Tian Yuan

Enter the town and head straight to the deepest bamboo forest.

At the end of the woods, there stands an elegant and exquisite bamboo building with many flowers, plants and trees planted in the courtyard, which is very suitable for seclusion.

"You stay here, I'll go over and take a look."

Chen Qingyuan said to Nangong Ge and others.

"Ah."

Nangong Ge and Yan Ze stopped and went no further when they were still a hundred feet away from the bamboo building.

So Chen Qingyuan walked away alone.

Standing outside the bamboo gate, he bowed and said, "I am sorry for the intrusion of your visit, senior."

Someone is approaching, and as the ruler of this world, how could Yao Gu not know?

That is Chen Qingyuan. If it were someone else, there would be no way they would have come here. At best they would have been expelled, and at worst their life would have ended.

"come in!"

Yao Gu walked out of the house with a cold tone.

Stand up and look up.

I saw Yao Gu wearing a light white skirt that reached her chest, with her hair in a bun, and her face was fair and wrinkles were gone. When I first met her, Yao Gu was dressed very simply, no different from the girl next door in the village.

Now, she is wearing brocade clothes, jade hairpins, and a little makeup.

Judging from the surface, she looks like an unmarried girl.

Her pair of deep eyes, carrying an unspeakable sense of vicissitudes, seemed out of place with her delicate and pretty outfit.

"Thank you, senior."

Chen Qingyuan bowed and thanked him, then gently pushed open the bamboo door that was only at shoulder height and slowly walked in.

Anyone who comes is a guest, especially someone who has done you a great favor.

In a pavilion in the front yard, Yao Gu and Chen Qingyuan sat opposite each other, pouring a cup of tea to express their goodwill.

"Why can't I see Senior Ouyang?"

Chen Qingyuan had met Situ Lin before and knew that Ouyang Che was here, but he didn't see him this time, so he was puzzled.

"He is in seclusion, and I don't know when he will come out."

Yao Gu replied.

"Oh." The suspicion in Chen Qingyuan's eyes disappeared immediately and he nodded slightly.

Even if Ouyang Che was in seclusion, Yao Gu would dress up carefully every day, and she could never be sure when she would come out to meet him. As the saying goes, it is normal for a woman to dress up to please herself.

I have waited for millions of years, and no one knows the bitterness. Now we are reunited, and every day from now on will be happy, with a happy mood and smiling eyes.

"To be honest, although I asked you to pay attention to this matter, I didn't hold out any hope." Until this moment, Yao Gu still felt like she was dreaming and unrealistic. She looked at Chen Qingyuan with eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you for bringing him back."

"I didn't do much, it must be fate!"

What Chen Qingyuan said was true. Many years ago, when he was traveling in Cangyuzhou, he accidentally saw a young man with a plum blossom mole on his face. After a brief investigation, he made friends with him and protected his safety.

"You saved his life many times. I will never forget this favor."

Medicine Aunt said frankly.

"You're welcome." Chen Qingyuan quickly pushed Situ Lin out to take the blame and said, "I came here this time because I wanted to see how Senior Ouyang was doing, and I received instructions from Senior Situ."

Get yourself out of the way first to show that you are not the one who is eyeing the treasure.

"Wait."

Even if Chen Qingyuan didn't come, Yao Gu would find a way to repay the favor.

After saying this, Yao Gu stood up and walked into the depths of the bamboo building, not knowing what she was going to do.

Chen Qingyuan sat in the pavilion and waited patiently.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yao Gu came out.

In her hand she held a specially made jade bottle, the surface of which was smooth and without any blemishes.

He walked to the ancient pavilion, placed the jade bottle in front of Chen Qingyuan, and said softly, "This is a thank you gift."

"what?"

Chen Qingyuan should have guessed it, but he still had to ask clearly.

Looking at the jade bottle in front of him, Chen Qingyuan's heartstrings tightened, his pupils contracted, and he felt nervous and surprised.

"You should be familiar with the wine I brew."

Medicine lady’s smile is as beautiful as a painting.

Over the long years, Medicine Auntie brewed a total of thirteen cups of immortal wine. She gave one cup to Chen Qingyuan before, and now she planned to give him another cup.

The remaining eleven cups of supreme immortal wine all belong to Ouyang Che, who is currently refining it in seclusion.

Once Ouyang Che has absorbed it all, his cultivation level will definitely be restored to its original state, or even become stronger.

The time required is estimated to be not short.

"Is this...appropriate?"

Glancing at the jade bottle, Chen Qingyuan said something polite but did not accept it directly.

"Take it!" Yao Gu had only met Chen Qingyuan twice and didn't know much about his character, but she felt that he was polite, kept his promises, and was worthy of close friendship.

"Okay." With such a good thing in front of him, how could Chen Qingyuan really refuse? After accepting it, he stood up and bowed to express his gratitude and respect.

"No need to be polite." The more Yao Gu looked at Chen Qingyuan, the more she liked him. She promised, "If you encounter an unsolvable problem in the future, you can come here and I will definitely save your life."

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the emperor came, he would still need to spend some effort and cost to break into the small world created by Yao Gu.

After operating for millions of years, it is hard to imagine how deep the foundation is.

"Junior will remember it."

Chen Qingyuan was moved and bowed again.

"If there is nothing else, let's go back!"

Medicine Aunt said.

"Sorry to bother you, Senior. Goodbye."

Having obtained the benefit so easily, Chen Qingyuan suppressed his excitement, appeared calm on the surface, and said goodbye.

When Chen Qingyuan walked out of the bamboo door, the bamboo building disappeared the next moment. It must have hidden itself and didn't want to be disturbed.

What a stroke of luck.

With a smile on his face and a brisk pace.

"From the looks of you, you've gained quite a lot."

Nangong Ge knew Chen Qingyuan's temper very well and saw through it at a glance.

Although the two stood not far away, they had no idea what was happening inside the bamboo building. It must be Medicine Lady's trick, and outsiders were not allowed to spy on it.

"Not bad." Chen Qingyuan's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Since you have something good, would you like to share it?"

Nangong Ge joked.

"roll."

Chen Qingyuan was not polite at all.

"This is your life-saving item, how could I really ask for it." Nangong Ge said with a smile: "I am not like someone who loves money like life and is heartless."

"......" Chen Qingyuan pretended not to hear and did not answer.

Yan Ze, who was standing aside, smiled but said nothing.

The three of them left the osmanthus forest and sat in the warship.

"Qing Zong."

The goal is clear, go home.

Although I didn't get the Nine Tribulations Soul Wood, the Supreme Immortal Wine can definitely make up for this gap.

There's no need to run around, just go back and think about it carefully.

Nangong Ge had no important business at the moment, so he went with Chen Qingyuan, planning to visit Qingzong and stay there for a while.

"It would be better to find the Nine Tribulations Soul Wood. This would save us a lot of trouble."

If the immortal wine was consumed now, even if the foundation was repaired, he would have to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth again and slowly restore his cultivation.

If he had the soul wood, and waited until his foundation was restored, and then refined the immortal wine into his body, he would be able to return to his original state in a short time.

"Prince, why don't you try harder?"

Chen Qingyuan said with a smile.

"No benefit?"

Since he was free anyway, Nangong Ge pretended to be cool and argued with him.

"We have no relationship, there's no need to do this."

Knowing that Nangong Ge did it on purpose, Chen Qingyuan poured him a cup of tea and complimented him.

The two sat opposite each other and chatted while Yan Ze concentrated on cooking.

The warship was sailing, getting closer and closer to Qingzong.
