"Zhenling, I haven't seen you in a while!"
The steward of the tea garden greeted Yang Zhenling from afar.
"Master Li, we haven't seen each other for a while!"
Yang Zhenling cupped her hands at Master Li and then said to Gu Zheng, "Master Li is the steward of the tea garden, and he is also the best tea maker on Foggy Wind Island. The reason why he is here today is actually to wait for us! The Sect Leader has instructed him to personally make tea for Fellow Cultivator Gu! "
"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader Yang," Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Is this the distinguished guest of Foggy Wind Island, Gu Zheng, Sect Leader Gu? Please come this way, I'll make tea for our distinguished guest now! "
Master Li cupped his hands at Gu Zheng, his face full of enthusiasm.
"Master Li, please!"
Gu Zheng smiled faintly and walked towards the pavilion that Master Li had pointed out.
The tea set and tea leaves had already been prepared. Master Li had made a new pot of tea and quickly served it to Gu Zheng and the others.
Gu Zheng had drunk the Foggy Wind Tea when he was in Kunlun Sect, but it was not a new tea.
After tasting the tea, the unique fragrance of the new tea immediately spread from the tip of the tongue to the whole mouth.
"Good tea!"
Gu Zheng praised, and then said, "The tea is emerald green, the taste is mellow! The taste was like drinking sweet dew, the melody was long and lingering, leaving one with endless aftertaste! Of course, although the tea is good, it needs a good master to make it. Master Li, thank you for your hard work! "
"Not at all, not at all!"
Master Li was very happy to be praised by a distinguished guest like Gu Zheng.
Sitting in the pavilion, looking at the scenery of the mountain and enjoying the gentle mountain breeze, the new pot of tea was finally finished.
After rejecting Master Li's warm invitation to stay, Gu Zheng and the others went on their way again.
The higher they went, the steeper the mountain road became. Some places only allowed one person to pass, and when they encountered steep places, they even needed to use their hands to climb.
Fortunately, in the group, except for the sister of the Yang family, no one was afraid of walking on such a mountain road. Because Yang Zhenling was worried about her sister, she held her hand the whole time, and because of this, their speed slowed down a little.
"Brother, slow down. I'm afraid of heights!"
Being carried by Yang Zhenling, the Yang sister was still a little scared, especially when she heard the sound of rocks rolling down the mountain.
"I told you not to follow, but you wouldn't listen. Look at you now?" Yang Zhenling said helplessly.
"Got it. I'll listen to you in the future, okay?"
At this moment, the Yang Family's younger sister was no longer as eloquent as before. She was so scared that there was no trace of a smile on her face.
Yang Zhenling turned around and rolled her eyes. "It's good that you agreed now, but you'll definitely forget about it in the blink of an eye."
"Why are you still talking when you already know this?"
The Yang Family girl rolled her eyes at Yang Zhenling, and immediately urged, "Hurry up! Look at Sect Master Gu and the rest, they've already left us far behind! "
"If I wasn't afraid of scaring you, would we have been left so far behind? Be careful, I'm going to speed up! "
"Forget it, don't speed up, I'm scared!"
The conversation between Yang Zhenling and her sister made Gu Zheng laugh. Yang Zhenling shrugged helplessly at Gu Zheng.
"The Mistwind Apricots up ahead are the most delicious, but why isn't there a road here?" Meow Meow asked curiously.
"It's because the Mistwind Apricots up ahead are delicious that they've never built a road in order to reduce the flow of people. According to the elders in the sect, some delicious fruits have spirituality. If people see too many of them, the spirituality will disappear and the taste will deteriorate, "Yang Zhenling said.
Meow Meow nodded. "That's right. After all, good things are usually in places where people rarely go."
When Yang Zhenling and the Yang Family girl came over, the group continued on their way. The road ahead was much better. Although the road was still narrow, it wasn't as steep as before.
"Nine meters up ahead, there's a Normal grade Mistwind Apricot."
The weapon spirit's voice suddenly sounded. Gu Zheng's mood instantly improved. After walking so far, they finally saw a Normal grade Mistwind Apricot.
Among the jagged rocks was a Mistwind Apricot tree that was taller than a person. Its roots were planted in a crack between two rocks, and it didn't look very strong. There weren't many Mistwind Apricots on the tree, only about twenty or so. However, each one was a size larger than the ones in the apricot garden at the foot of the mountain, and their ripened colors were deeper.
"Meow Meow, go pick the fruit! Don't pick too many, just one for each person. "
"Okay."
Meow Meow's nimble body swayed, and she quickly arrived at the Mistwind Apricot tree. She waved her little hand at the Mistwind Apricot several times, and the Mistwind Apricot that had been knocked down by the air current landed in her hand.
Although Gu Zheng had come to Foggy Wind Island to purchase some resources, he was only here for sightseeing. It wasn't the time to purchase resources yet. Therefore, he only wanted to taste these Foggy Wind Apricots. It wasn't good to pick them all.
"Smells so good!"
Meow Meow sniffed the Mistwind Apricot, then put it in her mouth.
"Crunch!"
A crisp sound came from Meow Meow's mouth, and the sweet juice immediately burst in her mouth.
Although the Mistwind Apricot had the word "apricot" in its name, its texture after ripening was not as soft as apricots. Its texture was very crisp, just like an apple's. It was for this reason that it was especially suitable for making preserves.
Meow Meow was still hungry for more Mistwind Apricot, and so was Sister Yang. However, she was even more greedy, and she even sucked the juice left on her fingertips.
"It's delicious, too delicious! It's only during this period of the year that I can eat such delicious Mistwind Apricots! "
Sister Yang's voice paused, and then she smiled slyly. "This year, I'm lucky enough to follow Sect Leader Gu up the mountain. I can eat as many Mistwind Apricots as I want. I must eat until I'm full!"
"You can't miss this opportunity, right?" Gu Zheng laughed.
"Yes, you can't eat this bun!" Sister Yang also laughed.
"Sister, don't just laugh. If you want to eat more Mistwind Apricots, we have to keep going. I remember there were five trees in a row up ahead!"
As soon as Yang Zhenling said that, Sister Yang immediately became spirited and urged everyone to hurry up.
As Yang Zhenling said, it didn't take long for them to see five Mistwind Apricot trees very close to them.
"This time, I'm going to pick the fruit!"
The terrain wasn't dangerous, so Sister Yang immediately ran over with joy.
"Sister, slow down!"
Yang Zhenling was worried and immediately followed.
Looking at the shape and color of the Mistwind Apricots, they didn't seem to be as good as the one they saw before. Meow Meow asked curiously, "Mister, what grade are the Mistwind Apricots this time?"
"These Mistwind Apricots are all second-grade. They're not as good as the one we saw before!" Gu Zheng said.
"Since they're second-grade, I'd better not eat them."
Meow Meow shook her head. After following Gu Zheng, she had become more picky with her food.
"Why do I feel like the Mistwind Apricots aren't as good as the ones on the first tree?"
Sister Yang, who was eating the Mistwind Apricots as she walked, looked at Yang Zhenling in confusion.
"That's impossible! They're all Mistwind Apricots from the mountain. What's the difference? You must be tired and thirsty when you ate the first one, so you think it's especially good. "
Although Yang Zhenling knew there were Mistwind Apricot trees here, he had never tasted the fruits on these trees.
"Is that really the case?"
Sister Yang clearly wasn't satisfied with this answer. She looked at Gu Zheng in confusion.
"Sect Master Gu, why do I feel like the Mistwind Apricots here aren't as good as the ones on the previous tree?"
"There's no need to try. You're right. The fruits on these five Mistwind Apricot trees aren't as good as the ones on the previous tree," Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Why is that?" Sister Yang asked curiously.
"Mister, don't tell her!"
Gu Zheng was just about to speak when Meow Meow pulled his arm and shook it.
"Why don't you let Sect Master Gu tell me?" Sister Yang asked.
"Hmph, you want to know what's going on? If you want to know, call me big sister. Otherwise, I won't tell you! "
Meow Meow smiled proudly. She still remembered the diving suit incident on the ship.
"What's the big deal? I won't ask."
Sister Yang stuck her tongue out at Meow Meow, and the group continued on their way.
"Eight meters to the left, Normal Mistwind Apricots."
The device spirit's voice sounded again.
"There are six or seven Mistwind Apricot trees here. They must be as good as the ones from before!"
Sister Yang cheered and ran over again.
"Mister, are there any Normal Mistwind Apricots here?" Meow Meow asked.
"Yes, there's only one."
Gu Zheng pointed, and Meow Meow immediately ran over. With a wave of her hand, she knocked down more than twenty fruits on the Mistwind Apricot tree and brought them back.
"Hehe."
Meow Meow smiled at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng flicked Meow Meow's head and said dotingly, "Oh, you!"
"How could this be?"
The Yang Family's younger sister had returned. She had plucked the fruits from the remaining Misty Wind Apricot Trees, but she could no longer taste the same flavor as the first time.
"Do you want to try it?"
Meow Meow gently waved her little hand, holding a Mistwind Apricot.
"Give it to me!"
Sister Yang took the Mistwind Apricot that Meow Meow tossed to her. Her eyes widened as soon as she tasted it.
"This is the taste. How do you know the Mistwind Apricots on that tree are delicious?"
Sister Yang naturally saw Meow Meow pluck all the Mistwind Apricots on that tree.
"Like I said, call me big sister if you want to eat them!" Meow Meow refused to budge.
"Call me big sister if you want. It's not like you'll lose a piece of meat!"
Yang Zhenling said. He couldn't see through Meow Meow's cultivation, but he knew that Meow Meow's real age was more than enough to be his sister's big sister.
"You're just a little girl. It'll be a waste for me to call you big sister!"
Sister Yang was already tempted, but her mouth was still stubborn.
"Little sister! How can you tell a cultivator's real age just by looking at their appearance? "
Yang Zhenling's helpless voice sounded. Sister Yang, who had been waiting for him to say this, opened her mouth and called out, "Big sister!"
"Ah, good girl!"
Meow Meow smiled proudly.
"You've called me big sister already. Can you tell me now?" Sister Yang said hatefully.
"Ingredients are divided into different grades …"
Meow Meow explained the classification of ingredients to the Yang Family's younger sister like an old man.
"So ingredients can be divided into different grades? In that case, the two Misty Wind Apricots with different tastes should belong to two different grades of ingredients? "Yang Family's younger sister asked.
"Of course! The Mistwind Apricot you're eating now and the Mistwind Apricot you're eating at the beginning are both of ordinary grade. As for the Mistwind Apricot that you think is slightly inferior, it's of inferior grade, "Meow Meow said.
"How do you differentiate between the grades of ingredients?" Sister Yang asked again.
"Use your heart. When you use your heart to understand the ingredients, you'll notice all kinds of differences."
Meow Meow patted Sister Yang's shoulder earnestly, then walked straight to Gu Zheng's side.
"Use my heart? Use my heart? "
Sister Yang muttered to herself as if she was possessed.
"Alright, little sister, let's continue on our way! How can some things be so easy to understand? If it were so easy to understand, everyone in the world would be geniuses! "
Yang Zhenling pulled Sister Yang, and the group continued on their way.
Unknowingly, it was already noon. During this period of time, they encountered more and more ordinary Mistwind Apricots. Although Gu Zheng still didn't collect them, almost everyone ate a lot, especially Sister Yang.
Furthermore, because they had walked too far, the others were still fine, but the Yang Family's younger sister's legs had already turned to jelly from walking.
"I can't walk anymore. I'm so hungry. I want to eat something cooked by Sect Master Gu. It's best if it's some kind of wild game, such as wild boar, pheasant, or wild rabbit," Sister Yang said with a bitter face.
"You ate at least twice as many Mistwind Apricots as we did. How can you be hungry so quickly?" Meow Meow laughed.
"Big sister! Mistwind Apricots aren't meat, nor are they food. They're just fruits that can't fill my stomach! I really want to eat some meat right now, or something like a staple food. "
Once Sister Yang started calling her big sister, Sister Yang didn't feel anything. Along the way, Meow Meow felt a special sense of accomplishment.
"It's also time for lunch. I remember the last time I came to pick Mistwind Apricots with the sect people, we hunted some wild game nearby at noon. At that time, there were quite a lot of wild rabbits, pheasants, and so on. It wasn't like now, where we haven't seen a single one after walking so far," Yang Zhenling said.
"It's easy to eat some wild game. I'm sure we'll be able to find it soon!"
Gu Zheng smiled faintly. Now that he was an immortal cultivator, it was very easy for him to find some wild game. He only needed to send out a strand of his divine sense, and he would be able to investigate a large area.
"So, Sect Master Gu is going to cook some wild game for us?" Sister Yang's eyes lit up.
"Yes! But I'm only responsible for cooking. As for finding it, it's up to you! "
Gu Zheng didn't want to expose his identity as an immortal cultivator, but he also didn't want to let the Yang siblings search. After all, who knew how long it would take for them to find wild game? He just wanted to stimulate Sister Yang's enthusiasm so that she could hurry up and move.
Sure enough, after hearing Gu Zheng's words, the Yang Family's girl immediately became spirited. She even imitated a hunting hound and quickly flapped her nose. She also let out a deep sniff sound, causing the others to laugh out loud.
Gu Zheng glanced at Meow Meow, and Meow Meow immediately understood.
"This way, I feel like there's definitely prey here!" Meow Meow led the way.
Everyone followed Meow Meow, and not long after, they heard the sound of cooing.
"Our luck is not bad. We actually came across a few turtledoves, and they're all ordinary ones!"
Gu Zheng pointed ahead. On the branches of a big tree, four turtledoves that looked very much like a lattice were cooing.
