While Qin Lingyu and Yu Wanrou "embraced each other affectionately" with their own thoughts, Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen also embarked on the road to find the snake-shaped fruit.
But the snake-shaped fruit was so hard to find. It took Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen three days to find one. Moreover, there are often some ferocious spiritual beasts appearing next to the snake-shaped fruit. Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen encountered such one. They spent all their efforts to beat the strange-looking spirit beast to death, and even got a small kernel from the spirit beast's belly.
A spiritual beast with a core must be at least fifth-grade mid-level or above. If Ye Xiuwen was alone, he might have to fight for half his life to kill the opponent. Fortunately, Jun Xiaomo was with him, and there were many powerful talismans in the storage ring, so he was only slightly injured.
That night, they roasted the meat of the spiritual beast.
"Although this spiritual beast looks strange, it still tastes pretty good, and the meat is fresh and tough." Jun Xiaomo commented with a smile.
"Yes." Ye Xiuwen responded softly. Even though he was in the wild, his movements when eating were still very graceful.
In the light of the dancing fire, his eyes fell on Jun Xiaomo. Jun Xiaomo did not notice this because he was concentrating on roasting meat.
Ye Xiuwen thought of everything he had spent with his junior sisters over the past year or so, not only with "Jun Xiaomo" but also with "Yao Mo".
The memory of meeting my junior sister for the first time when I was a boy is gradually fading away, replaced by an impression that is becoming more and more vivid now.
Even if he closed his eyes, he could clearly picture his little junior sister's smile in his mind.
Pure, smart and bright, people's mood will inevitably be affected and made happy.
He knew that Jun Xiaomo's weight in his heart was increasing day by day, but Ye Xiuwen never thought deeply about what the other side of this weight gain meant.
I don’t dare, but I also don’t want to.
Ye Xiuwen enjoyed getting along with each other without any grudges at this moment. He didn't know if the relationship between him and Jun Xiaomo could return to what it was now after breaking the tranquility.
Let's do this for now, Ye Xiuwen thought silently, his eyes darkened for a moment, then gradually calmed down.
"Senior brother, you are distracted again." Jun Xiaomo leaned his head over and said with puffed cheeks.
"Really? I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something." Ye Xiuwen gave Jun Xiaomo a gentle and slightly apologetic smile.
"No need to say I'm sorry, who of us is following the other. But... I'm really curious, senior brother, what are you thinking about, why are you so lost in thought?" Jun Xiaomo blinked, his bright eyes seemed to be filled with "Talk about it" "Hey, let me gossip".
There was a complicated expression in Ye Xiuwen's gentle smile, but in the night and firelight, such subtle changes were not obvious.
He thought for a while and found another topic.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just feel like there are signs of a breakthrough in my cultivation these days." Ye Xiuwen said quietly.
"Really?! That's really great! Senior brother, after you break through the twelfth level of Qi training, you will reach the foundation building stage!" Jun Xiaomo said happily.
During this trip to the sect, in addition to completing the sect's mission, the success of foundation building is another major event. It can even be said that foundation building is more important than completing the mission.
"It seems like we have to prepare some things, such as defensive formations and so on. Let me think about it." Jun Xiaomo took out a paper and pen from the storage ring and started to write and draw. .
Foundation building is accompanied by certain dangers. Compared with the improvement of Qi training level, it is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. During this period, it is best to have some elixirs to sort out the boiling and surging spiritual energy in the body. At the same time, you must also find A relatively safe and quiet place to consolidate your cultivation.
In fact, Ye Xiuwen had already prepared all these things before leaving the sect, and the storage ring also contained two Foundation Building Pills given to him by Jun Linxuan.
He never did anything unprepared.
However, seeing Jun Xiaomo happily helping him take care of everything, Ye Xiuwen suddenly couldn't bear to interrupt him.
Jun Xiaomo kept writing, and he kept watching. Even Ye Xiuwen himself didn't know how gentle his expression was.
"Brother, look! How did I write?" Jun Xiaomo held up what he wrote in front of Ye Xiuwen like a treasure.
Ye Xiuwen took the paper. He originally thought that this little girl had never been exposed to the knowledge of foundation building, and maybe the things she wrote were all here and there.
No matter what, he was ready to praise Jun Xiaomo, because just talking about his thoughts was enough.
However, after he read what Jun Xiaomo wrote, Ye Xiuwen had to admit that Jun Xiaomo knew the key points of foundation building as well as he did, and the list of materials was very comprehensive.
"It's very well written, thank you Xiaomo." Ye Xiuwen curled his lips and patted Jun Xiaomo's hair.
Jun Xiaomo scratched his cheek in embarrassment. As a result, the ink on his hand got on his cheek, and a dark ink stain suddenly appeared on his fair face.
The curve of Ye Xiuwen's lips deepened, and he reached out his hand to help Jun Xiaomo wipe away the ink on her cheek.
Jun Xiaomo suddenly felt that somewhere on his face was burning. She reflexively looked away, her eyes wandering to other places.
Came to the piece of paper in Ye Xiuwen's hand.
"Huh? Is there anything else stuck in the paper?" Jun Xiaomo was stunned, and with sharp eyes he noticed that there seemed to be an extra corner under the paper.
When Jun Xiaomo said this, Ye Xiuwen also noticed it. He took out the paper below and found that there were densely written things on it.
"It turns out that when I took out the blank paper, I also brought out one..." Jun Xiaomo muttered.
"What is this?" Ye Xiuwen looked at the content written on the paper and found that it was an alchemy formula with the names of herbal medicines densely written on it.
Among them were several medicines that Ye Xiuwen was very familiar with.
Black moon grass, pimple fruit, psychedelic flower...
Ye Xiuwen's mind moved slightly, and an answer was about to come out -
Sure enough, Jun Xiaomo later answered his question: "This is a prescription that can cure the scar on your face, senior brother. By the way, there are really too many things going on during this period. The most difficult parts of this prescription are We have already obtained the medicinal herbs, and when we leave here we can help you, senior brother, to refine the medicine."
Jun Xiaomo said with a crooked eyebrow, obviously looking forward to the day when Ye Xiuwen completely recovered.
Ye Xiuwen sighed softly, rubbed Jun Xiaomo's hair helplessly and amusedly, and said, "I didn't expect you, Xiaomo, to care more about the scar on my face than I do."
"I don't care about it!" Jun Xiaomo explained hastily, fearing that Ye Xiuwen would think wrong again, "I just don't want to see those people looking at you with strange eyes anymore!" With the last sentence, Jun Xiaomo's tone was a bit angry, and he felt sorry for Ye Xiuwen.
Ye Xiuwen felt a little moved in his heart. He flicked Jun Xiaomo's forehead gently and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Senior brother doesn't blame you."
Jun Xiaomo rubbed the area where he was hit and muttered: "I thought you misunderstood, senior brother..."
Because Ye Xiuwen in his previous life was extremely sensitive to this matter, Jun Xiaomo even had lingering fears.
Ye Xiuwen's eyes softened a bit again, and he said calmly: "I understand."
Yes, he knew very well that Jun Xiaomo had never minded the scar on his face, let alone looked at him strangely because of his hideous and terrifying face.
It's precisely because he understands that he allows the other party to enter his heart step by step, right
The next day, Jun Xiaomo woke up leaning on Ye Xiuwen's shoulder. If there were other people around, they might think the behavior between the two people was too ambiguous, but Jun Xiaomo didn't think it was anything. She was already used to this kind of intimacy when she was still using the identity of "Yao Mo" .
Sometimes, habits are also a very powerful force.
Ye Xiuwen woke up earlier than Jun Xiaomo, but he did not wake him up, but let him fall asleep on his shoulder.
So, when Jun Xiaomo woke up, Ye Xiuwen's shoulders were already a little numb.
"Brother, why didn't you wake me up?" Jun Xiaomo asked, rubbing his eyes and yawning loudly.
"You were too tired to write those things last night, so I didn't wake you up." Ye Xiuwen explained.
Yesterday, in addition to making a list of things needed for foundation building, Jun Xiaomo also copied Ye Xiuwen a prescription for treating the scars on his face.
"Just in case one of them is lost." Jun Xiaomo said seriously, folded the copy and handed it to Ye Xiuwen.
Looking at Jun Xiaomo who looked like a little adult, Ye Xiuwen smiled and accepted her kindness.
Therefore, Ye Xiuwen didn't have the heart to wake Jun Xiaomo up this morning.
"There are still nine snake-shaped fruits to collect. I wasted a lot of time by sleeping." Jun Xiaomo said guiltily.
"It doesn't matter. One or two hours won't delay anything. What's more, only when you are energetic can you have the energy to deal with emergencies." Ye Xiuwen patted her shoulder and consoled her.
"That's true. Let's have something to eat and then leave." Jun Xiaomo said, taking out two red fruits from the storage ring, taking one for himself, and stuffing another one for Ye Xiuwen.
Ye Xiuwen raised his eyebrows. He didn't remember eating this kind of fruit before.
"I saw this kind of fruit in the woods the day before yesterday, so I picked a few. I have eaten this kind of fruit before. It has a high sugar content, so it is the best for breakfast." Jun Xiaomo explained with a crooked look. .
Ye Xiuwen tried to take a bite, and the sweet juice slid down his throat, making his stomach warm.
"Xiao Mo is really awesome and knows a lot." Ye Xiuwen couldn't help but praise.
"That's right!" Jun Xiaomo raised his chin a little arrogantly, but a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
-Actually, these are all experiences from her previous life, experiences from previous lives.
Forget it, don't think too much. In this life, my parents and senior brothers are still alive and well. The senior brothers of Lintian Peak are still staying in the sect safely, and the demonic energy in their bodies has not been discovered by anyone.
No matter what, destiny is heading in a good direction.
probably
Jun Xiaomo comforted himself. He didn't know why, but he always felt a sense of uneasiness.
