Chapter 117 Two-in-One
After Guan Ya left, Fu Le closed the stone door and threw himself onto the rubber mattress to stretch out his limbs.
After this transaction, she will only have a little over 80,000 kiwifruit left, which is enough for her to eat.
Unexpectedly, everything was settled in just half a month. All she had to do was wait for the transaction. She had three and a half months left to cultivate. Since opening her aperture, she had spent very little time cultivating. So far, she could only circulate her internal energy freely. As for the aperture opening getting bigger, that was not the case at all.
He took out the five-hundred-year-old ginseng, cut it into pieces and squeezed out the juice. He then mixed the dregs and juice together and swallowed it in one gulp. He then began to circulate his internal energy. This method was found in that person's book. With the help of medicines that replenish the body's functions, it can increase one's internal energy. The energy of the five-hundred-year-old ginseng is indispensable.
A surge of heat spread from his stomach, descended, passed through his intestines, and entered his dantian. Fu Le clearly sensed the path of the heat source, and his meridians resonated instantly. He felt an indescribable comfort throughout his body and unknowingly became immersed in it.
As time went by, tiny, hair-like silver threads began to spread out from within Fu Le's body, invisible to the naked eye, and the acupoint on Fu Le's forehead began to show signs of loosening.
This training continued day and night. When Fu Le finally woke up from hunger, it was already the third day. The moment he opened his eyes, he could clearly feel that his whole body was full of energy and vitality, as if he had inexhaustible strength.
He took out a pearl the size of a fist, then took out a zippered bag, put the pearl in, and the next second, Fu Le easily crushed the pearl into black powder with his hand.
Fu Le: ...
Even a meat grinder can't outperform her!
Having gotten hooked on crushing them, Fu Le crushed more than ten black pearls in succession, filling his large zipper bag with pearl powder—the fruits of his labor.
"This stuff is amazing!! Why don't I try it on my face?" Without hesitation, Fu Le mixed a small amount of Qiqi juice with black pearl powder and applied it to his face. It felt cool and refreshing, and his skin felt like it was breathing.
"Mmm, that feels good..."
Fu Le spent her days eating, drinking, and cultivating, leading a fulfilling life. She also managed to produce all the medicines she was going to register into finished products, one hundred of each, and bottled them. In addition, she made a whitening pearl rice face cream. As for its effects, you couldn't tell from her thin, dark face at all, because her appearance had been altered by the shuttle and was not real skin at all.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. During these three months, no one came to see her, and there was no bustling crowd at her door as she had imagined. It seemed that everyone had forgotten about her until the last day of the three months.
As if by prior arrangement, all the business representatives appeared at her entrance.
"Miss Fu, it's been a long time."
"Miss Fu, thanks to your Qiqi fruit, it really works wonders..."
"Miss Fu..."
Fu Le's gaze swept over every smiling face, each one brimming with energy and light in their eyes, as if the previous dejection, emptiness, and numbness had never existed.
It seems that the kiwi fruit is really useful to them.
"As long as it's useful."
After exchanging pleasantries, the transaction began. One by one, people took out their own spatial devices, some bracelets, some rings, mostly rings. However, for liquids such as beast blood, beast milk, and honey, they simply used water cups with lids.
For this exchange, Fu Le received another ten tons of ointment, 50 tons of powder, 1,000 tons of dried seafood, 1,000 tons of seafood, 100 tons of pearls, 200 tons of honey, and 100 tons of animal blood.
As soon as Fu Le released the Qiqi Fruit, pairs of eyes were immediately fixed on it. They spontaneously surrounded the mountain of Qiqi Fruit and collected it according to their own quantities. Every business representative had a relaxed expression and a smile in their eyes.
After exchanging supplies, Jiang Ye wanted to invite Fu Le to a meal together, but Fu Le politely declined, as she really didn't like their food.
It was clear that Fu Le really didn't want to go, so no one forced him. After respectfully bidding farewell, Jiang Ye led everyone away on their flying beasts. Guan Ya arrived in the afternoon. Fu Le was in the house brewing medicinal pills when he heard the noise and came out.
At a glance, it was clear that Guan Ya's appearance had undergone an unusual change. His features were no longer sharp but full, his beard was clean-shaven, revealing a handsome and three-dimensional face, and his bright pupils were no longer empty but serene and gentle.
A survivor?
That's the feeling.
"Is it pretty?" Guan Ya asked with a smile.
"Looks good, very handsome." Guan Ya's earlobes turned red unexpectedly when Fu Le was so direct.
"Let's eat something together and try the food in Xingcheng." Fu Le was much more patient with his savior.
"Okay." Guan Ya's slender fingers clenched into a fist, then relaxed, and a small smile appeared on her lips.
Fu Le made a big pot of braised pork, white rice, a plate of stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, a big pot of watermelon, and a big cup of fruit milk tea for each person. The whole room was filled with the delicious smell of food.
"Are these foods that you often eat where you live?" Guan Ya couldn't believe her eyes when she saw such delicious food for the first time. It looked both beautiful and tasty.
Fu Le pushed four large stainless steel bowls, each about 30 inches in size, and said, "Eat up, finish your food, don't waste it!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Once the first bite of cabbage entered her mouth, Guan Ya's chopsticks never stopped moving.
Fu Le ate a small bowl and then barely touched his chopsticks, leaving Guan Ya to finish the meal.
"How much longer are you going to stay here?" After finishing her meal, Guan Ya drank her fruit milk tea and suddenly felt that she had wasted the first twenty-odd years of her life. She couldn't help but envy Fu Le.
"Fifteen days."
"Specifically to the day?" Guan Ya didn't expect it to be so fast. Her eyelashes drooped, concealing her emotions.
"Yes, my family is urging me to."
"Will you come again in the future?" Long, curled eyelashes lifted as the owner lifted her eyelids, making her beautiful eyes appear even more profound.
"I don't know." She had never done a targeted time travel before. Her previous time travels had given her ample supplies, enough to keep her from coming back for at least ten years.
Guan Ya didn't ask any other questions and handed the supplies he had collected to Fu Le, saying, "These supplies should be enough."
Fu Le took the red ring. The touch of it on his fingertips was warm and smooth, completely different from the others' rings, and different from the rings he had given him before. "What material is this? It feels different." It was as if blood had been added to the crystal-clear white jade, creating intricate patterns that were interwoven together, yet seemed to be naturally formed, and it was very beautiful.
Wearing the index finger, Fu Le circulated his internal energy and immediately saw the pile of supplies inside. It was all meat, dried meat, dried seafood, countless colorful pearls, some stones, and some exquisite jewelry, all packed in red wooden boxes.
"The stones inside are all medicinal stones that can repair internal organs. No matter how severe the internal injury is, as long as it has not been separated from the body, the patient can live."
Fu Le: !!!
You're telling me that the mountain of stones you've piled up is a medicine that can bring the dead back to life?!
Guan Ya continued, "Those pieces of jewelry are all ring spaces, but because we need to pay attention to their shape, the internal area is not very large, less than a thousand cubic meters. You'll have to discover the exact amount yourself; I haven't checked them all."
Fu Le: !!!
Ten large boxes of jewelry, all of them are microspaces?! Are you crazy?!
Clutching his chest, Fu Le's heart pounded like a thousand horses galloping, making him unable to stop taking deep breaths.
This unexpected gift is so exciting!
"Are you alright?" Guan Ya asked, leaning closer with a hint of doubt. "Are you feeling unwell? Where does it hurt?"
Looking up and meeting the man's worried brown eyes, Fu Le stood up awkwardly. "It's nothing, it's nothing. It's just that I'm very satisfied with everything you gave me. I'm so happy that my heart is racing."
Guan Ya hadn't expected this reason either, and couldn't help but scoff, "It seems you really like these things. Is it the medicinal stones or the mustard jewelry that makes you happy?"
"Everyone's happy." Fu Le smiled broadly; if the occasion weren't inappropriate, she probably would have laughed so hard her throat would have pierced the air. "That medicine stone, is there any left?"
“We can only make purchases once a quarter. If you want more, you’ll have to wait until the next quarter. I’ll prepare it for you when you come next.” Guan Ya still seemed a little unwilling to give up.
Fu Le fell silent; she couldn't make any promises.
Seeing Fu Le fall silent, Guan Ya's eyes dimmed.
"Do you have children? I have some candy here, it tastes pretty good..."
Fu Le started taking out the candy and chocolate he had bought, two large boxes of each, and in the blink of an eye, there were more than twenty boxes, plus potato chips...
Fu Le took it out, and Guan Ya enthusiastically opened it to taste it, giving a fair evaluation. Sharing snacks was indeed a good way to build rapport. In any case, Guan Ya slept in the stone chamber next door that night.
Guan Ya left the next afternoon. Fu Le sent out another 10,000 Qiqi fruits. After all, those medicinal mountains really touched her heart. She didn't lack anything else, except for life-saving medicine.
After Guan Ya left, Fu Le slept alone until dark. When he opened his eyes, all he saw was the empty cave walls. Suddenly, a strange sense of loneliness rose from his heart. Humans are indeed social animals.
She's a little homesick...
It hadn't been long before she found herself longing for the days when she could laugh and talk with others.
Grotto No. 18.
Guan Ya entered the house with a sullen face. Several children who were playing in the hall immediately surrounded him. "Brother, where did you go? You didn't come back last night. Mother was very worried."
"These are all snacks, have a taste." Guan Ya took out potato chips and a large bag of candy that had been packaged separately.
"Wow, what's this? Candy? Wow... delicious..." The five or six little ones quickly forgot where their eldest brother had gone and ate without even looking up.
"Aya, you're back?" A thin woman walked out of the room.
Seeing her mother's healthy complexion, Guan Ya's eyes warmed. "Yes, I went to a friend's house yesterday. You don't need to worry. I will live a good life."
"Yes, yes, Mom believes you." Patting her son's shoulder, the woman's eyes were filled with vitality, no longer the lifeless look they once had.
only……
"Mom, I'm going to take a nap. Don't call me for dinner."
"Okay." Looking at her son's retreating figure, a hint of heartache appeared in the mother's eyes.
Girls from Xingcheng are not people like them to even dream of. I hope Aya can let go of that idea as soon as possible.
As for her son's feelings, it was because Aya stayed with the foreman making jewelry for ten days without returning home, which prompted the foreman to come and complain. It was through this that she learned that her eldest son had developed feelings for the female merchant from Xingcheng.
She didn't ask, nor dared to ask; some things she needed to figure out herself.
Compared to Guan Ya's torment, Fu Le was immersed in cultivation.
In just a few months, Fu Le had consumed all the ginseng she had collected, and the harvest was quite good. Her forehead acupoint had grown from the size of a sesame seed to the size of a mung bean, and her hair-thin internal energy had become more resilient. She could now circulate it for four weeks instead of two weeks a day. Before, she could crush a pearl by squeezing it, but now she could poke it with her finger and make a big hole with one poke. The texture was even more fragile than tofu.
Having too much strength can also be a problem; she lost control of her strength and ruined dozens of stainless steel basins.
Tsk... Luckily it's a stainless steel basin, not worth much. If it were a spatial artifact, I would be heartbroken. It's precisely because of the increased strength that Fu Le dares not cook for himself anymore and just eats ready-made rice balls.
When Fu Le disappeared from the Land of Oblivion, a haggard young man in a stone house seemed to sense it and shed tears in his sleep.
I opened my eyes, but it was the middle of the night.
Fu Le jumped up, glanced at his watch, and saw it was past 10 p.m.
The half-closed door let Fu Le know that Qi Hua had been there.
Quietly going downstairs, the four big ones all came out of their nest, whimpering and circling around Fu Le's legs.
"Come here, drink your milk." Fu Le, who had slept well, took out four large basins and poured milk for all four of them as an extra treat.
The four large dogs devoured the food in no time, still wanting more.
"Oh dear, I'm so full..." Fu Le chuckled as he patted each dog's head.
I was so lonely when I traveled through time, and every time I come back, I feel like I've been through another world.
After calming the dogs down, Fu Le went to check on his mother, who was sleeping soundly.
The harvest from this trip will last us a very long time.
There are too many spatial artifacts, and it feels wasteful for her to keep them all by herself. However, she is troubled by the lack of an opportunity to give them to the truly patriotic and people-oriented leaders of the country. As for the antiques, she intends to donate most of them, but how to do so without getting herself into trouble is an even bigger problem.
Fu Le returned to her room but couldn't sleep, so she got up to cultivate. The thing she used for cultivation was beast blood, which she drank. Although it was disgusting, the effect was no worse than ginseng. She added more honey, so it wasn't unacceptable.
As night deepened, in Fu Le's room, silver threads shimmered with a soft glow, coiling around Fu Le's body like silkworm silk, lingering for a long time.
As Fu Le boarded the train to the capital, Sun Jian, who had been appointed, had already traveled to the capital a week earlier to make all the necessary preparations.
At this time, Fu Le was unaware that Xiang Haixia had been caught red-handed by the cautious Teacher Lu for trying to tamper with her college application form. Teacher Lu reported the incident to the school, leaving a significant mark on Fu Le's record.
