Chapter 546: Hidden Killing Intent (5)_1
Ever since turning completely black, the Black Lingzhi’s size hadn’t changed, but its color seemed to have deepened a notch, glossy and shiny as if it would start oozing oil at any moment.
By comparison, the changes in the two Ginsengs were significant. Although the roots beneath the soil weren’t visible, judging by their much larger and lustrous green leaves, they seemed to be growing quite well.
After watering them with Spirit Spring Water and pulling out the herbs that had grown too close to them, Mo Yan looked around the space filled with a sea of gold and the greenery spreading to the edges, and she couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.
In the past, she used to worry about chickens overpopulating the space, and now that those chickens had been moved to the orchard, most of the land within the space was "occupied" by various herbs.
