Chapter 120: The Search Continues
Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu immediately understood Xia Yanqing's subtext: "If Director Xia can find people, let alone four, even twenty or thirty, I can teach them."

The people Xia Yanqing chose should all be of good character.

Since she came to learn with the intention of saving lives, she didn't mind teaching more people, but...

"I am only responsible for teaching ten people."

Upon hearing Shen Baisu's words, Xia Yanqing's eyes lit up with joy, and her smile deepened. "In that case, thank you very much, Miss Shen."

"Miss Shen, please rest assured, since you have made a concession, I will naturally reciprocate."

Shen Baisu didn't take it to heart when she heard this.

Judging from Xia Yanqing's words, he would probably apply for some benefits for her, but she didn't care too much about it.

Her only request in collaborating with Xia Yanqing was to grant her fellow disciples a legitimate status.

Now that her request has been granted, she only wants to quickly teach these people how to draw qi into their bodies, and then teach them how to use wood elemental power to save people.

**
With Shen Baisu's words in mind, Xia Yanqing immediately went to find other people with wood spirit roots.

However, by the time he brought the person over, there were hardly any people meditating in the experimental field.

As Director Huo said, everyone here has important tasks to complete. They can sit for an hour or two, but they won't have the patience for it if it goes on for too long.

Because they were preoccupied with the mission, everyone left one after another.

However, before leaving, many people explained the situation to Shen Baisu. Shen Baisu didn't mind and just told them, "If you have free time, remember to meditate."

Therefore, when Xia Yanqing returned, only Shen Baisu and six other people were present.

Seeing that there were only a few people left, Xia Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and then walked directly towards Shen Baisu, "Miss Shen".

Hearing someone call her, Shen Baisu opened her eyes. "What is it?"

"Yes." Xia Yanqing nodded first, then pointed around, "Where are the others? Why are there only six people?"

Shen Baisu: "Oh, some went to do experiments, some went to do projects, anyway, they all took leave for legitimate reasons."

Xia Yanqing: "..."

With this attitude, when will he ever learn?
It's one thing for the students to have a bad attitude, but what's wrong with the teacher...?

"So you just let them go? You didn't even try to stop them?"

Shen Baisu: "Cultivation requires complete concentration. If they are preoccupied with those unfinished tasks, even if I keep them here, they will not be able to complete the cultivation. It would be better to let them go."

Xia Yanqing: "..."

That makes sense, but...

"At this rate, when do you think you'll be able to teach ten people?"

After listening to Xia Yanqing's words, Shen Baisu thought about it seriously for a while, and then said, "If the person you choose has good talent, someone should be able to successfully guide Qi into the body in less than half a month. If the talent is not good, it will take at least three to five years."

Cultivation is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Shen Baisu also wanted to teach them as soon as possible, but the truth is, the most taboo thing in cultivation is being impatient.

One wrong move and you could go berserk.

Therefore, when Shen Baisu agreed to come to the capital with Xia Yanqing, she was prepared to be a teacher for a long time.

Therefore, she had already given all the necessary instructions in advance.

After hearing Shen Baisu's words, Xia Yanqing fell silent. "So, it will take them three to five years before they learn how to save people?"

Shen Baisu: "Not necessarily, maybe ten or eight years."

Xia Yanqing: "..." The sky has fallen.

Originally, Xia Yanqing had hoped to help them become renowned doctors like Shen Baisu as soon as possible, but now...

Noticing Xia Yanqing's unusual expression, Shen Baisu looked at Xia Yanqing seriously and said, "Don't people who study medicine also need to study for many years to become outstanding doctors? Cultivation is the same."

"Some people can't even learn it in decades."

Xia Yanqing: "..."

"Isn't there any other way? A way to learn it as quickly as possible?"

For Xia Yanqing, waiting even one more day was already painful enough; now that he knows he might have to wait three or five years, his heart will probably be even more tormented.

Shen Baisu nodded, "Yes."

Xia Yanqing's hope immediately rose.

Shen Baisu: "The better your talent, the faster you'll learn. You can look for it."

"Anyone who can dye ten petals green will be guaranteed to do so within a month."

"I can teach you how to dye nine petals green within two months. Eight petals might take half a year, seven petals... Anyway, the fewer petals a crystal flower has dyed green, the longer it will take. You can find one that suits you."

"Don't just look for doctors or researchers. You can look for people with a strong affinity for plants, such as plant-related professionals, students, and growers."

If given the opportunity, Shen Baisu would also like to end her teaching career as soon as possible, so she gave Xia Yanqing some advice.

After listening, Xia Yanqing thanked Shen Baisu.

He left behind the twenty or thirty new students he had brought with him, and then went on to find more students.

So, Shen Baisu began a new round of teaching with the new students.

**
That evening, Shen Baisu met Xia Yanqing again.

At that time, only a few students remained around Shen Baisu. Xia Yanqing sighed after seeing this, and strode towards Shen Baisu, "Miss Shen."

Shen Baisu opened her eyes and looked at Xia Yanqing.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's getting late, let's end today's lesson here. I've arranged a room for you, I'll take you there to rest now."

Shen Baisu nodded to Xia Yanqing.

Seeing that Xia Yanqing hadn't brought anyone with her this time, Shen Baisu asked, "Didn't you find anyone else with a wood spirit root?"

Xia Yanqing shook her head. "No, I found a few, but it's already very late, so I didn't bring them with me. I'll bring them to you tomorrow morning. I'll have to ask you for help then."

Shen Baisu nodded, "Of course."

Their collaboration was a transaction; since Xia Yanqing had helped her get what she wanted, it was only right that she put in some effort.

"As you said, there are more people working in the plant industry and among scholars who possess wood spirit roots. However, I have also looked at many people today, but I found that they either do not have the same talent as the academicians of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, or they do not have wood spirit roots at all. There are very few people who possess wood spirit roots, and they are almost impossible to find in other groups. Why is that?"

Because the Special Affairs Bureau is neighbors with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Academy of Medical Sciences, he had previously contacted people from those two research institutes.

He was initially quite curious why, since it was clearly related to a talent for saving lives, there were more people with this talent in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences than in the Academy of Medical Sciences. It turned out it was related to plants.

However, even among those working in plant-related industries after leaving the research institute, very few people possess wood elemental power, which puzzled Xia Yanqing.

Logically, since the scope has been expanded, why are there fewer people with wood elemental power?
After hearing Xia Yanqing's words, Shen Baisu smiled and asked him, "People with wood spirit roots have always had high plant affinity. Do you think they would have low plant affinity since they've all become academicians of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences?"

After listening, Xia Yanqing suddenly understood.
