"Alright, if you can do it, I'll agree," Zhang Ye said. "Remember, we're friends and I've even saved you before."

  Tao Ling'er said: "I want to go out of the mountain for a trip. I can't go, and I don't dare to go alone. Can Night Shixiong send me?"

  "Let's go." Zhang Ye didn't ask where they were going and just pulled her along by the hand.

  Tao Ling'er was flustered and hastily withdrew her hand.

  Zhang Ye didn't think much of it and took Xiaoniang up the mountain.

  "Night Master Brother, shouldn't we be going down?" Tao Ling'er asked somewhat nervously.

  Zhang Ye said, "In Piaoyun Valley I know a guy who can fly, flying faster than me. Why don't we ride the immortal crane?"

  "Immortal crane... alright." Tao Ling'er had a few parts of excitement.

  Piaoyun Valley is close to the top of Tai Xuan Peak, not far from Zhang Ye's fourth-grade spiritual field. This is exactly where the Tai Xuan Sect raises spiritual beasts, mainly with immortal cranes.

  Outer disciples are not allowed to come up. Moreover, inner disciples cannot summon the immortal crane at will. A grown-up immortal crane is a spiritual being, not only can it talk, but also very intelligent, with a status equal to that of an inner disciple.

  Many of the second-grade herbs grown in the fields are not used for alchemy, but are directly fed to the immortal cranes.

  Abao is not very old in the Xianhe sect and has an ordinary status. He had a chance encounter with Zhang Ye and received help from him, so they are quite close. Usually when Zhang Ye works in the medicine field on the mountain peak, Abao would often fly overhead and chat with him. However, Abao doesn't dare to come down because there is a rule in the sect that Xianhe cannot land in the medicine field, or else they will be killed. This is mainly because some Xianhe used to steal and eat the medicinal materials, causing huge losses.

  The outside of Piayun Valley is shrouded in mist, basically entering the clouds.

  "A Bao." Zhang Ye transmitted his voice.

  In a moment, a large immortal crane flapped its wings and flew in the air, circling: "Night Shixiong has come to see Abao, tell Abao stories."

  "Hurry, take us out of here." Zhang Ye said.

  "Master Ye has no right to command Ah Bao, and Ah Bao will be punished." She was a bit worried and didn't dare come down.

  "It won't be long, I'll soon be a true disciple, hurry down," Zhang Ye said.

  "Oh, Night Master Brother has become a true disciple, I'll have to tell more stories to Ah Bao." She finally came down.

  Zhang Ye sat in the front, tightly holding Abao's thick neck, Tao Ling'er sat behind and hugged Zhang Ye's waist, gently placing her head on Zhang Ye's shoulder.

  At first, Tao Ling'er was a bit worried, but seeing Zhang Ye and Xian He's conversation was so hilarious that she forgot to be nervous.

  Abao suddenly rose into the air and left Taixuan Peak.

  When asked where to go and what to do, Zhang Ye almost fell off the crane's back from anger. He was really fed up with this spirit, who said that she had left a medicinal chopper in her mountain hut.

  "Are you not going to take one?" Zhang Ye complained a bit.

  "I'm used to using that one, it was made by my mom. The only thing she left me is that medicine spade, and then she didn't care about me anymore." Tao Ling'er panicked a little behind her back.

  "Really? That's very important to you, let's go get it back."

  。。。

  Landed in a mountain valley not far from Tai Xuan Peak.

  The small hut looks like it hasn't been inhabited for a long time, with many spider webs and a little dust. Next to the hut is a small medicinal field that has also been abandoned.

  Zhang Ye felt curious and squatted down to take a look at the medicinal field, picking up the soil for inspection. Unexpectedly, this was a degenerated spiritual field.

  In general, the field is a first-class land, it can be seen that before being abandoned, this piece of land was second-class.

  "Ling, was it always just you who planted them before?" Zhang Ye asked curiously.

  "Yes, it was Ling'er who planted them herself. At first, the yield wasn't great, and after Ling'er planted them, they were sent to the market's medicine shops for sale. Later on, I don't know how, but the herbs gradually grew faster and better, and then disciples from the Tai Xuan Gate came to collect them." Tao Ling'er said.

  Hehe~

  Tao Ling'er didn't have any other abilities, but unexpectedly had a talent for planting, which was somewhat similar to her own. Zhang Ye's heart felt very happy.

  "Brother Shī, is there something strange about this field?" Táo Língér asked curiously.

  "No worries, you'll learn to plant. You're just like me. When we get back, I'll slowly pass on some of my planting experiences to you, and later you can grow good medicinal herbs too." Zhang Ye said.

  "Thank you, Night Master Brother. I like growing herbs and don't like fighting and killing. Mom wants to teach me but I'm not learning." Tao Ling'er said.

  "Didn't you say that after Mom gave you medicine, she disappeared?"

  "Uh..." Tao Ling'er scratched her head.

  Zhang Ye didn't think much of it and took over Ling'er's medicine shovel to take a look. There was nothing outstanding about it, just that the craftsmanship was a bit more exquisite.

  "Night Master, let's go back, Abao needs to go home for dinner," said Xianhe.

  Hearing about going home for dinner, Zhang Ye was stunned, and an indescribable feeling wandered in his heart again.

  After a long while, Zhang Ye said: "A Bao, send Ling Er back, I'll stay here alone for a bit."

  Watching Xianhe and Ling'er disappear into the clouds, Zhang Ye leaned against the small cottage, admiring the colorful sunset on the horizon.

  Message in a bottle?

  Zhang Ye lay there in a daze as familiar matters slowly flew over from afar.

  "It's definitely not looking for me, it's looking for Tao Ling'er." Zhang Ye muttered.

  Suddenly

  The drift bottle fell directly onto Zhang Ye's head. Zhang Ye had no choice but to catch it.

  "Hey, wrong!" Zhang Ye shouted into the mountains.

  No response.

  Helpless, Zhang Ye smashed the bottle and pulled out a piece of paper from inside.

  "Girl, you owe me 35,999 scenes of intoxication. By the green pines and clear streams of Dongshan, I'll brew a cup of wine with green plums to await your return. Swan Goose."

  Zhang Ye suddenly jumped up in anger: "You're the beauty, your whole family are beauties! I'm not a fool."

  After scolding, I thought about it and couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

  It's actually when I think about it, I suddenly see the lyrics and find some comfort in expressing myself. The intoxicating Three Thousand Six Hundred Scenes, Green Plum and Wine Await Noble People...

  Since there was nothing else to do, Zhang went east at night and searched for it. After finding the creek water, he followed it upstream.

  By the green pine, on a green stone, wearing a blue shirt and white clothes, with a square scarf around his head, the handsome Blue Shocking Swan sat quietly there.

  "You dare to come again, last time you cheated me out of 100 dan medicine." Zhang Ye walked over and sat down, saying so but not showing any anger.

  Lan Jinghong looked at him quietly for a moment and said, "Is it very important? I just happened to bring it with me, or should I return it to you?"

  "Never mind, what's given can't be taken back, and water that's been spilled can't be gathered again. I'm not a petty person, you keep it."

  Lan Jinghong nodded slightly, "Okay."

  "By the way, how did you end up here releasing a message in a bottle and find me again?" Zhang Ye asked.

  "Why?" Lan was stunned for a moment, "Because I wanted to see you."

  "That's enough friendship." Zhang Ye patted his shoulder heavily.

  Lan Jinghong furrowed his brow and turned his head to look at Zhang Ye's hand on his shoulder.
