Chapter 198 Propagating Ice Grass
"Tch, what a problem."

Lin Zhijing had no time to pay attention to the soldiers' behavior; he was in a hurry to get home.

Although he had been studying day and night for almost half a month and his physical functions had reached their limit, Lin Zhijing still wanted to go find Ye Xi'an before it got dark.

*
"Dong dong dong."

The people inside, who were having dinner, paused and all looked towards the door.

Even Gu Feng on the other side heard the commotion.

It should be said that he was constantly paying attention to the situation across the street, so Gu Feng was the first to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Ye Xi'an saw Lin Zhijing standing tall and straight at the door, carrying a black patent leather bag and wearing a pure white suit.

"You're back?"

He subtly moved next to Lin Zhijing, as if he were just a neighbor who had nothing better to do than come over for a chat.

Lin Zhijing gave him a strange look: "What are you doing here?"

"I came here to check on my neighbor."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door in front of him opened.

"Dr. Lin! I knew it was you."

Yi Yang's eyes were bright. If it weren't for the wrinkled skin on his face and body, and how thin he was, no one would have guessed that he had recently endured inhuman torture.

Lin Zhijing frowned: "Why is it you?" This was completely different from the scene he had imagined Ye Xi'an opening the door for him: "Let Ye Xi'an open the door for me."

After saying that, Lin Zhijing slammed the door shut again, leaving Yi Yang bewildered.

Gu Feng, standing outside the door, looked at the displeased man with a mixture of shock and admiration. He couldn't even get through the door, yet Lin Zhijing could slam it shut at will. Gu Feng shook his head, sighed, and thought enviously, "It's true that those who are favored are fearless."

Inside, Ye Xi'an heard the door close but no one came in: "Yi Yang? Is nobody here?"

Yi Yang scratched his head and walked into the living room with a puzzled look on his face: "There's someone here, it's Dr. Lin, but he won't come in unless his wife opens the door for him."

Bo Jing slammed his chopsticks on the table: "You're such a pretentious bitch!"

Ye Xi'an was also somewhat amused and exasperated, never expecting that the aloof Lin Zhijing would have such a childlike side: "Alright, I'll open the door."

The door opened again, and this time it was Ye Xi'an who opened it.

Lin Zhijing's aloof expression instantly changed to another face, his eyes flashing with surprise, and he smiled like a gentle breeze, as if this were really his family opening the door for him as he returned.

"Xian, I'm back!"

Ye Xi'an was momentarily dazzled by his smile. Lin Zhijing's smile was just too unfair. After a moment, she quickly opened her arms and hugged Lin Zhijing, saying, "Welcome home."

Lin Zhijing pressed his entire body against Ye Xi'an, his chest against Ye Xi'an's shoulder, and his neck naturally drooping down, resting on one side of Ye Xi'an's neck.

"Have you missed me?" Lin Zhijing asked in a sticky, affectionate tone.

Ye Xi'an looked embarrassed. She was a little uncomfortable with Lin Zhijing like this. Could it be that he had been possessed by someone else like her? Otherwise, why was he smiling so brightly?

"Of course I miss you, but Zhijing, what's wrong? You're smiling so happily."

After asking, Ye Xi'an didn't hear a response from Lin Zhijing. Looking down, she found that he had fallen asleep.

"The scenery?"

Sleeping so soundly, is she too tired?
Ye Xi'an placed both hands on Lin Zhijing's shoulders, helped her up, and then bent down and scooped up the 1.8-meter-tall Lin Zhijing in a princess carry.

"Wow, am I that awesome?"

She could actually carry Lin Zhijing, and even had more than enough room to move him.

Yi Yang was startled and stepped forward to take Lin Zhijing from him, saying, "Wife, let me do it." Ye Xi'an dodged, saying, "No need, no need, I'm fine."

After saying that, Ye Xi'an carried Lin Zhijing straight back into the house, with Yi Yang following behind. Gu Feng naturally wanted to follow, but Yi Yang ruthlessly slammed the door shut, leaving him outside.

Luckily, he dodged quickly this time, otherwise his face would have been imprinted on Ye Xi'an's newly replaced door again.

Lin Zhijing was startled awake at noon the next day. He reached for the spot beside him, which was empty and cold, clearly indicating that no one had slept there. He sighed in disappointment, thinking that Ye Xi'an would stay with him.

He got up and went to the living room, where Ye Xi'an and Bo Jing were playing games.

Ye Xi'an glanced at Lin Zhijing unintentionally: "You're awake?"

"How are you feeling? Still tired?"

Lin Zhijing walked over to Ye Xi'an and wanted to sit with her, but the seats to her left and right were already taken by Bo Jing and Ji Jiangci, and Yi Yang was sitting on the ground.

But he didn't mind and sat down naturally next to Ye Xi'an's other leg, still looking a little tired, resting his head on Ye Xi'an's thigh.

"Much better, just a little dizzy."

"Fortunately, I've figured out how to use ice grass."

Ye Xi'an's eyes lit up: "What was the result?"

He slightly curled the corners of his lips into a faint smile, yet it was enough to surprise those who knew him well.

"This ice plant..."

Lin Zhijing paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts, or perhaps calming the turmoil within him.

"Its energy composition is very pure, with almost no harmful substances remaining."

"More importantly, it can directly act on the energy nodes of the orc gene chain, stimulate potential, promote the evolution of superpowers, and repair minor damage at the gene level."

"The fact that the season will make you younger is also related to this. It does have the effect of delaying aging and even reversing physiological age to a certain extent."

Bo Jing interrupted: "Put it simply."

Lin Zhijing looked at Bo Jing with displeasure and pouted: "In short, this ice grass can enhance superpowers, repair physical damage, and has no side effects. However, its cell division speed is extremely slow. It takes at least three years for an ice grass to mature."

Ye Xi'an asked a crucial question: "How is the ice grass propagated?"

"Sian, do you know about how orchids reproduce?"

Ye Xi'an blinked. She had never grown any plants, let alone orchids. She shook her head blankly, then seemed to remember something. She thought she had seen a short video about orchids before.

"Orchids? You mean the kind that can be divided or that produces small side shoots?"

"clever."

Lin Zhijing gave her an approving look, a slight smile playing on his lips.

“Look at the roots of this ice plant. Although it is covered by frost, you can still vaguely see some nodes.”

He pointed to a slight protrusion near the root of the ice plant.

"If my judgment is correct, these nodes may sprout new plants under suitable low-temperature conditions, just like orchids."

"Alternatively, we can try dividing some of the thicker rhizomes. As long as each piece has a healthy bud, it can theoretically survive independently."

Ji Jiangci leaned over to take a look, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"It doesn't sound difficult. If we can cultivate it from side shoots, then it doesn't matter if it takes a long time to grow. We can cultivate a batch and use it in batches."

Yi Yang had been unable to contain himself any longer, his eyes gleaming.

"Then what are we waiting for! Let's go breed some ice grass!"
