Chapter 1041 Indeed Wonderful
As soon as they came in, the man immediately stood up from the sofa.
Maybe it was because they didn't know each other, he looked a little shy and embarrassed, but Sierra didn't recognize him. Then, she and Clarissa exchanged a glance at each other and said nothing.
At this time, Robert finally walked into the living room.
"You're back."
As Robert came up to her, she didn't know what he had done just now, for his hands were slightly wet.
At that moment, he was wiping off the water with a towel while introducing the man with a smile. "I told you before that I have a friend who is a top scholar in the field of plants, right? Today, I have invited him over. So let me introduce you. This gentleman here is Clint Vale, a world-renowned plant researcher. Clint, this is my wife, Sierra. They are my wife's daughter and son-in-law, Clarissa and Anderson, and these are their children."
After Robert introduced them one by one, Clint stepped forward and reached out his hand.
"I've long heard of your name, Mr. Jordan. As expected, you are outstanding. It's such a pleasure to see you today."
In response, Anderson also extended his hand and shook hands with him as the corners of his lips curled up.
"Mr. Vale is the master of plants. I've wanted to see you for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you today. I should be the one thanking you."
With a smile, Robert interrupted. "Well, we're all familiar with each other now, so you don't have to stand on ceremony. Please have a seat."
Thus, the group of people sat down on the sofa.
Seeing that, Sierra finally understood what was going on.
Previously, Robert said that he was not good at planting Way Tree and he wanted to ask his good friend Clint to do it.
Judging from what he saw today, he must have invited the other party over.
Since there was a guest at home and as the hostess of the house, Sierra naturally had to treat him well.
Therefore, after everyone sat down, she went to the kitchen and asked the servants to prepare pastries and fruits.
On the other side, in the living room, Robert did not beat around the bush and directly explained his intentions,
"Clint, I've told you the purpose of inviting you here. The Way Tree is related to the life of their friend. So please help me out and study it to see if it is possible for it to reproduce."
Clint nodded.
"I know. Since it's Mr. Jordan's friend, of course, I'll do my best. But, I've only seen the Way Tree in books and information databases before, and I haven't seen it in real life, let alone the experience of reproducing it, so I'm not entirely confident to do so. Why don't you take me to see the Way Tree now? Then, I'll get to know actually what's going on."
Robert nodded.
"Okay, then come with me."
As he spoke, he stood up.
Everybody else also got up.
At this time, the adults had something to talk about, so Clarissa asked the servants to take Anne and Marf to play in the game room.
On their way to the flower room, Robert explained to Clint about the intricacy of the matter.
When he arrived at the flower room, he opened a small door and revealed the Way Tree that was planted in the jade box.
The moment the Way Tree was revealed, Clint's eyes lit up.
Without a word, he quickly walked forward and bent down to look at it carefully.
Meanwhile, Clarissa and Anderson stood aside and did not go up to disturb them.
And Robert stood next to him, staring at him as he observed the Way Tree, then asked, "Clint, this thing is very delicate, and the planting method is something I have never heard of before. Take a look at it, do you have the confidence to reproduce it?"
Suddenly, Clint raised his hand and interrupted him.
He did not say anything, but instead, he took out a magnifying glass from his shirt pocket. Then, he began to examine the tree even more closely.
Everyone looked at him curiously, not knowing what he was going to do.
From the front to the back, he observed the entire Way Tree, and it took him a long time before he slapped his thigh suddenly.
"Incredible! It's truly incredible!"
All of them were confused. They looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
Then, Clint turned around.
At that moment, she could see that there was a faint blush on his face as if he was a little excited.
Pointing at the Way Tree, he asked excitedly, "Do you know how many years it has gone extinct? It's been extinct for more than 200 years. I've read about it in books that due to its ability to produce gold fruits, at the time, it resembled the copper coin, and on top of that it was gold in color, so that was how the name of the tree was born."
"This object is indeed very delicate. It will wither if one isn't careful. Once it withers, the whole plant is basically useless. However, because of it's warm nature and it relies on water to grow, it has to be raised with a jade container with clean water. You've done the right thing."
When Robert heard his analysis, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.
"So, according to what you said, do you have a way to grow another one using the fruit on it?"
Unexpectedly, Clint frowned as soon as he heard this.
"I've never heard of how to plant this fruit. Moreover, this fruit is extremely precious. If this fruit doesn't succeed, it'll be destroyed. Are you willing to sacrifice it?"
"It's a matter of life and death. Of course, I'm willing to part with it."
Upon receiving the answer, Clint immediately smiled.
"In that case, as long as you are fine with it, I'll stay here for a while and study how to plant it. I'll tell you after I figure it out."
He was very unceremonious. When Robert saw him like that, it was clear that he already had some confidence in himself, even if he didn't say it.
After all, they were friends who had known each other for many years. Therefore, they were very familiar with each other's characters.
So he immediately replied, "No problem, as long as you help me to settle this matter, I will owe you a big favor. If there is anything you need in the future, just tell me."
Anderson and Clarissa also added. "So do we."
With a smile, Clint waved his hand. "You don't have to do that. I can study it for you, but when it's done, you have to promise me one thing."
Clarissa asked, "What is it? Please tell me."
"After it's done, you have to allow me to take one of them away as my research sample."
Hearing that, Clarissa was stunned.
Then, she turned to look at Anderson. In response, Anderson nodded his head without a change in expression.
Only then did she responded with a smile, "Sure."
It was only then that Clint was truly delighted.
"Okay, then it's settled. Robert, find me a similar jade box immediately. And this place is not very suitable. It has to be grown in an extremely cold place. The lighting here is too strong and the temperature is not suitable. Is there any place similar to an ice cellar here?"
Hearing that, Robert paused for a moment and asked, "Ice cellar?"
