Chapter 61: The Lemon in the Valley (3) Yao Wutian is in the bamboo forest...
Yao Wutian was outside the bamboo forest, looking for something.
Seeing her come out, he paused for a moment and clasped his fists towards her.
Liu Binghai was carrying a large basket of lemons. "You came to see me?"
This sentence of yours has made the relationship more distant.
During the day, Yao Wutian heard that she had rejected the marriage proposal with Fan Huacheng, and thought that she might still be thinking about him.
So he was a little worried. Although she was the daughter of the commander, she was not a very capable person. He had to make it clear to her and tell her to stay in her place and not disturb his cultivation.
But he didn't know how to say it, and besides, he came to ask her about the jade.
He searched all over the mountain but couldn't find any jade of the same quality as hers. So he searched until he found her doorstep and wanted to ask her where she got her jade.
Two questions lingered in my mind, and I didn't know which to answer first. While I was hesitating, I saw her bamboo basket of lemons, which were big and yellow.
"You fruit..." he read.
Liu Binghai replied casually, "I picked it up in the woods and made tea with it."
Yao Wutian was speechless. This woman had the nerve to pick up her own fruit and drink it even though it was so sour.
Liu Binghai picked at the fruit a few times. "Although it's a little bigger, it's better quality and suitable for cultivation."
She wouldn't feel bad about giving him a few, but he was afraid he wouldn't want them.
"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Liu Binghai asked again.
Yao Wutian thought for a moment and realized that mining for jade was more important, so he said, "I've searched all over the mountain, but haven't seen any jade like yours. Which tribe member gave it to you? Can you tell me?"
So that's what it was.
He is truly a person who is devoted to hard practice.
Liu Binghai thought for a moment and said, "A little boy about 13 years old, with big round eyes, wearing a blue robe, bald head, like a little monk."
Yao Wutian thought about it and roughly figured out which tribe they were from, and he had an idea in his mind.
But seeing that she actually started practicing, he was still a little confused, "Are you going to start practicing?"
Liu Binghai hummed, "I'm old now, and I don't want to mess around anymore. I've offended you a lot in the past, but I hope we can live in peace from now on."
Before he could even open his mouth, she agreed.
"Do you need any fruit?" Liu Binghai asked him again.
He was stunned for a moment, looked at the large and firm lemon fruits, and shook his head. "You... keep them for yourself. Just practice well. If you have any questions about your practice in the future, you can ask me."
Haha, ask him?
Waiting for him to discover her flaw and hit her when the Red Son attacks.
"Okay." Liu Binghai agreed and thought to himself, I won't ask you.
He turned around and returned to the training forest.
This forest is extremely beautiful, it is truly a treasure.
She brewed a pot of lemon tea and placed it at her feet, surrounded by jade stones. She planned to practice here for two stages this time, striving to improve her skills as soon as possible. With such a rare place for cultivation, even if it was not for her tribe, she would stay here well for herself.
Retreat and take a rest.
She began to practice in the woods.
The jade gave her spiritual power, and the stone surface gradually lost some of its luster. After practicing, it needed to go out into the sunlight to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth again in order to recover.
The tea was consumed less and less day by day, the jade became duller and duller, and the vital signs around him disappeared, but Liu Binghai's cheeks gradually became lustrous. Spiritual energy was injected into his body, emitting power, and his appearance and physique became better.
One stage is 21 days, but practicing two stages at the same time takes 49 days.
On the 28th day of her practice, her hair was much shinier than before. Whenever she felt tired, she would pick a large lemon and put it in front of her nose to smell it. It was sour and fragrant, and it could replenish some of her strength.
By the 31st day, Liu Binghai was getting better and better. The fruits on the lemon tree moved, and suddenly, the ground near where she was meditating began to shake violently. As it shook, a plant suddenly emerged from the ground. It looked like a big mushroom, as big as Liu Binghai's head. She was in the middle of her practice, and she was shocked. How could a mushroom grow while practicing?
That mushroom seemed to be able to speak, and its huge mushroom head swayed from side to side for a long time.
Liu Binghai stared at it blankly for a while, and saw that it had grown firm. He smelled it and found that it was ripe.
He picked it off and put it aside, and when he came out of retreat, he took it out of the training forest.
She showed the mushrooms to her mother, who was very surprised. She had been practicing in this valley for a long time, but had never seen mushrooms suddenly grow there.
Moreover, this big mushroom has a medicinal smell and does not look like something that can be eaten casually. Could it be some fresh fruit that has just been picked?
The mother looked at the drifting ice sea and asked, "It hasn't affected your cultivation, has it?"
Liu Binghai shook his head, "No, I'm fine."
No one knew what happened to this mushroom, so Liu Binghai collected it and hid it away.
During her next retreat, she made more sour lemonade, and while practicing, she grew more mushrooms.
Those mushrooms suddenly popped up while she was practicing, as if they had been coveted underground for a long time and suddenly jumped out.
She looked up at the sky and suddenly wondered if she had developed new skills while practicing because she drank the lemon fruit that the original owner had soured.
She took the mushrooms home and put them away.
She thought, after all, this lemon fruit was the product of the original owner's spiritual power, which gradually matured day by day. It must be different from ordinary fruits, with stronger spiritual power and greater power. During cultivation, by combining its own power with the power of the jade, it could summon plants...
The mother found it amazing.
In this way, those lemon fruits would become treasures.
Liu Binghai told his mother not to tell anyone and to keep the mushrooms secretly so that she could use them in the future.
My mother was still obedient. These mushrooms could not be picked up by anyone, especially not by Da Xinyu's concubines. Otherwise, they would all covet them and it would be a good thing for them.
Liu Binghai smelled those mushrooms and thought they should be excellent medicinal herbs that would help restore both physical and spiritual strength.
But she didn't dare to eat it easily. The next time she went into seclusion, she brought one with her and placed it next to her, wanting to observe what changes would occur.
Who would have thought that during her next practice, she would be sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, feeling the spiritual energy in the valley.
Suddenly, the floor began to shake and there was a feeling of breaking. She thought that strange mushrooms were going to grow again, so she opened her eyes and stared at it carefully. Unexpectedly, in an instant, a person emerged precariously from the ground!
This time, what came out was not a mushroom, but a young man with handsome eyebrows, clear features, and not very tall.
Liu Binghai was startled, looked at the young man, his lips and teeth moved slightly, and his body paused.
"Who are you?" Liu Binghai asked after a pause.
The boy seemed dazed, like a giant mushroom that suddenly grew out of nowhere.
Mushrooms don't know where they come from.
Boy: "I..."
Liu Binghai thought of Aqiu and became alert. He grabbed a huge lemon fruit and said to the boy, "Will you tell me?"
If you don't tell me, I'll hit you with this big fruit.
Is it possible that through cultivation, I can even grow a human being?
The young man panicked, looked around, and explained, "I am the second son of the Hou family. I don't know how I ended up in your cultivation forest."
The Hou family is a small and inconspicuous family in the valley. They have no prestige and they don't usually practice well. Although they are not rough people, they are not much better than the people in the family who do hard labor such as mining jade.
The young man spoke in a clear and pleasant voice, and seemed to have scared himself, but Ryuhyo Kaikenshin was still facing him.
The young man said in a daze, "It's true, sister. I was looking for jade in the mountains. My feet slipped and I fell. My head went black and I fell right here in front of you..."
He is telling the truth.
He fell into a bottomless valley, and suddenly a strange airflow pushed him here.
Liu Binghai saw that he didn't seem to be lying. If he wanted to peek at people practicing, there was no need to use such a method. It was so conspicuous and it was obviously a way to seek death.
Liu Binghai frowned.
Practice well and become a beautiful boy.
She put away the fruit and just thought that she would need to bring a sword with her next time she practiced.
Liu Binghai picked up the young man, but he was still very panicked. The place where the Hou family was was very far away from here, and it would take half a day to walk there.
Liu Binghai then asked him, "Where were you before you came here?"
The young man said, "I was picking up jade at Yufeng Mountain, and then I felt empty under my feet."
Yufeng Mountain is not too far from here.
But the Hou family is not a family of asceticism at all, "Why are you picking up jade?"
The young man pursed his lips and said, "Sister, what are you saying? Can't our Hou family have people who practice asceticism? My brother doesn't want to practice, but I do."
The boy looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, smaller than Liu Binghai, but also mature. He was just a newcomer and was startled. When he looked up and saw the huge fruit, he was even more surprised. It was the first time he had seen such a big lemon fruit. It was really a rare and excellent fruit for cultivation.
He just wanted to practice well, so he asked, "Sister, can you give me a few of these fruits?"
Liu Binghai looked at him and said, "No."
The boy suddenly felt regretful and said, "I don't want more, just a few, okay?"
Liu Binghai thought pettily that the lemon spirit was dead and he was the only one alive now. He was afraid that he would not be able to produce such big sour fruits in the future, so he could not give it away easily.
She was reluctant to give it away and wanted to keep it for herself to make tea.
He refused and said, "No."
Liu Binghai checked the land where he emerged. There was a pit at this time, but the ground underneath was also solid.
Could it be that she could summon a dragon by practicing with big fruits and fine jade?
Liu Binghai asked him again, "Did anything unusual happen when you were at Yufeng Mountain?"
The young man recovered from his panic, thought carefully, and said, "The wind is a little strong, but otherwise, there is nothing unusual."
The young man and Liu Binghai studied for a while, then sat down on the ground and said to her, "Sister, stop studying. It's common to see strange things happening in the valley. One day, it's not impossible for us to become immortals together."
What he said made sense, but Liu Binghai was still a little wary. "What's your name? What's your rank in your family?"
The young man told everything, "My name is Hou Jinyan, I'm the second oldest in my family, and my father has only two sons."
Hou Jinyan was also mentioned in the original plot. He was very interested in cultivation and was unwilling to participate in clan affairs, so he had never met Dahongzhuang until the original owner got married.
In the final battle against the Son of Red, he used all his unique skills to fight back, and did not participate in the competition for the final position of leader.
I didn't expect that I would bring him out after practicing. Is it because of the same frequency attraction?
Liu Binghai nodded and said, "I can't keep you in this forest. Go out quietly later and don't let anyone see you. Go home quickly."
Hou Jinyan looked at the forest and felt that it was very different. It seemed to have more spiritual energy. He wanted to stay here for a while longer.
But this is the place for retreat in Liubinghai, so it is naturally impossible for him to stay here.
In this case, the boy couldn't force it, so he had to get up from the ground and sit down.
The young man said casually, "It's really troublesome. In a few months, we will send people to the outside of the valley to collect a batch of new medicinal herbs. If I can't cultivate my spiritual power, I can't go out and pick up the best jade..."
Liu Binghai's heart moved, and he asked him, "Going outside the valley?"
The boy said, "Yeah, why, sister, do you want to go too?"
Liu Binghai was silent for a while, "If you practice hard, you still have a chance."
The young man's bright eyes flashed with disappointment. "It's difficult. Every year, the commander's eldest son takes a few people out. Yao Wutian also goes, but it's never my turn."
After that, he added, "I really want to mine new things. With medicinal herbs, I can practice more diligently. In the future, maybe I can even become a clan leader."
The ambition is quite big.
"So what if I'm the clan leader?"
"After becoming the clan leader, maybe I can even become a commander in the future, hehe."
Um?
Liu Binghai opened his eyes wide. This guy was very ambitious and not smart enough to say such outrageous words in front of others.
It can be seen that people’s hearts become simple after staying in the valley for a long time.
"Sister, which sister are you from?"
The original owner did not practice cultivation, and Hou Yan did not participate much in clan affairs, so he did not know Dahong Manor.
Liu Binghai looked at him and asked, "Who do you think I look like?"
The young man said, "The fruit is so big, could it be that the tree-planting sister secretly came out to practice?"
There are also many descendants of rough people here. Although they don’t have any cultivation tasks, they like this and will practice it secretly.
Liu Binghai looked at him with clear eyes and said calmly, "I am the daughter of Da Xinyu, from Dahongzhuang."
"ah?"
The boy screamed.
