Chapter 207 Gift Storage Ring
Chapter 207 Gift Storage Ring
The old man spoke intermittently. He was the Zhou family's housekeeper, and the one who had taken care of Xiaoze since childhood. Xiaoze's father, upon learning of this, felt immensely remorseful. The old couple devised a plan to send the old housekeeper to the human world, asking him to find Xiaoze, take good care of him, and raise him, before returning to the immortal realm in the future.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze fell into deep thought after hearing this. They were both from the immortal world in their previous lives, having known each other since childhood and falling in love as they grew up. Qiqi and Zhou Jingze simultaneously recalled some images that appeared in their minds, which were all experiences from their previous lives.
The two of them held hands together, this was fate. Qiqi thought that she had traveled through time from the modern era, and her modern soul was also Jiang Ziying's, so she traveled here to renew her past relationship with Zhou Jingze.
Zhou Jingze also thought of the man in white in the main hall. He must be his past life, so he taught him swordsmanship. His rapid learning speed was probably related to being his reincarnation.
The two of them still didn't know what to say. Xiao Rui also wondered why there were so many coincidences. They had encountered everything.
Seeing that the few people were silent, the old housekeeper went to the kitchen and fried some vegetables for them, cooked some rabbit meat, and left a few pancakes. They were quickly brought out.
Xiao Rui was eating fruit under a tree. Qiqi and Zhou Jingze were sitting in the room, both silent.
The butler brought the food to the table and invited Xiaoze, Qiqi and Xiaorui to come and taste the food he cooked.
The old housekeeper knew the two children wouldn't be able to accept this immediately, so he didn't bring up the subject again. He let them try his cooking. Qiqi and Zhou Jingze found the food bland. Xiao Rui, however, liked the housekeeper's rabbit meat. It had a slightly earthy smell, but it was delicious. It was Xiao Rui's first time eating rabbit meat.
The old man rarely left the Misty Forest. He raised a few chickens and ducks. He didn't raise any pigs, but he often went hunting in the Misty Forest, often catching rabbits.
He pickled the rabbit meat and cut off a piece whenever he wanted to eat it. The chickens laid eggs, and he killed a few ducks to eat, too. He also ate the meat of the ferruginous beast.
The old butler suddenly remembered a cave a few kilometers away with rust inside. He took a closer look and realized it was iron ore. Because the iron-eating beast often visited the cave, one day he saw rust on the beast's mouth. He asked the beast, and it led the butler to the cave, where he discovered iron ore. Where there's iron, there's rust. He knew iron ore was valuable, but he couldn't mine it without tools, and even if he did, it would be of no use to him. The butler rewarded the beast with some food.
He told Qiqi and Zhou Jingze the news. "With iron ore, wouldn't Father's army have iron to make spears and swords?" This was truly great news.
The three of them followed the housekeeper into the cave and were thrilled to see the rusty iron ore. "Once the iron ore is mined, the country will be even stronger." Qiqi used her spiritual sense to survey the entire mine. The iron ore was vast and deep. She couldn't move it with her mind, so she had to let the country mine it.
Qiqi discussed it with Zhou Jingze and then sent a message to her father and Liu Junyang. This was Yongning Kingdom territory. They could only be notified. The old housekeeper didn't object. As long as Xiaoze was found, he wouldn't object to anyone wanting the iron ore. Besides, he was Qiqi's father.
Xiao Rui didn't participate in these things, he just listened to what Qiqi said. In the future, when they go to the fairyland, they will use very little of these, unless someone knows how to refine weapons, then they will use iron.
Qiqi rewarded the Iron-eating Beast with a few pills. The old housekeeper saw the pills Qiqi gave to the Iron-eating Beast.
"Qiqi, you can also refine pills. When I was bored in the mountains, I wandered around and saw a lot of Chinese medicinal herbs in the mountains, so I collected them. Now I have saved a lot of herbs. Do you think you can use them? Let's go back and I'll show them to you." said the old housekeeper.
"Okay, Uncle Butler. Thank you first." Qiqi knew that the butler was from the fairyland and ordinary medicinal herbs were not even in his eyes. Since he said he had some medicinal herbs, they must be very precious.
They soon returned to the thatched cottage. The old housekeeper led them to the kitchen. Inside, there were several wooden shelves with a large number of medicinal herbs drying on them.
Qiqi and the others were stunned by what they saw. The ginseng was enormous, with dozens of them a hundred years old or even several hundred years old. There were also many more Ganoderma lucidum than they had gathered. There were also several Polygonum multiflorum as big as a human head. There were also some wild Salvia miltiorrhiza, wild Astragalus, and so on.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze didn't know what to say.
"Uncle Butler, these are too valuable. I can't accept them." Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, you can make pills. I can't just eat these herbs, right? Wouldn't that be a waste? Just give a few pills to your uncle when you've made the pills." The housekeeper said sincerely.
Qiqi looked at Zhou Jingze. "The housekeeper gave it to you, so just accept it. Just give him more of the pills you make in the future," Zhou Jingze said.
"Uncle housekeeper, thank you. I'll accept it." Qiqi put the herbs into the space in an instant.
"Qiqi. It's great that you have storage things. I'll give each of you a storage ring. It's several square meters in size. You can store more things." After the old butler said this, he took out three rings from his body and handed them to them.
Xiao Rui took it excitedly. "Thank you, uncle, I just want to have a storage ring. There is no place to buy it in the world."
Qiqi was also very touched. The old housekeeper gave her medicinal herbs and a storage ring. This really showed his love for Zhou Jingze. This was also a case of loving the house and loving the whole family.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze happily took it. Qiqi also took out a few large peaches and handed them to the old housekeeper.
"Uncle housekeeper, this is a gift from an old man. Please try it."
The housekeeper smelled the fragrance emanating from the peaches and knew they were extraordinary. It was truly wonderful that these two children had such a good opportunity in the human world. Judging by their high cultivation, they must have found a good master.
The old housekeeper took it and started eating. It was sweet and delicious. Hmm, why does this peach feel so familiar? I seem to have eaten it somewhere before, but I can't remember where. I don't think about it anymore. I must have picked it and eaten it casually when I was looking for Xiaoze.
Qiqi and the other two finished eating the peaches in their hands. The iron-eating beast smelled the fragrance of the peaches and came to Qiqi's legs and rubbed against her.
They all laughed. "Little Bear, do you want to eat peaches too? Aren't you stupid at all? You know they are delicious. You have also learned to please others." The old housekeeper smiled and scolded Little Bear.
Qiqi took out two more peaches and placed them in front of the iron-eating beast. He ate one in one gulp, chewing it with a crunching sound and shaking his head in delight. Soon he had both of them in his stomach. The iron-eating beast happily bowed to Qiqi.
