The group settled into the gazebo, placing the box at the center. Inside, the Florivive seed’s outer shell was

wrinkled.

Jackson squeezed the seed with his fingers. It was solid inside. He frowned and grumbled, “This damn thing hasn’t sprouted after all these years. Maybe it just can’t grow at all.”

Nathan shook his head. “No, the formula says it will sprout.”

Jackson furrowed his brows. “This seed’s been kept for so many years. Can it really still be viable?”

It was not that he didn’t want the seed to sprout. But after all these years and countless attempts, nothing had ever made it sprout. The seed showed no sign of change. There was even no rotting and no hollowing out.

It was completely intact, like a counterfeit. Only something fake could stay unchanged for decades.

Yannis explained, “The uniqueness of Florivive lies in its seeds. They never rot or decay. As long as they haven’t sprouted, they remain unchanged for decades. As for how long they can last at most, no one knows for

sure.”

He added, “It’s been sixty years since the Yarbrough family got it. Devin has already verified it. It’s genuine.”

Jackson let out a weary sigh. “This seed is really a tough one to crack.”

It was easy to get the seed, but getting it to sprout was the real challenge.

“The Yarbrough family has tried every trick in the book. Ordinary methods just won’t cut it,” Zinnia said.

She took out another notebook documenting every method the Yarbrough family had tried over the decades, from the most ordinary to the most unusual. Yet the seed remained as stubborn as ever, showing not the slightest change.

Nathan took the notebook and skimmed the records. Every method was there, including dates, procedures and temperature conditions, all meticulously documented. They’d tried nearly every known technique to induce the seed’s germination.
