The white-bearded Taoist priest was the manager of the entire Lao Jun Mountain. When he saw that Li Yao, a young child, had the same level of spiritual power as him, he wondered what she was doing here.
He directly asked, incorporating his spiritual power, "May I ask what brings you here, young friend?"
Li Yao straightened up and, also imbued with spiritual power, said, "This junior's spiritual power has reached a bottleneck, so I wish to stay at Lao Jun Mountain for a while to experience nature and recuperate. I wonder if senior could do me a favor? Of course, I will pay for the room separately, and I will take care of my own food and lodging."
After Li Yao finished speaking, she waved her hand and placed on the ground some mutated fruit, a total of 100 jin, 50 mutated rabbits, two mutated bison, and two boxes of pre-apocalyptic instant noodles.
Li Yao deliberately aged the instant noodle box, making it look like it had been rummaged through, but of course it wasn't expired.
After arranging these items neatly on the ground, Li Yao clasped her hands in a fist and said, "Please do me this favor, senior."
The old Taoist priest had been observing Li Yao with his spiritual power. Seeing her produce so many items out of thin air, he realized that this young girl was a space-type ability user. Space-type ability users weren't uncommon in the apocalypse; their Lao Jun Mountain had more than a dozen. However, having dual abilities made her a rare talent.
The old Taoist priest pondered for a moment. He and the girl were now of similar level, and the outcome was uncertain. Moreover, fighting might result in mutual injury. Besides, the girl had come with sincerity, and there was nothing for Lao Jun Mountain to gain. It would be better to befriend her. If they really became enemies, with so many supernatural beings on Lao Jun Mountain, the girl wouldn't be able to leave.
Thinking of this, the old Taoist priest stood up, put on his shoes, and went out of the temple. He stopped about 5 meters away from Li Yao and said, "Guests are welcome, but as you know, the temples here have been allocated to the disciples and their families. Why don't you stay in the scenic area? There's no one there; the government relocated everyone during the rainstorm. There are more houses, hotels, and fields there. You can grow some wild vegetables and hunt some game to eat. If you want to come to my Lao Jun Temple, you can come anytime. If anyone from the foot of the mountain comes up, I would also appreciate it if you could look after them. Would you be willing?"
Li Yao naturally agreed. That way, she would have her own mountain and could do whatever she wanted. Li Yao nodded and said, "Thank you, senior. That's fine then. I'll head over now. Please return. I'll be sorry to bother you again in the future."
Li Yao bowed slightly, giving the old man face, then turned around and took out her surfboard, flying towards the scenic area's commercial district.
Today, Li Yao didn't hold back either, showing off her strength while hoping the old man would understand and stop bothering her too much.
This area is called a scenic spot, but it's actually just a commercial district. There are many wooden buildings, most of which are either historical sites or later additions and renovations.
There wasn't a soul in sight in this area, but the buildings were antique and had a unique charm.
Li Yao found the largest courtyard. In front were a restaurant and a handicraft shop, where a thousand-craft canopy bed was on display. In the back was a courtyard with a row of spacious houses, including a second floor. The scenery was beautiful, offering a panoramic view of the entire mountain.
The house was covered in dust, with signs of life everywhere, indicating that the family had left in a hurry.
Li Yao used [Spatial Control] to clean up all the dust in the room, and then released Da Zhuang to clean up.
Li Yao installed solar power generation devices and solar panels on the roof, which could be directly connected to the generator inside the house, or used as an open excuse for using electricity.
There was a well in the yard, but Li Yao had her own water and didn't need it. So she cleaned the whole house and placed several pots of night-blooming jasmine around the yard to repel mosquitoes.
As for the bed, Li Yao had never slept in a canopy bed before, so she moved the canopy bed for display into the largest room on the second floor. This room also had a tea room, which was at least 30 square meters, very spacious, and the view outside was also quite nice.
