Early morning, deserted city.
Gu Heng got up, went to the back room, steamed some brown sugar buns, and then went to the front yard.
"Mm, the air here smells so good."
He munched on the steamed bun, took a few deep breaths, and squinted his eyes in ecstasy as he enjoyed it.
This deserted city is not deserted at all. When I woke up in the morning, my nose felt refreshed and all I could smell was sweet. Although Gu Heng didn't know why he had this feeling, this place was definitely much better than Yunling City.
"Um?"
While chewing on a steamed bun, Gu Heng suddenly noticed a tiny green sprout popping out of the soft soil next to him!
In order to plant here, he deliberately lifted up the stone bricks in two places in the front yard, loosened the soil underneath, and then buried the seeds. He didn't think that if he planted them yesterday, he would see seedlings today.
But has this sapling already emerged?
Gu Heng was extremely surprised. He quickly stuffed the bun into his mouth and swallowed it, then ran over quickly.
Gu Heng was extremely surprised. He quickly stuffed the bun into his mouth and swallowed it, then ran over quickly.
I saw the tender green seedling in the soil slowly stretching its leaves, looking full of vitality!
"So soon?"
"It seems that the soil here is indeed very nutritious!"
Gu Heng was extremely surprised.
Originally he just wanted to give it a try, but who would have thought that the seed actually sprouted, what a surprise!
Gu Heng excitedly circled around the newly emerged seedling twice. This was the seed of the "Seven Realms Sacred Tree". Although the name sounded very grand, he had never seen a mature tree after all.
Now, he is looking forward to seeing what this Seven Realms Sacred Tree will look like.
I hope it really looks like the so-called "holy tree".
Seeing that the seeds he tried to plant in Qingmu City and Yunling City failed to germinate, they actually sprouted after one night in the deserted city. This was a pretty good start!
Thinking of this, Gu Heng became more hopeful about his future life in the deserted city.
Although he didn't know what he could do at the moment, he had already decided not to open a clinic and would focus on cultivation in the future. However, Gu Heng didn't have much idea about cultivation at the moment...
If you want to become stronger, you have to fill up the experience bar, but how to fill up the experience bar is another troublesome matter.
It's really hard to increase this experience bar.
"Mr. Gu, is this place okay?"
Here, Gu Heng was thinking about the issue of cultivation. Early in the morning, someone came to visit him. When he looked closely, he found that it was the owner Jin Qian of "Youjian Inn", who came with a bunch of things in his hands.
"Oh, shopkeeper, why are you here so early?"
Gu Heng greeted him with a smile.
"I came here to give you something."
Jin Qian put down the things in his hands with a smile. They were all vegetables, fruits and spirit beast meat stored in the inn. He took a lot at once.
Although the residents of the deserted city are all practitioners, they do not leave the city for safety reasons, which leaves them with nothing to do. Over time, their lives begin to become like those of hermits and ordinary people.
Practitioners do not need to fill their stomachs, food is only for satisfying their appetites. However, staying in a deserted city all day, there is nothing much to do except practicing in seclusion.
Cooking is a bit interesting.
Jin Qian doesn't have to open this inn.
But his practice has come to an end.
, there is no way to break through, so I can only find something else to do.
There are not many people as idle as him. It would be a good thing if he could be more busy, but Jin Qian is a man who knows how to accept his fate. He knows that there are some things that he cannot get out of no matter how hard he tries.
Yesterday, it was a rare opportunity for Gu Heng to have a good meal in his deserted inn where almost no one came, which made Jin Qian quite excited.
Moreover, it is said that these two outsiders have obtained Yin Rufeng's approval and can live here permanently.Jin Qian also began to think about visiting.
It seems that Mr. Gu is indeed quite powerful, but he seems to be particularly concerned about his hunger and must eat three meals a day.
Very strange.
It's completely the law of life for mortals.
But Jin Qian didn't care about that. It was rare for a new person to join Huangcheng after so many years. Besides, Mr. Gu seemed to have a good temper and was a friend worth making friends with.
"Manager Jin, I'm really flattered that you've made such a trip."
Gu Heng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Jin Qian to take the initiative to bring so many vegetables, fruits and meat to his house. This really saved him a lot of trouble.
But he also knew.
This is probably due to the help of the Yin family.
The old man and the eldest daughter of the Yin family came to see him one after another. This kind of thing could not be kept secret in a city deep in the mountains, and the news would spread quickly.
"It's just a small matter. If you have time in the future, please come to the inn and have a seat. It's been a long time since anyone appreciated my cooking skills."
Jin Qian's enthusiasm made it difficult for Gu Heng to refuse.
The two chatted for a while, and before leaving, Gu Heng took out a scroll and handed it to Jin Qian.
"Yesterday, the eldest daughter of the Yin family came to see me. As a reward for living here, I promised to draw a picture for her for her to appreciate. But I don't know how to get to the Yin family, so I'd like to trouble you to deliver it for me."
Gu Heng handed over the scroll.
He spent a lot of time and effort to draw this "war picture" last night, and it took him two or three hours.
The last time he put so much effort into painting was three or four years ago.
After mastering his painting skills, Gu Heng basically stopped doing complicated things. Whenever he had time, he would just draw some stickman battles and the like for his own entertainment.
"Oh? Miss Yin wants it?"
Jin Qian was a little surprised.
Yin Xueling entered the Tao through painting. Among the young generations of several aristocratic families in this deserted city, she can be considered the most talented. She is the only one who has taken the first step onto the long steps to immortality. She will definitely have a bright future!
certainly.
If I continue to stay in the deserted city, there probably won't be much future.
The environment here is better than that of Xuantian Realm, but it is not as good as the small Xuantian Realm of "Xuxian World". It is very difficult to make further breakthroughs, break through to the pseudo-immortal, or even the true immortal.
"Great! I never thought that Mr. Gu actually had such a talent. I hope I can be enlightened one day."
Jin Qian took the scroll and said with a sigh.
Gu Heng smiled and nodded.
"Shopkeeper Jin can take a peek, I don't mind."
"No, no, since it's for Miss Yin, I have to get her approval before I can see it!"
Jin Qian quickly waved his hand to refuse.
But he also wanted to see how great Gu Heng's paintings were, so he left in a hurry and prepared to present something to Yin Xueling.
After Jin Qian left, Gu Heng continued to think about how to continue his practice.
"Master, I'm going out now."
Qin Yiyao was wearing tight clothes, with a sword at her waist and her long hair tied up, looking full of energy.
"Are you coming back for dinner?"
"No, I'll be away for quite a while this time."
Qin Yiyao decided not to waste any time. Since her master had moved here for her, Qin Yiyao felt that it was time for her to go to Zhongzhou and make some noise.
If I want to become an empress again, now is the time to start!
