The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

Yue Zhao was silent for a moment before saying slowly, “Your modifications are… quite creative. Next time you have such changes, you might want to discuss them with Master, Second Junior Sister, or Third Junior Brother.”

Anything but him. His poor heart couldn’t take much more of this.

“But Senior Brother, you said I’m creative,” Yun Jin’s eyes curved in a smile. “I like people who praise me, so next time, I’ll still come to you first.”

Yue Zhao: “???”

Should I say thank you?

Yue Zhao took a deep breath and said, “These techniques… you may have mastered them all. But techniques alone aren’t enough. Little Junior Sister, do you understand the habits of each herb? Some like sunlight, some don’t, some need watering every hour, some dissolve when touched by water… These all require systematic study. I’ve heard some people are born with an affinity for plants, allowing them to communicate directly with plants to understand their needs. Like beast affinity, it’s a talent cultivators dream of. Little Junior Sister, you probably…”

Yue Zhao stopped abruptly.

He hesitated for a long while before saying, “You probably… don’t have this talent, right?”

Then, he saw Yun Jin flash him a brilliant smile.

Yue Zhao’s heart skipped a beat.

Why did he suddenly have another ominous premonition?

“I don’t really understand herb habits and such,” Yun Jin said somewhat bashfully. “But I’m so cute and kind, naturally overflowing with charm. These spirit plants should be willing to change their habits for me, right?”

Yue Zhao kept his mouth tightly shut.

Reason told him to refute this.

But remembering the spirit rain that fell earlier, he decided to observe further.

Yue Zhao said very cautiously, “Then… why don’t you try?”

“Alright.”

Yun Jin agreed, first using Earth Control to loosen the soil, then pouring out a pile of seeds and tossing them into the air.

The seeds quickly scattered across the ground.

“Senior Brother, do you think this is okay?” Yun Jin asked.

Yue Zhao’s expression changed several times before he slowly said, “You… do as you see fit…”

As a transmigrator, he absolutely refused to become a tool for his Junior Sister’s showing off.

Yun Jin felt somewhat disappointed.

This Senior Brother was too cautious; emotional value was becoming harder to extract.

Yun Jin sighed, then cast another Minor Cloud Rain Technique.

As the minor cloud rain fell, the seeds showed no change.

No!

Change!

At all!

Yue Zhao’s eyes widened.

Was this heaven’s mercy?

His Junior Sister’s reckless approach truly didn’t work.

Yue Zhao finally found the courage to say, “Little Junior Sister, you’ve put spirit plants of all attributes together. This will cause mutual interference. Some plants can have positive effects on each other when placed together, but dumping all the seeds together like this definitely won’t work.”

Yun Jin listened and nodded in agreement. “Senior Brother, I think these seeds might be in a bad mood, that’s why they don’t want to come out. How about I try telling them some jokes?”

Yue Zhao: “…”

He endured and endured before finally uttering his all-purpose phrase: “Why don’t you… give it a try?”

Yun Jin blinked. “I don’t know any jokes. Senior Brother, you’re more knowledgeable. Could you write down some jokes for me to read?”

Yue Zhao felt like Yun Jin was already telling a joke.

But what could he do as the Senior Brother? Yue Zhao casually recorded a few jokes from his past life onto a jade slip and handed it to Yun Jin.

Yun Jin checked the jade slip and sat down among the spirit plants.

“Planting simplification: Telling plants jokes daily can keep them in good spirits, promoting growth. (Can greatly reduce environmental constraints. Only effective for Yellow-grade spirit plants.)”

Yun Jin began to tell jokes.

“A famous plant cultivator and his disciple were searching for spirit plants in the wild when the disciple suddenly asked, ‘Master, what should we do if we encounter unfamiliar spirit plants?’

The cultivator replied, ‘To avoid this, I usually walk in front and trample to death any plants I don’t recognize.'”

After finishing, it was unclear how the seeds reacted.

But Yun Jin burst into laughter. “Senior Brother, you’re so talented!”

Yue Zhao lowered his head.

For some reason, he suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

He now regretted his perfect memory since arriving in this world of cultivation. Even things he’d only glanced at in his past life, he could recall clearly.

Today! He’d unwittingly become Yun Jin’s accomplice.

Yun Jin continued to vividly recite jokes while Yue Zhao could only stare at his toes, hoping this would all end soon.

Telling jokes to spirit plants, hoping they’d feel better and grow on their own, seemed a bit…

As Yue Zhao was internally criticizing, suddenly, he looked up and was dumbfounded.

Yun Jin sat in the center telling jokes.

Around her, spirit plant seedlings of various colors slowly emerged.

The Minor Cloud Rain Technique continuously showered spirit rain, and these seedlings, like little babies, greedily absorbed the spiritual energy.

“Metal attribute… Wood attribute… Earth attribute… Water attribute… Fire attribute…” Yue Zhao dazedly observed these different attribute plants growing together in harmony.

Suddenly, he had a strange premonition.

Could it be that the coexistence of the five elements was the true way?

The current cultivation world believed Celestial Spirit Roots to be the supreme root, while Five Element Roots were considered the most useless.

But were Five Element Roots truly useless?

Yue Zhao watched as seedlings of five attributes absorbed spiritual energy together, their five elemental energies slowly intertwining in the air. Under the nurturing of the spirit rain, a rainbow even appeared in the sky.

And Yun Jin sat beneath this rainbow, continuing to tell her jokes.

He didn’t know if the seeds were laughing, but Yun Jin was doubled over with laughter as she spoke.

As Yue Zhao watched, he too began to smile.

This Junior Sister of his…

She truly never did anything normal.

But perhaps this abnormality was quite interesting?

When the spirit rain stopped and the clouds dissipated, Yun Jin evaporated the moisture on her body and stood up, dusting off her bottom.

“Senior Brother, it seems these plants are in a much better mood now,” Yun Jin said.

“It appears so,” Yue Zhao replied very calmly.

Yun Jin suddenly felt quite bored.

This wouldn’t do.

She couldn’t extract much more from her Senior Brother.

Next target: Second Senior Sister.

“Senior Brother, could you think of more jokes? Later I’ll have Gu Jinghong come tell jokes to the spirit plants,” Yun Jin said.

Yue Zhao agreed very coolly.

Nothing in this world could disrupt his composure now.

He was now a cold and aloof handsome man.

“These spirit plants seem to be adapting well for now. Should casting the Minor Cloud Rain Technique once a day be enough from here on?” Yue Zhao asked, somewhat uncertainly.

Different fields were like different mountains; he didn’t understand plant cultivation matters.

“Probably,” Yun Jin nodded.

She didn’t really understand either.

Real plant cultivators probably did something similar, right?

She, Yun Jin, must have unknowingly figured out the correct way of plant cultivation.

Meanwhile, Gu Jinghong, who had just finished supervising the five people’s hundred rounds of sword practice, remotely received Yun Jin’s next instruction.

“Go to various herb gardens and chat with water, earth, and metal attribute spirit plants. The higher their level and the more spiritual energy, the better.”

Gu Jinghong: “…”

Chat with spirit plants? And specified attributes at that.

Was this some kind of illness?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Yun Jin sensed it, and the contract punishment instantly struck.

Gu Jinghong’s face turned pale, and he dared not think further.

He only sadly reflected that previously, he was the madman everyone feared.

Now, he was afraid he’d become the lunatic everyone mocked.
