When Li Xie thinks about his own situation, he always prepares for the worst. Li Baichuan secretly contacted the patriarch of the ant clan to pay tribute this time, Li Xie didn't know what it was for, but he had to plan for the worst.

And the worst plan is that Li Baichuan buys off the patriarch of the ant clan and lets the patriarch of the ant clan, who is a grandmaster, take action against him. For the patriarch of the ant clan, Li Xie did not dare to have the slightest contempt, this was one of the few grandmasters in this world.

It is impossible to be too cautious about dealing with the top figures of the world. Besides, how powerful is Li Xie at a master of the Grandmaster's level? There is no concrete concept yet.

Li Xie knew that Jing Yan might be a master of the Grandmaster, but Li Xie and Jing Yan practiced their hands, and it was impossible for Jing Yan to do his best, so how could Li Xie have a specific concept of the Grandmaster?

However, if you compare it with Hengyan, what Li Xie can think of is that the blood bar is scary, whether it is legal defense or physical defense, it is surprisingly high. I think that when Jue Yan was still stupid, he pulled Li Xie and jumped directly from the cliff behind Li Xie's house.

Li Xie finally pulled a large piece of cloth to cushion himself, but even this caused him to fall into internal injuries. Jue Yan just fell down directly, there was no shit, patted his ass and stood up and left.

Although it is not possible to infer how strong the grandmaster is from here, it is possible to know the whole picture at a glance. Let Li Xie know that a master of the level of a grandmaster is definitely not something he can match.

So to deal with such a person, Li Xie can be said to have taken out all his hole cards. The gunpowder and advanced trap technology in the previous life were all used by Li Xie, just to prevent the worst guess.

Of course, making such a thing Li Xie can't do it in public, but secretly in the room. In order not to let others speculate, even when taking saltpeter and sulfur, Li Xie took several more.

Looking at the finished product in his hand, Li Xie did not carefully put it away and hide it. Instead, he used a few pieces of oiled paper and said that he had picked me up and thrown me in a shady corner of the yard.

In order to hide people's eyes, Li Xie made a small basin of sugar water from the remaining saltpeter. Of course, this sweet water is relatively simple, with only red dates, white fungus and lotus seeds added.

But on such a hot day, even such a simple sugar water is attractive enough. So when Li Xie brought such a pot of things to the table, everyone didn't even eat the meal, and drank sugar water vigorously.

"Where's the ice, sir? In today's weather, even if there were ice cellars, I am afraid that they would have melted long ago. The few people who had drunk a stomach full of water did not eat, so they sat down at the table and chatted. After all, Huang Yu has been in this Luo Tianfu for several years, and he still has some knowledge.

However, in the eyes of the cicada, no, it should be said that in the eyes of more than half of the slaves, it is the insight of the earth leopard. As official dependents, they all know that even if it is hot for a month, there must be ice in the royal ice cellar.

However, the cicada clothes, who stayed by Li Xie's side all day, knew more clearly. Li Xie didn't come back with ice at all, this basin of ice water was something brought out by the adults of his own family after locking himself in his room and tinkering with it all morning.

Cicada Yi didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but she was also frightened by Li Xie's method. June day ice?

"This thing, it's simple, it's used...... I did it myself. Li Xie originally wanted to explain the method casually, but he stopped him in time.

Huang Yu is a person who is studying at the Hanlin Academy, if he has never seen such a method in this capital, it means that no one has discovered that saltpeter can make ice in this era, so this is still a big business opportunity.

Li Xie, who suddenly woke up in the middle of speaking, turned a corner at a critical moment. Saltpeter ice making seems to consume a lot of saltpeter, but Li Xie knows that after this saltpeter is dissolved into water, it can also be taken out by evaporation and crystallization.

In other words, it can be used repeatedly, and if there are enough people and space, the cost of making ice is very low. But in the summer, ice is very popular.

Don't say much, a bowl of rock sugar water can be sold for five cents, and the permanent population of the entire Luotian Mansion can definitely afford it. A bowl of five cents, Luo Tianfu counted more than 3 million permanent residents last year. Each person drinks a bowl of sugar water a month, and Li Xie can receive more than 150 taels of gold a month.

Besides, if you really like drinking sugar water, you can't just drink that bowl a month. So if this business is done, in one summer, Li Xie can earn money from the treasury.

"Brother Su, you said that if this thing costs five cents a bowl, does anyone want it?"

"Needless to say, let alone five cents, even if it is doubled, there must be a lot of people who want ten cents." Su Ci had been walking around Luotian Mansion for more than a month, and he deeply understood how rich the people in this city were.

"Okay, then we'll make a lot of money for him." A dangerous smile hung on the corner of Li Xie's mouth, and he leaned over and whispered in Su Ci's ear......

In the evening, Li Xie made a large pot of sugar water at the request of Lu Xiaomei. After dinner, I came to Linghua's yard to keep vigil as usual, but this time, Cicada Yi was already prepared.

She deliberately wore a sachet made by herself to repel mosquitoes, and she didn't fight mosquitoes all night, and Cicada Yi finally noticed why her adults could sit here so calmly and read leisurely without fear of mosquitoes.

It was precisely because of these notices that Cicada Yi, who had a bit of family background, was completely shocked: "How old are you this year, my lord?" The startled cicada clothes didn't care about the difference between dignity and inferiority, so he grabbed Li Xie's arm and asked.

"I'll be 17 years old in a few months!" Li Xie glanced at the hand on his arm very calmly.

"Sixteen years old...... Master ......" Cicada Yi muttered to herself.

Li Xie ignored the stupid appearance of the cicada clothes, and continued to look at the book in his hand, and the time was so unconsciously two watches. After the lights in Linghua's room went out, Li Xie got up and gently tapped the book on Cicada Yi's head with the scrolled book.

"What's wrong? Sent a night of stupefiing! Seeing that Cicada Yi finally came back to his senses, Li Xie asked. Although he was questioning, after waking up the cicada clothes, Li Xie walked back by himself.

"Your Excellency, do you know? The former Taiyi Ling had a very proud doctrine that he believed that the essence of the human body, "qi", and "spirit", were originally complementary to each other. And God, the spirit of man, firmly believes that God is incomplete until the age of 18. Or rather, it's not long and complete. And for a cultivator to break through to the master level, he must integrate his essence and spirit. So in his doctrine, it is impossible for a master to appear before the age of 18......"

Cicada Yi said with great interest, and Li Xie looked at her and felt that she seemed to have a sense of pride in overturning Newton's laws. But at the same time, Li Xie was also interested in the doctrine that Cicada Yi said.

Cicada Yi felt that Li Xie became a master before he was seventeen years old, and he completely overthrew this doctrine. Li Xie knew that he might be an accident, he was already an adult in his previous life, and he might have the so-called god with him when he crossed over, so he could become a master at such a young age.

Li Xie was about to open his mouth to ask about the specific content of this doctrine, but the dark twenty blocked the way of the two: "The things you ordered us to get have been dug up, do you want to take a look?" ”

"Let's go!" Cicada clothes won't run away anyway, it's the same when you ask. Now the top priority is to see if the trap designed by Li Xie himself is whether it is valid or not.

I came to the side of this big pit and looked down, because it was night and this pit was nearly ten meters away, it was pitch black below, and I couldn't see anything.

Dark Twenty took out a fire fold from his arms and handed it to Li Xie, who blew it and threw it away.

The light of the fire fold lit up the pit, and along with the fall of the fire fold, this pit appeared in front of several people.
