　　“Shouldn’t we pour some water？”
　　“Patta！…”
　　Just as Xu Taiping was about to go find water, the soil clod that he had originally used to cover the soybean seed was suddenly pushed aside by something.
　　“Huh? Germination… so fast！”
　　He curiously crouched down and was stunned to find that the soybean that had just been planted in the ground had actually sprouted.
　　Not only that, after the sprout broke through the soil, it began to grow stems and leaves at a visible speed, and then flowered and fruited.
　　In just a moment, a mature soybean plant appeared in front of Xu Taiping.
　　This soybean plant was about a foot tall, with leaves so green that they seemed to be able to drip water. The three pods hanging on it were as transparent as jasper, and anyone could tell that they were no ordinary things.
　　“Could the fortune that Grandpa mentioned be the beans in these three pods？”
　　Xu Taiping stretched out his hand in surprise, wanting to pick the three pods.
　　“Little guy.”
　　And just as Xu Taiping reached out to the three pods, a very beautiful voice suddenly sounded from the soybean plant in front of him.
　　Immediately afterwards, Xu Taiping saw a mass of milky white brilliance, like smoke, emerging from the stems and leaves of the bean stalk, and finally converging into the figure of a peerless fairy in front of him.
　　“Don’t pick it in a hurry.”
　　The fairy looked at Xu Taiping, who was already stunned there, with a sweet smile.
　　“You… you… are you a monster or… or a fairy.”
　　Finally regaining his senses, Xu Taiping tried hard to calm his mind, but his voice was still a little stuttering.
　　“A fairy？ Maybe I was once, but now, I can only be regarded as a wisp of remnant soul, parasitizing in this bean and struggling to survive.”
　　The woman thought for a while and then smiled bitterly.
　　“Little guy, don’t be afraid. I won’t harm you, nor can I harm you. I’m showing up now just to make a deal with you.”
　　She then said to Xu Taiping.
　　“A deal？”
Xu Taiping was a little puzzled.
“My real name is Chu Lingyue. Six hundred years ago, I was ambushed by my enemies. My physical body was sealed, and my soul was shattered. Only this wisp of remnant soul managed to escape by relying on this bean. Later, this bean traveled tens of thousands of miles and fell into your grandfather’s hands. Finally, your grandfather passed it on to you Until today, you planted it in this spiritual land and made the bean seed. so that I was able to see the light of day again.”
　　The peerless woman narrated to Xu Taiping with a sincere tone.
　　“If I hadn’t been able to come up the mountain, wouldn’t you, Fairy, have to stay in the bean all the time？”
　　Xu Taiping asked somewhat curiously.
　　Although his disposition was precocious, after all, he was only a teenager in his teens, and his curiosity far outweighed his fear.
　　“That’s right, and not only would I have to stay in the bean, but in another year or two, when the spiritual energy in the bean is completely dissipated, I’m afraid this wisp of remnant soul will also disappear with the smoke.”
　　Chu Lingyue nodded and didn’t hide anything from Xu Taiping.
　　“Then what is the deal you just mentioned, Fairy？”
　　Xu Taiping didn’t ignore the key point of the problem because of curiosity.
　　“For the three pods on this bean stalk, can you only take one and leave the remaining two to me？”
　　Chu Lingyue asked Xu Taiping seriously.
　　“According to what you said, Fairy, only I can pick the pods on this bean stalk？”
　　Xu Taiping looked at Chu Lingyue with wide eyes.
　　“With such a smart grandson, Xu Zhian should be able to rest in peace under the nine springs.”
　　Xu Taiping’s words surprised Chu Lingyue. She gave a bitter smile and then nodded, saying, “That’s right, only the planter can pick the fruits on it.”
　　“Then　I　understand.”
　　Xu　Taiping　nodded.
　　“Since it’s a deal, then what are you going to exchange with me, Fairy？”
　　He asked Chu Lingyue.
　　“If you can only take one of them, I am willing to tell you some of the secrets about this bean, as well as a prescription that can help ordinary bones practice.”
　　Chu Lingyue said very seriously.
　　Her eyes at this moment clearly no longer regarded Taiping as a child.
　　Hearing that Chu Lingyue said that she had a prescription that could help ordinary bones practice, a flash of joy suddenly flashed in Xu Taiping’s eyes.
　　“How can the fairy make me believe you？”
　　Xu Taiping continued to ask without showing any emotion.
　　“I can give you that prescription first. After you try it, if you think it is effective, it will not be too late to trade with me.”
　　Chu Lingyue said with a frank face.
　　Xu Taiping stared at Chu Lingyue’s eyes without blinking. After a long time, he nodded and said, “There is no need to try. I promise to trade with the fairy.”
　　“Why？ Aren’t you afraid that I will lie to you anymore？”
　　Seeing that Xu Taiping agreed so readily, Chu Lingyue was rather strange.
　　“Grandpa said that after I planted that bean, I would get a chance. Now it seems that my chance should be you, fairy.”
　　Xu Taiping replied very seriously.
　　Chu Lingyue was stunned at first, and then covered her mouth and smiled and said：
　　“I didn’t expect that you, little guy, are quite good at talking. In this regard, you are much better than your grandpa.”
　　“Are you very familiar with my grandpa, fairy？”
　　Xu Taiping suddenly asked curiously.
　　From Chu Lingyue’s words, Xu Taiping could faintly tell that she had actually interacted with his grandfather.
　　“I don’t have much time to come out. Let’s talk about this bean first.”
　　Chu Lingyue changed the topic.
　　“Okay.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded and didn’t dwell on the previous question. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and put on an appearance of listening intently.
　　“The bean your grandfather gave you before is also known as the Earth Store Fruit. This is an extremely mysterious spiritual object. Plant it in the fairy mountain, and while absorbing the spiritual energy of the fairy mountain, it can also use the spiritual energy of the fairy mountain as a base to conceive a unique treasure in its fruit.”
　　Fairy Lingyue didn’t keep it a secret but immediately explained it on the spot.
　　“Fairy, do you mean that if this seed is buried in different fairy mountains, the final fruits will be very different？”
　　Besides being surprised, Xu Taiping also had a doubt.
　　“That’s right.”
　　Fairy Lingyue nodded with approval on her face.
　　“The spiritual power contained in each fairy mountain is different. Just like you humans, each person has a different face. Because of this, the fruits produced by the Earth Store Fruit on different mountains and the treasures conceived in the fruits are all different.”
　　She explained in more detail.
　　“This small soybean is actually so extraordinary. No wonder Grandpa said it’s a great opportunity.”
　　After listening to Fairy Lingyue’s detailed explanation, Xu Taiping had a look of astonishment on his face.
　　His initial guess was that this soybean seed was at most a precious treasure like some kind of fairy fruit, but he didn’t expect it to be a divine object that could conceive treasures.
　　“You pick one of the pods and peel it open.”
　　Fairy Lingyue pointed to the three pods on the bean stalk.
