In the Tea Garden, the tea trees were lush with branches and leaves. Despite the falling snow, a few flower buds had quietly emerged.
Fang Qingyuan hadn't known much about tea before. Only after taking over the Qingfeng Tea Garden did he learn that the flowering season for tea trees was, surprisingly, winter.
The buds wouldn't bloom en masse until spring, after the new year. But the tea trees had already begun gathering their strength and producing buds during the winter.
Fang Qingyuan's main purpose for visiting the Qingfeng Tea Garden this time was to confirm something. In the past two years, the tea-farming families had given birth to several more children, and he was here to see if any of these newborns possessed a Spirit Root.
But unfortunately—or perhaps fortunately—none of the recently born children had a Spirit Root.
