Chapter 226 Green Valley
A few days later, Bai Fei ended his retreat. The reason why he chose to practice in seclusion at such a special moment in such a place was because a few days ago, he had a faint feeling that he had signs of a breakthrough, but unfortunately, he failed to do so in the end. At this level, it was really not that easy to get to the next level. In the end, he couldn't do anything, so he had to give up.
After stretching his body comfortably, Bai Fei opened the door and walked out.
"Brother Bai!"
After walking aimlessly for a while, a woman walked over with joy on her face. It was Meng Mengtong, the senior sister of Qingxuanzhai.
"Hello, Miss Meng, what are you—" Bai Fei said strangely when he saw her carrying the basket.
"Brother Bai, please wait a moment. I will deliver this meal first, and I will take you to Qinggu Valley when I get back." Meng Mengtong said with a little apology without explaining.
"Miss Meng, if you please, I'll wait for you here." Bai Fei remembered that before retreating, he accidentally mentioned that he wanted to visit Qinggu Valley, but he didn't expect that this girl would always remember it in his heart.
"Well, Brother Bai, I'll be back soon."
Watching Meng Mengtong leave quickly, Bai Fei felt a little strange in his heart. She was the senior sister of Qingxuanzhai. How could she have to do such a small thing as delivering food? Moreover, the other party needs these things, and his cultivation level is obviously not high. However, he just thought about it and did not dwell on it.
Not long after, Meng Mengtong came back.
"Brother Bai, let's go, I'll take you to Qinggu Valley!"
"Then there's Miss Lao Meng."
This Qinggu Valley is located in the southeast of Qingxuanzhai, relatively close to Tiannu Bay. The reason why Bai Fei wanted to go to the Green Valley to see it was because the green-red fruit that could allow people who had not passed through the fourth inner demon tribulation to survive in the ice and snow in the far north was there. He had made up his mind early on that no matter how the green and red fruits were distributed, he would get at least one, and this one was naturally prepared for Li Yibai.
Qinggu Valley is not close to Qingxuanzhai, and based on their cultivation, it took them most of the day. Of course, this is not unrelated to the fact that Bai Fei did not use all his speed. According to Meng Mengtong's introduction, three days before the green and red fruits mature, the major forces in the northern continent will send representatives to the Qinggu Valley to compete for the ownership of the green and red fruits. Because the distribution method this time is different from the past, the competition will become more intense.
At this time, outside the Qinggu Valley, a venue dedicated to the competition had already been set up, but not many people were seen. It was probably too early before the scheduled time, and those representatives had not yet arrived.
"Sister!"
Meng Mengtong introduced Bai Fei all the way, and soon the two of them came to the mouth of the valley. At the mouth of the valley, three men and one woman were responsible for garrisoning. When they saw Meng Mengtong arriving, they immediately said respectfully.
Bai Fei saw that the realm of the four people was higher than that of Meng Mengtong. Qingxuanzhai thought that Qingxuanzhai valued the green and red trees in the valley. Although Qingxuanzhai had always been responsible for the protection and vigilance of Qingxuan Valley, he had never done so in the past. Someone dared to trespass, but no accident occurred. Qingxuanzhai still sent four people with advanced cultivation to guard it.
"Sister, are you going to enter the valley?" one of them asked carefully.
"Yes." Meng Mengtong responded casually, and the four people immediately moved out of the way.
"Brother Bai, let's go."
Just as Bai Fei was about to take a step forward, he found that the four people immediately showed vigilant expressions, which made him feel a little funny.
"Brother Bai is my... my friend. Our coming here has been approved by Master, so you can rest assured." Meng Mengtong said.
"Oh." The four of them seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the person who spoke before said again, "Sister, we can't enter at will.
Gu, be careful yourself. "
Entering the valley, Bai Fei was immediately intoxicated by the greenery. He couldn't help but stop and took a few deep breaths. Meng Mengtong did not rush him.
Along the way, Bai Fei discovered that there were no rare things in the Qinggu Valley, and he was a little surprised. Soon, under the guidance of Meng Mengtong, they quickly arrived at their destination.
"Brother Bai, look, that's the green and red tree!"
In a recessed area, a small artificially planted tree flutters in the wind. There are no weeds or branches around it. At first glance, it looks very strange.
"careful!"
Bai Fei jumped down a mountain col, looked at the frail figure, and couldn't help but remind him, and at the same time, he stretched out his hand.
Meng Mengtong's face turned red, but she did not refuse. She generously put her slender hand in Bai Fei's palm and landed lightly beside him.
I don't know whether they forgot their own abilities or couldn't bear to use their skills to destroy the natural scenery here. They supported each other and carefully jumped over the mountain cols one after another, and finally reached the depression and came to the green and red trees.
The green and red tree is only as tall as a person, with lush leaves. Surrounded by these tender green leaves, the eighteen green and red fruits emit an invisible energy. Looking at these green and red fruits, Bai Fei could sense that they were scrambling to absorb the nutrients in the green valley. On the surface, this small green and red fruit, who would have thought that it would have such great energy. , can actually make people resist the cold attack for three months? Heaven and earth breed spiritual beings, which is really beyond human imagination!
The two sat on the floor with no intention of leaving immediately.
"Miss Meng, have you encountered any difficulties in cultivation?" Bai Fei suddenly said.
"My talent is not good, so I make Brother Bai laugh." Meng Mengtong's heart moved, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Oh." Bai Fei didn't know how to comfort her. If it was because of any difficulties she encountered in cultivation, he would be willing to help her. But if it was because of his talent, even if he had many ways, he could only sigh in the end. , after all, if a person does not have a good talent for cultivation and relies solely on external forces to grow, although it can improve his level, he will not be able to maintain his true strength at the same level, which will do more harm than good to his future growth.
"If it weren't for the help of noble people, maybe I wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the Immortal Saint Assembly."
Meng Mengtong sighed, and as she spoke, she suddenly thought of the mysterious cave. What kind of existence was hidden there? Without those two encounters, how could she have achieved what she has today?
She didn't know that just when she thought of the cave, there were two old figures standing in the cave, discussing something.
"Brother Bai, are you prepared to use force to resolve your matter?" Meng Mengtong glanced at Bai Fei and asked tentatively.
"This is indeed what I originally thought, but some people said that you, Qingxuanzhai, would find a peaceful solution, so..." Bai Fei listened to her and seemed to know something, so he didn't hide it.
"Oh, according to Master, it seems that we don't have the person you are looking for in Qingxuanzhai? Could it be that..." For some reason, the mysterious cave suddenly appeared in Meng Mengtong's mind.
"What?" Bai Fei said with a thought.
"No...it's nothing." Meng Mengtong said slightly panicked.
Bai Fei was about to ask more questions when he suddenly heard a very strange sound. Apparently, Meng Mengtong also heard it. The two turned around sharply, their eyes fell under the green and red tree, they immediately stood up and walked over quickly.
"This..." Meng Mengtong said in shock.
"Miss Meng, didn't you say that it will take more than a month for the green and red fruits to fully mature?" Bai Fei said in surprise.
"I don't know either. For some reason, this green and red fruit has matured ahead of schedule. It seems that I have to report it to Master immediately."
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"Wait a minute." Bai Fei suddenly said.
"Brother Bai, this matter is not trivial. If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, once all these green and red fruits mature in advance, they will all be absorbed by the soil bags here after they fall to the ground. You see, the green and red fruit that just fell has slowed down. Slow rot..." Meng Mengtong said anxiously.
Bai Fei took a closer look and saw that the green-red fruit was really rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like what he had seen before in the Shentian Ring.
"Miss Meng, is there anything particular about the utensils used to hold green and red fruits?"
"Brother Bai, you..."
"We can't leave here because the green-red fruit fell to the ground and all its nutrients have been absorbed by the green-red tree. I think the remaining seventeen green-red fruits will all mature in a short time. Once we leave here..."
"Ah!" Meng Mengtong had never thought about this problem. He was very anxious when he heard that. When he saw Bai Fei's calm look, he couldn't help but exhale and said, "This green and red fruit can only be collected with jade or porcelain." , otherwise, it will rot as quickly as before. We have prepared these special storage containers, but I didn’t bring them. What should I do now?”
"It seems like that's the only way it can be."
Bai Fei's storage ring did contain jade, but the capacity was not large, and it was obviously not enough to hold the small green and red fruits, so he had to focus on the porcelain bottles that were originally filled with stalactite liquid and were now empty. However, although the porcelain bottle was large, The mouth of the bottle is surprisingly small. He muttered to himself, waved his hand, and suddenly seventeen porcelain bottles were placed in front of him. He picked up a porcelain bottle with his left hand, raised his right hand and extended a finger. Like a knife, he slowly turned the bottle with his left hand. In a moment, he cut off a small half of the porcelain bottle. The cut was smooth and flat, as if it was made by nature.
Bai Fei saw that the mouth of the bottle could fully accommodate the green and red fruits, so he picked up another porcelain vase and continued to cut it in the same way. After a while, all seventeen porcelain vases had been transformed by him, solving the urgent need for utensils to store the green and red fruits. He looked at Meng Mengtong, smiled slightly and said: "Miss Meng, it seems we have to wait and see!"
"Brother Bai, thank you!"
Meng Mengtong had already been stunned. Thinking back to the consequences of all the green and red fruits falling to the ground and rotting, she broke into a cold sweat. Seeing that the problem was temporarily solved, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and she suppressed the idea of leaving here.
As Bai Fei expected, an hour later, another green and red fruit melon fell off its ripe stem and was caught by Bai Fei, who had been waiting nearby, in a modified porcelain vase. Seeing that it was as Bai Fei expected, Meng Mengtong didn't dare to leave even half a step away. She didn't dare to pay attention for a moment away from the green and red fruits that she didn't know when they would fall.
Five days later, all seventeen green and red fruits fell and were put into porcelain vases by Bai Fei and Meng Mengtong. Until this time, a stone in Meng Mengtong's heart finally fell to the ground. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. If they hadn't come here, or if she had left when the first green-red fruit fell, the final result would have been the same. When she thought about it, what if more than a month later, all the major forces gathered together? , but not a single Qinghong Guo was left under the guard of Qingxuanzhai, so... thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Bai Fei, and deep gratitude surged in her heart.
"Miss Meng, this green and red fruit..." Bai Fei asked with a slight smile.
"Brother Bai, leave it where you are!" Seeing his smile, Meng Mengtong's heart jumped for no reason and she said quickly.
"Okay, I'll keep it for now, thank you for your trust."
