Cao Xiu looked at the small pool of spring water at the bottom of the pool, and couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.

If he wants to continue to grow other elixirs with the water of life in the future, he can't afford to consume it for long!

Although Cao Xiu still didn't know the specific value of these water of life, just such a drop could save the Zhuguo Spirit Tree ten years of growth time, and this alone was enough for him to know that the water of life was definitely a treasure that was hard to find in the world.

Ordinary treasures are easy to find, and spiritual fruits like Zhu Guo are not difficult to find, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy them.

But the water of life is such a magical treasure, let alone buying, he has never even heard of it before.

It's just that although he regrets it in his heart, he still doesn't hesitate to look at the little vermilion fruit full of greenery, and continues to draw the water of life for irrigation.

Cao Xiu had already tried, and with his current strength in the Acquired Realm, even if he drank the water of life again, although he would not lose the slightest benefit, the vast majority of life energy was all integrated into his body and lurked, and he could not turn into strength at all.

He knew that this was his willingness to be too low, and unless he was willing to continuously consume the water of life and rely on the power of life to break the shackles of the physical body, it would be impossible to ascend to the realm of too strong.

But if he really wants to do this, when the realm is insufficient, he will definitely not be able to hide the vigorous vitality in his body, and if he doesn't do it, he will make himself like Tang monk meat, and he may attract many demons and monsters to covet him.

Even those evil demons may be devoured alive!

After all, there are many demons in the Evil Demon Outer Dao who devour people's hearts, and the matter of refining medicine with people also happens from time to time.

Even if it is the best result, I am afraid that I will be caught by the woman who cultivates the double cultivation evil skill and make the Ding Furnace, anyway, don't try to please it!

It was precisely because he thought of those miserable consequences that Cao Xiu was very cautious, so he wouldn't mess around!

At present, unless he can still obtain the seeds of other elixirs, if he wants to improve his strength in a short period of time, taking Zhu Guo is his only shortcut at present.

But even if other elixirs are planted, they still need the water of life to grow quickly, and there is no essential difference between cultivating the Zhuguo Spirit Tree.

Therefore, Cao Xiu could only endure the distress and continue.

Fortunately, after so much water of life irrigated, the Zhu Guo Spirit Tree did not live up to his expectations.

In just a few days, the vermilion fruit turned from green to red, and gradually exuded an attractive fruity aroma!

If it's outside, it's bound to attract the attention of others.

Even in the deep mountains and old forests, there will be a lot of monsters fighting, and there may be a lot of movement!

However, in this painting, it is said that it is only the aroma of the vermilion fruit, and even if the ginseng fruit is grown, it is impossible to penetrate the breath outside!

Cao Xiu looked at Zhu Guo, who was about to fully ripen, and his heart was full of joy.

In the past few days, he had already counted the vermilion fruits on the spirit tree, and there were as many as thirty-two.

He didn't know if this number was more or less compared to the other Vermilion Spirit Trees.

But for him, these more than 30 Zhu Fruits are enough for him to practice the Pure Yang Boy to the realm of Dacheng!

If so many spirit fruits can't make this exercise break through the acquired realm, then it can only be said that this is not an exercise that people can cultivate at all!

Cao Xiu was excited, but seeing that although Zhu Guo was already red, it was still a little short of completely ripe, so he was not in a hurry.

It's only been a long time to wait, and he can afford to wait!

Seeing that it was not early, and it would not be long before his mother would come back from the shop, he hurriedly dodged out of the cave.

Out of the room, he got up and went to the kitchen to wash rice and cook!

In the past two years, the business of the shop has been getting better and better, and it is not that their family can't afford to use servants, but the Wang family has spent most of the money they earned on cultivating their two sons, plus she has left the family, she is unwilling to raise her two sons into the temperament of the eldest young master, so they let them do many things by themselves.

Cao Xiu has no opinion on this, as long as he has time, he will prepare the meals in advance, so as not to get tired of his mother outside, and take care of them when he goes home!

It's just that when cooking, Cao Xiu hesitated again and again, and finally didn't add the water of life to the pot.

The last time he invited Chen Shi to eat a goat that had been healed by the water of life, Chen Shi felt that he must have used the elixir treasured at home.

But whether he hid other elixirs in his house or not, his mother Wang knew best, if he used the water of life again, he would not be able to explain it to his mother at all, and in the end, Wang would only worry about the origin of the treasure in vain!

So he hesitated for a moment, but decided to give up for the time being, and after a while, he was planning to improve his strength.

Whew!

Just as he pulled the bellows whirring, the sound of his younger brother Cao Chong chattering came from outside.

But it was Wang who went to the academy to pick up his youngest son, who was studying.

Because she is still busy with things in the shop every day, she doesn't have so much time to teach her children to read and write, so spending some money to send them to the academy is the best choice.

In fact, not only Cao Chong, but also Cao Xiu and Chen Shi are also studying in Chengnan Academy, but they are different from those who are interested in their careers, they don't need to be famous, and they fish for three days and dry their nets for two days after learning about the same thing, and often find excuses not to go.

Especially Cao Xiu has been focusing on the Zhu Guoling Tree recently, and he has no heart to go to the academy.

"Mother!"

Cao Xiu's mother rushed in to say hello.

It was only that she soon found that her mother's eyebrows were slightly frowning, and she was obviously thinking a little, so she asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Wang glanced at his eldest son, but he didn't plan to say anything.

But seeing that he has grown taller than himself, he can be regarded as a big and small man, and he is also the future pillar of the family, not a little kid like Cao Chong.

So after thinking about it, he still said: "Recently, the business of the shop is good, and some people are hot-eyed and eyeing our family, wanting to get a piece of the pie." ”

Cao Xiu couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Who is so bold?" ”

"It's not clear for the time being, there have always been some scoundrels who have come to make trouble in the past two days, and it is estimated that some people want to take the opportunity to test it."

Wang sighed: "If no one supports them, just with those splashes, they don't dare to come to the door to provoke easily!"

But you don't have to worry, although we left the Cao family, but we are not without roots, if we really can't afford to provoke your uncle to come over, just rely on those gangs in the city, can we not give face? ”

"That's just as well!"

Cao Xiu nodded, and didn't mention it again.

His strength is too weak now, and he hasn't even reached the innate, even if there is something at home, it won't be his turn to come out!

Not to mention, don't look at his mother Wang's soft and weak appearance, in fact, she also has the cultivation of Ning Yuan Realm, and her strength is quite good, if it is just those gangs in the city, you really don't need to pay attention to it!

"Okay, anyway, my uncle has given us a cover, and I'm not afraid of someone making trouble!"

said and beckoned to his younger brother: "Brother come here, take the dishes and chopsticks and prepare to eat!" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Cao Chong was about to run into the kitchen to help, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside!

"Who?"

Cao Chong ran over on his short legs and opened the courtyard door.

Then I saw two middle-aged men with luxurious clothes and extraordinary temperament standing outside the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

Cao Chong blinked and looked at the two of them with some curiosity.

Compared with Cao Chong, who didn't know who came, the faces of the Wang family and Cao Xiu's mother and son at the kitchen door changed.
