”Hmm.”
The green gourd swayed and then continued to say：
”However, to come out, you still have to wait for one or two days until these three gourds are completely ripe.”
This was something that Fairy Lingyue had explained to Xu Taiping before.
After waking up this time, her remnant soul would use this green gourd as a residence to slowly nourish her soul and no longer need to attach to the Earth Store Fruit.
”Little Taiping, although I don’t know exactly what treasures are in the other two gourds, the auras they emit are very powerful. Maybe there will be surprises this time.”
Fairy Lingyue then said with a hint of excitement in her tone.
”I also think there will be surprises.”
Xu Taiping also nodded. He was also very much looking forward to the treasures produced by the second fruiting of the earth fruit.
After chatting with Fairy Lingyue about some of the confusions in his cultivation in the past few months, Xu Taiping returned to the house, played a few games of chess with the little monkey, and then returned to the bedroom to continue the evening’s cultivation.
Now he doesn’t want to waste any time.
And when Xu Taiping started to practice, the little monkey Ping’an played alone in the yard very obediently. It was either punching in the posture of Xu Taiping or climbing up and down the old banyan tree, having a great time playing.
“Gulong…”
When it was almost dark, the little monkey Ping’an’s stomach began to make noises.
The appetite of the Mountain-Moving Ape is very large. Even though it ate a whole roasted lamb leg at noon, it still felt extremely hungry at this time.
However, even though it was so hungry that it was weak, it still didn’t disturb Xu Taiping. It just hung itself on the tree with its tail and swayed back and forth, and in its mouth, it kept reciting the Three-Character Classic taught to it by Xu Taiping：
“At the beginning of a monkey, its nature is good. Its nature is similar, but its habits are far apart. Yellow sheep meat, big chicken legs, roasted bear paws…”
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Just when the little monkey Ping’an couldn’t help but want to grab a handful of leaves and stuff them into its mouth, there was suddenly a knock on the door outside the courtyard.
The little monkey flicked its tail, swayed its body and landed on the branch. Then it covered the glaring morning glow with its hand and looked outside the courtyard. Then it saw a middle-aged man in a green shirt standing at the door.
“Excuse me, is little friend Xu Taiping at home？”
The voice of the middle-aged man sounded.
“Jiji…”
The little monkey jumped down from the tree at once, climbed to the top of the courtyard door bouncingly, and then gestured excitedly to the middle-aged man.
“Little monkey, is your master in the courtyard？”
The middle-aged man smiled at the little monkey.
Hearing this, the little monkey suddenly remembered that it seemed to be able to speak human language. Immediately it shook its head and said：
“Not here. You go. Xu Taiping. Not interested. In the Yunlou Association. Not interested.”
It had just learned human language and could only speak some short sentences when talking.
“Oh…”
The middle-aged man nodded thoughtfully, and a hint of cunning that was not easy to detect flashed in his eyes. Then he raised his head again and looked at the little monkey and said：
“Little monkey, I have two spiritual peaches here. Do you want to eat them？”
As he spoke, he took out two fist-sized tender peaches from his wide sleeve.
A unique aroma of spiritual fruits spread out in this area the moment the two spiritual peaches were taken out.
“Jiji…”
Smelling the fragrance of the spiritual fruit, the little monkey couldn’t help itself and started scratching its ears and cheeks while squatting there.
“Little monkey, if you want to eat, come out and get it yourself.”
As the middle-aged man spoke, he picked up one of the spiritual peaches and ate it with gusto.
“Jiji…”
Facing the temptation of the middle-aged man, the little monkey Ping’an wanted to jump down several times. However, thinking of Xu Taiping’s previous warning, it finally endured and, after “cursing” and pointing at the middle-aged man and shouting, it returned to the banyan tree in the courtyard.
“Forget it, I’m too lazy to tease you. Here’s the spiritual peach for you. Come and get it yourself.”
Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled, then put the spiritual peach on the ground and turned around and left without looking back.
“Jiji…”
Seeing the middle-aged man leave, the little monkey immediately hung from a tree branch with one hand and swung like a swing to the tile edge on the top of the door.
“Ji？”
Looking around to the west and making sure that the middle-aged man had really left, the little monkey felt relieved, jumped to the ground in one fell swoop, and then quickly picked up the spiritual fruit on the ground.
But at this moment, the middle-aged man seemed to be invisible and appeared beside the little monkey out of thin air.
“Ji…”
The little monkey Ping’an didn’t even have time to shout before it was caught by the middle-aged man and knocked out with a palm.
“Little guy, since you don’t want to drink the toast, you can only drink the penalty wine.”
The middle-aged man looked at the plaque “Green Bamboo Residence” above the courtyard gate, and then with a flick of his hand, he shot a dart out of his sleeve, hitting the plaque straight.
And on that dart, there was even a letter inserted.
After doing all this, the figure of the middle-aged man disappeared out of thin air again.
……
“Friend Taiping, if you want to get back your spiritual pet, come to Taoyuan Ridge within three days for a chat. Yunlouhui Jian Yuan stays.”
When Xu Taiping saw this letter, it was already after a stick of incense.
Just now, his cultivation had just reached a critical juncture, and his mind was immersed in it, so he didn’t notice the situation outside.
“I’m just a mere Open Door Realm cultivator, and I have no grudges with the Yunlouhui. Why would they do this？”
Xu Taiping, who was walking towards the medicine garden while reading the letter, couldn’t quite understand.
“What’s wrong, Taiping？”
At this time, Xu Taiping had already stood in the medicine garden, and beside him was that gourd vine.
“A casual cultivator alliance called the Yunlouhui has kidnapped Little Monkey and asked me to go to his mansion within three days.”
Xu Taiping told Fairy Lingyue about everything that happened today and the fact that the Yunlouhui had repeatedly invited him during this period of time.
“Most likely, they have taken a fancy to the medicinal herbs in your medicine garden.”
Fairy Lingyue truly lives up to her reputation as an old timer in the jianghu and immediately thought of this possibility.
“There is this possibility. This year, all the medicinal materials I planted in the medicine garden are precious.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
“Taiping, don’t worry either. Since their purpose is the medicinal materials in your medicine garden, they won’t harm Ping’an before meeting you. And tonight, these three gourds will be completely ripe. You first take the treasures to increase a guarantee, and then I will accompany you to Taoyuan Ridge.”
Fairy Lingyue suggested at this time.
“Well, that’s the only way.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
This was also the reason why he didn’t rush out just now, but came to this medicine garden.
……
That night.
When the moon was in the middle of the sky, with a “pa da” sound, the green gourd where Fairy Lingyue lived first fell from the gourd vine.
Then Xu Taiping saw that the fluorescent green gourd floated straight towards him.
“Little Taiping, you have to take good care of my residence in the future.”
The somewhat playful voice of Fairy Lingyue sounded from the gourd, and then the mouth of the gourd opened, and a somewhat transparent figure floated out of the gourd.
Who else could it be but Fairy Lingyue？
