The noon sun shone directly on the large vat in the center of the courtyard, and the heat filled the courtyard, and the air was filled with the smell of anxiety.

A little boy in coarse linen clothes wiped sweat on his face with his sleeves, and while filling the firewood piled up beside him into the fire under the big iron pot in front of him, he was muttering!

"Dead old man, stinky old man, big liar, what a despicable ......" Li Qing cursed viciously in a voice that only he could hear while adding firewood and boiling water.

In fact, I really don't blame her for scolding, there were prerequisites for her to agree to be an apprentice before, and the old man also agreed to those requirements personally! As a result, by now, the old man had broken three of the four, and the only one left that had not been broken was that Li Qing was still an outer disciple.

My mind went back to the night of the apprenticeship half a month ago. After saying goodbye to the old man that day, Li Qing went directly back to the house to sleep, and just got up the next morning, thinking about going to the mountains to continue to get some firewood, but before he reached the mountains, he was directly blocked on the road by Shui Xin and Wang Ao, who happened to come.

"Li Qing, why don't you tell us when you worship Uncle Dao as a teacher. I heard early in the morning that Uncle Wudao, who never accepted apprentices, actually opened his mind to accept apprentices, and he was also an outer disciple who helped him work! What's the name of Qing, as soon as I heard that it was you, I hurried over! As soon as Shui Xin saw Li Qing, his small mouth was like a cannon.

"Early in the morning? Who said that? Li Qing was a little stunned for a moment, she really couldn't figure out why she just barely agreed last night and passed it out directly, could it be that she didn't see someone next to her at that time?

"Of course, it's Uncle Daoist! Before dawn today, Uncle Wu Dao went to the head of the house to raise the matter of accepting apprentices, and it has now been recorded. All the disciples of the Hundred Acupuncture Sect knew that the strange Daoist Master had accepted an outer disciple as an apprentice. You're famous now! Shui Xin responded happily, wondering why Li Qing had this expression.

It just doesn't make sense! The old man was not believed! Li Qing looked at the simple happiness on Shui Xin's face in front of him and the disapproving sympathy in Wang Ao's eyes, and deeply felt that she might be about to tragedy!

Without further ado, he said goodbye to the two of them and turned around and walked back in the direction of the Miscellaneous Servant Hall, ready to go to the old man to ask for clarification.

After searching every corner of the miscellaneous service hall and not seeing the old man, Li Qing's anger became bigger and bigger. Just as he was about to go out for a walk, the old man returned.

"Why don't you keep your word and let everyone know that I am your apprentice?" The moment he saw the old man, Li Qing shouted uncontrollably.

"I still want to ask you, I just told the head that I took in an apprentice, but I didn't say who it was! Now everyone knows it's you! Is that the apprentice you admit is you? I didn't say your name for an hour by the boss, and now it's all ruined! The old man looked angry, as if that were the case.

"You, you, you are so despicable, I won't be your apprentice anymore, you are such an untrustworthy master, don't do it!" Li Qingming knew that the old man was pretending, but when he thought of Shui Xin and Wang Ao who had just left, he really couldn't say anything he hadn't admitted. But let her continue to agree to be the old man's apprentice, but she can't!

"If you don't do it, it's all come to this point, how can you not do it? Your name has been registered, so how can you say that you will not do it? That's a big crime equivalent to convicting the teacher, and you will be severely punished or even killed, and I won't be able to save you at that time! The old man's face was serious, and there was a slight serious reproach in his tone, in that way, if Li Qing hadn't known him before, maybe he would have been moved by his attitude!

"You don't have to think about it if you don't become an apprentice, but don't worry, as long as you do your duty as an apprentice, the master will definitely not treat you badly! Now that you are at fault, the previous agreement will naturally not be counted! But in order to take care of your emotions, I agreed to the request you said to continue to be an outer disciple! Now go ahead and complete the tasks that were given to you before becoming a teacher. Li Qing was not given a chance to speak at all, and after the old man finished all the words in one go, he turned around and left directly, leaving only a back for Li Qing, who was gritting his teeth.

Li Qing looked at the big iron pot in front of him, Qing Yijue was running at full speed, forcefully took the iron pot off the stove, walked a few steps to a large vat, and poured the hot water in the pot directly into it.

Wiping his sweat, he took the pot and turned to walk to the front yard. It is estimated that two more pots of water will fill the vat just now. And the ten vats allocated by the old man were all full.

Put the cauldron back on the stove and boil it again.

In the past half a month, Li Qing has been chopping wood, fetching water and boiling water, but fortunately, the old man has not appeared since the last time he finished speaking, which has made Li Qing much more relaxed despite his physical fatigue.

You must know that in this society, especially among the sects, the teacher is the most respectful, so even though the old man is excessive, she really has no choice but to resist passively! Now that I think about it, maybe that stinky old man just grasped this point and deliberately set up a pit for her to jump! With her cultivation, even if she wants to, she won't have a chance. Now she can only accept the reality, and only hopes that one day the old man will be merciful and break away from the master-apprentice relationship with her, or one day she will be strong enough not to be afraid of the rules of this Laoshzi's sect.

The flames continued to burn, very strong, Li Qing held a bundle of firewood in one hand and threw it into the fire, and the flames rushed up and instantly wrapped the firewood together with her hand. Hurriedly let go of his hand and withdrew it from the fire. The hand was slightly red and hot, but it was not injured.

Looking at the red hand, Li Qing felt a little more comforted in his heart. She has done so much work these days, and she has nothing else to catch, and the biggest gains are only two.

One is that Qing Yijue's third weight is getting stronger and stronger, and now she goes to chop wood, and she can directly discount a tree of one person's thickness with one punch. If she were to hit a thigh-thick tree, it would take at least three trees to use up all of her aura. And holding this hundred-pound iron pot is as easy as holding a basin.

The second is a major discovery, that is, her body is not afraid of fire now, at least low-level fire is not afraid. This is also something she stumbled upon as well! I think it should be the effect of being burned by fire before, and then repaired with Qingyijue. Other than that, she really couldn't find any other explanation. Now she can take the pot off the fire without worrying about burns. However, for the time being, she could only use ordinary fire and the small flames generated by her own cultivation of the flame technique to test, and they could not really hurt her, but the flames generated by her cultivation would make her skin very red, very uncomfortable, and there was a burning sensation.

Retract your thoughts and look at the big iron pot in front of you!

As the heat of the iron pot rises, the water surface gradually becomes hot, but it will be some time before it boils. Continue to put the firewood into the fire little by little, waiting for the moment when the water boils.
