Li De had discussed a big deal in the past two days - a well-known wealthy businessman in the magic city asked him to do the math for his newborn son.
According to his old rules, one day before fortune-telling, one needs to fast, bathe and sacrifice to heaven. He declined the kindness of the rich businessman to set up a separate courtyard for him to do the preparation work, and still made a special trip to a thatched hut where he hid in the mountains on the outskirts of the magic city.

In the past, Li De would come here specially every time before performing the big hexagram.
Just like when he was a registered disciple in Tianji Pavilion, he was fortunate enough to listen to what the old pavilion master said when he opened the altar to teach - it is against the sky to speculate on the secrets of the heavens, and you must be careful and properly prepared before performing the hexagrams, otherwise, if you are not careful, you will come back He himself even attracted punishment from the heavens, causing many disasters and consequences.
Li De kept these words of the old pavilion master in his heart at all times, no matter how big or small the fortune-telling was, he would fast and offer sacrifices to heaven. He always believed that this was the reason why he was able to be smooth and successful so far.
— until he met Ye Yu.
Thinking of the mysterious master he had recently worshiped, Li De couldn't help but sigh.
A mortal who seems to have no self-cultivation in his body can often speak wild words, even disregarding destiny.
What frustrates him the most is that even the old pavilion owner of the Tianji Pavilion treats Tianji with great care. To her, it is like a weed in her back garden. listen.
After observing for so long, he found that Ye Yu not only did not suffer from the wrath of heaven, but lived a comfortable life.
This made Li De's belief that he had built up for many years gradually shaken.
Thinking of this, Li De sighed again.
"You are young, why are you sighing?"
Before Li De finished his breath, a moderate voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"-who!?"
Li De jumped up from the futon in fright.
Then he saw clearly Ye Yu who was standing behind him generously and didn't seem to hide his intentions at all.
Ye Yu was frowning and looking at him dissatisfied.
"There is a saying that when Mount Tai collapses in the front, the color does not change, and the elk rises to the left without blinking, then you can control the advantages and disadvantages, and you can treat the enemy [1]. Although you are not required to do this immediately as a teacher, but You can't be frizzy and flustered like this."
"..."
After hearing Ye Yu's words, Li De silently swallowed a mouthful of old blood.
... It was really the first time in the past hundred years that he was taught a lesson by a girl who seemed to be no more than twenty years old.
But he couldn't help it. He made an oath to the Heavenly Dao back then, and now that the teacher apprentice invitations have been handed out, no matter how this little girl teaches him in the future, he will have to obey.
What's more, although Master Ye is not very old, his words seem to imply the way of heaven...
After Li De settled down, he couldn't help thinking about the sentence that Ye Yu blurted out before.
Ye Yu didn't give him much time to comprehend on his own. After she randomly found a rock to sit on and sat down, she explained her purpose of coming—
"If you saw it as a teacher that day... well, the divination is not bad, you should be a cultivator in the fairyland, and you have reached the cultivation level of the budding state—that is, equivalent to the embryonic state of the cultivator in the demon realm?"
"..."
During Ye Yu's speech, Li De couldn't care less about trying to figure out the truth, and his eyes widened as he looked at Ye Yu, as if he was looking at some strange beast that fell from the sky.
After a while, he murmured back to his senses—
"Master Ye is a mere mortal, how can he get a glimpse of so many secrets of the heavens, and do it easily, without worrying about the wrath of the heavens..."
Ye Yu smiled and waved his hands: "Don't brag, don't brag, as long as you know it in your heart."
Li De seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Ye Yu—
"Could it be that even my residence, which I have never told anyone about, was calculated by Ye Master that day?"
Ye Yu said "ah" confidently, "Not only where you live now, but I also know where you will live in 20 years from now—do you want me to plan the decoration layout for you first?"
Li De didn't understand some of the words, but he could hear the words "twenty years later". He hesitated for a while, but hurriedly bowed and stepped back.
"... I don't have the ability of Master Ye, I dare not guess the secrets,... I dare not dare."
Ye Yu pouted.
If she is so timid, how can she be her apprentice? Even if the apprenticeship fee is charged, it doesn't seem appropriate to turn your face...
Thinking of this, Ye Yu stopped talking nonsense: "Actually, as a teacher, I came here today to ask about something with you, my apprentice."
Li De's eyes widened: "Master Ye has the ability to measure the world, how can there be something that disciples know but Master Ye doesn't?"
"That makes sense." Ye Yu agreed without blushing, blinked, and then said with a smile, "However, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles—disciple, you must be a teacher with the knowledge of traveling the world. Incomparable."
Li De bowed: "Master Ye wants to hear anything, please feel free to speak."
Speaking of this, Ye Yu instinctively lowered his voice: "Have you ever heard of any spirit beasts that can grow from a juvenile state to an adult state in just one month?"
"..."
Li De frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head.
"Although there are often strange things in the world, everything must conform to the principles of heaven and earth. Even if it is a spirit beast, if it grows from a juvenile state to a mature state within a month, then-"
Before Li De finished speaking, he stopped himself first.
Seeing that his expression was not right, Ye Yu got up curiously and took two steps forward: "Why? Did such a thing happen?"
Li De's expression changed several times during this time, and in the end he himself looked at Ye Yu with hesitant eyes:
"I've never heard of such a thing in a spirit beast."
Ye Yu: "..."
"Then did you just choke on your own saliva?"
Li De shook his head with a serious expression: "Although I have never heard of spirit beasts, there have long been rumors in the two realms of immortals and demons. Some families with ancient bloodlines have descendants who have cultivated to the spirit transformation state of the fairy realm or the success of the demon realm." The animal world can directly transform into the spirit state of a strange beast in the dantian."
Ye Yu still doesn't understand: "Since those who can be cultivated have crossed the juvenile state or mature leaf state, and reached the corresponding beast state or spirit transformation state, the spirit beasts in the dantian should have already reached the mature state, so how can it be completed within a few days? Body shape change?"
Li De shook his head.
"Master Ye doesn't know something. After reaching the realm of becoming a beast or transforming into a spirit, once the cultivator loses his true energy and his cultivation level is damaged, the spirit beast formed by the true energy in his dantian will become weak."
"you mean… "
"If you can use the spiritual beast in the dantian to transform into form, then its situation will be affected by the degree of true energy in the dantian. Once you recover from an injury, it is indeed possible for the change Ye Master said to happen within a month."
"..."
Ye Yu groaned and swallowed.
At this time, she couldn't care less about the "Mount Tai collapsed before her face remained unchanged" she chanted when she appeared on the stage, and looked at Li De's pretty face turning pale—
"One more question..."
Seeing Ye Yu's reaction, Li De couldn't help becoming nervous.
"Master Ye, please speak."
"Spirit beasts...can understand human language?"
Li De didn't understand where the problem came from, but after thinking about it for a while, he still shook his head:
"There has never been such a record in the two realms of immortality and demons."
Ye Yu: "..."
This time, it seems to be really playing big.
The author has something to say: Ye Yu: Facts have proved that you should not bring things home casually.
Because until the end, you never know what it is.
