The three fairy fruits were placed in the hands of the three people.
"Eat."
Nangong Jin took it and started eating.
Wanwan too.
Only Fang Shiqing was very curious.
"Does this fruit have any special effects?"
Having spent a lot of time with Fang Shiqing, she could guess some of the things Gu Xuan did.
Gu Xuan's words just now also indicated that this fruit has some other effects.
Gu Xuan smiled slightly.
"Of course."
At this moment, Nangong Jin, who was eating, also looked at Gu Xuan.
He asked curiously.
"What are the effects?"
Gu Xuan continued.
"This effect is very special, you just need to know about it, you can't tell anyone."
Nangong Jin raised his hand and swore an oath.
"I will definitely not tell anyone."
Gu Xuan looked at Nangong Jin and continued.
"This fruit is called the Immortal Spirit Fruit. Its special effect is to increase lifespan by twenty years, making the user instantly twenty years younger."
After Gu Xuan described the effect, Nangong Jin and Fang Shiqing stared at him intently with wide eyes.
They didn't believe what they heard.
Fang Shiqing was the first to react.
"No way."
Nangong Jin quickly asked as well.
"Are you mistaken? If it really had such an effect, wouldn't it be something divine?"
Gu Xuan explained with a smile.
“You can regard it as something that only gods possess, because this thing itself transcends cognition.”
The two still didn't believe it.
However, they looked at the fruit in their hands.
His eyes still showed shock.
But now they are eager to reap the rewards.
However, Fang Shiqing thought of a problem.
"By the way, is it okay for Wanwan to eat it?"
She saw that Wanwan had almost finished eating.
She was filled with worry at that moment.
"Don't worry, Wanwan is fine. This fruit will only increase lifespan; the youth-reducing effect won't work on Wanwan."
Fang Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Gu Xuan's words.
"That's good."
At this moment, Nangong Jin had already finished eating a fairy fruit.
He then looked at Gu Xuan.
"Pick one for me."
Gu Xuan looked at her and said.
One is enough.
"I want to eat another one, to make me feel younger."
Gu Xuan was speechless for a moment before explaining.
"No matter how much you eat, you'll only return to the state of an 18-year-old. If you want to have baby skin, you'll need to use other things. However, baby skin is too delicate, so it's better to stay normal."
Fang Shiqing also tried to persuade her.
"Yes, there's no need to pursue perfection."
Nangong Jin looked aggrieved.
"But I really want to eat one more."
Fang Shiqing also looked at Gu Xuan.
"Can't we eat any more?"
"Each person can only eat one. The next time you can eat it will be at least five years later. Even if you eat it now, you will only taste the fruit. You will not experience any effect at all, and your lifespan will not be increased."
Nangong Jin was also full of curiosity when she heard Gu Xuan say that.
"why is that."
"This can be considered a protective mechanism, and the growth and ripening of this fruit takes time, which is not short, about five years."
Nangong Jin nodded after hearing this.
"I see."
She looked at the fairy fruit tree.
A little drool dripped from the corner of his mouth.
He wiped away his drool forcefully and stopped looking.
She knew that eating more fruit would be pointless, and there weren't many fruits left on the tree, so eating more would be a waste.
However, Fang Shiqing asked a question out of curiosity.
"What do you plan to do with the rest?"
"We'll talk about that later. The fruit won't spoil if it's left on the tree."
In fact, Gu Xuan already had an idea in mind.
Some of these may need to be given to the official side.
After all, the authorities have also helped Gu Xuan a lot.
The group quickly finished eating the Immortal Fruit.
Then Gu Xuan spoke.
"Okay, let's draw, Wanwan, let's have a drawing contest."
Wanwan looked delighted after hearing this.
"OK."
Gu Xuan then packed up his things.
Set up two long tables.
Then prepare the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
This time, Gu Xuan did not use the Immortal Bamboo Spirit Brush or the Spirit Crystal Graphite.
It only used spirit herb Xuan paper and spirit stone inkstone.
This way, Wanwan and I can have a fair competition.
Put the things away properly.
Wanwan was delighted when she saw the paper.
"Brother, is this new paper? It feels so nice to the touch. It must be so comfortable to draw on this kind of paper."
Gu Xuan explained with a smile.
"Yes, this is new paper, it works very well, here you go."
Fang Shiqing and Nangong Jin curiously leaned over to take a look.
However, neither of them could paint, so they were unaware of this.
Fang Shiqing looked at it but couldn't figure it out, so she asked a question.
"It looks pretty much the same as before, except it's a little whiter and has a bit of a silvery sheen."
Gu Xuan smiled after hearing this.
But Wanwan said...
"Sister is so silly, she can't tell."
After hearing this, Fang Shiqing gently tapped Wanwan's head.
"You think you're so smart."
Gu Xuan smiled and explained.
"The materials used in this Xuan paper are very special and rare, and it makes painting very fluid. You can't tell now, but you'll know when Wanwan finishes painting."
This piqued their curiosity.
"Really."
"Give it a try?"
Gu Xuan glanced at the two of them.
"Who wants to go first?"
Fang Shiqing went directly to the Immortal Spirit Fruit Tree.
Because they were all dressed in ancient costumes, as soon as they stood under the tree and posed, they exuded a classical beauty.
Fang Shiqing gave a side profile shot.
That kind of beauty that is both elusive and alluring.
Gu Xuan was captivated by it for a moment.
This was further enhanced by the presence of the spiritual mist.
This made the place where Fang Shiqing was standing even more mysterious.
A faint mist surrounded them.
Nangong Jin, who was standing to the side, also spoke up in surprise.
"So beautiful."
After realizing what was happening, Gu Xuan immediately began to write.
Gu Xuan's sketches alone reveal a lively and beautiful quality.
He also took a moment to glance at Wanwan.
Wanwan's situation is also going very smoothly.
The flowing, graceful lines, combined with the spirit herb Xuan paper and the spirit inkstone, elevated Wanwan's painting skills to a whole new level.
Although it is still very different from Gu Xuan.
But it's already very good.
He is even better than some masters.
Gu Xuan also gave Wanwan some pointers, which helped her improve her painting skills.
The two continued like this for about an hour.
This finally made Fang Shiqing relax.
Fortunately, this was a fairyland. If it were outside, Fang Shiqing would have been exhausted long ago. She stood here for an hour and didn't feel anything unusual.
After finishing her work, she couldn't wait to come to Wanwan's side to look at Wanwan's paintings.
I was immediately drawn to it at first sight.
"So beautiful, Wanwan's skill is amazing."
Gu Xuan said.
"There's still a little polishing to be done; it will look even better once it's finished."
Fang Shiqing nodded.
And I'm even more excited.
At this moment, he wanted to see Gu Xuan's paintings.
But Gu Xuan covered his painting with another sheet of Xuan paper.
Fang Shiqing looked puzzled.
"Why won't you let me see it?"
Gu Xuan explained.
"Let's wait for Wanwan to finish drawing."
He gestured to it deliberately.
Seeing this, Fang Shiqing understood and nodded.
Then he walked over to Wanwan and continued to watch her refine her writing.
