Chapter 1145: Immortal Farming Pavilion
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
"Is this Immortal Farming Pavilion?"
2 hours later, walking with Zhang Tie on a street of Gold and Power Market, Bai Suxian turned around and watched the Immortal Farming Pavilion with full of curiosity in his eyes.
The street was not the main road of Gold and Power Market. It was a bit reluctant to call it a street; precisely, it was more like a slightly spacious lane.
Compared to the bustling people on the other streets of Gold and Power Market, this place was relatively quieter. Although this street was not wide, because vehicles and mounts were forbidden in Gold and Power Market, even the minister of justice of Taixia Country had to walk in Gold and Power Market; therefore, it was not noisy here.
"This is Immortal Farming Pavilion, the only Immortal Farming Pavilion in Gold and Power Market!" The 11 years old boy who led Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian here said firmly; at the same time, he looked straight into Zhang Tie's eyes as if he was afraid that they would repudiate a debt.
Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he flicked a gold coin at this boy, "Thanks for your hard work!"
"Thanks, childe, if you two have other needs, just find me, little six at the Dui Gate of Gold and Power Market. If you want to go other places today, I will serve you for free!" The boy revealed a big smile as he took Zhang Tie's gold coin and put it in a pocket under his coat. Closely after that, he bowed towards Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian and slid away as nimbly as a monkey.
Treasures Meeting was the grand meeting of knights, rich businessmen and many children from common clans. Many kids had already poured into Gold and Power Market and gathered at those entrances of Gold and Power Market. Gold and Power Market was as large as a small city. If outsiders couldn't find a place, they could fetch a kid casually who would be very pleased to lead them to the destination. During the period of Treasures Meeting, those who visited Gold and Power Market were not commoners; they were all generous in expenditure. Gold coins were nothing different than copper coins in their eyes. Like Zhang Tie, they would spend 1 gold coin as a tip casually, which would surprise these kids a lot.
After what happened yesterday, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian didn't enter Qian Gate today; instead, they got off the vehicle at the Dui Gate. At the sight of their brilliant clothes and unusual looks, a lot of kids ran towards them immediately and wanted to be their guide. This boy called little six was smarter as he directly called Bai Suxian sister. Being satisfied by this appellation, Bai Suxian immediately selected this boy as their guide.
Zhang Tie was also watching the Immortal Farming Pavilion. At least from its look, Zhang Tie couldn't identify that it was the residence of Jiang Clan of Herbal Medicine Palace. Besides being tranquil, it looked more like a courtyard of a common family. However, the three words "Immortal Farming Pavilion" looked a bit interesting as they were not inscribed on the top of the gate, but on a huge rock at the gate. The huge rock was in the shadow. Alongside that huge rock, there was a small artificial rockery while water was flowing down the rockery. The huge rock was covered with thick green mosses which formed three words "Immortal Farming Pavilion".
People came and went. It seemed that this place still didn't lack business although being located in such a remote place. 'Good wine needs no bush.'
"Let's take a look inside!" Zhang Tie told Bai Suxian with a smile. Bai Suxian nodded tamely as she followed Zhang Tie in.
The moment they entered the gate, Zhang Tie had caught sight of the colorful peony powders, pink, red, purple, yellow, green, black and white. It was really dazzling. Smelling the fragrance of the peony and watching the peonies in full blossom in the garden, Zhang Tie became a bit amazed. 'According to my knowledge, peony always blooms in May or June; however, it's already November. How could these peonies bloom in this season while there's not a greenhouse? Jiang Clan is really something!'
"I was told that one ancestral bloodline of Immortal Farming Clan that Jiang Clan awakened was called Flower Gentleman. After awakening this bloodline, they could allow flowers to bloom whenever they want. This peony blooms must be the meritorious service of Flower Gentleman of Jiang Clan. It's the best live advertisement that could display Jiang Clan's power..."
Bai Suxian's words entered Zhang Tie's ears in a secret way. Zhang Tie blinked his eyes as he asked Bai Suxian, "Is there such an ancestral bloodline?"
"The one who manages the imperial garden of the emperor's imperial city in Xuanyuan Hill is a member of Jiang Clan. When a member of the Jiang Clan of Herbal Medicine Palace manages the imperial garden, whenever Emperor Xuanyuan visited the garden, Jiang Clan would allow various flowers in the imperial garden to bloom in an order. Even Emperor Xuanyuan had praised the beautiful blooms in the imperial garden. Don't you know that?"
Zhang Tie indeed didn't know about that. However, Bai Suxian's words reminded Zhang Tie of the scene when he arrived at Ice and Snow Wilderness for the second time and allowed all the golden sea buckthorns to bloom over Ice and Snow Wilderness for the sake of propaganda. Of course, the scene shocked those Slavs and believers of Ancient God Church too much; however, Steward Guan Xiyi of Golden Roc Bank on his side was not amazed by that too much; neither did he treat Peter as a God. At that time, Zhang Tie even thought that Steward Guan Xiyi just pretended to be calm or didn't believe in God. Given Bai Suxian's words, Zhang Tie realized that Guan Xiyi must have already owned all the marvelous phenomena through which Peter had awakened some ancestral bloodlines such as Flower Gentleman. Therefore, Guan Xiyi looked that calm.
Bai Suxian's words relieved a puzzle that had existed in Zhang Tie's mind a few years ago.
After they talked for a short while, a young woman in green clothes had walked towards them in a lightsome way with a smile, "Hi, may I help you?"
"Hmm, I want to do some business with Jiang Clan. Buy some seeds!" Zhang Tie replied frankly.
The woman in green clothes glanced at Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian before nodding, "Please follow me!"
Under the guidance of that woman in green clothes, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian entered a relatively independent yet tranquil room on the side of the peony garden. After making a cup of tea for Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian respectively and telling them that a steward would come here to negotiate with them about the details after a short while and confirmed that they didn't have any other demand, the young woman left in a lightsome way.
After the woman left, the room was filled with the fragrance of tea water. Zhang Tie sniffed and had a sip before finding that they were served with the top-quality wild spring tea water.
Speaking of the value, the two cups of tea water in front of Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian was far more valuable than 1 gold coin that Zhang Tie gave to the boy just now. The woman in green clothes had sharp eyes. She could identify that Bai Suxian was a knight. Now that Bai Suxian behaved tamely in front of Zhang Tie, the woman realized that Zhang Tie was definitely not a commoner and it would not be a small business; neither would they come here to drink tea for free; therefore, she brought Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian here.
The woman was not very beautiful; however, she behaved in a good manner when she received Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian. Although being smart, she didn't display it; therefore, Zhang Tie felt pretty comfortable as he sighed with emotion inside, 'That's what a top clan should be! Given its look, the entire Immortal Farming Pavilion has nothing to do with magnificence; however, the peony garden and the two cups of wild spring tea water felt rich and dignified in simple life like what a real major clan should be! It seemed that all the major clans in Taixia Country liked this style. Those who wanted to show that they were rich were all nouveau riches.
It was not a big room; however, it was arranged in a plain and elegant way. The only decoration on the wall was a clear and beautiful calligraphic work of the poem "Common Flowers will wither".
——
Common flowers and grasses will wither sooner or later, only the beautiful peony still blooms in this morning;
The scarlet flowers being covered with dew slightly incline like having drunk too much sweet alcohol, leaving their beautiful looks to the late spring;
I appreciate it until sunset while the warm spring wind wavers the leaves constantly;
The rich fragrance of peony blooms enters the room from the window as if it is having a blind date with the people lying on the bed silently.
When Zhang Tie was having tea water and tasting the realm of the poem "Common flowers will wither", a spirited old man entered the room. After sitting squarely in front of Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian, he revealed a genial smile, "This humble old man is Jiang Yu, one steward of Immortal Farming Pavilion, I was told that you wanted to buy some plant seeds from Immortal Farming Pavilion?"
"Yes, I want to buy some plant seeds!" Zhang Tie replied.
"May I know what kind of plant seeds do you want and how many do you want, childe?" The old man asked.
"Do you have all the seeds that I want?"
Jiang Yu picked up his teacup and had a sip before saying, "We could provide you all the seeds as long as you could name or draw them..."
The so-called arrogant demeanor didn't mean that you had to squint at someone or sneer at him. Like what this old man did, having a sip of tea water before telling you that we could provide you with all the seeds that you could name or draw. This was the real arrogant demeanor.
"I want a plant seeds bank which contains all the plant seeds that you could provide!" Zhang Tie replied with a smile. He didn't feel disgusted about the arrogance of Jiang Clan; instead, he appreciated it very much. The more arrogant Jiang Clan was, the more possible would this business be made. That was what Zhang Tie wanted.
Jiang Yu didn't feel amazed by Zhang Tie's words. Zhang Tie was not the first one who proposed such a requirement to Herbal Medicine Pavilion. Because more and more major clans across Taixia Country would like to store seeds in the past one year, Jiang Clan's business was growing better. Overall, this might not a good omen; however, it was just a business; now that the customers arrived, it was not reasonable for them to refuse the customers. Who could predict what would happen in the future?
"Do you want all the plant seeds except for grain seeds?"
"Yes, all of them!"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Jiang Yu became slightly spirited as he straightened up his body a bit more and said, "Jiang Clan could provide you 513,697 plant seeds, 125,471 among which come from the Earth-elements Realm, 39,817 among which were aquatic plant seeds from freshwater and salt water. These plant seeds cover all the categories of plants that humans have discovered till now. It's only 192 special plant seeds less than the seeds bank of the Finance Ministry of Taixia Country..."
