「Inside Medicine King Valley.」
As the herb farmers worked, the successfully pollinated flowers began to change.
The color of the petals faded from a delicate pale yellow to white.
"So if it turns white, it was successful?"
Li Xu asked.
Shao Shicheng shook his head and pointed to a stalk that had already turned white. "No, when the stalk turns white, it means pollination failed and the flower has withered. A successful flower will slowly contract and develop a seed pod."
"The seed pod will only mature after five months. During this time, they have to face the wind, rain, and being eaten by animals. Only the ones that survive will leave behind seeds."
"Furthermore, the Huoshan Mi Hu usually doesn't flower until its third year. But at that point, the Dendrobium is still just a 'plant,' not a 'medicine.' For medicinal use, Dendrobium must grow for at least five to six years to accumulate enough active ingredients and develop its medicinal properties."
