After Chang Yue got the seeds of the Sunrise Flower, he began to think about how to cultivate it.
The Sunflower is a sacred flower, so there are very few effective records of it in the world. Most of them are rumors, and there is no record of its cultivation method.
However, there is a record of the Rising Sun Flower in the "Blood Demon Alchemy Sutra". Although there are only a few words, it reveals very important information.
The seeds of the Sunrise Flower need the power of fire to germinate. Whether it is animal fire obtained through the cultivation of alien beasts or spiritual fire born between heaven and earth, it can help it germinate.
Ordinary fire is naturally not allowed.
The "Blood Demon Alchemy Sutra" only contains such a short paragraph about the Sunrise Flower, and this is not knowledge that the Blood Demon himself knows. He should have excerpted it from some ancient book.
Chang Yue does not have either beast fire or spiritual fire, and with the snow-filled environment of Mingyue City, it is impossible for spiritual fire and strange beasts that practice the power of fire to be born.
But when it comes to flames, Chang Yue thinks of one place, and that is the Tianya Hai Pavilion, the city that turned into a sea of fire due to the fragments of the blessed land.
There are rumors that there is a phoenix there. There is a high probability that there is no phoenix, but there are definitely many strange beasts that practice the power of fire.
Why not go there and have a look?
Before thinking about letting the Great Sun Rising Sun Flower germinate, Chang Yue now needs a flowerpot for growing the Great Sun Rising Sun Flower. Planting it directly in the Mirror of All Things will not work.
Because the sunrise flower needs to be taken out to bask in the sun regularly so that it can absorb enough power of the sun. Otherwise, even if it sprouts, it will not grow, let alone bloom.
Ordinary flowerpots cannot be used to grow the Sunflower with the power of the sun, otherwise it may be burned to ashes by the sprouted Sunflower.
What to use to make a flower pot? The material used to make the flower pot must have strong fire power, and it cannot be filled with ordinary soil.
By the way, why not ask Mr. Mo and Ding Ning. They are weapon refiners and they must know more about fire materials.
Just as she was told, Changyue collected the seeds of the Sunrise Flower, changed her clothes again, then opened the door and walked out.
Seeing Sang Ye practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, Chang Yue shouted to her: "Sang Ye, I'm going out for a trip. You stay here to look after the house. When my mother-in-law comes back, remember to tell her."
"Hey, I understand, miss!" Sang Ye responded.
"By the way, where's A Cai?" Chang Yue looked around the courtyard, but didn't see A Cai's figure.
"Oh, I asked him to pick up lunch. My mother-in-law is not here, and my cooking is not to your liking, so I asked him to go to the big kitchen to pick up lunch." Halfway through, Sang Ye said, "Acai should be here later. You’re just back, Miss, won’t you leave until you finish your lunch?”
Chang Yue waved her hands and said, "No, you and A Cai can eat it by yourself."
After saying that, Changyue used her beauty to transform her appearance into a white one, then jumped up and disappeared into the small courtyard.
Here, A Cai came out of the big kitchen with a food box. When he walked to a corner of the rockery in the garden, he was suddenly knocked down by a servant who rushed out from nowhere. The food box in his hand suddenly fell, and the food inside splashed out. On the ground, the bowl of soup was poured directly on the leading servant.
"Where did you come from, you brat? You're looking for death!"
The leading servant stretched out his hand to grab Ah Cai, but Ah Cai stretched out his right hand and pointed at the servant's arm. The servant's arm suddenly felt numb.
The servant laughed angrily, "Haha, you still have some skills, but you can actually hurt me! Boy, which room are you serving?"
The leading servant's name is Li Quanyong, and he is the great-nephew of Li Jiangang, the chief steward of the Li Mansion. He usually relies on his uncle's lofty status in the manor to show off his power among the many servants of the Li family.
Although the chief steward Li Jiangang is called a servant, he was actually released from the Li family's bond of betrayal long ago. However, his eldest brother's family is still the slaves of the Li family, and Li Quanyong is his eldest brother's grandson.
Ah Cai ignored Li Quanyong's words. It was the other party who suddenly appeared and knocked him down, and he was not wrong.
Seeing that A Cai didn't answer him, Li Quanyong became even more angry. When did any servant in this huge Li family dare to be so arrogant to him? Even the grandmother next to my wife had to be polite when seeing him.
"Okay, don't say anything, right? Today I will let you see the consequences of offending me, Li Quanyong!"
At this time, another servant next to him whispered in Li Quanyong's ear: "Brother Quan, this guy seems to be the boy in Miss Seventh's courtyard."
"Huh? From Miss Seventh?" Li Quanyong laughed loudly, "You are from Miss Seventh, how dare you be so arrogant in front of me? See if I don't let you know who can and cannot be offended in this house today. !”
Li Quanyong was used to being arrogant and domineering. Of course he didn't dare to make mistakes in front of his masters, but he would not be polite to his servants...especially the servants around Miss Seventh.
Miss Seven is a sick child, so what if she knows that one of her own is being bullied? It's not like she was being bullied. Even if Madam knew about it, she would definitely turn a blind eye.
As he spoke, Li Quanyong reached out to grab Ah Cai again. This time he used the martial arts "Eagle Claw Technique". He curled his fingers into a hook, and with his fingertips full of energy, he grabbed Ah Cai's neck.
The fault was not his own, and A Cai would not let others bully him. He used his body skills to avoid Li Quanyong's attack, and pointed out again, this time with all his strength.
Even though Ah Cai is young and has not been practicing for a long time, he has a medium-level foundation and has spent many months and resources to train him. His strength is actually stronger than Li Quanyong, who has been practicing for many years.
The fingering technique A Cai used was a martial art that Chang Yue had acquired from the White Lotus Cult disciples, called "White Bone Fingerprint". Although it was not very sophisticated, it was more tricky and difficult to deal with.
In just one round, Li Quanyong was defeated. His arm seemed to have been crippled under A Cai's finger, and he was completely unconscious. This made him feel very frightened, so he roared and shouted at other servants to attack A Cai. .
These servants were accustomed to obeying Li Quanyong's orders, so they naturally surrounded him without saying a word.
A Cai relied on her dexterous body skills and tricky bone fingerprints to get entangled among several servants. Every time she pointed out, one servant's arm drooped down.
A Cai's bone fingerprints haven't been fully practiced yet, so the servants' hands only lost consciousness temporarily, but it's not a serious problem.
It is said that if you practice this fingering technique to a great extent, you can instantly turn people into white bones with one finger, so it is called "Bone Fingerprint".
But the servants all thought that their arms were useless, so they attacked A Cai frantically. Although A Cai was strong, he could not defeat the four-handed man with two fists, and was soon pinned to the ground by the two servants.
At this time, a sudden roar came, "Stop, what are you doing!"
The servants followed the sound and saw that the master of the house was standing behind them. The group of people were frightened and immediately fell to their knees.
"Master!"
"I've met the head of the family!"
…
Li Changming strode forward with his servant. He looked at Li Quanyong who was kneeling on the ground and said with anger in his tone: "I want to see what will happen if I offend you in the Li Mansion."
Li Quanyong's face turned pale when he heard this, "Master, please forgive me, Master, please forgive me. I was just talking nonsense for a moment. This kid bumped into me. I was so angry that I talked nonsense!" He pointed at the words. A Cai, who was also kneeling aside, said.
"You're talking nonsense! It was obviously you who hit me!" Ah Cai defended.
"Do you think I didn't see anything?" Seeing that Li Quanyong dared to throw dirty water on others in front of him, Li Changming immediately said to the boy next to him, "I remember his name is Li Quanyong, right? He belongs to the housekeeper. Grandchildren? Go and call the butler."
When he heard that the master wanted to call his uncle and grandpa, Li Quanyong suddenly felt joyful in his heart. His uncle and grandpa would definitely intercede for him.
"Yes, Master!" The boy responded and ran away.
Li Changming ignored Li Quanyong. He looked at A Cai and asked, "Are you from Qimei's side?"
Ah Cai lowered his head and replied: "Master, this servant is the boy next to Miss Seven. My name is Xia Feicai. Young ladies usually call me Ah Cai."
Li Changming stared at Ah Cai and asked, "What's the name of the fingering technique you just used against them?"
Li Changming had actually arrived just now. He originally planned to show up immediately, but when he saw A Cai using the bone fingerprints, he stopped abruptly.
Although he didn't know what this move was called, he had clearly seen someone in Cangyue Pavilion know how to do it. The Li family cooperates closely with Cangyue Pavilion, and naturally they have fought against many martial artists from Cangyue Pavilion and learned martial arts.
It's just...why does Seventh Sister's servant use Cangyue Pavilion's martial arts?
In order to make sure that he saw it correctly, Li Changming hid in the dark and watched for a while. He was sure that he saw it correctly, that was the martial arts used by the Cang Yue Pavilion warriors.
Hearing Li Changming's question, Ah Cai was stunned, and at the same time his heart skipped a beat. He didn't dare to raise his head and answered hesitantly: "I... I don't know. I learned this from a book I picked up."
"Picked it up?" Li Changming raised his eyebrows, "You dare to practice the martial arts you picked up?"
"Yes...yes." A Cai replied, "This slave has just started practicing martial arts and doesn't understand anything."
The more you explain, the more suspicious it becomes!
Li Changming heard this and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he said: "Seventh sister should be here at this time. I haven't seen her for a long time. I plan to go see her. You can come with me."
"But...it's my slave's food." A Cai lowered her head.
"What's the point?" Li Changming said with a smile, and then he looked at his other servant and said, "A Ming, you go to the kitchen to pick up another lunch, and then send it to the seventh lady."
"Yes, Master!" The young man named A Ming responded respectfully and left.
A Cai:. . .
As soon as A Ming left here, another boy led the butler Li Jiang just arrived.
"Master!"
Li Jiangang bent down and bowed respectfully to Li Changming.
"Grandpa uncle, grandpa uncle, please save me and beg the master for me. That boy was the one who hit me first!" Seeing Li Jiangang, Li Quanyong immediately rushed over and hugged him as if he had seen a savior. Li Jiangang's legs.
Li Jiangang expressionlessly kicked Li Quanyong away. He cupped his hands to Li Changming and said, "Master, I have already heard what happened. It is a serious crime for Li Quanyong to bully others wantonly and use force at will in the house. Just demote him to the lowest level of domestic servant and punish him to plant snow lotus on the farm!"
It's bitterly cold outside, so growing snowdrops is no easy task.
Hearing Li Jiangang's words, Li Quanyong cried bitterly and rushed over again, "Uncle, you can't do this. I am your biological grandnephew, and I will take care of you until you die!"
The chief steward never married and therefore had no heirs.
Li Jiangang kicked him away again and said, "I don't need it. My surname is Li, and I am the housekeeper of the Li family. The Li family will take care of my affairs. It's not your turn!"
Li Changming smiled and said, "Then just do what Grandpa Jiangang said."
"Then I'll take my leave, and leave Li Quanyong to the old slave!"
"Okay, please give Grandpa Jiangang a trip."
"This is what an old slave should do!"
After speaking, Li Jiangang bowed to Li Changming again and left, dragging Li Quanyong away who was crying like a ghost.
"You guys are still not keeping up!" Li Jiangang yelled at Li Quanyong's thugs. They will all end up like Li Quanyong.
"yes!"
Several servants followed Li Jiangang dejectedly.
After everyone else had left, Li Changming looked at A Cai and said, "Let's go too."
"yes!"
Ah Cai got up from the ground, keeping his head down the whole time, not daring to look at Li Changming. It wasn't until he reached the door of Chang Yue's courtyard that he suddenly shouted, "Sister Sang Ye, the master of the house is here, prepare the tea service quickly." !”
The head of the house is here? Why did the head of the family come? Sang Ye in the courtyard was shocked when she heard this. She quickly put away the sword in her hand and ran into the house. But she felt something was wrong, so she quickly ran to the door again, adjusted her breathing before opening the door and said:
"Oh, the master of the house is here! What a coincidence, our young lady went out with her mother-in-law today! Is there something wrong with the master of the house? Please come in, please come in!"
As she spoke, she quietly introduced Li Changming into the courtyard.
The young lady went out, but the boy who went to pick up lunch didn't know?
suspicious! suspicious! suspicious!
As Li Changming walked into the yard, he said with a surprised look on his face: "Oh? Are you going out? Qimei is not in good health, why are you still going out in such a cold weather?"
"Our young lady's health is much better. The doctor said that she should go out for more walks so that her health can be better. Although the weather is cold today, she is still much better than usual!" Sang Ye said nonsensically, anyway, the doctor said I've actually said that before.
"That's it... Then I'll sit here for a while and wait for Qimei to come back." Li Changming walked into the house while observing the situation in the small courtyard.
Mulberry leaf:. . .
A Cai:. . .
On the other side, Chang Yue has successfully arrived at the black market.
As soon as she entered the black market, she heard someone talking.
"Hey, do you think Daqingshan has been weird in the past few days?"
"Really, right! Did you notice it too? I also find it strange that all the strange beasts in the mountains seem to have suddenly disappeared."
"Isn't this a good thing? Look at my harvest today. There are no strange beasts blocking the way. I picked a lot more medicinal materials!"
"When things go wrong, there must be a monster. I think something is wrong."
"I think so."
…
Hearing the comments from others, Chang Yue frowned unconsciously. Did something really happen in Daqingshan? No, she would have to ask Snow Jade Spider about the situation in the mountains later.
Thinking like this, Changyue quickened her pace and walked towards the direction of Fengshuang Weapon Shop.
