Chapter 921 Extra Story - One Year Later
Since discovering that the spiritual veins in the Spirit Tree could connect to any place in the universe, every member of the Ashford family actively watered the Spirit Tree seedlings.
Maria was fond of rice water. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, dinner, or supper, whenever she saw the servants washing rice, she would immediately collect the water and eagerly water the Spirit Tree seedlings.
Bluey was enthusiastic about nutrient solution. Every day, he would visit the flower market and buy up all the nutrient solutions available, regardless of which store they were from, and then come back to water the Spirit Tree seedlings.
Alexander was always worried that Maria and Bluey would use rice water and nutrient solution that was too concentrated. Whenever they finished watering, Alexander would supplement it with a large bucket of plain water.
Ruby liked flower nectar and dew, believing that this water contained the essence of all plants. By watering the Spirit Tree with it, the seedlings would become more spiritual and grow faster.
Calliope and Lyra were both enthusiastic about homemade flower fertilizer.
Sometimes, they would use rotten vegetable leaves, rinds of fruits, and sand to make flower fertilizer, which they would then seal and ferment for a week before watering the Spirit Tree seedlings.
Other times, they would clean and dry eggshells, crush them, mix them with some soil, and make nutrient-rich organic phosphate fertilizer.
Sometimes, they would cook and soften moldy soybeans, peanuts, and powdered milk together, seal them in a small jar, and let them ferment and mature.
They believed that watering the Spirit Tree seedlings with such fertilizers would accelerate their growth.
Richard and Annabel practiced martial arts in front of the Spirit Tree every day, believing that this would cultivate the spiritual temperament of the tree and make it more spiritual.
Beckett and Samantha had their own unique methods.
Every evening, Beckett would sit under the Spirit Tree and read a book of prose poems, believing that this would help the Spirit Tree seedlings awaken earlier.
Samantha fenced off the area around the Spirit Tree and raised a group of chickens, ducks, geese, and even a pig. She believed that the manure produced by these animals was natural organic fertilizer and would be more beneficial to the healthy growth of the Spirit Tree.
Ivy would get up in the middle of the night every day to take out the countless Magic Pearls from the treasure chest and transfer the constantly flowing energy of the Magic Pearls to the Spirit Tree seedlings, catalyzing their growth.
This Spirit Tree seedling was quite magical. It seemed to have an insatiable appetite, accepting whatever was poured on it.
Every time it drank water, it would grow taller, and every time fertilizer was applied, it would grow stronger.
Every time Ivy catalyzed it with a Magic Pearl, the Spirit Tree would grow twice as thick.
One year later.
The Spirit Tree seedlings, which were originally as thin as a finger, had grown to be as thick as a water bucket and nearly ten meters tall.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone was extremely excited and immediately invited Satan over, asking him how to use the spiritual veins to reach their children.
Satan said, "This Spirit Tree is still too small. It has not yet grown the Heart of Spirit, and only when it has the Heart of Spirit can the spiritual veins appear."
"So when will it grow the Heart of Spirit?" Ivy asked.
Satan replied, "As long as the Spirit Tree blooms and bears fruit, and its fruit contains the power of spirit, it will naturally grow the Heart of Spirit."
"So, when will it blossom and bear fruit?" everyone asked eagerly.
Satan calmly replied, "The Spirit Tree will bloom when it reaches a hundred years old and bear fruit at two hundred years, after which the Spirit Heart will appear. Once the Spirit Heart appears, the Spirit Veins will also manifest. As the Spirit Heart grows, more and more Spirit Veins will appear."
"Ah..." Everyone was instantly disappointed.
Ivy was also greatly disappointed. It turned out that she had been using the Magic Pearl to catalyze the Spirit Tree every day for the past year, but it was all in vain.
Satan quickly comforted everyone, "Don't lose heart, it will only take one or two hundred years!"
Maria burst into tears, "By then, my 28 children will have grown up..."
Satan waved his hand repeatedly, "No, no. A day in heaven is a year on earth. A hundred years on earth is nothing but a hundred days in the heavenly realm. Two hundred years on earth is still less than a year in the heavenly realm."
"Right!" Maria immediately stopped crying and rushed to the kitchen. "Where's the rice water? Is there any rice water? Quickly, let's water the Spirit Tree!"
Calliope and Lyra immediately fetched their homemade flower fertilizer.
Bluey went to get nutrient solution, and Ruby brought the dew she collected.
Everyone else also busied themselves, wishing to water the Spirit Tree so it could bloom and bear fruit in an instant.
While everyone was busy, Ivy remained calm, seemingly thinking about something important.
"What are you thinking, Ivy?" Alexander asked softly.
Ivy replied, "I'm thinking, should we... give names to the 36 children of the quadruplets first? So that when we meet them, we'll know how to address them."
"Right! Names! Let's give them names now!"
