"It feels good, Uncle Fu. Your tea tastes so good. Although it is bitter in the mouth, the aftertaste is also strong. After drinking this cup, my whole body feels much clearer."
Li Mu drank tea in a very bold manner. The warm tea flowed down his throat and into his stomach, and beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
"Oh, who did you learn this way of drinking tea from? This is top-quality flower tea, and you are drinking it as plain water? Don't stare at me, I won't give you tea leaves."
The two have known each other for a long time. When they fought side by side in the Chong Mansion, Li Mu was still a newcomer. Uncle Fu took good care of him, which indirectly contributed to his marriage with Ruolan.
Moreover, as the first strong body-refining expert that Li Mu came into contact with, Fu Bo played a decisive role in his subsequent choice of dual cultivation of qi and body refining. It is not an exaggeration to say that Fu Bo was Li Mu's first teacher.
Nowadays, with the gradual expansion of Jinfuxuan's business territory and the change of Ruolan's identity, Uncle Fu rarely moves outside. He drinks tea and plays chess in this small building in Huiyue City every day, and occasionally gives guidance to Zhen Ni. These younger generations can be regarded as living a carefree life in their cultivation.
"By the way, you came back this time to find this girl Zhen Ni, right? What? You finally remembered that you are your apprentice? Are you planning to take up the responsibility as a master?"
After three rounds of tea, Uncle Fu was the first to speak. He was very fond of Zhen Ni, a kind-hearted, hard-working, and upright girl. Not only did she teach a lot about cultivation, but she also often replaced Li Mu, an "irresponsible" girl. Master provides help with cultivation resources.
However, Zhen Ni was born at the bottom of the class, and she was already grateful to be able to embark on the path to immortality as an ordinary restaurant maid. How could she accept funding from anyone other than Li Mu? In her opinion, this was like "cheating" under the guise of her master. There is no difference, it is something that will embarrass Li Mu.
So no matter how hard it was, Zhen Ni still chose to be self-reliant, which is why she frequently went out to collect bounty tasks.
Uncle Fu saw this in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. Now faced with Li Mu, the "culprit", he naturally would not miss the opportunity to help Zhen Ni "come forward", and he would scold her and cover her face.
Li Mu, who knew he was wrong, could only hold his nose and admit it. He sat upright and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, indicating that he knew he was wrong and would definitely change it in the future.
"Okay, you are the junior I value, and you are Ruolan's future husband. The old man, I said to you because I hope you won't be so strong, and then it will gradually expand. The relationship between people depends entirely on faith. Don't Make the people who really care about you sad.”
"Zhen Ni is a good seedling, with a very good temperament and talent. It's just that she started practicing too late. If she wants to catch up with others, she can only put in more effort and spend more resources. Now that she has worked hard, all she needs is With time and a lot of resource support, this shouldn’t be difficult for you.”
Uncle Fu's words made Li Mu fall into deep thought. He was responsible for resolving the crisis in the three realms, and at the same time, he had to take care of his own cultivation and improvement. It is conceivable that after the sect was established, a situation like Zhen Ni's would happen to other disciples. On the body.
How to build a complete system so that the disciples who join the sect can receive good training and gradually expand the scale of the sect is a problem that Li Mu, an "entrepreneur", has to face.
In his previous life, he was just an otaku who liked to stay in Internet cafes. He had no experience in management and operation. At this time, Uncle Fu used Zhen Ni's incident to wake him up, and he also understood that creating and operating an immortal cultivating sect was not as easy as imagined. Simple.
"It seems that we cannot be blindly optimistic. Once the sect is established, we must be responsible for the disciples who choose to believe in me. We must not let what happened to Zhen Ni happen again."
Understanding Uncle Fu's good intentions, Li Mu quickly stood up and bowed respectfully. At the same time, he also had a "little idea". As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, why not just invite Uncle Fu to the sect? As an elder, he would definitely be able to help him take good care of his young disciples.
Moreover, Uncle Fu was once a strong man in the Tribulation Realm. However, he was unable to condense the vitality of heaven and earth after being poisoned, so he turned to cultivation. Although he is older now, his ability to refine the internal organs is still extremely terrifying.
Li Mu now has massive resources and the Fuxi clan's treasure trove of knowledge.
If we can find a way to help Uncle Fu recover his strength or even reach a higher level, then he will be able to directly add a powerful person to the sect. No matter how you think about it, it is an extremely cost-effective choice.
"By the way, Uncle Fu, where is Zhenni now? I heard that she went on some bounty mission again? Do you know the specific location? I will go find her right now and I will never let her work so hard in the future."
Li Mu, who had a general direction in mind, did not hesitate and directly asked about the situation of his eldest disciple. He wanted Zhen Ni and Li Pan to meet up first, and then return to Qinglan City together to discuss it with the elders of the Li Family Yin Sect. The matter of establishing a sect.
"She should be near Wild Wolf Peak. The bounty mission she took this time was to exterminate the bandits in that area. But counting the days, she should have handed in the mission yesterday. Why haven't she come back yet?"
Although Uncle Fu cares about Zhen Ni very much, he does not know everything in detail. He is well aware of the temperament of young monks, and excessive discipline from the older generation will only be counterproductive.
Moreover, Zhen Ni has a gentle temperament and never causes trouble. She is also very cautious when going out. In addition, this bounty mission is only dealing with ordinary bandits. Although the number of the opponents is large, the existence of monks is not mentioned in the intelligence. , judging from Zhen Ni’s current cultivation level, there would be no difficulty at all, so she didn’t take it too seriously.
"It's okay, Uncle Fu. I'm going to take a look. If Zhen Ni gets into any trouble, I, as the master, should take responsibility."
The only thing he came to Huiyue City this time was to find Zhen Ni. Li Mu simply didn’t stay for long. After saying hello to Uncle Fu, he left the city and walked for seventy or eighty miles along the southbound trade road. , then entered the mountain range called Wild Wolf Peak.
Speaking of mountains, they are completely different from the continuous mountains that Li Mu has visited before. The highest altitude of the three or five hills is only a hundred feet, but the vegetation is indeed very lush, sparsely populated, and the terrain is rugged, which is very suitable for hiding. Over time, It has become a base for many bandits.
The target of the bounty mission that Zhen Ni took on this time was a group of gangsters called the "Golden Knife Gang" located on the Wild Wolf Peak.
The Golden Knife Gang appeared not long ago, that is, they only started to operate nearby in the past six months. With their large number of members, their behavior is very cruel. The caravans they target are basically wiped out, leaving no trace behind. Live mouth.
Moreover, this group of bandits is extremely cunning. The empire officials have organized several rectification operations in the Wild Wolf Peak area, but they have been miraculously evaded, so some businesses along the way have issued bounty missions.
And the person who took over the task this time was Li Mu's eldest disciple, Zhen Ni, who had now reached the level of Dan Jie.
