Chapter 761
There is no light in the silent forest, and it is covered with fog all year round. Even if there is, it is only a few rays of strong sunlight at noon that penetrate the dense shade.
Sang Yue's tree house is the same as the place where she recuperated before. Every noon, a few rays of gentle sunlight shine through from the tall shaded dome. The hazy scene was like a fairy tale as it shone like divine light on the roof of her tree.
It sets off the quiet surroundings, giving it a sense of confusion and mystery.
Except for a few minutes around noon, which are as bright as daylight, the rest of the time is as dark and gloomy as anywhere else. Therefore, she set up a tall dry pole next to her tree house, and hung three large ancient lanterns in a series from it.
The lantern is not lit with fire, but with spiritual beads that can illuminate.
The spirit beads are not natural, but are artificially refined. She uses glowing spiritual plants and spiritual stones taken from underground mineral veins to refine them. They can last for many years. It is valid for more than ten years, and the three beads she is using now are the new ones she just put on a while ago.
She refined the beads in batches and sealed them in a box for storage in the manor's warehouse.
As for the spirit stone, it was a spirit rat that was good at burrowing into the ground and exchanged this information for her medicine, free of charge for life. Later, it disappeared. Someone who witnessed the monster told her that the spirit rat was caught by a cultivator and recognized as its owner, and it was used as a treasure hunt rat for others.
She was still glad that she had picked up a big deal, until one day, it took the owner and the other teammate to the tree house for help, and she was silent.
The spirit rat was beaten by her before she agreed: if its owner is not charged a penny, other people's medicine expenses must not be less. If it is injured along with its owner, treatment for its injury is free, but its owner must pay or offset it with supplies.
Having said that, this spirit rat is still very loyal.
Every time he brought his owner to heal his wounds, he would always quietly reveal to her some information about the location of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It’s not that it betrays its owner, but its owner can’t go to that kind of place. Rather than making repairs easier for others, it’s better to make them cheaper for pharmacists.
Not all the rare treasures in the world land in the Forest of Silence. Some spiritual plants and medicinal plants must be picked from far away.
This is the reason why she often travels far away. With her current poor physical condition, traveling far away is bound to be unlucky, which leads to more and more debts owed to her...
The topic digressed, back to the spirit beads.
Facts have proved that the sealed beads do not consume light energy, and there is a time limit before they can be used. Of course, she didn't know whether it was sealed to ensure its quality, or whether it was stored in a space to ensure its quality.
Such trivial matters are not worthy of her concern and experimentation.
Besides, there were so many miscellaneous things to put in her tree house that she couldn’t make room for a large pot of beads. If it really has something to do with space, wouldn't it be a waste of her time to put it outside?
It's just a consumable item, not worth thinking about.
……
As she thought about it, she gradually saw a little light in the darkness ahead, which was her tree house. In the huge forest, the light from her house was vertical and independent.
Before I even got home, I saw some little kids jumping and playing in front of my tree house all the way away.
Living in this forest where monsters are rampant, of course you can't rely solely on her personal charm to ensure your safety. If there is a barrier, the barrier built by Jiulong Tower to protect the house is no worse than the monk's twelfth-level array.
The Fu Sheng Que was originally a Fu Sheng magic weapon she refined with a crystal ball, and it was once used in her Sangjia Mountain.
Later, when the Jiulong Tower came into existence, it was shelved.
When she settled in Yancheng, she intended to make it into an epitome of Jiulong Tower, and then use it in her house in Zishan Valley. With the assistance of Aman, the transformation was carried out one after another, until she completed the transformation on her own several decades ago. It's a pity that Zishangou has become a thing of the past, and now she needs it even more to protect her home and courtyard.
After transformation, Fu Shengque can divide the barrier into two according to her wishes. The most closely guarded part is naturally the interior of the tree house, including the bedroom, living room and utility room. Only she, Dangdang, Banban and Aman are allowed to come and go freely.
The one-acre area outside the tree house in all directions is protected by an outer barrier, including the top of the three-story old tree trunk.
This tree has been dead for thousands of years. Except for the roots that are bent into a dome shape, the inside of the trunk has long been eaten away by insects. If the barrier didn't cover the top of it, a few pairs of eyes would appear on the ceiling of her living room from time to time.
Those are the eyes of giant caterpillars. This insect likes to burrow inside trees and is the number one natural enemy of towering trees.
Its combat power is not worth mentioning, but when it is killed, its whole body will explode and die. Those green slurries exploded everywhere. It wasn't smelly, but it just looked very disgusting.
To prevent these caterpillars from appearing on the trees in her yard, she sprinkled homemade insect repellent on every tree in her yard. The nearby trees outside the barrier were also sprinkled with water, lest one day when they opened their eyes they would see a flesh worm lying and squirming outside the barrier.
Let's talk about this outer barrier, guarding the area of one acre of land outside the tree house.
After transformation, except for human beings, all creatures who seek medicine and seek medical treatment without malicious intentions can come and go freely. Just like in Lanshui Town, every time she traveled far away, she would boil a large pot of quick-healing potion in the pot outside the house.
No matter who is injured and comes in, he can take a spoonful and drink it. There is a rectangular stone trough next to it, which is only available for a fee.
Medicinal materials can be spiritual stones, anecdotes from the outside world, magic weapons, heavenly materials, earthly treasures, etc.
As for not letting people in, it was of course because people were unpredictable and worried that they might tamper with her medicine. After all, she is a cancer that the righteous people of Star Sui Continent want to eliminate quickly. Letting them enter and leave their territory is no different than seeking death.
"Huh? Ah, Ah Sang is back!" As she gradually approached, several little kids playing in the yard finally spotted her figure and shouted excitedly.
"Why did you guys run out again?" Sang Yue said, untying her cloak as she stepped into the barrier.
He took off his hood, revealing a head of thick, silky white hair.
The erosion of the divine curse makes people miserable, and they suffer physical and mental torture for a long time. Over time, her originally short black hair turned white. Boring white, like the withered yellow leaves on a tree, completely devoid of life.
As her cultivation remained stable for longer and longer, her dry hair gradually regained its luster, allowing her to see hope of living.
At the beginning, she still cut her long white hair short. As her hair became smoother and smoother, she gradually became reluctant to cut it. When it grows long, I will grab a handful in front of my body and stroke it gently from time to time, coveting the soft and slippery feel.
Unfortunately, decades have passed, and her hair and eyebrows are still frosty white, with not a single black hair to be found.
She was too busy and had no time to study the potion to turn white hair into black.
Even if I have time, I don't bother to study it. If the curse is not removed for a day, even if my hair is black, it will turn white sooner or later, so why bother? There was also the injury on her face. No pus was oozing out, but the scars were still there.
My voice is as hoarse as ever, but I can speak, but I can't speak loudly enough.
The old injury caused by the divine curse has recurred, and the effect of medication has little effect. It can only improve one's own cultivation and strengthen the suppression of the curse seal. Therefore, she spends a lot of time practicing in her daily life, and doesn't care about her image.
