Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 68: Spirit Tree Orchard

Leaving his courtyard once more, Fu Xian didn’t stop to watch his senior sister construct.

Instead, he walked straight down the road, his steps quick.

Some neighbours seemed to want to talk to him, but when they saw him nearly running, they knew it wasn’t a good time and instead nodded as a greeting before letting him leave.

Happy with such a situation, he simply nodded in accordance.

’The atmosphere around the whole neighbourhood is quite good.’ He thought as he passed.

Reaching the end of the road, he chose the Great Market right away.

There was no time to wait!

The moment he entered, a bustling scene appeared in his vision –

Right at the entrance, there were many people walking into the large market.

Left and right were young boys and girls who acted as guides, stepping forward to greet the seniors and lead them into the market.

One of them wanted to walk towards him, but when he saw the hanging badge on Fu Xian’s waist, he stopped himself and bowed, before returning.

The citizen of the city naturally didn’t need a guide...

Fu Xian ignored this and simply walked to the side.

At some point, after crossing an invisible line, there were many vendors left and right selling things.

He didn’t even look over – at such a moment, if he did so, he would instantly attract their attention and make them think he was about to buy something.

’Alas, the market entrance is always so full. If I had a shop, I could instantly teleport to it.’

Such unique features were truly tempting.

Railing his thoughts back, he walked to the east of the market.

The market was split into five regions:

East for all kinds of raw materials. West for refined materials. North for inns and restaurants, South for general affairs stores. Finally, there were auction houses and large commerce alliance branches in the centre.

The market was huge, but fortunately it had an option for quick travel. At each corner, one could whisper the region they wanted to go, and when they left the corner, they would be in that region.

He did exactly that and was teleported to a corner at the centre of the eastern market.

Large shops were all around.

"Let’s just go to the Spirit Tree Orchard. It has the largest number of trees and their prices are reduced at bulk purchases."

He walked up to one of the shops. From the outside, it looked like the entrance into a forest. Trees left and right opening an earthy path...

It was a truly unique sight.

Once inside, he saw a large open space with several receptions.

One of the receptionists left her table and walked to him with a professional smile, bowing in greetings, "Senior, how may I help you today?"

"I need citrus trees. Do you have any?" Fu Xian asked right away.

"Citrus? Of course we do, senior! While others might not have any, we at the Spirit Tree Orchard will have all kinds of trees.

May I ask, senior, which citrus trees do you wish to see?" as the receptionist asked, she already gestured Fu Xian to follow her down the path on the left.

Fu Xian could see a plaque at the top reading ’Fruit Orchards’.

"I need some lemon trees, some lime... can you recommend any edible citrus tree?"

Although he had a general idea of what he wanted, since an expert was here, he might as well ask.

"Lemon and lime fit very well together. The sweet and fresh smell of lemons will lighten up the bitter stronger lime.

Since these are the first, I assume the senior wants two complementary edible ones...

In that case, I recommend any kind of Orange. Besides them, I also recommend the Pomelo.

While the pomelo is a less popular citrus fruit, it is an exquisite sweet taste. Although it has a somewhat bitter smell, the lime would overshadow this smell, while the combination with the lemon would sweeten the smell too."

"A pomelo?" Fu Xian was curious. He of course knew what it was, but it wasn’t in his mind initially.

"Then show me the pomelo first."

The young lady nodded and walked, sometimes changing direction, sometimes going straight.

It seemed the orchard was huge, but somehow he still reached his destination rather quick.

Walked past a vast amount of tall trees, around the corner, he saw a single tree growing well.

It was a rather short tree, maybe around three metres tall, with its branches lower.

Hanging from the tree were large rounded fruits with a certain pear-like body.

"This is our best pomelo variant – Sour Water Rain Spirit Pomelo!

It got its name for its slightly sour taste and its extremely juicy flesh with barely any whites. If you squeeze the pomelo too hard without peeling it, drops of juice will fall from its pores like a sour rain."

Looking at it, Fu Xian instantly developed a certain liking.

It had a unique smell combined of bitter, sour and sweet.

No matter where he put the pomelo in his orchard, it would definitely blend in well while still having a unique smell. Maybe the combination of the other might help this pomelo develop this uniqueness even further!

"What’s the grade of this plant and how many do you have of them? Also, what’s the price?"

"We have this pomelo up to the third stage in our storage. If you wish for a fourth grade one, we might be able to find one.

As for the cost, it’s rather low. As an unpopular plant, we sell it at a fair price.

A third-grade young pomelo only costs 3.000 spirit stones. Sir, just a single pomelo can already be sold for 1.000 spirit stones, this price is extremely cheap!"

When Fu Xian heard this, he agreed.

Naturally what they sold to him wasn’t a fully grown plant, but rather a young plant that has just left the gestation period. It had to be at least from the fruit of a fourth-grade fruit tree to have a guarantee of reaching the third grade.

He thought this price was acceptable. "Write this plant down, let’s first see the other citrus fruits."
