Qingfeng would not go against Bai Wutong's words. She carefully put away the pearl. "Thank you for the gift, Great Empress."
Bai Wutong smiled and picked up the pearl to look at it under the sunlight.
The pearls reflected a colorful luster in the bright sunlight. They were exquisite and smooth without any impurities.
This meant that the seawater and light here were very suitable for cultivating pearls.
It would take years to nurture a beautiful big pearl.
First, they had to choose an adult clam of one to one year old and use minimally invasive surgery to transplant the thin cell slices or pearl cores into the clam. Then, they had to place the clam that cultivated pearls into a net cage and hang it in the water to raise it. Two years later, they could open the clam and retrieve the pearls.
This cultivation method could form a sustainable supply of pearls.
