After hearing what the burly old man said, Ye Feng felt relieved. No wonder this stone table and stone bench looked more delicate than the wooden bed and wooden bowl. It turned out that they were not made by Senior Mo, but by someone else.
Jiang Yixue asked with a smile: "I don't know what your name is, Senior. We are new to the Immortal Realm, so please take care of us."
"Call me Lao Qin. I only remember my last name. No one calls me my first name, and I have forgotten it."
The wind blew, and Mo Yun rolled from midair to the yard. He saw the burly old man at a glance. He said unhappily, "Old Qin, you come to my place to have tea again. I didn't see any of the Seven-Star Immortal Fruits you promised me."
Old Qin laughed, his voice full of energy, like a bell: "Old Mo, it's just two cups of tea from you, you want me to snatch the treasure from the golden bear's claws, you are not afraid that I will be killed by the bear's claws, then you have no good friends."
Ye Feng asked curiously: "What kind of beast is the golden bear? Is it an evolution of a bear?"
He filled a bowl of tea for Ye Feng and Jiang Yixue respectively and handed them over. The fresh fragrance of tea leaves was refreshing. The tea water was bright and clear, with a few emerald green leaves floating in the water, which was quite interesting.
"Where's my tea, Old Man Mo?"
"You old man, you come here every day, but you are not a guest. The tea is there, just take the bowl and drink it yourself. Do you still need me to serve you?"
"Old man Mo, look how anxious you are. Haha, wait for a while, and I will go pick the Seven Star Fairy Fruit and let you eat your fill."
Mo Yun placed some walnut-sized blue fruits on the stone table. He didn't even wash them with water. He picked one up and ate it with relish.
Ye Feng and Jiang Yixue both ate the blue berries. They were juicy, but the taste was bland, not sweet at all, and even a little bitter.
After eating just one, Jiang Yixue didn't want to eat anymore and asked, "Isn't this the Seven Star Fairy Fruit you mentioned?"
Mo Yun said helplessly: "Of course not, this is just an ordinary berry, not sweet, but if you eat one when you are thirsty, you will feel that it is very thirst-quenching."
Old Qin laughed and said, "This crap is bitter and astringent and tasteless. How can it compare to the Seven-Star Fairy Fruit? When we first came here, we didn't know what was delicious and what was not. We just picked fruits to eat when we were hungry. We have lived here for hundreds of years, and of all the wild fruits we have eaten, only the Seven-Star Fairy Fruit is the most fragrant, sweetest, and most delicious."
Ye Feng asked curiously: "What is the Seven-Star Immortal Fruit? Just now you said that the Seven-Star Immortal Fruit is guarded by a fierce beast, so I knew it was not an ordinary item."
Old Qin glanced at Ye Feng and said with a smile: "Boy, it seems that you are well-informed. Things guarded by fierce beasts must be treasures. They are delicious, but difficult to pick."
Mo Yun carefully explained to Ye Feng and Jiang Yixue, "The Seven-Star Fairy Fruit is very beautiful, just like an enlarged purple grape. There are seven silver spots on its purple skin, just like the stars in the sky, sparkling and glittering. In addition to being beautiful, the most important thing is that it is very delicious. The skin is thin and juicy. Take a bite and the purple juice can fill your mouth. It is sweet and delicious. It has been our favorite fruit for hundreds of years."
Hearing what Mo Yun said, Jiang Yixue showed a yearning look and smiled curiously: "Brother Ye Feng, it sounds delicious, why don't we go pick some to eat."
Since Jiang Yixue wants to eat, Ye Feng must of course satisfy her request.
He asked Mo Yun, "Senior, where does the Seven Star Immortal Fruit you mentioned grow?"
Before Mo Yun could speak, Old Man Qin smiled and said, "You are very curious, kid. The Seven-Star Immortal Fruit is at the junction of the Bottomless Lake and the Giant Tree Forest more than 500 miles to the east. But when you see the Bottomless Lake, it is clear and transparent. Don't go swimming in it, or you won't be able to get out."
"Bottomless Lake? How big is it?"
Mo Yun said: "It is called a lake, but it is actually as vast as the sea. However, it is not like the sea. It has no waves and no rough seas, because there is no wind in the world of immortality. Can it still be called a sea without waves? So we call it a big lake, and we all call it the Bottomless Lake."
Jiang Yixue asked curiously: "Bottomless Lake, is it really bottomless?"
Ye Feng explained with a smile: "It's just a saying, just like saying a hole is very deep, everyone calls it a bottomless pit, but it doesn't mean it has no bottom, do you understand?"
Jiang Yixue shrugged disapprovingly: "Whether it has a bottom or not has nothing to do with me, I just want to eat that seven-star fairy fruit."
Old Qin said with a smile: "Young man, if you really want to pick the Seven-Star Fruit, be careful. There is a golden bear the same size as a dog on the tree. It is a little bigger than your dog, but more beautiful."
He actually said that the bear is more handsome than me. It really hurt the dog's self-esteem. Xiaobai whimpered at Lao Qintou twice to express his protest.
"Can't you swim in a bottomless lake?"
Mo Yun said seriously, "No, we have tried many times. Even if we put the giant tree on the lake, it would sink and would not float at all. We thought that it might be because the giant tree wood is too dense and too heavy to float. Later, we changed to feathers of some lighter animals, but it still sank. Just like the Three Thousand Weak Waters, nothing can float."
Old Qin poured himself a bowl of tea, gulped it down, wiped his mouth, and looked very satisfied.
"Ye Feng, since you have come to our Changsheng Realm, you will find that there are many differences between here and the outside world. Don't be afraid, just get used to it. Old Mo, I'm leaving. Next time you make tea, remember to call me."
After saying that, Old Qin hummed a little tune and left Mo Yun's small courtyard.
No wonder Mo Yun didn't like to invite Old Qin to drink tea. He finally made a pot of tea, but Old Qin drank most of it.
Mo Yun shouted at Old Qin's back, "Every time I made tea, I called you. Even if I didn't call you, you would have come."
Old Qin said with a playful smile: "Hehe, I know you want to make tea when I see you lighting the fire. Old Mo, your skills are not that good, but you grow good tea leaves and make good tea."
Seeing that there was only half a bowl of tea left in the pot, Mo Yun had no choice but to add more water and boil it again.
Ye Feng and Jiang Yuxin looked at each other and smiled. This old Qin is such a scoundrel.
Seeing the contempt in Ye Feng's eyes, Mo Yun explained: "Old Qin, don't think he is a rogue, he is actually a good man. One of your friends, the girl in military uniform, was helped by him so that the Iron Certificate of Immortality was not stolen. After the Immortality Realm was opened, many people became bandits, cold-blooded and cruel, but Old Qin still insisted on upholding justice, which is rare."
Because they had been apart for such a short time, Ye Feng had not heard Nie Qingwu talk about this matter, and he felt even more grateful to Old Qin.
"Senior Mo, you are also a good person. Birds of a feather flock together. Your friend is also a good person."
