Chapter 51 Visiting the Seven Star Gate (Part 5)

The bricks cracked and expanded along their grain.

With a pale face, Su Yixuan withdrew her trembling fingertips, and the brick instantly exploded, releasing two peach-shaped babies the size of eggs.

As the name suggests, "Taoying" is related to peach trees.

It refers to the fossilized tumors formed from the accumulation of tumors on the roots of peach trees over thousands of years. It may sound like something unreliable, but it is a treasure that is more valuable than the patina of peach wood.

Li Chao was surprised when he touched the two "eggs". The "eggs" flipped over and revealed two smiling faces.

Startled, he quickly let go: "Junior Uncle, what kind of material is this? I've never seen it before."

Su Yixuan wrapped the peach-shaped baby in talisman paper and put it in her bag: "This is a rare treasure, one in a thousand years. Name your price, and I'll buy it!"

Xiang Kunshan stared at Su Yixuan's empty bag for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Junior Uncle's bag can really hold a lot!"

Su Yixuan patted the bag and said with a smile, "The Sumeru Ring contains a universe within, so I'll call this bag the Universe Bag."

"Hehe, Junior Uncle, you're really joking! A Sumeru Ring is something only mortals like us can possess. I bet you have a space talisman stuck on your backpack, right? I must say, Junior Uncle, your talisman-drawing skills are truly superb; there's absolutely no trace of it."

Su Yixuan:
The truth she told is just that unbelievable!
"Junior Uncle, you found these two materials, which proves that they are destined for you. Take them! I'm not short of money!"

After Li Chao finished speaking, he continued to ponder his Joker cards.

Su Yixuan felt heartbroken, as if she had been looked down upon.

Seeing that Li Chao genuinely didn't care about the two peach babies, Su Yixuan gave him two lucky bags and didn't bother him anymore.

She didn't see the wisp of black energy emanating from Li Chao's brow the moment she turned around.

"Fourth Junior Brother Yu Yongwen is out seeing a doctor and hasn't returned yet. Fifth Junior Brother Tong Wei is also down the mountain handling some matters. You will meet them in the future. Let's go see the puppets made by Sixth Junior Brother now. It just so happens that Junior Sister Yan Haohao isn't far away either. Junior Uncle can also go see the spirit beasts that Yan Haohao is raising."

Xiang Kunshan introduced the scenery along the way.

Leaving the high-rise building and heading south, you pass neatly trimmed greenery and a large water lily pond.

It is summer, and water lilies bloom quietly in the pond. Light lotus leaves spread across the lake, and occasionally a red dragonfly can be seen alighting on the white jade-like lotus petals.

Seeing such a beautiful view was a rare treat, and Su Yixuan's mood became serene.

Walking along the cobblestone path, a verdant bamboo grove comes into view, like an emerald set between heaven and earth. Sunlight filters through the sparse and dense bamboo leaves, casting dappled shadows and creating a sense of tranquility and mystery.

Beyond the bamboo grove lies a courtyard house with a rustic wooden structure.

From afar, one could hear the sounds of hammering and banging. Curious, Su Yixuan walked through the gate of the courtyard and saw several fourteen or fifteen-year-old children processing bamboo sections.

One of the older young men had a half-finished puppy in front of him, only missing its tail.

Su Yixuan expressed her admiration, saying that the only puppets she had ever made were paper cutouts made by hand, and it was truly amazing that they could be made so exquisitely from bamboo.

I squatted down beside him and watched him assemble the bamboo sections one by one into a 360-degree movable dog tail. He hammered and pounded on it for a while, and a little bamboo dog was finished.

"You're amazing! This puppy looks so real!"

Li Wenbin then noticed a young woman squatting next to him, and quickly greeted her, "Hello, sister, thank you for the compliment!"

Xiang Kunshan quickly stopped him: "Wenbin, you can't mess up the seniority. You should call him 'Uncle-Master'!"

"Uncle-Master? Second Senior Brother, are you getting senile? Our Grandmaster has been gone for so many years, how could another disciple suddenly appear?"

"You brat, who are you calling senile! I'm not even sixty yet, I'm still young!" "You're two cycles older than me, and you dare say you're young?"

Xiang Kunshan took off his cloth shoes and chased after him: "You unruly brat, daring to ridicule your second senior brother, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Li Wenbin immediately stuck a talisman on the little bamboo dog: "Wangcai, go, stop the second senior brother!"

With a "buzz," the little bamboo dog seemed to come alive and suddenly started moving.

Then, it bent its front legs and kicked its hind legs, suddenly leaping to Xiang Kunshan's chest and tearing at his clothes, which broke Xiang Kunshan's heart.

He didn't have many decent clothes to begin with, but today he brought out his best clothes from the bottom of his trunk to welcome Su Yixuan.

"Sixth Junior Brother, you'd better make it let go quickly, or I won't hold back."

Li Wenbin didn't really want to do anything; he just wanted to test the flexibility of the little bamboo dog's joints.

Xiang Kunshan dropped the little bamboo dog, quickly checked his clothes, and couldn't help but feel a wave of relief: "Thank goodness, thank goodness!"

Li Wenbin reached out and caught the puppy that jumped into his arms, then carefully examined its workmanship.

Su Yixuan couldn't help but take a second look; this was something good!
If she could create a complete version of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, including the Four Divine Beasts and the Twelve Legions, wouldn't she be able to become a king and dominate the world?

The dream was quickly shattered. Li Wenbin explained, "The spiritual energy content of talismans is extremely low, but the price is not low. It would be more useful if we could use objects containing spiritual energy, such as jade, as the energy source. To put it bluntly, these are things that only rich people can afford!"

Su Yixuan, whose heart was pierced once again, decided to make money first.

"Third Senior Sister has already called us. I knew Junior Uncle would definitely come to visit me, but I didn't expect him to be so young. He seems to be about my age."

Xiang Kunshan blew on his beard: "No matter how young you are, you still have to call him Junior Uncle!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Second Senior Brother is right!"

The carefree Li Wenbin led Su Yixuan directly to his finished product display case: "Junior Uncle, pick one or two you like, I'll give them to you!"

Su Yixuan was truly amazed when she looked at the entire wall of glass display cases.

Hearing this, he was somewhat surprised: "Give it to me?"

"That's right! Junior Uncle and I hit it off immediately, so I'm giving you this little gift in the hopes that it will make you happy! There are only a handful of people in the entire capital who can earn the admiration of Third Senior Sister, yet she speaks highly of you. I believe these gifts will be of even greater use in your hands!"

"That's it? No other requests?"

"No, no! What could I possibly want that I can't have? I can easily sell any of these little trinkets for money; I have plenty of cash!"

Su Yixuan nodded: "Yes, he has plenty of money, but no girlfriend! Sigh, why can't he win her over? He should have the advantage of being close to the water, but is his house built in the sea? It's all because the sea is too wide!"

Xiang Kunshan: "." I feel like my junior uncle is being sarcastic again!

"Junior Uncle is wise!"

Li Wenbin, caught out, coughed awkwardly and asked, "Junior Uncle, are you going to Junior Sister's place later? Can you take me with you?"

Su Yixuan glanced at him and shook her head: "If the time isn't right, everything you do now will be in vain. You should just focus on making money first. Money will bring you beauty. Once you become a capable man, maybe the right person will come along."

"no!"
