Time passed unconsciously, and the weather became increasingly hot, seemingly heralding the arrival of early summer.
Looking far and wide, everything was lush green; even the previously barren valley wasn't as desolate as Wang Wu had imagined, with patches of wild grass emerging here and there.
Of course, this required a closer look; from a distance, it still appeared desolate.
In such circumstances, the ten shrub seedlings and five grafted fruit saplings planted by Wang Wu were genuinely thriving.
The shrubs not only reached a height of over thirty centimeters, but their roots also began to cluster, showing signs of forming a small thicket.
As for the five fruit saplings, they stood gracefully, having occasionally been infused with Spiritual Qi by Wang Wu. They had now grown to a noticeable height of half a meter, clearly distinct from regular shrubs.
