He wanted to ignite this wisp of smoke and turn it into a raging fire.

Anyone who dares to hinder his apprentice's progress is his enemy.

Even if he himself dared to be this stumbling block, he would still slap himself twice across the face!

Su Tiantian always felt a chill on her neck.

Why has Master become so excited?

"Good disciple, come, let's go meditate."

Lin the Blind Man groped his way to Su Tiantian's hand and went out.

Su Tiantian was also swayed by Lin Xiazi's emotions and followed along with great fighting spirit, as if she could already see herself in the future, wielding a whisk and dominating the world.

But the fantasy lasted only half an hour before it was shattered.

Su Tiantian sat on the futon, feeling drowsy.

Even the dog was more focused than her. Heimi didn't understand what meditation was, but it sat there very alert, not even dozing off...

Listening to her snoring, Blind Lin helplessly glanced up at the gradually brightening sky above. He picked up the small bamboo branch in his hand, raised it, then put it down again. Finally, he cleared his throat and coughed loudly, "Cough cough cough—"

Startled by the loud noise, Su Tiantian immediately opened her eyes and sat up straight again.

Lin the Blind Man breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Su Tiantian was almost asleep again.

Blind Lin used the same trick again.

"Cough cough cough—"

"Achoo!"

Coughing and sneezing, each one louder than the last.

They managed to wake Su Tiantian from her nap.

Yang Hongmei, who was making breakfast in the front yard, couldn't help but mutter to herself as she listened to the noise, "This Taoist priest Lin isn't in good health..."

But the cough was so loud, like thunder, that she was so focused on cooking that she would occasionally shudder in fright.

I even got burned while steaming buns this morning.

It seems making money isn't easy; she needs to adapt quickly.

If I get so scared that I underperform, I might lose this job.

In the backyard, Su Tiantian was completely refreshed. As the sky brightened and the morning glow gradually faded, she felt a slightly refreshing breath entering her body. She felt it was a little sweet and couldn't help but ask, "Master, is this sweet breath the morning sun's energy?"

Lin the Blind nodded: "That's right, this can be stored in the body. This is the experience you will need to draw talismans in the future. The more complex the talisman, the more energy it consumes. Not everyone can be so easily tripped up by you and made to draw talismans like that."

Lin the Blind recalled Su Tiantian's previous methods of dealing with Yuan Zhen, and he analyzed them for Su Tiantian with a serious expression.

Yuan Zhen was only an elder in a small branch of the Ancient Jade Sect. There were many people in the Ancient Jade Sect who were more powerful than Yuan Zhen.

He and Su Tiantian were able to win over Yuan Zhen by taking a shortcut.

Yuanzhen relied too much on his eyesight; once he lost his sight, it was as if he had lost half his life.

They then launched a sneak attack from the shadows, and that's how they succeeded.

"I understand, I will study hard."

Su Tiantian thought Lin the Blind Man made a lot of sense. She had divine power, but her body was small. The human body had many weaknesses, so she still had to study hard.

Lin the Blind smiled gently and said, "Let's go have breakfast. After breakfast, we'll practice with Master."

Su Tiantian nodded; she could already smell the aroma of the food.

Black Rice wagged its tail and followed closely beside Su Tiantian.

They arrived at the front yard, just as Yang Hongmei had finished packing up and was preparing to go back.

"Master Lin, is there anything you would like to eat?"

Yang Hongmei asked politely.

Blind Lin shook his head: "Normal meals are fine, as are seasonal fruits and vegetables."

He gave me a lot of money, so naturally the nutrition had to be comprehensive.

Yang Hongmei nodded seriously and then left.

Su Tiantian gave Lin Xiazi a big meat bun, tossed one to Heimi, and took another for herself.

The meat buns were so delicious that Su Tiantian ate three in a row, along with two eggs and a cup of milk powder.

Lin the Blind Man treated her very well. She no longer needed the milk powder, but Lin the Blind Man said it was extra nutrition and she had to drink it.

Su Tiantian even shared half a cup with Heimi.

After they had eaten their fill, Blind Lin took her for a walk, first to the fields, and then back to the backyard to start practicing.

The blind man Lin taught Su Tiantian gentle kung fu techniques.

Su Tiantian was covered in sweat after practicing, but she didn't feel tired.

"Go change your clothes and we'll have lunch later. You've finished practice for today. You can play whenever you want this afternoon."

Lin the Blind spoke gently.

Su Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought she would have to study all day.

Thank goodness.

The days that followed were pretty much the same each day. Su Tiantian always felt that she had acted too early, but it was too late to regret it.

She wanted to be lazy, but Blind Lin wouldn't give her the chance.

She wasn't beaten, but Lin the Blind's coughing could be heard everywhere.

Over time, Su Tiantian stopped dozing off.

Su Luo would come and stay one night every week, and each time she would spend half a day giving Lin the Blind acupuncture.

The weather gets colder in December, and there's less morning sunlight to absorb.

After finishing her meditation session today, Su Tiantian sighed, "Even less than yesterday..."

Listening to Su Tiantian's complaints, Lin the Blind Man reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "Don't worry, winter is the end of the year, when everything withers and life diminishes. When spring comes, the earth will be rejuvenated. Spring is full of life, and the morning sun is intoxicating."

Children often lack patience and need more patience to be guided.

"Isn't there any other way?"

Su Tiantian asked, feeling frustrated.

"This is a law of nature, and it cannot be changed."

Blind Lin shook his head.

Sensing Su Tiantian's low spirits, he smiled and said, "Animals are all hibernating, and trees are also accumulating energy to sprout new branches in spring. People are the same. After spring, summer and autumn, winter is also a time for reflection."

Su Tiantian nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

She didn't dwell on it too much, but she didn't give up thinking of solutions either.

Because of her contemplation, the usually lively and active Su Tiantian sat quietly in the courtyard for an entire afternoon.

Heimi didn't understand why Su Tiantian wasn't playing today. She had already lay down and wagged her tail several times, but Su Tiantian still wouldn't come to play with her.

After a few times, Heimi calmed down and leaned against Su Tiantian.

Lin the Blind Man would be packing his things in the afternoon, and he naturally noticed Su Tiantian's mood.

So that evening I reminded Yang Hongmei to make some seafood that Su Tiantian likes to eat tomorrow.

At night, after Su Tiantian fell asleep, she had a dream in which she pulled Yu Qing into her dream.

Since she started learning from her master, this has been how she has met Yuqing.

"Little princess, why are you unhappy today?"

Yu Qing's massive body leaned against Su Tiantian, and its side fin gently patted Su Tiantian's shoulder in a comforting gesture.

"Brother Yuqing, how can I absorb more morning sun energy every day?"

Su Tiantian expressed her inner turmoil.

Yu Qing thought for a moment and said, "It's springtime on the other side of the world. Many animals have the habit of migrating. Swallows, for example, will fly to warmer places when it's no longer warm here, and then fly back when spring comes and the flowers bloom."

"If you and your master could move to a place where it's springtime now, you'd get plenty of morning sunshine."

Yu Qing analyzed it carefully.
