Chapter 110: Flower and Grass Transmigration Technique

  Qin Lang subconsciously looked towards Ma Youwei, but didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. This person was clearly just an average person and shouldn't have attracted anyone's attention.

  "Could it be this old neighbor of mine?"

  His eyes fell on Old Man Hua, and Qin Lang's heart was filled with doubts.

  At this time, Ma Youwei withdrew his hand and looked at the plants in the courtyard, smiling: "I heard from Little Cai that you are a flower lover, now I see it's true."

  "Ah, it's nothing." Old Master Hua waved his hand repeatedly. "I'm just getting old and finding ways to entertain myself, passing the time. Mr. Ma is an expert in this field, I wonder if I have the honor of asking you to share your insights on flower cultivation with me?"

  "Hey, old man, don't be in a rush." Little Cai hastily stepped forward and said: "You still remember what you told me last time, about that rare orchid of yours that's on the verge of dying? Last time you asked me to find an expert to think of a solution, I've been keeping an eye out for you. Coincidentally, I found out yesterday that Teacher Ma is here on a business trip, so I immediately invited him over."

  Old man Hua was thrilled to hear that, and he grasped Ma Youwei's hand again, shaking it while saying: "Ah, I see! So Teacher Ma has come for my precious orchid! Forgive this old man for being blind, I didn't realize it until now. Please sit down, please have a seat, let me brew you a cup of tea."

  "Sir, you don't have to be so polite." Ma Youwei was being polite for a moment.

  "No, that's what should be done. As long as Mr. Ma can save my precious orchid, it doesn't matter if he brews tea or anything else." Old Man Hua said hastily and quickly prepared the tea set.

  Ma Youwei sat down on the chair, while Little Cai did not sit and stood aside, his eyes rolling around.

  "Hey, you've just finished eating?" Ma Youwei said with a familiar smile to Qin Lang who was sitting in the same chair.

  "Oh, yes." Qin Lang nodded.

  "Huh, are you Old Master's grandson? I haven't seen you before!" Xiaocai also shifted her gaze to Qin Lang, curiously sizing him up.

  Qin Lang shook his head, "I am Grandpa Hua's neighbor."

  "Oh, it's just the neighbor." Xiaocai lost interest immediately and turned his eyes around again, ignoring Qin Lang.

  And that horse also had a similar temperament, after hearing that Qin Lang was just the neighbor of Old Man Hua, it stopped talking and closed its eyes to cultivate.

  "Wow, this is good wine."

  Suddenly, Little Cai seemed to have discovered a new continent and flipped out the empty wine bottles from under the table.

  It was the same bottle of Moutai white wine with a somewhat strange packaging that Qin Lang had drunk with Old Man Hua before.

  Ma Youwei also opened his eyes, saw Xiao Cai enthusiastically examining the wine bottle in his hand, and nodded: "Indeed it's good wine, and not the kind of good stuff that can be bought on the market."

  "Right," said Little Cai, nodding. "This is a special supply of Maotai, it's not easy to get." He said, looking at the swaying wine bottle: "You brought this?"

  Qin Lang shook his head, "It was taken by Old Man Hua."

  "Wow." Little Cai exclaimed in surprise: "I didn't expect this old man to be so stingy with his words, but behind our backs, he's actually a big spender!"

  He was used to seeing the old man's plain and simple appearance, which was clearly that of an ordinary retired elderly person living alone, so he only dared to think of the old man as being wealthy, but did not dare to think of him as having power.

  Xiao Cai put down the wine bottle and quietly gave Ma Youwei a signal with his eyes. The two of them seemed to understand each other's minds, as if they both had some secret joy.

  Before long, Old Man Hua brought the tea set over. However, the table was a mess and there was no way to lay out the tea, so Qin Lang quickly gathered up those dishes and bid farewell to Old Man Hua.

  But Old Man Hua suddenly pulled him back, saying: "What's the hurry to leave? Little Qin, aren't you also familiar with the art of flower cultivation? It just so happens that Teacher Ma is an expert in this field. Why don't you stay and keep me company while we learn together?"

  Qin Lang nodded after a moment of contemplation: "Alright then."

  Xiao Cai and Ma Youwei didn't take Qin Lang seriously. The two of them drank a mouthful of tea, said "good tea", and then let Old Man Hua bring them to see that sick orchid.

  "That orchid is placed alone in the backyard, I'll take you there." Old Man Hua's mind was not on tasting tea either, and he led the three of them towards the backyard.

  The backyard is slightly smaller than the front yard.

  The same is true here, where there are also many flower pots and separate flower beds. However, compared to the flowers in the front yard, the flowers and grasses in this backyard are obviously much higher in grade.

  "It's this orchid."

  Old Master Hua stopped in front of a flower pot in the backyard with three people.

  "Mr. Ma, please take a look quickly. Alas, for this orchid, I've thought of all sorts of methods, but no matter what, it just won't recover. At this rate, it'll probably die in two or three days." Old Man Hua said with a sigh.

  "Old master, don't worry, I won't guarantee anything else, but when it comes to orchids, no problem is too difficult for me. As long as it's still alive, I'll definitely be able to restore its health." Ma Youwei guaranteed, comforting the old flower master, while squatting down to carefully examine the sick orchid.

  Hua Lao Yezi's face, filled with worry and sorrow, suddenly lightened up a lot as he stared intently at Ma Youwei, as if grasping a lifeline.

  Xiao Cai chimed in, "Don't worry, old master. Ma Laoshi is the best in this field. As long as he's on it, you can rest assured. Just wait for this orchid to recover and everything will be fine."

  "Alright, alright, then I'll have to trouble Mr. Ma with it. If he can save this sick orchid of mine, I will be eternally grateful to Mr. Ma." Old Man Hua seemed to feel much more at ease now.

  Xiao Cai heard the four words "thank you again and again", a sly glint flashed in his eyes, and he stopped talking.

  The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and Old Man Hua didn't even dare to breathe heavily, as if he was afraid of disturbing Ma Youwei.

  At this time, only Qin Lang's gaze was completely absent from Ma Youwei's body, but instead swept back and forth in the backyard.

  Just as he walked through the front yard and came to the back yard, Qin Lang felt that the locked-in feeling from before seemed to have disappeared, as if it had been isolated.

  But after coming to this backyard, soon, that locked feeling appeared again.

  But this time the locked-in feeling was a bit different, as if it were another person. Because Qin Lang could clearly feel that this lock-in was slightly more immature.

  "It seems that at least two people have set their sights on Mr. Hua's mansion." Qin Lang silently calculated in his mind, and before he could determine the origins of these stalkers, Qin Lang had no intention of making any rash moves.

  The appearance of these stalkers was too suspicious, and the inexplicable lock on the house where only an old man lived alone seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.

  If the appearance of these stalkers is not related to Ma You or Xiao Cai, then it can only be because of Hua Lao Yezi himself. Qin Lang couldn't help but think of some mysterious aspects that Hua Lao Yezi had shown before, and he became suspicious that these stalkers might have a direct relationship with Hua Lao Yezi.

  "When these two people leave, if that locked-in feeling hasn't disappeared yet, I'll tell Grandpa Hua about it. If he's not clear about this matter, then these followers must think of a way to get rid of them. If Old Man Hua knows about this, then I won't need to intervene."

  Qin Lang had made up his mind and now had the leisure to glance at the sick orchid, as well as Ma Youwei who was pacing back and forth in front of it.

  "This is terrible, this is terrible."

  It took Ma Youwei a good half day's effort to finally get up, shaking his head and clicking his tongue, looking very terrible.

  Mr. Hua suddenly became nervous and hastily said: "Mr. Ma, what's wrong? Is it that this orchid of mine can't be cured?"

  Ma You sighed and said, "Old sir, I won't hide it from you. Your orchid is almost dead, only a thread of life remains. It's thanks to your meticulous care that it still has this last bit of vitality. But for humans, having only a thread of life left means there might still be a chance to save them. For plants, however, this thread of life is almost equivalent to death. Alas, I've come too late. If I had arrived a few days earlier, saving it wouldn't have been difficult."

  Old man Hua suddenly became disheartened, shaking his head with a bitter smile: "I knew it was hopeless. Alas, perhaps this is the fate of this orchid. I'm truly sorry to have troubled Mr. Ma to come all the way here for this matter. Why don't you stay overnight instead? I'll invite you to a simple home-cooked meal?"

  "No, no, no." Ma waved his hand and said, "Old sir, don't be impatient, I haven't finished speaking yet. Previously, I made a bet with you that I could save this orchid, now if we were to give up at this point, wouldn't it be equivalent to slapping myself in the face? Actually, although your orchid is already close to death, the last thread of life can still be used to revive it with a special technique."

  "What magic?" Old Man Hua's eyebrows furrowed. "What kind of magic? Mr. Ma, do you mean that this orchid of mine still has a chance to be saved?"

  "Not bad, there's indeed a chance to save him." Ma Youwei nodded and continued: "This strange technique is called Flower Grass Transference of Life, an extremely rare technique that few people have heard of."

  Old Man Hua furrowed his brow, suspiciously saying: "Is there really such a mysterious skill? But I've lived for so long and have never heard of it before. Moreover, in this circle, no one has ever mentioned it either."

  Ma Youwei smiled and said, "It's normal that the old man hasn't heard of it. In this world, there are absolutely no more than three people who can master this strange technique, and I just happen to be one of them. The Flower Transplantation Technique sounds mysterious, but in fact, it's just stealing from heaven, arranging a healthy flower and a sick flower to exchange their vital energy. However, the condition is that the sick flower must have at least a thread of life left, otherwise, this technique cannot be used. And the old man's sick orchid happens to meet this minimum condition."
