"Do we o water it?"

  "Snap!..."

  Just as Xu Taiping was about to go find water, something suddenly pushed aside the soil that was inally used to cover the soybean seeds.

  "Hmm? It's... it's sprouting? So fast!"

  Curiously, he squatted down and was stuo find that the soybean he had just pnted in the ground had already sprouted.

  Not only that, but after the tender sprout broke through the soil, it grew stems and leaves at a visible speed, and then bloomed and bore fruit.

  In just a moment, a mature bean pod appeared in front of Xu Taiping.

  This bean pod was about four feet tall, with lush green leaves that seemed to be dripping with water. The three bean pods hanging from it were translut like jade, and anyone could tell that they were not ordinary objects.

  "Could the fortuity my grandfather mentioned be the beans ihese three bean pods?"

  Curiously, Xu Taiping reached out his hand, wanting to pick the three bean pods.

  "Little one."

  Just as Xu Taiping reached out his hand towards the three bean pods, a very pleasant voice suddenly sounded from the bean pod in front of him.

  Immediately after, Xu Taiping saw a milky white light, like smoke, emerge from the stems and leaves of the bean pod, eventually verging into the figure of a beautiful fairy in front of him.

  "Wait before you pick them."

  The fairy looked at Xu Taiping with a sweet smile, who was already dumbfounded.

  "You... you... are you a monster, or... an immortal?"

  Finally regaining his senses, Xu Taiping tried hard to calm his mind, but his voice was still a bit stuttering.

  "An immortal? Perhaps I used to be, but now, I only be sidered a wisp of remnant soul, surviving by parasitizing this bean."

  The woman thought for a moment and then smiled bitterly.

  "Little one, don't be afraid. I won't harm you, nor I harm you. I only appeared now because I want to make a deal with you."

  She tio speak to Xu Taiping.

  "A deal?"

  Xu Taiping was a bit puzzled.

  "My inal name is Chu Lingyue. Six hundred years ago, I was ambushed by my enemies, my physical body was sealed, and my soul was shattered. Only this wisp of remnant soul mao escape by relying on this bean. Later, this bean traveled thousands of miles and fell into the hands of yrandfather, aually yrandfather passed it on to you. It was only today, when you p in this spiritual nd, that the bean was reborn and I was able to see the light of day again."

  The beautiful woman siold Xu Taiping.

  "If I hadn't e up the mountain, would you have had to stay in the bean forever, Fairy?"

  Xu Taiping asked curiously.

  Although he was mature for his age, he was still a young boy of about ten years old, and curiosity outweighed fear.

  "Yes, and not only would I have to stay in the bean, but in another year or two, when the spiritual power in the bean is pletely exhausted, I'm afraid this wisp of remnant soul would also dissipate."

  Chu Lingyue nodded, not hiding anything from Xu Taiping.

  "Then, Fairy, what do you mean by the deal you mentioned?"

  Xu Taiping didn't overlook the main point of the question because of his curiosity.

  "These three bean pods on this bean pod, you take only one and leave the remaining two for me?"

  Chu Lingyue asked Xu Taiping seriously.

  "Acc to what you said, only the person who p pick the bean pods on this bean pod?"

  Xu Taiping blinked his big eyes and looked at Chu Lingyue.

  "With such a clever grandson, Xu Zhi'an should be able to rest in pea the herworld."

  Chu Lingyue was surprised by Xu Taiping's words, she smiled and nodded, "Yes, only the pnter pick the fruit on it."

  "I uand."

  Xu Taiping nodded.

  "Si's a deal, what do you pn to exge with me, Fairy?"

  He asked Chu Lingyue.

  "If you take only one, I am willing to tell you some secrets about this bean, as well as a prescription that help with bone cultivation."

  Chu Lingyue said seriously.

  Her eyes at this moment clearly no loreated Taiping as a child.

  Upon hearing Chu Lingyue say that she had a prescription that could help with bone cultivation, a hint of joy fshed in Xu Taiping's eyes.

  "Fairy, how I trust you?"

  Xu Taiping tio ask without ging his expression.

  "I give you the prescription first. After you try it and find it effective, it's not too te to make a deal with me."

  Chu Lingyue said didly.

  Xu Taiping stared at Chu Lingyue's eyes without blinking for a long time before nodding, "o try, I promise to make a deal with you, Fairy."

  "What? Aren't you afraid that I'm deceiving you?"

  Seeing Xu Taiping agree so readily, Chu Lingyue was a bit surprised.

  "My grandfather said that after I phis bean, I would receive a fortuity. It seems that you are my fortuity, Fairy."

  Xu Taiping answered seriously.

  Chu Lingyue was first taken aback, then covered her mouth and smiled, "I didn't expect you, little oo be quite eloquent. You're much better than yrandfather in this aspect."

  "Are you familiar with my grandfather, Fairy?"

  Xu Taiping suddenly asked curiously.

  From Chu Lingyue's words, Xu Taiping could vaguely hear that she had actually had some unication with his grandfather.

  "I don't have much time to e out, so let me tell you about this bean first."

  Chu Lingyue ged the subject.

  "Okay."

  Xu Taiping nodded and didn't dwell on the previous questio cross-legged on the ground, looking like he was ready to listen attentively."The bean yrandfather gave you earlier, also known as the Earth-Hiding Fruit, is aremely mysterious spiritual object. If you pnt it in the Immortal Mountain, it absorb the spiritual energy of the mountain and use this energy as a foundation to nurture ureasures within its fruit."

  Fairy Lingyue didn't beat around the bush, but directly expined.

  "Fairy, are you saying that if this seed is pnted in different Immortal Mountains, the fruit it eventually bears will be vastly different?"

  Xu Taipi amazed and also had a question.

  "That's right."

  Fairy Lingyue nodded approvingly.

  "The spiritual energy tained in each Immortal Mountain is different, just like people, everyone is uherefore, the Earth-Hiding Fruit will bear different fruits on different mountains, and the treasures nurtured within the fruits are also different."

  She expined in more detail.

  "This tiny soybean is so extraordinary, no wonder my grandfather said it was a great fortuity."

  After hearing Fairy Lingyue's detailed expnation, Xu Taiping looked astonished.

  His initial guess was that this soybean seed was at most some kind of treasure like an immortal fruit, but he didn't expect it to be a divine object that could nurture treasures.

  "Pie of the bean pods and peel it open."

  Fairy Lingyue poi the three bean pods on the beanstalk.
