Luo Shiyu's pores all over her body opened up, and a mysterious feeling emerged in her mind.

Just like a revelation, some obscure insights came directly to her at this moment!

Foundation building, completed!

There was still a trace of confusion in her eyes. She looked at the watermelon rind in front of her with an expression of disbelief.

This watermelon... not only has spiritual energy, but also has a trace of Tao rhyme attached to it! It's

incredible!

What is Tao rhyme? This is the foundation of the Tao. The most important thing for cultivators to break through the bottleneck is the perception of the Tao!

In short, Tao rhyme is really too rare. Although there may be only a trace of it in the watermelon, it still allows Luo Shiyu to break through the foundation easily!

Luo Shiyu's eyes completely changed, almost turning into Li Nianfan's little fangirl.

She quickly stood up, bowed to Li Nianfan and said respectfully: "Thank you for giving me the watermelon to help me break through the foundation!"

The address had changed from "Young Master" to "Senior".

However, Li Nianfan's face darkened.

Is this girl stupid? Not only is she eating watermelon without any restraint, but now she is mocking me?

I am just a mortal. Your breakthrough has nothing to do with me. You still thank me for giving you the watermelon. Did you break through because of eating my watermelon?

It's like a billionaire saying thank you for giving me a dollar. It's extremely irritating.

"I said, I'm just an ordinary mortal, and this watermelon is just an ordinary watermelon, why are you thanking me? Call me senior, am I that old?" Li Nianfan couldn't help but get angry and spoke in a bad tone.

What's wrong with immortal cultivators? Can immortal cultivators trample on the dignity of others?

Luo Shiyu's heart was slightly startled, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. Did she anger the master?

She quickly reflected.

Yes, this master lived in seclusion here as a mortal, isn't it just to comprehend the life of the mortal world and act low-key? I just pointed out his identity directly, so he would be angry.

I really shouldn't have done that!

Luo Shiyu hurried to make amends, apologetically saying, "My dear, I'm sorry. I was just excited and offended you."

This girl's attitude was quite good. She was pretty but not arrogant. She didn't have the airs of an immortal cultivator at all.

Li Nianfan waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I don't take it to heart."

Luo Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief. She gritted her teeth and took off her jade pendant from her waist.

"My dear, this jade pendant was given to me by my father when I came of age. Just consider it as a reward for eating your watermelon today."

The jade pendant was warm to the touch, with a phoenix pattern engraved on it, shining with misty brilliance, and looked somewhat extraordinary.

The maidservant beside Luo Shiyu was shocked and covered her mouth with her hands. She pulled Luo Shiyu and said anxiously, "Miss, this is not allowed!"

Li Nianfan was also shocked by the generosity of this girl. She shook her head and said, "Miss Luo, you are too polite. It's just a watermelon. It's nothing. You should take back the jade pendant."

How can you exchange such a good jade pendant for a watermelon? Do you have a mine?

"Dahei, come out and eat watermelon!" Li Nianfan shouted towards the backyard.

Soon, Dahei rushed out and drooled at the watermelon.

Usually, it guards the fields in the backyard. After all, this is a forest. Although Li Nianfan has never been attacked by wild beasts, it is still necessary to be on guard.

Li Nianfan casually threw the remaining watermelon on the ground and said with a smile: "Look at how greedy you are. Eat it."

Crunch!

Dahei was not ambiguous at all. He buried his whole dog face in the watermelon and swallowed the watermelon rind together.

Luo Shiyu widened her eyes and couldn't help but said: "Young Master, this is too wasteful!"

This is a watermelon with the aura of Tao. Its value even exceeds that of spiritual fruit. Just give it to a dog?

And she stared at Dahei and confirmed again and again that this dog was a very ordinary mortal dog!

If other immortal cultivators knew about this, they would probably be so excited that they would vomit blood. Immortal cultivators are not as good as a dog!

Oh, I didn't expect that the girl from this rich family would be so frugal.

Li Nianfan's liking for Luo Shiyu increased greatly, and he smiled and said, "It's just a watermelon, there are plenty of them here, and it's not a waste to give it to Dahei."

Luo Shiyu's mouth twitched, and she sighed, "You are right, young master."

She was obsessed with appearances, and this kind of watermelon was naturally nothing to a hermit master.

At the same time, she became more determined to make friends. No matter what, if she could make a good relationship with him, it would be a great blessing for her.

Luo Shiyu handed over the jade pendant and advised, "Although you are living in the mountains, you will inevitably encounter some ignorant people. My family has some influence nearby. If someone offends you, you can just take out my jade pendant. It can save you a lot of trouble."

"This... okay."

Li Nianfan thought about it and raised his hand to take it. At the same time, he said, "If the girl wants to come and eat watermelon in the future, you are always welcome."

He looked at the jade pendant in his hand, but found that the pattern on it was too sloppy. Although it was the shape of a phoenix, it did not have a trace of charm. The carving technique was extremely rough. It was a waste of such good material. Maybe he could process it himself.

Luo Shiyu's eyes lit up immediately, and she said excitedly, "Thank you, young master."

The maid was stunned. She couldn't understand why the princess cared so much about a mere mortal. Even those noble children would be lucky to have tea with the princess.

"Sorry for bothering you today, Shiyu will leave now."

Luo Shiyu was very sensible. Since the good relationship had been established, she was ready to leave. Li

Nianfan stood up and said, "I'll see you off."

...

After leaving the courtyard, Luo Shiyu's thoughts were a little scattered. If she hadn't actually broken through to the foundation-building stage, she would have thought it was a dream.

Her fortune was indeed deep, and she could even meet such a reclusive master.

Behind her, the maid asked in confusion: "Princess, why are you so polite to him? I think he is just a mortal."

Luo Shiyu turned around, her face more serious than ever, and said: "Lu Luo, you must not reveal a word about what happened today, and you must not expose the young master's residence, do you understand?"

This senior master is secluded here, and he certainly doesn't want to be disturbed. She must not offend the master.

Lu Luo has never seen the princess so serious, and hurriedly said in fear: "Princess, I know."

"Oh, I forgot to ask the master!" Luo Shiyu suddenly exclaimed.

She wanted to get rid of the marriage arranged by her father. If she asked the master, she might be able to find a solution.

Luo Shiyu was deeply troubled. It was obviously inappropriate to turn back now.

"Well, I can only come here next time."

Luo Shiyu looked up in the direction of the courtyard and found that a thick fog had arisen under the rocks and trees, making the courtyard appear vague...
