"You have such a big yard, how come you don't even have a servant to clean up?" Li Xiu asked while eating a lamb chop.
In Changshengtian, having servants is not a rare thing. Many people in Wangsheng Town are willing to enter Changsheng City, even if it is to be servants.
The four major families have many servants. Li Qingyi is the only daughter of the chairman after all, so how come there is not even a servant in her garden?
Li Qingyi poured himself a glass of wine, then drank it all in one breath, playing with the glass in his hand and said, "I can do whatever I want by myself, and do whatever I want. Why should I let an outsider see my shameful side?"
"Tell me, what terrible things have you done?" Li Xiu took a bite of meat and a sip of wine. He was really a little hungry.
"There are so many. Whatever you want to hear, I can compose it for you on the spot." Li Qingyi said as he poured himself another glass of wine.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it. Just make up some ideas?" Li Xiu said.
"You should cherish the people who can make up stories for you. If you are an insignificant person, who would be willing to sacrifice so many brain cells to make up stories for you?" Li Qingyi raised the wine glass in front of Li Xiu: "Don't just focus on eating, drink the wine too."
"I'm drinking." Li Xiu clinked glasses with her and they both drank it in one gulp.
Li Qingyi poured wine while saying, "I want someone to make up stories for me, but unfortunately, from childhood to adulthood, there is no one who can make up stories for me."
"Where are your parents? Why don't you live with them? Why do you live alone in a garden like this?" Li Xiu asked.
"I've never seen my mother. I heard that she died of complications during childbirth. As for my father, even if I live in the City Lord's Mansion, I can only see him a few times a year. What difference does it make where I live?" Li Qingyi said with a smile, shaking the wine in her arms.
"Then you are really free. Let's drink to your freedom." Li Xiu and Li Qingyi clinked their glasses again and drank them all in one gulp.
"What about you? Is there anyone else in your family?" Li Qingyi asked Li Xiu.
"I am an orphan." Li Xiu said.
"Then you are freer than me. At least I know who my parents are. You don't even know who your parents are. You are freer than me. Come, let's have another drink for freedom." Li Qingyi poured another glass for Li Xiu.
"No, no, no, I'm an orphan, but I know who my parents are. They're just dead. I heard they were killed by evil spirits." Li Xiu said, "And I think I'm quite happy. Although I don't have parents, my sister is very good to me. She has never let me suffer since I was a child."
"I also want to have a brother or sister, someone to take responsibility when I make a mistake, someone to accompany me when I'm upset, and someone to vent my anger on. Unfortunately, I only have one." Li Qingyi sighed.
"That's not easy. Just recognize one. I recognize my sister." Li Xiu said with a smile.
Li Qingyi was slightly startled: "Isn't that your biological sister?"
"She is my biological sister. There is no one closer to me than my sister. She adopted me, raised me, protected me, and never let me suffer any grievances. There is no one closer to me than her. She is my biological sister." Li Xiu said seriously.
"Then you are so lucky. I also want to have a sister like this." Li Qingyi said sincerely.
"That's easy. Just recognize me as your brother and I will protect you." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Come on, it's good enough that I'm protecting you." Li Qingyi rolled her eyes.
Li Xiu smiled and said, "Then I will recognize you as my sister. I have many sisters anyway, so one more won't make a difference."
"You liar, didn't you say you only have one sister? Where do you get so many sisters?" Li Qingyi pouted.
"I didn't lie to you. I only have this one sister. But my sister said she has several sisters and a brother. Her sister and brother are, of course, my sister and brother." Li Xiu said.
"It's strange what you said. Haven't you met your sister's brothers and sisters?" Li Qingyi asked curiously.
"I've never seen them. My sister said they live far away and it's not convenient to meet them. She will take me home to meet them when there's a chance." Li Xiu took a sip of wine and said, "If you need a sister, I'll give you a few later."
"Forget it. Even they may not accept you, so what's the point of bringing another one?" Li Qingyi pouted.
"After all, I am successful now, and you are the eldest daughter of Changshengtian. How could they not accept us? They wish we were really their brothers and sisters. Just come with me, and together we can bring honor to my sister." Li Xiu said while drinking.
"Okay, I'll take care of making you proud, but you have to recognize me as your sister first." Li Qingyi said with a smile.
"It's not up to you or me to decide. It depends on who is older. How old are you?"
"A woman's age is a secret. Don't you even know that?"
…
Two people were drinking and chatting nearby. The puppy was drooling as he watched. He got up and looked around. He saw a wine bottle next to him. He crawled over, hugged the bottle and started chewing on it.
The wine bottle fell down and hit the puppy, making it cry out.
When Li Xiu saw this, he picked up the puppy and put it aside. He then put a large steak in front of the puppy and let it eat it by itself.
The puppy sniffed it and opened its mouth to bite, but the puppy's teeth were short and weak, so after biting for a long time, it could not bite off anything at all, which made Li Xiu laugh.
"This is just a newborn puppy. If you let it eat meat, can it digest it?" Li Qingyi rolled his eyes at him, took a glass of milk, poured it into a plate and placed it in front of the puppy.
The puppy immediately lay down on the plate and licked it vigorously, rolling its pink little tongue vigorously.
Seeing the little puppy so happy, the two continued chatting on their own.
After the puppy licked the milk in the plate, it turned its attention to the wine bottle that it had knocked over.
It crawled over twisting and turning, and bit the bottle cap for a long time, finally making a crack in it, and the wine seeped out from inside. It immediately stretched out its little tongue and licked it hard. After one lick, it shuddered and its little face was a little distorted, but when it recovered, it licked it again, with a look of intoxication on its face.
By the time Li Xiu and Li Qingyi found out, this guy had already drunk most of the bottle and was staggering around holding the bottle in a daze.
"This little puppy has been drinking since he was born. He will definitely be an alcoholic in the future." Li Qingyi said with a smile.
"Let him be a drunkard. It's better than cannibalism." Li Xiu said.
…
Li Changyin and Han Minghui both looked unhappy. They had not looked happy since Bai Wanli came back.
"You mean, Su Bancheng and Han Mingshou were killed by that evil spirit?" Li Changyin said to Bai Wanli.
"Two family heads, that's true. If Wan Chaochun hadn't arrived, I'm afraid Wan Chaoxin and I would not have been able to come back." Bai Wanli said with a bitter face.
"Are you sure my brother was killed by the evil spirit?" Han Minghui stared at Bai Wanli coldly. Her eyes were like sharp blades, as if she wanted to cut open his head to see whether what Bai Wanli said was true or false.
"Vice President Han, what do you mean? Should I kill them?" Bai Wanli said with a gloomy face.
"What about Li Xiu? Why didn't he die?" Han Minghui asked again.
"This is even more infuriating. I originally thought that Li Xiu would be dead after Wan Chaochun came, but who knew that Li Xiu actually recognized Wan Chaochun, and they were sworn siblings. When I heard Wan Chaochun call him the fourth brother, I knew that things were not going to work, so I had to come back." Bai Wanli said.
"What? Li Xiu and Wan Chaochun are sworn siblings?" Li Changyin and Han Minghui were both stunned.
"It's absolutely true. I heard with my own ears that Wan Chaochun called Li Xiu 'fourth brother', and Wan Chaochun also admitted it himself." Bai Wanli said.
"Does Wan Chaoxin know about this?" Li Changyin frowned.
"He probably doesn't know that when the kid heard Wan Chaochun call Li Xiu 'fourth brother', he was stunned. He must have felt even more upset than I did." Bai Wanli said.
Li Changyin looked at Han Minghui and said, "Originally, I wanted Wan Chaoxin to join the gang because I wanted him to take the responsibility of killing Li Xiu. I didn't expect that Li Xiu would be related to Wan Chaochun. It was my negligence."
Han Minghui sighed and said, "Of course, we can't blame Patriarch Li for this. No one would have thought that Li Xiu would be related to Wan Chaochun. We were wrong from the beginning."
"Now that the Wan Chao family and Li Xiu are in collusion with each other, it will be even more difficult to deal with them if we miss this opportunity." Li Changyin also sighed.
"Master Li is overthinking. There will always be opportunities. Li Xiu and Wan Chaoxin have both just become chiefs. As chiefs, they have to fulfill their obligations. If there are any accidents while completing their tasks, they can't blame anyone." Han Minghui said lightly.
Li Changyin smiled and said, "Vice President Han is in charge of task allocation. What tasks do you plan to assign to them?"
"Elder Dao, who is guarding Tianmen, is old and has old injuries. Guarding Tianmen now is just a temporary measure, and it is only a matter of time before he retires. Tianmen still needs someone to guard it. Since Li Xiu and Wan Chaoxin have already been to Tianmen and have a certain understanding of it, let them take over from Elder Dao." Han Minghui said calmly.
"Elder Dao will not step down for the time being. Isn't it too long?" Li Changyin pondered.
"Then let them follow Elder Dao to get familiar with the situation of Tianmen first, and let Elder Dao guide them so that they can take over more easily." Han Minghui said and looked at Li Changyin: "I heard that Elder Dao has a good relationship with you, the head of the Li family. I'm afraid you will have to say hello there."
"As long as Vice President Han can arrange for them to guard Tianmen, the rest can be left to me." Li Changyin paused and said, "But this matter can only be carried out after Wan Chaochun comes back, so as to avoid any more trouble."
"Of course." Han Minghui said and looked at Bai Wanli: "Vice President Bai, I have to trouble you to take me to Tianmen. I want to go and pay tribute to my brother."
"It's my duty." Bai Wanli nodded.
…
It was already early morning when Li Xiu returned to Courtyard No. 7. He locked the puppy in the east wing and went back to his room to sleep until noon.
Sha Chu had already prepared lunch. After the two of them had lunch, Li Xiu went to the east wing and took out the puppy.
This guy was actually still dizzy, and he was staggering while lying on the table. He fell sideways to the ground after only taking two steps.
Li Xiu took out a needle and made a blood-sealed stone. He took a drop of blood from the puppy and dripped it on the blood-sealed stone.
This guy is different from the demon in the Demon Ring. After all, he is a wild creature. It would be bad if he went wild and hurt people in the future. The blood seal stone is used just in case.
After doing all this, Li Xiu threw the puppy aside and asked Sha Chu to get something to feed it.
“If we want to allow low-level trial-takers to practice the Condensing Light method, we must solve the problem of the symbiotic contract fusion.” Li Xiu was thinking about how to revise the “Zi Bu Yu Guai Li Luan Shen Jue”.
It is impossible to break the symbiotic contract before being promoted to the light base. Even if it is broken, it is impossible to successfully merge.
Because the physical body is not strong enough and the compatibility with the symbiotic contract is not enough, it is useless to break the symbiotic contract now.
"Since this road is blocked, I can only think of a way to replace it or bypass it." Li Xiu pondered over it. Without solving this problem, ordinary low-level trial-takers would never be able to master the Ningguang method.
The human body itself is not suitable for cultivation, and one must rely on the symbiotic contract to embark on the path of a trial-taker. Integrating the symbiotic contract as a foundation is also an important step in the transformation of the human body.
This is an almost unsolvable problem, just like the human body cannot carry out photosynthesis like plants. What Li Xiu has to do now is almost as difficult as enabling humans to have the ability of photosynthesis.
"Is it possible to use external forces, just like solar panels convert solar energy?" Li Xiu thought about various possibilities while looking through the resources.
Obviously, this approach is not feasible. The body does not have that kind of characteristics and structure, so it is impossible to possess the abilities of other species out of thin air.
The Ningguang method created by the Demonic people was created based on the body of the demon spirit. It used the contract to change the physical characteristics of humans and met the basic requirements for practicing the Ningguang method.
Li Xiu thought about it and realized that he couldn't get around this problem. He had to change the human body so that it could freely absorb and store light energy.
"My body doesn't have a fusion contract, so why can I practice the Ningguang method?" Li Xiu had to seek a solution to the problem from another angle.
There are only two possibilities for this question. One possibility is that the evil spirit that is parasitic in his body has changed his physique, allowing him to have the possibility to practice the Ningguang method.
Another possibility is that the three lights that were fused before, with the ultimate light, his body was able to practice the method of condensing light.
Li Xiu is more inclined to the latter. After all, when it comes to parasitism, the principles of Qi and the demon spirit should be similar. Even if this is the real reason, it will not be of much help in solving the problem.
Li Xiu could only assume that it was the existence of the Three Lights that gave him the foundation to practice the Ningguang method.
"What exactly are the three kinds of light that the evil spirit gave me?" Li Xiu has been thinking about this question for a long time.
The energy of those three lights was not very strong, but he was able to withstand it with his physical condition at that time. Although he had the help of spiritual consciousness and the young demon spirit, it also showed that the energy of the three lights themselves was limited. The key was that the three lights had very special characteristics.
Those three kinds of light have almost become tangible existences and are not as simple as ordinary light energy.
“If we can artificially create that kind of light and plant it as a seed into the body of the trial-taker, then ordinary people can also practice the method of condensing light?” Li Xiu decided to start the research from the Ultimate Light in his own body.
For several days in a row, Li Xiu did not leave Yard No. 7. Apart from eating, drinking, defecating, and taking a drop of blood from the puppy, Li Xiu spent most of his time in a daze in his room.
Of course, he was not really in a daze, but was using his spiritual consciousness to observe the ultimate light in his body.
The Ultimate Light is different from Qi. Qi is just a creature that parasitizes in his body, while the Ultimate Light is a part of his body, as if it has been engraved into his DNA.
Just like the strength of ordinary people, where does the strength of a person come from? This is not the effect of a single organ.
The same is true for the Ultimate Light. As long as Li Xiu needs it, the power of the body can be generated naturally. It can be said that it is everywhere, and every cell has such power.
Since Li Xiu did not go out, Jing Li had never left Yard No. 7. Ever since Li Xiu gave him the Zi Bu Yu Strange Powers and Chaos Gods Technique, Jing Li almost never left the house, and he studied and practiced the Zi Bu Yu Strange Powers and Chaos Gods Technique every day.
Unfortunately, the results were very limited. According to the method of condensing light modified by Li Xiu, Jing Li still had no way to make the light stay in his body.
Even if the light energy absorbed by the symbiotic contract is injected into the body, the light energy will gradually dissipate.
His body is like a bamboo strip with holes all over it. The water inside will leak out sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.
Jing Li practiced again and again, and failed again and again. Although he was as firm as a rock and never thought of giving up, the results were not as expected.
After another failure, Jing Li was about to start over when the door was pushed open.
"Chief, why are you here? Is there any new revised version?" Jing Li asked.
"Yes, I have revised the "Zi Bu Yu Luanshen Jue" again. If nothing goes wrong, it should be successful this time." Li Xiu said as he looked at Jing Li.
"In that case, give me the new Ningguang method and I will start testing it now." Jing Li said.
"Don't be anxious. There is still a necessary step to be completed before that." Li Xiu looked at Jing Li's body and said with a smile.
Seeing Li Xiu's expression, Jing Li had a bad feeling in his heart and asked cautiously: "What necessary steps?"
"Come on, come on, sit down first." Li Xiu said, pointing at the stool in front of him.
Jing Li frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. He sat down as Li Xiu said, looked at Li Xiu and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Li Xiu suddenly stretched out a finger and pressed it on Jing Li's forehead. A transparent flame at the tip of his finger flickered like a lamp flame.
"I will plant a seed in your body, light a lamp and lay a foundation for you, open up a precedent that has never been seen before, and take a path that no one has ever walked before..."
