Chapter 181 Preparations in Advance
Before Tao Tao could even speak, the young man waved his sleeve and sent her directly out of the courtyard. When she came to her senses, she was already in the woods, bathed in the thick moonlight, and felt a strange sense of loneliness.
So this is what a Core Formation stage cultivator is like? Truly terrifying…
"The auction is still a few days away, where should we go now?"
Suddenly a voice came from the side. Tao Tao turned her head and saw that it was A Wu. Only then did she remember that A Wu had been sent to follow her.
"Let's go back first. I need to think things over carefully."
Speaking of going back, of course she'd go back to the Lu residence, since she has nowhere else to go right now.
“Yes.” A-Wu nodded obediently and followed Tao Tao as she took out the leaf-shaped flying artifact.
On the way back, Tao Tao pondered for a long time, but still couldn't help asking, "What is your owner's background?"
"I'm sorry, I can't say much about my master. I can only tell you that my master's surname is Pei and his given name is Qingyan. He came to Gu Ning City to save the young master."
"And what about you?" Tao Tao suddenly turned around, staring at A Wu with her big eyes.
“I…I am called A-Wu, and I am my master’s maid…”
A-Wu doesn't talk much about her own affairs and seems very humble. She keeps a close eye on Tao Tao at all times, which is different from when she met Tao Tao on the street, when her eyes were still bright.
"My name is Le Taotao. We're tied together for now, so let's get to know each other. By the way, your arm..."
"It's nothing, it's just that I was punished by my master. It will grow back in a while." A-Wu was flattered that Tao Tao would care about her arm, but she didn't dare to think too much about it. She subconsciously gripped the empty sleeve with her other hand, looking very careful.
Will it grow back?
This surprised Tao Tao greatly. Could she also be a demon beast?
So Tao Tao used his divine sense to investigate and found that A Wu was just an ordinary human, not a demon beast at all. But if she wasn't a demon beast, why did her broken arm grow back? Could it be that her constitution was different from ordinary people?
Although Tao Tao was curious, she didn't ask any more questions. She wasn't familiar with A Wu, so there was no reason for her to pry.
Not knowing if Tao Tao would continue to ask questions she couldn't answer, A Wu felt uneasy and started thinking of a solution. But then Tao Tao gently touched her storage bracelet, and a green, grade three pill appeared in her palm.
With a gentle smile, she handed the pill to A-Wu, saying, "This is a Rejuvenation Pill. It can be used to restore your vital energy and may be helpful for your injuries."
"For me?" A-Wu couldn't believe it. She stared blankly at the pill in Tao Tao's hand, too afraid to take it. In the past, when she was injured or punished by her master, she always relied on herself to recover. Sometimes it would take several days, and the pain kept her awake at night.
This was the first time someone had given her something, which made her feel flattered and overwhelmed.
"Yes, take it quickly. Go back and meditate for a while. It should help a bit." Tao Tao smiled and stuffed the Rejuvenation Pill into A Wu's hand, then turned around and focused on controlling the flying magic weapon.
A-Wu stared blankly at the pill in his hand, a warmth he had never felt before rising in his heart.
Back at the Lu residence in the blink of an eye, Tao Tao had just landed and put away her magic weapon when she saw Lu Bai rushing over anxiously, asking with a worried look, "Miss Le, where have you been? I thought something had happened to you, you were nowhere to be seen so late at night."
Seeing how clearly he knew her every move, Tao Tao suspected that Lu Bai had been secretly watching her, but she didn't care if he was watching her.
"I was just killing time in the evening, so I went for a stroll around the streets," Tao Tao said with a sweet smile.
Lu Bai was surprised and unsure whether Tao Tao was telling the truth. He asked suspiciously, "Did you find anything? The trade fair hasn't started yet, but some smaller, private trade fairs are underway. You might find something that interests you there."
"I just went out to eat something, and I was a little hungry at night."
Tao Tao wouldn't tell Lu Bai the truth. She patted her belly, looking quite adorable. These words left Lu Bai speechless, and he couldn't ask any more questions. He gave a few instructions and prepared to leave, but when he turned around, he saw A Wu next to Tao Tao and was greatly surprised. "Who is this?"
I remember there was no one else around Tao Tao at the time, and where did she come from? How come I didn't notice her?
A-Wu was also helpless. She had been standing there for a long time, but this person hadn't noticed her at all. It seemed that his mind was on Tao Tao.
“Her name is A-Wu, and she is my…” Tao Tao was about to say the word “friend” when A-Wu interrupted crisply, “maid.”
Lu Bai expressed his confusion, "But how come I've never seen this before?"
"Young master knows my young master very well?" A-Wu suddenly raised his eyes, abandoning his previous submissive demeanor, and became sharp and stern.
"That's not it..."
Sensing that A-Wu was deliberately targeting him, Lu Bai didn't know what to say. He could only smile awkwardly and didn't press the matter further. He then ordered someone to arrange a room for A-Wu, right next to Tao Tao's.
The trade fair is in a few days, and Tao Tao needs to be fully prepared. This time, she was unexpectedly assigned a task by Pei Qingyan, and she has to rack her brains to complete it.
"Awu, do you know of any treasures that can heal serious injuries and restore one's vitality? I've tried things like the Guiyuan Pill, but it didn't work; it must be because the power wasn't enough."
While Tao Tao was taking stock of the items in the storage bracelet, he casually asked A Wu questions.
"Yes, the Liuxian Lotus Platform."
"Yes, your master wants to use it to repair his daughter's spiritual root, so it shouldn't be a problem to use it for healing."
"I advise you not to covet the Liuxian Lotus Platform. The master cares deeply for the young master and has spent hundreds of years searching for a way to repair his spiritual roots. He finally learned about the Liuxian Lotus Platform from a secret scroll and is determined to obtain it. If you dare to compete for it, he will not let you go."
"I know, I was just asking."
Seeing how serious A-Wu was, Tao Tao shrugged and pretended to be indifferent. But she had asked this question specifically, so it must not be just talk. After all, it concerned Bai Yan, and she cared most about his affairs. In order to help him recover, she would try anything, even if it meant taking unconventional methods.
"I need to rest now, you should rest too." Tao Tao waved his hand, and A Wu understood, got up, bowed slightly, and left.
As soon as she left, Tao Tao immediately took out the white jade hairpin with a flower branch, opened it, and entered the space. She had already tidied up the space, and it looked a little more like a place with life. She was looking forward to the scene of Bai Yan returning to human form and living here with her.
“I’ve watered all those spiritual herbs, but the saplings of the Twin Trees you specifically mentioned haven’t sprouted yet. Could they be dead?”
Ever since Qianfeng Liuyunma was tamed, Taotao put it in the Flower Branch Space to take care of her medicinal garden, and also specifically instructed it to look after the saplings of the Twin Trees.
Who would have thought that this magnificent steed would be watering the ground? Qianfeng Liuyunma was speechless with frustration, but unfortunately, it couldn't beat Taotao, so it could only accept its fate. It was better than being eaten by her.
"Impossible. At most, the spirit spring's entire body isn't pure enough to support its growth." Tao Tao pouted, walked over to take a look, and realized that her guess was correct.
It was probably because she placed the little silver dragon that Bai Yan had transformed into in the spiritual spring to nourish it, causing the little silver dragon to absorb almost all the nutrients from the spiritual spring. The twin trees also needed a lot of spiritual energy to nourish them, which is why they hadn't sprouted yet.
Looks like I'll have to get some more spiritual spring water.
"Actually, if you can get your hands on the spirit marrow, this spirit spring will have an endless supply of energy, and you can use as much as you want."
"Spiritual marrow?" Tao Tao was very surprised. Qian Feng Liu Yun Ma nodded. "Yes, spiritual marrow, but this is a rare treasure and very difficult to obtain. You should give up."
"You should have said so earlier. If it were spiritual essence, it would have been much simpler."
Bai Yan had taught her how to refine this stuff a long time ago, but she hadn't paid attention and was always trying to slack off, so she hadn't refined much. Now, even for Bai Yan's sake, she had to take it seriously this time.
"Simple? Aren't you being a little too confident?" Qianfeng Liuyunma couldn't believe it. That was spiritual essence! It was being talked about as if it were something that could be obtained easily. Many people might not even see it in their entire lives.
While it was talking, Tao Tao quickly sat down cross-legged on the spot, her spiritual energy was mobilized, and a faint halo surrounded her. A pure spiritual energy was released, which made Qianfeng Liuyunma's eyes widen.
"Such abundant spiritual energy, what is she doing?"
