Chapter 251 Just Selling Goods
After arranging everything properly, Dixia repeated the work of giving elemental power to the pollen and mixing the processed pollen with the inactivated pollen.
What was different from before was that after processing the pollen, she immediately put the pollen into a glass bottle, put the bottle into her backpack, and then put on the backpack and ran to the culture room where the mother plant was placed.
She skillfully pollinated the fifty selected female plants of the dual elements of thunder and fire, then bagged them and put them back in the culture room.
After working for fifteen hours straight, Dixia was so tired that she slumped down on a rock chair covered with animal skins, her neck tilted back, her hands hanging naturally, and she only glanced at the mother plant in a culture room with the corner of her eyes.
It had just been pollinated, and its movements had become unusually slow. This time, they did not quietly absorb elemental power as usual, or squat in the flowerpot to absorb nutrients and water from the soil.
This time, Haroldt even removed the pots for them and only installed a sprinkler on the ceiling of the culture room. Dixia needed to turn on the sprinkler once in the morning and evening every day according to Haroldt's requirements.
After the mother plants have absorbed all the water, they will be allowed to absorb her fire elemental power. This time, Harold divided the fifty mother plants into ten groups.
She was asked to feed the ten groups of mother plants in the order of zero first group, low elemental force second group, lower elemental force third group... from less elemental force to more.
In order to let her remember this, Haroldt put colored cards next to the culture room of each mother plant. The cards were red, from dark to light, representing the amount of elemental force input.
It’s been so complicated...it should finally work this time, right?
After resting for half a minute, Dixia wiped her face, struggled to stand up, and walked tiredly towards the stone bed covered with animal skins.
The stage just after pollination is the most tiring. She can only sleep for four hours, and then she has to get up to turn on the sprinkler and feed the mother plant.
At least I can relax a little after tomorrow. Dixia thought, hugging the pillow and falling into a deep sleep.

8:00 AM, Xumi City, Teachings Courtyard
Azar received a report from the discipline officer.
He tore open the outer paper, took out a stack of documents, and glanced at a few lines. His attention was instantly attracted and his careless attitude changed.
There are results.
When rumors about the appearance of the Little Auspicious Grass King in Omos Port, Xumi City, and Kawan Post were rampant, he immediately ordered the disciplinary officers to stop the rumors and find out the source of the rumors.
In his expectation, the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to make a fortune by spreading rumors and secretly cultivating loyal believers. Anyone who could do such a thing must have planned it in advance. He would definitely hide himself very deeply and might even arrange a few scapegoats among the people who spread the rumors.
What he could not have imagined was that the source of the rumor was actually several businessmen, three of whom were well-known multinational businessmen.
In order to sell newly produced fertilizers, fruits, freeze-dried mushrooms and other products and make these new products more competitive in the market, they hypothesized that the inspiration for the products came from the guidance of the little auspicious grass king, and fabricated the appearance of the little auspicious grass king to be very realistic.
As for the widely circulated image of the Little Auspicious Grass King, these merchants explained that it came from the folk description of the Great Kindness Tree King.
Just a coincidence?
Hazard frowned and snorted in disdain in his heart, thinking that these businessmen were simply lawless and would do anything to make money.
Then, he took out a blank document and drafted an official document. He ordered the disciplinary officer to detain all the masterminds for three weeks and post their names and deeds on the bulletin board for public display.
And in the void, the crime of "defrauding the public" was added to their personal information column, and high taxes far exceeding the normal tax rate were charged on all their new goods.
Thinking of what the disciplinary officer had found out about the quantity of goods prepared by those big merchants and the export volume, Azar quickly estimated in his mind and found that it could barely make up for the shortfalls in the purchase of food and equipment by the House of Lords, solving his urgent problem.
His attitude towards those businessmen softened slightly, so he simply changed the detention time from three weeks to one week and allowed them to be released on bail.
After writing, he checked it again. After confirming that it was correct, he stamped the file bag with a seal with his own name on it, and then stamped it with a seal representing his identity as the Grand Sage of the House of Decrees, and then handed the file bag to Setale.
"Give this to the acting Grand Disciplinary Officer," Azar ordered.
"Yes." Setale nodded, took the documents and trotted out of the sage's office.
After Seno left Xumi, his partner Tajie took over the post of the Grand Disciplinary Officer temporarily. After asking a few people, Setale finally found the old senior who was patrolling the streets of Xumi City.
After handing the letter to him, Setale briefly repeated Azar's request.
Taje listened to Setale's words while tearing open the file bag and reading the documents.
Tajie finished reading quickly and told Setare that he had no questions and did not need her to tell the great sage anything.
Setale bowed slightly to him and said, "Thank you for your hard work, senior. Please complete the instructions of the great sage as soon as possible." Then she took her leave.
When she returned to the Sage's Office of the Ordinance Court, she was about to knock on the door when she heard a heated argument between two old men in the office.
One of the slightly hoarse but majestic voices obviously came from Azar, and the other came from Nafis, a sage of the Vijnanika school whom Setare often heard in the past few days.
"The newly launched fertilizer seems to be more effective than the old batch. Has the sage of the Life Theory School not had time to purchase the stock for your academy?" Azar's voice was filled with strong sarcasm.
"Stop talking nonsense. Are you going to tell the story or not?!" Nafis' voice was louder than Hazard's.
Azar, who had been harassed by Nafis these days, finally felt that he was in a favorable situation. He raised his head and sneered: "How can you, a sage of the Life Theory School, be so slow about agricultural and sideline products? Have you been busy causing trouble for me recently?
Listen to what those fertilizer merchants say, "Our new products come from the gift of Lord Little Lucky Grass King", "Inspiration comes from Lord Little Lucky Grass King"...
Don't you understand? How can a wise man not have this much judgment? "
After hearing this, Nafis quickly connected the cause and effect and felt bored for a moment, but he didn't want to easily reveal it. Hazard's attitude in the past few days was very telling. He also sneered and said in a less sharp tone:
“What the great sage is saying is that the merchants are behind all this, and you are not planning anything, nor are you trying to control Little Auspicious Grass King?
I remember that before you entered the Jingshan Palace on a certain Sunday, you flatly denied that this matter had anything to do with Lord Little Auspicious Grass King. Could it be that as a mortal, you have gained the ability to predict the future after becoming a great sage, and could foresee in advance that this matter had nothing to do with Lord Little Auspicious Grass King?
Whether you are trying to fool us or putting on a show, only you know it."
Azar raised his voice: "I directed and acted in this drama myself?! Rejecting your unreasonable request is directing and acting in this drama myself? Nafis, don't go too far!"
"I am making a reasonable request! I will not judge you for usurping the right to talk privately with Little Auspicious Grass King.
After the rumor about the appearance of Little Lucky Grass King spread, he denied the truth of the rumor without negotiating with Little Lucky Grass King, and manipulated the vote to reject my proposals again and again.
Azar, do you take our other sages seriously? Do you take our gods seriously? ! "Nafis asked harshly.
Hearing the two people excitedly calling each other's names, Setale silently put down her hand that was about to knock on the door.
"Of course, I respect her very much. It was her suggestion that helped me learn the truth, and it was her will that helped me stop the rumors from spreading.
You know I have discussed this matter with the gods, but you are still yelling at me. Which of us doesn't take the gods seriously?!"
Azar first sneered and then scolded him harshly. Setare, who knew part of the truth, found it humorous.
He was clearly doing things that were detrimental to the gods but lied that he had received guidance from the gods. It turned out that he knew that his influence was far less than that of the real gods.
But she soon felt scared again. No one else in the House of the Order knew the two faces of the Great Sage. Even if the five of them knew it, they would be isolated and helpless in the House of the Order.
But if we hadn't accidentally obtained some information from the files left by the doctor, how long would we all have been kept in the dark? Would it take until the death of the gods for someone to notice this?
