Throughout the private room, Zishu gracefully ate the medicinal cuisine, her entire focus on the food before her. Her junior sister was truly blessed to have found such a talented chef; not only would she never have to worry about food again, but the Drunken Immortal Pavilion would also generate a substantial daily income of spirit stones.
After eating almost all of his food, Zishu noticed the enticingly fragrant spirit peaches in front of him, cut into pieces. The translucent, spiritually radiant peaches immediately caught Zishu's eye.
After taking a bite, Zishu realized this peach was mutated; its taste and spiritual energy far surpassed that of ordinary spiritual peaches. His eyes immediately lit up, and he looked towards Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu.
Upon closer inspection,
Sigh...
I got a face full of PDA again.
Dressed in white, the exceptionally handsome Xiu Qiyu's long, strong hands constantly turned the pages of the account book in his hands. He held a white jade pen in the book and occasionally wrote and drew on it.
Ye Xiruo sat opposite Xiu Qiyu, occasionally feeding Xiu Qiyu a bite or two of the spirit peach. The two smiled at each other, and this tacit understanding and gentle warmth made Zishu clutch his chest, feeling as if his heart was about to be pierced.
Junior Sister and Xiu Qiyu!
Sigh...
I'm not going to say anything more, and I'm not going to watch anymore. Saying more would only bring tears to my eyes.
"Senior Brother, you've finished eating. How was it? Compared to Master's imperial chefs?"
"Acceptable." This clearly emotionally charged, aloof evaluation almost made Ye Xiruo laugh. Acceptable, which means not quite perfect. Please, could Senior Brother wipe the sauce off his mouth before saying that? It's not convincing at all.
"Junior Sister, has this spirit peach mutated?"
After finishing the peach in her hand, Ye Xiruo nodded: "Perhaps! If we water it with spiritual liquid more often, it will mutate on its own."
Zishu clutched his chest, clearly deeply shocked by Ye Xiruo's words: "Junior Sister, do you know how expensive spirit liquid is? Most people wouldn't even use it for cultivation, and you're using it to water a useless spirit peach tree!" Thinking of the astronomical amount of spirit stones Ye Xiruo had consumed, Zishu felt a wave of dizziness. Wasn't Junior Sister supposed to be from the countryside? How come she seems even more extravagant than the Ninth Princess? The worst part is, Junior Sister really doesn't understand any common sense at all!
Zishu looked at Xiu Qiyu, who gave a faint smile: "Spirit stones are not important, as long as Xiaoyezi is happy."
"Senior Brother, don't you think this spirit peach is delicious? Oh, right, there are also grapes."
Ye Xiruo casually took out a few bunches of very tempting purplish-black grapes from her spatial storage: "You guys should try them. I plan to use the rest to make wine."
Zishu's hand trembled as he pointed at the grapes, and he asked again, unwilling to give up, "These weren't also watered with spiritual liquid, were they?"
"Of course not, it's just a spirit-gathering array set up with mid-grade spirit stones."
That's all? Mid-grade spirit stones! Junior Sister, you're such a spendthrift! You can't spend money like that!
“Junior Sister, you can’t do that again. You have to know that alchemists are very poor. A high-grade spiritual herb is very expensive. The seeds of the spiritual herb and the pill bottle are all very expensive. The higher the grade of the spiritual herb, the more expensive it is. Do you know the pain of missing out on your favorite spiritual herb because you don’t have money?” Zishu looked heartbroken.
Ye Xiruo shook her head: "Senior Brother, I'm still a baby, and my baby level is still very low."
Zishu: Σ(°△°|||)︴How come my junior sister is becoming less and less adorable? This kind of reckless waste of spirit stones is absolutely wrong, wrong. We must correct her while she is still young.
Zishu silently resolved to reason with her, appealing to her emotions and logic, so that his junior sister would see the error of her ways.
Ye Xiruo was somewhat surprised to see Zishu with his adorable baby face puffed out, even forgetting to eat the grapes.
"Brother Xiu Qi, is Senior Brother really upset?"
"It's nothing."
The spirit peach tree, grapes, apples, and other spirit fruits planted in the space all mutated under the nourishment of the rich spiritual energy within. This really had nothing to do with her. However, the matter of the space couldn't be exposed, so she could only let her senior brother continue to misunderstand.
To soothe her senior brother's heart, which was on the verge of shattering, Ye Xiruo decided to take out a bottle of spiritual wine to calm him down.
"Junior Sister".
"Senior Brother."
What's with this unspoken tension between them? Xiu Qiyu held the teacup, slowly sipping it with elegant and noble movements, like a banished immortal.
"Junior Sister, what is the most important thing for a pill refiner?" Ye Xiruo was a little nervous looking at his serious face.
"Strange fire, alchemy cauldron, or cultivation level."
"Wrong, it's spirit stones."
Haha, Senior Brother's ideas are really quite advanced. Is this the otherworldly version of the theory that spirit stones are omnipotent?
I disagree.
"Go ahead and say it." He started rolling up his sleeves. If he couldn't come up with anything coherent, he shouldn't blame me for beating up Xiu Qiyu.
"For alchemists, cultivation level is the most important thing. As long as your cultivation level is high enough, your combat strength is amazing, and your escape speed is top-notch, why would you have to worry about not having spirit stones?"
What does Junior Sister mean by this? It can't be what he thinks it is!
Ye Xiruo blinked her eyes: "Senior Brother, you're not wrong. If you don't have spirit stones, you can rob them."
"Robbery is risky. It's safer to refine pills and sell them or to treat patients."
"Senior Brother, you don't understand! Fortune favors the bold. What's a little risk for spirit stones?"
Zishu snapped irritably, "I'm afraid you'll get beaten to death."
"No." Ye Xiruo said calmly.
“Because I’m here.” Xiu Qiyu silently added.
The senior brother, caught off guard, was completely bewildered: "So, the reason why junior sister wanted to rob someone was because of you."
"Little Yezi occasionally wants to experience what it's like to be a bandit, how can I not grant her wish?" This was yet another instance of unconditional pampering.
"In short, spirit stones must not be wasted. If you want to eat any spirit fruit, you can go to the quest hall to post a quest. It's much more convenient than searching for it yourself."
"What Senior Brother said makes sense." Ye Xiruo felt as if a new world had opened up for her.
"I will bring you some local specialties from Lingshan."
"That's great, Senior Brother. Even if the medicinal herbs aren't mature, seedlings will do. We can plant them ourselves slowly."
"I see."
"Senior Brother, try some grapes I grew myself."
"How many spirit stones are in that one bite?" Zishu picked up a bunch of grapes and ate them slowly, feeling both pain and pleasure. His eyes, however, grew brighter and brighter: "Remember to save me a few jars of wine."
"Don't worry! I'll never forget my senior brother, no matter who else I forget."
"Don't worry about the spirit stones, mine also belong to Xiao Yezi."
Zishu, who was eating grapes, almost choked to death. This couple was showing off their love so much.
