Ugly Cultivation Notes

Hearing this, Xu Chunniang raised her head and looked at the black wood fruit on the top of the black wood.

The palm-sized fruit looks ordinary and nothing special.

But just such a small fruit is a treasure that the outside world is fighting over.

But in Taoyuan Village, the blackwood fruit hangs so generously on the branches like an ornament.

Are the villagers unaware of the preciousness of these fruits, or are they aware of it but not taking it seriously?

Xu Chunniang suddenly smiled and nodded to everyone.

"Okay, then I will pick a black tree fruit and take it away."

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and climbed up the tall blackwood tree.

The blackwood tree is very strong, and its trunk is so thick that even if dozens of people hold their hands together, they cannot hug it.

The tree has lush branches, various branches, and intertwined roots, just like a small world.

She lowered her head, and through the scattered branches and leaves, she could still see people under the tree giving her encouraging or worried looks.

"Come on and climb up, be careful not to fall."

"If you are afraid, don't look down."

Xu Chunniang nodded, her hands firmly clinging to the branches, and she climbed up steadily and powerfully.

After climbing like this for several hours, she finally reached the top of the black tree, within easy reach of the black tree fruit.

The closer she was to success, the more careful Xu Chunniang became. In this Taoyuan Village, she was no different from ordinary mortals. If she fell from such a high place, she would most likely be killed.

After resting for a while, she grabbed a slender branch and tied it firmly to her body. She grabbed the branch with one hand, leaned sideways, and used the other hand to reach the fruit on the branch.

As the curvature of her side became wider and wider, Xu Chunniang's hand was gradually able to reach the fruit.

She seized the opportunity, held the black wood fruit tightly in her hand, pulled it gently, and picked it off.

Coincidentally, the moment Xu Chunniang picked the blackberry fruit, another flower bud grew out of the branch.

Compared with other flower buds, this flower bud looks much smaller.

After receiving the blackberry fruit, Xu Chunniang put it into the cloth bag she had prepared and started to crawl back.

As the saying goes, it is easier to go up a mountain than it is to go down a mountain. This is because when people go up a mountain, they are often full of passion and expectations. Although every step of the climb is difficult, they are full of motivation because of the attraction of the goal.

When going down the mountain, although the journey seems easier, in fact due to the relaxed state of mind and physical fatigue, negligence and accidents are more likely to occur.

This is exactly the case for Xu Chunniang at this moment.

She held the precious black wood fruit tightly in her hand, and every step she took down was more cautious and attentive than when she came. Successfully harvesting the blackberry fruit is only the first step, and returning safely is the real test.

The wind is strong at high places, and the branches are swaying gently in the breeze. The choice of foothold for each step needs to be carefully considered to prevent missing or slipping.

Xu Chunniang's attention was highly concentrated. She recalled the stable branches and easy-to-reach tree joints that she passed when climbing the tree, and carefully returned along the original path.

This process was very exhausting. During the process, she stopped from time to time to adjust her breathing and regain her strength.

Finally, after careful movements again and again, Xu Chunniang's toes touched the solid ground. She stood up slowly and breathed a sigh of relief, ending the long climb.

By this time, the sun was already setting in the west.

Usually at this time, everyone who was enjoying tea and playing the piano under the tree had already gone home. Today, they did not leave, but stayed under the tree, waiting for Xu Chunniang's return.

Seeing her return safely, the people waiting under the tree finally smiled.

"Okay! Haha, it's good that I successfully collected the black wood fruit."

"You're exhausted, let's drink some water and eat something first."

Someone handed over the water and cakes that had been prepared.

Xu Chunniang took the water and pancake, her throat moved slightly, and she wanted to say thank you, but when she saw everyone's concerned eyes and sincere smiles, she couldn't say such polite words.

This is Taoyuan Village. The villagers in Taoyuan Village are so trendy and friendly.

What a wonderful place, but before she even started leaving, she felt a little reluctant to leave.

Xu Chunniang picked up the kettle, raised her head to drink, and then carefully finished the pancake in her hand under the concerned eyes of everyone.

By the time she finished eating and drinking, the sun had begun to set.

The setting sun is like the fine golden light of molten flowers, pouring randomly into the sky, dyeing half of the sky a gorgeous orange-red. The clouds are outlined with golden edges by the sunset, just like the brocade left by the Weaver Girl in the world.

The outline of the distant mountains becomes soft and deep under the reflection of the setting sun, as if it is the gentlest stroke between heaven and earth.

Xu Chunniang stood there, bathing in this peaceful and magnificent scenery, feeling an indescribable touch in her heart.

A strong reluctance arose in her heart.

In just a few dozen days, she had a close connection with this land, this village, and all the villagers, and together they formed part of this beautiful picture.

The breeze blew by, bringing with it the coolness of the coming night, and also stirred up the fine dust on the ground. At this moment, even time became much slower.

In the village, smoke rises from the cooking pots, intertwining with the clouds on the horizon, creating a warm and harmonious picture. The laughter of children echoed in the alleys, and the villagers carried farm tools on their way home. Everything seemed so natural and harmonious.

But she was leaving.

If given the chance, she hoped that she could one day come to Taoyuan Village again.

After feeling the world's resistance to her, Xu Chunniang knew that there was not much time left for her.

Soon, she will be pushed away from this place by this resistance.

Xu Chunniang took a deep breath, took one last look at Taoyuan Village with a smile, and allowed her body to be taken away from this world by this resistance.

She felt her eyes go dark, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already in the void.

Endless magic power, powerful soul power, a body that won't starve or freeze, and a tireless body... Everything familiar is back.

Not only that, after a trip to the Eternal Land and back, her eyes and ears seemed to be able to see further and more clearly.

In addition, her five senses are sharper than before.

As her strength became stronger, Xu Chunniang felt a sense of loss. She only lived in Taoyuan Village for a short period of eighty-one days, but these eighty-one days seemed as long as hundreds of thousands of years, leaving her helpless for a long time. Give up.

After standing still for a long time, Xu Chunniang regained her composure and took out the black wood fruit she brought from the Eternal Land.

After staring at the black wood fruit for a moment, she slowly held it tightly but did not take it. (End of chapter)
