Chapter 262 The King of Salted Fish's Disdain

"Xiao Tian, ​​I'm sorry. I was just a little out of control just now."

After saying that, Uncle Xiao continued to mutter to himself, "My God, I never thought I would see resurrection grass seeds in my lifetime. This is even more difficult than winning the lottery."

"Grandpa, what are you doing? Didn't Little Cutie just say that her family grows a lot of resurrection grass? Even so, this is still just a single grass."

Seeing her grandfather in such a distraught state, Xiao Qingmei felt an urge to take a picture of him, for some reason.

As I thought about it, I imagined what it would be like when my older brother and his baby are born and grow up. I wanted them to see how their great-grandfather used to look like this.

As she imagined this, Xiao Qingmei's lips curled up slightly, just like Xuan Mingtian's.

However, when Uncle Xiao heard his granddaughter's statement, he couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Little Qingmei, you don't understand. Let me tell you about my knowledge of the resurrection grass..."

Then, Uncle Xiao went on and on and on.

Not only were the onlookers stunned, but Xiao Gang even made a small move, pinching Binzi's arm hard.

Unfortunately, whether it was because he was too engrossed or for some other reason, he didn't succeed.

All that is known is that at this moment, Yang Bin might not even react if someone punched him.

"Cough~ cough~ cough~"

A few minutes passed before three deafening coughs finally pulled the engrossed crowd back to reality.

"Everyone, what Uncle Xiao said is pretty accurate. However, nowadays, planting resurrection grass on this land is extremely difficult."

Putting aside its growing cycle, just consider its growing environment. Excluding marine environments, less than 5% of the land in the world is suitable for cultivation.

However, while it can be grown, its growth cycle is unfortunately limited. Even in the most suitable environment, it takes about 10 years to mature.

Moreover, this is what my parents told me; the resurrection plants of today have already undergone degeneration. In ancient times, their growing conditions were even more demanding, and the growing time could have been extended to 50 to 100 years.

The two are incomparable in effectiveness. Even the resurrection herb in my secret realm has only evolved through generations of degeneration.

The one who reminds everyone and provides a detailed introduction is undoubtedly our little darling.

Unfortunately, after it finished speaking, everyone had a variety of expressions.

Some felt regret, some felt helpless, some were excited, and so on.

If we're talking about excitement, it's definitely Uncle Xiao. After all, he'd only seen the explanation of the resurrection grass once in a while.

Now that we can finally see the real thing, who wouldn't be excited?

Among those who felt regret and helplessness, Yang Bin, Xiao Gang, and Qianqian stood out the most.

Because I heard that even with the most suitable growing environment, it would take at least 10 years.

This is something that ordinary people really can't tolerate.

After all, in this world, even the most talented and shortest-lived elves only live for less than a year.

It can be said that ten years is just a blink of an eye for a long-lived elf.

But humans can't do that; ten years is already one-eighth of the average lifespan, and we really can't outlast that.

"Uh... everyone, could you please interrupt? I just pinched the surface of the pebble and I can roughly estimate that this resurrection grass seed comes from ancient times."

When Xuan Mingtian finished speaking, the first reaction of everyone and the elf was not to question or deny.

Instead, it was a deeper sense of helplessness and sighing. Even the little cutie shook his head, indicating that he would either collect the seeds or destroy them humanely.

Even the resurrection grass that has degenerated to its current form needs ten years to mature, but this guy's time has increased several times over.

If it weren't for our little darling, who always maintains a gentle and adorable demeanor in front of Da Congming, she probably would have already started cursing.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's and the elves' faces, Xuan Mingtian said indignantly, "Have you guys forgotten the most important thing?"

"Alright, alright, Brother Tian, ​​don't we understand you? You're just stubborn and headstrong. A small setback can help you grow."

At this moment, Yang Bin adopted the demeanor of a friendly older brother or a psychologist, patting Xuan Mingtian on the shoulder while comforting him.

Even Uncle Xiao couldn't help but speak up: "Yes, Xiao Tian, ​​it's just that it can't be used. Tomorrow I'll have the construction guys rush to build you a treasure room. You can put it in there so you'll have something to think about from time to time."

"That's right, that's right!"

"Yes, yes~"

……

Everyone, including the elves, was offering their own words of comfort to Xuan Mingtian.

In an instant, a feeling of being both amused and exasperated arose spontaneously.

"I say, folks, aren't you all misunderstanding me too much, or have you completely forgotten my abilities?"

The words had barely left his mouth when...

For some reason, everyone and the elves were frozen in place, as if they had been struck by acupuncture points.

And at that very moment~

"Tap-tap~tap-tap-tap..."

The sound of aquatic fish slapping the floor attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, including the elves.

And the main character, unsurprisingly, is none other than our Salted Fish King.

Just as it realized that all eyes were on it.

"Ah-ba~ Ah-ba~ Ah-ba..."

It immediately demonstrated what it means to blow bubbles.

Coupled with its melancholic (and disdainful) gaze, it seemed to be saying, "A bunch of idiots. When I was abducted, I was beaten so badly I couldn't take care of myself. Then, when I returned to this little villa, I had someone to treat me. Did you just eat this life energy and then casually excrete it?"

After the Salted Fish King finished babbling, it used its unique skill: using its two tentacles, it quickly and silently dragged its body towards the pond in the backyard.

Those in the hall, both humans and elves, who witnessed this scene fell silent for a full half minute.

At that moment, they all felt as if a flock of crows had flown overhead.

The carefree Bin was the first to react.

"This is outrageous! It's utterly... utterly disgraceful. To be looked down upon by a salted fish like this is unacceptable. I'm going to challenge it to a duel later."

Upon hearing Yang Bin's words, Qianqian immediately stepped in to contradict him: "Then you should go tonight. If you lose, you'll have to hand-wash my clothes for a month."

Then it was Xiao Qingmei's turn to react: "Brother Bin, you should just admit defeat. With your physique, let alone a one-on-one fight, just holding the Salted Fish King for half an hour would be enough to give you a hard time."

Then, Xiao Gang picked up the conversation again: "Yeah, Binzi, whatever happens, don't do anything rash."

"What the hell? Can't you guys say anything nice? Don't you have any faith in me at all?"

Yang Bin was greeted with nods from everyone.
