"Just imagine—you've poured your heart into nurturing these spirit plants and herbs for over half a year. They finally mature, and you harvest them excitedly, expecting them to fetch a handsome price.

"But when you get to the market, you find their values have crashed to the prices of cabbages. You can't even recoup your initial investment."

"Who can withstand a blow like that?"

"In such conditions, who'd still want to cultivate their own spirit plants? Might as well just buy them from the market!"
