BXBX NOVEL Chapter 109 - 109. How Old Are You?
After walking for about three minutes, the light stopped on a shelf only the size of her height, penetrated the glass case, and disappeared right into the herbs there.
Huang Bao took out some mana stones and put them in a small wooden box with gold carvings on each side attached to the side of the shelf. Each shelf has a box with such a shape.
The number of mana stones that the old man put in was the same as the number indicated on the glass plant case on the shelf, precisely on the plant where the little light disappeared.
Finished doing that, one of the glass boxes that the light was aiming for immediately opened slowly. Immediately a fragrant smell wafted into Fu Xie Lan's sense of smell. The scent came from that plant, Fu Xie Lan didn't know what kind of plant it was because it was the first time she saw it and made her a little curious.
"Is this the plant Teacher wanted?" asked Fu Xie Lan in a slightly small tone of voice.
"Right," Huang Bao replied as he took out a medicinal plant that looked like an orchid. It's just that the color of the stalk is slightly different from what she is used to seeing.
Seeing everything from the start when she entered Micopia, Fu Xie Lan quickly digested and understood everything. The silver jug that she saw earlier, if she is not mistaken, could give a clue where the type of herbal plant she wanted. To be honest, She girl was a bit confused before, seeing the many types of plants that filled the room, she previously wondered how people would know or find the plants they wanted among the hundreds of plants here?
And the little box right next to it at this time, she guessed that it was a transaction tool here. The glass box that encloses the herbs will only open if you insert the same number of mana stones as listed on the glass case on the shelf.
Everything was very new to Fu Xie Lan. The world that was so very different from her previous life, made her continue to feel amazed, which she thought was very interesting. But behind it, she also knows very well that this world that is so interesting and amazing will be worth the danger and all the threats. From here, at this very moment, Fu Xie Lan became very curious about what other amazing things she would encounter in the future? She became very impatient.
"How about you? Have you found what herbal plant you want?" said Huang Bao immediately put the plant he took into a wooden box that had been in the hands of the old man since earlier?
"No, not yet Teacher. I don't know if the plant is here or not," Fu Xie Lan replied slowly.
"Alright, you can take a walk and have a look first, I also still need a lot more herbs," said Huang Bao in a very soft tone of voice.
"Use this when you've found what you want, we'll meet again near the silver jug later," added Huang Bao again taking out a small shell from his shirt pocket. After thrusting the object he then immediately left from there, leaving Fu Xie Lan with Gu Yi which made the girl frown again in confusion.
Even the old man didn't wait for her to ask anything and he had already walked away. It was not without reason that the old man was acting like that because earlier he received a code from Gu Yi which ordered him to immediately leave from the two of them."
Looking at the object in her hand, Fu Xie Lan's brows furrowed. If she remembers correctly, she had seen the same thing in her room when she was still in Elder Chen's residence.
Fu Xie Lan then turned to Gu Yi with a questioning look.
"It can help you communicate with Huang Bao," Gu Yi explained, understanding the girl's confusion.
Fu Xie Lan tilted her head as if she still didn't understand making the man smile gently.
"It comes from the mermaid race, with the help of magic, then one can send voice messages to other people within a certain distance through this object," he explained.
"Does everyone have this thing?" Fu Xie Lan asked a little interested. Wasn't the thing in her hand the same as the cell phone in her previous life?
"No, it's very rare. Only certain people have although retaining magic energy in an inanimate object is easier, but the mana required to keep it functioning is not small, If I may say, only the wizard race uses such an object, but not all of them. Not to mention that shells can be used, not random shells. Only 1000-year-old shells can be used," Gu Yi explained at length. This is the longest sentence he has spoken for the last 700 years. Even so, he felt satisfied being able to communicate with Fu Xie Lan.
"1000 years?" Fu Xie Lan was shocked.
"That's right, Dear," replied the man chuckling at Fu Xie Lan's response.
Fu Xie Lan stared intently at the shell, she didn't expect that the age of the shell in her hand was many times her own.
"How old are you?" asked Fu Xie Lan suddenly, for some reason it crossed her mind.
Hearing this, Gu Yi chuckled.
"I'm afraid you'd be surprised to find out."
"Just tell me, how much? Is it the same with this shell?" asked Fu Xie Lan lifting the shell in her hand.
"Maybe many times over?" said the man feeling a little proud.
"Huh, you're old. I didn't expect you to live with your perverted nature for thousands of years. I should just call you a perverted grandfather," said Fu Xie Lan deliberately mocking that man. Previously she did know that some people could live forever in this world. She is saying such a thing was not out of curiosity but a feeling of teasing the man suddenly welled up in her.
The corner of Gu Yi's lips twitched at the girl's words. The pride Gu Yi felt when he said that he had lived that long-vanished in an instant. Grandfather? Hey, don't joke. He suddenly regretted answering Fu Xie Lan's question.
"How do I use it?" said Fu Xie Lan then, in her heart she was already laughing out loud at the man's expression.
"Don't wait for us, and go straight back to the inn," Gu Yi said, directing his voice at the shell that he suddenly snatched from Fu Xie Lan's hand.
"Maybe like that?" He said then returned the shell to Fu Xie Lan's hand.
"What are you doing?" Fu Xie Lan protested.
"I'm just giving you an example, Dear. And Huang Bao must have heard my voice earlier," Gu Yi chuckled.
With an annoyed expression, Fu Xie Lan looked frustratedly at the man.
how could that man talk to her Teacher like that?
