Fu Xian led his senior brothers and sister to the courtyard. The formation was deactivated and the front door was open, which allowed him to enter right away.
What ca into view was an erald jade path leading from the entrance to three directions: the front, left and right.
To the sides was a path leading around the whole courtyard, for one to enjoy the view.
He led them to the main pavilion as he described, "This is the main entrance, the east entrance. Opening up to the east is to allow wood energy to enter.
Here," he pointed to the young trees planted in the ground, "are the Polo trees. Polo are an excellent citrus tree, containing sweetness, sourness and bitterness at the sa ti. These polos especially have a very fruity flesh.
In the future, I will make sure to send a few to the senior brothers and sisters to taste! They are a snack to eat in every season."
"Polos are indeed very tasteful," Puyan said, "unfortunately they don’t quite fit with the other fruits I am planting, and it’s quite a strain to make them into good wine."
"Even though that is the case, their price as a fruit is quite high. Are you planning to sell them, Fu Xian?"
"Brother, I have thought about this too. In the end, the produced polos will be too many for to eat.
But can I truly sell them?
I believe that the amount I produce isn’t enough to be sold en masse.
That’s why I was thinking of just giving them out for free for custors of my future shop.
A little addition to the talismans, so to say.
Although there aren’t many talisman shops, I should still try to take a market share and make my buyers loyal. After all, getting a polo at a purchase of 10 talismans should be quite a good deal, not to ntion that it might also spur people to buy more talismans just to get the polo."
"Your idea is quite good. We have also handed out a fruit basket when we opened our dancing pavilion. Later, we sold them separately as gift packages through brother Longbao.
Although the material price is a bit expensive, as gifts they seem quite good.
If you wish to, we could add your polos to the basket." Puyan directly made a deal.
"Senior brother, you are too kind! But really, it’s not suitable to be sold. I estimate by the ti they grow up to maturity, I should get around 5,000 polos every ten years.
If I save them and only use 500 yearly, just half of it would already be eaten by or given away as a gift. As for the rest, I can add that to the talisman shop. Even if I grow lower polos, they will only end up being eaten by my disciple or given away together with other gifts."
The group chatted among each other as Fu Xian showed them everything his courtyard offered.
Midway through the path was a path leading through one garden to the other. He hadn’t planned this initially, which ant it was the idea of his sister.
Looking at it now, he agreed with it a lot.
He had forgotten to build a path for strolling through the garden. With this, he had made up for this lack of walking opportunities.
Going through the gardens, he showed them all the trees he was planting.
Although for now it was a large blank canvas, it was still quite beautiful.
Especially when he showed them the lemon and li trees, the group was quite happy about the nice sll.
In between the gardens, he also showed them his four outer pavilions.
For his senior brothers and sister, this appearance was quite normal. Although it had a unique air and looked slightly different, in the grander total, it was quite a common construction.
Finally, they returned to the main path of the polo garden and walked down the path to the main pavilion.
"Say, aren’t the spiritual properties of this whole courtyard slightly different than usual?" Miaoyu, the most sensitive to spirituality, asked.
"Indeed, the courtyard seems quite different than those sister built before. There is a certain spiritual property spreading throughout the courtyard, as if connecting it inexplicably." Jiming, who was also sowhat sensitive to it, agreed.
"You two only saw the spiritual property, but the trees here reacted in a special way to this property. Although I don’t know yet what reaction it will cause, the trees are definitely changing slightly.
What was the cause for this?"
Hearing this, Fu Xian felt the air and nodded. "This spiritual property is talisman aura! Such an aura is usually only present in a talisman master’s drawing hall, or in places with a strong talisman that spreads its aura!
And from the feeling of it," having arrived in front of the central lake, Fu Xian looked over to the island on which the main pavilion stood.
Reaching out his hand, a little item flew towards him.
It was jade coloured and had various gems embedded. There was a special design on the surface, like the bark of an old tree. On the backside were all the gems in the shape of various symbols.
The bark pattern on the front side was glowing, becoming brighter and dimr, like a beating heart.
With each breath, the unique spiritual property of talismans spread across the whole courtyard.
Fu Xian also looked at the sky, where the clouds of citrus scent were flying.
Initially they were simple scent clouds that had so hiding and very little protection ability. But now looking at them, he suddenly saw that patterns similar to tree bark ford on their surface.
Their colour was mostly yellow, so orange and green.
When a passing bird passed by, about to enter the clouds, suddenly, it fell down!
Miaoyu spread her spiritual power and caught the bird.
"Hmm!" Puyan looked with complexity at the Talisman Diagram in Fu Xian’s hand as well as the bark patterns on the clouds, then to the trees in the courtyard.
"Fu Xian, ay, you really brought a great gift to senior sister!"
The others looked over. After a mont of observing things, they also understood. "Indeed, a very beautiful gift!"
"Here I just realised that after combining planting with wine making and juice making, and then with water alchemy I could, I could finally add formations to boost the process. But looking at this, I am quite curious. Is there a way I could also add talismans to my planting?
Never mind... the path I have right now is quite good and shouldn’t be changed. I don’t have the sa feeling as senior sister, which ans that although it might be possible, it’s unlikely to be as effective as her path.
Fu Xian said, how about you help in the future adding talismans to my planting? Although it might not boost my path further, it could optimise my planting."
"I would be delighted to help senior brother!" Fu Xian agreed in an instant.
