Chapter 209 Erecting a Monument
Chapter 209 Erecting a Monument
On the Wanqiu Peak, Xiao Tian, Lin Xiu and others were drinking tea with Gu Chenyu. Their faces were flushed and white mist was floating above their heads. Especially Li Miner and Li Yue'e, who had low cultivation, both of them had blushes on their faces.
"Brother, what is this? I feel a little bloated and painful in my soul, and my headache is splitting!" Lin Xiu covered his head with his hands, his expression somewhat painful.
"Who told you to drink a whole pot of tea by yourself? This is not wine. Tea should be savored slowly, especially such a tonic. You actually drank a whole pot of it at once. Go and have a headache over there." Xiao Tian said unhappily. He smelled the fragrance of tea from far away, but Lin Xiu got there first and drank up the tea in one gulp.
"Oh, I can't do it anymore. I have to meditate and refine my energy. You two can chat first."
Lin Xiu sat cross-legged and refined it, which made Xiao Tian and Gu Chenyu laugh. It seemed that this huge power really made him suffer.
Gu Chenyu shook his head. Lao Lin probably felt that this was fine wine, as he drank the entire pot in one gulp. You have to know that Gu Chenyu could only drink this stuff one cup at a time, so it would be strange if he didn't feel uncomfortable after drinking so much at once.
"But where did this tea come from? The quality is definitely not low. Especially this kind of thing that can enhance the power of the soul, it is very rare in the Dawu Dynasty." Xiao Tian asked curiously.
"Nothing, I learned it from the Sect Master, nothing special, just practice makes perfect."
Gu Chenyu smiled faintly, but he didn't know that the two people on the main peak had ashen faces. A box of tea was taken away by Gu Chenyu without leaving anything for them.
Xiao Tian laughed loudly, he was worthy of being the eldest brother, he could even drink tea with the sect leader at the same table, and he even took a box of tea leaves before leaving. His eyes were a little fiery, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Don't look at me like that. Here, you and Lao Lin each have one. But it would be a waste if Lao Lin drinks the tea, so give him less."
"Haha, in that case, then I thank you, big brother." Xiao Tian was very happy. He liked to taste tea, especially this kind of good tea.
"Let's drink slowly. He Nanxiang is almost at the Heavenly Man Realm, so why does he close his eyes and practice after drinking one glass?"
"After all, he hasn't cultivated a spirit and soul, so there is still some gap between him and us. But it doesn't matter. He should be able to digest it completely in a while."
He Nanxiang's face was rosy, and the white mist above her head dissipated, which showed that the tea was completely refined. She sat back in her original seat a little embarrassedly. She had previously thought that this tea was only for self-cultivation, but she did not expect that after taking a sip, her soul would be greatly improved.
"Thank you, Peak Master."
"You're welcome. We are all good friends. And thanks to your help in managing Wanqiu Peak during this period, you have wasted a lot of time practicing. This is the benefit you deserve." Gu Chenyu smiled and nodded. He did not have the airs of a peak master and he was always generous to his friends.
Lin Xiu also finished refining. He stood up and sat back in his original position instantly. He scratched his head and said, "I thought it was tea-flavored wine. I have been busy taking care of Wanqiu Peak recently, so I haven't drunk any wine. I drank it all because I was greedy."
"Hahaha."
Several people were amused by Lin Xiu. Tea-flavored wine was just something they could not understand at the highest level.
"Old Lin, you are such a fool. If this is good wine, I can only make one pot. It must be unpleasant to feel like your head is about to explode."
Gu Chenyu laughed loudly. He had to admit that Lin Xiu's train of thought was sometimes really novel and he could always do some incredible things.
"Come, there's still half a pot here, keep drinking." Xiao Tian joked. He wanted to see how much Lin Xiu could drink at one time, and whether he could learn his lesson.
Lin Xiu shook his head like a rattle and immediately refused, "I haven't digested all the medicine yet. I dare not drink any more, or I will lose my life."
Several people burst into laughter again, waking up Li Yue'e who was refining the medicine, but fortunately she had already refined it completely.
"What is this? It actually increased my soul power so much instantly. It looks like I will be able to reach the Venerable Realm soon."
"Haha, congratulations in advance."
"Tell me quickly, what delicious food is this?" Li Yue'e pressed, her tone somewhat coquettish.
"I won't tell you, you just need to know that this is a good thing."
Gu Chenyu pretended to be mysterious and took out a little bit of tea and gave it to her, enough for four or five brews.
"It's just a few leaves, why are you so stingy?"
"Oh my god, this is so stingy, I don't even have much, this thing is so valuable."
.........
The group enjoyed drinking tea very much. Li Qiner, who only took a sip, digested the tea completely after they finished drinking it. Her complexion was obviously much better.
"Good brother, thank you very much."
"Why are you being so polite? What we at Wanqiu Peak lack the least is resources. When your cultivation level improves in the future, you can go and avenge the Li family yourself."
"I heard from Junior Sister Yue'e that most of the Li family members are not good people. If it weren't for my status, I would have wanted to wipe them out." Lin Xiu was in high spirits. He was very good at fighting. He could even shake an egg yolk apart.
"There is a Monarch Realm cultivator sleeping underground. Do you want us to erect a monument for you?"
"This, this, this, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Lin Xiu was very aware of the situation. If he could win, he would fight to the death. If he couldn't win, he would run away for his life. However, when faced with a critical moment, he could even say that he had a 20% chance of killing the enemy when he was 80% sure of death. It has to be said that he was really brave.
"We have talked enough, go back and rest. I guess you will be in seclusion for a while, so you should seize the opportunity and quickly improve your realm."
Everyone took their leave and returned to their residence to meditate. It would indeed take a lot of time to refine the medicinal power, so they had to make good use of their time.
Gu Qingxue slept soundly while holding a teapot. This kind of soul medicine was most suitable for cultivators who were going through the spiritual tribulation. It could stabilize the soul and let her sleep more peacefully.
"Erhei, thank you for your hard work during this period, but I have something else to go out for, so I'll leave her to your care."
Erhei, who was used as a pillow by Gu Qingxue, hummed in agreement. He was lively by nature and liked to run around, but he actually took care of the children for Gu Chenyu and served as her mount. If she had not had a close relationship with Gu Chenyu, he would not have bothered to care about other people's lives.
"I'll give you good food when the time comes, but you have to be obedient."
Gu Chenyu touched its head, and Erhei didn't dare to move for fear of waking up Gu Qingxue. Seeing that Gu Chenyu was considerate enough to cover Gu Qingxue with a quilt, there was indescribable envy in its eyes.
"Hot, no."
Gu Qingxue kicked the quilt away, and Gu Chenyu frowned. This was not a good habit. He had to cover his eyes anyway...
After leaving Wanqiu Peak, Gu Chenyu came to Duanhun Mountain holding a jar. He took a sip of wine and there was some sadness in his eyes. This was the place where the monks of Qingming Sect were buried.
"Brother Zhan Yun... has returned home."
Gu Chenyu dug a deep pit. He tremblingly placed the urn containing Bai Zhanyun's ashes into it, tears welling up in his eyes.
"I haven't found your family, and there is no Taoist companion of yours on Wanqiu Peak... It seems that I have to erect a monument for you."
After taking a sip of wine, Gu Chenyu gathered the earth spirit power and integrated the nearby gravel to make a tombstone. He inscribed "The tomb of my good friend Bai Zhanyun, built by my brother Gu Chenyu."
After the tombstone was erected, Gu Chenyu's face showed no emotion. He suddenly crossed out his own name and changed it to "Brother Zhu Batian Li."
After all, Bai Zhanyun only knew Wanqiu Peak’s senior brother Zhu Batian, not his real name Gu Chenyu. He spent the whole night alone in the wind, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
There were pieces of undried paper money on the ground. These were all mundane things he bought in Tianyun City. He had never forgotten to bury Bai Zhanyun.
The morning light was dim, Gu Chenyu sighed, lit three incense sticks and bowed deeply: "Brother Zhan Yun, have a safe journey."
