Mrs. Zhuge excitedly spread out the four boxes on the table one by one and opened a box at random.

"Huh? Is this flame-like thing... a spiritual fruit? Why haven't I seen this fruit before?"

There was a nine-square grid pattern inside, with nine neatly arranged dragon fruits, looking bright red and pleasing to the eye.

Madam Zhuge picked one up and put it close to her nose and sniffed it. The familiar spiritual energy immediately penetrated into her nasal cavity.

"Wow! Such a rich spiritual energy. What kind of spiritual fruit is this? I feel that the divine power contained in it is comparable to that of a low-grade divine stone."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Zhuge Honglie was skeptical. He had also eaten many spiritual fruits. Those spiritual fruits that contained rich spiritual power were generally very rare and very hard to find.

What kind of fruit is this flame-like fruit?

"Let me see," Zhuge Changji also came closer to take a look. He also picked one up and looked at it from left to right, but couldn't recognize it.

“Second elder, look at what kind of fruit this is. It has a very strong magical power.” Zhuge Changji handed the dragon fruit in his hand to the second elder.

Zhuge Changye took the fruit, but couldn't figure out what it was.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this Miss Ling is indeed a master-level alchemist. Even the spiritual fruits she gave are extraordinary. Let's take a look at what's in the other three boxes?"

"Oh, yes, yes, open it and take a look."

These four people who had seen a lot of things were extremely excited about the gift, like children opening Santa Claus's socks.

The three boxes were opened one by one. They had seen and eaten the Red Spirit Fruit before, so they recognized it at a glance. However, the other two were...

"Oh my, is this the legendary golden fruit?"

"It seems so. It's exactly the same as the picture in the book. Oh, this is incredible. These are nine golden fruits. Who is Miss Ling? You know, if these nine golden fruits are distributed, the overall strength of my Zhuge family will be more than a level higher. Oh my God! I can't even imagine how generous this is."

"This... does this Miss Ling have any request? I always feel that by sending so many rare treasures, the other party must be asking for too much," Zhuge Changye saw the nine golden fruits and suddenly felt that this gift was a bit hot.

"Look, what kind of fruit is this? It's green and looks beautiful. Is it edible? Why do I feel like it doesn't look like one?" Mrs. Zhuge shifted her attention to the Biluo Fruit. She had never seen such a beautiful and mysterious fruit before.

Forgive her ignorance, she couldn't even recognize it, let alone eat it.

"Huh? Why does it smell like medicine? Could this green fruit be the magical medicine fruit? Otherwise, why don't we go ask Master Kaiyuan?"

"Go ask him? Will he keep the fruit? I don't feel comfortable showing it to him," Mrs. Zhuge was furious when she thought of her respected teacher. She was very upset when she thought of how he had wasted so many precious medicinal materials of the Zhuge family and how he was arrogant to her employer.

The most frustrating thing is that they cannot complain. If they take the spiritual fruit to ask him, who knows if he will hide it from them, fool them and keep it for himself?

"Who said to show him the fruit? I plan to draw the fruit and then take it to him to identify it." Zhuge Honglie glanced at his wife. Is he that stupid?

"Okay, Honglie, let's do as you say. Let's store these treasures in the warehouse first. Second brother, find a fine white jade box to pack them, and then we can discuss how to distribute them later." The great elder Zhuge Changji ordered.

"Okay, big brother, since you're worried, I will definitely keep it." Zhuge Changye made a gesture to put away the things on the table.

"Hey, that beauty pill must be for me, just give it to me first," Mrs. Zhuge quickly held the porcelain bottle and refused to let go.

"Madam, you are naturally beautiful and look like a little girl. I don't think you need it at all..." Zhuge Honglie wanted to say that it was just a top-grade beauty pill. Even if it was for women, there were several older ladies in the family, right?

"Stop it, don't keep talking nonsense, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen," Mrs. Zhuge knew what Zhuge Honglie meant, but when it comes to beauty, men should just get out of the way, their words are annoying.

After Mrs. Zhuge finished speaking, she took the porcelain bottle and left first.

"Oh, this woman is so ignorant, how could she..." Zhuge Honglie looked at the two elders and cursed in pretended anger.

"Alright, alright, take it if you want. Every woman loves beauty. I'll put these in the warehouse first. Honglie, when Fengyun comes over, we'll discuss the quota for entering the secret realm this time."

"Okay, Uncle Changye, you go first. Uncle Changji, let's go to the study room to have a cup of tea and wait for Fengyun. That kid will be here soon."

"Well, okay, let's go."

Here, Fu Ling'er and the other two, led by the Zhuge brothers and sisters, reached the top of Powang Mountain.

On the top of the mountain, the terrain is high in the east and low in the west, surrounded by tall trees and rocks. There are also low rockery and bamboo forests scattered in between, complementing the tall trees. Among the rocks and trees, there are eight or nine courtyards scattered in an orderly manner.

The highest courtyard on the east side is Zhuge Qiao’s Yanzhi Tower, and the courtyard below the Yanzhi Tower is Zhuge Fengyun’s Fengyun Tower.

Zhuge Qiao walked in front, pointing around and explaining to Fu Ling'er and the other two, chattering non-stop.

"Sister Ling, the scenery on the top of the mountain is pretty good, right? There is a garden at the end of the path behind, and behind the garden is a small pond. There is a spring under the pond, and water is bubbling out all year round. I like to look at lotus flowers, so the pond is full of lotus flowers. Also, that pond is the source of the waterfall. I will take you to see it tomorrow. It is the time when the lotus flowers are blooming."

"Okay, that sounds pretty good. The top of this mountain has beautiful scenery and is a good place to practice." Fu Ling'er couldn't help but sigh at the Zhuge family's good choice of location. This Powang Mountain is indeed a good place to live in seclusion.

The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is extremely hidden. If it is not revealed actively, no one will think that there is such a good place among these mountains.

"Sister Qiao, are no one living in those courtyards? Why is there no one there?" Xiao Zi looked around. It seemed that such a beautiful and scenic place was deserted.

"Oh, those courtyards you are talking about were originally where my five sisters lived, one biological sister and four cousins. I am the youngest in the family.

Originally there weren't so many courtyards here. My sisters used to live halfway up the mountain. They saw that I was determined to live here and wanted to keep me company, so they asked to move up here too. But they all got married after living here for a few years. I don't like being disturbed, so the servants would come up to clean up every once in a while."

"Oh, so that's the case. Then Sister Qiao doesn't have any cousins? Don't they live here?" Xiao Zi asked curiously, as if she had never heard Sister Qiao say that she had other brothers.
