Chapter 45
"Woof woof~"
The three adorable little creatures, who were patrolling their territory, came to the backyard.
Tai Chi, thick-skinned as ever, sensed the residual spiritual energy in the air and immediately stuck to Jin Moli.
"Waaah~"
They shamelessly begged and pleaded for it.
Yin and Yang followed.
"Woof!" Under the captain's stern warning, the "whimpering" sound became even more urgent.
"Chirp chirp~"
Little Huang tilted his head, watching the commotion below.
I wonder if its little brain can understand it.
Golden Jasmine needs to be tested; her spiritual power is precious.
Lingxi immediately gave three red bean-sized wisps of spiritual light. As soon as the light appeared, the little ones all fell silent, their eyes fixed on Lingxi's finger.
She didn't hesitate and made the three little ones swallow it. She also didn't forget the little thing on her shoulder. However, as soon as a grain of light appeared, the little guy who was about to lose his temper became obedient.
Lingxi took out a grass seed and handed it to Jin Moli, "Now that you're ready, let's begin!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a gentle breeze carried the still-satisfied puppy away from the backyard. Lingxi then rode the wind and hovered in mid-air to make room to test the effectiveness of her disciple's spell.
Jin Moli took a deep breath, her hand seals changing skillfully, "Soil Turning Technique!"
The reserved land in front automatically rolled and loosened. Then she continued, using her spiritual power to soften the grass seeds. After planting them, a blue cloud the size of a football rose up, and spiritual rain quietly fell.
Because she wasn't very skilled yet, what she intended as a light drizzle was actually amplified by her magic, turning the misty rain into a torrential downpour. Large raindrops fell, and in a short time, the clouds thinned and dissipated.
Lingxi didn't need to look to know how well the rapidly growing weeds around her were controlled; at least 20-30% of them had probably been spilled on the side, threatening to engulf the ground where the golden jasmine had just bloomed. Suddenly, a ball of spiritual fire appeared and burned the newly grown weeds to ashes.
Her master's actions were always so clean and efficient, making her seem all the more clumsy and impulsive.
Hehe~
Jin Moli wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled sheepishly.
Seeing the results in just a few hours, Lingxi nodded in satisfaction and praised, "Not bad, not bad."
"You should focus on regulating your breathing and recovering. I won't look at the insect exorcism technique; you can handle that yourself."
"Okay."
Jin Moli had been working non-stop and was quite tired. She had also used up two-thirds of the spiritual energy in her dantian, so she obediently went to the spirit array to recuperate.
Yun Qingzi had already stopped what she was doing and was watching her senior sister's technique without moving.
He also went to the side to ask Jin Moli about her inner feelings. After understanding her thoroughly, he felt more confident. He went to the side and tried again. This time, he finally succeeded in turning the soil and controlling the rain.
Lingxi, who had been watching from the side, took out a piece of grass seed.
"Apprentice, catch."
Yun Qingzi was taken aback and subconsciously caught the exquisite and translucent water lily seed, which resembled ice crystals. This was the first time he had ever touched it. The outer shell was not as soft as he had imagined; instead, it was as hard as a gemstone.
His palms no longer had the calluses left from years of hard work, and the grass seeds didn't look too badly damaged in his hands.
"Let's try it for the first time and see how it goes."
The older you get, the more you seek stability, and you only try something when you are absolutely sure you have it.
Lingxi naturally wanted to push him a little.
The master spoke in his ear to remind him.
He sensed that he still had enough spiritual energy left in his body, so he could try again.
An old man shouldn't be inferior to these young people.
A resolute glint flashed across Yun Qingzi's thin face. He activated his magic power and, having practiced many times, was already familiar with the process, releasing the spell once again.
As the ground was turned over, a sweet, natural fragrance wafted from the newly turned soil.
He slowed his movements, planted the seed, and learned from his senior sister's lesson.
The release of magical power this time was done with exceptional caution.
When a cloud, roughly the size of a golden jasmine, was released, the raindrops were precisely directed towards the grass seeds.
As an older generation
Through years of farming, he has developed an extremely precise control over rainfall.
Soon after, the rain stopped.
"Slap slap~"
Lingxi couldn't help but applaud Yun Qingzi.
"Qingzi, you're amazing! Go and rest for a while, don't overwork yourself."
Yun Qingzi, whose spiritual energy was completely depleted, looked exhausted. His cultivation level was one level lower than Jin Moli's, and his spiritual energy reserves were small. He had barely managed to hold on until now. He mustered his spirits and walked quickly toward the spirit array.
Lingxi descended on the wind, gazing at her two beloved disciples in the Spirit Gathering Array, her eyes overflowing with tenderness.
A few hours later
The sky gradually darkened.
More than a hundred water lilies firmly surrounded the front and back yards of the villa. Once they grew, the entire area around the house was within the spirit-gathering array.
Lingxi suddenly sighed, "From now on, I'm afraid ordinary people won't be able to get into the place I live in!"
Whether it's the front yard, the back yard, or the mountains and forests behind, all will be planted with water lily grass in the future.
The inherent pressure of the spiritual herb will naturally make people keep their distance and unable to get close.
“Master, that’s good. There will be plenty of things to do in the future, and this will give us a chance to relax.”
Jin Moli shook her head and laughed.
Yun Qingzi: "This is indeed a good thing."
“Master, isn’t this the freedom you’ve been looking for? No more worldly troubles, just peace and quiet.”
After spending some time together, they all came to understand Lingxi's true nature.
Now that they have gone to the countryside to live in seclusion, as disciples and junior brothers, they should naturally share the burdens of their master and senior sister.
"That's true."
Lingxi nodded.
Jin Moli and Yun Qingzi finished drinking the spiritual liquid in their hands to replenish their strength.
They exhausted their spiritual energy several times during the rotation of planting.
However, they also discovered that after their spiritual energy was exhausted, the speed at which it recovered also increased. After several refinements, the spiritual energy in their dantian became much purer.
After a day of fussing and struggling, Yun Qingzi went to the pond again after recovering.
When I got back, I took a small fish, but only used some seasonings to remove the fishy smell and made a simple soup.
It tastes quite delicious.
Lingxi found picking out fish bones troublesome, and Jin Moli was too young to be afraid of getting fish bones stuck in her throat, so Yun Qingzi had already cleaned the bones out when she made it.
He shared some of the leftover fish soup with the three dogs that were eagerly craving it, who were following him around.
The small pot was quickly devoured by several people.
Lingxi hadn't been to the pond for several days and remembered the fish that dominated it, so she asked, "How's that fish boss doing lately?"
Yun Qingzi took a sip of fish soup and smiled gently: "Lately, she's been helping me herd fish. I think the ones we end up eating are probably the ones with impatient temperaments."
"So sensible."
Lingxi raised an eyebrow.
Yun Qingzi: "It wants more spiritual power. It helped me unintentionally before and got a taste of the benefits, so it's naturally willing to give in."
A smile appeared on Jin Moli's face: "It's just like when we were kids, we would help adults with chores for the sake of candy."
Lingxi pondered for a moment, "It seems that its wisdom is quite extraordinary."
"Pay more attention to it in the future."
Linxi Cave is truly a place where hidden talents reside; neither the people there nor anything else is simple.
Yun Qingzi naturally agreed.
The meat we've been eating these days is largely thanks to it.
As the two were chatting, Jin Moli put down her bowl and looked at the unfamiliar car parked at the gate.
Noticing the person approaching, she tilted her head, looking confused.
These two...
Yun Qingzi cleared away the dishes and looked towards the courtyard: "Oh dear, what brings the second son of the Yang family here?"
Lingxi was also surprised: "What's going on? What's this???"
"Woof woof woof woof..."
The security captain was the first to warmly welcome the guests.
Yun Qingzi followed.
Lingxi and Jin Moli followed behind.
Jin Moli was a beat slow to react: "Why did Brother Yang come with Brother Xingye?"
Lingxi: "Let's go take a look."
In front of the large iron gate of the front yard
A brand-new car stopped in front of Lingxi Gate, and two young men stepped out from either side.
The curly-haired youth got up and went to the back seat to take out the gift box.
Long Xingye waited to the side. After the young man finished tidying up, he pointed to the courtyard inside and said, "The Immortal Master lives here. Your arrival was sudden. The Immortal Master hasn't replied to my message yet. Oh, they're coming out. Let's go."
"Okay, bro, thank you for your help."
Yang Lanting remarked with admiration, "No wonder it's the place where the master lived; the local people are so warm and simple."
Having already sensed something was amiss, Yun Qingzi opened the door and saw Long Xingye leading a curly-haired man who was unfamiliar with the area. She couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache, especially when she saw what the man was carrying.
Yang Lanting came running over with a big smile, greeting him warmly:
"Master Yun, it's been several days."
“Master, I have come here today specifically to bother you for a moment.”
"Master Jin, have you missed me?"
He greeted everyone warmly, and the curly hair on his head seemed to be cheering with joy.
Lingxi: "Welcome, welcome! Come in and have a seat."
Yun Qingzi led Yang Lanling towards the hall, while Ling Xi lagged behind and asked Long Xingye, "Do you two know each other?"
"I don't know him."
"Then you..."
“His car just happened to stop in front of my shop. He was asking for directions. I was thinking of sending you a message, but you didn’t reply, so I brought him here to familiarize himself with the place.”
information?
Lingxi opened her phone and scrolled down. Five unread messages were displayed on Long Xingye's profile picture. They were busy at the time and hadn't checked the messages in time.
"It's true that I didn't check my phone. Thank you so much for your hospitality."
"Since we're not leaving anyway, let's go in and have a drink."
Thinking of the tea inside, Long Xingye couldn't help but swallow hard, and readily agreed: "Alright, Master, I will certainly accept your invitation."
"Ha ha……"
inside the house
Lingxi sat alone at the head of the table, with Yun Qingzi and Jin Moli on one side and the newcomers Yang Lanting and Long Xingye on the other side of the sofa.
"Try it all, this is a tea that Qingzi has been treasuring for a long time, and it tastes very good."
Long Xingye immediately picked up the cup and took a sip. As soon as it entered his stomach, he felt a warm sensation mixed with the unique fragrance of tea. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, bring the teacup close to his nose, and take a deep breath.
This is the taste!
It smells delicious! It smells so good!
After taking a few sips, the warmth spreading from his stomach softened his features, and he felt incredibly refreshed, both inside and out!
Yang Lanting was initially in a normal mood, but when he glanced at Long Xingye's exaggerated behavior, he was somewhat surprised and even puzzled.
As the aroma of tea filled the air, his gaze involuntarily drifted towards it.
After taking the tea from Master Yun, he imitated Long Xingye's movements for a while.
His previously tired expression suddenly became energetic.
He drank the entire cup of tea in one go.
They didn't even leave the tea leaves in the cup untouched.
I put it in my mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
Putting down his cup, the young man, whose skin wasn't thick enough, licked his lips and blushed silently when he met the gazes of the group.
I don't even know where to put my fingers.
The three people opposite smiled knowingly and tacitly looked away.
Long Xingye shamelessly ordered another drink, then turned to see the shy young man.
She nudged him with her elbow. "Want a refill?"
The usually generous and wealthy young man was a little embarrassed for the first time, yet reluctant to part with the delicious food.
He finally nodded hesitantly: "Yes."
