Hong Kong Island, Yu family mansion.
The next morning, the servants of the Yu family discovered that the big banyan tree in the courtyard, which had always been lush and green, had died overnight.
The tree's dead leaves had all fallen to the ground, leaving its branches bare. The twelve bonsai trees beneath the tree also drooped, as if they had lost most of their life overnight.
"Master, can Zhuzhu swallow this spiritual plant? I'm a little hungry." Chaos Pearl looked at the bonsai pots and felt a little hungry. No wonder Zhou Yuanyuan had been so busy these days that she hadn't practiced properly. Chaos Pearl hadn't been well-received the past few days. Even when Zhou Yuanyuan was practicing, she didn't dare to take advantage of the spiritual energy surrounding her body. Since accepting her master, Chaos Pearl hadn't received any spiritual energy. No wonder the sight of a few spiritual plants made her drool.
To enhance the Qian family's feng shui formation, the Taoist priest used twelve different kinds of spiritual plants as bonsai. To prevent others from observing, the Taoist priest had also added a sleight of hand to the feng shui formation, making the plants appear like ordinary pine trees. Once the feng shui formation was broken, the sleight of hand was also broken.
"Zhuzhu, don't be so anxious. Let Xiaoyu take a look first." Zhou Yuanyuan's attitude towards the Chaos Orb has improved significantly now. Ever since she learned that the Chaos Orb can be used as a "thug," Zhou Yuanyuan has felt a surge of happiness and isn't as annoyed with it as before. Compared to a helpful younger brother who only seeks out benefits, Zhou Yuanyuan definitely prefers the former.
Zhou Yuanyuan didn’t know whether these spiritual plants were useful. To Zhou Yuanyuan, Xiaoyu was like her teacher. No matter what it was, if Zhou Yuanyuan didn’t understand it, she would always ask Xiaoyu first.
"Master, let's do this! Let Zhuzhu extract the remaining luck from the spiritual plant and return it to Yu Xiaohan, and the rest of the spiritual plant will be cheap for Zhuzhu! Anyway, if Zhuzhu swallows it, it will only stay in its trial world. When the master wants to use it, he can ask Zhuzhu to pull some out for you at any time." Xiaoyu thought about it and made the best arrangement.
The Chaos Pearl was different from Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu could only absorb the spiritual energy cultivated by Zhou Yuanyuan, but the Chaos Pearl could increase spiritual energy by planting spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs in the Trial World. Xiaoyu had previously thought of having Hu Sanniang plant spiritual herbs in the Trial World, but now she had just brought the time forward.
"Ah? The beads can be returned after being eaten? That's great." Zhou Yuanyuan was very satisfied. Zhou Yuanyuan had been to the trial world of the Chaos Pearl herself. It was a small world in itself with mountains, water, and fertile land. Planting spiritual plants in it was a good idea.
After the Chaos Pearl swallowed the Yu family's spiritual plant, it condensed into a purple bead, not much bigger than a sesame seed. Zhou Yuanyuan gave it to Yu Xiaohan to eat. This bead was formed from a portion of Yu Xiaohan's lost luck. Before the Feng Shui formation had time to refine it, the bead intercepted it.
Yu Xiaohan swallowed the little bead without even asking Zhou Yuanyuan what it was. Everything that happened at the Yu family last night had made Yu Xiaohan's mind a mess. Yu Xiaohan had always thought that his father-in-law appreciated him because of his hard work and efforts, but he had never imagined that it was because of some mysterious "luck". Yu Xiaohan had been educated in atheism and did not believe in ghosts and gods in this world. But last night, outside Zhou Yuanyuan's door, he heard his wife Qian Yuxin say that she had raised a "little ghost" for over 30 years. All of this made Yu Xiaohan feel like "What's wrong with this world?"
Anyway, Yu Xiaohan now believed Zhou Yuanyuan in everything. He would do whatever Zhou Yuanyuan said. Not to mention Zhou Yuanyuan asking him to swallow a small bead, even if Zhou Yuanyuan asked Yu Xiaohan to drink a cup of talisman water, he would probably drink it.
Strangely enough, after Yu Xiaohan ate the little bead, he felt clear-headed and his spirits were lifted.
Zhou Yuanyuan stayed at Yu's house for a week, but the Taoist priest never showed up. Yu Xiaohan went to see Master Dingyuan's residence, but he didn't see him either. He heard that Master Dingyuan had left Hong Kong Island ten days ago and no one knew what he was doing.
This week, Zhou Yuanyuan went to the Yu Jewelry warehouse and selected a large piece of top-quality white jade. She planned to carve a high-quality amulet for Yu Xiaohan, the highest quality she could currently create. She also selected two of the finest pieces of white jade Wen Ziqing had brought back from the Gobi Desert for Zhou Yuanyuan. She had Xiaoyu carve two "Vajra Jade Talismans" for Wen Ziqing and Zhou Zhixin, one each for protection.
As for the remaining pieces of jade, Xiaoyu was in danger of dissipating when Zhou Yuanyuan was imprisoned in the trial world for too long, so she absorbed the spiritual energy from those pieces of jade and almost became waste. She could not carry the spiritual energy that Zhou Yuanyuan needed to inject into the amulet.
Zhou Yuanyuan spent three days carving two jade talismans for Yu Xiaohan.
One is a peace amulet, used to protect the Yu Xiaohan family mansion. With this jade amulet in the Yu family mansion, everything the people living there will do will be smoother.
The other piece was a spirit-nourishing talisman, given to Yu Xiaohan to wear personally. Zhou Yuanyuan had Zhuzhu recover a small portion of Yu Xiaohan's luck that had been drained by the feng shui formation, but there was no way to recover the lost portion. Fortunately, Yu Xiaohan had plenty of luck, so even if he lost most of it, the little bit that remained would keep Yu Xiaohan's Yu Group running smoothly.
Xiaoyu said that as long as Yu Xiaohan and his wife did more good deeds, Yu Xiaohan's luck would gradually increase. Somehow, Xiaoyu, this stingy little girl, liked Yu Xiaohan very much and specially injected a trace of innate spiritual energy into the nourishing talisman that Zhou Yuanyuan had carved for Yu Xiaohan.
Yu Xiaohan carries a nourishing talisman with small jade spiritual energy every day, which nourishes his body and soul. This can be considered a blessing in disguise!
After losing her little ghost, Qian Yuxin's face aged slightly, but even so, she remained a stunning beauty. Zhou Yuanyuan felt pity for her, but was helpless. After all, raising a little ghost was detrimental to her health. Even if Zhou Yuanyuan had a panacea, it wouldn't restore Qian Yuxin's lost yang energy. Qian Yuxin only had a decade or so left to live.
The matter of the Yu family had just been settled, and before Zhou Yuanyuan could go out shopping, she received a call from General Zhou in Kyoto.
On the phone, General Zhou asked Zhou Yuanyuan to return to Kyoto as soon as possible, as he had something to discuss with her.
When he was about to hang up the phone, General Zhou hesitated for a few seconds and asked Zhou Yuanyuan if she knew about his engagement with Wen Ziqing.
Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned. How could she not know that she was engaged to that Wen Ziqing? When? Who did it?
Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan didn't say anything, General Zhou thought she had tacitly agreed to the matter, so he told Zhou Yuanyuan a very unfortunate news: Wen Ziqing was missing on the front line.
First set a small goal, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju mobile version reading website:
