Chapter 43: Sharing the Cavernous Mansion

  The two brothers were eating their special dishes while chatting casually, at this moment, it seemed like they had endless things to talk about.

  They were talking about some recent life situations that can be discussed in public, such as: the older brother found himself getting hungrier and hungrier, the younger brother said he had the same situation, then they came up with a few reasons, one of which was correct: the two brothers are growing up and exercise consumes energy.

  The rest of the physique changes are the same as this world, because of the cultivation reasons and so on are all wrong, of course, the two brothers do not know, they think they will become a freak among the cultivators.

  For example, his younger brother recently became the dormitory head, and this position is how to do it. There are seven roommates who are all old friends. The older brother encouraged him on the side: Good job, add oil, continue to carry forward, and strive to become a class leader; Emphasizing the importance of dormitory relationships, how to get along well with everyone in the dormitory, etc. The two brothers talked very happily until the older brother whispered into his younger brother's ear, making him blush and feel very embarrassed.

  The awkwardness was ended with my brother's shyness, I buried my head and ate a lot to cover up the embarrassment. After putting the last piece of meat into my mouth, I thought of something else and whispered it in my brother's ear:

  "Come with me to a good place, and we'll have another chat, just the two of us."

  My brother saw me being mysterious and serious, so he didn't hesitate and agreed in one breath:

  "Okay, no problem."

  This meal was very satisfying, and it only cost a total of 200 Huangshi. I estimate that the most expensive dish was the leg my brother gave me. After checking the menu later, I found out that it was the leg of a third-tier magical beast, the Wild Eagle, which costs 6,000 Huangshi per piece in the cafeteria. My brother got a discount and only spent 60 Huangshi on it. If we were to eat on the first or second floor, this amount could last us several tens of days. Silently taking note, yes, not saying anything out loud, but keeping track in my heart.

  "Follow closely."

  Then he quickly ran towards Mount Newborn with wind under his feet.

  "This little brother!"

  My brother saw how quickly I was moving and couldn't help but laugh, yet he didn't want to fall behind either. He used his agility technique to chase after me, shouting loudly:

  "Amazing, your footsteps are quite impressive! I think 'Action like the wind' isn't enough, let's just call it 'Wind Step' haha O(∩_∩)O haha~ I'm here!"

  "Like wind, coming without a shadow and leaving without a trace, O(∩_∩)O haha~ that's what I'll call it."

  ……

  The two brothers stood shoulder to shoulder on a clearing at the top of the mountain, with a cliff in front of them covered with vines, and it was sunset.

  Big brother saw this and didn't think it was anything special, and asked in doubt:

  "Is this the place you wanted to bring me? There's nothing special about it!"

  I did not answer, but spoke irrelevant words:

  "Look at the sunset in the west, quickly use your intuition to feel if there's any difference."

  My younger brother said it was very urgent, with a serious look on his face, and he didn't dare to slack off. He immediately used his spiritual sense to perceive, and indeed made a discovery. With the sunset, a strand of red light would overflow, feeling that this red light had a similar subtlety to the purple light in the morning, so he tried to absorb it, and indeed could absorb it, then sped up.

  Ten minutes after sunset, the refining was completed, and I opened my eyes. A flash of surprise passed through my pupils, and all of this was seen by my brother with a look of relief. It turned out that my brother had only taken five minutes to complete the refining, which is the benefit of having high cultivation. Seeing that his younger brother was still refining, he didn't disturb him. On one hand, he observed his younger brother's situation, and on the other hand, he remained vigilant about their surroundings.

  I finally refined it and asked:

  "How did you discover it? How much of the red light was absorbed?"

  "I practiced all day yesterday and found it out at sunset with a try-on mindset; just absorbed tens of millions, but the speed is still not fast enough! How about you?"

  "It's a bit late to see the machine, but it's just close to one million Tao. I believe that next time can gain more benefits, you don't have to be discouraged, when the strength is improved, it will accelerate."

  "Hmm, I thought so too. It seems that both of us absorbing this sunset red light and sunrise purple light doesn't affect each other!"

  "Hmm, it should be a red light, several people absorbing it will benefit equally."

  The discussion about the red light has come to a conclusion, and there are still many questions. My brother is about to ask, I know his doubts, and I'll answer them one by one:

  "Yesterday, I went up the mountain to cultivate, with the goal of finding a good cultivation environment. Heaven rewards those who are diligent, and I finally discovered a cave here, which I will develop into a cave mansion. I have decided to come here often to cultivate in the future; also, I have something else to say. Brother, take a look, where is that cave mansion? It's very hidden."

  After listening to his younger brother's explanation, the older brother understood the whole story. Since he knew there was a hole here, it wasn't hard to find. The hole must be by the mountain, and just because you can't see it on the surface doesn't mean it's not there. The older brother approached the mountain wall and quickly found it, saying calmly:

  "Let's go in from here."

  I had expected as much and wasn't surprised at all, so I just smiled and said:

  "Why don't you go in and take a look?"

  My brother didn't hesitate and walked in, I followed closely behind. After entering the cave, he turned around in a circle, and finally showed some surprise, exclaiming in wonder:

  "It's indeed a big world with nothing strange about it! This cave isn't bad."

  "Brother can come here to practice too, two brothers will have a companion."

  I sincerely invite you.

  "I've been waiting for you to say exactly that."

  The elder brother replied. After saying this, both brothers laughed because they thought of the same thing.

  The elder brother walked to the side of the pool in the cave and saw the clear water that was visible to the bottom, and he was absent-minded for a while before saying:

  "Brother! We've struck gold! This pool is rich in minerals and energy. If we drink from it or bathe in it for an extended period, it'll be especially beneficial for cultivators, particularly those who practice physical cultivation!"

  As soon as I heard this, I was overjoyed and couldn't help but dance with excitement. My brother saw how worked up I was and shook his head, saying:

  "If I had known earlier, I would have put it more tactfully. Look at how excited you are. If I told you that there's something even more precious here, wouldn't you shout it out to the whole world?"

  This statement is a bit too serious, actually I only show my childish innocence in front of family members, maybe it's because I'm the youngest at home. However, I didn't get angry, knowing that my brother was doing it for my own good, so I asked anxiously:

  "Is there something even more precious inside? Where is it, let me guess."

  Her eyes rolled and said:

  "Brother said this only after walking to the edge of the pond, where there's nothing but water and stones, and fish. Yes, fish. The last time I saw these unknown fish, they gave me an extraordinary feeling."

  "Brother's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise: 'Not bad, it's indeed the fish, this kind of fish is called treasure fish, just by its name you can tell it's a treasure.'"

  "Let's scoop it up and have a barbecue, or steam it clean, or stir-fry it, it must be delicious."

  My little brother can't wait to taste the freshness.

  My brother glared at me fiercely and said with a tone of extreme disappointment:

  "Eat, eat, eat! How come I never realized my younger brother is a foodie? Eating can bring benefits, but draining the water to catch fish isn't right. This will invite heavenly punishment. Wouldn't it be better to leave some behind?"

  Big brother instructed:

  "This kind of fish can only form the effect of this pool water in its habitat, and after the adult fish dies naturally, it forms a colloid, which can quickly absorb energy, nourish the spirit and supplement qi when carried with you, what's not to love?"

  I was trained to be stunned, embarrassed and hummed in response. My brother saw it and felt a bit smug: How come I didn't realize my talent for education before? Coughed and said:

  "However, on the other hand, there are so many fish here that eating a few is not a problem and has little impact. However, ordinary cooking methods cannot be used; after eating it, one can clear their mind and brighten their eyes, greatly benefiting their spirit."

  While speaking, he licked his lips.

  Watching his brother's face change was like turning a page, the younger brother was stunned, and the older brother said to cover up the embarrassment:

  "Brother, I'm a foodie, but not those gluttons. If you want to eat fish meat, you still have to rely on me."

  He actually used all his threats, this ** brother, younger brother can only endure and let him play enough.

  As expected, brother spoke again, he said mysteriously: "However, what we're going to do next is not eating, but treasure hunting."

  Treasure hunt? A big question mark in his little brother's mind.
