Chapter 1081 - 564: How Many More Surprises Do You Have? (Part 2)

"Is it useful? It’s practically saving me this time! Gu Sheng, how many more surprises do you have that I don’t know about?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng smiled.

"I’m just doing what I can, nothing surprising. If it’s useful, you may keep it, Taoist."

"Well, thank you."

"You’re welcome, Taoist. Can I take a look at the seeds?"

"Of course, I have too many seeds here. I really need your help, staying for two days shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

"No problem, your things are the most important. After we’ve cultivated these seeds here, we’ll find the people from the Fan Sect."

"Good, and let the poison in them take effect. It’s best if we can take his life."

Thinking it over, Gu Sheng said, "With Saint Ya here, I think it’s unlikely."

"No worries, your poison has no antidote. There are so many poisoned people that she won’t be able to concoct one for anyone anytime soon, no rush."

Gu Sheng nodded and said no more.

Wushuang Taoist took out the seeds and laid them all out in the courtyard.

Seeing the courtyard filled with seeds, everyone was stunned.

They knew Wushuang Taoist had many seeds, but they didn’t expect this many!

Seeing their gaping expressions, Gu Sheng laughingly distributed the poisonous grass into their hands.

"Each person take one and feel the aura of the seeds separately. Place those that feel similar separately, but remember, do not cut your skin during the process, or else the poisonous grass will take effect and poison you. So be cautious, it’s best to cover them a little with Divine Power."

Upon hearing this, everyone became alert, hurriedly using Divine Power to cover their skin exposed, carefully sensing the seeds.

The whole afternoon, they selected less than half, and the sky darkened.

Seeing everyone almost collapsing over the seeds, Wushuang Taoist stood up and said, "It’s getting late, let’s call it a day. Hong Mei, prepare some food for everyone. Let them have a good rest tonight. They just fought a battle with Qingxia Sect and came to help, they’re bound to be exhausted. Make it sumptuous."

Understanding her intent, Hong Mei nodded quickly.

"I understand, Master. I’ll go prepare now."

As Hong Mei turned to leave, Gu Sheng also stood up and followed.

"I’ll go help. We have too many people; she can’t manage it alone."

With that, he followed suit.

Watching their backs, everyone was grinning secretly.

After looking around, Wushuang Taoist asked, "When you’re outside, how is the relationship between the two of them?"

"Good! Just excellent! Gu Sheng can protect Hong Mei, and Hong Mei can manage him. They’re simply a perfect match made by heaven!"

Lan Yao finished speaking, and everyone nodded vigorously.

"Exactly. Just standing together, they look perfectly matched, and working together, they’re even more like fish in water!"

After Bai Yu’s words fell, the smile on Wushuang Taoist’s face grew even larger.

"Nice, it seems I can rest assured. If they bicker when you’re out, you must help mediate."

Understanding Wushuang Taoist’s meaning, everyone nodded repeatedly.

"Don’t worry, Taoist, we will."

"Count on us, we’ll definitely keep a close eye on them."

Listening to everyone’s words, Wushuang Taoist couldn’t help but smile as well.

"Gu Sheng having friends like you is his fortune, and it’s yours too. When the seeds are done, you should practice the manual I gave you. It will definitely help you greatly."

Mentioning this, everyone remembered the manual and thanked her again in turn.

After an hour, Gu Sheng and Hong Mei returned together.

Smelling the aroma on the two, Shi Lou’s eyes brightened.

"Brother Sheng, what delicious food have you prepared? It smells so good!"

Seeing his gluttonous look, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but laugh.

"Sky Blue Sect has countless delicacies; what’s on today’s table is guaranteed to be what you like."

Upon hearing this, Shi Lou scurried off.

Seeing him run, Er Gou and the others hurriedly followed.

In no time, everyone was sitting around the dining table.

Looking at the table full of delicacies, everyone’s mouth began to water.

"Brother Sheng, you’re right. Sky Blue Sect’s food is indeed plentiful. There are so many things here I’ve never even seen, let alone eaten."

"Now you’ve seen them, you can have a good taste."

Shi Lou turned to look at Wushuang Taoist, eagerly watching her.

Wushuang Taoist smiled and picked up her chopsticks first.

Seeing her move, everyone started to move as well.

After a storm-like meal, the table was cleared, and everyone rubbed their belly and leaned back on their chairs.

"Brother Sheng, is this your handiwork or Hong Mei’s? This is too delicious!"

Looking at Hong Mei, Gu Sheng laughed and said, "I was just lending a hand, didn’t do much."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Hong Mei and gave her a thumbs up.

Being praised by everyone, Hong Mei blushed slightly.

"Your courtyard is already cleaned up; once you’re full, quickly go and rest. Tomorrow, we have to help Master pick seeds."

"Sect Leader Hong, don’t worry, we won’t delay tomorrow’s important tasks. Since you and Brother Sheng cooked, we’ll clean up the rest."

With that, everyone reached out, and before long, they had everything cleaned up.

As the moon deepened, everyone returned to the courtyard.

Gu Sheng sat in meditation in the courtyard, and as Spiritual Energy emanated, the moonlight streamed onto him, casting a layer of shimmering moonlight on him.

Gu Sheng crazily absorbed the essence of sun and moon, and after two hours, his body reached saturation, finally exhaling a heavy breath.

Upon opening his eyes again, his internal Spiritual Energy and Divine Power were restored to their peak state, and he was invigorated as if he had slept for several days and nights.

Seeing the sky not yet bright, Gu Sheng thought for a moment and went straight to the courtyard.

Taking out the Luminous Pearl, he again picked up the poisonous grass, carefully identifying the seeds.

Gu Sheng diligently worked through the night, and as daylight broke, he managed to handle half by himself.

Hong Mei rubbed her eyes and walked over. Seeing the seeds already picked, she stared wide-eyed in disbelief and rubbed her eyes repeatedly, as if she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

Hearing the footsteps stop behind him but no movement for a long time, Gu Sheng turned around and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What’s wrong? Not fully awake yet?"

Upon hearing his words, Hong Mei finally snapped back to reality.

"Gu Sheng, did you do all of this? Did you not sleep last night?"

"I meditated last night; once my energy recovered, I had nothing to do so I came over. Half is left, come help."

Upon hearing this, Hong Mei hurried over.

While handling seeds, she watched Gu Sheng, relieved to see no trace of fatigue on his face.

"Gu Sheng, you’re amazing. If you were my Master’s first disciple, maybe Master would already be better now."

Saying this, Hong Mei’s mood clearly lowered.

Sensing her emotions, Gu Sheng smiled.

"I might not be as considerate as you. You’re the one who matches well with Wushuang Taoist. Otherwise, with Wushuang Taoist’s strength, why would she choose you as her first disciple? This shows you have exceptional qualities."

With Gu Sheng’s words, Hong Mei’s mood improved significantly.

Just as she was about to speak, Lan Yao and Bai Yu approached.

"Hey, you guys are up pretty early, picked so many?"

"This wasn’t my doing; it was Gu Sheng who stayed up last night and picked so many."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression froze.

"Gu Sheng, you didn’t sleep last night? Why didn’t you call us?"

"I just came over idle to pick some. You needed rest, so you should rest properly. Now that you’re rested, you can come help. Here, take these. Let’s strive to finish everything today, and tomorrow we can prepare the antidote."

"Alright, if you’re tired, go rest for a bit. We have this covered."
