The original owner's spiritual veins were completely destroyed. When he saved the two brothers, his blood dripped onto the jade pendant at Jiang Zeqi's waist, and his spiritual veins were unexpectedly repaired.
However, his spiritual root aptitude dropped from top-grade fire spiritual root to low-grade fire spiritual root.
His cultivation level had stagnated, and at nearly 20 years old he was still only a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The Jiang brothers, at only twelve years old, had already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and had been stuck there for three years, just one step away from Foundation Establishment.
The original owner often felt guilty for not being able to provide them with better cultivation resources. In addition, he had to support two others and evade the pursuit of enemies, so the three of them lived a very frugal life.
However, the two brothers were very sensible and never made any demands. They would only follow the original owner's instructions, repeatedly refining their bodies and waiting for the sect to recruit students.
Yun Lian stood atop the waterfall, gazing at the two people below.
Jiang Zeqi glanced at Yun Lian only once before quickly lowering his head.
"Big brother, is Master trying to give us extra training? I feel like I could kill two cows with one punch right now."
Jiang Wenjing looked up, but only saw Yun Lian's back. He pursed his thin lips, remained silent, and stared straight at the churning waves.
When the two brothers finally came up, several plates of delicate side dishes had already been laid out in the courtyard.
Jiang Zeqi excitedly went to find Yun Lian, calling her "Master" repeatedly.
Yun Lian brought out the last dish, but Jiang Zeqi took her away just as she was about to run into her.
"Master, call me if you need anything. It hurts me to see you working so hard."
Jiang Zeqi has two small tiger teeth when he smiles, so you can't see his eyes, which makes him look very innocent.
Yun Lian was also infected by his smile, and a hint of doting appeared on her lips.
"good."
Jiang Zeqi walked ahead happily. With his current cultivation level, he could easily dry his clothes with his spiritual power after getting out of the water.
Whether intentionally or not, he was soaking wet, his robes clinging to his waist, revealing glimpses of his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
"Zeqi, how can you be so careless again?"
With a wave of her hand, Yun Lian made Jiang Zeqi look incredibly refreshed in his white robes.
Even the young man's bangs were incredibly flowing.
The boy turned around, revealing red lips and white teeth. The red ribbon binding his dark hair was tossed onto his shoulder as he turned his head.
"With Master here, I won't catch a cold."
When he doesn't smile, he is gentle and refined; when he does smile, he is innocent and lively.
Yun Lian was stunned by his doughy smile and reached out to pinch his face.
"I think you're just deliberately trying to get me to help you, Xiao Zeqi. Why are you so cunning?"
Jiang Zeqi begged for mercy as she pinched his cheek.
"Master, I was wrong, please forgive me this time."
When Jiang Wenjing brought the peach blossom wine from the room, he saw the master and apprentice enjoying a harmonious time together.
Jiang Wenjing's face tightened; if he hadn't been in good control, he would have crushed the wine jar.
Seeing that he was silent, Yun Lian quickly called out, "Wen Jing, come quickly, we're just waiting for you."
"Yes, Master."
Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you can begin fasting.
Both brothers knew that Yun Lian had chosen to dine with them in order to keep them company.
Therefore, both brothers cherished the time they could dine with Yun Lian.
Yun Lian held up a glass of fruit wine and clinked glasses with the two of them.
"Zeqi, Wenjing, you two brothers have been stuck at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining for two years. Your master may go out for a trip in a while."
At that time, you brothers must not slacken in your cultivation.
Jiang Zeqi couldn't hear anything else, only that Yun Lian was about to leave.
He immediately hugged Yun Lian's arm and acted like a big puppy.
"Master, please take me with you. Let my elder brother stay home alone. You can take your disciple out to gain some experience."
Yun Lian stretched out a finger and pushed Jiang Zeqi's head away.
"Brothers united can move mountains. Jiang Zeqi, are you sure you can bear to leave your elder brother all alone?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zeqi felt guilty, but despite his lack of reason, he was still defiant.
"My elder brother has always accompanied you on your training trips, but Master has never taken me along. Master, do you like my elder brother more and not me as much?"
Jiang Zeqi was pushed away by Yun Lian. He was holding a wine glass, on the verge of tears, his eyes red, and he just stared at Yun Lian with longing eyes.
It seemed that Yun Lian wouldn't agree unless she gave him an answer.
“Jiang Zeqi, you are 14 years old, not 4. Don’t always be unreasonable to your master.”
Before Yun Lian could think of a response, Jiang Wenjing spoke coldly.
Jiang Zeqi immediately looked aggrieved and muttered under his breath.
"As long as Master is still here, I can always be four years old..."
Yun Lian reached out and ruffled Jiang Zeqi's hair.
"Jiang Si Sui, this time I'm going out without anyone else. How about you two brothers keep each other company?"
"Don't worry, once you successfully establish your foundation, your master will never stop you from going wherever you want."
After Jiang Zeqi took a sip of peach blossom wine, the corners of his eyes turned even redder and more alluring.
Her lips were glossy and vibrant, with a touch of childlike innocence.
"But Master hasn't said whether he likes Big Brother a little more?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenjing clenched his fists, his expression becoming even colder.
The younger brother always thought that his master cared more about him, but the master most often secretly covered him with a blanket for him.
"Master, of course you like our Zeqi too. Who doesn't love a little crybaby?"
Jiang Zeqi had only drunk one cup of peach blossom wine when he seemed to be drunk.
He answered naively, "Zeqi also loves Master the most."
Perhaps only the crying child gets candy.
Jiang Wenjing glanced at the two of them enjoying their peaceful time together, and silently refilled his glass.
The next item was a Jiangze lacquer wine cup.
Jiang Zeqi was in high spirits and completely forgot that he couldn't hold his liquor. He chatted and laughed with Yun Lian while constantly tilting his head back to drink.
Before long, Jiang Zeqi was already lying on the table with a flushed face.
