Chapter 133: The Succulent Master’s Powerful Return

After planting the vegetable seeds, Zhou Yu patted the dirt off his hands, his heart filled with anticipation. Vegetables grown with spiritual energy, combined with Immortal Flavor Fruit Powder when cooked—he imagined the taste would be incredibly delicious.

If he added some of these vegetables while stewing Spirit Beast Meat, just thinking about it made his mouth water right now. For people on Earth these days, food was very important among clothing, food, shelter, and transportation.

He looked at the two vibrant green bamboo plants within the Immortal Flavor Fruit’s area nearby, and his face showed expectation. He wondered when these two Jade Sound Bamboos from the Immortal Sound Sect would fully mature in this Mid-grade Spirit Gathering Array.

On his way back, Zhou Yu saw the Jade Dews in the previous Shanzhai No. 2 Array. These mature Jade Dews had already adapted to the environment now, thanks to the two Demolition Chickens who had violently demolished the counterfeit Spirit Gathering Array.

Looking at these Jade Dews, he thought for a moment and decided to put one Amber Jade Dew and one variegated Kuroji Haworthia Cooperi (Black Muscle Jade Dew) up for auction on Xianrou Garden.

Then, Zhou Yu placed the two Jade Dews he planned to auction into pots. He took photos from multiple angles with his mobile phone. After that, he went into the room, opened the notebook, and logged into Xianrou Garden.

After logging into the website, there were still many message notifications. Many people were hoping for his return—the Succulent Master—to hold auctions on Xianrou Garden.

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but smile. He cleared the messages. Just as he was about to close the message interface, another message popped up: You have received a private message from an administrator.

Seeing this prompt, his expression changed slightly. Perhaps it was still from Flower Fairy. He opened it, and indeed it was. “Flower Not Flower, I’ve already received the two White Snake Legend Jade Dew leaves. I’ve planted them in pots now. They are simply too beautiful. I believe they will be just as lovely when they grow up.”

“Haha, you’re too kind, Moderator. I think only such beautiful Jade Dews are worthy of a Flower Fairy like you.” Zhou Yu typed out this line with a smile. Naturally, he was also curious about this mysterious head moderator, Flower Fairy.

“You flatter me. I cannot compare to the beauty of the White Snake Legend Jade Dew.” Flower Fairy was silent for a while before replying.

Seeing this reply, Zhou Yu’s eyes brightened. These words indicated that Flower Fairy was definitely a woman.

“A Jade Dew only needs two or three years to mature, while a girl takes eighteen years from birth to adulthood. From this, you can see which kind of beauty is more precious.” Zhou Yu slowly typed out this line.

Flower Fairy replied, “Flower Not Flower, thank you for your praise. I need to handle some matters. Farewell for now.”

“Alright, farewell. I also need to go post the auction announcement.” Zhou Yu nodded. After all, they weren’t very familiar with each other, so the conversation should end appropriately.

“Auction announcement post—are you going to hold an auction on the forum again?” Seeing this message, Flower Fairy replied once more.

Zhou Yu nodded. He had gained a lot from this forum, and it had provided a good sales channel for his Jade Dews. Naturally, he couldn’t just abandon Xianrou Garden. “Yes, many people are waiting for me, the Succulent Master, to return. I can’t let them down.”

“Flower Not Flower, thank you for your contributions to the forum.” Flower Fairy replied with a smiley face. In her opinion, the forum’s development had reached its limit. The previous auction by Flower Not Flower had caused a surge in the forum’s growth. This auction would likely do the same.

“I should thank Fairy Moderator for creating this forum. It has given me a lot of help. Now it’s time to give back a little.” Zhou Yu replied.

Flower Fairy felt somewhat touched. She said thank you again and bid farewell to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu then opened the Agave section on Xianrou Garden and made a post. The title was still the same as last time: Preview Photos Before Auction of Mature Amber Jade Dew and Mature Kuroji Haworthia Cooperi Variegata.

In the post, he also gave a general introduction of these Jade Dews. He noted that the auction would be held two days later at 10 a.m., lasting for one hour. Then he uploaded the two sets of photos he had taken.

After clicking ‘post’, Zhou Yu closed the laptop. Some forum users browsing Xianrou Garden refreshed the page and saw this post. Among them, there were inevitably some skeptical people. But when they saw the poster’s name, all doubt vanished, replaced only by excitement. They instantly clicked on the post.

When they saw the tri-colored Amber Jade Dew and the pink-variegated Kuroji Haworthia Cooperi inside, everyone was stunned.

The dreamy beauty of the Amber Jade Dew combined with the alluring beauty of the Kuroji Haworthia Cooperi Variegata was simply irresistible.

Flower Not Flower, the great master, has powerfully returned! Who in Xianrou Garden dares to challenge him?!

Flower Not Flower, the great master, has finally returned! As soon as he appears, he’s auctioning these two precious mature Jade Dews. So domineering, I love it!

Flower Not Flower, I love you! I want to have your babies!

The person above, you don’t want to have Flower Not Flower’s babies; you just want these beautiful Jade Dews, right?

Last time, Flower Not Flower’s auction caused a storm in the succulent world. This time, with Flower Not Flower returning to hold an auction again, surely the succulent world will fall into huge chaos once more.

Countless people, after seeing this post, expressed their inner excitement. After a month’s wait, their long-anticipated master, Flower Not Flower, had finally reappeared. And as they say, he didn’t just make a sound—he made an astonishing one.

The number of clicks and replies on the post within an hour far surpassed the previous auction. Everyone who got the news even put down their work to log into Xianrou Garden and see the beauty of these two Jade Dews.

Some wealthy enthusiasts even declared that both of these Jade Dews would be theirs this time, and not a single one would be snatched away by Young Master Qi again.

The news that Master Flower Not Flower had returned to auction one mature Amber Jade Dew and one mature Kuroji Haworthia Cooperi Variegata spread throughout the entire succulent world in a very short time. Immediately, excitement surged, and one by one, people logged into Xianrou Garden to take a look.

Looking at the replies and click count of this post, which had broken records again, many veteran members who had been on Xianrou Garden for a long time couldn’t help but sigh. The previous auction had established Master Flower Not Flower’s status. And now, this time, it made his fame and position even more solid. No one could shake it anymore.

In the eyes of many, the Jade Dews cultivated by Master Flower Not Flower were unlike any they had seen elsewhere. Especially that unique sense of vitality, which made the Jade Dews seem almost alive.

After closing the computer, Zhou Yu checked the time. He cut a few more pieces of meat and put them in the pot to stew, planning to give some to his parents in the evening. As for the bones, he intended to try them himself first later.

Especially that most important Spirit Beast head—he couldn’t just stew it carelessly. He needed to wait until the vegetables he planted matured and other conditions were right before stewing it. After all, this was the most essential part of a Spirit Beast. Surely the energy released would be very substantial.

Not long after posting, Zhou Yu received a call from Qi Jinxuan, who naturally asked about the post on Xianrou Garden.

Zhou Yu just smiled and said he had received a lot of help from Xianrou Garden, and this was a way of giving back.

Qi Jinxuan then felt relieved. He had thought his offered price was too low, making Zhou Yu dissatisfied, which was why he was holding an auction.

His succulent shop was one thing, but now his restaurant, relying on Immortal Flavor Fruit Powder, had already captured over half of the upper-class market in Jing City. Moreover, people from nearby cities occasionally came, attracted by its reputation.

At the same time, he also told Zhou Yu that he wouldn’t participate in this auction. Otherwise, if he won a bid, he would definitely earn people’s resentment.

That afternoon, besides Qi Jinxuan’s call, Lü Wenshan from Wanbao Zhai in Shengjing Antique City also called. He said the Pink Coral ornament had been finished and asked Zhou Yu to come pick it up when he had time.

Zhou Yu thanked him and said he would go to Jing City tomorrow morning. After hanging up, he felt a sense of anticipation. He wondered how beautiful this Pink Coral would look as an ornament.

After the meat finished stewing, Zhou Yu waited until a little after four o’clock. Then he sealed the pot, placed it in the car, and brought Huzi and the others to the beach. After letting them out, he drove the car back home.

Compared to Wind Eagle Meat, this Spirit Beast Meat released more heat. So Zhou Yu didn’t take too much, to prevent his parents’ bodies from being unable to handle it after eating.

Besides, he thought giving his parents some to eat every once in a while was the best way. After all, their bodies needed time to digest it, and this also helped with his secrecy.

After returning home that night, Zhou Yu closed the door, fed the animals, and went into the innermost room in the yard.

In this room was the Jade Carving Machine that had been delivered that morning. Because there were too many things to do, he hadn’t had time to test it. Now, in the evening, he finally had time and naturally needed to start carving.

The Low-Grade Spirit Gathering Array was no longer worth carving. What he intended to carve now was the Mid-grade Spirit Gathering Array he obtained from Uncle-Master Wu. Of course, this ‘mid-grade’ was his own judgment based on the quality of the Immortal Stones.

The ultimate goal of this test wasn’t to assess the machine’s carving ability, but to carve out this Spirit Gathering Array and then test whether the activation conditions for the array would be lowered. After all, this was only a counterfeit version of the Spirit Gathering Array.

However, regardless of whether this counterfeit Spirit Gathering Array required spiritual power to activate, he needed to spend the coming time sensing spiritual power and learning to release it.

He brought over the cheap Jade Stones he bought from Jing City. From them, he selected five pieces of equivalent value, type, and size. Then he placed them in the carving machine, connected it to his notebook, opened the carving machine control software, selected the previously prepared Jade Stone pattern diagrams, and started carving the first pattern.
