Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 219 Mustard Seed and Mount Sumeru?

Lu Qiaoge was stunned for a moment.

Wow, there are so many!
The old tortoise can count, that must be true.

So, the original number of boxes turned into eleven boxes?
Just then, the big pike and the old turtle swam back.

The pike found that its speed and agility were better than before.

So it popped its big head out of the water, and Lu Qiao just saw that it was carrying something in its mouth.

Lu Qiaoge took it. It was a little shiny, but there was some dirt and rust on it, so it was hard to tell what it was for a moment.

The big carp said, "[Sparkling, this is sparkling, it's from one of the boxes.]"

Lu Qiaoge rinsed it in water. At first, she thought it was a silver coin, but after washing it clean, she found that it was a silver ingot, about the size of a small biscuit. Because it had been a long time, the full shape of the silver ingot could not be seen, but it was actually a silver ingot shaped like a cake.

This silver coin is not an antique; it's from modern times.

Lu Qiaoge emptied the contents of the canvas bag, hung it around the turtle's neck, and said, "Go and pick up the scattered pieces and put them here."

Although the big pike was old, it still had the mind of a child, happily spinning around.

Okay, okay, we promise we'll get them all back. Just you wait, little fairy.

The old tortoise was quite composed, while Little Green Bean stared longingly at Lu Qiaoge.

Lu Qiaoge realized, "Oh right, I have to cheer you guys on."

Lu Qiaoge channeled energy into each of them one by one. It was actually very simple; she just placed her palm on their foreheads.

Lu Qiaoge could sense a strange connection between it and the small animals under its care.

And the same goes for these small animals.

They store this energy in their bodies.

According to the old tortoise, if animals like them were to cultivate, there were no set rules; they could simply follow the natural flow of spiritual energy.

As for attaining immortality or cultivating oneself into a human, those are just stories made up by humans.

Whatever species it is, that's what it is.

But it's true that they can be made smarter, more agile, and live longer.

So what more could you possibly want?

Isn't this what humanity ultimately seeks?
Lu Qiaoge waited leisurely on the shore.

Two hours later, the sun had already set behind the mountain peak.

It is said that one should stay home when there is a red sky at dawn, and travel far when there is a red sky at dusk.

The magnificent sunset painted the western peaks with a blush of color, making it look like a fairyland.

The old tortoise, who had returned, suddenly asked Lu Qiaoge: "Little fairy, do you know about the Mustard Seed Mount Sumeru?"

Lu Qiaoge was stunned for a moment.

Of course she knows.

It means that a very small space can hold a very large amount of things.

Before she traveled here, she was already the commander-in-chief of Base 3.

Because she is a ninth-tier, three-elemental ability user.

One of her superpowers is spatial manipulation. The space she creates when she reaches the ninth level is vast, so vast that Lu Qiaoge felt that if she told the old tortoise, even if he thought she was a fairy, he would think she was bragging.

Unfortunately, the space didn't come along.

If only she had her own space, she could keep these intelligent little animals in it.

In that case, it wouldn't matter if the water in Hongxing Lake dried up.

She also lost her other wood-type ability, but it's possible that the wood-type ability transformed into an affinity for small animals.

Another factor is speed.

This one followed, but it's actually only at the first-order state.

As for power...

Lu Qiaoge was stronger than the average girl.

It could be due to family genetics.

Old Lu is also very strong. Lu Zhiguo can easily lift a sack weighing over 200 pounds with one hand.

Why did Lu Zhiguo join the transport team, and why were several people unable to get rid of him?

It's because he's strong.

Actually, this is not surprising or exaggerated. There are many strongmen among ordinary people, and there are even strongman competitions every year.

Then, due to the added energy, her power naturally increased exponentially.

Carrying over a thousand pounds on my back is easy.

Of course, she's a girl, so she needs to be mindful of her image.

I have no interest in anything other than carrying gold.

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "I saw it mentioned in storybooks, and there are even things like hidden spaces or treasure bowls."

Old Turtle: [Yes, although the names are different, the meaning is similar. I heard from the old Taoist that this thing exists, but it has a spirit and usually doesn't appear in the world. Little fairy, you can look for it. If you can find it, you'll have a place to put all your gold and silver treasures.]

Even better, if we can release living creatures, we can benefit from their presence.

The old tortoise didn't think it was being far-fetched, because it was facing little fairies with whom it could communicate.

The old Taoist claimed to have been cultivating since childhood, but he couldn't communicate with me. He even thought I couldn't understand human language and cursed me as an old, stupid turtle who should be stewed into soup after he died.

Lu Qiaoge smiled: "Okay, I will definitely look for it carefully."

The old turtle turned around and happily went into the water, quickly swimming towards the big pike.

This is the last trip.

The old turtle, who had returned with the giant pike, told Lu Qiaoge, "We've searched everywhere we can think of; it's probably gone."

I checked the time and it was already past five o'clock.

Lu Qiaoge came prepared today.

She also put an iron bucket and a net in her bag. Lu Qiaoge had taken the pole off the net and simply tied it with a tree branch. Actually, she didn't need the animals' help, but they just liked to help. She didn't know how they did it, but schools of fish and shrimp frantically came towards Lu Qiaoge's feet.

It was like falling into a fishpond.

Lu Qiaoge easily scooped a whole bucket of fish and shrimp from the reeds in just a few minutes.

There were also several large crucian carp among them.

Then the silver coins that were retrieved amounted to exactly 120.

The shoulder bag definitely wouldn't be enough, so Lu Qiaoge put it in the canvas bag she had brought.

Fortunately, all these small silver coins together weigh less than fifty pounds.

With a bucket of fish and shrimp added, the bicycle tires have no problem bearing weight.

Lu Qiaoge touched each of them again, and as usual, told them to be careful. After watching them swim to the depths of the lake, Lu Qiaoge picked up her bag and rode her bicycle home.

Lu Qiaoge's handbag was wet, so after washing it clean, she simply put it all in her tote bag.

When I got home, Mengxia had already returned from buying tofu and was busy in the kitchen.

Lu Qiaoge casually put the things down in the yard and asked Meng Xia, "Mom, do you need my help?"

Meng Xia said, "No need, you should rest. By the way, what have you been doing?"

Lu Qiaoge took out a stone: "I went fishing and picked up a few stones along the way."

Meng Xia then noticed the bucket of fish and shrimp that Lu Qiaoge had placed in the yard.

Turning around, they searched everywhere for the tabby cat. When they couldn't find it, they happily said, "Your cat isn't home. We'll keep half of this fish and send the other half to your fourth uncle's house."

Lu Qiaoge agreed.

He carried the bag into the bedroom, wrapped the cleaned silver coins, and placed them in the wardrobe.

The Lu family doesn't have a habit of rummaging through things.

From Old Mrs. Lu to Xiao Si, it was the same.

Meng Xia didn't help them clean the house; she cleaned her own room herself.

Therefore, Lu Qiaoge was very relieved.
