"I didn't say anything wrong," Ling Yuan muttered innocently. "With the little monkey's aptitude, it can only evolve to a golden spiritual root at most, it can't..."
Ling Yuan didn't say anything more.
It was only after being sharply whipped by Yan Xi's branch that it suddenly remembered that there were many things it couldn't say.
Wukong was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this.
What are you saying?
What does it mean that one can only evolve to the golden spiritual root at most?
A golden spiritual root? Isn't that already the absolute limit? How come it's treated like trash in their mouths?
"Don't listen to him. As long as you stay by your master's side, you will definitely become as strong as us in the future." Yan Xi shook the branch and gently brushed it across Wukong's head.
Wukong took a deep breath, clenched his little paws tightly, and said firmly, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Sister Tao."
yes.
Who is the master?
As long as you follow your master faithfully, worrying about his worries before him and enjoying his joys after him.
Why worry about not becoming stronger in the future?
“That calf and the little snail, your cultivation levels are too low right now, you can’t handle it. Come find me when you reach the half-step immortal realm,” Yan Xi said.
We are family, so we shouldn't treat each other differently.
"Yes, thank you, Sister Tao." The Bull Demon King's eyes gleamed as he replied repeatedly.
Tian Susu huddled behind the Bull Demon King, her voice soft and gentle as she replied, "Yes, thank you, Sister Tao."
"Wukong, there's no use just watching. You can't eat anymore today, or you'll get an upset stomach," Bai Qingqing's voice came from the side.
As expected, monkeys have a natural love for peaches; they've been standing under the peach tree for ages.
"Okay, I understand." Wukong snapped out of his daze, quickly ran to Bai Qingqing's side, and tilted his head slightly.
"That's a good boy." Bai Qingqing bent down to pick up Wukong, turned to look at Niu Shanming and the other two, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you busy for so long."
"Sir, please don't say that. I also enjoy fussing over these things myself," Luo Xingran quickly said.
"Come in and rest for a while," Bai Qingqing warmly invited. "It's getting late, why don't you have dinner here later?"
"Thank you for your kindness, sir." Niu Shanming cupped his hands and said, "However, I have already informed the old sect leader that I will be taking Old Man Luo to visit him, so I will not disturb you any longer."
Yan Xi's "innate talent" theory just now really hit him hard.
He thought that his current purple spiritual root was already top-tier.
They were quite pleased with themselves for a while.
I never expected that Wukong would be able to advance to the golden spiritual root so soon.
Before he could even be shocked, he discovered that the golden spiritual root was in their mouths, and it also seemed to be... trash.
After listening to all this, he felt like an ant.
This feeling of inferiority must never be borne alone!
Old Man Bai's spiritual root is of a lower grade; I'll go to him for some comfort later.
Bai Qingqing didn't insist on keeping them, but instead took out three small boxes: "Thank you for your help. These are the Swiftness Pills I refined myself, and I'm giving them to you."
Luo Xingran's eyes widened immediately.
A box made of top-grade spirit stones? What kind of elixir would be worthy of it?
Actually, this was a solution that Bai Qingqing came up with.
After all, directly "paying wages" seems rather impersonal, and it's also a bit inappropriate for parents and grandparents.
More importantly, everyone's "salary" is different, so giving it directly would only create awkwardness.
It's better this way.
This way, the spirit stones can be given away smoothly without violating the "salary schedule".
Bai Qingqing gave herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.
Niu Shanming respectfully accepted it and said with a smile, "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you, sir. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. We'll take our leave now."
"Wait a minute," Luo Xingran said hurriedly, "I have something else to give to you, sir."
As he spoke, he took out the Xuanwu egg, but he didn't dare to say it was a Xuanwu directly. He only said, "This is a spirit pet egg. Please don't find it offensive, sir."
"A gift for me?" Bai Qingqing happily accepted it. "Thank you, Mr. Luo. May I ask what kind of spirit pet this is?"
"It was a chance encounter, I'm not entirely sure about it either." Luo Xingran shook her head and said, "Why don't you try it out, sir?"
This Xuanwu egg was obtained by chance from a relic by an elder of the Luo family. It has been nearly 10,000 years and there has been no movement from it.
If it weren't for the constant fluctuations of divine power inside the egg, he would have thought it was a dead egg.
"Okay." Bai Qingqing nodded, wondering to herself, "Judging from the size and shape of this egg, could it be that I'll raise a 'Bai Suzhen' in the future?"
Seeing Bai Qingqing accept the Xuanwu egg, Niu Shanming said again, "Sir, please continue with your work. We'll take our leave."
"You're welcome to come visit whenever you have free time," Bai Qingqing said with a smile as she saw Niu Shanming and his two companions to the door.
Today was quite a busy day.
but……
Looking at the vibrant little courtyard, Bai Qingqing felt that the air smelled sweeter.
"Master, dinner is ready." Tian Susu, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen and called out in a cheerful voice.
This apron was made by Bai Qingqing last night from that piece of black silk.
It was very simple; without Niu Hupo's help, she threaded the needle and finished it herself in no time.
I just remembered that I gave it to Tian Susu.
This made Tian Susu extremely happy.
Tonight's dinner consisted entirely of new dishes prepared according to recipes, including several that even Wukong had never tried before.
There was even a plate of fresh flower cakes.
"Excellent, very good." Bai Qingqing praised without reservation.
"I'm glad Master likes it." Upon hearing this, Tian Susu's little face flushed with excitement.
After dinner, Bai Qingqing placed the pet egg in the study.
Then he made some spirit stone boxes, put a fresh flower cake in each box, and took Wukong to Yuexi and Bai Wenyuan's courtyard.
Not long after Bai Qingqing left, the courtyard became lively again.
However, before the excitement began, Yan Xi sealed off this space, so that even the Bull Demon King and Tian Susu in the courtyard could not sense it.
“I never expected that after that great battle, the old tortoise would end up in this world. No wonder we couldn’t find him anywhere,” Ling Yuan said first.
"Back then, it was injured and on the verge of death. Ling'er and I poured Nirvana power into its body to help it be reborn. We should have been able to find it by following the aura of Nirvana very quickly, but after all these years, we haven't found a trace of it. It turns out it ended up here." Huo Qing continued.
"It's good that it's found now. Staying by its master's side, it won't be long before it recovers. I just wonder where its other companions are now." The Fire Spirit flapped its wings and said, "I miss them."
"Don't worry, Master will definitely find them all," Yan Xi said firmly. "I believe we will be reunited soon."
"Yes." The others nodded firmly.
Just then, a tiny dot of light floated quickly in from outside the courtyard gate, its mouth choked with sobs as it spoke: "Sister Tao, Brother Teng, Sister Ling, Brother Qing, sob sob sob..."
