Ahri knew what she looked like now. Due to long-term malnutrition, her face was flat from front to back, and she also had a birthmark on her face.
Ah Li herself wanted to cover her face, wondering why Lei Mingjue had cared so much about the original owner back then.
The next day, Lei Mingjue went to the fields.
Ah Li was boiling water at home; the water was just brought back by Lei Mingjue that day.
The water is clear, tastes sweet, and contains hidden spiritual energy.
Ahri didn't intend to boil it; she just took a sip.
Lei Mingjue stopped her, saying, "Let's boil it. We don't know where this water came from, and it doesn't seem like spring water."
Before dawn, Lei Mingjue went to the field to weed. Then he felt hot, thirsty, and hungry, and thought: If only there were water.
As a result, when he returned, he heard the sound of flowing water. The sound was not loud. When he went over to take a look, he found that water was flowing out from under a large rock, and it was quite clear.
Lei Mingjue then came back and asked Ah Li if he had anything to hold water, as he was going to fetch some.
Ah Li asked curiously, "Where is the water?"
The original owner had lived here for so long, but if he wanted to get a drink of water, he had to walk two miles to a river, which wasn't very clean.
The original owner would only go there to drink water when she was so thirsty that she couldn't stand it anymore; otherwise, she would wait for it to rain and collect rainwater to drink.
Lei Mingjue said, "It's not far from your house; it flows out from a crack in a large rock."
When Lei Mingjue arrived yesterday, he noticed a row of jars and bowls on the ground. Some were chipped, some were very dirty, but they all had a little bit of water on them.
Ah Li went with Lei Mingjue to see it. She was a little skeptical because the original owner of this body had lived here for so many years and had never seen any water nearby.
As it turned out, there really was water, and Ah Li also noticed that after Lei Mingjue filled the bucket with water, the water in the crevice of the big rock disappeared.
Lei Mingjue said with relief, "Luckily we discovered it early, otherwise the water would have been gone."
Ahri silently grumbled to herself, "You're Heaven's favorite son; this water was specially prepared for you."
However, she's benefited from it now.
Ah Li chimed in, "You're really amazing! You spotted the water right away, otherwise it would have all run dry."
Lei Mingjue was carrying water and didn't look at Ah Li.
Suddenly hearing Ahri say he was amazing, he turned to look at Ahri, and the first thing he saw was the birthmark on Ahri's face. He turned back and muttered, "This person's voice is quite nice."
Ahri pretended not to hear and followed Lei Mingjue back.
After Lei Mingjue brought the water back, he went to the field again, saying he wanted to get some sweet potato leaves to cook sweet potato porridge.
Ah Li didn't dare tell Lei Mingjue that her family had no rice.
Just then, Ahri noticed someone walking towards them, and this person was carrying a spirit beast.
Hello, is anyone home?
The man who appeared was dressed in blue, like the bright moon in a mountain stream, with graceful bearing and extraordinary handsomeness. His unique temperament was like the brushstrokes in a traditional Chinese ink painting, possessing both the dynamism of mountains and rivers and a profound inner meaning.
Oh, he's a cultivator.
It seems that Heaven is about to give his son a cheat code.
Lei Mingjue asked her yesterday if she was a cultivator, and today he arranged for a cultivator to come.
Ahri came out of the kitchen. As soon as she appeared, she saw the man's expression change slightly before returning to normal.
"Young lady, do you have any water? I'd like to ask for a bowl of water."
This person could have gone without drinking water, but for some reason, he felt unbearably thirsty after getting here.
Ahri first looked at the spirit beast in his hand, and then said, "There is water, but you have to exchange it for something."
This mythical beast is edible, and Ahri wants to eat meat.
"That's natural."
Seeing that Ah Li was staring intently at the spirit beast, the man cut off a piece of meat from the spirit beast's thigh and asked, "Is this enough?"
There was no blood on the cut thigh meat; he had removed it with magic, and the spirit beast was already dead.
Ahri then smiled and said, "Then come in, I'll get you some water."
The man then carried the spirit beast and followed Ah Li inside.
Ahri was very generous and immediately filled a bowl with water for him.
The man looked at the chipped bowl in Ah Li's hand, but he didn't mind and drank from the rim of the bowl.
"Good water."
After finishing his drink, the man looked at Ah Li again and said, "Where did this water come from? I've never encountered such good water on my journey here."
At this moment, Lei Mingjue returned with sweet potato leaves and a lot of hay. He also needed to repair the roof.
However, as soon as he entered the door, he heard someone asking about Ahri's water, so he threw down what he was holding and ran towards Ahri.
"I found this water and I carried it back myself. If you need anything, just come to me!"
Lei Mingjue stood in front of Ahri, looking at the person in front of him.
The man chuckled lightly, "Young friend, don't be nervous. I am Qingxuzi from the Kunlun Sect. I just happened to be passing by and came here to ask for a bowl of water."
Ah Li proudly picked up the spirit beast meat and said to Lei Mingjue, "Yes, he even traded it for spirit beast meat."
Qing Xuzi then looked at Lei Mingjue very seriously and asked, "Young friend, are you interested in cultivating immortality?"
"Yes, I want to cultivate immortality."
Lei Mingjue knew about the Kunlun Sect, which had very strict requirements for accepting disciples every year.
Qingxuzi smiled and asked again, "Then would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Qingxuzi thought about how he had been thirsty when he passed by here earlier, and perhaps it was fate that brought him to this person.
