After calling out Gu Sheng, Lan Yao asked excitedly, "Gu Sheng, is this the Hundred Ghost Grass you planted?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment.
"Hundred Ghost Grass? What?"
After he finished speaking, Lan Yao was also stunned.
"You have quite a few of these in your yard, didn't you grow them?"
He leaned over and took a look. Gu Sheng shook his head. "I don't know. I didn't grow this. It grew by myself. I only planted the carefully tended herbs."
Turning around to look, Lan Yao frowned slightly.
"Are you saying that you planted those herbs that can be seen everywhere, and these precious Hundred Ghost Grass plants grow naturally?"
"Precious? Is this thing rare?"
"Of course! We Elf race have tried to grow it before, but failed several times when it was divided into petals. In the end, it grew into a single stem, which has no value at all. Look at this one, although it is also a small one, it has already divided into three petals, and its value is already very high!"
"What about those?"
"Those are the same. Some have two petals, some have three petals. They are all very valuable. Are you sure you have never paid attention to them? They all grow naturally?"
"Yes, I never take these things seriously, because these places are useless, so I let them grow. If they were useful, I would have eradicated them long ago."
Hearing this, Lan Yao stood up excitedly.
"That's not possible! The value of this Hundred Ghost Grass is higher than the herbs in your entire yard. How can you get rid of it? Are you crazy?"
After he finished speaking, Gu Sheng felt dumbfounded.
"If you don't tell me, I really don't know what this is, so I will naturally regard it as useless."
"Gu Sheng, you are really helpless. I planted flowers but they didn't bloom, but you didn't plant willows to make shade. But you didn't recognize them. Fortunately, I came today, otherwise it would be a pity for these Hundred Ghost Grasss."
Touching the thin grass, Lan Yao asked softly, "Gu Sheng, now that you know what it is, can you let me study it? Don't worry, I won't take away any of it. I just want to study it and see if I can cultivate Elf race's one too."
"Whatever, you can research it as much as you want, even if you dig it out and bring it back to Elf race, it doesn't matter."
"Really?"
"Of course, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to get these herbs. You are their benefactor, so you naturally have the right to dispose of them."
"Then I won't be polite to you."
"Do you need to be so polite between friends? I have never heard of it. If you need it, I can even give everything to you, it doesn't matter."
Hearing Gu Sheng's words, Lan Yao was extremely grateful.
"Gu Sheng, thank you."
"I remember that there is no need to say thank you between friends, isn't it?"
Seeing his raised eyebrows, Lan Yao monster couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, yes, you are right, I was too polite."
"I think so. There is no need to be so polite between you and me."
Lan Yao spread his brows and nodded to him with a smile.
Now he feels more and more that he was right to stick to Gu Sheng. He would definitely regret it if he could not be friends with such a good person.
Fortunately, they have become friends and don't have to regret it anymore.
"Gu Sheng, I want to stay with you a little longer. You have to bring out all the good wine and food. Don't hide it secretly."
"Whatever, you can stay with me as long as you want, it's up to you, but as long as it's good wine and good meat... let me think about this again."
After saying that, the two laughed together.
That night, Third Elder and Stone Village arranged a grand reception banquet for Elf race and others.
Lan Yao didn't expect to receive such hospitality, so he fell unconscious with the man that night.
After he was drunk, several elders came to Gu Sheng.
"Gu Sheng, now that you have the spirit bead in hand, do you want to refine it as soon as possible?"
After thinking for a while, Gu Sheng nodded.
"Yes, it should be refined as soon as possible."
"We have prepared a place for you, when are you going to start?"
"Just wait until Lan Yao leaves."
After hearing this, several elders disagreed.
"Gu Sheng, Lan Yao are not stingy people. He is here, and we can help you entertain him, but the spirit bead in your hand cannot wait. When you return from South Mountain, the news of getting the spirit bead will soon spread. If someone comes to your door and really takes away the spirit bead, your previous efforts will be in vain."
"Don't worry, the people in South Mountain don't know that I took the spirit beads."
"They don't know at the moment, but if someone has doubts and comes to Stone Village to see you, it will be hard to say."
"Third Elder is right. Now is the best time to refine the spirit beads. Otherwise, if someone becomes suspicious and catches up, it will be bad. Gu Sheng, it is not easy for you to get the spirit beads. If you lose them, you will never find them again."
Several elders took turns to persuade him, and Gu Sheng also began to seriously consider the matter.
After thinking again and again, he turned around and glanced at Lan Yao.
Seeing the look in his eyes, several elders knew what he was thinking, and immediately said they would help him take care of Lan Yao, and advised him to refine the spirit beads as soon as possible.
After thinking about it, Gu Sheng finally nodded.
"Don't worry, elders, I will start refining the spirit beads early tomorrow morning."
Finally receiving his answer, several elders breathed a long sigh of relief.
"You don't have to worry too much about Elf race, we will entertain them."
"Okay, I'll trouble the elders, but there's no need to spend too much time on Lan Yao. He found Hundred Poisons Grass in my yard. His thoughts should have been on this grass in the past few days, so there's no need to arrange any itinerary for him."
"We understand, just go ahead."
Gu Sheng agreed, but he still went to Lan Yao in the early morning.
Hearing the footsteps, Lan Yao immediately woke up. When he saw it was Gu Sheng, he lay back lazily.
"Gu Sheng, this room is not as comfortable as yours. I'll move to your place tonight."
"Okay, you can sleep with me for the rest of the time."
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, I won't be here these days, so you can use my things as you like."
Hearing this, Lan Yao stood up.
"You're not here? What do you mean, you want to go out?"
"I'm not going out, but I want to refine the spirit beads. I wanted to stay with you for a few days, but the elders were really pressing me. I had no choice but to agree."
Knowing what he was going to do, Lan Yao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"Gu Sheng, what the elders said is right. It is not safe to keep the spirit beads around for a long time. It is better to refine them early. You can refine them, and I will stay here to study Hundred Poisons Grass. Maybe I can wait until you come back."
"You stay here, some elders will entertain you."
"It's okay. I don't think of myself as an outsider. Your entire yard belongs to me. It doesn't matter if anyone entertains you or not. You don't have to be distracted by my affairs. Just concentrate on refining the spirit beads."
Gu Sheng smiled and nodded, chatting with him for a while before leaving.
On the way, he happened to meet Er Gou and Shi Lou.
Seeing him, both of their eyes lit up.
"Brother Sheng, are you here to protect us?"
"Huang Shan They will protect you."
"What about you? Are you not here to protect us?"
"I'm here to refine the spirit beads."
Hearing this, Er Gou turned his eyes and moved forward.
"Brother Sheng, when you refine the spirit beads, there should be some spiritual energy exposed, right? Can we absorb some of it?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng slapped him on the back of the head.
"You just concentrate on breaking through. Don't think about all the mess. You haven't broken through for a long time, and now you can finally break through. Once you are distracted, it will come back to bite you. Take all your thoughts away, or I won't be able to spare you."
Holding the back of his head, Er Gou gave him a pitiful look.
"Brother Sheng, I was just joking."
"The matter is urgent, are you kidding me? Believe it or not, I will crack your head open right now to see what's inside."
Gu Sheng pretended to knock it down, but Er Gou ran away with his head in his hands.
Looking at his back, Gu Sheng and Shi Lou couldn't help laughing.
Half an hour later, Gu Sheng came to the place arranged by Third Elder, solemnly took out the spirit bead and held it in his mouth.
In an instant, the spirit energy of the spirit bead appeared and soon filled the entire Stone Village.
Gu Sheng mobilized the energy of Dantian and enveloped the entire room, preventing any trace of spiritual energy from leaking out.
After making preparations, Gu Sheng gradually absorbed the spiritual energy released by the spirit beads into his body.
At this time, everyone in Stone Village stopped, quietly absorbing the spiritual energy leaking from Gu Sheng.
It wasn't until the last ray of spiritual energy disappeared that everyone let out a long breath.
Third Elder took people to Gu Sheng's side. Several elders sat on the ground to protect Gu Sheng.
Seven days later, Gu Sheng had absorbed half of the centuries-old spiritual power in the spirit bead. He took all the spiritual power for his own use, and his meridians suddenly increased. Even his Dantian was more than one circle larger than before.
Spiritual energy was still flowing into his body, and Gu Sheng could clearly feel that these spiritual energies seemed to have reshaped his muscles and bones.
While Gu Sheng was concentrating on refining the spirit beads, Lan Yao had been playing with Hundred Poisons Grass.
After a week, he finally found some tricks. He was so happy that he wiped the dirt from his face and laughed loudly.
At this time, one of his men suddenly ran over and said with a white face, "Sir, there is an attack outside."
Hearing this, Lan Yao frowned.
"Someone is attacking? Who is it?"
"I don't know, I couldn't feel the other person's breath, but..."
Seeing him hesitating, Lan Yao's brows tightened a little more.
"But what? If you have something to say, just say it!"
"But the strong men of Stone Village are protecting the law at Gu Sheng. Now Stone Village is unguarded. Those people are already snooping around the edges. Once they find out that there is no one guarding here, they may attack directly."
Hearing this, Lan Yao's heart immediately lifted.
He and the others had been studying Hundred Poisons Grass in the Gu Sheng yard and had no idea what was going on outside. Now that he knew that Stone Village was unguarded, he immediately became nervous.
"Is there no one outside?"
"There are people, but there is no strong one. It seems that they are no match for those people."
Knowing this, Lan Yao quickly took Elf race and everyone to the edge.
Sure enough, someone was sneaking forward at the edge, seeming to realize that there was no one here. Their speed was very fast. If he hadn't arrived in time, these people would have invaded Stone Village at one o'clock in the evening!
Gathering his troops to block the opponent's path, Lan Yao waved his right hand, and a green long sword immediately appeared in his hand.
As his divine power fluctuated, a green light glowed faintly on the green long sword, which inexplicably gave people a sense of oppression.
"Who dares to break into Stone Village! Come out and meet us quickly!"
After saying that, he swung the green long sword forward with force, and the sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the sneaky man was hit back again and again.
Seeing the figure, Lan Yao's footsteps approached again.
"Who on earth dares to cause trouble at Stone Village!"
Seeing Lan Yao approaching, the man subconsciously covered his face with his hands.
However, Lan Yao did not look at his face, but focused on the token on his waist.
After taking a closer look, a sneer appeared on his face.
"Black Fiend Sect Master Zhang Ping? I didn't expect you would dare to find this place!"
Hearing him call out his name accurately, Zhang Ping was shocked and his eyes widened.
"Lan Yao, we Black Fiend Sect and Elf race have never had any grievances. Why do you go against me so many times?"
"You and I have no enmity, but if you want to target Gu Sheng, this matter has something to do with me!"
"What does it have to do with you? You and Gu Sheng have only met each other a few times. Why do you help him everywhere? Lan Yao, I don't want to enmity with you. If you don't want to cause trouble, I advise you to pretend you didn't see it. Otherwise, when I kill Gu Sheng, I won't let you go!"
Hearing the harsh words Zhang Ping said, Lan Yao sneered again and again.
At this time, he rolled his eyes and said with a sneer, "Gu Sheng has been beaten to death by your rocks, how else do you want to kill him? Is it possible to go to the King of Hell to kill him again?"
"You fart! Gu Sheng is nothing at all!"
"Zhang Ping, Gu Sheng is dead, you said it yourself, and now you reject it yourself, who is farting!"
"That's what I said before. At that time, I really thought that Gu Sheng was stoned to death. The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. After everyone dispersed, I went to the place where he died. There was only a pile of stones. After peeling it apart, there was not even a body, not even a drop of blood. How could he have died there? He clearly stole the spirit beads and ran away! The fact that you are here doesn't prove that he came back alive?"
Hearing his words, Lan Yao curled his lips.
He thought this Zhang Ping was a fool, but now it seems that he is a little smarter than he thought.
"You didn't find Gu Sheng's body there, so you found it here? Do you want the spirit bead?"
"Yes! I just want the spirit beads! Lan Yao, now that the story has spread, there are countless people who want Gu Sheng's life. Even if it's not me, it will be someone else. Now he has stood on the opposite side of the entire world. If you don't want to be implicated by him, leave now!"
Seeing his triumphant look, Lan Yao took another step forward.
"Let me tell you, the friendship between me and Gu Sheng is not something you can instigate with just a few words. If you want to kill Gu Sheng, you must get through me first!"
