Although Xiao Yulan was dissatisfied in her heart, she was not an unreasonable person. Seeing that Xiao Qiang was firm in his decision, she did not say anything else.
After the three of them had lunch, Xiao Chen rejected their request to go down the mountain with them and made up a reason. He only said that he had just advanced to Medial Grade Martial Disciple and that the Qi in his body was not stable, so he needed to recuperate for a period of time.
After most Martial Disciples advanced, they would recuperate for a period of time. This was not a strange thing, so Xiao Qiang did not force Xiao Chen. He only requested that he return before the sky turned dark.
Actually, Xiao Chen did not need to recuperate. His advancement to Medial Grade Martial Disciple could be said to be a natural and smooth process. He did not forcefully advance, so he did not need to deliberately recuperate.
The reason why he did not go down the mountain with Xiao Yulan was because he wanted to gather more herbs before he left. It was rare for him to come to Seven Horn Mountain, so naturally, Xiao Chen would not return so easily.
After Xiao Yulan and Xiao Qiang were far away, Xiao Chen immediately went out and strolled all over the mountain. Using his Spiritual Sense, not a single Spirit Herb could escape his detection.
Because of the Tang Clan, Seven Horn Mountain had been sealed off the previous day. At this moment, there were very few people on the mountain. Even the places that were usually crowded were now empty.
Xiao Chen could also use the Lightning Evasion without worry. Once he discovered a good Spirit Herb, he would immediately fly over. If it grew on a cliff, he would use the Gravity Spell to fly up.
Using both methods at the same time, there were no Spirit Herbs that Xiao Chen could discover that he could not pick. However, when Xiao Chen picked herbs, he also abided by his principles.
He did not pick herbs below Grade 2, herbs that were not fully matured, herbs that were not old enough, or seedlings. These were the principles that a herbalist had to abide by.
If the Seven Horn Mountain Range were to be harvested indiscriminately, the entire Seven Horn Mountain Range would dry up and become a dead mountain in less than three years.
When the sun set, Xiao Chen's Universe Ring was filled with all sorts of medicinal herbs. Ten-year Grade 4 Snow Ginseng, twenty-year Grade 3 Wind Spirit Grass, twenty-year Grade 8 Octagonal Lotus …
Xiao Chen grinned with satisfaction. With the help of his Divine Sense and the Lightning Evasion Technique and Gravity Technique, his harvest today was equivalent to half a year's harvest for an ordinary person.
Furthermore, there were some rare medicinal herbs that ordinary people would never be able to discover if they did not have a Spiritual Sense. This benefited Xiao Chen.
"It's time to go down the mountain. If we don't, we'll have to spend the night here again," Xiao Chen muttered.
…
He returned to the Xiao Manor without any accidents. When he arrived at his courtyard, Xiao Chen felt like he had returned home.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Do I, Xiao Chen, really have a home in this world?
"Second Young Master, are you back?"
The moment Xiao Chen stepped through the gates, he heard Bao`er's joyful voice. It was already close to dusk. Bao`er was sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.
When she saw Xiao Chen return, she quickly put down what she was doing and ran over. Her face was filled with unconcealable joy.
Xiao Chen felt warmth in his heart. He smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I'm back. How have you been?"
Bao`er was very happy in her heart. She told Xiao Chen everything that had happened in the Xiao Residence in the past few days. They were all trivial matters.
Although Xiao Chen was not very interested, he did not stop Bao`er. After all, the days in the mountains were too lonely. Now that he heard someone chattering by his ear, he found it a kind of joy.
"That's right, Young Master, you must be hungry. I'll make you some fish porridge." Bao`er seemed to have thought of something. She quickly said goodbye to Xiao Chen and headed for the kitchen.
The effects of the Fasting Pill had not passed yet. Xiao Chen was not hungry. It was just that he had not been in contact with oil for the past few days. He was filled with anticipation for Bao`er's cooking.
When he returned to his room, Xiao Chen took out all the herbs in the Universe Ring and prepared to categorize them.
"Hua!"
A large pile of herbs appeared out of nowhere. They took up most of the empty space in the room. Xiao Chen frowned slightly. It was not easy to categorize so many herbs. This was a blissful problem.
However, no matter how difficult it was, he had to figure it out. Otherwise, it would be very inconvenient to use them in the future. Xiao Chen first categorized the herbs according to their attributes into five categories.
Those that replenished Qi and blood were categorized into one category. Those that healed injuries were categorized into one category. Those that nourished one's body were categorized into one category. Those that could directly increase one's cultivation were categorized into one category. The last category was categorized into one category.
After that, Xiao Chen carefully categorized these five categories based on their grades. After he took out the Spirit Herbs that he needed, he divided them into different areas in the Universe Ring and placed them back in their original positions.
After he was done with everything, Xiao Chen's forehead was covered in sweat. At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps coming from outside the door. Xiao Chen quickly released his Spiritual Sense.
If someone discovered that he had so many herbs, he would not be able to explain himself. When he used his Spiritual Sense to check, he discovered that it was Bao`er carrying the fish porridge over. He relaxed.
When Bao`er entered and saw the herbs on the floor, she understood what Xiao Chen wanted to do. She knew that she could not disturb him. She smiled gently and placed the fish porridge on the table before she took her leave.
After sending Bao`er off, Xiao Chen returned to his room. He was immediately attracted by the fragrance of the fish porridge. He picked up his bowl and chopsticks and started eating happily.
"Pu Tong!"
Suddenly, the infant Six-Tailed Spirit Fox jumped out of the Spirit Blood Jade. It looked pitifully at Xiao Chen, who was eating happily. Its white tail wagged around and its eyes were misty. It was as pitiful as it could be.
Ever since he signed a blood contract with this infant Spirit Fox, it had not eaten anything. Xiao Chen only cared about eating the Fasting Pill and completely ignored the feelings of the infant Spirit Fox.
At this moment, the infant Spirit Fox must be very hungry. Xiao Chen smiled awkwardly and brought the bowl to the infant Spirit Fox. "You want to eat too? Never mind, you can have it. "
The infant Spirit Fox stuck out its tongue and licked the bowl a few times. After that, it stopped moving. It raised its head and looked pitifully at Xiao Chen. The meaning in its eyes was clear: This thing was not to her taste.
Xiao Chen could not help but feel anxious. He knew very little about the feeding of Spirit Beasts. He did not know what to do with the current situation.
What if this infant Spirit Fox starved to death? That would be a great sin. In his anxiety, Xiao Chen thought of the worst.
"Idiot."
It was unknown when the tsundere Sword Spirit had appeared behind Xiao Chen. When Xiao Chen saw her, he could not help but see some hope. As for her calling him an idiot, he automatically ignored it.
"Tsundere Sister, do you know what exactly this Spirit Fox eats?"
"Idiot, this infant Spirit Fox is only a month old. Of course, it drinks milk. Otherwise, what do you think it eats? When others sign a blood contract, they will wait until their infant Spirit Fox is three months old. You, on the other hand, signed a blood contract before a month has passed."
So, there is such a saying, Xiao Chen thought. However, the situation was urgent and he had no other choice. If he had not used the Spirit Blood Jade, it would have been snatched away by Liu Fenglin.
Xiao Chen's gaze unconsciously shifted to the Tsundere Sword Spirit's chest. Although this infant Spirit Fox was only a Sword Spirit, her chest seemed to be very full. I wonder if I can …
Damn it! Where did I think I went?
Feeling Xiao Chen's gaze, the Tsundere Sword Spirit said angrily, "Idiot, you hooligan, what are you looking at?"
Xiao Chen blushed and said awkwardly, "It's a habit. It's purely a habit. No, it's not a habit. I just didn't pay attention. I didn't pay attention. Do you understand?"
The Tsundere Sword Spirit could not be bothered with him. She floated over and hugged the pitiful infant Spirit Fox. She extended her right index finger and gently placed it in the Spirit Fox's mouth.
Chi Chi! "
Streams of pure energy gathered on the Tsundere Sword Spirit's index finger, giving off a milky white glow. Finally, this energy actually condensed into a milky white liquid.
The little Spirit Fox seemed to have tasted the most delicious food in the world. It happily sucked and closed its eyes. There was a satisfied expression on its adorable face.
How could this be …
Xiao Chen looked at the scene in front of him incredulously. Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to think that the milky white liquid was that. This was clearly the energy of heaven and earth turning into a substance.
If the Tsundere Sword Spirit wanted to, this pure energy could immediately turn into a destructive and invincible Qi. Furthermore, it would be a solid Qi.
If a cultivator like Xiao Chen faced such a Qi, he would not even need to wait for the Qi to approach. The shockwave from the Qi would be able to easily tear him to shreds without any resistance.
Such strength meant that she was at least a Martial Monarch. It was no wonder that the Tsundere Sword Spirit had looked down on Xiao Chen. A Martial Monarch was already a National Guardian in the Great Qin Nation.
National Guardian, National Guardian … What was National Guardian? Using the strength of a single person to suppress mountains and rivers for thousands of kilometers — this was a National Guardian.
In the Great Qin Nation, there were three prefectures, nine provinces, and seventy-two counties. There were tens of thousands of kilometers of beautiful mountains and rivers. On the surface, there were only ten National Guardians. Could this girl in front of him be a National Guardian?
Is she really just an insignificant Sword Spirit?
After a while, the milky white light finally stopped. The Tsundere Sword Spirit withdrew her index finger and her body swayed in the air. She was clearly weak, but the expression on her face was one of gratification.
"Hey, Sister Tsundere, are you alright?" Xiao Chen asked worriedly when he saw how weak she was. The milky white light that the cub had absorbed earlier did not seem to be much.
In reality, it contained a vast amount of Spiritual Energy. If a regular cultivator absorbed it, they would be able to raise their cultivation by an entire cultivation realm. With such exhaustion, Xiao Chen was afraid that she would not be able to endure it.
The Tsundere Sword Spirit shook her head and said, "I'm fine. The energy that it absorbed earlier was enough for it to last for three months. After that, I can feed it meat porridge."
"This little fellow has not given it a name yet, right? Why don't you give it one? "The Tsundere Sword Spirit suddenly thought of this problem.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said, "Is this little fellow a boy or a girl? No, that's not right. Is it male or female?"
"Idiot, there is no need for you to give it a name. Just call it Bai," the Tsundere Sword Spirit said hatefully.
Bai, Bai, Xiao Chen muttered to himself. This name should be a girl. Doesn't that mean she will be a vixen in the future?
Damn it, what am I thinking of again …
