Chapter 771: Do You Need Me to Give You a Ride?
"A few days ago, I went to Australia," Ge Dongxu brought up the matter of Australia.
"Did anything happen to Murong there?" Yang Yinhou asked with a raised eyebrow, concerned.
"There was a bit of trouble, but now it's all settled," Ge Dongxu replied, and briefly mentioned the matter.
Although Ge Dongxu spoke lightly, Yang Yinhou broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing it. After listening, he heavily patted the back of Ge Dongxu's hand and said, "Thank goodness you were there! Otherwise, the blow to your senior brother would have been great."
Knowing that Yang Yinhou and Ouyang Murong had a father-son-like relationship, Ge Dongxu naturally understood his feelings. He smiled and placed his hand on top of Yinhou's, reassuring him, "Don't worry, senior brother. It was previously my lack of foresight. Now, Murong has already reached the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation. I've also refined a protective magic artifact for him, so I think there shouldn't be any problems in the future."
"That's good to hear, thank you for your hard work, Dongxu," Yang Yinhou nodded and said gratefully.
"It's only right, don't forget I am Murong's Sect Leader Uncle," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
"Haha, that's true," Yang Yinhou laughed upon hearing this.
"How have you been, senior brother?" Ge Dongxu smiled and then asked Yang Yinhou with concern.
"In the early years, our master always said that I had talent, but my state of mind was not suitable, as I couldn't meditate quietly and was easily disturbed by emotions and the secular world. However, after being ambushed in the jungles of Myanmar, these decades of experience have refined the dust in my heart and greatly benefited my cultivation. Now I am making progress every day. However, the stagnation of the past decades has ultimately caused my body to age. Breaking through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation should not be a problem, but beyond the Seventh Layer, I have no confidence, even with your Spirit Gathering Jade Talisman. But I am already very satisfied," Yang Yinhou replied.
"If that is the case, we might need the power of medicine. Our Pill Talisman Sect, inheriting from our ancestor Ge Hong, is truly proficient in the Alchemy Technique," Ge Dongxu pondered upon hearing this.
"Do you have such a pill recipe for this?" Yang Yinhou's eyes suddenly brightened upon hearing this.
"Yes. However, it requires a Spiritual Medicine as the main herb," Ge Dongxu affirmed.
"Spiritual Medicine?" The brightness in Yang Yinhou's eyes gradually diminished.
Spiritual Medicines among plants are like jadeite among stones, being able to store and accumulate spirit energy.
However, their conditions of formation are far more stringent than those of jadeite, and they are extremely rare.
Wild ginseng and Lingzhi mushrooms, renowned among herbs, have a much higher chance of producing Spiritual Plants. However, even these prestigious herbs require long years and harsh growing conditions before they have a chance to evolve into Spiritual Medicines.
It goes without saying how rare and precious Spiritual Medicines are.
In his early years, when Yang Yinhou could not walk, he had thought of finding Spiritual Medicines for treatment. After decades, he spent countless manpower and resources, but he did not obtain even a single valuable clue or lead.
"Spiritual Medicines are indeed elusive!" After a long while, Yang Yinhou sighed deeply.
"With even wild mountain ginseng increasingly rare on land and hard to find, it is indeed true that Spiritual Medicines are elusive. However, there is still the vast undersea world. Maybe in a few years, if I can enter that realm, there is still hope to find a Spiritual Medicine. Moreover, senior brother, you are not entirely without hope of reaching the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation. Once you reach the Eighth Layer, you can open an Air Cyclone in your kidneys. The kidneys harbor the innate essence and are the basis of the innate. The Air Cyclone within the kidneys circulates endlessly, nourishing ceaselessly, gradually shifting from acquired to innate, transcending the mundane, which could make up for the previously delayed aging body," Ge Dongxu explained.
"The undersea world is not only difficult for humans to enter at the present, but even if one could enter, it certainly hides countless dangers. Your intention alone moves me deeply, and there is no need to mention the matter of Spiritual Plants anymore," Yang Yinhou said sternly.
"Haha, I won't mention it then. I believe that you can reach the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation through your own strength, senior brother," Ge Dongxu said with a smile, not wanting Yang Yinhou to worry.
The two brothers then exchanged their cultivation experiences until the sunset.
As the sun set in the west, Ge Dongxu stood up to take his leave.
Before departing, Ge Dongxu left some Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation Jade Talismans for Yang Yinhou.
With Yang Yinhou's current cultivation, he could already use the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation Jade Talismans.
...
Changxi County train station platform.
A train slowly came to a stop.
A woman with fluffy long curly hair, wearing a red long wool coat over black leggings and a wool sweater, looking very fashionable and sexy, pulled her suitcase off the train.
When Jiang Lili alighted from the train, she attracted a lot of attention.
The ladies envied her figure and were amazed by her fashion sense, while the men naturally gazed at her with shining eyes.
Jiang Lili's figure was not the tall and slender type seen in models; it was more voluptuous. The body-hugging wool coat perfectly outlined her lofty peaks and perky buttocks, exuding a youthful and healthy beauty.
After getting off the train and seeing the familiar scene in front of her, Jiang Lili felt a mixture of emotions.
Although her relationship with Ge Dongxu had been confirmed, deep down she was still very cautious.
She was afraid that a careless act might displease Ge Dongxu and shatter this hard-won love like a beautiful soap bubble.
So, when the winter break came, Ge Dongxu didn't call her, and she didn't dare to act like a girl in love, calling him to ask whether he was coming home, let alone asking him to come to fetch her.
Right now, being able to see Ge Dongxu occasionally and knowing she had a place in his heart was enough to satisfy Jiang Lili.
From a certain perspective, Jiang Lili's mindset was somewhat similar to Daisy's.
Standing in line at the exit, she watched as one by one, people in front of her were picked up by their families. Some were obviously couples; the woman handing her luggage to the man, then holding his hand with a blissful expression, made Jiang Lili feel a moment of envy and longing.
If one day, Brother Xu was also waiting for me at the exit...
No, no, no, Jiang Lili, you mustn't overstep, you mustn't be greedy, you already have enough...
Reminding herself within, Jiang Lili, with her head bowed, dragged her suitcase out of the exit.
"Hey, beauty, where are you headed? Do you need a ride?" Just as Jiang Lili was walking out with her head down, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her ear.
At the sound of this voice, Jiang Lili's delicate body trembled; she abruptly raised her head, then saw that familiar face smiling at her.
Seeing the face that haunted her dreams suddenly appear at the most unexpected time, Jiang Lili stared at Ge Dongxu foolishly. Tears started flowing uncontrollably, then she suddenly screamed "Ah!" and threw herself into Ge Dongxu's arms, holding him tightly, and pressing her flushed lips crazily against his.
