Chapter 116 Planting Billions of Spiritual Herbs
"..."
However, it's really great to be worshipped by a sweet little girl.
The problem is, is this little girl even an adult yet?!
Gu Qing looked at her.
She wore an adorable, childlike bun hairstyle, was a little over 1.5 meters tall, petite and delicate, with a curvaceous figure.
Its large eyes are like black gemstones, dark and lively, as if they could speak.
Her face was a little chubby, her skin was fair and delicate, and she was as exquisite as a miniature fairy.
"Senior Brother Gu..."
Seeing Gu Qing looking her over without saying a word, Chu Ling'er became anxious, her face turning red, thinking that Gu Qing was going to send her away.
After all, she had heard from her older sister Chu Yao that Gu Qing was gentle and easygoing with his own people, but cold, distant, domineering, and ruthless with outsiders.
Moreover, she belatedly realized that what she had just said was extremely inappropriate.
In the cultivation world, the most taboo thing is to ask about other people's secrets.
Gu Qing isn't going to hit her, is he?
Seeing that the little girl's eyes were almost brimming with tears, and her pitiful appearance was endearing, Gu Qing looked away, frowned slightly, and asked, "Who is your older sister? Chu Yao?"
"Mmm!" Chu Ling'er nodded repeatedly, like a primary school student.
"It doesn't look like it," Gu Qing muttered.
Chu Yao was tall and slender, a stunning beauty whose head was almost invisible from below, with captivating fox-like eyes.
She has absolutely nothing to do with the sweet little girl in front of her.
"My eldest sister and I do not share the same mother."
Chu Ling'er said subconsciously, then added, "But my eldest sister loves me the most."
"I see."
Gu Qing nodded slightly, asking the system to check her data.
【Name】Chu Ling'er.
[Realm] Peak of the ninth level of the Profound Core Realm.
[Constitution] Elemental Spirit Body.
[Talent] Spirit of Nature.
[Destiny] A destined female protagonist.
[Destiny] A smooth life, a good wife, and a master of Taoist alchemy.
[Luck/Fortune]
"Spirit of Nature? What kind of talent is that?" Gu Qing asked in confusion.
[Beneath nature, the most intelligent of all beings, she is the darling of heaven and earth.]
Upon hearing this, Gu Qing's eyes flickered.
He originally wanted to kick people out, after all, rejecting childishness starts with you and him.
However, since Chu Ling'er is the female lead and has such talent, it wouldn't hurt for her to stay.
Perhaps this will lead to the acquisition of a godfather.
Thinking it over, Gu Qing said in a gentle tone, "You really enjoy alchemy?"
"Mmm!" Chu Ling'er nodded, then said dejectedly, "But I can only refine high-grade pills of the fourth rank."
Her words made Chu Chong and Bai Suying's eyelids twitch, and they looked at her with mixed feelings.
Being able to refine a fourth-grade pill at the Profound Core Realm is already considered a monstrous talent in alchemy, right?
Refining a high-grade pill is extremely rare, and given time, it is certain that a top-grade pill can be refined.
So you're just sitting here looking dejected?
You really did manage to fool me...
However, to be fair, even someone as outstanding as Chu Ling'er cannot compare to Gu Qing.
Bai Suying looked at Gu Qing, her eyes sparkling with joy and pride.
As far as she knew, there were very few ninth-grade alchemists in the Desolate Ancient Realm, and not a single ninth-grade alchemy grandmaster.
And her man was actually a ninth-grade alchemy master, which was unprecedented and probably will never be repeated.
"Don't be discouraged. It's already amazing that you've become a fourth-grade alchemy master. When you grow up a bit more, you'll definitely be able to refine top-grade pills."
Gu Qing comforted him.
Looking at her listless and docile little face, I suddenly felt an itch to touch her.
"Do not……"
Chu Ling'er shook her head, looking at Gu Qing with eyes full of admiration, her big eyes seemingly holding starlight, shining brightly.
"Senior Brother Gu, you are the best. No one can match your talent in alchemy," she said earnestly.
How adorable… Gu Qing waved to her and said, “Come here.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Ling'er's face lit up with a sweet smile, her expression excited. Like a Pomeranian, she kicked her little legs and ran happily to Gu Qing.
"Senior Brother Gu, may I learn alchemy from you?"
"You want to become my apprentice?" Gu Qing thought this little girl was a bit wild, not afraid of strangers at all, and dared to say anything.
Instead of respecting him, they became dependent on him.
It's so weird.
After all, his cultivation level and status speak for themselves.
Even Chu Chong, a man of high rank and great cultivation, held him in awe.
"do not want!"
"I don't want to become an apprentice."
Upon hearing the request to become an apprentice, Chu Yao hurriedly waved her hand, showing strong resistance.
"..."
If you don't become my apprentice, what are you going to learn alchemy from me?
Gu Qing glanced at Chu Chong. Could this old man have brought his daughter here to give her to him?
Since that's the case, he'll accept it without hesitation; it'll be good for luring the protagonist.
Gu Qing spoke to him briefly and asked Chu Ling'er to stay, and Chu Chong readily agreed.
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Chu Ling'er, who had been sold, was overjoyed to hear that she could stay by Gu Qing's side.
What a silly girl… Gu Qing shook his head inwardly, made an excuse to leave, and entered the Hongmeng Ruyi Tower.
Having obtained so many seeds, Gu Qing couldn't wait to plant them.
Gu Qing felt a little uneasy, wondering if the Ruyi Space could successfully cultivate the plant.
After all, the level of Xuanhuang Earth and Xuanhuang Mother Qi is too high.
The medicinal herb seeds that Chu Chong gave were almost all low-grade medicinal herbs.
High-grade and rare medicinal herbs are extremely rare.
Thinking this, Gu Qing took out the seeds of the Longevity Grass and planted them.
As soon as the seeds hit the ground, they took root and sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye, the grasses turning emerald green and glowing.
It can be planted... Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Come to think of it, the primordial chaos is the very foundation of heaven and earth, so there shouldn't be any issue of the body being unable to absorb nourishment.
Gu Qing used his Dao Eye to investigate, and an hour later, the Longevity Grass had grown to be a hundred years old, began to wither, and then sprouted and grew again.
This is rebirth from the ashes.
The immortal herb is reborn every hundred years.
The more times one undergoes Nirvana, the higher one's rank.
There are even rumors that after undergoing Nirvana a thousand times, it can become an elixir of immortality, and consuming it can grant one eternal life.
But that's practically impossible.
Countless immortal lineages have tried, expending countless treasures, but at most they could only cultivate a longevity herb that had undergone eight rebirths, which was already at the level of a royal medicine.
The success rate of the rebirth of the immortal herb decreases by half each time it undergoes a resurrection.
This shows how slim the chances are of cultivating a thousand times the herb of immortality.
But while others may not be able to do it, Gu Qing might.
Because he used Xuanhuang soil and Xuanhuang mother energy.
If he can't cultivate a Celestial-grade Longevity Grass, then cultivating a King-grade Herb is definitely not a problem for him.
The thought of cultivating hundreds of millions of royal herbs completely unsettled Gu Qing.
Immediately use your cultivation to plant all the spiritual herbs.
All plantings were successful.
Even those medicinal herbs that require special environments, such as ice-type herbs, lightning-type herbs, and soul-type herbs, have all taken root, sprouted, and grown vigorously.
"I'm rich..." Gu Qing was overjoyed.
Because after the spiritual medicine absorbs the primordial energy of Xuanhuang, its essence undergoes a qualitative change, meaning that the spiritual medicine's foundation is enhanced.
From an ordinary elixir, it transforms into a precious medicine, a royal medicine, containing boundless vitality and the essence of laws.
Although he has no shortage of cultivation resources, he has enough Xuanhuang Mother Qi.
However, the precious liquid also has its own merits.
These are two different types of energy.
"We must make Chu Chong acquire the seeds of spiritual herbs and other ancient cultivation stars at all costs..."
This cosmic plane contains numerous worlds besides the Ancient Realm, as many as the sands of the Ganges.
He'll go back and have the people from the Star Temple acquire it for him.
Gu Qing now only wants to fill the Ruyi Space with medicinal herbs.
Whether we can use it all or not is one thing, but we can't be without it.
Moreover, planting it in the Ruyi Space might allow the spiritual herb to evolve into a sacred herb or a divine herb.
Therefore, the earlier you plant, the better.
……
"Oh no! Oh no!"
Chu Ling'er's legs moved incredibly fast as she rushed into Bai Suying's garden.
"What is it now? Calm down and tell me slowly."
In the garden pavilion, Bai Suying paused, her hand holding a pastry paused, and she patted her little head.
After spending three days with Chu Ling'er, she grew to love the lively and enthusiastic Chu Ling'er.
"I received news that Qin Shou has emerged from seclusion."
"He will definitely come to challenge Senior Brother Gu."
Chu Ling'er said urgently.
"It's alright, we knew he would come. He's just an overconfident madman, nothing to fear. Look how anxious you are, sit down quickly." Bai Suying said easily, pulling the little cutie to sit down.
"No."
"Sister Ying, let me explain."
"Qin Shou is even more monstrous than the rumors suggest; he has killed Venerable Realm experts."
"what?"
