Calling out to Gu Sheng, Lan Yao excitedly asked, "Gu Sheng, is this Hundred Ghost Grass that you planted?"
Gu Sheng was stunned when he heard this.
"Hundred Ghost Grass? What’s that?"
After he spoke, Lan Yao was also stunned.
"Well, there are quite a few in your yard, aren’t these planted by you?"
Leaning over to take a look, Gu Sheng shook his head, "I don’t recognize it. It’s not something I planted; it grew on its own. Only the patch of meticulously tended herbs was planted by me."
Turning to look, Lan Yao gently furrowed his brows.
"So you’re saying the ordinary herbs were planted by you, and these few valuable Hundred Ghost Grass grew naturally?"
"Valuable? Is this thing rare?"
"Of course! Our Elf Clan tried to plant them, but each time they failed when trying to split the petals, and ended up with a single stalk growth which was valueless. Look at yours, though it’s a small one, it has already split into three petals, and is quite valuable!"
"And those?"
"Those also, some have two petals, some have three, all are very valuable. Are you sure you never tended them, and they grew naturally?"
"Yes, I’ve never considered these things significant, so I let them grow. If they were useful, I would have eradicated them long ago."
Upon hearing this, Lan Yao excitedly stood up.
"That won’t do! The value of just one of these Hundred Ghost Grasses is higher than all the herbs in your yard, how could you eradicate it? Are you mad?"
After he spoke, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
"If you hadn’t mentioned it, I truly wouldn’t know what it is and naturally would treat it as useless."
"Gu Sheng, you’re truly baffling. I diligently cultivate, and yet nothing grows; you inattentively plant willows and they flourish, and you don’t even recognize it. Thankfully I came today, otherwise these Hundred Ghost Grass would have been wasted."
Touching the fragile little grass, Lan Yao gently asked, "Gu Sheng, now that you know what it is, could you let me study it a bit? Don’t worry, I won’t take a single one away, I just want to research and see if the Elf Clan can cultivate them."
"Go ahead, you can research however you want, even if you dig them up and take them back to the Elf Clan, it’s fine."
"Really?"
"Of course, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gotten these herbs. You’re their benefactor, so naturally you have the right to handle them."
"Then I won’t hold back."
"Do friends need to be so polite? I’ve never heard of it. If you need, I can even hand over everything to you, it doesn’t matter."
Hearing Gu Sheng’s words, Lan Yao was deeply grateful.
"Gu Sheng, thank you."
"I remember friends don’t need to thank each other, isn’t that right?"
Seeing his eyebrow-raising expression, Lan Yao couldn’t help but laugh.
