346: 255 Mysterious Large Pills!
346: 255 Mysterious Large Pills!
The leaf vein pattern was exceptionally clear, and the leaves were a translucent blue.
Under the sunlight, they were crystal clear, shimring like scattered diamonds.
Xia Ye recognized them imdiately as Lanlan’s leaves.
“What plant is this?
The leaves are so peculiar, I’ve never seen them before.”
“I’ve long heard that Professor Bian has many unique plants, and indeed his reputation is well-deserved.”
“Just one leaf is this beautiful, I can’t imagine what a whole plant would look like…”
While showing the leaf, Professor Bian smiled at Xia Ye with imnse affection.
Of course, the other students didn’t understand the deep aning behind his smile at the mont.
After understanding what plant samples they would observe today, the students returned to the laboratory.
Xia Ye first went to the seat she had just occupied, mainly to put away the book she had been reading earlier.
As she stuffed the book into her backpack, Professor Bian happened to catch a glimpse of it.
He paused, squinting his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.
How could he feel that the ancient book Xia Ye just had in her hands looked especially similar to the one he kept in his drawer, personally written by the Ancestral Master?
Except it was thicker.
Though he thought it impossible, he still leaned over and asked, “Yeye, where did you get that book just now?”
Xia Ye responded casually, “Just picked it up at the antique market, just browsing.”
She was fibbing.
The book, in fact, she had dug out from the ground.
Long ago, when there were no bank vaults, she stored things by sealing them in jars and burying them.
It was convenient for retrieving them later.
She had buried many treasures, but unfortunately, she had forgotten the coordinates for most of them.
Only this book was easy to dig up since she buried it near the Chaotai River…
If only there were so way to find the other treasures she had buried…
Xia Ye thought by saying she had picked it up at the antique market, Professor Bian would not pursue it further, but not a second later, he pressed on, “How much did you pay for it?”
His eyes were still intently peering into her backpack.
Xia Ye didn’t really know how much fake antiques were going for in the market these days, so she just threw out a number, “2000 perhaps…”
As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt she might have quoted too high and quickly added, “Reduced it to 20 after bargaining.”
Professor Bian narrowed his old eyes:…
It seed he was overthinking it.
However, he still smiled and whispered to Xia Ye, “Next ti you have a chance, co with your father to the Botanical Association’s exchange day.
The professor will show you what a real ancient book is like…”
As he spoke, there was a hint of showing off in his tone.
His book, after all, was personally written by the Ancestral Master and was several centuries old.
It would definitely make Xia Ye marvel with admiration.
Professor Bian was confidently assured on his end but across from him, Xia Ye crossed her arms and nonchalantly watched his expression.
The book Xia Ye had was indeed a real ancient manuscript, and she had written it herself.
Although she might appear carefree, she was quite ticulous about certain things.
For instance, when she initially wrote this book, she was inspired to record her travels and experiences over a thousand years and docunt the new species she had accidentally cultivated, compiling it into a book for easy reference and to enhance dicinal properties later.
She had expended a lot of effort, first drafting a rough copy before finally reformatting and producing the revised edition in her bag.
She rembered, after completing the manuscript, she had given the draft to a talented young disciple under her wing.
The young disciple was thrilled.
So at this mont, Xia Ye was curious about why Professor Bian was so interested in her book.
It was almost as if he had seen it before…

Since it was an experience for the freshn, Professor Bian hadn’t arranged any particularly difficult experints.
All the students could complete them.
But because the sample leaf was very precious and only one was available, the students could only take turns observing the leaf following the steps demonstrated by Professor Bian.
None of the students who viewed the cellular structure of the leaf under the microscope were not amazed.
The resources at Beijing University were indeed incomparable to other universities, especially the Departnt of Biodical Sciences.
Professor Bian had said earlier that this was a rare species only recently added to the world’s botanical sample repository.
Even he had only this one sample.
Under the high-power microscope, the leaf’s tissue structure, which varied greatly from other plants, further confird its rarity.
Shen Zhiqiao, as the assistant, was professionally responsible for guiding the students through the steps of the experint.
It was almost Yang Qiange’s turn when Shen Zhiqiao reminded, “Professor Bian is very particular about the experintal samples, especially with extrely rare plants like today.
I heard that a senior student had accidentally chipped the tip of the leaf during an experint, and Professor Bian imdiately kicked the student out and lost his temper.”
