Chapter 1242
Chapter 1242
On this day, it was already late in the morning. Xiao Hua and the other three sat cross-legged, looking at each other. No one dared to speak. Everyone's eyes were filled with anxiety, but … no one could do anything!
Suddenly, a red light flashed, and a Communication Talisman fell from the sky and landed in front of Xiao Xianrui.
"Master …"
"A message from Sect Master?" Xiao Hua jumped up and looked at the Communication Talisman in front of Xiao Xianrui excitedly.
Although no one knew the contents of the Communication Talisman, it meant that Xiao Yuehong … was fine. How could they not be happy?
"Aiyo, Father is injured!"
When Xiao Xianrui picked up the Communication Talisman, she crushed the light and heard Xiao Yuehong's voice. Her expression changed greatly.
"Where did he come from?
How is his injury? "Gong Mingwei asked quickly.
"Father didn't say the specific injury. He only said that he would be back soon and asked us to hold on for a while!" Xiao Xianrui's expression was uncertain.
"Hold on for a while?" Zhang Qingxiao was a little stunned. "Master … he didn't just receive the Communication Talisman, did he?"
"Let's go. Let's go to the depths of Yellow Flower Ridge. Maybe we can meet Master!" Gong Mingwei made a prompt decision. He threw out a flying talisman and flew up first.
When Xiao Hua was about to leave, he heard Gong Mingwei say, "Xiao Hua, don't go. You just stay here and guard. If there is any movement, immediately send a message to us!"
With that, Xiao Xianrui threw down a Communication Talisman.
"Yes, Little Brother understands!"
Xiao Hua took the flying talisman and put it in his arms. He watched the three of them fly into the depths of Yellow Flower Ridge. The direction was exactly where Xiao Yuehong went.
After the three of them disappeared, Xiao Hua sat down cross-legged and focused his attention on the space behind his head. Inside the space, the small medicinal field that was arranged by the puppet was growing luxuriantly at this moment. The light ball in the space was still constantly rotating, and the radiance that was constantly sprinkled evenly on the various spiritual grasses in the medicinal field.
It was just as Xiao Hua thought. In the thirty days, the spiritual herbs in the space had been more than thirty years old.
Although Xiao Hua had never seen a real thirty-year-old spiritual herb, during the three years he had been in Songhua Underworld, he had taken care of the medicinal field while doing some chores. In his free time, he had also read some ancient books in Songhua Underworld Sect.
Shang Huaming's records were divided into two types. One was a jade slip made of jade and other materials. It was specialized in recording large amounts of information. Furthermore, Shang Huaming's unique restrictions could be placed on the jade slip to prevent the disciples of other sects from spying on it. This kind of jade slip could only be read by those with divine sense, and divine sense was a divine ability that only late stage Qi Refining disciples could possess!
The books that Xiao Hua was looking at were of the second type. They were similar to the books that were commonly seen in the secular world. However, some of them were recorded on paper, while others were recorded on special silk.
Cultivators were different from the people of the secular world. Not only were their lifespans long, their inheritances were even longer. Some of the inheritances were recorded using special silk and special brushes and inks in order to be preserved generation after generation.
From Shang Huaming's records, Xiao Hua had learned a lot of spiritual herb planting and basic alchemy techniques. Unfortunately, in Cherishing Flower Peak's medicinal field, the oldest one was an absorption fruit that was more than ten years old. He had never seen one that was more than twenty years old. As for alchemy, Xiao Hua's cultivation was only at the first stage of the Qi Refining realm. Those alchemy techniques were all rote memorization, and he didn't even have the slightest chance to put them into practice.
Compared to Shang Huaming's records, Xiao Hua looked at the top of the one foot tall, dark green, bamboo-like spiritual herb in the space. There was a thumb-sized fruit that was so red that it had already turned purple. He couldn't help but be delighted. This was precisely the appearance of an absorption fruit that was more than thirty years old.
The absorption fruit grew at the top of the absorption grass. When the absorption grass was ten years old, it would grow into an absorption fruit. At that time, the absorption fruit would be the size of a bean and green.
After the absorption grass grew into an absorption fruit, it would no longer change. It would only absorb the essence of the world's origin energy and send it to the absorption fruit at the top.
As it grew, the absorption fruit would gradually grow bigger, and its eyes would also gradually turn red. A twenty year old absorption fruit should be the size of a thumb and pure red. Only after another ten years of growth would this absorption fruit turn purple.
And the purple absorption fruit was precisely the main ingredient for refining the Peiyuan Pill!
After looking at the main absorption fruit, Xiao Hua looked at the other spiritual herbs. They also had the same appearance of being thirty years old.
Even the Parasol Peak Grass and Blood Devouring Grass used to refine the Parasol Celestial Pill, these ordinary spiritual herbs that were usually only used for a few years, were now terrifyingly old!
"Hehe, if Sect Master saw this, wouldn't he be so shocked that his jaw would drop?"
Xiao Hua was somewhat proud of himself. "If a thirty year old spiritual herb was used to refine the Parasol Celestial Pill, then its efficacy … how astonishing would it be?
The next time Senior Martial Brother and Senior Martial Sister go to Yi City, I'm afraid that they will really be snatched away by someone! "
The corners of Xiao Hua's mouth revealed a smile. He couldn't help but think of these things that were both funny and exciting.
Unfortunately, it had only been thirty days, and there still wasn't any movement in the area of the Exquisite Grass. The seeds of the Exquisite Grass hadn't sprouted. However, Xiao Hua's heart was also calm. He already had a thirty year old absorption fruit, so how could he not have a three hundred year old Exquisite Grass?
The cultivation period was long, and although he was still in the first layer of the Aura Refining realm, he could still wait for a year.
"Oh, right, I have to put the puppet back in the medicinal field. If Sect Master suddenly went to the medicinal field, it would be hard to explain!"
Looking at the puppet standing beside the medicinal field in high spirits, Xiao Hua suddenly came to a realization. "Also, Sect Master told me to use the puppet sparingly, afraid that he didn't have enough spirit stones. I've never been stingy!"
As Xiao Hua thought this, he flew to Xi Hua Peak. When he took the puppet out of the space, he opened the mechanism behind it and took out the spirit stone. Xiao Hua couldn't help but frown.
It wasn't because the spirit stone had been used up too much, but rather … the spirit stone looked the same as the one he had just put in. It didn't turn white or dim because it had been used for several tens of days.
"That's strange. I remember that when I used it three years ago, I had to give it a Spirit Stone every hundred days. The Sect Master gave me the puppet and the Spirit Stones this time, so he probably took them back when the Spirit Stones were used up.
But why does the spirit stone look like it hasn't been used at all? "
Xiao Hua's eyes turned and widened. "This … the light of the cube, it can't be that it can also replenish the spirit stone in the puppet!
My goodness, if that's the case, wouldn't the puppet consume even more of the cube's light if it's inside the space? "
Xiao Hua didn't know when the cube's light would be used up, so he wanted to shine all of the light on the spiritual plants to reduce unnecessary wastage. "Okay, I'll leave the puppet here first. After a while, when Sect Master is refining the Peiyuan Pill, I'll send it back to the space. The light of this space is really amazing, it's really like a sun!
I'm afraid I'll need more spiritual plants in the future, so there's no harm in expanding the medicinal field! "
With a whoosh, a Summoning Talisman flew over. "Xiao Hua, quickly come to Min Si Peak!"
It was Xiao Xianrui's voice transmission.
"Sect Master is back!"
Xiao Hua's face was overjoyed. He threw the puppet on the ground and was about to fly up, but after thinking for a moment, he took out a dozen or so purple absorption fruits from the space and put them in a jade bottle from his room. Only then did he fly up and go straight to Min Si Peak.
When he arrived at Min Si Peak, in front of Shang Huaming's main hall, he saw a beam of light flying over from not far away. Xiao Hua went to meet it. It was Xiao Yuehong's boat-shaped magic tool.
Seeing Xiao Yuehong standing upright on the flying boat, Xiao Hua's heart warmed slightly. When he looked carefully, he saw that Xiao Yuehong's face was deathly pale, and the Daoist robe he was wearing wasn't the same one he wore when he went out. Presumably, he encountered some danger in the depths of Yellow Flower Ridge. His Daoist robe … was also torn.
When the flying boat approached and landed on Min Si Peak, Xiao Hua took a few steps forward and bowed. "Greetings, Sect Master."
Xiao Yuehong was just about to raise his hand when Xiao Xianrui jumped down from the flying boat and reached out to support him. Xiao Yuehong smiled wryly. "Little Rui, Father was only slightly injured. There's no need for this, right?"
Then he turned to Xiao Hua and said, "It's fine. Don't worry!"
"As long as Sect Master is fine, that's good!" When Xiao Hua saw this, he felt a great sense of relief.
Xiao Xianrui helped Xiao Yuehong off the flying boat. After Gong Mingwei and Zhang Qingxiao came down, Gong Mingwei pointed a finger at the flying boat, causing it to rapidly shrink and fall into his hand. Only then did he hand it back to Xiao Yuehong.
"Aiyo, even Eldest Senior Brother is in charge of the flying boat. Sect Master's injuries aren't light!" Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat.
Following which, everyone entered Shang Huaming's main hall. This was a huge hall. At the head of the hall was the Sect Master's seat. Below him were many seats on the left and right. They were all for the Elders, Protectors, and disciples.
At this time, Shang Huaming only had five people. When they walked into the main hall, it was really spacious. Therefore, Xiao Yuehong rarely let them come here.
However, although Xiao Yuehong's face was pale today, his spirit seemed to be very good. He was actually happy to bring everyone to the main hall.
Xiao Yuehong walked to the seat of honor in the middle and sat down. Gong Mingwei and the other two also sat down on Xiao Yuehong's left side. Xiao Yuehong looked at Xiao Hua who was standing and waved his hand. He pointed to a seat on his right and said with a smile, "Xiao Hua … you also sit!"
"Sect Master, this disciple doesn't dare!"
Xiao Hua hurriedly bowed and shook his head. "This is the seat of an official disciple of Shang Huaming. This disciple hasn't cultivated to the third layer of Qi Refining, so this seat can't be taken!"
"Haha, sit. If Master says you can sit, then you can sit!" Xiao Yuehong laughed.
"This …" Xiao Hua thought for a moment and still shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master. Let's wait for a while."
"Haha, you child!"
Xiao Yuehong seemed to like Xiao Hua's serious temperament very much. He waved his hand and said, "Then come to Master's side!"
"Yes!" Xiao Hua accepted the order and walked to Xiao Yuehong's side.
"It seems you want to take the Peiyuan Pill immediately. Your cultivation will definitely improve by another level!" Xiao Yuehong said with a smile.
"This disciple doesn't dare!" Xiao Yuehong's words were correct, but Xiao Hua only smiled and bowed.
"Daddy … you picked an absorbing fruit?" Xiao Xianrui asked in surprise.
"Cough, cough ~" Xiao Yuehong coughed for a while, then his face flushed red. He patted his hand and took out several jade bottles from his storage bag. From one of the jade bottles, he poured out a purple absorbing fruit the size of half a thumb. He smiled and said, "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you. I only got a few!
It's a pity … it's not old enough, but it can still be used! "
