Chapter 047
I never expected... the spicy food in this small world...
Looking at the small and cute red fruit shaped like a lantern in his hand, Cheng Hui felt mixed emotions.
I never expected... that the chili peppers in this small world would have such a unique effect.
Yes, this thumb-sized lantern fruit is the "chili pepper" of this world, or you can call it spicy seasoning.
Anyway, it's the kind of thing that you can buy two or three pounds of for one or two taels of silver in any grocery store.
The reason why the bowl of noodles he just ate could increase his cultivation was because the red oil poured on the noodles was extracted from this kind of chili pepper, and this chili pepper fruit has another name in the world of cultivation - Fire Snake Fruit.
It is a very good fire-type spiritual fruit.
This kind of spiritual fruit wasn't all that common in the world of cultivation, but right now, Cheng Hui had filled a sack with it. The contrast was truly tragic...
Lin Qingqiu was also stunned by this fact. For a moment, he wondered if he or Cheng Hui had fallen into some kind of illusion.
However, it turned out that everything he saw was true, and this world really did use fire snake fruit as a seasoning.
"This doesn't make sense..." Lin Qingqiu looked at the high-quality fire snake fruits and felt that his previous worldview was crumbling.
"What's unreasonable?" Cheng Hui, who knew very little about the world of cultivation, accepted this well.
"The growth of fire snake fruit requires a large amount of spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy in this world is thin. How is it possible for so many fire snake fruits to grow?" Lin Qingqiu was very puzzled.
Cheng Hui didn't care and said cheerfully, "Hey, who cares? Even if it's an unexpected gain, it's still a gain, and it's a good thing."
Lin Qingqiu was speechless. Cheng Hui was right. Anything gained was a good thing. As for why fire snake fruit could grow in this world, that question could be studied again in the future.
"What a pity, there are only so many fire snake fruits in this small town." Cheng Hui still felt a little regretful.
Lin Qingqiu advised, "Too much is as bad as too little. Although the Fire Snake Fruit can increase your cultivation, it is more inclined towards fire-type spiritual power. Taking too much may affect your body."
Cheng Hui agreed. In the world of cultivation, he had a zombie body, which was naturally yin in nature. If he ate too much fire-attributed food, he might get sick.
"Ah!" Xiao Tong called Cheng Hui, indicating that it was time to go.
Cheng Hui nodded in agreement, and then his eyes went dark, and he seemed to fall into a whirlpool, and after a while he was spit out.
After staggering to his feet, Cheng Hui immediately saw the sofa in front of him, pounced on it, and trapped himself in it.
"Ah... so comfortable... this kind of place is indeed more suitable for me." Cheng Hui hugged the furry black cat pillow, feeling so comfortable that he almost moaned and groaned.
Xiao Tong dragged a sofa out of thin air, and the little man pounced on it, posing in the same posture as Cheng Hui.
Two people, one big and one small, were slumped in the sofa, looking completely relaxed.
Cheng Hui looked at Xiao Tong, who looked exactly like him, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Judging from Xiaotong's appearance, there will definitely be people who believe that they are father and son.
When Xiaotong heard his laughter, he raised his head from the sofa with great effort, and a question mark appeared on his head.
"It's okay." Cheng Hui felt that if he told the truth, Xiao Tong might get angry.
Xiao Tong looked at Cheng Hui in confusion, laughing uncontrollably, the corners of his mouth twitching. Never mind, the host's nerves have been like this for a long time, he is used to it.
"Aqiu?" Cheng Hui suddenly remembered the person in his mind and asked.
No response.
He sat up straight and asked several more times, but still no answer. It was as if Qiu had never existed.
Cheng Hui panicked for a moment, but quickly recovered. In fact, it was a good thing that Qiu left him. After all, not everyone could get used to having another person's voice in their head.
It’s just that we had been fighting side by side before, and now he’s suddenly gone, and I feel a little melancholy for a while.
Fortunately, Cheng Hui's greatest strength is that he is open-minded, commonly known as having a big heart. He soon put that melancholy behind him.
"Ah!" Xiao Tong waved to him, Cheng Hui came over, and Xiao Tong took out a handful of star sand from his pocket.
"Is this my reward this time?" Cheng Hui took the star sand, but the star sand did not fall into his hands, but floated away and merged into his body.
When all the star sand disappeared, he smacked his lips, as if... he felt nothing?
So what is the use of this thing?
He looked at Xiao Tong, who puffed up his cheeks and gestured to indicate that the Merit Star Sand had many functions, but his current strength was too weak, so he could not use most of the functions. He only had the most basic strengthening functions.
"So... now I can only use star sand to strengthen myself?" he asked.
Xiaotong nodded.
Cheng Hui: ...emmm, okay, it’s not a disadvantage anyway.
After dealing with these matters, he returned his consciousness to his body.
Lin Qingyang had already finished refining before he traveled through time, and he still didn't know what the condition of his body was.
The slightly curled eyelashes moved, and the eyes that slowly opened revealed a pair of eyes as bright as stars.
Cheng Hui moved his body and felt that it was still so stiff, but at least he didn't make the mistake of taking a step forward while trying to raise his hand.
The right side of my body felt a little numb, especially my arm felt hot, and there was a slight breathing sound on the side of my face.
Cheng Hui: ...Confirmed, this little brat must have slept with his arms around me.
He tried to pull his arm free, but Lin Qingyang pulled it back forcefully and held it in his arms as soon as he moved.
Cheng Hui: ...
Having failed to escape, he could only lie in bed and carefully feel the changes in his body.
In addition to his previous body stiffness, his cultivation level has also increased, which is in sync with the world he traveled to.
The sensitivity of his body increased, and the detection area of his spiritual consciousness also expanded. Lying on the bed, he could take in half of the Thirteen Peaks.
He knew everything that happened on the mountain.
Um?
Cheng Hui's mind moved, and he focused his spiritual consciousness on the place where the servants lived.
When he just glanced past, he seemed to hear Lin Qingyang's name.
At this time, two young women were arguing in the servants' room.
"Are you crazy?" the woman in the light yellow dress cursed through gritted teeth. "Who is Lin Qingyang? He's Elder Wuyouzi's last disciple. How dare you plot against him?"
"Don't say such harsh words!" The woman in the green dress said rudely, "What plot? I just felt sorry for the child and wanted to help him find a way out."
"You're just kidding!" the woman in the yellow skirt said angrily, "What kind of magic potion did Xu Lanxing feed you? How dare you agree to such a treasonous thing?"
"What's so treasonous about that... Isn't it just changing a master?" The woman in green dress couldn't hide her guilt in her tone.
The woman in the yellow skirt sneered, "Change Master? If it's really that good, why don't you go? Don't you know what that person's reputation is? Besides, Elder Wuyouzi is the master of Thirteen Peaks. How can that old man compare to him?"
"Oh! I can't explain it to you clearly! Let me tell you..." The woman in the green dress looked around and lowered her voice, "Don't you know, didn't Elder Wuyouzi go out a while ago? I heard... he had an accident outside."
The woman in the yellow skirt's expression suddenly changed: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"It's true. Senior Brother Xu told me. He said that the Xuanshi Sect is really finished this time. From now on, the Puppet Sect will have the final say in the Corpse Puppet Sect."
"How dare you say such things? I think you have lost your mind!" the woman in the yellow skirt scolded.
"You..." The woman in the green dress was angry, then sneered: "Don't be shameless, I just want to help you because we are from the same hometown."
"No need! Don't think I don't know you just want to take advantage of my identity!"
Seeing that the woman in the yellow skirt was refusing to listen to her words, the woman in the green skirt said angrily, "If you don't accept my toast, you will have to drink the penalty wine." After saying that, she made a hand gesture.
The woman in the yellow dress was caught off guard and suddenly froze. She asked in panic, "What did you do to me?"
"Oh, what Senior Brother Xu said is indeed right. You are really not a good woman. Thanks to Senior Brother Xu for giving me the puppet talisman, you have to do this whether you want to or not!"
The woman in the yellow skirt wanted to resist, but was restrained by the woman in the green skirt. Soon her eyes became blank and she became a puppet controlled by someone.
The woman in green dress was afraid that others would discover the puppet's flaw, so she deliberately spared her life and made her into a living puppet. After all, it would be too late for her to kill Lin Qingyang after she lured him out.
Cheng Hui almost saw this scene with his own eyes and was very annoyed.
What had their Lin Qingyang done to offend anyone? How could someone target him when he was just a little kid hiding in the Thirteen Peaks to practice?
What is most worrying is that he did not expect that the struggle between the Xuanshi Faction and the Puppet Faction within the Corpse Puppet Sect has reached such a fierce level. If Wuyouzi really has an accident, Lin Qingyang will be in danger.
"No, I need to discuss this with someone." Cheng Hui never overestimated his own strength. If it was some small matter of scheming against others, he could still handle it himself, but the matter behind this obviously involved the internal conflicts of the Corpse Puppet Sect, which was not something that a small natal corpse like him could handle.
He decisively woke Lin Qingyang up and told him about this. As soon as Lin Qingyang woke up, he learned that someone was targeting him again, and his face immediately darkened.
"Where is she now?" he asked.
Cheng Hui's spiritual consciousness has been paying attention to the woman in the green skirt. At this time, she is controlling the living puppet of the woman in the yellow skirt and is on the way to the courtyard.
Lin Qingyang thought for a while and said, "This matter is not something we can solve. I will go find my senior brother."
"Okay." Cheng Hui also agreed. Such a serious matter should be handed over to someone taller. With Lin Qingyang's small arms and legs, it's good enough that he can protect himself.
After receiving Lin Qingyang's message, Zhang Yifan immediately rushed to his courtyard.
"Are you telling the truth?" he asked in a serious tone.
Lin Qingyang nodded.
Zhang Yifan didn't ask where Lin Qingyang got the information from. He walked back and forth in the yard a few times and said, "Since you already know, I won't hide it from you. Recently, the puppet sect has been very active. Master has always suspected that they may be colluding with the demonic sect. This time, Master went out to investigate this matter."
When Cheng Hui heard this, he was in trouble. Going out alone to investigate a situation like this was a sure sign of death.
Could it be that Elder Wuyouzi really won’t come back?
"Junior brother, don't worry. Master will be fine. Besides, all the people from the Thirteen Peaks are still alive. If anyone dares to raise a hand towards us, I will chop off his claws!"
Cheng Hui silently gave a thumbs up. This is how a senior brother should behave. Senior Brother Zhang is really domineering!
