It's probably because the gold ingot was placed very close to the wall when I slept last night.
Accompanied by a sharp pain under his armpit, Chen Yuze was woken up early in the morning by Yuanbao's beak poking him.
Looking out the window at the sky, which was a little earlier than usual, Chen Yuze gave up the idea of going back to sleep.
He carefully crawled out of bed and checked on Daji and Baosi in the cradle by the bedside.
After enjoying a satisfying petting of the sleeping fox, Chen Yuze picked up Zhengyi, whom he would bring into the house every night, and went to the gourd trellis in the yard.
As is customary, he covered the gourd with black silk and then poured some water on it with a spray bottle. Looking at the plump gourd, which seemed to have a faint seven-colored light flowing on its surface, Chen Yuze happily hummed a little tune.
He looks no different from those old men who loved growing flowers and plants in his previous life.
As for why the gourd was covered with black silk...
As the saying goes, hobbies should be cultivated from a young age. Although justice is not insignificant in any sense, this does not mean that Chen Yuze should cultivate her hobbies and interests, does it?
If Heaven had not given birth to Chen Yuze, the world of black stockings would have been plunged into eternal darkness!
Since Heaven has chosen to let Chen Yuze be reborn in this world, then he must bring the most wonderful black stockings feast to this world!
Start getting your own daughters into wearing black stockings!
……
After finishing his chores and simmering porridge over a low flame, Chen Yuze went to the courtyard and began writing a story.
Since I'm just killing time anyway, and my daughters seem so interested in writing scripts, I figured I might as well write a little more.
However, Chen Yuze had only written less than five hundred words when a small sparrow flew into the yard. In no time, it transformed into a little old man dressed in black stockings.
Although Chen Yuze initially gave the black silk stockings, which had the effect of keeping the patient warm in winter and cool in summer, to prevent the old man's rheumatism from recurring.
But at this moment, looking at Old Sparrow's strange black silk legs, Chen Yuze suddenly felt a little confused.
To be honest, is this really what I want?
"senior!"
After bowing respectfully to Chen Yuze, Old Sparrow immediately took out a basket of herbs from his storage ring.
"Old Sparrow, what are you doing?"
Looking at the basket of herbs, Chen Yuze was tempted, but he first looked at Elder Que.
"Didn't you have Wenwen bring some mooncakes home last night, senior?" Old Sparrow chuckled, patting his unremarkable biceps on his shoulder.
"After eating that mooncake, I inexplicably broke through to the Great Perfection of the Transformation Realm. I suppose that in time, I will be able to formally break through to the Refinement Realm. To express my gratitude for your care of my clan, I ordered my clansmen to prepare these herbs to thank you."
"So you're preparing to break through to the Void Refinement Realm so soon?"
Looking Sparrow up and down, Chen Yuze remembered that when they first met, Sparrow had only reached the Great Perfection of the Transformation Realm. He never expected that only a few months later, he would have already reached the Great Perfection of the Transformation Realm.
In contrast, their own daughters, Yuanbao, are still only at the Great Perfection stage. Ruyi and Chilian are slightly better off, both at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement stage.
As for Baihua and Moxi, one is in the middle stage of Mahayana Buddhism and the other in the early stage.
Leaving aside the two girls who have only recently arrived at the courtyard, isn't Yuanbao and the others making a bit too slow in their cultivation?
Logically speaking, since they eat and drink well every day and occasionally receive cupping and acupuncture treatments from Chen Yuze, their cultivation progress should be faster than that of Elder Que.
"Old Sparrow, I have a question for you."
Full of doubts, Chen Yuze decided to ask Master Que.
As it turned out, Master Que really did know the answer:
"Senior, we demon beasts are just like human cultivators; the size of each person's spiritual sea is different. Only the spirit within the spiritual sea..."
Only by accumulating power to its limit can one expand their spiritual sea and break through to the next realm of cultivation. However, the ladies in the senior courtyard naturally possess spiritual seas that are tens or even hundreds of times larger than those of ordinary demonic beasts. Therefore, the spiritual power required to fill their spiritual seas is naturally far greater than that of ordinary demonic beasts.
"I see."
Chen Yuze nodded, now understanding why Yuanbao and the others' cultivation progress was slower than that of Elder Que.
However, this is not without its advantages.
The larger one's spiritual sea, the higher one's upper limit of strength. For example, Yuanbao and Sparrow, both at the Great Perfection of Transformation, have vastly different spiritual seas; the former's is much larger than the latter's.
It's no exaggeration to say that even if Elder Que reached the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement Realm, his spiritual sea might not be a quarter the size of Yuanbao's current one.
This is why there are often some 'geniuses' in the cultivation world who can kill enemies of higher levels.
"Since these herbs are a token of your kindness, Elder Que, then I won't stand on ceremony."
I carefully put away the herbs that Elder Que brought, planning to transplant them to the herb garden in the backyard later.
Then, Chen Yuze took out the draft of the story he had written earlier and handed it to Old Master Que:
"Old Master Que, I've been writing storybooks lately. Do you know anyone who's in the business of this?"
"Storybooks?"
Looking curiously at the draft in his hand, even before he had read it, Old Sparrow nodded: "My ex-wife runs a bookstore and also has connections to help people publish books."
"Ex-wife???"
Chen Yuze almost choked on his own saliva.
I never expected you, this old man who loves wearing black stockings, to be so versatile.
"Old Sparrow, are you sure your ex-wife will help you?"
Chen Yuze looked at Elder Que with some concern, feeling that something was amiss.
Even though it's said that a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness, it's really hard to say what will happen after a divorce.
"She's a rather rigid person; she never gives anyone special treatment." Old Sparrow smiled.
"However, if the quality of your story is good enough, there shouldn't be any problems."
"Then why aren't you two together anymore?" Curious, Chen Yuze rubbed his hands together. Perhaps it was because he spent so much time with the girls that Chen Yuze had become so fond of gossip.
Shrugging, Old Sparrow said nonchalantly:
"Didn't I tell you? She never lets anyone get in through connections."
"what?"
Chen Yuze was stunned for a moment.
It wasn't until about half a minute later that he realized what was happening and gasped sharply.
I never would have guessed! You, with your chronic leg pain, actually enjoy walking on the welding track!
"Ahem, Elder Sparrow, when would you like to take me to meet that person?"
"If you have time, senior, today is fine."
Old Master Que readily agreed, showing absolutely no embarrassment at having to face his ex-wife.
"Okay, let's do it today then."
Chen Yuze glanced back at the kitchen: "But I still have some porridge cooking in the pot. Why don't you have a bowl with me, Elder Que? We can go see that person after we've had the porridge."
Is there such a good thing?
Upon hearing that he could have Chen Yuze's porridge, Old Que immediately nodded in agreement.
As everyone knows, the food at Doctor Chen's house is all incredibly precious. Being able to drink a bowl of porridge here is equivalent to more than half a month of arduous cultivation.
"I will follow your instructions, senior!"
135. Cuckoo
After having breakfast and instructing the girls to keep an eye on Yuanbao, Chen Yuze rode on the back of the old sparrow and left Changqing Mountain.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the old sparrow's original form is just a small sparrow; with just a little bit of demonic power, it can grow dozens of times larger.
Let alone carrying Chen Yuze on your back, you could even bring up a mahjong table without any problem.
Two hours later, Chen Yuze and Elder Que arrived at their destination – the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers in Manxiang Mountain.
Manxiang Mountain is about three times the size of Changqing Mountain. Wanhua Valley is located on the shore of Tianhu Lake at the top of Manxiang Mountain.
According to Elder Sparrow, the vast majority of creatures living in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers are plant spirits. In addition, there are a few butterflies, bees, and bird monsters.
For example, the Valley Master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers is actually a giant domino flower.
Of course, Chen Yuze and Master Que did not need to see the Overlord Flower on this trip.
"Senior, please wait a moment."
Outside the Valley of a Thousand Flowers, perhaps because he was about to meet his ex-wife, Old Sparrow unusually tidied his appearance.
"It seems you still care about your ex-wife quite a bit, Mr. Que."
Seeing the serious look on Old Sparrow's face, Chen Yuze couldn't help but chuckle twice.
But the next second, Chen Yuze could no longer laugh.
After twisting his neck, the old man's aged skin instantly regained its vitality.
Then, his weathered white hair began to gradually turn black. Even his height seemed to increase by a head.
In the blink of an eye, the white-haired old man had transformed into a tall, elite man who looked to be around thirty or forty years old.
"???"
Who are you, handsome guy?
You and that immortal Saint Seiya who sits in front of the Five Old Peaks all day watching the waterfall, are you perhaps related?
Looking at the old man in front of him who had aged again and was even more handsome, Chen Yuze was even more shocked than when he saw Zheng Yi transform from a flat-chested loli into the big Lai Lai sister.
"Senior, I don't think I look shabby now, do I?"
Patted the waist
He held the long sword between his legs and stroked the stubble on his chin. Old Sparrow now looked every bit the free-spirited wanderer.
"Don't let my old and decrepit appearance fool you. When I was young, everyone called me the Swift Wind Wanderer."
"Wait, let me calm down first."
Gently rubbing his temples, Chen Yuze had to admit that the changes in Old Sparrow were truly astonishing.
It took Chen Yuze quite a while to force himself to accept the current appearance of the old man.
