Mortal bone

"Do you need to water some more?"

"Clap!..."

Just when Xu Taiping was about to find water, the clod he had used to cover the soybean seeds was suddenly pushed away by something.

"Huh? Sprout... Germinated? So fast!"

He squatted down curiously, but was stunned to find that the soybean that had just been planted in the ground had sprouted.

Not only that, after the bud broke through the ground, it began to grow stems and leaves at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then blossomed and bear fruit.

In just a moment, a mature Osmunda plant appeared in front of Xu Taiping.

This bean sprouts plant is about four feet high, its leaves are so emerald green that water drips out, and the three bean pods hanging on it are as transparent as jasper, anyone who looks at it will know that it is not ordinary.

"The opportunity that grandpa mentioned, could it be the beans in these three pods?"

Xu Taiping stretched out his hand in amazement, wanting to pick the three pods.

"brat."

And just when Xu Taiping stretched out his hand to the three bean pods, a very pleasant voice suddenly sounded from the bean pods in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Taiping only saw a mass of milky white brilliance emerging from the stems and leaves of the bean sprouts like smoke, and finally gathered in front of him into the figure of a beautiful fairy.

"Don't rush to pick it up."

Fairy smiled sweetly and looked at Xu Taiping who was already in a daze.

"You...you...you are a monster, and...you are still a fairy."

Xu Taiping, who finally came to his senses, tried his best to calm down his mind, but his voice still stuttered.

"Immortal? Maybe it used to be, but now, it can only be regarded as a ray of remnant soul, parasitic in this bean to survive."

The woman thought for a while and then smiled wryly.

"Little guy, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you, and I can't hurt you. I just want to make a deal with you when I show up at this moment."

She then said to Xu Taiping.

"trade?"

Xu Taiping was a little puzzled.

"My real name is Chu Lingyue. 600 years ago, my body was sealed and my soul was shattered because of being plotted against by my enemies. Only this ray of remnant soul survived by relying on this bean. Later, this bean traveled tens of thousands of miles. , fell into the hands of your grandfather, and finally your grandfather passed it on to you, and until today, you planted it in this spiritual land, and let the bean seed be reborn, so I was able to see the light of day again."

The extremely beautiful woman spoke to Xu Taiping sincerely.

"If I can't go up the mountain, fairy, wouldn't you want to stay in the beans all the time?"

Xu Taiping asked curiously.

Although he has a precocious temperament, he is a teenager after all, and his curiosity far outweighs his fear.

"Yes, and it's not just that I can only stay in the beans. In a year or two, when the spiritual power in the beans is completely dissipated, my remnant soul will probably disappear with it."

Chu Lingyue nodded, and did not hide from Xu Taiping.

"Then fairy, what did you mean by the deal you just mentioned?"

Xu Taiping did not ignore the point of the question because of curiosity.

"Can you just take one of the three bean pods on this bean sprouts and leave the other two to me?"

Chu Lingyue asked Xu Taiping seriously.

"According to what you said, fairy, only I can pick the pods on this bean sprouts?"

Xu Taiping blinked his big eyes and looked at Chu Lingyue.

"With such a smart grandson, Xu Zhi'an should be able to rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

Xu Taiping's words surprised Chu Lingyue, she smiled wryly, then nodded and said, "That's right, only those who plant it can pick the fruit."

"Then I understand."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"Since it's a transaction, what are you going to exchange with me, Fairy?"

He asked Chu Lingyue.

"If you can only choose one, I would like to tell you some of the secrets about this bean, as well as a prescription that can help Baigu practice."

Chu Lingyue said very seriously.

With the look in her eyes at this moment, it is obvious that she no longer treats Taiping like a child.

Hearing Chu Lingyue say that she has a prescription that can help Baigu practice, Xu Taiping's eyes suddenly flashed with joy.

"How did the fairy make me believe in you?"

Xu Taiping continued to ask with no expression on his face.

"I can give you the prescription first. After you try it, if you find it effective, it's not too late to trade with me."

Chu Lingyue said frankly.

Xu Taiping stared at Chu Lingyue's eyes without blinking, then nodded after a long time and said: "There's no need to try, I agree to the deal with the fairy."

"What? Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you?"

Seeing that Xu Taiping agreed so readily, Chu Lingyue felt a little strange.

"Grandpa said that after I planted that bean, I will get a chance. Now it seems that my chance should be you, fairy."

Xu Taiping replied seriously.

Chu Lingyue was startled for a moment, then covered her mouth with a smile and said:

"I can't see that you are quite good at talking, little guy, which is much better than your grandpa."

"Fairy, are you familiar with my grandfather?"

Xu Taiping suddenly asked curiously.

From Chu Lingyue's words, Xu Taiping could vaguely hear that she had actually communicated with her grandfather.

"I don't have much time to come out, so let me tell you about this bean first."

Chu Lingyue changed the subject.

"Ah."

Xu Taiping nodded, didn't bother with the question just now, just sat down cross-legged on the ground, pretending to be listening attentively.

"The bean your grandfather gave you earlier is also known as the Ksitigarbha fruit. It is a very mysterious spiritual thing. It is planted in the fairy mountain, and it can be used as the foundation to receive the spiritual energy of the fairy mountain. Unique treasures are born from its fruits."

Fairy Lingyue didn't show off, but explained directly.

"Fairy, what do you mean to say that if this seed is buried in different fairy mountains, the fruit it will eventually produce will be very different?"

While Xu Taiping was surprised, he also had a question.

"Yes."

Fairy Lingyue nodded approvingly.

"The spiritual power contained in each fairy mountain is different, just like you, thousands of people have thousands of faces, and because of this, the fruits of Earth Store Fruit on different mountains, and the treasures bred in the fruits are all different. is different."

She explained a sentence in more detail.

"This little soybean is so extraordinary, no wonder grandpa said it was a great opportunity."

After listening to Fairy Lingyue's detailed explanation, Xu Taiping was shocked.

His initial guess was that this soybean seed was at most some kind of fairy fruit or other treasure, but he didn't expect it to be the kind of god that could breed treasure.

"You pick one of the pods and open it."

Fairy Lingyue pointed to the three pods on the bean sprouts.
