Gu Qingsong raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw a ray of golden light passing over the top of the spiritual tree like a flying swallow. The next moment, there was a girl wearing a golden pink dress with a hundred butterflies and flowers on the low branches.
The girl has bright eyes, white teeth, and a snow-white complexion, and her brows are full of energy. At this moment, she is extending her hand to greet Gu Qingsong not far under the tree, with an undisguised clear smile on her face.
"Uncle Xiaozu, long time no see."
As the girl spoke, she scanned the medicine garden, and then continued without waiting for Gu Qingsong's answer:
"This medicine garden is taken care of by Uncle Xiaozu as well as ever.
By the way, I happened to encounter a secret realm during my trip and dug up a lot of elixirs. Although they were not of high grade, they looked familiar to me. They might be elixirs that my family did not have.
Uncle Xiaozu, take a look."
The girl said, jumping down from the branch, the corners of her skirt turned slightly under the resistance, and a pair of red and white feet landed on the ground.
Gu Qingsong quickly turned his head.
When he turned around again, the girl had already brought out a lot of elixirs.
"This black one was found on a thousand-year-old ice sheet, this red one was found at the bottom of a lake, and this yellow one was found in a bird's nest;
By the way, there are also these things that look like elixir seeds, which were found in the belly of a monster beast."
The colorful elixirs on the table immediately caught Gu Qingsong's attention.
Although they are just some elixirs that are still young plants,
He was very careful to identify the elixirs one by one, with a focused expression and a light in his eyes. From time to time, he would raise his head and say something to the girl with a look of surprise.
After about half an hour, Gu Qingsong turned his attention away from those elixirs. He smiled sheepishly, took out the tea set, spiritual spring water and other things, and said:
"You have been traveling for a long time, and now you are back. Before I could congratulate you on your safe return and your progress in cultivation, I congratulated you with tea instead of wine."
The girl raised her eyebrows when she heard this, raised her head and said:
"Uncle Xiaozu, you must have remembered that there is a living person like me in front of you."
Hearing this, Gu Qingsong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
It was indeed his fault. Hao Dai came back from a trip and came to see him without telling him. She also brought him many spiritual plants as gifts. However, he focused on the spiritual medicine and ignored the gift giver.
.
Thinking like this, Gu Qingsong was filled with apologies. Just when he was about to stand up, the girl opposite suddenly laughed.
"Okay, okay, uncle Xiaozu, sit down and have a good time!
I was joking."
The girl sitting opposite him, Gu Haodai from the Gu family, said something strange.
Seeing this, Gu Qingsong hesitated and thought for a while, but did not stand up.
She looked at the kettle on the table where the aroma of tea was slowly overflowing, and across from Gu Qingsong who was a little dazed as he swallowed the lukewarm tea, and sighed slightly:
"Let's just drink tea. Who told us uncles from a small clan to be born to drink half the cup!"
This time, Gu Qingsong didn't feel any awkwardness.
Being unable to drink spiritual wine is not a matter of character. He didn't care at all about the fact that he poured half of the glass.
not at all.
Gu Qingsong thought like this, and the spiritual spring water in the teapot started to boil.
Then, Gu Haodai watched Gu Qingsong slowly pick up the small teapot and make tea.
After a while, Gu Qingsong handed a cup of spiritual tea to Gu Haodai with both hands. He thought about it and said again:
"Congratulations to Hao Dai for advancing to the fifth floor of the Purple Mansion."
Gu Haodai picked up the tea and said:
"Congratulations to Uncle Xiao Clan for advancing to the eighth floor of the Purple Mansion."
As the two of them talked, they touched the two teacups lightly and drank the tea completely.
“After traveling for nearly 20 years, I’m finally back!
Well, I must sleep in tomorrow and sleep for a few days and nights."
Gu Haodai put down her tea cup and looked at the familiar surroundings. The atmosphere around her became much more relaxed.
Seeing her like this, Gu Qingsong asked:
"Isn't it good to rest outside?"
Gu Haodai nodded pitifully and said:
"It's not just that I didn't have a good rest. I have been in Haijin for nearly ten years and I haven't had any real rest at all. Later, I traveled to various places. Although I didn't plunge into those remote places, I still encountered many difficulties and dangers;
One time, while I was flying well in the desert, I was slapped in the face by a fourth-level mid-level sandworm. If I hadn't been protected by a magic weapon, I would have been turned into a pulp.
Another time, in the snowy mountains in the north, I accidentally broke the seal of a cold air in the earth veins, and the cold air in the earth veins spurted out, freezing me to death;
Fortunately, fortunately, I reacted fairly quickly and protected my internal organs and meridians, otherwise I would have turned into an ice sculpture."
As Gu Haodai spoke, she couldn't help but feel sad. Then she hugged her arms and rubbed them, obviously feeling lingering fear.
Gu Qingsong listened, imagined what kind of scene it was, and then kept silent and thought, if it were him, he might just die. Hao Dai is indeed a monk with a metallic spiritual root, and his life is as hard as his spiritual root.
"But it's finally a blessing in disguise. Over the years, my traveling skills have improved a lot, and my true essence has become more solid. I think that in the future, I won't need to refine the true essence path to advance to the golden elixir."
Gu Haodai continued.
Hearing this, Gu Qingzhong suggested in a low voice:
"Actually, you still need to temper your true energy."
Their Tianlinggen cultivators practice too fast. If they do not temper their true energy from time to time, their foundation will easily become unstable. Especially the Tianlinggen cultivators of the Gu family live on the sixth level of spiritual veins. When their cultivation level is still low, they practice almost every day.
They are all making great progress, which is completely beyond the reach of ordinary monks.
Gu Haodai nodded,
"I know, it's just an analogy.
By the way, Uncle Xiaozu, are you really not going to travel for a few years?
It’s very exciting outside, there are all kinds of fun things, especially at the casual cultivator markets in some places, there are also all kinds of weird elixirs.”
Gu Qingsong hugged his small tea cup and shook his head.
He doesn't like the thrill of the thin line between life and death that Gu Haodai mentioned, and...
"I can't leave my medicine garden behind."
Gu Haodai showed a "sure enough" expression.
Okay, okay, she knows how much Uncle Xiao Clan loves his family, so he won't go out unless he goes out. Anyway, with the strength of the Gu family, there is no need to force a wood-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator to do anything.
At this moment, a chubby fox with blue eyes suddenly walked out of the bamboo hut slowly.
It swung its tail leisurely, with a certain smell of meat on its lips, and its eyes were narrowed in contentment. It was obvious that it had just woken up and had a good meal before going out for a walk.
However, this leisure and comfort disappeared the moment he saw Gu Haodai.
The fox froze up, then started to run towards the bamboo hut. However, as soon as he took two or three steps, the surrounding scenery became still.
The fox turned his head sadly and saw Gu Haodai as expected.
