Chapter 292 Bringing Gifts
Yu Sheng also felt very fortunate.
He felt that he might not encounter any bloody disaster today - the little doll's previous "divination" was obviously inaccurate.
The senior brother Xuan Che from Qianfeng Lingshan in front of him was very friendly. Perhaps he did it for the sake of his master, or perhaps it was because of the deterrent effect of the Ankaela incident. Anyway, it seemed that he was not going to pursue the revenge of being hung on the beam and beaten with a copper-headed leather belt. This really made Yu Sheng feel relieved.
While feeling relieved, he also decided that it would be better not to ask about the follow-up of the original "misunderstanding".
After some pleasantries, Xuan Che finally got used to the more or less weird environment inside No. 66 Wutong Road. He groped around somewhere on his body and took out a wooden box that looked quite exquisite, and handed it to Yu Sheng.
"This is a small gift from my master," the young talent said politely, "Please don't refuse. It's just some ordinary local specialties from Qianfeng Lingshan."
As soon as Yu Sheng saw the other party take out the box, he felt his heart move, and he became a little excited and expectant on the spot, thinking that the plot that he usually only wrote about in novels would actually happen in reality - this is a gift brought by a real cultivator. Although the style of the cultivators in this world is more or less a bit strange, but looking at the exquisite appearance of the box, the things inside must not be bad.
He thanked her and took the wooden box. He carefully opened it while expecting what treasures were inside. Then he saw a box full of extremely beautiful lavender pills lying quietly inside.
On the surface of each pill, you can see mysterious patterns that are faintly glowing and slowly flickering.
Yu Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and the setting of more than 200,000 words went through his mind. He then looked up at Xuan Che opposite him and said, "Is this... the 'immortal pill' that you made at Qianfeng Lingshan?"
"Made by my master himself," Xuan Che said with a smile on his face. "There are three main peaks in Qianfeng Lingshan: Yunling, Shenbing, and Yushou. Yunling is the most important one, and he specializes in the art of refining elixirs and spells. My master is the master of this art. The elixirs he made are famous even if they are placed among the stars..."
Yu Sheng was delighted when he heard this. Although the "stews" that Hu Li usually cooked seemed to have many strange "magical powers", the appearance was still a bit strange. The thing in front of him, at least in terms of style, fits his stereotype of "immortal pills". Although the effect is still unknown, they look very valuable for collection. As soon as Xuan Che finished speaking, he couldn't wait to ask, "What are the effects? Foundation building? Body building? Improve cultivation?"
"Um..." Xuan Che opened his mouth, but after hearing Yu Sheng's series of questions, he hesitated for some reason. After two or three seconds, he continued, "...It's mainly because it tastes good. This box is grape flavored, and it's my master's masterpiece."
Yu Sheng's expression suddenly froze: "......?"
Another two seconds passed, and he heard Xuan Che continue, "The foreign trade type is like this. Of course, this thing also has some other effects, such as regulating endocrine, calming nerves and aiding digestion. It is effective for most carbon-based species. In addition, it is not recommended for Senjin people to eat it. They are prone to kidney stones after eating it."
Yu Sheng's expression was still stiff: "..."
I always feel like I've heard something that's both particularly reasonable and outrageous. If you're not sure, ask again.
"Well, I have some questions," Yu Sheng finally spoke, "I don't travel far often, so I don't know much about the outside world. I haven't been to your Thousand Peaks Mountain, but according to my understanding and the information I found from border communications, you all practice Taoism, and the effect of elixirs..."
He pointed at the box of grape-flavored elixirs, his eyes filled with confusion: "Shouldn't it at least have some power to improve my cultivation, concentrate my mind and energy, and reshape my muscles and bones?"
"We do have the kind you're talking about, but we don't dare give it to others because we can't get the license," Xuan Che spread his hands. "It's mainly the 'Foreign Food Safety License' and the 'General Biological Intake Distribution License'. The second one is the most difficult, and requires a lot of 'Xenobiotic Toxicology and Toxicology Assessment Reports'. The normal elixirs we have will definitely not pass the review..."
He paused for a moment, probably trying to organize his words. It took him half a minute to figure out how to explain: "To put it simply, as long as it's not a common species in our area and you haven't been professionally trained, you'll die if you eat it."
Yu Sheng: “…”
He instantly recalled the scene when he saw the strange-shaped cans on the homepage of the Xingchen MRT app.
This is how the world works, a reasonable comparison.
Yu Sheng exhaled, and nodded with a look of understanding: "Okay, I see, so you have this kind of foreign trade type... um, no wonder it's a local specialty."
"It's very famous. Feiyu-13b is a mysterious place for many outsiders, so many people are very interested in our elixirs and talismans," Xuan Che said proudly. "My master is an open-minded person. He has always wanted to take a step forward in foreign exchanges and has taken the lead in launching many cultural and creative projects..."
Well, it’s still the flagship product of the Qianfeng Lingshan Cultural and Creative Project - the one made and signed by local leaders themselves.
Yu Sheng's expression had not changed at this time, and he looked calm and composed.
However, Irene, who was standing next to him, suddenly became excited for some reason. The little doll quickly climbed onto the coffee table, raised her hand and pointed at Yu Sheng and said to Xuan Che, "Well, you can actually bring the genuine elixir from your place. He can eat anything. You don't have to pay for it even if he dies..."
Xuan Che blinked, and this time it was his turn to have his expression frozen.
Yu Sheng became generous upon seeing this. He leaned over and patted the handsome young man on the shoulder, saying earnestly, "This is how it is when two people communicate across worldviews for the first time. Both sides can easily be stunned by a word from the other party. Don't mind this guy's nonsense. I like this gift very much."
As he said this, he took out a "magic pill" from the wooden box and put it into his mouth - and it really tasted like grapes.
Then he stuffed another one into the mouth of the fox that was looking at him eagerly, and put the rest away.
It must be put away. Looking at Hu Li's eyes, if there is any mistake, this box of good things will be shown off by her.
Then, the topic of both sides finally turned to the main business.
This was also the primary purpose for Xuan Che to be sent here by his master "Four Thousand Evil Disciples" to "meet online friends" - to find out where the "foreign object" that appeared in the strange room on the second floor of Yu Sheng's house came from.
Xuan Che placed another small wooden box on the coffee table.
"This is what Master Uncle brought back when he was traveling around the world. My master found it in Master Uncle's treasure cabinet."
Yu Sheng, Hu Li and Ailin all came over immediately and looked at the ordinary "piece of cloth" lying in the box.
"Indeed, the patterns on the edges are the same, but the material and color of the fabric itself are slightly different. It looks like they are from the same source," Yu Sheng took out his phone and carefully compared the details of the fabric fragment, saying thoughtfully, "and there are relatively neat cuts on the edge of this piece of fabric, which looks like it was cut by a sharp weapon... The piece I found looks more like it was torn off."
"Can I take a look at the 'room' you mentioned?" Xuan Che said, "I have some basic skills in Qimen Dunshu and the spiritual realm, so maybe I can see something."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Yu Sheng nodded immediately and stood up while saying, "Of course, it's upstairs. I'll take you there."
He picked up Irene from his side and put her on his shoulder, then walked to the second floor with Hu Li and Xuan Che.
The group soon arrived at the strange room at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
"It's this room," Yu Sheng raised his hand and pointed at the door in front of him, "This room has always been a little weird. Sometimes there will be scenery that doesn't seem to be from this world. This door is also very strange. It took me a lot of effort to open it the first time..."
Xuan Che couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth as he listened.
Is this room a little weird? There aren't many things that are right in this whole house!
But after all, he had his master's orders to do so, so he calmed himself, cast a few spells on himself without making a sound, crushed a pill in his palm and refined it, then followed Yu Sheng, opened the door and stepped into the room at the end of the corridor.
It was just an ordinary-looking house, at least to the naked eye, and like everything else at 66 Wutong Road, the room was plain and normal.
But the moment he stepped into the room, Xuan Che felt a very subtle... disharmony.
Unlike other places in the building, this sense of disharmony was not an imbalance in the perception of spatial orientation or distance, but rather that the entire room felt a little wrong.
The most unusual thing was the mirror on the opposite wall.
Yu Sheng noticed that Xuan Che's eyes immediately fell on the mirror, and this reaction made him raise his eyebrows slightly.
"You seem to feel something?"
"This mirror is a little strange," Xuan Che said, and walked to the seemingly ordinary mirror, reaching out and carefully touching its mirror surface, "but... I can't explain it."
"It does have a problem, but it's in the 'off' state now," Yu Sheng said casually, "When this mirror is 'opened', it will reflect the scenery of another place - sometimes it is a ruin in the black fog, and sometimes it is a cave with howling snow and wind. In the second case, the whole room will be covered with snow and wind. In addition, sometimes I feel that this room seems to be torn in two, not physically torn in two, but..."
Yu Sheng hesitated when he spoke of this, as if he could not find the right words to explain the abstract feeling. After a long while, he finally thought of a way to describe it: "It's as if the whole room is in two places at the same time. In the room visible to the naked eye, there is also an 'other side' that is invisible to the naked eye."
Xuan Che thought for a moment: "...It's like being stuck between two worlds?"
