Chapter 575 Progress of Island Development

The proctors had nothing to say about Ye Lingchen handing in his papers ahead of time.

His entire paper was answered perfectly, leaving them with nothing to pick. Even the way they looked at Ye Lingchen had changed. Although a celebrity was not of much importance, a curve breaker was always welcomed by the teachers.

Ye Lingchen dusted his sleeves, keeping a low profile.

The following days, he would cultivate whenever he was free and went back to school for exams. Regardless of the subject, they were all handled easily. That baffled all the students and resulted in them asking for his assistance.

Finally, the finals were over and Winter break began. With that, it was a full month of holidays!

Of course, holiday or not, it was the same for Ye Lingchen.

He did not have much to do during this period as he only needed to help Chen Xiaoyan compose a song. The rest of his free time was spent outlining Qin Baichuan’s military-themed TV series. All that was left was him staying at Miracle Island, watching over it being built slowly.

Moreover, he would spend his days going around the island, planting trees and flowers at suitable locations. The trees he planted were no ordinary fruit trees, but instead rosewood and amboyna wood trees that were rare and treasured. Some trees carried a natural fragrance with them. If they were made into furniture, it would cost at least several hundred thousand each set. Of course, the flowers he planted were not regular flowers as well.

These trees were not matured, but instead saplings that Ye Lingchen purchased. Under normal circumstances, it would take these precious trees a long time to grow. However, it was not an issue for Ye Lingchen.

His Wood Spirit Constitution had reached the intermediate level, allowing him to use spiritual energy to stimulate the growth of plants. Moreover, it would ensure the plants grow in their optimal condition and more spiritually dense.

The planting locations were not chosen randomly. If one looked at it from a distance, they would realize that the locations Ye Lingchen chose would converge in the shape of the eight trigrams formation. Moreover, the reason he chose those special plants was to act as the foundation for this island, suppressing the dragon vein on site. He was using a type of natural formation to ensure the richness of spiritual energy on the island.

Following that, he had also set up a protective formation around the herb field to prevent destruction from humans and beasts. After all, the medicinal herbs growing there were relatively more precious, especially those with greater maturity.

When the construction of the pharmaceutical factory was completed, the medicinal herbs there would be equivalent to 30 years or older, and fully viable to be used as raw materials. Moreover, the effects would be excellent!

Ye Lingchen smiled, then checked the area around him.

In the vicinity, Ye Lingchen had allotted a field, orchard, and a wide scenic zone. There was a river running through it that branched into several streams.

With one glance, flowers bloomed in a sea of grass. Flowers and trees were dancing along with the cool breeze.

These flowers were not planted randomly either. Orchids and white lotuses could protect the skin around the eyes; white lilies and strawberry saxifrage could help lighten blemishes and whiten the skin…

These flowers were not just beautiful, they could also be used as raw materials for skin care products.

“Director Ye, did you learn the art of gardening? How are you so good at this?” Dong Miaomiao looked at the medicinal herbs in amazement.

She had been staying on the island all the while, protecting the herb field. To her, the importance of these herbs was incomparable.

Moreover, she was born in a pharmaceutical family. She naturally knew about the herbs, from their care to usage. Although she did not know everything, she knew enough.

However, ever since she followed Ye Lingchen she realized that there were too many things she wanted to learn. Among them was Ye Lingchen’s ability to understand the relationship between medicinal herbs. For example, which two herbs were not suitable to be planted too close to each other, which were suitable to be planted together.

After Ye Lingchen planted the herbs, their growth amazed her every day. It was just like a dream. If not for her witnessing it with her own eyes, she would never believe such a thing.

“I just know a little bit.” Ye Lingchen laughed. “It has to do with the environment of this island. It’s very suitable for their growth.”

“Cut the crap. You claim to know a little of everything, but you’re better than everyone else.” Hao Yun rolled her eyes at him as she retorted. “You seem to be a professional even in farming.”

Hao Yun stayed on the island along with Grandmaster Hao. After realizing that the island was a paradise, she never wanted to leave.

She also loved to stay at the herb field, but not for its herbs. It was for the environment, and fruit trees.

“When will these fruits mature? They look so delicious,” Hao Yun asked after swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

“These are just saplings. What are you hoping to eat?” Ye Lingchen sighed helplessly. “The island has some wild fruits. You can try to eat those. However, don’t venture too deeply on your own.”

“This island is really a paradise. Even the wild fruits are delicious. No wonder you bought it. If I knew earlier, I would’ve asked my grandfather to buy this place.” Hao Yun huffed adorably, then rolled her eyes. “Based on the fact that I’ve granted you the island, you should leave a place for me to stay here.”

“Mm, sure.” Ye Lingchen nodded urgently, then smiled, “Even if I don’t agree, you’ll have your grandfather build one specifically for you, right?”

“Hehe, I’ll be coming here for holiday very often in the future,” Hao Yun stated with a grin that turned her eyes into the shape of a new moon.

“Awooooo~”

Right then, a long howling of the wolf came from deep within the island, scaring a flock of birds into the air.

However, Dong Miaomiao and Hao Yun’s expression remained unchanged, apparently used to it.

“It would seem that Little Green and Little Grey caught something again.” Hao Yun looked at the source of the sound enthusiastically. “Our lunch is settled.”

“Pheasants, bamboo rats, ducks, and geese. We’ve been eating wild game all these while. How luxurious.” Although Dong Miaomiao was trying her best to suppress her urge, she still silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Ye Lingchen had merely developed a portion of the island. The deeper region was another forest that formed a complete ecosystem. There were plenty of wild animal species.

Not only was Ye Lingchen planning to keep the forest untouched, but he also wanted to improve on it by turning into a pristine natural habitat by introducing additional animals.

Using the pristine natural habitat as his zoo, that would definitely be a very interesting attraction.

Just some time ago, Little Green and Little Grey met with a pack of 12 wolves. The alpha wolf had initially thought of recruiting Little Green and Little Grey, but it was then shown its place by a slap from Little Green. With that, it naturally became an underling to Little Green and Little Grey.

Following that, under Little Green and Little Grey’s training, this pack of wolves would deliver some wild game to them…
