The medicinal fruit has a strong fragrance, and it smells sour and sweet, making people swallow their saliva unconsciously. The fruit is shaped like an egg, but the color is red and purple. It looks bright and dripping. It feels like the most delicate velvet.
Average, smooth and comfortable.
He Yunshen was surprised, "What kind of fruit is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
"Pith-washing fruit." Zhufeng replied. This fruit is very common in Xuanmen, but here, there are only these two.
"This fruit can help you two form elixirs, ease your tendons and cleanse your marrow, and strengthen your body. After you eat it, there will be very obvious changes in your body." He added.
He Yunshen smelled the fruit, and his mouth watered with greed. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he bit into it and ate it.
The fruit is very crisp. When he takes a bite, his mouth is full of sweet juice. The juice is bright red and his lips and teeth are full of sweetness. And as he takes a bite, the sweetness of the fruit spreads and permeates the entire yard, including the pungent fertilizer.
The smell was also covered up.
Chang Sui's head was a little dizzy, and he stared blankly at the fruit in He Yunshen's hand. He opened his mouth and almost wanted to bite it. He shook his head hurriedly, but his eyes were uncontrollable, and he kept swallowing saliva.
He Yunshen himself also ate so much that he forgot about his surroundings. This was a taste he had never tasted before. It was fresh, crispy and sweet, and his mouth was filled with juice after one bite, so that he almost finished it in two bites.
Not enjoyable.
After He Yunshen finished eating, his eyes were fixed on the fruit in Si Wenzhi's hand. He thought to himself, this is his uncle's, it can also be regarded as his, why should it be wasted by this guy? So he stretched out his hand to grab it.
Si Wenzhi smiled and ducked, took a provocative bite, and tasted it carefully, "The juice is sweet and the meat is fragrant, delicate and refreshing, it must be the best in the world."
He Yunshen snorted angrily and asked Zhufeng in a childlike manner: "Why should you give it to him? Is he related to you?" I am still your nephew.
Zhufeng smiled helplessly and said: "Too much is too much, your body can only withstand the power of this fruit at most. If you take any more, you will explode and die."
He Yunshen's face froze, he groaned and turned away to see Qingyu busy at work.
Si Wenzhi also finished the fruit quickly. The two handed the fruit core to Zhufeng, who then placed the fruit core on the manure fertilizer. Soon, the pungent smell of the fertilizer was gone, and they were full.
The yard was filled with the fragrance of fruits and flowers, and countless butterflies, birds, and bees came from all directions.
It was obviously summer, but He Yunshen and Si Wenzhi saw that it was full of spring, especially since the breeze was blowing slowly in the yard, not to mention how comfortable it was.
It is no exaggeration to say that the inside and outside of the courtyard are like heaven and earth.
Qingyu reminded the two of them: "You can go to the lotus pond and meditate under the willow tree to refine the medicinal power of the pith-washing fruit, and your cultivation level will greatly increase. There are futons hanging on the trees."
He Yunshen and Si Wenzhi also had this intention, because they already felt that there was a force of energy in their bodies that was rushing randomly. This force needed to be pulled and refined by Shange's inner strength and mental method, and finally formed into their own energy.
He Yunshen glanced at Si Wenzhi and ran away first, hoping to get a good position. Si Wenzhi shook his head with a smile and followed slowly.
...
In the afternoon, Zhufeng planted two sun-dried medicinal seeds. There was a lot of manure fertilizer. He spread it all over the vegetable garden. The fertility was amazing. The vegetables that had just been planted sprouted directly.
"At this rate, I can eat home-grown vegetables in half a month." Zhufeng felt very accomplished.

Time span, June 15th, the Guanwang Meeting, which all the people of Yinzhou have been looking forward to, finally came.
Just after midnight, Yinzhou City woke up. Even the city gates were opened early, and countless people watching the excitement from all directions poured into the city.
From the gate of the city, there are lights and colorful decorations everywhere. Merchants and vendors of all kinds have set up stalls and sheds from the gate of the city, with colorful fans, carvings, gold and silver jewelry, rouge, lanterns, pens, ink and paper.
Inkstones, food, drinks, all kinds of things are available.
On the road, lion dancers, jugglers, singers and dancers, and various people praying for blessings gathered together. Children laughed and jumped around these people, and adults also cheered and applauded.
Starting from the gate of the city, it was crowded. But, it doesn't matter, it's lively, isn't it the joy of being crowded with people?
...
Jiuquli, because there are fewer residents, is a little less lively than other places, but the four families living here try their best to create a lively atmosphere.
Zhufeng and Shi'an stood on the bench and hung two large lanterns on the left and right of the door. Hongtao and Xu Lan hung small lanterns along the outer wall. These lanterns were only as big as the mouth of a bowl and had various shapes.
They come in all colors and look like hydrangeas from a distance, very beautiful.
The Li Sheng family and Liu Yuan family across the door, as well as the newly arrived Feng Long family, were also hanging lanterns. The four families started chatting.
"... If in Jiuquli, even the rich could not buy it in the past, but now there are only four of our families, when will the place be filled with people?" Liu Yuan's wife said with emotion.
Li Sheng's wife continued: "I heard from Qian Laoer that the house price here has returned to 300 taels. After a while, the house price will definitely rise back. There should be a lot of people coming recently."
Li Sheng's wife asked the newly arrived Feng Long's wife, "Your house should be cheap, right?"
Feng Long's wife smiled and said, "It's cheaper than before."
Liu Yuan's daughter-in-law said to Li Sheng's daughter-in-law with some envy: "We made a loss on the purchase. There were rumors just after we bought this place, and the house price plummeted. If someone else buys it later, it will be cheaper than one or two hundred taels."
Li Sheng's wife also agreed very much. She glanced at Qingyu's family and indicated with her eyes. She had inquired with Qian Laoer and found out that this family's house was the cheapest, saving a full three hundred taels compared to the original price.
Not to mention that timing is important. If you are discerning, you can buy it when the house is haunted. You will not get a huge bargain.
"Boss Zhu, why is your wife missing?" Li Sheng's wife asked Zhu Feng.
"She is busy in the courtyard." Zhufeng said with a smile.
"We are going shopping later, and I would like to ask her if she can go with us?"
Zhufeng smiled and nodded: "Go, go, I'll tell her when I get back soon, when will you set off?"
Li Sheng's wife glanced at Liu Yuan's wife, "When will you finish cleaning up?"
"There are still colored lanterns hanging in my yard, it will probably take more than half an hour."
Zhufeng responded, "We can do it at any time. Just call her after you finish packing."
"Boss Zhu is going with us. We heads are also going. You men are playing with yours, and we women are playing with ours. It doesn't matter." Li Sheng's wife invited again.
Zhufeng didn't refuse and said hello with a smile.
After tidying up inside and out, Zhufeng and Wen Ya changed their clothes and waited for the call from the opposite door.
"Are you going?" Zhufeng asked Shi'an, Hongtao and others.
Hong Tao shook her head: "I don't like what you adults are doing. I'm still a child now."
Zhufeng smiled angrily and looked at Shi'an again, who also shook his head. The head junior sister was not finished yet, not to mention that Yunshen and Si Wenzhi were still practicing. They had not stopped since noon yesterday until now.
It was at a critical juncture for the elixir to be formed, so he could still check it if he stayed.
Zhufeng didn't dissuade him, "Then I'll go with your senior sister. We are all neighbors, so we have to blend in with them."
After saying that, he heard Li Sheng's wife calling at the door. Zhufeng stood up, said a few words about safety, and went out with Wen Ya.
