Strictly enforcing the principle of "money in one hand, goods in the other," Luo Qian paid the balance for the first Stone Tablet, then left the Netherworld with the souls of three master garden designers. Though he had found the experts he needed, he was in no hurry to return to the Saint Realm. He took the three of them through the Divine Realm and Demon Realm to look around. They could not go to the Immortal Realm, where they would be spotted too easily. As for the Buddha Realm... Even if that desolate place had once had vegetation, its fanatical monks would long since have cut it down to carve Buddhist scriptures.
At the three designers' request, they collected countless kinds of seeds along the way. Luo Qian handled the gathering; the three sorted the seeds by category and preserved each kind. Luo Qian knew nothing about the subject and never interfered.
The detour took another dozen days or so. While the three sorted seeds, Luo Qian kept busy. Plants were hardly the only thing the Saint Realm lacked. Those barren planets had no vegetation, let alone animals. Whenever he had time, Luo Qian climbed mountains to catch tigers and plunged into the sea to net fish. He also collected quite a few eggs from all manner of Magic Beasts. The planets they greened would need animals to bring them to life.
Luo Qian still felt it was not enough, so he prepared some rocks and lake water as well and brought everything to the Saint Realm. Unlike things from the Immortal Realm, those from the Demon Realm and Divine Realm contained no Immortal Aura that would make them easy to detect. As long as they were not energy crystals, there would be no problem.
