I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 247 Other Abilities
“You weren’t home for the New Year, so your grandpa stopped cooking and buying groceries. Even when I cooked for him, he wasn’t willing to eat. The old man is practically an immortal.”

Except for Yu Qingge and Su Changhe, who stayed in the small wooden house on the roof of Sanqing Temple, everyone else followed Xiao Qi down the mountain.

As Meng Shulan walked, she told Xiao Qi about her grandfather's current situation, which made Xiao Qi's nose tingle with emotion.

She misses her grandfather very much.

To her left was Meng Shulan, and to her right, Xiaolong was right next to her, clinging tightly to her clothes. Lin Qingquan stared at his little paws for a few seconds, really wanting to pick him up and throw him into the Dragon Pool.

He hadn't even had a chance to say a word to his daughter when she came back, and now this little thing had taken up his spot.

"Xiao Qi."

Upon receiving the news, Wei Xiaole and Dongfang Shuo ran up the mountain, panting, and bumped into the group halfway up.

"Xiao Qi?"

The two looked up in a daze at the girl in front of them, who had a high ponytail, wore a white, ancient-style waist-cinching outfit, and looked heroic and dashing. For a moment, they could hardly recognize her.

Is this the same tomboy who was in their group before?

It's only been half a year since we last met, and both his height and appearance have changed a lot.

He's grown taller, his features have matured, and even his overall demeanor has changed; he looks completely different from six months ago.

"Xiao Le, Dongfang."

Xiao Qi greeted the two of them as usual, and winked at them, asking, "Did you miss me?"

Wei Xiaole laughed immediately, "What do you think?"

Dongfang Shuo remained silent. He looked at Xiao Qi's bright features and fair skin, and felt his heart skip a few beats. He quickly looked away.

This was quite a sight. He pointed to the ring of bags hanging from her waist and asked, "What's with this outfit? Did you go over there to become an Eight-Bag Elder?"

Xiao Qi rolled her eyes. "You're so ignorant. These are all storage bags. They're filled with local specialties I brought for you. I was originally planning to give you one after I finished giving you everything, but now..."

"Wow, Sister Qi, you look so cool! So stylish! Is it heavy? Do you need me to help you?"

Storage bags! These are things you can't buy no matter how much money you have. I've always envied Xiaoqi's storage ring, and I never thought I'd have one myself. Even though it's a bag and not a ring, it's still a rare treat, isn't it?

Dongfang Shuo instantly turned into a sycophant, praising Xiao Qi to the best of his ability and wishing he could take all the bags off her and carry them for her.

No, I can carry her on my back.

"Don't push over here, there's no room left."

Before Dongfang Shuo could get closer, Xiaolong used one hand to push him away, saying disdainfully, "Go outside."

Xiao Long is now eight years old. His true form is a very long white dragon, but when he turns into a child, he is just a six or seven-year-old kid with snow-white skin and two horns on his head. He looks cute and has no offensive power whatsoever.

This is obviously an illusion. Otherwise, try touching its horn. It will immediately fling you up and throw you into the air.

The little thing only behaves well in front of Xiao Qi and her master and daughter; it completely ignores everyone else.

Having been thrown away once before, Dongfang Shuo learned his lesson and kept his distance from him. Xiao Qi looked down at Xiao Long, reached out and patted his head, clearly reluctant to let him go.

They greeted each other as they walked down the path, and spirit fruits were handed out along the way. Each of them held one in their hand, and smelling the special fruity aroma, even the two grown men, Lin Qingquan and Zhang Jinwu, couldn't help but crunch on them.

"Well, keep the pits. We'll see if we can grow them down the mountain later."

As the highest-ranking commander in the area, Zhang Jinwu has not only trained troops and guarded Sanqing Mountain over the years, but also led people to plant a lot of vegetables at the foot of the mountain. The places on the mountain that were originally destroyed by demons have been gradually cleaned up and tidied up, and pine trees have been planted.

He deserves much credit for the fact that Sanqingshan Mountain has been able to regain its former lush and verdant appearance.

Besides the vegetable garden, he also led people to cultivate a large open space at the foot of the mountain, intending to plant fruit trees. Unfortunately, many of the trees planted over the years died, and few survived.

I've consulted experts, but it's been useless. I don't know why vegetables can survive, but fruit trees can't.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi turned her head and glanced in the direction of the orchard, rubbing her right thumb and forefinger together.

Having absorbed the cultivation of that peach tree demon, she felt as if she should possess some other abilities. Such abilities were stirring within the small tree in her dantian, as if just waiting for her to unleash them.

There were several dead peach trees in the orchard. It was early March, the season when peach trees should be sprouting and growing, but those trees were already dead, and naturally bare without any sign of life.

Xiao Qi stopped, and Meng Shulan, holding her hand, also stopped and turned to ask, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I think Uncle Zhang's idea is good. Keep these fruit pits; maybe they can actually be used to grow plants."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jinwu grinned happily, "Our Xiao Qi really knows how to talk! Unlike these two brats, look at how their mouths turned up when I mentioned wanting fruit pits! Don't eat them when I grow them!"

Don't eat it yet, you should focus on getting the plant to grow first.

Wei Xiaole and Dongfang Shuo complained inwardly, but didn't dare to say it aloud.

The group tactfully saw Xiao Qi and her family off from their lodging and then stopped, not wanting to disrupt their family reunion, and said they would talk later.

In the past six months, several groups of people from the Meng family have moved to Qingshui Town, including Xiaoqi's grandfather, Meng Jiujiang.

With Xiao Qi gone, the old man seemed listless and listless, so he eventually moved here from Yunmeng Village.

Meng Yanxu wanted to cultivate with Meng Shulan, so Meng Shubing simply bought a small courtyard in town. When the farm work in Yunmeng Village wasn't busy, the couple would come over to keep their son company.

The brothers Meng Yanping and Meng Yanliang didn't have much affection for their biological father, Meng Shulei, but they were very close to Meng Jiu and Meng Shulan. Both of them planned to give their houses in the city to their sons, so they also bought houses in Qingshui Town and moved here.

Meng Zichen and his son had arrived long ago and had made a name for themselves in the town selling braised food. People from all around came to buy their products, and they were often out of stock.

"grandfather?"

Knowing that Meng Jiu had come here, Xiao Qi couldn't walk steadily on the road. She disappeared in a flash, and her shouts echoed from a farmhouse in Qingshui Town, three miles away.

Lin Qingquan stared wide-eyed in surprise.

When he first saw his daughter on the mountain, he could clearly sense that her cultivation had greatly increased, but he couldn't tell exactly how much. Now, her familiar teleportation technique, which could travel three miles at a time, was clearly not her limit, but he would have to use it at least five times to cover that distance.

Six months ago, she would have needed to use it five times.

So after going to the cultivation world, her cultivation level increased not just a little, but a lot.
