After another day, the bowl used for soaking lotus seeds had sprouted lotus leaves and stems about three to four centimeters tall.
Xiao Xian and Zeng Xuerou took different actions again, and the ancient locust trees outside the temple suffered as a result, Xiao Xian pruned away their most lush branches and leaves.
The temple's Monk Tianya switched the Heart Sutra with the Dabizhou, still calm and collected, letting Xiao Xian and Xuerou create chaos outside.
"Eating off others makes one's words soft," Monk Tianya muttered in his mind during lunch after having a meal of stir-fried lotus roots.
Another day passed, and the lotus leaves had already grown six to seven centimeters tall; the bowl could no longer contain the lotus seeds that had sprouted young roots. Xiao Xian saw this and decided it was time to divide and replant the lotus roots back into the pond, thus selecting the tubers to be used for propagation.
