Lin Hongluan's family consists of only her and her daughter. The three-story villa is not large, about 500 square meters.
It is said that Lin Yuhang took 50 million yuan, paid off some of his debts, and then lost contact with them.
Because Li Mu had returned, Lin Hongluan made a special call to her father, Lin Yuhang, but he showed no intention of meeting her.
She only exchanged a few pleasantries with Li Mu on the phone, and told him to be good to his daughter.
Lin Yuhang's tone on the phone was low and somber, as if he felt ashamed to face them.
Li Mu stayed at Lin Hongluan's house for five days.
Except for the first day of the Lunar New Year when they went out to buy groceries together, none of the three of them went out.
None of the three were the type to enjoy joining in the fun; they preferred to stay home and chat occasionally, discussing matters related to cultivation.
In the past few days, Li Mu has taught the two several body-strengthening techniques and some spells, such as the Water Ball Technique, the Fire Ball Technique, and the Wind Control Technique.
Judging from their attitudes toward cultivation, it was actually the mother-in-law who was more attentive, while Lin Hongluan seemed somewhat distracted.
Han Bing became single-minded and devoted herself to cultivation after her divorce.
Lin Hongluan focused more of her attention on Li Mu after his return.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
These past few days, apart from a symbolic New Year's Eve dinner, Li Mu hasn't really experienced much of the festive atmosphere.
However, the heartwarming scene of family reunion still made him feel very warm.
During this period, Li Mu called Li Hongjun every day, but was unable to reach him.
This gave him a bad feeling.
When Lin Hongluan saw Li Mu put away his phone and frown again, she couldn't help but ask:
"Li Mu, has something happened?"
"Yes! Something's wrong. I haven't been able to get in touch with my second uncle, and I'm a little worried about him."
Li Mu felt there was no need to hide anything from Lin Hongluan, so he told her the whole story.
“Hongluan, I want to go back to Jiangcheng to see if my second uncle left me any other messages.”
“Li Mu, I haven’t been to your house yet. How about I go back to Jiangcheng with you?”
Looking into Lin Hongluan's expectant eyes, Li Mu couldn't refuse and agreed to go back to Jiangcheng with her.
After saying goodbye to Han Bing, the two drove away from Xiangzhou together in a Porsche Cayenne SUV.
.
Li Mu originally intended to use his flying sword to take Lin Hongluan back to Jiangcheng, so she could experience the feeling of soaring through the air.
Then he realized that if he managed to contact his second uncle, he might have to leave at any time, so he decided to drive back to Jiangcheng.
After returning to his villa in Jiangcheng, Li Mu cast several dust-removing spells to clean the house.
They discovered that Li Hongjun had indeed returned; he had taken the few bottles of pills left in the safe.
However, no note was left at home like last time.
With no message and no one to contact, Li Mu was at a loss.
I truly understood how anxious Lin Hongluan felt after being unable to contact him for so long.
When Lin Hongluan saw Li Mu start to frown again, she grabbed his hand and used her hand to help smooth out the wrinkles.
"Li Mu, don't worry too much. Maybe your second uncle is busy with something else, or maybe he's fine!"
Li Mu finally smiled when he heard Lin Hongluan's comforting words.
He couldn't predict what was going on with his second uncle. Even if something did happen, worrying himself to death at home wouldn't help.
Now that Lin Hongluan is with him, he shouldn't let his excessive worry affect her mood.
Gradually, the two started talking about other things, diverting their attention.
Because she had to stay at home and keep an eye on the phone, Lin Hongluan was eager to show off her cooking skills and cook for Li Mu.
The two went out together to buy ingredients and busied themselves in the kitchen.
Li Mu was in charge of chopping vegetables, while Lin Hongluan was in charge of cleaning and cooking.
Because she was unfamiliar with cooking, Lin Hongluan had to make a video call to her mother for advice.
The two of them worked for two hours and finally managed to make three dishes and a soup.
The appearance and taste of the food were indescribable; in a word, it was edible.
It's not about how delicious it is, but about the warmth and connection between the two of them.
.
As evening approached, darkness fell.
Li Mu led Lin Hongluan to the edge of the foot-wrapping lake.
The two stood on the small boat and headed towards the center of the lake.
Last time, Li Mu had an epiphany in this lake, and his cultivation level directly entered the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
This time, he led Lin Hongluan to the natural formation, and after throwing out a few formation flags, the formation appeared.
Only then did he realize that it was a series of interconnected formations, with a trapping and killing formation nested within an invisible formation, and also some spirit-gathering effects.
Li Mu closed his eyes and sensed the energy for a while. There was a lot of spiritual energy gathered in the formation. If he wanted to cultivate, he couldn't exhaust the resources, otherwise he would suffer a backlash.
However, because his soul was damaged and he could not break through, he did not have much need for spiritual energy at the moment, and planned to give the spiritual energy to Lin Hongluan for cultivation.
The amount of spiritual energy in the array is enough for Lin Hongluan to cultivate for several days without any problem.
Li Mu placed two array flags on the ship, fixing the ship within the array.
Then, after explaining things to Lin Hongluan and watching her begin her cultivation, he quietly boarded his flying sword and left.
He wanted to go to Longmo Mountain to see a spiritual spring there, which he had been longing to visit for a long time.
A few minutes later, he appeared at the bottom of the cliff.
When he saw the spiritual spring again in his consciousness, he no longer had the regrets he had before; all he felt was greed.
He was determined to have this spring.
.
After determining the location of the spiritual spring, he went directly to the top of the spring.
The horizontal distance from the bottom of the cliff is more than 100 meters, but now it's only about 20 meters from the ground.
Although the distance is not long, there is a rock layer of more than ten meters in the middle that cannot be dug through without sharp tools.
Things that were impossible before are now no challenge for Li Mu.
He destroyed the bathtub he had crafted and reforged a Luoyang shovel.
Moreover, the nicked longsword was also ready.
A dozen minutes later, he dug more than three meters down the ground at an angle. This was the soil layer, and next was the rock layer.
For Li Mu now, digging tunnels is no problem, even in rocky areas.
Whether he can take the spiritual spring away depends on his other methods.
Two hours later, he had cleared a passage to the spiritual spring and arrived at its edge.
There was already a hole of four or five square meters around the spiritual spring, and he expanded the area around the spring for easier operation.
After doing all this, Li Mu sat down by the spiritual spring and meditated for ten minutes.
After getting up, he used his long sword to cut off more than ten square meters around the spirit spring, and then began to set up array flags.
To remove the spiritual spring, a transfer formation must be set up.
After more than thirty array flags were deployed, the transfer formation was complete.
Li Mu took out the Golden Pearl World and conjured up a huge entrance.
Then, he threw down an activation flag, made a hand gesture, and shouted, "Activate the formation!"
After a brief ripple, the spiritual spring embedded in the large rock slowly entered the world of golden pearls.
.
After the spiritual spring was moved, a bottomless black hole was left inside the mountain. Li Mu put away the Golden Pearl World and turned to the ground.
After throwing out a few rocks left from digging the hole from the ring, he casually waved his hand a few times, filling all the soil that had been dug out of the ground back in.
After doing all this, Li Mu directly entered the Golden Pearl World.
Looking at the spiritual spring resting beside the Breath of Earth, Li Mu found a spot and began making arrangements again.
This step is crucial; if not arranged properly, the spiritual spring will become a stagnant pool after the spiritual energy is fully released.
After three days in the Golden Pearl World, Li Mu finally finished setting up the spiritual spring.
He also specially set up a spirit-gathering array by the spirit spring.
This spirit-gathering array is not for gathering spirits, but for preventing spiritual energy from dissipating too quickly.
Li Mu reluctantly dripped more than ten drops of stalagmite water into the spiritual spring, and then poured several cases of mineral water into the spring to activate it.
A few breaths later, the poured mineral water overflowed, and water droplets rippled from the spring's eye.
Then, a gurgling sound came, and the water overflowing from the spring was imbued with spiritual energy.
The spiritual spring has been activated.
At this moment, the entire Golden Pearl World seemed to have gained a glimmer of life.
The spring water flows along the route set by Li Mu to the herbs and the Heavenly Spirit Tree he planted, and eventually flows back to the vicinity of the Spirit Spring.
With this spiritual spring, Li Mu took out all the herbs he had collected from the ring and planted them.
A small medicinal herb garden was thus developed.
May this spring never run dry, and forever irrigate his herb garden.
