The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 103 Birthday
"graft!"

In the back garden, Shen Yuanliang, wearing a sky blue round-necked robe and a Dongpo scarf on his head, put down the brush in his hand and immediately displayed the magical powers that came with the Green Emperor's authority.

A ray of colorful light enveloped the yellowish-brown, flat-shaped golden nanmu seed on the mahogany table, which was not easy for Shen Yuanliang to obtain.

The strands of essence condense into water droplets, shining brightly and emitting mysterious life fluctuations.

Then Shen Yuanliang took out an amber-colored oak seed the size of a peanut from his waist pocket. When the golden wind and jade dew met, the "entry" of golden nanmu's corrosion resistance was immediately integrated into it.

After a moment, the amber oak seeds emitted a faint halo, with strands of golden threads lingering on them, emitting a dazzling brilliance.

"Withering and flourishing, life and death!"

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yuanliang still used his second magical skill. The amber oak seeds immediately took root and sprouted, and under the influence of the mysterious factor, they became towering trees.

The tall, straight oak tree is thirty meters tall and can be hugged by five people. It is lush and green. When the bark is chiseled open with a goose-feather knife, strands of golden light flow through the brown trunk.

"As the king of all woods, golden nanmu has extremely high corrosion resistance and durability. The oak synthesized from it is most suitable for the deck and hull of warships."

Looking at the oak tree in front of him, Shen Yuanliang was very satisfied. He then took out a thick book and recorded the experiment just now in the book one by one, without any mistakes or omissions.

After the harvest, the shipyard was about to be built, and Shen Yuanliang wanted to research and develop more outstanding trees. Teak, pine, fir, elm, oak, etc. were all included in the transformation plan.

Now that the second generation of oak suitable for making ship hulls has been developed, Shen Yuanliang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He picked up the slightly cool tea and took a sip, his face full of satisfaction.

"Pot, pot."

"Grandma's birthday party is about to start, why haven't we set off yet? Have you forgotten?"

At this moment, Shen Qianqian, a chubby girl with pigtails, tugged at Shen Yuanliang's sleeve and shouted anxiously.

Today is the birthday of Shen Yuanliang's grandmother. Shen Chen went there early in the morning to prepare the banquet, receive guests, etc. Shen Yuanliang and his friends were ready to go at 15:00.

"I'll go right away. There won't be any delay."

Reaching out and picking up the increasingly adorable Xixi, Shen Yuanliang pinched her soft face and said with a smile.

After an incense stick of time, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and four white horses pulled a slightly gorgeous carriage. The whole carriage was made of huanghuali, 12 feet wide and 10 feet high.

A flag of the Shen family was placed on the carriage. With a bright red background, a circular pattern made up of abyss magic vines appeared on it, with life and death intertwined.

Hundreds of iron guards wearing bright silver armor, red cloaks and riding tall horses followed in front and behind, guarding the carriage tightly.

"Brother Yuanliang, today is the old lady's 60th birthday. Have you prepared a gift?"

Under the red fire, spring water collected from the mountain stream was gurgling. Li Wan'er, wearing a pink double-breasted silk dress and a silver hairpin in her hair, was making tea.

The movements were smooth and seamless, giving people a pleasing feeling and soothing Shen Yuanliang's slightly impetuous heart.

"It has been prepared a long time ago. This is the Eighteen Scholars Camellia that I cultivated myself."

Pointing at the wooden box covered with a red cloth next to him, Shen Yuanliang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and showed a proud look on his face.

There are many varieties of camellia with many styles. Among them, the Eighteen Scholars Camellia, Hexagonal Big Red Camellia, and Red Red Camellia are the most famous. Shen Yuanliang's grandmother liked camellia the most.

In order to prepare a birthday gift, Shen Yuanliang tried thousands of times and finally cultivated the Eighteen Scholars Camellia. Moreover, Shen Yuanliang used the magical power of "transplanting flowers and trees" to add some other "entries" to this camellia, making this pot of camellia more precious.

"GuoGuo, what should I do if I don't have any gifts prepared?"

When Shen Qianqian heard about preparing birthday gifts, she was stunned while eating snacks like a little hamster. Her eyes were wide open with a thin layer of mist on them, and she looked like she was about to cry.

"Silly boy, we are a family, so of course we should share the birthday gifts together."

Pinching Shen Qianqian's chubby face, Shen Yuanliang squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

"Hmph! You stinky pot, pinch my face again, it's going to become ugly."

Slapping away Shen Yuanliang's funny arm, Shen Qianqian, who was also wearing a sky blue dress, turned her head away and faced everyone with the back of her head to express her dissatisfaction.

After a while, Shen Qianqian glanced at Shen Yuanliang quietly and muttered, "Tell mother later that Guo Guo bullied me again."

"If you want me to stop complaining, you have to give me something delicious. One, two, no, lots and lots of snacks."

After rubbing Shen Qianqian's furry little head, Shen Yuanliang had no choice but to raise his hands in "surrender" and said helplessly: "As long as you don't complain, I'll do whatever you want."

"I know Guoguo is the best."

After saying that, Shen Qianqian happily started to eat some snacks, including donkey rolls, peach blossom cakes, etc. Fortunately, she practiced martial arts frequently, otherwise she would have become a little fat girl sooner or later.

Although Shen Qianqian is young, thanks to the reappearance of the Abyss Demon Vine and the blessing of heaven on Tiger Tooth Mountain, the four-year-old Shen Qianqian has made a rapid progress from the ninth level of martial arts to the seventh level of martial arts.

For people who practice martial arts all year round, eating three servings of beef a day is no problem. Shen Qianqian is no exception. Her belly is like a glutton and it won't swell up no matter how much she eats.

"Wan'er, these are the second generation of oak seeds. After the birthday, quickly organize people to plant oak trees."

In the silent carriage, Shen Yuanliang took out an amber oak seed with a hint of gold from his pocket and instructed with a serious expression.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste!

In order to build ships, Shen Yuanliang used his magical powers day and night, and after conducting one experiment after another, he finally developed the second generation of oak seeds, as well as the second generation of fir and teak that he had developed before.

As for shipbuilding now, we can use the existing trees outside the Great Wall as a temporary transition and accumulate shipbuilding experience at the same time. Shen Yuanliang is still young and can wait.

"Brother Yuanliang, we have planted 10,000 mu of teak, fir, pine, elm, etc., about a million trees."

"Oak is the most used material for the hull and deck of warships, so let's plant 50,000 acres of it!"

Taking out a thick book from the cross-body bag at her waist, Li Wan'er picked up the brush, dipped it in ink and added another stroke to make sure she wouldn't forget too many things.

“These trees can also be planted along roadsides.”

"Whether it is a street or a built official road, it can not only beautify the environment, but also save arable land and avoid occupying good farmland."

Pulling aside the curtain and looking at the bustling street, Shen Yuanliang suggested while pinching his chin.
