I Have Medicine

Chapter 608 - (Little Changsheng) Attend Lei Pengfei’s banquet

Gu Zuo’s movements were very fast. The difficulty of the agar-gel combination was only that of a Profound-Level Medicine, so after about fifteen minutes, he successfully created a batch’s worth from one furnace. If converted for Little Changsheng’s consumption, it could last him about five days.

‘Speaking of which, Little Changsheng’s appetite isn’t small.’

Thinking this, Gu Zuo took out a feeding bottle.

That’s right, a feeding bottle refined using the method for refining spiritual weapons—it had almost no spiritual energy, but its capacity was enormous, enough to fit the entire furnace of agar-gel inside.

This time was no exception. Gu Zuo quickly poured the agar-gel into the feeding bottle, then picked it up and walked towards the stone couch.

At this moment, Gongyi Tianheng was sitting at the head of the bed, meeting Little Changsheng’s large, dark, glistening eyes.

Little Changsheng: “Ah ah!”

Gongyi Tianheng couldn’t help but smile and reached out to embrace him: “Are you awake?”

Little Changsheng smiled, showing his two dimples: “Ah!”

Having been nurtured by a stone egg and formed by the fusion of the two energies of Yin and Yang, he inherited Gongyi Tianheng’s intelligence and Gu Zuo’s perceptiveness, leading to very early intellectual development.

Although he hadn’t been born long, he could already understand most of what others said. Therefore, Gongyi Tianheng always spoke to him normally, and Little Changsheng’s responses were always extremely cute and lively.

When Gu Zuo walked over, he happened to see Gongyi Tianheng gently supporting Little Changsheng under his armpits with both hands. Little Changsheng was standing entirely on Gongyi Tianheng’s lap, his little legs kicking happily.

… From this, one could see he was truly full of vitality and had strong bones and muscles.

Seeing this scene, Gu Zuo smiled.

Over there, Little Changsheng sensed the familiar presence of the other person and immediately turned his little head. When those dark eyes caught sight of Gu Zuo, the dimples at the corners of his lips deepened even further: “Ah ah ah ah ah!”

Gongyi Tianheng couldn’t help but chuckle: “It seems Little Changsheng truly dotes on Ah Zuo.”

Gu Zuo muttered quietly: “No, I think he’s probably hungry…”

With that, he handed over the feeding bottle.

Little Changsheng decisively twisted his waist, broke free of Gongyi Tianheng’s hands, and lunged toward… the feeding bottle, catching it perfectly. But he forgot that he was suspended mid-air because he reached out for it, and in a moment of carelessness, his entire little body fell from Gongyi Tianheng’s lap.

Gu Zuo habitually caught him instantly. Little Changsheng landed smoothly in his arms, resting against his arm, cheeks bulging, sucking the nipple, and eating heartily.

Gongyi Tianheng stifled a laugh, then slightly shook his head: “If he is still this spoiled when he’s older, Ah Zuo, you should step away and let him land on the ground by himself.”

Gu Zuo: “…”

‘Is he suggesting letting Little Changsheng hurt himself a little so he would learn his lesson?’

‘Big Brother is indeed a strict father.’

Though thinking this, Gu Zuo still obediently nodded: “We need to wait until he’s a little older.”

However, he felt that once Little Changsheng was a little older, he wouldn’t be drinking “milk” anymore, would he? He would also be able to walk around and wouldn’t need to be carried…

In fact, Little Changsheng quickly demonstrated what “he can move now” meant.

Although he hadn’t been born long, because of his strong body, he was already like a one-year-old infant, able to run all over the place. After quickly finishing about half a bottle of the agar-gel, he happily let out a fragrant, satisfied burp and began to struggle in Gu Zuo’s embrace.

Gu Zuo loosened his arms.

Little Changsheng quickly jumped down and started walking around the Medicinal Celestial Grand Hall with his short little legs.

He was running back and forth, getting exercise.

Gongyi Tianheng’s figure swayed slightly, and he stood side-by-side with Gu Zuo.

The two watched with smiles as Little Changsheng scurried about, strengthening his legs.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Embryo was truly extraordinary. After a period of time, they could probably start teaching Little Changsheng and use martial skills to properly burn off some of his energy.

Gu Zuo sighed: “Little Changsheng is a bit mischievous, but compared to other children, he is much more well-behaved.”

Gongyi Tianheng also smiled: “Ah Zuo speaks the truth.”

In their eyes, there truly was no better or more lovable child than Little Changsheng.

Next, Gongyi Tianheng continued to cultivate the spiritual weapons in the great hall, while Gu Zuo took out his pill furnace to continue trying to refine Earth-Level pills and consolidate his knowledge of other pill grades.

The two quickly entered a state of self-forgetfulness, each becoming busy with their own tasks, and thus they stopped paying attention to Little Changsheng’s playing.

After running around several times, Little Changsheng secretly glanced back at his two fathers, then cocked his head and pattered off toward the back of the palace.

In a certain hall at the back, the woman in plain clothes who had been guarding a corpse suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise appearing on her face: “A Heaven and Earth Spiritual Embryo… this current master’s luck is indeed excellent.”

After muttering this to herself, she closed her eyes again.

Whether it was the Tiandu Body with its shocking destiny, the master’s own great fortune, or the spiritual embryo being beloved by heaven and earth, none of it had anything to do with her.

However, people with good luck always found it much easier to locate heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

The woman in plain clothes didn’t notice that while she opened and closed her eyes, Little Changsheng, who was outside splashing water in front of the lotus pond, also looked back. A faint silver light shimmered in his eyes. He then seemed to have seen something, and an expression of surprise appeared on his face. After that, he quickly turned around and pattered back.

“Ah ah! Ah ah ah ah!” Little Changsheng’s pace was very fast. He quickly returned to the front hall, his calls having a distinct rhythm.

Both Gongyi Tianheng, who was polishing his innate spiritual weapon, and Gu Zuo, who was refining medicine, raised their heads to look at the cheerful little chubby boy rushing toward them.

Little Changsheng darted over extremely fast, his direction clear and swift. He exerted his fastest speed, like a streak of lightning, and accurately slammed into Gu Zuo, who had just finished refining a batch of pills and stood up. He immediately hugged Gu Zuo’s leg: “Ah ah!” He pointed toward the back of the hall with his finger, “Ah ah ah!”

Gu Zuo was embarrassed.

He cherished his son dearly, but he couldn’t distinguish his son’s “baby talk”!

All the “Ah ah!”s and “Ah ah ah ah!”s—what did they mean…?

It was Gongyi Tianheng who quickly walked over, picked up Little Changsheng, and placed him on his arm: “Did you meet a corpse in the back hall that looks like your Father Ah Zuo?”

Little Changsheng nodded repeatedly: “Ah!”

Gu Zuo was enlightened.

So he had seen Tianyou, who hadn’t been revived yet… Reviving Tianyou wasn’t easy. He was still short a few supplementary ingredients for even the Jiu Zhuan Hui Shen Pill, let alone the rare medicinal materials that needed to be used with it. He had only found three or four supplementary ingredients in total. The Three-Light Spiritual Springs, Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Soil, and the rare Kong Ming Dew, among others, were nowhere to be found.

According to his plan, he intended to try his luck with these items on the battlefield of a different realm, but reaching that otherworldly battlefield couldn’t be achieved so quickly.

Little Changsheng saw Tianyou’s corpse, and Tianyou looked exactly like him, so it was only natural for Little Changsheng to be startled.

But Little Changsheng was smart enough. Despite his very young age, he didn’t mistake Tianyou for his own father and rush in heedlessly. Instead, he ran back.

Gu Zuo stroked his head: “That is your little uncle.”

A father’s younger brother is indeed an uncle.

Little Changsheng’s eyes lit up: “Ah!”

Now he understood.

Next, Little Changsheng simply sat on Gongyi Tianheng, playing with his hair. He waited while Gu Zuo refined medicine again, and Gongyi Tianheng held him while polishing his innate spiritual weapon for a period. Soon after, his little head began to nod, indicating he was getting sleepy again… Just before he fell asleep, Gu Zuo fed him agar-gel one more time. Once Little Changsheng was full, his eyes couldn’t stay open. He was snoring softly and fell soundly asleep.

Gongyi Tianheng and Gu Zuo exchanged a smile. After placing Little Changsheng on the stone couch, they left the Medicinal Celestial Grand Hall.

Afterward, the night was filled with intimacy, and their affection for each other was so strong that every breath seemed to flow with sweet nectar, intoxicating and delightful…

The next day, after quickly meeting with Little Changsheng once more, the two prepared to go to the second banquet.

This time, the banquet was hosted by Lei Pengfei, and the location was also at his residence.

Gu Zuo still brought the Five Elements Pills, preparing to establish a bit of “friendship” with Lei Pengfei as well, hoping to build as strong a network of contacts as possible within the Longque Academy.

Gongyi Tianheng accompanied him with a smile, prepared as usual to be a silent backdrop.

Before long, the two arrived at Lei Pengfei’s territory.

Gu Zuo had met this Lei Pengfei before. Although he hadn’t paid much attention to these people at the time, Lei Pengfei, as one of the first to invite him and someone who had supported him from the start, still left some impression on Gu Zuo… In his memory, this fellow was a man with a domineering but not arrogant demeanor, and his conduct was very measured. In fact, some of his fundamental qualities bore a subtle resemblance to his Big Brother—of course, this wasn’t a similarity in personality, but rather that sense of freedom and magnanimity that comes from being from an aristocratic family, being extremely confident in oneself, valuing one’s family, yet not being bound by it…

After recalling this, Gu Zuo described it to his Big Brother.

Gongyi Tianheng raised an eyebrow: “If that is the case, perhaps we can make a friend.”

Gu Zuo thought for a moment and nodded.

Both knew that making friends was possible, but how far that “friendship” could progress would entirely depend on their future interactions.

However, there was no doubt that this Lei Pengfei should be willing to be friends with them.

Gu Zuo looked up and saw a cluster of mountain peaks ahead.

There were about five peaks, arranged like a hand. The highest one pierced the clouds, yet it didn’t resemble a sword light, but rather a bolt of lightning.

This shape was truly extraordinary.

But Gu Zuo felt that the thing looked more like… a massive lightning rod.

Gongyi Tianheng also glanced at it and said: “The summit of that mountain should be where Senior Brother Lei isolates himself for cultivation. If he sits at the highest point of such a peak, he can draw down lightning to temper himself without causing too much self-harm.”

Gu Zuo nodded again: “Senior Brother Lei sure knows how to have fun.”
