Chapter 114: The Big Surprise

Everyone chatted for more than two hours before they dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.

Because it was still early, Lin Changqing was preparing to take out the travel notes of the Jindan cultivators to read and kill time.

Unexpectedly, I felt someone triggered the restriction on the door. When I opened it, it was Chen Ziya. I quickly let her in and the two of them just sat down.

Chen Ziya said, "Thank you so much for this trip to the secret realm, Brother Shi. Without you, I wouldn't be able to get out of the secret realm, let alone soak in the Purple Spirit Liquid."

Lin Changqing listened and smiled, "Sister, given the hundreds of years of friendship between our two families, there's no need to be so polite!"

Chen Ziya chuckled and said, "Indeed, Brother Shi is right, I am obsessed!"

After saying that, he tapped the storage bag and took out the three pieces of second-level spiritual material black crystal rock, which were the three pieces that were compensated to her just now.

Lin Changqing frowned, looked at Chen Ziya and asked, "Sister, what do you mean by taking out these three pieces of black crystal rock?"

Chen Ziya glanced at him and said, "Don't misunderstand, this is not for you, this is for your purple crystal scorpions.

They have saved me more than once, and this is my thank you gift to them! Should it be okay? Didn’t you say they like to chew crystals?”

Lin Changqing was speechless. After a slight hesitation, he said, "They are only in the middle stage of the first stage now. I wonder if they can chew this second stage black crystal rock!"

Chen Ziya nodded and said, "I haven't thought about this question. Why don't you give it a try now? If you can chew it, give it to them.

If that doesn't work, you can collect them first, and feed them when they advance to a higher level and can chew them!"

Lin Changqing nodded, then released a purple crystal scorpion from the spirit insect bag. As soon as it came out, it saw the black crystal rock on the table and looked eager to try. When Lin Changqing signaled that it could chew it, it immediately pounced on it.

It lay on a piece of black crystal rock and started gnawing on it. Lin Changqing and Chen Ziya watched it silently. After gnawing for quarter of an hour, it had only gnawed off a little bit, about one-tenth the size of a grain of rice.

It's barely gnawable, but it's hard to chew. Forget it, just put the black crystal rock in the spirit insect bag and let them grind their teeth! After all, it's their earned money.

We still need to prepare first-level spirit crystals for them regularly. We don’t know how long we will be able to finish chewing these three pieces of second-level black crystal rocks!

Seeing the result, Chen Ziya said, "This should be considered edible, right?"

Lin Changqing nodded and said, "They can barely chew it, so just treat it as a toothpick for them! I want to thank Shimei on their behalf."

Chen Ziya nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Can I touch it?"

Lin Changqing was stunned for a moment, unable to react. He didn't expect that someone as plain as Chen Ziya would have such thoughts.

It seems that everyone would want to touch and caress this crystal-clear and beautiful creature.

Lin Changqing nodded quickly and said, "Sure, go ahead and touch it! I have communicated with it, and now it won't sting you."

Only then did Chen Ziya dare to reach out her hand and gently stroke its crystal-like back. The Amethyst Scorpion was now busy gnawing on the black crystal rock, and following its master's instructions, it ignored her and let her touch it to her heart's content.

When she was in the secret realm, she wanted to touch them.

It was only because of the consequences of being stung by them that she didn't dare to touch them. After playing with them for a while, Chen Ziya finally got her fill.

He said something to Lin Changqing, then stood up to say goodbye. Lin Changqing quickly stood up, opened the door and saw him off.

Returning to the room, he looked at the amethyst scorpion that was busy gnawing on the food on the table, and put it and the three pieces of black crystal rock on the table into the spirit insect bag. As soon as the three pieces of black crystal rock were put in, the amethyst scorpions immediately surrounded them.

Lin Changqing observed them for a while and found nothing wrong, so he left them alone.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice: "Xiao Qing'er, come up to the top floor!"

Lin Changqing knew that it was his great grandmother who summoned him, so he quickly stood up to check.
Just about to go out.

Suddenly he thought of something and quickly took out three Xuanhuang fruits from the storage bag containing the main medicine and put them into the storage bag he usually used.

Then he opened the door and walked to the top floor. There was only one room on the top floor. Just as he was about to knock on the door, a voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Lin Changqing quickly pushed the door open and saw his great-grandmother inside. He quickly bowed and greeted her, "Grandson, meet your great-grandmother!"

The great-grandmother chuckled and said, "Get up! Come and sit down. Don't be too restrained here with me. Just relax a little!" Lin Changqing quickly responded and walked over to sit next to the great-grandmother.

At this time, the great grandmother said: "I have asked Xiaoya, you have done very well in the secret realm, far exceeding my expectations.

Not only that, but I also saved the younger generations of two fellow Taoists. This time I will be proud of myself in front of them."

Lin Changqing quickly replied: "Thank you for the compliment, great grandmother, this is what a grandson should do.

As for the matter of saving people, my grandson didn't want to meddle in other people's business. It was at my sister's request that I took action. So my sister also deserves some credit for saving people."

The great-grandmother smiled and said, "No matter what, you saved them both. The process is not important. Their elders still have to accept my favor. They can't get away with this!"

Seeing that the great-grandmother was in a good mood, Lin Changqing hesitated for a moment, but still took out all the remaining main medicines from the storage bag that contained the main medicines.

Then he apologized to his great grandmother: "Grandmother, I didn't take out all the main ingredients at that time. Please forgive me!"

The great-grandmother chuckled and said, "Xiao Qing'er, you are quite clever! Not only do you know how to disguise yourself, but you also know how to hide your shortcomings. If Xiaoya were as clever as you, I would feel relieved!

Okay, get up, you've done a good job, one more plant is a win anyway, why do you need so many, it will only offend people!"

Hearing what the great-grandmother said, Lin Changqing felt relieved and said with a smile: "Thank you for your understanding, great-grandmother!"

The great grandmother glanced at the more than fifty main herbs on the table and said with a smile: "No wonder Xiaoya praised you so much, it seems that if she hadn't dragged you down, you would have gained more!
How about this, all your main medicines added together can be exchanged for 22 foundation-building pills. I will help you exchange them for two Purple Mansion Profound Pills and two foundation-building pills. What do you think?"

When Lin Changqing heard this, he jumped up with joy. It was such a surprise that he couldn't close his mouth with laughter. He had thought about it but didn't dare to mention it!

I didn’t expect that great-grandmother had already thought of it. It seems that great-grandmother really has nothing to say about the Lin family. She is really nice!

He quickly calmed down his excitement and agreed, "Thank you, great grandmother. You are so wise and brave. Of course I am willing to do this. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I could get the Purple Mansion Tongxuan Pill!"

The great-grandmother smiled and said, "Be steady, kid. You're like this right after I praised you."

Then he raised his hand and waved lightly, and the fifty or so main medicinal herbs on the table disappeared. He then took out a Qingyin bamboo from a spiritual plant bag and threw it to Lin Changqing.

He said, "I will give you the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Purple Palace Profound Passage Pill after I return to Qingyun Sect and exchange them.

This third-level Qingyin bamboo is your reward this time. Find a place to plant it. It will sprout new bamboo shoots every five hundred years or so. The Lin family has inherited the skills of a spiritual plant master, so you should make good use of it."

"Thank you very much, great-grandmother, for your reward!" Lin Changqing replied happily.

Thinking of the Jade Spring Heart Tea, he said, “Grandmother, this time the four of us found a Jade Spring Heart Tea tree in the cave of an ancient cultivator in the secret realm.

We have dug it out and stored it in a spiritual plant bag, and will transplant it to Xiaocang Mountain when the time comes.

In this way, everyone will be allocated some Yuquan Heart Tea every year. My grandson wants to dedicate his share of the heart tea every year to my great-grandmother. This can be regarded as a token of my gratitude to the Lin family and my grandson."

The great-grandmother shook her head and chuckled, “You are also thoughtful, Xiaoya also mentioned this Yuquanxin tea tree.

You all want to give me your tea, but I can't use that much tea by myself. So, I'll take half of each of your gifts and leave some for you!"

Since the great-grandmother said so, Lin Changqing had no choice but to agree.

The great-grandmother asked Lin Changqing some questions about Jiufeng Mountain, Lin Changqing's parents and family, including whether Lin Changqing was engaged. Lin Changqing could only bite the bullet and answer them one by one.

Gradually, Lin Changqing discovered that his great-grandmother was quite easy-going towards him, so he began to relax and act as if he was chatting with a family elder.

Later on, I don’t know how, but it was mentioned that this time he used a name called Gao Deshuai, and was walking in a secret realm.

When the great-grandmother heard the name Gao Deshuai, she laughed so hard and kept praising Lin Changqing for his good name.

Later, she took out a jade token from her storage bracelet and used her magic power to refine a jade token for Gao Deshuai's identity on the spot. She also said that Gao Deshuai would also be her registered disciple in the future!

Asking him to visit Guangcheng Peak more often when he has time in the future, Lin Changqing had no choice but to agree and took Gao Deshuai's identity jade card.

After talking to the great-grandmother for a while, Lin Changqing took his leave and returned to his room.
