Chapter 1166: There Must Be Good Things
"Creak!"
The door closed.
After sending away the Yaochi female disciple, Xu Que casually threw the spirit medicine into the system storage space. Although the age of the medicine was very average, it was after all the other party's heart, so it couldn't be wasted!
However, the female disciple's words surprised Xu Que. He had only arrived in the Tianzhou Continent for a short time, so how could there be news about him so quickly?
"Damn, could it be that those two guys, Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude, are spreading news about me outside again?" Xu Que frowned.
But thinking about it carefully, he felt it was unlikely.
After all, Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude were currently existences in the Tianzhou Continent that everyone shouted to beat. They should not dare to be publicized, let alone show their faces, so how could Yaochi have news about him?
Xu Que couldn't figure it out, shook his head, and simply didn't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, he would know when he went to the council hall tomorrow.
That day, Xu Que stayed in the Yaochi Holy Land. However, with his personality, he was never used to acting as an ailing old man who needed a lot of rest.
After staying in the room for a few hours, he couldn't hold it anymore, feeling stuffy. This Yaochi Holy Land was too quiet. Although there were all female disciples, his identity couldn't be messed around with, otherwise he would be exposed in minutes.
"Aish, if I had known, I would have changed my identity. Even if I were a cross-dressing big shot, it would be fine. Maybe I could have bathed and played with so many young ladies in the pond!" Xu Que sighed, feeling that he had made a wrong move this time.
Although acting as a sick old man could win sympathy and favor, it was too boring, and he really regretted it now.
"Forget it, go out for a walk. I always feel that those two guys, Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude, are not quite right. They insisted on me coming to Yaochi. This matter probably isn't that simple!" After thinking for a while, Xu Que decided to go out for a stroll.
After all, Jiang Hongyan had stayed here, and Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude had also been here. If there was really nothing fun, then he would just go find Liu Jingning. After all, Liu Jingning had followed Jiang Hongyan to the Tianzhou Continent with the Extreme Joy Sect, discovered that the ancestors of the Extreme Joy Sect also had a sect in the Tianzhou Continent, and then went there, not staying in Yaochi.
As far as the current situation was concerned, Xu Que knew that he definitely didn't have the ability to kill his way to the Heavenly Palace Academy to find Jiang Hongyan, but finding Liu Jingning was not difficult. If it weren't for Er Gouzi's strong request to come to the Tianxiang Immortal Domain, Xu Que would have gone to the Extreme Joy Sect long ago.
"Eh, Elder Xu, is there anything you need?" Just as Xu Que stepped out of the room, a female disciple happened to pass by not far away and asked with concern.
Xu Que leaned on his cane, smiled kindly, looked at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and sighed: "Nothing, it's just that I'm old, and I'm increasingly nostalgic for this world. I want to go out for a walk and feel the beauty of the world!"
"So Elder Xu is bored in the room. Why don't I take you for a walk in Yaochi?" The female disciple said immediately.
This was a good intention, but at the same time, it was also a worry that Xu Que would run around in Yaochi. After all, there were many places in the Yaochi Holy Land that outsiders were not allowed to approach.
"Good, thank you, good child!" Xu Que nodded with a smile.
He originally didn't intend to cause trouble in Yaochi. It didn't matter if the other party followed him. It was purely for a stroll to pass the time. Of course, it was also to inquire about Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude, to see if those two guys letting him come to Yaochi really had other meanings!
Led by the female disciple, Xu Que walked forward slowly, bypassed several pavilions and corridors, and passed by an open-air large lake.
The lake water was green and clear, looking like a smooth green gem mirror from afar, but it was planted with peach trees, the trunks shining, but the leaves were a bit withered, lacking the vitality that plants should have.
"Are these peach trees sick?" Xu Que asked.
The female disciple walking on the side smiled and responded: "Elder Xu, this is the Hundred Spirits Pantao Tree of our Yaochi Holy Land. It bears fruit once every thousand years, which is the Hundred Spirits Pantao, containing a large amount of Immortal Yuan. After taking it, it not only increases cultivation but also allows one to comprehend a trace of the rules of heaven and earth."
Speaking of this, the female disciple paused slightly, her expression a bit bitter: "However, hundreds of years ago, these Pantao trees suddenly withered for some reason, and even the Holy Mother couldn't find the reason. Later, we spent countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures to barely save these Pantao trees, but they might never bear Pantao fruit again."
"Oh? Could it be that they were eroded by insects?" Xu Que asked curiously.
"No, we have checked all the inside and outside of the Pantao trees, and didn't find any insect disaster. Moreover, we once invited the descendants of the Shennong Clan to check the reason. They said that Yaochi's soil was no longer good and that new saplings needed to be transplanted to a new place to start over. So these Pantao trees can now only be used as ornamental objects." The female disciple shook her head and said.
Looking back, this place was once the highest forbidden area of Yaochi. Let alone outsiders, even ordinary disciples like them were not qualified to approach it. Now this place has become a part of the beautiful scenery for everyone to watch.
Xu Que was startled by the female disciple's words. Descendants of the Shennong Clan? There was such an awesome existence in the Tianzhou Continent?
Yaochi, Shennong, if one day Fuxi and Huangdi or Chiyou or something appeared, it would probably be normal!
However, Xu Que was only silently teasing in his heart. Just like Yaochi, although the names were all Yaochi, they were two completely different concepts from the myths and legends he knew in the past.
"So that's it, it's really a pity!" Xu Que responded with a polite remark.
The female disciple also nodded: "Yes! This Pantao Garden has existed since the founding of Yaochi, and now it has a history of hundreds of thousands of years. It's a pity to abandon it like this. However, the Holy Mother has also taken new saplings to find other planting places. I believe that in a short time, our Yaochi will have a new Pantao Garden, which will not be worse than this one!"
"Hmm!" Xu Que nodded absent-mindedly.
He really had no interest in these Pantao trees, and had no idea of planting Pantao trees, after all, it took a thousand years to bear fruit, which was too damn long.
However, just as he was about to continue walking forward, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and stopped.
He looked at one of the Pantao trees in surprise. There was a small claw print on the trunk, which looked like it was left by Er Gouzi.
But the claw print was very subtle and hard to find. Now that it was discovered, Xu Que probed with his divine sense and immediately sensed a trace of Er Gouzi's aura.
Obviously, Er Gouzi had walked around here once.
"Eh, child, look quickly, why is there a claw print on that tree?" Immediately, Xu Que pretended to have just discovered it and said to the female disciple.
The female disciple looked in the direction Xu Que pointed, but was not surprised at all, smiling faintly: "It's strange to say, before, when Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude were in our Yaochi, they seemed very interested in this Pantao Garden, and even said they wanted to contract the Pantao Garden and let us sell it to them, but we only took it as a joke and didn't pay attention. Later, Er Gouzi said there were treasures under this Pantao Garden and wanted to dig it up, which angered Deacon Lin, and then a series of bad things happened. They angrily looted the treasure pavilion and escaped."
Speaking of this, the female disciple shook her head and smiled: "Under this Pantao Garden, there is only a piece of silt. We have cleaned it countless times over the years, and Deacon Lin later used her divine sense to probe it, and there was nothing at all below. It was purely an excuse for those two guys to cause trouble with us in order to steal the treasure pavilion."
"Hmm, hmm, those two guys are really too wicked!" Xu Que nodded in cooperation.
But his eyes had already become hot. Under this Pantao Garden, there must be good things!
