Chapter 346: Life-saving Magic Stone
Yang Xiaoyun was a little surprised when he saw Bai Hao being so serious, but he continued, "I heard that the name of the magic stone seems to be Jie Ming, and Qingyun Jushi happens to have one in his hand. It contains some intermediate magic for strengthening the body..."
Bai Hao suddenly realized what was going on and said, "No wonder he was so energetic at the poetry meeting even though he is 154 years old and an ordinary person with no magical talent at all!"
"Haha, yes, the old man usually has to breathe heavily after saying a few words. If it weren't for that little girl Yang Yu who brought a life-saving magic stone from Qiankun Peak, how could he be so energetic today?"
"Yang Yu?"
Hearing Bai Hao's puzzled voice, Yang Xiaoyun casually said, "She is the great-great-granddaughter of Qingyun Jushi. Yang Yu's father, Jushi's great-great-grandson, is a researcher at Qiankun Peak. The development of Jie Ming Magic Stone seems to be the first contribution of that kid!"
Afterwards, Yang Xiaoyun told Bai Hao a lot of details about the Jie Ming Magic Stone, but because Yang Xiaoyun himself was not very interested in magic research, many things were not explained clearly, which made Bai Hao feel itchy.
As soon as the banquet was over, Bai Hao couldn't wait to leave the Zenith Dome Peak. He didn't even ride the floating rock with the others. Instead, he went to the edge of the cliff, jumped, and flew down directly using the flying technique.
On the stone steps at the entrance of Qingyun Academy, Yang Yu propped up her little face and stared blankly at the words carved on the stone wall by Qingyun hermit with a chisel. On the words was the short poem that Bai Hao had written at the poetry meeting today.
While Mr. Qingyun was carving diligently, he was also praising excitedly. The more he analyzed, the more he appreciated Bai Hao's poetic talent. At the same time, he felt even more sorry for Bai Hao's impending departure from the East.
Yang Yu looked at the poem written by Bai Hao on the stone wall and felt subconsciously a little dazed. The romance revealed in the poem and the talent permeating between the lines made Yang Yu obsessed.
Bai Hao's face suddenly appeared in Yang Yu's mind. He thought about how he had once held Bai Hao's hand at the door. Although it was a casual act done in a hurry, it was still a bit rude.
Eastern women have always been conservative in their thinking. Unmarried girls are not allowed to let men other than family members touch their bodies. Although Yang Yu has a rather unconventional personality, she still abides by etiquette.
Yang Yu subconsciously looked at her right hand, recalling the feeling of holding hands with Bai Hao. Her pretty face immediately turned red, and the late autumn weather, which should have been cool, became hot.
"Well, I was too reckless today!" Yang Yu couldn't help but complain to herself, "What if Viscount Campbell thinks I'm a frivolous woman..."
"I ask others to observe the etiquette of a gentleman while I myself do not observe the etiquette of a woman. I am such a...ahhhhh!" The more Yang Yu thought about it, the more she felt that her behavior at the gate of the academy today was too vulgar. She took advantage of the fact that there were no strangers around and shouted as if to vent her anger.
Hearing his great-granddaughter yelling in the porch, Mr. Qingyun shook his head helplessly, and then continued to focus on the things in his hands.
"Sister Xiaoyu, what do you mean? Why is someone roaring like a beast here?" Bai Hao suddenly appeared beside Yang Yu. Seeing Yang Yu roaring randomly and somewhat confused, he asked with some concern.
"Wow... Lord Campbell, why are you here?!" Yang Yu was startled when he saw Bai Hao suddenly appear beside him. Then his head was buzzing and he didn't know what to say.
Just as Bai Hao was about to explain, Qingyun Lay Buddhist, who was still carving words in the inner courtyard, quickly walked out and bowed to Bai Hao, saying, "I wonder why Viscount Campbell is visiting the academy tonight?"
Bai Hao noticed that what Qingyun Layman was doing at this moment was a greeting between peers, and he immediately returned the greeting with some surprise, and then said softly: "Oh, I'm actually here to look for Sister Yang Yu!"
"Looking for, looking for me!?" Yang Yu, who was standing aside at a loss, suddenly screamed in surprise.
Qingyun Lay Buddhist curled his lips and glared at Yang Yu, then scolded: "A distinguished guest is here, why are you so surprised? Have you forgotten all the lady's etiquette that I taught you?"
"No, I remember it very clearly. I haven't forgotten a single word..." Facing Qingyun Jushi's reproach, Yang Yu just lowered his head and responded in a low voice.
Seeing that Yang Yu was a little embarrassed, Bai Hao hurriedly said, "It was me who suddenly made a noise and disturbed Sister Yang Yu. It's not her fault, it's not her fault!"
Hearing this, Yang Yu looked towards Bai Hao with some gratitude, but when their eyes overlapped, she immediately glanced away, looking extremely cute.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Qingyun Lay Buddhist asked slowly, "I wonder why Viscount Campbell wants to see Yu'er. It's getting late today. If he wants to go out for fun, I'm afraid it's better..."
No matter how much he admired Bai Hao, Mr. Qingyun still put his great-granddaughter first. Bai Hao and Yang Yu were of similar age, so after much thought, the only possibility left was to make an appointment to go out and play together.
Bai Hao shook his head, and then said softly: "I am looking for Yang Yu to ask about the matter of Qiankun Peak, but before that, I hope you can show me the Jie Ming Magic Stone on you..."
"Oh." Recalling his conversation with Yang Xiaoyun in the evening, Qingyun Jushi quickly understood the purpose of Bai Hao's visit, and then hurriedly took out a round and smooth white pebble from the inner pocket of his robe.
As soon as Mr. Qingyun took out the magic stone, Bai Hao opened the divine vision and soon discovered that the Jie Ming magic stone was constantly releasing magic power.
This is a high-level magic of the wind element. Just as Yang Xiaoyun said, the life-enhancing magic stone on Qingyun's body contains a mid-level body-strengthening magic, and it is constantly affecting this frail old man, allowing him to become more agile.
Bai Hao took the Jie Ming Magic Stone and looked at it for a while. Finally, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "The person who developed the Jie Ming Magic Stone is really a genius. This is a milestone achievement in the field of magic technology!"
Hearing Bai Hao's sincere praise, Yang Yu couldn't help but raise his lips, and immediately echoed: "That's right, that's right, my father's invention is really amazing!"
Mr. Qingyun smiled but said nothing, just stroking his beard gently. He was very satisfied with his great-grandson's abilities, even though he could not understand the so-called magical technology.
Not long after, Qingyun Lay Buddhist said slowly: "Yu'er's father has liked to study these things since he was a child. Although I don't understand them very well, I fully support him. If Viscount Campbell wants to learn more, I can let Yu'er take you to Qiankun Peak..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Hao nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Master. I am very interested in this magic technology. Please ask Sister Yang Yu to take me up!"
"Oh, by the way, I still don't know the name of the layman's great-grandson..."
Mr. Qingyun stroked his long beard again and said proudly, "Yang Wei! This is the name I gave it myself."
