In Flower Valley, clusters of rice stalks are reaching maturity, with a fragrance of rice permeating the air.
Sun Wukong glanced at the rice and knew in his heart that this batch had a higher yield than the others, making it a finished product.
Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad carefully observed the long and slender rice and, after a long observation, still had no clue.
"This is the rice from the Mortal World, very ordinary."
Lord Lao Zi, making sure he didn't miss anything, asked, "What is so special about it that it can create such merit?"
Sun Wukong replied, "It has a higher yield than regular rice."
Lord Lao Zi was startled; he had no idea what the regular yield of rice was.
"How much higher?"
He asked again.
Sun Wukong estimated, "About 20%."
He didn't know the exact figures, but having some understanding of rice, and after accounting for the removal of the spiritual energy of Huaguo Mountain, the yield had increased by about 20% or so.
"There's a 20% increase!?"
