Chapter 313: Reunion after a long separation (Part )
The leader was Long Qingtian. More than 97 years had passed, and he looked younger instead of older. Dragons have a long lifespan, and now he has the body of a holy dragon, so his lifespan is even longer. If World hadn't collapsed in advance, he would have no problem living for hundreds of thousands of years. When he is promoted to a divine dragon, his lifespan could even exceed a million years. If one day Long Qingtian can really reach the realm of the ancestral dragon, it is not impossible for him to enjoy eternal life!
"Grandpa Long!" Yun Bai rushed to the old man Long like a young swallow returning to the nest. Although her actual age was 55, she could still keep the innocence of a girl thanks to the hundreds of years of lifespan of the cultivators and the anti-aging pills that could retain youth. Of course, this was only the case in front of some of her closest relatives. At other times, she had already become a dignified and elegant high-level female cultivator, and young people would respectfully call her "senior" when they saw her.
"Hahaha, girl, you're finally back! You've let me, an old man, look after your house alone for so many years, do you know how hard it is for me! As punishment, you must brew endless spiritual fruit wine for me, and boy Hongshan, you have to make endless delicious food for me!" Old man Long was originally smiling, but he pretended to cry and complain to Yun Bai, looking like a real old naughty boy. However, before everyone could say anything, they felt the ground shaking. Was it an earthquake? Everyone immediately cast their eyes towards the "epicenter", and saw a tall figure running towards them at a high speed in the distance. There was only one person, but he gave people the momentum of a heavy train running wildly. Everyone had no doubt that this force was enough to knock an adult King Kong bear away in an instant! No need to guess, who else could it be if not Xiaohua!
"Grandpa! I miss you so much!" Xiaohua's voice whistled like a whistle, and the next second she jumped into the arms of Grandpa Hua Zhenbang, who had already done his horse stance, and was waiting for his precious granddaughter. There was a loud "bang", and Grandpa Hua felt as if he was hit by the full force of the Mangshan Bull, and his head was buzzing. However, as a grandfather, the old man's pride made him stabilize his body after retreating more than ten steps and caught Xiaohua steadily.
"Good girl, your current strength should have exceeded the strength of ten dragons, right?" The strength levels are divided from low to high into horse, ox, python, bear, dragon, and dragon. Because these six kinds of spiritual beasts are extremely powerful, the cultivators divide their own strength according to the strength of these six kinds of spiritual beasts. Grandpa Hua guessed his granddaughter's current physical strength from Xiaohua's "flying" just now. This level of strength indirectly shows that Xiaohua's cultivation has reached at least 8 stars and 9th level. When he thought of this, Grandpa Hua felt comforted. His granddaughter is so promising, and he can count on her in his later years! However, he still underestimated Xiaohua's strength——
"Hey, that's about right!" Xiaohua said casually, and then added: "I just broke through 9 stars a while ago."
"9 stars! My goodness, you are so young, but you have already broken through to 9 stars! The young are really formidable!" Mu Qianqiu was amazed. However, thinking that his grandson was already at the 9th level 5, he felt that it was natural for these young people to have such a level of cultivation at such a young age.
"Grandpa, grandma and dad are all okay?" Mu Yinghun also walked forward, greeted his grandfather, and then asked about his family. When he learned that everything was fine, he was naturally happy.
"Haha, not only have you guys completed the mission, but your strength has also improved by leaps and bounds. You are better than your teachers. It's really a cause for celebration! You've been away from home for so many years. Go back to see your family first, and then come back for a reunion!" Old Man Long said with a happy face. He has the highest seniority here, so it is natural that he is the most suitable person to speak. Everyone agreed. Yun Bai and the other five went into the compound first to rest for a while, and then Mu Yun, Xiao Hua, Zhao Hongshan and Mu Yinghun went back to their own homes to reunite with their families. Before leaving, they agreed to return to the Happy Compound in three days to have a good reunion, and then said goodbye.
Yun Bai sat with Old Man Long in the courtyard and chatted. Over the past thirty years, Tianlan has become stronger and stronger, surpassing the other three "four high" institutions and firmly sitting on the top spot. And the best developed one among them is Cangyu College. Today, Cangyu has the demeanor of a first-class institution, and its scale has expanded dozens of times compared to when Yun Bai left. There are branches of Cangyu all over the world. As a successful model of civilian schools, Cangyu's reputation is actually no less than Tianlan. Someone once privately advised Yuanye to leave Tianlan and work alone, but he was sternly rejected. On the one hand, Tianlan is the root of Cangyu, and he can't do something that forgets his roots; on the other hand, his grandfather is the principal of Tianlan, how can he, as a grandson, leave his grandfather and fly alone! A while ago, Yuanye just went to the impoverished area of the western barren mountains to open the 112th branch of Cangyu. Because of the long journey, he didn't come back to see Yun Bai for the first time. But he is on the way and will be home at noon tomorrow at the latest.
Originally, Yuanye didn't need to go so far to build a new campus in person, but because that was the farthest place under Tianlan's jurisdiction, and more importantly, once the school was built, it would be the first school there, and it would be a composite school that accepted both humans and spiritual practitioners! It would be of great significance to build a bridge between humans and the world of spiritual plants and beasts, so Yuanye had to go there in person to show his face and express Tianlan's attitude.
As soon as they entered the compound, Old Man Long took Yun Bai and looked her over from head to toe several times. He was relieved after he confirmed that she was in good condition. Then he took her to sit in the compound to chat. For so many years, except for the occasional conversations with Mu Qianqiu, Yuan Ye and other old men, Old Man Long practiced alone in the compound, which almost suffocated him. Now that Yun Bai is finally back, he wants to chat with her to his heart's content!
Yun Bai naturally understood what Old Man Long was thinking. She took out a bunch of things from her storage bracelet with a smile on her face. These things were all small gadgets she had encountered while traveling around the world for more than 30 years. There were fun little boxes with mechanisms and treasure boxes, robes and pajamas made of velvet from thousand-year-old snow silkworms, dragon fruits that tasted sweet and sour but would spit fire if eaten too much, and ice wine made from local frost berries, etc. There were hundreds of them, piled up into a small mountain. These were all collected by Yun Bai specifically for Old Man Long as gifts for him.
"Hahaha, so many good things! I really love you!" Old Man Long couldn't close his mouth with laughter. He has all the resources in the world, what treasures have he not seen? However, for him, no treasure is as precious as Yun Bai's gift, because it is Yun Bai's heart. Yun Bai is a thoughtful girl. No matter where she goes, she always thinks of Old Man Long in her heart. Every time she goes back, she will bring all kinds of good things to make him happy. She treats Old Man Long as her own grandfather and is filial to him. This is what Long Qingtian cherishes the most.
After happily showing the gift to Old Man Long, Yun Bai took out the big bucket of ice wine, poured a glass for Old Man Long and himself, and then told him about the experience of Longshan's inheritance and Longshan's idea of curing the origin of the pathological world.
"World Tree!" When Old Man Long heard Yun Bai say that the key to curing the disease was the seeds of the World Tree, he was immediately shocked. This kind of sacred tree only appeared in ancient legends. Could it really exist?
