Chapter 13: Too Unbelievable "I'll tell you when I get back," Wei Mu...
"I'll tell you when I get back." Wei Mubai didn't give her any extra time to worry, he grabbed her and flew away.
The two soon arrived in front of a magnificent garden building. Wei Mubai cast a few spells and then tapped Xu Hui's forehead, "From now on, this will be your residence. I'll live on the left and you on the right. There's a garden, a spiritual field, an alchemy room in the back, and a cave in the back mountain. You can choose any room you like and I'll have someone decorate it."
The two buildings stand side by side, tall and exquisite, with white walls and black tiles, beautiful and majestic. There is no other difference between them except that they are on the left and the right.
This place is introduced in the book. It is the residence of Wei Mubai, the second son of the Wei family. He lives on the left side and his fiancée lives on the right side.
However, Wei Mubai stays in the alchemy room all year round, and after the heroine Zhong Xinyue enters the Wei family, she becomes an inner disciple.
She did not like to show off her specialness and had never told anyone that she was Wei Mubai's fiancée. She always stayed in the residence allocated to the inner sect disciples, moved around with other people, and rarely came back here.
Afterwards, she gradually developed feelings for the male protagonist Mu Yuan during their training, and thought about dissolving the marriage, so she would not come again.
Living here symbolizes the status of the second young master Wei's wife, so she avoids it as much as possible.
It can be said that although the house is still there, the host and hostess have their own residences, which makes this residence, which symbolizes status, look like a snow cave.
Now that Wei Mubai brought her here, the situation has become very clear.
She, Xu Hui, a cannon fodder, actually replaced the heroine and became Wei Mubai's fiancée!
But why? She didn't do anything!
Besides, doesn't she have the physique of a cannon fodder? Back then, she couldn't even snatch a girl who traveled through books, and gave up a body with excellent qualifications in vain.
Xu Hui looked at Wei Mubai again, determined to get an answer.
Wei Mubai walked towards the stone table under the tree, waved his sleeves, and a teapot, tea leaves, and hot water appeared on the table.
Xu Hui walked over and watched him use his spiritual power to temper the tea leaves, boil the hot water, and make the tea with smooth movements. Finally, he placed a cup of fragrant tea in front of him.
She picked it up and took a sip. It was so bitter that she almost vomited bile. It was too bitter. After one sip, her whole soul was sublimated and it hit her head!
"This is enlightenment tea, which will help you improve your understanding," Wei Mubai said.
Xu Hui immediately closed her mouth and swallowed it with great difficulty, then took out the low-level spiritual fruit she had bought and took a big bite.
Unfortunately, this fruit, which usually tastes very sweet, has no effect on the bitterness of the enlightenment tea, and my mouth still feels bitter to the point of numbness.
Her facial features were wrinkled with pain. Wei Mubai seemed to smile and handed her a spiritual fruit.
Xu Hui put it into her mouth without saying a word. The fragrance and sweet taste immediately filled the air, making her feel refreshed instantly.
After she finished one, she still felt it was not enough and reached out to ask for another one.
A smile appeared in Wei Mubai's eyes and he handed over a ring.
Xu Hui checked it out, and wow, they were all spiritual fruits, filling up the entire space ring, ranging from first-level spiritual plants to seventh-level ones, and more than half of them were species she didn't recognize.
That encyclopedia of medicinal plants was definitely a loss. She should have bought the encyclopedia of spiritual fruits and vegetables together. She could have gotten a discount for all three.
But it was too late to say anything now. She carefully picked up the white fruit that Wei Mubai had just given her and ate another one. She felt that the bitterness had disappeared.
I couldn't help but open the system panel and looked at the personal attribute column. My comprehension actually dropped from 29 to a pitiful 30.
Any progress is progress. Low comprehension means poor ability to comprehend the skills, difficulty in enlightenment, and a dim path to immortality.
This is a rare opportunity to improve yourself, so you must seize it no matter what.
Staring at the remaining tea in the cup, she made a decision that went against the norms of a college student and brought trouble upon herself!
He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, picked up the teacup and poured it directly into his mouth. He swallowed it down in a speed faster than the speed of lightning, eating the fruit in one go, as smooth as flowing water.
Looking at the panel again, it’s 32, congratulations!
Her eyes moved to Wei Mubai's hand, eagerly waiting for the next cup.
But those slightly curled lips uttered words that chilled one's heart, "It only works the first time, after that it's just enlightenment. Do you still want to drink it?"
Shake your head, shake your head firmly!
The first rule for college students is that if you can avoid suffering, don’t ask for it!
The smile in Wei Mubai's eyes deepened. He poured himself a cup and drank it without changing his expression. Then, as if he had lost his sense of taste, he drank the whole pot of tea while telling the story, without feeling the bitterness at all.
Xu Hui was astonished and convinced. A big boss is a big boss, and he will endure hardships without any hesitation.
After this interruption, she felt much better and was finally able to chat calmly, instead of refuting Wei Mubai's words in her heart.
After hearing the last part, she suddenly realized, "It's really my fault!"
It was she who attracted Wei Mubai's attention in the cave, allowing him to appear in time to save the heroine Zhong Xinyue.
According to the original development in the book, Zhong Xinyue died, and Zhong Lingyue naturally took over the marriage contract. The Wei family did not have to give the Qianxia Pill to the heroine. The third lady of the Wei family, Wei Muyan, recovered from her illness and began her journey to immortality.
But after Wei Mubai rescued the man, Qianxia Dan was taken away in the name of repaying a favor. The cause and effect between the two families had disappeared, and the marriage naturally no longer existed.
Of course, the spiritual field space cannot be given away!
But Wei Muyan's body has not recovered yet, and she needs a second Qianxia Pill. The Wei family and Wei Mubai spent more than ten years on the previous one. If she tries again, Wei Muyan will miss the best time for cultivation. In the future, her path to immortality will not be cut off, but it will be more difficult than for others.
She is clearly a favored daughter of heaven, but she has to become mediocre. How can the Wei family father and son bear it?
Now, Xu Hui comes in handy.
She can collect herbs perfectly, so that the herbs she collects are properly preserved and their medicinal properties are not lost.
But the problem is that she has very poor talent and is a waste with five spiritual roots. It may take her hundreds of years to build her foundation, and that is even with the help of elixirs.
Many medicinal herbs can only be collected during the Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Elixir Stage, or even the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Wei Muyan can't wait that long!
So Wei Mubai made two preparations. First, he used the Creation Pill and various natural treasures to improve Xu Hui's qualifications. The effect was unexpectedly good. She successfully advanced to the Five Chaos Spiritual Roots. So why not use more medicinal herbs to make the Chaos Spiritual Roots more harmonious and the cultivation speed faster?
Now, Xu Hui's cultivation speed is no less than that of a genius with only one spiritual root. If he works harder, it will not be a problem to build the foundation in three years and achieve the golden elixir in five years.
But this is not enough, far from enough. Wei Muyan is already eleven years old. It would be best to solve this problem before she turns sixteen and becomes an adult.
In this way, the spiritual roots can be stable and will not gradually become mediocre as they grow older due to lack of exercise.
That leaves only four years or so. Even if Xu Hui is talented or works hard, it is difficult to guarantee that he will form the golden elixir within four years.
If she used various rare treasures and elixirs to build up her cultivation instead of practicing on her own, she might be able to succeed.
But the foundation is destroyed!
For Xu Hui, her path to immortality was directly cut short, which was also a huge loss for the Wei family.
She used various rare treasures to improve her qualifications, but in the end she could only reach the Golden Elixir stage. Even if she could collect them perfectly, the benefits she would gain would be limited.
The higher her level of cultivation, the more amazing the value of her ability.
The higher the grade of the medicinal plant, the rarer it is and the more difficult it is to collect.
The medicinal properties of low-grade medicinal plants are lost, and if the quality is not enough, the quantity will make up for it.
This is not the case with high-grade medicinal plants. Most of them are unique and will not grow new ones for tens of millions of years after being picked. Even if some of them are in large quantities and can be collected perfectly, the success rate of making a pill will increase by at least 70% to 80%, which is almost equivalent to ensuring a pill. What a great value!
The Wei family would never do such a ridiculous act of draining the pond to catch all the fish.
But it would be difficult for Xu Hui to advance to the Golden Elixir stage in a short period of time on her own. She couldn't even collect some medicinal herbs for the Golden Elixir stage.
Therefore, Wei Mubai’s second plan was also very simple. He gave her the spiritual field space and let her cultivate those medicinal herbs by herself.
The wild medicinal herbs outside are hard to find and pick, and there are restrictions on cultivation level, but the ones she planted with her own hands in the spiritual field space do not have such restrictions and she can pick them however she wants.
The problem was, Xu Hui couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you think I can grow it?"
Listening to him introduce the characteristics of those medicinal plants, she deeply felt that plants all have their own personalities and are quite unruly.
Spiritual plants are not only difficult to pick, but also difficult to grow. Over the past tens of thousands of years in the entire cultivation continent, cultivators have domesticated only a few thousand kinds of spiritual plants.
But there are more than tens of millions of species in the world. Survival of the fittest. Those plants that can still survive in the wild have their own unique means of survival, and not being domesticated is one of them.
Why do you think she can do something that no one else can do?
Isn't this harder than improving your cultivation? Not only is it a waste of time, but you may not even succeed!
It’s not that Xu Hui refuses to do it, but she thinks it will delay her cultivation time. In her opinion, cultivation and planting are like going to school and learning a talent, and there is no conflict.
What's more, if she could really grow high-quality medicinal plants, it would be like owning a huge treasure house. Why would she go ashore? Wouldn't it be nice to swim in the sea of spiritual stones?
The key is that she doesn't think she can do it! So many monks can't do it, so why can she, Xu Hui, cannon fodder?
But Wei Mubai firmly believed in her, "You can do it!"
Xu Hui: "...There must be a reason, right?"
"Being able to perfectly collect medicinal plants shows that you have a very high affinity with plants and are naturally favored and trusted by them. You plant them, and they will obediently grow according to your requirements."
"My technique is special," Xu Hui explained.
Wei Mubai stretched out his hand, his fingers flying, revealing the hand gestures Xu Hui used to collect purple sparks. "It's very special, it can increase the success rate by 20%."
He said calmly, "But it's impossible to collect it perfectly. Only you can do it!"
Xu Hui: ...
Good guy! She exclaimed, "System, do you still have any secrets? Have you exposed them all to him?"
Xu Hui was sure that what he saw was her practice in the learning space, not the scene during the test, because after becoming proficient, she simplified the fingering. It could not be instant, but it was not that complicated either.
[Horrible human!] The system was so frightened that the CPU was about to burn out, and there was fear in the voice.
Xu Hui couldn't bear to hear this. After all, he was her son. "It's okay, Tong. It seems he's not interested. He didn't even ask for treasures like the Top-Grade Soul-Replenishing Pill or the Top-Grade Rejuvenating Pill."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Wei Mubai said in a deep voice, "So you can also grow medicinal plants with perfect medicinal properties. I guess the top-grade Soul-Replenishing Pill and the top-grade Rejuvenating Pill are made from perfect medicinal plants."
Xu Hui: ...
system【......】
The silence between the two was deafening!
Xu Hui was silent for a while, but finally couldn't help but blurt out, "Who are you?"
Why, even the system couldn't hide from him? Was he really just a Jindan-stage cultivator? Or some immortal who had come down to earth to experience tribulations?
