If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 839 A wonderful rejuvenation
Gou Jiao brought Taoist priest Luobo back to Gou's home in Pingxiang in the morning. In the evening, they fell into a small cave and returned to Gou's home that night.

However, he returned to the city too late and the county town was closed. He rested in a farm outside for a night and waited for Taoist Radish all night.

Early the next morning, his wife Zhao and housekeeper Zhang Bo hurried out of the city to look for him.

They were both surprised to see him in person.

Because of Gou Jiao, he changed from a thin and dark man to the "Julu Zidu" of three years ago, a pretty boy with a powdered face.

Gou Jiao didn't explain much, but broke the fairy apricot given by Madam Danhua into two halves and let Zhang Bo and his wife eat it.

Afterwards, he took a group of servants and searched for Taoist Priest Luobo near the county town.

After searching for a whole day, he didn't find anyone and returned home feeling lost.

In the days that followed, except for taking a few days off to visit relatives, old friends and teachers, he stayed at home reading.

Today was no exception. After lunch, he took a short nap and then studied hard in the study.

Read Confucian classics and also read the books of sages from other schools of thought.

Different from his past when he "enjoyed reading without seeking to understand deeply", this time he read very carefully and seriously.

Not only do I read books, but I also write reading notes after reading them.

"Husband, Taoist Radish is back~~"

Before the evening, Zhao looked both happy and nervous as she entered the room and brought Gou Jiao a piece of good news that surprised him.

She knew that her husband was always thinking about the Taoist Priest Luobo who disappeared inexplicably.

But she was also worried that Taoist Radish would come back and take her husband away again, and never come back.

"Oh, where is Taoist Luobo?" Gou Jiao was purely happy and anxious. He put down the book and rushed out.

When I came to the living room, I saw the little Taoist priest Luobo.

"Master~~" His eyes were red and he almost shed tears, "I thought I would never see you again."

"Alas, this farewell almost became a farewell forever."

Xiaoyu put down the tea bowl, looked him up and down, feeling mixed emotions.

"Mrs. Zhao, bring your son Tianmen here. Although I am back this time, I cannot stay in Pingxiang County for long."

Zhao glanced at her husband before quickly leaving the living room and going to the backyard to look for her son.

"But what happened?" Gou Jiao asked worriedly.

"You met Madam Danhua that day, right?" Xiaoyu said.

Gou Jiao was surprised and asked, "The Taoist priest has also entered the small cave?"

At this point, he suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! One day in the cave is like one year in the human world.

The Immortal Mother Danhua invited the Taoist priest to have a meal, and it has been more than half a month in the human world! "

Although his automatic imagination helped her save a lot of saliva and time, Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, shook his head and denied it: "I did go to Xiaoyoudongtian, but I was delayed for more than half a month and did not enjoy the food of Xiaoyoudongtian. Well, I did eat a lot of Xiaoyoudongtian's fairy fruit.

Over the past month or so, I had an accident and met a mortal enemy.

It was a life-and-death struggle, and I almost lost my life."

She fooled her acquaintance today, but when they meet again 20 years later, how would she face her acquaintance who might know the truth?
It’s better to be honest now with reservations.

She and he were not master and disciple in name, but they were master and disciple in reality.

Fate will not end after we separate today, and it may not even be just the fate of this life, just like the dog meat Taoist priest.

Lying for the sake of momentary convenience is stupid and short-sighted.

Gou Jiao looked her up and down and asked, "Master, did you encounter any enemies? Are you injured? How is your current situation?"

Just as Xiaoyu was about to speak, Zhao had already carried Gou Tianmen over.

"Tianmen pays homage to the Taoist priest!"

The children still remember Taoist Priest Radish. When they meet him, they perform great courtesy without being taught by anyone.

This time Xiao Yu accepted it calmly, then picked him up and said, "Uncle Zhang, prepare the stove, pottery jars and other utensils for boiling medicine, and prepare as many clean porcelain bowls as possible with clean water in them.

If you have an alchemy furnace or similar device, bring it along as well.

Move all the things to the backyard, and drive out the maids and servants in the backyard."

Zhang Bo was puzzled, but did not ask any further questions.

Xiaoyu held Gou Tianmen and found a clean and empty warehouse in the backyard.

Using the Five Elements Moving Technique, he moved a bamboo couch from next door for cooling off, and placed Gou Tianmen on it.

"I have found the big black dog that bit off Tianmen's left leg that day."

While Zhang Bo was dismissing the servants and preparing the tools, Xiao Yu said to the confused couple, "It was originally just an ordinary black dog. Fortunately, it swallowed Tianmen's immortal bone and immediately became a saint, turning into a goblin."

"What kind of bone is the sacral bone?" Zhao was a little confused.

Gou Jiao was shocked and very happy, but his happiness turned into worry in an instant, "How come Tianmen's immortal bone happened to grow on the foot? Now it's been eaten by a wild dog, what should I do?"

"This is what the fairy bone is."

Xiaoyu spread out her right hand, and a crystal clear bone stick with a glass texture appeared in her palm.

Zhao and Gou Jiao are a couple who are related by blood to Gou Tianmen. When they saw the small bone, they immediately felt familiar and close, and guessed that it was the small bone of their son's left leg.

"Oh, my poor son, he had a good leg, but only these bones are left?!" Zhao's eyes were filled with tears.

Gou Jiao was also very sad, but he put aside his worries a little and asked, "Master, this is the only bone left. Is it possible to reattach it?"

"You can try it."

Xiaoyu stuck his head out and glanced at the yard outside.

Zhang Bo is a warrior with great strength and quick movements. He has already moved a lot of things.

I actually found a rusty bronze alchemy furnace.

She stretched out her right hand and made a grasping motion towards the five-foot-tall bronze furnace.

"Swoosh~~" The copper furnace weighing thousands of pounds flew lightly to the eaves and landed silently.

"Tianmen, lie down and don't move." After instructing Gou Tianmen, she walked outside the house, took a broom, cleaned the copper furnace inside and out, and then put Gou Tianmen's immortal bone in it.

"Uncle Zhang, light a fire! Light up the charcoal furnace and the alchemy furnace."

Uncle Zhang asked, "Just use the firewood to make a fire?"

"Well, you light the fire first, I have my own magic trick." Xiaoyu said confidently.

"Why do we need to burn the immortal bones?" Gou Jiao asked puzzledly.

Xiao Yu said: “After the wild dog swallowed Tianmen’s left leg, it quickly discovered the benefits of the immortal bone and directly integrated it into its body, becoming its immortal bone.

An ordinary dog ​​was transformed from then on. It only took a few days for the black dog to become intelligent and possess magical powers.

When I saw it, it was already at the level of an ordinary demon general.

For other fairies to reach its level, even if they have good talents, they would have to accumulate at least two hundred years of practice. But after it transformed, it should have practiced for less than half a year.

Less than half a year is equivalent to more than 200 years of hard training for others."

At this point, Xiao Yu couldn't help showing a complex expression of envy and regret, "It is worthy of being the legendary immortal bone, so powerful. No wonder there is a saying in the cultivation world that 'without immortal bones, there is no immortal'."

Gou Jiao was very sharp-minded. After a little thought, he was surprised and said, "So, the immortal bone of Tianmen has been contaminated by the demon blood and demonic energy of the demon? So it needs to be calcined to remove the evil spirit?"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly and sighed, “Although Tianmen was born with immortal bones, he himself has never used them.

The first time it was activated was on a fairy.

Not only is it contaminated with the evil essence of the demon, it has almost turned into the demon's inner elixir.

With the help of the immortal bone, the dog demon's efficiency in absorbing and utilizing the spiritual power of heaven and earth has increased hundreds of times.

The spiritual power absorbed by the dog demon converted into demonic power, and nurtured the immortal bones, turning them into demon bones.

By the time I killed the dog demon, the area around the celestial bone was already connected to the eight extraordinary meridians, like the dog demon's second heart."

"My son's immortal bones have almost become the demon bones of a dog demon. Can they still be reconnected?" Zhao said worriedly.

Xiao Yu said: "It will definitely not work if you stuff it directly into the flesh. If even a little bit of demonic power seeps out of the immortal bone, it will turn him into a half-demon.

When I use the alchemy furnace to refine all the evil power in the immortal bone, perhaps I can extract some of the essence of the immortal bone.

To some extent, we can recover some of the losses.”

While they were talking, Uncle Zhang had already skillfully lit the alchemy furnace and the charcoal furnace.

"Uncle Zhang, please prepare a few more charcoal stoves. Gou Sheng, Madam Zhao, you can also help to light the fire."

The Gou family's bronze alchemy furnace should be an ancestral heirloom, with deep traces of time.

Perhaps some of his ancestors also pursued the path to immortality and tried to make elixirs.

The quality of the alchemy furnace is very low, but it has all the necessary structures.

The three legs below form the three elements of heaven, earth and man.

There is a large stove in the lower abdomen, and the upper abdomen is where the herbs are placed, with a layer of "steaming grid" between the upper and lower abdomen.

The basic structure is a bit like an alcohol hot pot, with fire at the bottom and soup boiling at the top.

However, the steaming grid inside the furnace has a mechanism with eight small doors that can be closed and opened, corresponding to the eight trigrams, and can also adjust the size of the fire.

The "lid" on the top of the furnace is also ingenious, with sixteen air vents that can be closed or opened.

Xiaoyu tapped the copper furnace lightly, and the steaming doors of the "Li Palace" and "Kan Wei" areas opened.

The fire enters from Li and Kan, and the steam comes out from the pot lid "Xun Di".

“Boom boom boom~~”

The fire immediately became violent, like the fire in a blacksmith's shop.

Moreover, there were several lit charcoal stoves in the yard, and wisps of flames floated out from the tops. The flames stretched into a line of fire and poured into the bronze furnace, making the flames more intense.

Zhang Bo was a warrior. Standing in the yard six or seven meters away, he could still feel the burning pain of being roasted.

And this was not over yet, as "Taoist Radish" took out a milky white jade slip with his left hand. While he was groping with his hand, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and at the same time, he clenched his right fist and hit his nose hard.

"Bang, bang!" After two hits, a few drops of bright red sprayed out of his nostrils.

But it was not blood, but scarlet sparks.

Then she opened her mouth and spit out a red and green fire dragon into the furnace.

The red fire dragon and the green fire dragon entered the alchemy furnace and merged with the yellow flame of the burning charcoal fire, turning into an even more violent force.

But at this moment, the people around could no longer feel the heat, but only felt that the furnace had become extremely terrifying.

The thick bronze wall of the alchemy furnace seemed to be melting, changing from a solid state to a gel, and slightly changing its shape.

"Gou Sheng, go into the room and hold his mouth. Don't let him struggle. Madam Zhao, take a wet cloth and stuff it into his mouth." As soon as Xiao Yu opened her mouth, the fire in her mouth stopped.

The couple immediately ran into the house and did as Xiaoyu said.

Xiao Yu stood in the corridor, and flicked his finger across the wall. A sword energy like a sharp scalpel directly cut off the deformed scar on Gou Tianmen's left leg.

It's like cutting off the moldy surface of Jinhua ham, revealing the good red meat inside.

"Woooooo~~~"

Gou Tianmen's eyeballs bulged out, his face turned pale and twisted in pain, beads of sweat instantly covered his face.

It looked so pitiful that Zhao almost cried.

"Swish, swish, swish~~~" The wound was bleeding wildly.

"Don't get excited, and don't move around!"

Xiao Yu shouted loudly, causing the frightened Gou Jiao and Zhao, who was about to howl, to stiffen and stop moving.

"Bang!" Xiaoyu slapped the alchemy furnace again, and the lid flew seven or eight meters away and fell heavily in the corner of the courtyard.

"Swoosh~~~" A ball of colorful light as big as a fist flew out from the belly of the copper furnace.

It was like a spiritual bird trying to avoid Xiaoyu and quickly fly into the sky.

Xiaoyu showed a look of surprise, stretched out his hand and grabbed it.

Then she walked quickly into the house, put her palm against the top of Gou Tianmen's sweaty head, and poured the pure Yang immortal energy directly into his body, transforming into streams of rich "vital energy" and a small amount of "longevity substance".

As the vital energy flowed through Gou Tianmen's body, granulation tissue, blue meridians, pink blood vessels, and white bones grew at the broken part of his left leg at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ah~~~" When Gou Jiao and Zhao saw this, they couldn't help but shout in shock and joy.

This magical scene was very familiar and skillful to Xiaoyu.

Last year, she had not yet eaten the peaches and her realm was not so high, but she still used the "immortal pill" made from a peach core to repair all of Wang Sangouzi's remaining limbs.

At that time, Wang Sangou was swallowed into the crop of the dragon, and the Tongtian Rat King directly tore off a "chicken thigh" and ate it, and all five of his limbs were dissolved.

The situation was so dire that it was even more terrible than what was happening at Gou Tianmen at that moment.

Knowing this case, Xiaoqiang had vowed earlier that he was the reincarnation of the "dog meat Taoist priest" and that missing a leg was not a retribution at all.

Last year, Xiaoyu borrowed the magical power and immortality substance from the "Peach Core Pill".

Now she has purer and richer immortal energy and immortal substances in her body.

Helping Gou Tianmen grow a left leg was easy, but it was not a loss for her.

Indeed, she consumed a lot of immortal essence for Gou Tianmen's leg. But she looted "a mountain" of spiritual medicine from Madam Danhua and Daze Dragon Palace.

I ate too much and couldn’t digest it anymore. I can’t even hold the world in my sleeves.

She took it out and gave it to the distinguished guests of Dragon Palace, but there was still most of it left, which she sealed in the Dragon Palace treasury.

What she lacks the least now is the source of immortal energy. No matter how much she consumes now, she can go back and eat a few immortal fruits to replenish it immediately.
