Qin Muyan lifted Yang Lan'er's black hair and played with it, feeling a sweet sense of satisfaction. Before, he could only watch her from afar, but now, he could finally touch her and fulfill his wish.
"Half a month ago, all the sects in the world of cultivation had gathered in the Medicine King Palace. It was a great occasion." Qin Muyan said lazily, his hands always touching here and there, as if confirming the authenticity of the person in front of him.
Yang Lan'er has returned to her original appearance. She raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "It seems that I should go out and take a look. It sounds like it's very lively."
Snow Lotus Peak did not seem to receive outsiders and was always very quiet. Moreover, she had been in seclusion and did not notice anything wrong when she went out to register just now.
"It's really lively. The cultivators nowadays are getting better and better at enjoying life." Qin Muyan felt somewhat emotional.
"So, there was no such thing in your era?" Yang Lan'er said in surprise. She felt more and more that Qin Muyan's era seemed so long ago that it was almost an antique.
However, this was just a thought, Yang Lan'er didn't dare to complain in front of Qin Muyan!
"No, at that time, the overall level was much higher than it is now, and the relationship between them was very good. They often exchanged ideas on weekdays, so there was no need for such competitions." Qin Muyan paused, his eyes a little distant: "At that time, many people often discussed Taoism together, and they were not as self-centered as they are now."
The so-called discussion of Taoism is to exchange cultivation experiences without any reservations, which is truly beneficial to everyone.
Now, let alone strangers, even among true friends, I am afraid that it is rare for us to have such a heart-to-heart talk.
Even couples who practice dual cultivation would hide their cultivation secrets, as if they were afraid that others would know their cultivation secrets.
Of course, this has something to do with the current social situation. In those years, there were abundant resources for cultivation, and there was no need to hide some things. Anyway, you couldn't use them all, so it was perfect to use them as favors or exchange them for other secret techniques.
Nowadays, we don’t have enough of many things, so it’s impossible for us to be generous.
"That's right." Yang Lan'er nodded, thinking of some records of her ancestors, which also showed the beauty of the heyday of cultivation, which is really incomparable to today.
Qin Muyan flipped his hand and two jade boxes appeared in his hand: "This is what you wanted, it should be enough!"
Not lacking? Yang Lan'er was confused. Didn't she get the Xiaoyao Bamboo?
Without thinking too much about it, Yang Lan'er opened one of the jade boxes. A strong chill rushed towards her. Although cultivators were not afraid of the cold, Yang Lan'er shivered at that moment.
This is an unconscious reaction due to the huge temperature difference in an instant.
There are three green silkworms in the jade box with two bean sprout-shaped leaves on their heads. The name "Ice Silkworm Strange Buds" is really descriptive.
There are three strange buds of ice silkworms, two are the size of little fingers, and one is the size of a thumb. Such a strange species looks really rare.
Yang Lan'er thought to herself, took a look at it and then sealed it up again, threw it into the space, and prepared to find an ice and snow environment to raise it. It would be even better if it could reproduce some more by then.
The rare ice silkworm buds are already extinct in the world of cultivation. According to the experience of our ancestors who eradicated them, they seem to be very rare and valuable in the fairy world.
Yang Lan'er was very curious about the remaining jade box. She picked it up and looked at it. She glanced at Qin Muyan and then opened it with confidence. In the jade box was a ten-centimeter-long, wrist-thick emerald green cylindrical object. There was a faint fluorescent light flashing on the emerald green surface, which was very captivating and eye-catching.
Yang Lan'er was stunned. After a suspicious look, she was particularly surprised: "Xiaoyao Bamboo? Is this Xiaoyao Bamboo?"
No wonder Qin Muyan just said that nothing would be a problem. The appearance of this Xiaoyao Bamboo is too weird!
"Yeah!" Qin Muyan finally waited for Yang Lan'er's surprise and was instantly satisfied.
Yang Lan'er was so excited that she grabbed Qin Muyan's collar and asked, "How did you get here?"
Didn't they say that only the Medicine King Hall had a small section? Didn't Qin Muyan go to look for the Ice Silkworm Buds? How come he also brought the Happy Bamboo?
"This is a long story. This time, the man in red appeared on behalf of Kongchen Palace." Qin Muyan seemed to want to have a long talk. He stretched out his hand to cover the jade box in Yang Lan'er's hand. It was unwise to expose it to the air like this.
"Oh?" Yang Lan'er nodded. In the novel, it seemed that Kongchen Palace appeared directly several times.
Although few people know about Kongchen Palace, the top leaders of each sect are aware of it and will use their best to support this mysterious sect.
“When the people from Kongchen Palace showed up, the people from Medicine King Hall were flattered. In order to please them, they put the prize in the hands of the man in red to show fairness. After all, Medicine King Hall took out the sect’s treasure this time, and many people didn’t believe it.” Qin Muyan lightly dropped a shocking news.
“…”
Yang Lan'er was stunned, not knowing what to say. Who would praise her like this and say that others were flattered to see her? It felt so weird.
"Then what?" Yang Lan'er asked in a daze.
She saw the Xiaoyao bamboo in the jade box, which was obviously very fresh, as if it had just been picked.
Although the jade box can preserve the freshness and quality of herbs and pills to a certain extent, the things left by the founder of the Medicine King Hall should not be so fresh and tender. The jade box is not omnipotent.
Seeing this, Qin Muyan felt itchy again, so he climbed his claws onto Yang Lan'er's face and rubbed it gently. He originally wanted to pinch her, but ultimately couldn't bear to do so.
“Then…” Qin Muyan’s face looked strange for a moment: “The Xiaoyao Bamboo in the Medicine King Hall is actually half a bamboo shoot, and its spiritual energy has been completely lost. I estimate that in a few years, this bamboo shoot will be completely useless.”
Hearing this, Yang Lan'er was embarrassed and felt depressed about her initial desire to fight for it. If she had gone through so much trouble to obtain the so-called sect treasure, but it turned out to be just a bamboo shoot whose spiritual energy was about to disappear, would she be so angry that she would explode on the spot? You know, that was Yin Zimo's hope.
The bamboo shoots of Xiaoyao bamboo, when made into a spiritual vegetable and delicacy, are absolutely a rare and exquisite product, a high-end luxury product that most people have never heard of.
It can be used as medicine, but bamboo shoots are too tender and have little effect.
After holding her breath, Yang Lan'er couldn't help but complain: "No wonder you're willing to give it out as a prize. It's not very useful at all, okay?"
If it weren't for the bamboo shoots, I'm afraid the spiritual energy would have disappeared soon, and the Medicine King Hall would have made full use of it and directly used it to refine pills.
"Yeah, I just saw it and had a feeling of "So that's how it is". I was also wondering why the Medicine King Palace was so generous. It seems that the Medicine King Palace has a strong commercial atmosphere in recent years. Even if it wanted to show off in the competition, it would not make such a contribution." Qin Muyan thought of himself feeling both amused and helpless at the time. Fortunately, he saw it in advance. Isn't this a scam?
