Chapter 188: White Jade Snow Orchid

Lin Yuan was enhancing a plant fey he had found in the wild. It seemed like a weed with no characteristics. It had three long, slender leaves with thick leaf blades.

Although this weed seemed like nothing special, it seemed to exude a different kind of formidable aura.

As Lin Yuan was injecting spirit qi into it, the ordinary weed was constantly changing. After a few hours, its leaves became longer and drooped downward, with a unique texture.

When a bunch of plain white flowers that grew straight out of the leaves bloomed, it immediately emanated a beautiful and refreshing fragrance, causing the room to instantly turn cooler.

This lush fragrance was not sweet and delicate at all, but an elegant fragrance. When one touched this orchid, it was as though one’s heart calmed down.

The reserved fragrance no longer spread out, but it was exceptionally deep, as though it contained the season and climate.

Lin Yuan stopped channeling his spiritual power, and when he looked at the Bronze/Epic White Jade Snow Orchid before him, he could not help but nod in satisfaction.

The fey that he had picked up and looked like a weed was actually an orchid.

At first, Lin Yuan felt that orchids were considered relatively rare feys, so he had picked it. However, he did not expect that he would nurture this orchid into a White Jade Snow Orchid.

The orchids in the world generally looked the same before they bloomed. Only when they bloomed could their value be specifically distinguished.

Plums, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums had always been the four most elegant plants. Although this White Jade Snow Orchid was not the most top-notch orchid, it was a fine fey that others could not ask for.

Just as Lin Yuan stretched his body and was about to take a closer look at the Bronze/Epic White Jade Snow Orchid, there were two soft knocks on the door, and he heard Wen Yu’s voice coming from outside. “Young Master, lunch is ready. It’s time to eat.”

Lin Yuan walked out of his room with the pot of White Jade Snow Orchid in his hands. When Wen Yu saw him come out, she was stunned.

It was said that a gentleman was like an orchid, but when Lin Yuan came out holding the orchid, Wen Yu suddenly had a feeling that an orchid was not as good as a gentleman. Perhaps it was because this young man’s aura was too outstanding that he suppressed the orchid’s aura.

When she examined the pot of orchid in Lin Yuan’s hand, she was astonished. She was also a Creation Master, so she had recognized at a glance that the orchid in his hands was an Epic White Jade Snow Orchid.

Of course, this was not what shocked her the most because she had seen many orchid feys and Epic feys. However, this Bronze/Epic fey was extremely rare, especially since it was an orchid fey.

Just like in the Radiant Moon Palace, the reward for the top spirit attendant every year was only a Bronze/Epic fey.

Wen Yu thought little of the Bronze/Epic White Jade Snow Orchid, as she had never expected Lin Yuan to nurture it. Instead, she thought that the Moon Empress might have gifted it to him.

Just as she was thinking this way, Lin Yuan said, “Come back to your senses!”

Wen Yu returned to her senses and found Lin Yuan looking at her, so she hurriedly replied, “Young Master, Big Brother Liu made lunch today. I’ll help you take this White Jade Snow Orchid.”

Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan handed it over to her and said, “Big Brother Liu’s cooking talent is definitely excellent.”

Lin Yuan had been skeptical when Liu Jie had previously said that he could cook. Based on Liu Jie’s honest face, Lin Yuan really did not think that he looked like someone who could cook.

After Liu Jie had made a meal, he had conquered Lin Yuan’s and Wen Yu’s stomachs and made them become foodies, causing them to wait for him to cook every day. It was not because the two of them could not cook. Rather, it was because Liu Jie’s cooking was simply too delicious.

Even though Lin Yuan had eaten the Spirit Food Pavilion’s chef’s dishes, they were not as good as the ones Liu Jie made.

Wen Yu carefully took the White Jade Snow Orchid from Lin Yuan and asked, “Young Master, where do I put this White Jade Snow Orchid?”

Lin Yuan answered, “Didn’t Big Brother Liu say last time that the spiritual ingredients are not fresh the next day, even after putting them in the refrigerator? Put this White Jade Snow Orchid next to those spiritual ingredients in the kitchen. It will solve his problems.”

Wen Yu was listening carefully, but when Lin Yuan told her to put it in the kitchen to keep the ingredients fresh, she opened her mouth wide. Her cherry-like mouth opened as wide as a hippopotamus’s mouth, so wide that even a pineapple could fit inside.

Fortunately, her hands were stable. Otherwise, this Bronze/Epic White Jade Snow Orchid would have dropped on the ground.

Although the White Jade Snow Orchid was not considered the best among the orchid feys, it could be called a top-notch one.

The White Jade Snow Orchid was a support-type fey. When it was placed indoors, it could lower the temperature to a soothing but not too cold state due to its properties. Its fragrance could also promote plant growth.

It was pretty useful to Creation Masters. If a Creation Master contracted a White Jade Snow Orchid, it could play a supporting role when nurturing plant-type feys.

Thus, placing such a good thing in the kitchen and using its aroma and cooling effect to keep the spiritual ingredients fresh was unheard of. It was simply a low-key luxury.

When Lin Yuan saw Wen Yu with her mouth wide open, he could not help but say, “If you’re hungry, I’ll see if I can help Big Brother Liu with anything so that we can serve quickly.” Then he walked to the kitchen.

Wen Yu could not help but criticize, Young Master is really a guy who fails to understand women.

Before Lin Yuan walked to the kitchen, Liu Jie came out with the dishes. There were four dishes for the three of them—Kung Pao chicken, sweet and sour pork, squirrel fish[1], and cumin meat slices. These four were all meat dishes, as Liu Jie had figured out what Lin Yuan and Wen Yu loved to eat. They all had similar tastes and were pure carnivores.

After Liu Jie placed the dishes on the table, Wen Yu slowly came out of the kitchen and said, “Young Master, Big Brother Liu, the kitchen is going to become the most fragrant place in this manor.”

Liu Jie did not understand what she meant and thought that she was praising him.

However, Lin Yuan could not help but raise his brows. Although the White Jade Snow Orchid had a clear and aromatic fragrance, he still preferred the agarwood smell.

The White Jade Snow Orchid was not as calming as the agarwood. The White Jade Snow Orchid’s fragrance would stay on the clothes and leave traces, but the agarwood’s fragrance would refresh the mind, calm the mind, and only stay on the sleeves.

After the meal, Wen Yu and Lin Yuan praised Liu Jie, making him giggle on his firm and honest face.

Liu Jie could not help but think, When I was in the team with Bai Hao and Wang Fan, why didn’t they praise me when they ate my cooking? Such ingrates!
