As Er Sidong stomped downstairs, Qin Lina suddenly stood up and asked, "What time is it?" Zhang Guodong thought that the other party was alone, so he simply said, "You stay here. We'll all eat together later, it'll be more lively. It's too much trouble for one person to go back and cook."
Qin Lina hesitated for a moment, but with the enthusiastic persuasion of Li Yun and Qingzhu, she happily stayed to add another set of chopsticks and a bowl.
The three women finished a pound of fruit wine, and their faces were flushed. Zhang Guodong let them run wild.
Upon entering Xuan Qingji's room, the woman was sitting cross-legged, but her alertness was extremely high. Zhang Guodong was immediately stared at by her. The bucket containing the spiritual water was sealed shut. It seemed that five seeds of Jade Spring Vine had already been placed inside.
Zhang Guodong glanced at it and said to Xuan Qing, "Senior Sister, I have something to tell you."
"What's up?.
"Have you heard of Xingmu Laoguai and Lei Xuan?" Zhang Guodong asked.
Xuan Qingban's sharp gaze immediately turned to confusion. She looked at Zhang Guodong, her brows furrowing slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Guodong chuckled and recounted his encounter with the two men, causing Xuan Qingban's expression to change drastically. She tried to discern the accuracy of his account from Zhang Guodong's face, but unfortunately, she had witnessed it herself. Besides, how could Zhang Guodong possibly know these two people? His description was identical to theirs, so it couldn't be wrong.
A cultivator at level sixty-something is simply beyond Xuan Qing'ao's ability to contend with.
Zhang Guodong said, "If we could invite a few of the elders out, Xuan Qingban immediately stood up, his expression serious. He shook his head slightly and said, "Impossible. There are only eight of us here. If the situation is true, we must inform the other junior brothers and sisters. Since we are new to the outside world, everyone must be careful."
"Senior Sister, if you really want to contact her, just say it was you who discovered it, okay?" Zhang Guodong nodded indifferently, only making a small request. Anyway, he had already told you about this matter, and how to contact her was not his concern.
Seeing that Xuan Qingban agreed after a moment's hesitation, he immediately took his leave.
Xuan Qingban learned to communicate by phone, and Zhang Guodong also got them SIM cards. For Zhang Guodong, that was the end of it. He was only a first-level plant cultivator; if he participated in an adult's fight, he wouldn't even know how he died.
After lunch, everyone sorted the seeds, and Zhang Guodong took his share of seeds and saplings and went upstairs.
Back in Taoyuan, Zhang Guodong looked at the 90% empty land and felt somewhat depressed. He had to do it all by himself. Planting all these seeds was truly a huge challenge, and tedious indeed.
"Take it slow, start sowing the seeds." Zhang Guodong encouraged himself and, according to the initial plan, piled up the field ridges with hoes, forming small square plots of land to separate the different vegetables.
As the saying goes, diligent people have their own methods, which are well-organized and efficient, but lazy people also have their own ways. Zhang Guodong simply sowed seeds directly in the small plot of land he had fenced off, without even turning the soil over. Once he finished sowing the seeds in this plot, he was done.
Although this method wastes more seeds, it saves time. The seeds in these fields have generally sprouted and are thriving.
He cleared fifteen acres of land in one go and sowed the seeds over such a large area. It took him two hours, and he still had half of the vegetable seeds left to sow.
"Let's keep going tomorrow." Zhang Guodong tidied up the seeds and left Taoyuan. His hands and feet were covered in purple mud, so he went straight to the bathroom and washed up quickly.
As luck would have it, Li Yun arrived just as I came out of the restroom, looking quite anxious.
Before she went upstairs, Qingzhu teased her for a while, but neither Qingzhu nor Xuan Qingban had experience with matters between men and women, which only made Li Yun run upstairs in embarrassment. Qingzhu herself also blushed deeply.
When Li Yun entered the room and saw Zhang Guodong wrapped in a bath towel, she became even more nervous.
"Look how scared you are. Come on, I'll take you somewhere." Zhang Guodong smiled slightly and took Li Yun's hand.
"Ah, no, not that?" Li Yun asked in surprise. "Where to?"
After saying this, his face turned even redder; he had actually thought of helping her. Li Yun, you're such a lecherous woman, humph!
Zhang Guodong didn't answer. With a thought, the two disappeared from the living room, and in a flash, they were in Peach Blossom Spring. Li Yun felt a blur before her eyes, and suddenly she was in a different place.
The sun was shining overhead; it was clearly daytime here. But wasn't it already dark? How could there still be sunshine? It must be an illusion! Li Yun couldn't help but pinch Zhang Guodong's arm.
Zhang Guodong had experienced something similar before. He laughed and immediately leaned over to kiss Li Yun's lips, slowly savoring them. The latter was quite surprised, but quickly lost herself in the experience.
The kiss lasted for several minutes, leaving Li Yun almost breathless, her body going limp in Zhang Guodong's arms. Zhang Guodong smiled slightly, and with a swift movement, he carried her to the large bed set up in front of the Mountain and River Peak.
"This is not an illusion. This is a paradise on earth, filled with abundant spiritual energy. Feel it; with the spirit-gathering array, the spiritual energy here is three thousand times that of the outside world! Also, look at those vegetables, medicinal herbs, and fruit trees in the distance. Do you know where the vegetables and aquatic products of Green Treasure Pavilion come from? It's here." Zhang Guodong knew that Li Yun was deeply shocked, so he explained the place in detail.
Li Yun's eyes widened as she looked around, listening intently to Zhang Guodong's explanation. Gradually, her unease subsided, replaced by excitement. "Only if I'm called 'Second Master' can I bring people here to explain; no one else can. In the group's cultivation, the six-to-two cultivation speed can be greatly accelerated. That's why I said you have to go upstairs every night from now on, understand now? You little vixen?" Zhang Guodong embraced her delicate body, gently tapping her nose, and chuckled.
"I don't know where this place is!" Li Yun said shyly. "Then I'll just stay here and cultivate in seclusion, okay?"
"Haha, of course! You can sleep here if you're tired. Look, I even brought a big bed!" Zhang Guodong said. "And look at the sun overhead. It's so warm and inviting, you could practically live here!"
Zhang Guodong led Li Yun to inspect every part of the first level of Peach Blossom Spring: trees, vegetables, medicinal herbs, aquatic products, bees, piles of top-grade jade stones, and the poor little brood. This tender brood had been inside for months and had grown considerably. The wire mesh enclosure was now quite large, and grass seeds had been planted inside. Food was plentiful and of excellent quality; the brood had smooth fur and weighed at least seventy kilograms! It was definitely a giant among broods.
"Come on, little guy, eat some grass!" Li Yun was incredibly excited, and upon seeing the silly little creature, she immediately started teasing it with grass. But the silly little creature just looked at Li Yun curiously, showing no interest in the grass.
"Guodong, let's find another one to carry its chicks and make a pair!" Li Yun said.
"Maybe there'll be a chance, haha. Come on, I'll take you somewhere else to see Big Black and the others!" Zhang Guodong nodded and said.
"Are Dahei and the others here?" Li Yun asked in surprise. She looked around but couldn't find them. She hadn't seen Dahei, Erhei, and Lao Qing for a long time, and she didn't even know that Si Qing was there. Of course, now there were also the two enormous bears, Da Jinjiao and Da Sha.
When the two arrived at the foot of Shanhe Peak, Zhang Guodong pulled her and they crashed headfirst into it, eliciting a gasp from Li Yun. The action was practically the same as crashing into a mountain.
But Shanhe Peak is so special. From the outside, it looks very different and is shrouded in an impenetrable mist. Once you rush in, you are instantly transported to another place.
In the world of mountains and rivers, the two appeared on the steps leading to the sky, overlooking the mountains and rivers.
Li Yun was stunned. This world seemed so much larger than the paradise she had just been in. What was this place?
"Big Black and the others are by the river, let's go!" Zhang Guodong immediately found Big Black and the others, some black and gold specks hunting by the river.
"It's so high up here, how are we going to get over?" Li Yun felt a little scared when she saw how high it was all around. Should she go down?
Zhang Guodong chuckled. Li Yun felt a sudden lightness in her body and was so frightened that she burrowed into Zhang Guodong's arms. In that instant, the roar of a wild beast pierced her ears.
"Alright, we're here. Look, Big Black and the others are coming!" Zhang Guodong patted her on the back and laughed. The girl, startled like a pigeon, cautiously peeked out.
He was stunned and terrified, stammering, "This, this is Big Black? So big? And a big bear too, run!"
Big Black and the others came charging over like lightning, but Li Yun was startled by their heads and didn't recognize them at first. Especially since the silly couple behind them weren't going to fall behind, they also started running, howling all the while.
“Don’t worry, let me introduce you. Big Black and Second Black are quite big now, and so is Old Green! Behind them are Big Green, Second Green, Third Green, and Fourth Green. They are Old Green’s children, all blue wolves, but they’ve grown so big now, much bigger than lions. Then those two idiots are Big Fool and his wife. And that arrogant golden guy in the distance is called Big Golden Horn. I brought him from the Plant Cultivation World. Don’t underestimate him; he’s almost at the level of a level 20 Plant Cultivator now, right?” Zhang Guodong pulled Li Yun along as he introduced them.
As soon as Dahei and the others came over, they started licking Zhang Guodong, and then Li Yun. Their ingratiating behavior quickly put her at ease, and she giggled.
"Come on, let's hop on Big Black's back and go for a ride!" Zhang Guodong scooped up Li Yun and instantly sat comfortably on Big Black's back. Big Black let out a majestic roar and galloped forward.
The weight of two people didn't put much of a burden on it. However, compared to the abilities of Big Golden Horn, Big Black is still far behind. Yes, the ride on Big Black's back was a bit bumpy, but fortunately, Zhang Guodong was holding Li Yun, so the ride was steady.
After running around for a while, Li Yun completely relaxed and became one with the animals. She accepted everything about the place. Time flew by, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye. When it was time to leave, Li Yun was a little reluctant. Zhang Guodong said she could come back to visit anytime, which made her smile through her sadness.
Only Big Golden Horn wasn't as enthusiastic about Zhang Guodong's arrival. Zhang Guodong didn't mind, and as he left, he chuckled and tossed some pills to Big Black and the others, but not Big Golden Horn.
Give this guy a break, or he'll become incredibly arrogant!
Ignoring the pitiful, repentant look on the Great Golden Horn's face, Zhang Guodong instantly left the Mountain and River World. It could be said that within this world, as long as he was present, he could teleport to any location. This was slightly different from the first level of Peach Blossom Spring.
Back in Peach Blossom Spring, it was already late. Zhang Guodong said, "This is our secret. Even Senior Sister and Qingzhu can't know. Now, let's start cultivating and try to reach level ten as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" Li Yun nodded seriously and sat down on the large meditation mat that Zhang Guodong had arranged for her. This was a 3,000-fold increase in speed; it would be a real shame not to take advantage of the time to meditate here.
