Chapter 45 Pulling Senior Sister to Cultivate Immortality

Seeing Lin Xiaoran hesitate to speak, Shen Baisu interrupted her directly, "I'm not very curious. If you don't want to tell me anything, you don't have to."

“Besides what we just talked about, we actually have a lot more topics to discuss, such as… cultivating immortality.”

After speaking, Shen Baisu looked at Lin Xiaoran with a hint of anticipation.

Aside from testing her own and Su Qing's spiritual roots, she only tested the spiritual roots of Old Madam Shen and Yu Lan.

The test was conducted on four people, and all four had spiritual roots. This made Shen Baisu curious about the others. She wondered if they had spiritual roots, and if so, what kind of spiritual roots they might possess.

Lin Xiaoran is so fond of studying plants and is so skilled at it, he must have a wood spirit root, right?

Unaware of Shen Baisu's ulterior motives, Lin Xiaoran fell silent after hearing her words.

Cultivation?

This wasn't the first time Lin Xiaoran had heard Shen Baisu mention the term "cultivation." Previously, when she had heard her mention it, Lin Xiaoran had simply taken it as an excuse from Shen Baisu.

But since Shen Baisu brought it up repeatedly, Lin Xiaoran had no choice but to take it seriously.

Could it be that her junior has been scammed by some shady organization?
Perhaps the substance that Shen Xuemei used to promote tree growth came from that organization.

In a short period of time, Lin Xiaoran thought a lot. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to find out, "How exactly do you mean to cultivate immortality?"

"Do I need to join any organization?"

After asking the question, Lin Xiaoran felt a surge of anticipation.

When she asked this question, she was already prepared to take the risk. Although this move was risky, if she really became the cultivator that Shen Baisu mentioned, she might be able to come into contact with, or even obtain, the catalyst.

If there really was some fraudulent organization, she could still find a way to persuade Shen Xuemei.

Shen Baisu was unaware that she had become a victim of deception in Lin Xiaoran's eyes. When Lin Xiaoran asked for details, Shen Baisu assumed that she was interested and immediately answered her questions enthusiastically.

"You don't need to join any organization for now, but you have to pass the test first."

There are thresholds to cultivating immortality. Without spiritual roots, even if Lin Xiaoran wanted to cultivate immortality, he wouldn't have the destiny to do so.

Upon hearing Shen Baisu's answer, Lin Xiaoran's expression instantly became subtle.

Not joining for now? Is it because you'll join later?

Moreover, judging from Shen's tone, it seems like she's involved in more than one organization. Could it be that she has already joined one of them?

Sure enough, Shen Xuemei was fooled, wasn't she?
Lin Xiaoran's mind raced with thoughts, but he tentatively asked, "What kind of test? Does it require me to recruit people to cultivate immortality together? Once I've recruited enough people, I can join the organization?"

Shen Baisu felt something was off about her question, but she didn't think much of it and simply replied, "No need to pull anyone."

Lin Xiaoran's eyes filled with doubt upon hearing Shen Baisu's answer.

Isn't this how fraudulent organizations typically recruit members?

Lin Xiaoran became increasingly puzzled, so she asked again, "What kind of test is that?"

“This,” Shen Baisu said, taking the crystal flower out of her crossbody bag.

To avoid attracting attention, Shen Baisu has been carrying a crossbody bag lately. That way, even if she takes something out of her spatial storage, people will only assume she took it out of her bag.

Looking at the crystal flower that Shen Baisu took out, Lin Xiaoran's eyes showed a hint of curiosity, "What's this?"

Shen Baisu held up the crystal flower and pushed it in front of Lin Xiaoran, saying, "Put your hand on this hemisphere."

Lin Xiaoran: ?

Could it be that this is a test of her sincerity in cultivating immortality?

Lin Xiaoran's expression became increasingly complicated as she slowly placed her hand on the crystal flower.

Just like when the old lady was being tested for her spiritual roots, Lin Xiaoran's test took a little longer, even longer than the old lady's. Shen Baisu almost thought she had no spiritual roots at all.

Fortunately, after a dozen seconds, the crystal flower was tinged with green, and then the green gradually became more intense, eventually dyeing all nine petals a deep green.

Not only that, the tenth petal also had a touch of green, which is even better than a ninth-grade wood spirit root. If the color of the tenth petal were a little more intense, Lin Xiaoran would be a top-grade wood spirit root.

"What a pity, what a pity." Shen Baisu couldn't help but mutter "what a pity" twice in a row.

Lin Xiaoran heard her words clearly and thought she had failed the test. She felt a little nervous and tentatively asked, "Did I fail the test?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu immediately said to her, "You passed, and your aptitude is quite good."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoran instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Passed?
Does that mean she can now contact those organizations?

I don't know when I'll be able to come into contact with such a catalyst.

Thinking it over, Lin Xiaoran decided to subtly probe Shen Baisu, "You said earlier that those four trees were created after you cultivated immortality. So, does that mean I can also create trees within a month after I cultivate immortality?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu nodded to Lin Xiaoran, "Yes."

"If you weren't a wood elemental, you wouldn't have that ability."

Lin Xiaoran: ?

What is a wood spirit root?
Lin Xiaoran, who had never understood anything about cultivation, was full of questions. However, that didn't matter. Although she didn't know what a wood spirit root was, she understood the last sentence Shen Xuemei said.

Shen Xuemei said she also has the ability to make trees grow!

So, will she be able to make saplings and branches grow into two-meter-tall trees in just one month in the future?

So, what substances are contained in the red beauty fruit?
After moving the tree back, Lin Xiaoran conducted material tests on both the red fruit and the tree, just in case.

Compared to the previous four trees, the four trees Shen Baisu gave her contained more nutrients. In fact, she even extracted some substances she had never seen before from the fruits and leaves.

However, after studying it for a long time, Lin Xiaoran still couldn't figure out what the extra substance inside was.

So she went to ask Teacher Huang for advice.

After learning about this, Teacher Huang studied it for a long time. She consulted countless materials and asked countless people, but she still didn't know what those substances were.

So the two of them went to ask Xiao Yuan.

After leaving the Shen family manor that day, the two immediately settled the four trees, and then Teacher Huang immediately took Lin Xiaoran to find Xiao Yuan.

Teacher Huang didn't have to say much before Xiao Yuan agreed to take Lin Xiaoran as her student.

Xiao Yuan will be Lin Xiaoran's mentor two months from now. She is so capable, so when the two of them encounter problems, they naturally think of her first.

So Xiao Yuan studied the Red Beauty Fruit for several days, but she still couldn't figure it out. She asked Lin Xiaoran why the Red Beauty Fruit had turned out this way.

After learning that it was related to Shen Baisu, Xiao Yuan expressed her desire to meet Shen Baisu.

Originally, Xiao Yuan and Teacher Huang were supposed to come together today, but Lin Xiaoran felt that since she wanted to express her gratitude to Shen Baisu, she couldn't mix in anything else.

Therefore, she didn't let Xiao Yuan come along, thinking of arranging another time for Shen Baisu and Xiao Yuan to meet.

However, it seems that it is not really necessary now.

If she knew the method to make trees grow faster, she wouldn't need to keep asking Shen Baisu.

Unaware of Lin Xiaoran's thoughts, and seeing that Lin Xiaoran had fallen into a long silence after she answered her question, Shen Baisu called out to her, "Senior."
