This is also why Chen Xi agreed to let Qu Qi step forward. Finding the advantageous attributes of the wild variants of the same plant species and merging them into the genetic material of good varieties truly requires time to discover. The problem is, up until now, there is no second person capable of discerning these advantageous attributes with the naked eye.
Or rather, finding the wild variants of the same species itself requires someone of great skill, at the very least someone like Zao Zhi. As for others, they'd absolutely just accidentally uproot them easily...
Zao Zhi listened with a bewildered expression on his face, but for some reason, he felt that Qu Qi's theories were incredibly worth admiring, even though he couldn't understand them at all.
