Feeling the surging vitality in his body, Cao Xiu couldn't help but feel happy.
He looked at the handful of spring water at the bottom of the pool, as if he was seeing the most precious treasure in the world.
The loss of yang energy in his body had reached such a serious level before that just a drop of water could restore him to his original state, even stronger than his original body. How could this not make him happy?
And he could feel that although the changes in his body had disappeared, the power of the drop of water of life had not been exhausted, and there was still a lot of vigorous vitality integrated into his flesh and bones and settling down.
These will turn into his potential, enhance his foundation, and even possibly improve his qualifications.
It's just that his current cultivation level is shallow and his knowledge is not very broad. He doesn't even know this magical spiritual water. Of course, he doesn't know exactly how far he has improved.
But what can be expected is that the speed of cultivation in the future will be much stronger than before, at least until the life force in the body is exhausted.
After a long while, Cao Xiu suppressed the joy in his heart and looked at the handful of spring water with bright eyes.
"Since this water is useful to people and beneficial to animals, what about other things?"
He looked at a small tree not far away.
The tree was only about two feet tall, but its branches were gnarled, like a cold pine that had grown for thousands of years on a cliff in a deep mountain. Its whole body exuded a sense of vigor and power.
But the few dozen leaves on the branches were withered and yellow, and they were weakly rooted in the cracks of the rocks, looking like they might die in a few years.
Cao Xiu was curious, so he put a drop of spring water at the root of the strange tree, and slowly seeped into the soil.
He squatted next to the tree and looked at it for a long time, but he still couldn't find any obvious changes in the tree, and he was immediately disappointed.
Could it be said that this spring water is only useful to living creatures?
Don’t plants and trees belong to living creatures?
Although he felt extremely sorry for wasting a drop of spiritual water like this, there was nothing he could do about it.
Seeing that it was getting late, Cao Xiu did not stay in the space any longer. He jumped out of the space and returned to the outside.
I looked at the sun and saw that it was almost noon.
And the goat he brought back yesterday actually put its front hooves on the wall and raised its neck to eat the hanging branches and leaves of the locust tree.
Looking at the energetic goat, Cao Xiu chuckled.
Now that he knew that the spring water in the cave was so magical, he naturally would not waste it at will.
After all, there was only so much spring water in total, and it simply couldn't withstand consumption. Besides, he couldn't herd sheep at home. He didn't have the energy, and he wasn't willing to step on sheep shit every day when he went out.
Therefore, we can only stew it once and for all in one pot!
Not only can he satisfy his appetite, he can also try to recover his losses, and at the same time, Chen Shi can also get some benefits.
He had a good relationship with Chen Shi, but it was impossible for him to tell him about getting the treasure map of Cave.
It's not a question of trust or distrust, but just in case.
A secret is a secret because no one else knows it!
Once someone knows it, it can no longer be a secret.
What's more, the human heart is the most untested. He would not take out the spiritual water and give it to Chen Shi directly. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain the origin of this thing. He would rather treat him to a meal of stew nourished by the spiritual water.
Go for the mutton!
However, just when Cao Xiu was about to sharpen his sword, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
The voice was very rude, as if he was banging on the door. It was definitely not Chen Shi!
"Who?"
Cao Xiu frowned.
Ever since their family moved here, they have never encountered such a scene.
"Open the door, it's me, Cao Bao!"
An impatient voice came from outside.
Huh? Is it him?
Upon hearing this name, Cao Xiu was slightly startled.
This is one of his cousins.
It's just that the other party is a direct descendant of the Cao family, and some look down upon them as a side branch. In addition, Cao Xiu followed his mother and left the Cao family a few years ago. He has not been in contact with them in the past few years since he came to Jiangzhou City. Why did he come to visit him now?
Come?
Cao Xiu was a little puzzled.
But he still got up and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was a young man in brocade clothes. He looked to be in his mid-twenties. He had a decent appearance, but there was a bit of impatience on his face.
Although they hadn't seen each other for several years, Cao Xiu had grown up in the Cao family for more than ten years, so he naturally could not admit his mistake and recognized the other person at a glance as his cousin Cao Bao.
There were two people following behind him, one was obviously the boy beside him, and the other was a middle-aged man named Kong Wuli with a sword on his waist. It seemed that he should be a guard of the Cao family!
"Why so slow?"
Cao Bao complained with some dissatisfaction, and then without waiting for Cao Xiu to give in, he opened another door and walked into the courtyard.
He glanced at the ruined courtyard and the simple furnishings in the courtyard, and finally focused on the goat that was eating leaves, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
In his opinion, it was obvious that Cao Xiu, mother and son were not living well off, and they had actually fallen to the point of raising sheep in the yard, no different from those mud-legged people in the countryside.
"What are you here for?"
Cao Xiu looked at the other party and asked in a bad tone.
"Humph, if the old man hadn't asked me to come to you, you would have thought that I would come willingly!"
Cao Bao muttered dissatisfiedly: "Okay, don't talk nonsense. Where is your brother? Quickly call him out to clean up and come back with me?"
"Go back? Go back to where?"
"Of course you're going back to my Cao family!"
Cao Bao's tone revealed a bit of arrogance: "The old man knows that you are not doing well now, so he asked me to take you back to the family!"
"No need!"
Cao Xiu shook his head lightly: "We already agreed at the beginning that now that we have separated, my family has nothing to do with the Cao family in Qiaocheng."
"What did you say?"
Cao Bao was stunned.
He couldn't figure it out. Cao Xiu's family was already living such a hard life. He thought that when the other party heard that the family was willing to take them back, they should be ecstatic. How could they refuse?
How dare you refuse?
You must know that the Cao family in Qiaocheng is very prosperous now, with no shortage of power, fame, wealth and status. Especially after Cao Long, the direct genius of this generation, joined the Daluo Sect, the largest sect in Yunzhou, the family has flourished in recent years.
Now that the family is willing to accept these two collateral descendants who are living abroad, it doesn't matter if the other party is not grateful, but they are still unwilling!
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Of course I know what I'm talking about!"
Cao Xiu waved his hand impatiently and said directly: "Okay, if there is nothing else, you can leave!"
"you……"
Cao Bao was furious: "Okay, since you are willing to suffer here, it is up to you!"
After that, he sleeved his robe for a while, turned around and left!
"snort!"
Cao Xiu looked at their leaving figures and couldn't help but snorted in his heart.
Take them back to the family?
He didn't believe that those old guys in the main line had such good intentions. Maybe they were secretly harboring something evil!
