Chapter 219: Mustard Seed As Mount Sumeru?
Lu Qiaoge was stunned for a moment.
There were actually so many?
The old turtle could count, so it should be correct.
So, the few boxes mentioned earlier had turned into eleven boxes?
At this time, the big pike and the old turtle swam back.
The big pike discovered that its speed and flexibility were better than before.
So it stuck its big head out of the water, and Lu Qiaoge had just seen it was even holding something in its mouth.
Lu Qiaoge took it over; it had a bit of sparkle, but there was some mud and water rust on it, so she couldn’t tell what it was for the moment.
The big carp said: 【Sparkling things, this is sparkling things, from one of the boxes.】
Lu Qiaoge brushed it in the water; at first she thought it was a silver dollar, but after washing it clean, she discovered it was a silver cake, the size of a small biscuit. Because of the long time, the full appearance of the silver cake couldn’t be seen, but it was actually silver made into a cake shape.
This silver cake was not an antique; it was from modern times.
Lu Qiaoge dumped everything out of the canvas bag and hung it around the turtle’s neck, saying, “Go pick up the scattered ones for me and put them in here.”
Although the big pike was old in age, it still had a child’s heart and happily spun in circles.
【Good good good, we guarantee to pick them all up. Little fairy, you just wait.】
The old turtle was more steady, its small bean eyes looking eagerly at Lu Qiaoge.
Lu Qiaoge reacted; oh right, I need to cheer you on.
Lu Qiaoge went one by one to channel energy to them. Actually, it was very simple, just placing her palm on their foreheads.
Lu Qiaoge could feel a wonderful connection with the little animal under her hand.
Then these little animals felt the same.
This energy was stored in their bodies.
According to the old turtle, for animals like them, if they really cultivated, there was no specific method; they just naturally followed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
As for achieving the Dao and becoming an immortal or cultivating into a human, those were all stories made up by humans.
Whatever species is what species.
But making them smarter and more flexible, and living longer, that was real.
So what more could they ask for?
Wasn’t that what humans ultimately sought too?
Lu Qiaoge leisurely waited by the shore.
After two hours, the sun had already set on the mountain peak.
They say morning glow doesn’t travel far, but evening glow goes a thousand miles.
The gorgeous evening glow accompanied the sunset, dyeing the mountain peaks on the west side, looking like a fairyland.
And the old turtle, returning again, suddenly asked Lu Qiaoge: 【Little fairy, do you know about mustard seed Sumeru?】
Lu Qiaoge was stunned for a moment.
Of course she knew.
It was a very small place that could hold very large things.
Before crossing over here, she was already the base commander of Base
Because she was a ninth-tier three-element esper.
One of them was space; the space at ninth tier was very large—so large that Lu Qiaoge felt if she said it out loud, even if the old turtle thought she was a fairy, it would think she was bragging.
Unfortunately, the space didn’t come with her.
If the space was here, it would be great; she could raise these intelligent little animals in her space.
That way, even if the water of Hongxing Lake dried up, it wouldn’t matter.
Her other wood element superpower was also gone, but it might have transformed into affinity with the little animals.
Another one was speed.
This one came with her, but actually it was only at first-tier level.
As for strength…
The original Lu Qiaoge had more strength than an ordinary little girl.
It might be due to family genetics.
Old Lu had great strength too.
And Lu Zhiguo could easily lift a sack of over two hundred jin with one hand.
Why did Lu Zhiguo join the transportation team, and why couldn’t several people manage to transfer him away?
It was because of his great strength.
Actually, this wasn’t rare or exaggerated; among ordinary people, there were many strongmen, and there were even strongman competitions every year.
Then her strength, with the bonus of energy, naturally grew exponentially.
Carrying over 1000 jin was very easy.
Of course, she was a girl and needed to watch her image.
Except for carrying gold, she had no interest in other things.
Lu Qiaoge nodded: “I’ve seen it written in story books, and there are even things like universe in a sleeve or treasure-gathering basin.”
The old turtle: 【Right, although the names are different, the meaning is similar. I heard the old Daoist say this exists, but it has spirituality and doesn’t appear in the world ordinarily. Little fairy, you can look for it; what if you find it? Then you would have a place for your gold and silver jewelry.】
Even, if it could hold living things, we could benefit too.
The old turtle didn’t think it was wildly imaginative, because it was facing a little fairy who could communicate with them.
The old Daoist claimed to have cultivated since childhood, but he couldn’t communicate with it either, and even thought it couldn’t understand human speech, cursing it as a stupid old turtle that should be stewed into soup.
Lu Qiaoge smiled: “Good, I’ll definitely look carefully.”
The old turtle turned happily and dove into the water, quickly swimming toward the big pike.
This was the last trip.
The old turtle, returning together with the big pike, said to Lu Qiaoge: 【We’ve searched all the places we could find; there shouldn’t be any more.】
She checked the time; it was already past five o’clock.
Lu Qiaoge came prepared today.
She had also put an iron bucket and net bag in her handbag; she had removed the pole from the net bag and simply tied it with branches. Actually, she didn’t need the little animals’ help, but they just liked to help. She didn’t know what method they used, but groups of fish and shrimp crazily came toward Lu Qiaoge’s feet.
It was simply like falling into a fish nest.
Lu Qiaoge didn’t take even a few minutes; easily, she scooped up a full bucket of fish and shrimp in the reed marsh.
Among them were several big crucian carp.
Then the silver cakes scooped up were exactly 120 pieces.
The shoulder bag definitely couldn’t hold them, so Lu Qiaoge put them in the canvas bag she had brought.
Fortunately, these small silver cakes together weighed less than fifty jin.
Adding a bucket of fish and shrimp, the bicycle’s tire load capacity was completely fine.
Lu Qiaoge touched them one by one again, then as usual, exhorted them to be careful. Watching them swim to the depths of the lake water, Lu Qiaoge then picked up her handbag and rode her bicycle home.
Lu Qiaoge’s shoulder bag was wet; after washing it clean, she simply put everything in the handbag.
When she got home, Meng Xia had already bought the tofu and returned, and was busy in the kitchen.
Lu Qiaoge casually put the things in the courtyard and asked Meng Xia: “Mom, do you need my help?”
Meng Xia said: “No need, you rest. By the way, where did you go?”
Lu Qiaoge took out a stone: “I went to catch fish and conveniently picked up a few stones.”
Only then did Meng Xia see the bucket of fish and shrimp that Lu Qiaoge had placed in the courtyard.
She immediately looked around for the calico cat everywhere. Not finding the cat’s shadow, she happily said: “Your cat isn’t home, so we’ll keep half the fish, and send the other half to Fourth Uncle’s house.”
Lu Qiaoge agreed.
She carried the handbag into the bedroom and wrapped the cleaned silver cakes, placing them in the wardrobe.
The Lu family members had no habit of rummaging through things.
From Old Mrs. Lu to Xiao Si, they were all like that.
Meng Xia didn’t help them clean their rooms either; each cleaned their own room.
So Lu Qiaoge was very reassured.
