Chapter 132 Punishment

"You, you, you, you don't keep your word!" Xiao Qiao stopped immediately.

"Why did I break my promise? I didn't promise, did I?"

"You have to agree anyway." Xiao Qiao looked like he wouldn't give up until he agreed.

"No." Zhao Yu smiled and shook his head: "Zhao Ji wants to punish you because you have done something wrong, and you deserve the punishment. But rewards..."

Zhao Yu weighed the egg in his hand and said with a smile: "When the little guy inside hatches, I'll leave it to you, how about it?"

Only then did Sun Ren speak: "But who knows what's inside, what if it's a big caterpillar?"

Zhao Yu couldn't laugh or cry: "How could it be a big green insect? How about we make a bet, the little guy here will be majestic and mighty. If not, I will promise Xiao Qiao that Zhao Ji will not punish you in the future."

"keep your word!"

Xiao Qiao immediately became energetic.

"Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow."

Xiao Qiao and Cai Xiaomei cheered, and even Sun Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Zhao Yu poured down a ladle of cold water: "Let's go back and receive the punishment."

When the three of them heard this, they were like deflated rubber balls, dejected.

After going down the mountain and returning to the other courtyard, Zhao Ji was waiting for them. Without saying a word, he pinched Cai Xiaomei's ears, and the punishment began amidst Cai Xiaomei's painful cries.

Zhao Yu looked on with a smile, unmoved no matter how Xiao Qiao and Cai Xiaomei pretended to be pitiful.

"Little sister and little sister Xiao Qiao will follow me to learn Nuhong from now on. Sister Shangxiang will copy a hundred thousand copies of the book. No martial arts practice will be allowed until the copy is completed."

"ah?!"

Zhao Yu laughed.

Zhao Ji rolled her eyes at Zhao Yu and led the three dejected criminals to the wooden courtyard.

Zhao Yu returned to the Tuyuan with a smile. There was a gust of wind and Xiaobai climbed over the wall and entered. This guy, now an adult, is a giant. The silver-white fur glows with metallic luster, each one smooth and smooth. With a body of two feet long and shoulders more than ten feet high, Zhao Yu looked like a child in front of it.

But facing Zhao Yu, Xiaobai is still Xiaobai. Even if Xiao Bai is now a super martial arts master who is not afraid of being reincarnated, he is still a pet to Zhao Yu.

As soon as it acted coquettishly, it approached Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu slapped its head open and scolded: "Are you willing to come back?"

At this time, seven or eight tigers, large and small, and five or six bears, climbing over the walls and scurrying through the doors, also came in swarm.

Zhao Yu originally captured tigers and bears from the mountains, and now they have multiplied into a large family. And Xiaobai is their head. Either running around in other courtyards, or missing for seven or eight days. Apart from Xiao Qiao and Cai Xiaomei, they are the largest group of troublemakers. However, compared to Xiao Qiao and Cai Xiaomei, they shoulder some sparring and guarding responsibilities.

Sparring means practicing with Guan Hai and others. As for the guards, this is their home and of course they must be protected.

Zhao Yu did not restrict the freedom of these guys. They were all branded and they could enter and exit the Five Elements and Four Symbols Array at will. Often when they cannot be found in other courtyards, they usually go outside to have fun. Speaking of which, among the tiger and bear families, in addition to those captured by Zhao Yu and bred directly in other courtyards, there are also those who fish in troubled waters and are kidnapped from outside.

At first, these fishermen who were trying to fish in troubled waters could not get in when they circled outside the formation. It was Xiaobai who dragged Zhao Yu over and marked him as a member of the other courtyard.

Xiaobai made a purring sound in his stomach and rolled around acting coquettishly in front of Zhao Yu. The other guys followed suit and rolled into a ball, making Zhao Yu dumbfounded: "Okay, okay, everyone, get out."

The sleeves were rolled up, and the group of beasts were rolled out directly. Bang bang bang, squeak, squeak, and there was a mess outside the yard.

Returning to the alchemy room, Zhao Yu put down the alchemy furnace.

Sitting down cross-legged, Zhao Yu held the egg, thought about it for a moment, then placed it into the alchemy furnace, poured a stream of essence fire into it, and then ignored it.

Anyway, no matter what kind of ancient creature it is, it is probably just a novelty to Zhao Yu and is of little use. Just like Xiaobai, he is just a pet at most. It was the spiritual seeds that made Zhao Yu quite interested.

Taking out this dark seed, which was no bigger than a finger, from his cuff, Zhao Yu penetrated it with his spiritual sense and began to experience it carefully.

After all, it takes a long time. This seed preserved the vitality of the egg, but it did not germinate. As time went by, the energy inside it was consumed, and it became extremely weak. It seems that in another 35, 7, 800 years, no more than a thousand years at most, they will completely die together with the stone eggs.

The vital energy inside this seed has a long and far-reaching charm. According to Zhao Yu's guess, the spiritual creature represented by the seed and the treasure it breeds must contain considerable mysteries. But the most important thing right now is to nourish and restore its vitality, otherwise it will never sprout.

Zhao Yu looked at the seed and originally planned to put it into the Chaos Bead Small World for cultivation, but after thinking about it, he rejected it.

After experiencing the long-lasting charm contained in the seeds, he found that it had no effect on him. In this case, it is dispensable whether to cultivate it in the small world of Chaos Bead.

This Taihe Courtyard always felt like something was wrong, something was missing. Now that I think about it, it's because there is no treasure to protect the courtyard.

In this universe, on this earth, among the myths and legends of the Xia people, which immortal family's dojo and courtyard does not have some precious treasures to live in? Either a magic weapon or a spiritual root. Taihe and other courtyards are not occupied either.

Zhao Yu was happy thinking about it.

"Then plant it in another courtyard."

As for where to plant it specifically, there is no need to choose, Muyuan.

To replenish its Yuan Qi, you only need to connect it with the Five Elements and Four Symbols Formation, and nourish it with the Five Elements Yuan Qi every day, and sooner or later it will regain its vitality.

Zhao Yu is not in a hurry about this.

Ten years or eight years, three years or two years, it doesn’t matter.

The fruit forest in the wooden courtyard is a peach forest. Zhao Yu came to the peach grove, dug a hole in the middle of the peach grove, and buried the seeds. Then he stirred up the formation to attract the Five Elements Yuan Qi and inject it into it.

"It seems that the Five Elements and Four Symbols array needs to be strengthened."

After doing all this, Zhao Yu thought in his heart.

When this formation was originally deployed, Zhao Yu's cultivation was far inferior to what it is now. The base of the formation is made of jade talismans, which is actually not very strong. At present, this formation has to protect other courtyards, provide Yuan Qi for refining core power modules in the future, and now it has to cultivate the seeds of spiritual roots, which is considered to be stretched thin.

It is imperative to strengthen the formation.

Zhao Yu thought about it as he walked out of the peach forest and saw Zhao Ji, Mi Zhen, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao and Cai Xiaomei together in the distance. There was also Mrs. Cai, who was giving guidance.

Zhao Ji, Mi Zhen, and Da Qiao all had a dustpan between their knees and were using it for needlework. Xiao Qiao and Cai Xiaomei, on the other hand, were restless in front of the old lady, as if there was fire under their feet.

As for Sun Ren, he should be copying books in the study at this time.
