Chapter 16: Settling In
Early the next morning, Xue Tingting took Yuehua to meet her mentor.
The Lingwang Courtyard covers an area of thousands of acres, like a turtle lying in the center of the Heavenly Spirit City, if you want to walk through the Lingwang Courtyard, it takes a day, and you may not be able to finish it. Yuehua followed Xue Tingting, passed through the towering buildings in the front row, and came to a wooden house with a small bridge and flowing water. The wooden house is not very big, one room, one pavilion, for one person to live in, not big or small.
The wooden house is very ordinary, but looking down, it makes Yuehua's eyes shine, this wooden house is not built on the land, but suspended on a small lake. Under the wooden house, the spiritual light flickered, reflecting on the surface of the lake, shimmering with sparkling waves. There was an old man in the wooden house, the old man had gray hair, his face was wrinkled, his hands were skinny, and only his eyes were as clear and transparent as a newborn baby.
When Yuehua's gaze fell on the old man, he felt a vast breath, enveloping his whole body, and a strong oppressive aura fell on his body like a mountain, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.
"Ting'er, take him back, he can't become a spirit!"
Yuehua was ten meters away, and she couldn't take a step forward for a long time. The old man's eyes as clear as a baby fell on him, and he said indifferently.
In this secluded small lake, the voice of the old man echoed for a long time.
Xue Tingting stood in place with a blank expression, her lips moved slightly, but she never dared to speak. She knew the temper of this mentor, and said that Yuehua could not become a spirit, so she would not take care of this matter again.
"Why?"
Yuehua took a deep breath, and those star-like eyes suddenly shot out a sword-like light, and then his right hand slammed into a fist, falling to the ground, shaking out a crack dozens of feet.
"Why do you conclude that I can't become a spirit in one sentence!"
Yuehua gritted her teeth and looked firmly into the old man's eyes.
The old man's face moved slightly, and then with a slight wave of his right hand, a huge spiritual power, with a gust of wind, swept Yuehua's body out of the three zhang.
"If you have a body of power, what is it, the energy in your body is too mixed, without any attributes, it does not belong to the scope of spiritual power at all, and you are destined to become a spiritual person."
The old man's indifferent voice, mixed with a strong spiritual power, shook Yuehua's expression in a trance.
"Ting'er take him back!"
The old man waved his hand, and suddenly the small wooden house above the lake suddenly burst out with a brilliant spiritual light, and then a hazy smoke rose, enveloping the entire wooden house, like a fairyland.
Xue Tingting bowed respectfully to the old man, and left this secluded lake with Yuehua.
"Brother Hua, don't be discouraged, Yu Liqi, who manages the back kitchen, entered the Lingwang Courtyard in the same batch as me, I used to live in the same room as her, I am more familiar with her, I asked him to arrange a position for you, so it is not a problem to live in the Lingwang Courtyard!"
On the way back, Xue Tingting saw the silent Yuehua and comforted softly.
Yuehua was silent at the moment, not because the old man said that he couldn't become a spirit, but because he was thinking about what his mother had told him before. The old man said that the energy in his body was mixed and did not belong to the scope of spiritual power, but his mother told him that the spiritual power in his body was sealed, and the energy he used now was the spiritual power left by his father, and it was obvious that as long as he found a way to break the seal, he could still become a spiritual master. And now his task is to find a way to break the seal.
Yuehua, who was thinking, heard Xue Tingting's comforting voice and nodded.
Before becoming a spirit person, you still have to find a career to settle down in the Spirit King Academy, and the position introduced by Xue Tingting is a good opportunity. In the back kitchen, you can choose to chop wood, on the one hand, to enhance your own strength, on the other hand, the back kitchen does not have a lot of contact with people, will not attract too many people's attention, before you become a spirit, it is safe enough.
Seeing Yuehua nodded, Xue Tingting did not take Yuehua back the same way, but led him to the back of the high-rise buildings of the Lingwang Courtyard, the low and low adobe houses crammed into a row.
Before I entered the row of adobe houses, I smelled the rich aroma of rice wafting from the row of adobe houses. Yuehua took a deep breath, although the aroma of this meal was less than half of the food cooked by her mother, it smelled comfortable.
Entering the adobe house, everyone was busy with their work in an orderly manner. Chopping vegetables, washing vegetables, serving dishes, no one noticed Yuehua and Xue Tingting coming in.
At this time, Xue Tingting took Yuehua to a girl with a delicate face and a fairly leisurely face. The girl's eyes are big and smart, her face is round, and her mouth is ruddy, and she looks like a well-behaved and cute little girl. It's very comfortable to look at.
When the girl saw Xue Tingting, she was stunned for a moment, but immediately showed a bright smile.
"Sister Tingting, why are you here, you don't notice in advance when you come, come on, come on, sit here, it's dirty here!"
The girl took Xue Tingting's hand and warmly pulled her to the next room to sit down.
"No, Xiaoqi, I'm here today to ask you for one thing, this is my cousin, he is new to the Spirit King Courtyard, and he doesn't have a skill yet, I want to arrange him in your back kitchen, do you think it's convenient?"
"It's convenient, it's convenient, we just don't have enough manpower here, Sister Ting really helped me a lot!"
Yu Liqi said with a smile on his face, obviously having great respect for Xue Tingting. Xue Ting also trusted Yu Liqi very much, and explained a few words in her ear, and Yu Liqi nodded again and again.
After greeting for a while, Yuehua understood that Xue Tingting was a very talented spirit in the Spirit King Academy, and her cultivation time was very precious, so she asked her to go and take care of her own affairs first.
After Xue Tingting left, at this time, Yu Liqi looked at Yuehua, looked up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and asked Yuehua what kind of work he liked to do.
Yuehua told him that he just wanted to chop wood. Yu Liqi also took good care of Yuehua, afraid that Yuehua would be too tired to chop firewood alone, so he arranged for someone to accompany him to chop together.
The stove in the Lingwang Courtyard is so big, and the firewood chopped by one person is enough to burn, and the firewood chopped by two people is very leisurely.
At the end of an hour, the chopped wood was piled up into a hill.
"Dude, take a break, don't work so hard, the firewood is enough to burn!"
The young man opposite Yuehua wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted to suggest to Yuehua. Yuehua raised her head, and at this time, her eyes fell on the young man opposite and took a closer look.
The young man has a round face, a slightly chubby body, a weak nose bridge, and a small figure, which looks very ordinary, but a pair of eyes are flashing, and he looks smarter.
"My name is Zhou Zhongjie!"
The boy reached out his hand in a friendly way and introduced it to Yuehua.
"Yuehua!"
Stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhou Zhongjie, Yuehua was slightly stunned, and a very strong force came from Zhou Zhongjie's hand, although this strength was very short, but it was not something that ordinary people could have.
This is just a woodcutter in the back kitchen, and he actually has such strength, and he is about to catch up with himself with strange energy.
