Chapter 115: Contact and Great Surprise

Everyone chatted for more than two hours before dispersing and returning to their rooms to rest.

Because it was still early, Lin Zhangqing was preparing to take out the travelogues of the Golden Core cultivators to read, just to pass the time.

Unexpectedly, he felt someone touch the restriction on the door. When he opened it, it was actually Chen Zi Ya. He hurriedly let her in, and the two sat down.

Chen Zi Ya said, "This trip to the secret realm, many thanks to you, Senior Brother. Without you, Junior Sister should not have been able to walk out of the secret realm, let alone soak in the Purple Spirit Liquid."

Lin Zhangqing smiled and said, "Junior Sister, with the friendship between our two families for hundreds of years, there is no need to be so polite!"

Chen Zi Ya smiled lightly, "Indeed, Senior Brother is right. It is Junior Sister who was too attached!"

After speaking, she tapped her storage bag and took out the three pieces of second-tier spirit material Mystic Crystal Rock, which were exactly the three pieces she had compensated him with just now.

Lin Zhangqing frowned and looked at Chen Zi Ya, asking, "Junior Sister, what do you mean by taking out these three pieces of Mystic Crystal Rock?"

Chen Zi Ya looked at him and said, "Don't misunderstand, it's not for you. This is for those purple crystal scorpions of yours.

They saved me more than once. This is my thank-you gift to them! Should be no problem, right? Didn't you say they like to gnaw on crystals?"

Lin Zhangqing was speechless and hesitated for a moment before saying, "They are only at the first-tier mid-stage now. I don't know if they can gnaw on this second-tier Mystic Crystal Rock!"

Chen Zi Ya nodded, "I haven't thought about this problem. Why don't you try it now? If they can gnaw on it, give it to them to eat.

If not, you can help them put it away first, and wait until they advance and can gnaw on it later, then feed it to them!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded, and then released a Purple Crystal Scorpion from the spirit insect bag. As soon as it came out, it saw the Mystic Crystal Rock on the table, looking eager to try. When Lin Zhangqing signaled that it could gnaw, it immediately pounced on it.

It lay on a piece of Mystic Crystal Rock and gnawed. Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya watched it silently. After gnawing for two quarters of an hour, it only gnawed off a little bit, about one-tenth the size of a grain of rice.

It could barely be considered able to gnaw, but it was quite difficult. Forget it, just put the Mystic Crystal Rock into the spirit insect bag and let them grind their teeth in their spare time! Anyway, it was earned by them.

First-tier spirit crystals still need to be prepared for them often. These three second-tier Mystic Crystal Rocks, I don't know how long it will take to gnaw on them!

Seeing the result, Chen Zi Ya said, "This should be considered able to gnaw, right?"

Lin Zhangqing nodded, "Barely considered able to gnaw. Just let them grind their teeth in their spare time! I thank you on their behalf, Junior Sister."

Chen Zi Ya nodded, hesitated slightly, and said, "Can I touch it?"

Lin Zhangqing was stunned for a moment, a bit unable to react. He didn't expect that someone as indifferent as Chen Zi Ya would have such an idea.

It seems that this kind of crystal-clear and beautiful creature, no matter who it is, would want to touch and contact it.

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly nodded, "Yes, you can touch it! I have communicated with it, and now it won't sting you."

Only then did Chen Zi Ya dare to reach out and gently stroke its crystal-like back. The Purple Crystal Scorpion was busy gnawing on the Mystic Crystal Rock, and plus the master's instructions, it ignored her and let her touch it to her heart's content.

At that time in the secret realm, she wanted to touch them.

It was just that thinking of the consequences of being stung by them, she didn't dare to touch them. After Chen Zi Ya played with it for a while, she finally had her fill.

After saying goodbye to Lin Zhangqing, she got up and left. Lin Zhangqing hurriedly got up to open the door and see her off.

Returning to the room, looking at the Purple Crystal Scorpion gnawing hard on the table, he sent it along with the three pieces of Mystic Crystal Rock on the table into the spirit insect bag. As soon as the three pieces of Mystic Crystal Rock went in, they were immediately surrounded by Purple Crystal Scorpions.

Lin Zhangqing observed for a while and didn't find any problems, so he ignored them.

At this time, his ears suddenly heard a voice: "Qing'er, come up to the top floor!"

Lin Zhangqing knew that this was Great-Grandmother summoning him, so he hurriedly got up to check, wanting to go out.

Suddenly thinking of something, he hurriedly took the three Xuanhuang Fruits out of the storage bag containing the main medicines and put them into the storage bag he usually used.

Only then did he push open the door and walk towards the top floor. Going up to the top floor, there was only one room. Just as he was about to knock on the door, a voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly pushed the door and entered. Inside was Great-Grandmother. He hurriedly bowed and greeted, "Grandson greets Great-Grandmother!"

Great-Grandmother smiled lightly, "Get up! Come over and sit down. Here, don't be too restrained, just relax!" Lin Zhangqing hurriedly responded and walked over to sit beside Great-Grandmother.

At this time, Great-Grandmother said, "I have already asked Xiao Ya, you did very well in the secret realm, far exceeding my expectations.

Not only that, but you also saved the descendants of two Fellow Daoists. This time I can finally hold my head high in front of them."

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly replied, "Many thanks for Great-Grandmother's praise, this is what grandson should do.

As for saving people, grandson originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business. It was at the request of Junior Sister that grandson took action. So the credit for saving people also has a share of Junior Sister."

Great-Grandmother smiled, "Anyway, you saved them both. The process is not important. Their elders still have to owe me a favor. They can't run away from this!"

Seeing Great-Grandmother in a good mood, Lin Zhangqing hesitated for a moment, but still took out all the remaining main medicines in the storage bag containing the main medicines.

Then he apologized to Great-Grandmother, "Great-Grandmother, grandson didn't take out all the main medicines at that time, please forgive me!"

Great-Grandmother smiled lightly, "Qing'er, you little guy are quite clever! Not only do you know how to disguise yourself, but you also know how to hide your strength. If Xiao Ya were as clever as you, I would be relieved!

Alright, get up, you have already done very well. Anyway, one more is winning, why do you need so many, and offend people!"

Hearing Great-Grandmother say this, Lin Zhangqing was relieved and said with a smile, "Many thanks for Great-Grandmother's understanding!"

Great-Grandmother glanced at the fifty-plus main medicines on the table and said with a smile, "No wonder Xiao Ya praised you so much. It seems that if she hadn't dragged you down, your harvest would definitely have been even greater! How about this, all your main medicines added together can be exchanged for twenty-two Foundation Establishment Pills. I will make the decision to help you exchange them for two Purple Mansion Tongxuan Pills and two Foundation Establishment Pills. What do you think?"

When Lin Zhangqing heard this, he jumped up happily. It was truly a great surprise, and he couldn't close his mouth from smiling. He had thought about it but didn't dare to mention it!

Unexpectedly, Great-Grandmother had already thought of it first. It seems that Great-Grandmother is truly good to the Lin Family, truly very good!

He hurriedly calmed his excited mood and agreed, "Many thanks, Great-Grandmother. You are truly wise and martial. Grandson is of course willing. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would be able to get the Purple Mansion Tongxuan Pill!"

Great-Grandmother smiled, "You kid, be steady. I just praised you and you are like this."

Then she raised her hand and waved lightly, and the fifty-plus main medicines on the table disappeared. She took out a Qingyin Bamboo from a spirit plant bag and threw it to Lin Zhangqing.

She said, "I will give you the Foundation Establishment Pills and Purple Mansion Tongxuan Pills after I return to the Qingyun Sect and exchange them.

This third-tier Qingyin Bamboo is the reward for you this time. Find a place to plant it. It will sprout a new shoot every five hundred years or so. The Lin Family has a spirit plant master inheritance, so you must make good use of it."

"Many thanks for Great-Grandmother's reward!" Lin Zhangqing thanked happily.

Remembering the Jade Spring Heart Tea, he said, "Great-Grandmother, this time the four of us discovered a Jade Spring Heart Tea tree in an ancient cultivator's cave abode in the secret realm.

We have already dug it out and stored it in a spirit plant bag. We will transplant it to Xiao Cang Mountain later.

In this way, everyone will be allocated some Jade Spring Heart Tea every year. Grandson wants to offer the annual share of heart tea to Great-Grandmother, which can be considered a token of the Lin Family and grandson's heart."

Great-Grandmother shook her head and smiled lightly, "You also have a heart. Xiao Ya also mentioned this Jade Spring Heart Tea tree.

You all want to offer the heart tea to me, but I can't use that much alone. How about this! I will accept half of each of your hearts, and leave a little for yourselves!"

Since Great-Grandmother said so, Lin Zhangqing could only agree.

Great-Grandmother asked Lin Zhangqing about Nine Peaks Mountain, as well as Lin Zhangqing's parents and family, including whether Lin Zhangqing had a marriage engagement and other questions. Lin Zhangqing could only bite the bullet and answer them one by one.

Slowly, Lin Zhangqing also discovered that Great-Grandmother was still relatively easygoing with him. In this way, Lin Zhangqing gradually let go, just like chatting with clan elders.

Later, I don't know how, but it was mentioned that this time he used a name called Gao Deshuai to walk in the secret realm.

As soon as Great-Grandmother heard the name Gao Deshuai, she couldn't stop laughing and praised Lin Zhangqing for choosing a good name.

Later, she took out a jade token from her storage bracelet and refined a Gao Deshuai identity jade token on the spot, and also said that this Gao Deshuai would be her registered disciple from now on!

She told him to visit Guangcheng Peak more often when he had time in the future. Lin Zhangqing could only agree and took the Gao Deshuai identity jade token.

Then, after talking with Great-Grandmother for a while, Lin Zhangqing took his leave and returned to his room.
