Morning Star

"Ouch~ I'm so tired~" Chujiu lay on the bed and complained.

Luoluo stood aside and looked down worriedly. In fact, she wanted to give Chujiu a massage, but Chujiu stopped her. He said that she had an injury on her hand and needed to take good care of it.

She had no choice but to watch.

After massaging Xiang Tingqin's shoulders this morning, I rested for a while and then started watering the plants again.

Finally it was lunch time, and after lunch it was time to water the remaining plants. By this time it was almost dark when we finished watering.

Unexpectedly, one day on the ninth day of the first lunar month, she would be so tired from watering the plants that she would fall down on the bed.

Although Chujiu was lying on the bed, his mind was working rapidly.

The next day, Xiang Tingqin was planting new spiritual herbs in the spiritual medicine garden, and Chujiu was helping.

Chujiu was digging a hole while following Xiang Tingqin to learn about the elixir.

At this time, Chujiu took out a snow fruit from the storage ring given by Mo Xinglan and took the opportunity to ask: "Mother, when I was with Mr. Mo before, he told me that this is a top-grade spiritual fruit, but I ate several before and didn't think it was of any use?"

Anyway, she really didn't feel any difference after eating it. The only difference was that it tasted better than ordinary fruits.

Xiang Tingqin was surprised when she saw Chujiu casually took out a high-quality spiritual fruit. She looked at Chujiu and then at the snow fruit in her hand: "You, where did you get the snow fruit? This is a high-quality spiritual fruit that is in short supply."

Chujiu was very satisfied with Xiang Tingqin's reaction, but she had to act like she knew nothing and was clueless.

So Chujiu answered seriously: "I found this in a monster cave when Mr. Mo and I were in the Abyss Valley. There were several of them, and I ate two because I was so hungry."

Monsters have a strong sense of spiritual medicines. Generally, where there are high-quality spiritual medicines, there will be monsters living around them. Therefore, it is normal and common to see high-quality spiritual fruits in monster caves.

That's why Xiang Tingqin didn't doubt her much. But she still had a question, that is, the monsters near the top-grade spiritual fruits were generally very strong, so how did she get the top-grade spiritual fruits from the monsters' caves?

"In a monster's cave? Usually, monsters above level seven live around these top-grade spiritual fruits. How did you two manage to get the spiritual fruits from their caves?"

Chujiu smiled smugly in her heart, knowing that she would ask this question. Fortunately, she was prepared in advance. But how powerful is a seventh-level monster? Is that tiger so powerful that it can be considered a seventh-level monster? Mo Xinglan was able to kill that tiger, so how strong is he?

"Speaking of this, it was a coincidence that the strange tiger living nearby was injured. And it was raining at that time, so we had to find a place to shelter from the rain. The only place around us that could shelter from the rain was the strange tiger's cave. Then we went in, and then Master Mo and I joined forces to kill the strange tiger. The snow fruits in the cave naturally belonged to us." Chujiu said while pretending to recall.

If Xiang Tingqin's statement is correct, then the strange tiger should be considered a monster living around the snow fruit.

After hearing Chujiu's answer, Xiang Tingqin had a new doubt: "How did you know that the strange tiger was injured?"

"There was a big pool of blood at the entrance of its cave, and there was also a strong smell of blood, it was so obvious." Chujiu continued to pretend to recall.

Xiang Tingqin secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily you encountered a strange tiger, and it was injured. If you had encountered a three-headed dragon, or an uninjured strange tiger, you two would have been finished."

Fortunately, they were lucky.

"The three-headed dragon is more powerful than the strange tiger? How powerful are they?"

If we know the strength of these two monsters, can we roughly know the strength of Mo Xinglan?

Xiang Tingqin looked at Chujiu and sighed helplessly, and began to patiently teach Chujiu: "Most of the monsters living around high-quality spiritual fruits like snow fruits are at level seven or above. The strength of a level seven monster is equivalent to that of a beginner in the Heavenly Spirit Realm."

Chujiu nodded. The strength of that evil-hearted evildoer was at the initial stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

Seventeen years old, the initial stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. This is an existence that defies the heavens.

"What about the three-headed dragon?"

“Most snow fruit trees grow together with another high-quality spiritual fruit, the yellow dragon fruit tree. When the two spiritual fruit trees grow together, the color of the two spiritual fruits will be excellent when they mature.

Judging from the quality of the snow fruit you took out, there should be a yellow dragon fruit tree next to it. Most three-headed dragons live around snow fruits and yellow dragon fruits. They are usually at level eight or above.

An eighth-level demon beast is equivalent to a mid-level Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator. The strength of people in the same realm at different times can vary greatly. You should know that a mid-level Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator can easily beat a cultivator in the early stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm." Xiang Tingqin continued to explain.

So according to what Xiang Tingqin said, there should be another three-headed dragon in the Abyss Valley. However, she and the black-hearted monster stayed in the Abyss Valley for three days and never saw the three-headed dragon, or encountered a three-headed dragon looking for trouble.

Thinking of this, Chujiu was shocked. Could it be that the three-headed dragon had been killed by the evil monster?

If you think in this way, the strength of the black-hearted monster should be around the middle stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. No wonder the black-hearted monster was able to catch up with her fleeing steps in an instant even though he was so seriously injured. In other words, the black-hearted monster could have killed her instantly!

"Fortunately, I didn't encounter the three-headed dragon." Chujiu was so scared that he covered his heart and let out a breath.

She was really lucky, she was not killed by the evil monster.

However, in Xiang Tingqin's eyes, she was frightened by the three-headed dragon.

Thinking about it, he felt that this could also be considered an experience. He said seriously, "Practice well in the future. Even if your aptitude is poor, you must have basic self-defense skills. I don't know if you have caused trouble to the third young master of the Mo family. It's generous of him not to despise you."

Chujiu nodded repeatedly, but in her heart she was thinking that he was generous enough not to kill her. And he didn't dislike her at all. He always disliked her. His eyes were filled with dislike for her all the time.

"Xiaojiu will remember what mother said and practice well."

Afterwards, Chujiu gave Xiang Tingqin the storage ring with the snow fruit in it. She continued to listen to Xiang Tingqin popularizing various information to her.

Another day passed like this. Today she did not go to find Xiang Tingqin, but was really practicing seriously. Rather than practicing, it would be better to say that she was exercising her body.

She had such poor aptitude that it was the same whether she practiced or not.

She thought she would spend the day alone with Luoluo in her own yard, but unexpectedly Chu Congnan came to her yard.

Although this cheap daddy's attitude towards her had become much better in the past few days, she really didn't expect that he would come to her on his own.

Chujiu saw Chu Congnan coming to the yard and stopped exercising: "Dad, why are you here?"

Chu Congnan saw a trace of relief on Chujiu's face when he saw that she was exercising so rarely. He walked up to Chujiu and asked, "Did your mother say yesterday that you gave her the snow fruit?"

"Yes. I gave it to my mother." Chujiu understood. So this is why he came. He is really a cheap father who never comes to visit for no reason.

"Your mother also said that you ate a few? Is that true?"

"Yeah, I ate two." Chujiu replied according to what he said to Xiang Tingqin yesterday.

What's going on? Are they going to drag her out and criticize her? Although her eating like that was quite wasteful, she didn't know it at the time.

Unexpectedly, Chu Congnan did not scold her as she expected.

"Have you felt any changes in yourself?"

Chujiu was ready to scold her, but when she asked this question, she was slightly stunned: "...I didn't feel any changes."

Chu Congnan saw that she didn't seem to be lying: "Think about it carefully."

"?" Chu Jiu was confused by the fact that Chu Congnan wanted her to remember so much.

So I really thought carefully about how my body felt after eating the snow fruit.

Chu Congnan waited patiently for Chujiu to recall.

At this moment, Chujiu's eyes lit up, and she really remembered some things.

Because she was really hungry at the time, she was injured and most importantly, there was someone next to her who could kill her at any time, so she completely ignored the matter.

"I remember that the injuries on my body healed after a short period of time, and I felt much more energetic. Well... that's all." Chujiu said as he recalled.

Chu Congnan nodded: "It seems that the elixir is not useless to you. It's fine as long as it's useful."

"?" What did he mean by that? Why did she feel that there was some hidden reason behind his words, as if there was a reason why her cultivation aptitude was so poor.

"Then Dad, can I improve my own qualifications through spiritual medicine? Or practice something?" No matter what the matter is, just ask casually.

Unexpectedly, Chu Congnan sighed and shook his head: "The best a panacea can do for you is to strengthen your body, unless..."

Chu Congnan paused at this point, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Chujiu frowned slightly: "Unless what?"

Chu Congnan sighed again: "Forget it, it doesn't matter what I said. Unless you have the marrow cleansing pill, you will have to live like this for the rest of your life."
