the spiritual water in the white jade bottle was less than one-third.

However, compared to the last time, which was directly reduced by half, this time it is significantly smaller.

But Wang Lun also knew that this was because the placement time this time was not as long as the last time.

If you wait until noon to see it, the spiritual water will definitely be reduced by half.

Wang Lun was already used to the phenomenon that the amount of spiritual water in the bottle had decreased.

However, this time he saw new changes in the white jade bottle.

"Clouds, this is the pattern of clouds!"

Wang Lun discovered that under the blue pattern on the body of the white jade bottle, there were a few large cloud patterns.

Based on this judgment, he immediately understood that the blue pattern that appeared before must represent the blue sky!

But what is the significance of the blue sky and white clouds that appear on the bottle?

So far, these patterns have not shown any magic.

"Could it be said that the white jade bottle has completed its evolution only when the entire bottle body is covered with patterns and forms a complete picture?"

Wang Lun couldn't help but guess this.

"But I haven't even figured out the functions of the spiritual water produced by the White Jade Bottle yet, so I'm not in a hurry to see the White Jade Bottle complete its evolution."

Because Jiang Xiongfeng's driver was waiting outside, Wang Lun poured all the spiritual water in the white jade bottle into a plastic mineral water bottle, then refilled it with new water before walking out.

He knew that it was not appropriate to use mineral water bottles to store spiritual water. Once the spiritual water left the white jade bottle, the spiritual energy would begin to lose, but he thought it would not be completely lost within three or four hours.

When he walked outside, he told his parents and got in the car.

After nearly two hours of driving, the car entered Tancheng City.

Wang Lun was quite familiar with the city. After all, he studied at Tancheng College. Wang Lun found the car driving towards the city center and soon arrived at the "No. 1 Mansion" next to the Huatian five-star hotel.

Mansion No. 1 is one of the most expensive and luxurious high-end villa complexes in the city.

Wang Lun had never been in before, but now he was passing by slowly in a car. European-style single-family villas, artificial lakes, white marble sculptures, etc. appeared one by one. It was indeed luxurious and meaningful.

Finally, the car entered a manor covering an area of ​​more than 3,000 square meters and stopped in front of the lawn of the main villa.

Wang Lun got out of the car and followed the housekeeper to the wide corridor, which was surrounded by exquisite white marble railings and had a large rectangular flower garden below.

In the corridor, Jiang Xiongfeng was talking to a man in his fifties and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. There was a table in front of them, with a bonsai placed on it.

Jiang Xiongfeng saw him and said hello: "Mr. Wang, please come here quickly."

Wang Lun came closer and saw the bonsai clearly.

The flower pot used for bonsai is a rectangular sapphire pot with chiseled gold and angular corners. It is open at the top and narrowed at the bottom, slightly in the shape of a bucket. There is a raised Ruyi cloud pattern around the belly of the pot.

The main scenery in the basin is the poinciana tree, and there is a rockery carefully carved with emeralds next to it.

Poinciana and emerald, seeing these two, Wang Lun knew that this was the emerald poinciana bonsai.

The name of this bonsai comes from the poem "The leaves are like the feathers of a flying phoenix, and the flowers are like the crown of a red phoenix." The flowers are especially beautiful when they are in full bloom, but now that the flowering season has come, there are no flowers.

"Mr. Wang, this is Professor Shao Yiyang, the deputy director of the Municipal Institute of Botany. He is a well-known plant research expert throughout the province."

Jiang Xiongfeng carefully introduced this expert who was over fifty years old and had a rigid expression.

"Professor Shao, this little brother is Wang Lun who I mentioned to you and is good at cultivating plants."

Wang Lun compared the difference between the two when Jiang Xiongfeng introduced them. Naturally, he knew that Jiang Xiongfeng was led by Professor Shao today, and he didn't really believe that he could make the emerald poinciana bonsai bloom.

He also understood Jiang Xiongfeng's approach.

This is human nature. Jiang Xiongfeng would obviously value the invited plant experts more than him.

Wang Lun took the initiative and stretched out his right hand towards Professor Shao.

"Hello, Professor Shao."

"Hello."

Shao Yiyang shook Wang Lun's hand casually, looked at the plastic mineral water bottle in Wang Lun's hand, and frowned slightly.

At this time, the servant brought tea, and Jiang Xiongfeng said: "Mr. Wang, you drink tea, and I will tell you about bonsai."

Following Jiang Xiongfeng's narration, Wang Lun also understood the problem of this bonsai.

The Poinciana tree in bonsai has been growing for 180 years. Not to mention the rockery inlaid with emeralds, this Poinciana tree alone can be called a living fossil among the Poinciana trees and is of great value.

This bonsai is of great ornamental and collection value, and the total price can reach 10 million!

Jiang Xiongfeng loves the emerald Poinciana bonsai very much and has been taking care of it carefully over the years. In previous years, the Poinciana bonsai would bloom in July, but this year when the flowering season came, not only did the flower buds not bloom, but they shrank directly, and now they are drooping downwards.

After Wang Lun listened, he observed the poinciana tree at close range.

He analyzed the color and shape of the leaves, the softness of the cultivation soil, etc., and was able to confirm that the Poinciana tree was not affected by pests and diseases, nor was it suffering from nutritional deficiencies.

While Wang Lun was observing, the bonsai was suddenly moved. Shao Yiyang unceremoniously moved the bonsai to his side, completely pretending that Wang Lun did not exist.

Shao Yiyang didn't look at Wang Lun at all. He pointed at the bonsai and said to Jiang Xiongfeng: "Master Jiang, I have found out the reason why this Poinciana tree cannot bloom."

Wang Lun was angry when he saw this expert professor being so disrespectful. If this was not Jiang Xiongfeng's home, he would have told Shao Yiyang.

"Professor Shao, tell me quickly!"

Jiang Xiongfeng urged.

Shao Yiyang said unhurriedly: "Actually, the normal lifespan of the Poinciana tree is about 120 to 140 years, and Mr. Jiang, your Poinciana tree has grown for more than 180 years and has reached the stage of decline.

, it is extremely difficult to bloom again.”

"Has it reached the stage of decline?"

Jiang Xiongfeng looked puzzled, "But its leaves are still so lush, and its vitality looks very strong."

Shao Yiyang smiled and shook his head like an expert.

Realizing that Wang Lun was also listening, he paused deliberately and did not immediately tell the reason.

He hates Wang Lun. What kind of person is he? The deputy director of the Municipal Institute of Botany, an expert at the level of a full professor, with extremely high qualifications. He is invited here to solve problems. He alone is enough, but Jiang Xiongfeng still

Inviting a young boy like Wang Lun over is tantamount to insulting his status.

Therefore, he naturally despised Wang Lun and had no good feelings towards him.

After all, he was just a young man without any academic achievements, so he had the right to despise Wang Lun.

After a pause, Shao Yiyang said: "That's not the case. You can see that the Poinciana tree is still growing vigorously, but this is only superficial. In fact, it has changed internally."

"I'll give you an analogy. It's like a human being. Once he gets older, the physiological cycle in his body will change significantly. Aging will start internally first, and then it will be reflected on the outside. The same goes for the Poinciana tree.

It will quickly decline in a year or two.”

Jiang Xiongfeng couldn't hide the disappointment on his face after hearing this, and asked: "Professor Shao, is there any way to stop it?"

"No. The life cycle of any living thing cannot be reversed. This is an iron law of science."

Shao Yiyang said decisively.

"Can the poinciana still bloom this year?"

Jiang Xiong's style focuses on this.
