night.
There is no moon tonight, and the three faint glows of blue, yellow and purple cover the sky, contrasting with the stars all over the sky.
It is such a unique world. Every star in the sky is so bright and brilliant. The starlight falling from the sky is like running water. No, it is much thicker and thicker than running water. It is as overwhelming as gruel. Drink it down.
On Lao Jingui's huge body, the green leaves inlaid with light gold are standing upright comfortably. The sweet-scented osmanthus hidden among the branches and leaves is spewing out the fragrant fragrance. The sky is full of stars, which now covers an area of over a thousand acres On the tree crown, it can be seen that the starlight is constantly being sucked into the body by Lao Jingui.
The entire Old Golden Osmanthus plant was emitting a bright light, with countless silvery light spots like fireflies slowly rotating around the Old Golden Osmanthus tree, like a silver tornado.
Most of Hancui Cliff is illuminated by Lao Jingui. The Li family manor near Lao Jingui doesn't even need to light a lamp. Even an old man with dim eyesight can see the fine print in the book clearly without the need for a lamp.
Li Ling'er held a large brass footbath filled with hot water in both hands and took small steps to Li Mofeng's study.
Putting down the footbath and punching Li Mofeng on the knee, Li Ling'er knelt on the ground and took off Li Mofeng's shoes and socks.
Li Mofeng reluctantly grabbed the thick pharmacopoeia in his hand, staring at the book with one eye, and looking sideways at his baby daughter with the other eye: "My dear...this foot-washing thing..."
Li Ling'er had a gloomy face and said coldly: "As for foot washing, Ling'er doesn't live at home, but dad hasn't washed his feet for several days!"
Li Mofeng's old face turned slightly red and he laughed a few times.
After scanning the pharmacopoeia for a few times, Li Mofeng put down the book, turned sideways, and allowed Li Ling'er to tear off his shoes and socks and put his feet into the footbath. The hot water poured from the alchemy furnace was so hot that it quickly made Li Mofeng's feet turn red.
He murmured: "There are no impurities in the body of a cultivator... What dad and you practice are ordinary exercises. The whole body is clean and dust-free. If you don't wash your feet for three to five days, what does it mean?"
Li Ling'er didn't say anything, just took out an old loofah bag and scrubbed Li Mofeng's feet vigorously. After practicing the Nine-Death Black Turtle Technique, Li Ling'er's hands were so strong that the loofah bag was rubbed to pieces in just three or two strokes. She turned her palm over, and a small wire brush used to brush the hair of Han Cui Ya's monster mount suddenly appeared.
Amidst the sound of "swish", Li Mofeng was grinned by Li Ling'er. He looked at Li Ling'er with a gloomy face and said with a dry smile: "Ling'er... you have something on your mind! Hey, dad knows, you are older, but you have taken a fancy to... "
Li Ling'er put down the wire brush and took out a small, magical knife that was usually used to cut the stems of certain hard medicinal materials. He was about to cut the calluses on Li Mofeng's heels!
"Well, is it for that old man Zhu Fuzi?" Li Mofeng changed his tone in a hurry. He looked at Li Ling'er with a serious face and said in a deep voice: "I really can't believe it, brilliant, so brilliant, awesome, so awesome!"
Li Ling'er put away the knife and wiped Li Mofeng's feet hard with a wire brush, just like how she and Chu Yaya brushed the fur of the demon leopard mount that Chu Yaya raised.
She raised her head, looked at Li Mofeng and said solemnly: "Dad, are you saying that the old thief is very smart? Very powerful? Humph, he is just shameless!"
He threw the wire brush into the footbath fiercely, and Li Ling'er's little face turned red with anger: "That old and shameless old thief, why did Master accept him as an elder? Back then, he colluded with several family elders and forced him to My father dedicated the ancestral alchemy book to the old thief, and forced Ling'er to become his teacher... That old thief has no shame!"
"Are you shameless?" Li Mofeng tangled his hands and fingers together. He leaned back, looked at the ceiling of the study room, and said to himself slowly: "Master Zhu is quite shameless... But, he doesn't care anymore. Shameless... After suffering such a big loss, he spent a lot of money, colluded with bandits, and assassinated the Heavenly Master. This is possible... "
Li Ling'er's expression changed slightly.
"To say that he can lose face, abandon his old face, take the initiative to worship at Hancui Cliff, swear such poisonous oaths and let others drive him away... Impossible, simply impossible!" Li Mofeng narrowed his eyes and said softly: " When dad talks about being powerful and brilliant, he is talking about your master and the heavenly master!"
"Huh?" Li Ling'er looked at Li Mofeng inexplicably: "Master is brilliant? How powerful? Why did he accept that old thief?"
Li Ling'er recalled the years when she was a disciple in Bailuogou, and recalled the sticky eyes of Master Zhu who were often behind her, casting his sticky eyes on her sensitive parts. She also recalled the flowers in Bailuogou that she bumped into several times. In the forest, under the verandah, and in the mountains and forests, Master Zhu and his senior sisters engaged in various obscene behaviors.
Those were truly a nightmare few years!
Li Ling'er has no doubt that if she hadn't been too young at that time, maybe she would have been reduced to a piece of tender meat in the mouth of the evil wolf for him to feast on like those senior sisters!
Li Ling'er only had disgust and fear towards Master Juan, and absolutely no feelings of master and disciple!
She deeply understood what kind of person Juan Fuzi was, so she couldn't understand why Chutian wanted to take him in.
"Ling'er, first of all, you have to understand that Master Zhu will definitely not be able to take the initiative to become a disciple of the Heavenly Master and let him be driven around." Li Mofeng looked at Li Ling'er gently and said softly: "Secondly, Dad has helped the Heavenly Master take care of things over the years. Regarding internal and external affairs, Dad knows exactly how many elixirs are sent out of Hancuiya every year, how many elixir furnaces and spiritual crystals are exchanged, and how much spare money the Heavenly Master probably has."
"How much spare money does Master have on hand? Dad, what do you care about Master spending money?" Li Ling'er rolled her eyes at Li Mofeng angrily.
Li Mofeng smiled and pointed out the window: "These 3,800 miles of territory are almost free of charge. But these two mountain protection formations that easily cover thousands of miles of territory are not cheap. In total, they are comparable to yours." The alchemy furnaces in the hands of more than 18,000 junior brothers are several times more expensive in total!"
Li Ling'er's eyes widened: "So expensive?"
Li Mofeng nodded, and he mused: "The Heavenly Master doesn't have much spare money, and all of it is used to buy alchemy furnaces and various raw materials for alchemy... Especially the hundreds of thousands of acres of medicinal fields that have been opened up in the past three years, how much is buried in them Materials that assist the growth of elixirs?”
"The Tianshi's spare money is not even enough to buy these two mountain-protecting formations. Where did he get the money?"
Li Mofeng smiled lightly: "That's why Dad said that the Heavenly Master is really powerful and clever... This money is probably due to Master Zhu and his filial piety... He took their money and made them sell themselves into slaves willingly. This method Ah...how awesome and brilliant!"
Stretching out his hand and gently patting the stunned Li Ling'er's head, Li Mofeng said softly: "It's so unpredictable, Ling'er."
"A heavenly master who can take out heavenly skills and easily give you and my father and daughter the ability to practice is unfathomable. You and I, father and daughter, just follow them sincerely... Mr. Zhu, it's not worth mentioning... Dad is still curious now, Mr. Zhu, Are you really still Master Zhu?"
