Today is the first day after the master left the dilapidated temple.
Li Xingtian slowly opened his eyes and got up from the simple wooden bed made of several pieces of wood.
The hall was almost occupied by the master and the senior sister, plus a large iron pot for cooking and alchemy. There was no enough space left for another bed, so Li Xingtian slept in the space behind the statue. However, the senior sister had already planned to build a small wooden house outside the dilapidated temple. After all, as the only woman, it was natural to have the difference between men and women. This matter had been approved by the master, and the senior sister started building it a few days ago, and the progress was quite fast. Because by then, he wouldn't have to continue sleeping in the inner room behind the statue. The reason why he disliked that place was that there was a hole in it. Mosquitoes often invaded at night, and some unknown insects would also come up and bite him. At this moment, Li Xingtian had not yet built his foundation and couldn't protect himself with spiritual energy, so the invasion of mosquitoes was extremely annoying. Therefore, Li Xingtian fully agreed with the senior sister's building of the small house and even helped her a lot. It was estimated that the small house would be built in another two or three days.
Yesterday's chicken... After seeing the tragic carcass of the chicken, the senior sister didn't eat a bite. However, she asked Li Xingtian to finish it. Li Xingtian could naturally understand this request. After all, it was the chicken caught by the senior sister, and he cooked it like that, so he should finish it. Originally, Li Xingtian thought that the chicken with a tragic death would be extremely unpalatable. But when he tasted it, the taste was just so-so. He didn't know if it was because he had experienced the extremely rough healing elixir made by the master. Li Xingtian just felt that the chicken was a bit fishy, a bit bland, and the meat was a bit tough. The rest of the taste was still very good, at least it was within the category of what people could eat. However, the senior sister's evaluation was not so good. She called this pot of chicken "dead chicken bath water". But the senior sister had already built her foundation and could go without eating, so Li Xingtian didn't have to worry about her going hungry. After all, he had promised the master to take good care of the senior sister, and Li Xingtian was not the kind of person who would break his promise. Although... it sounded a bit strange for a junior brother to take care of a senior sister.
Outside the door of the dilapidated temple, several fierce fluctuations of spiritual energy came. Li Xingtian walked out of the temple and looked at Li Yingling not far away. At this moment, she was holding a wooden sword and constantly controlling the power of her supernatural ability to bombard a big tree. The force was just right, and the tree fell down decisively along the flow of the sword energy. It had to be said that the senior sister's ambition was very strong. She was also cultivating her supernatural ability while building the house and cutting wood. And it seemed that she had made great progress... It had to be said that even in Zhongzhou, the senior sister's talent could be called a genius. When they first met, it was obvious that she hadn't mastered her supernatural ability. But it hadn't been long, and she could already use it as she wished. With such talent, it should be true that the master came from Zhongzhou... But he didn't know why the master was so poor. Could it be that the master stole out from a certain sect in Zhongzhou like himself? However, Li Xingtian didn't think much about it, because at this moment, this Tiandao League finally looked a bit like the sect he had imagined. Although there were only three people in this sect, including the master and the disciples.
The senior sister who had cut down the big tree seemed to notice Li Xingtian and also turned around, looking at Li Xingtian. Although in this life, Li Xingtian didn't trust women very much. Looking at the little senior sister whom the master had told him to take care of, Li Xingtian still showed a slightly difficult smile.

The First Day after the Master Left
Li Yingling got up early in the morning. Today's goal was to collect the wood for building the small house neatly. After all, as a young lady from a noble family, Li Yingling couldn't quite accept living under the same roof with two men. Even if there were wooden blocks to separate them, it would be okay to stay there occasionally in an emergency, but it was definitely not okay to live there every day. The master agreed to this condition very quickly. To be honest... when getting along with the master, Li Yingling didn't always feel that the young and handsome man in front of her was her master. Instead, he was more like a close friend. The master seldom put on an elder's appearance in front of her. Occasionally, when she was angry, the master would also admit his mistake to her. To be honest, as a young lady from a scholarly family, Li Yingling couldn't imagine that an elder would lower his head and admit his mistake to her. In the storybooks that Li Yingling had read, each of the masters described was extremely majestic, said what he said, and never smiled. He also had absolute control over his disciples. He always only gave orders and never told the reasons. In contrast, her own master sometimes looked like a child who hadn't grown up. Every time when it came to her problems, he would let her think about it carefully and then let her make the decision. The same was true for the "Water Heart Sutra". She didn't start cultivating it immediately at the beginning, and the master never expressed any dissatisfaction about it. In addition, Li Yingling thought that the master was a bit lazy. Although his cultivation level was unknown and he never revealed it to her, Li Yingling, who had built her foundation, could go without sleeping for a month and could recover enough energy by cultivating at night. The master was definitely much stronger than her. But she didn't know if it was because she followed the wrong master. Li Yingling also learned the master's bad habit and had to sleep meaninglessly every night. However, "meaningless" was defined by Li Yingling herself. The master called sleeping "nourishing the spirit" and had his own set of fallacies and heresies. Although this set of fallacies and heresies couldn't convince Li Yingling, unconsciously, she also began to learn to sleep according to the master's schedule. Maybe it was because she felt unbalanced when seeing the master sleeping soundly while she was still cultivating hard?
Many thoughts flashed through her mind. Li Yingling still knocked down the tree in front of her with one blow. Recently, she had become more and more proficient in mastering her supernatural ability. Sensing that there was a gaze coming from behind, Li Yingling turned around and saw her cheap junior brother. Although she didn't understand the reason why the master accepted him as a disciple, Li Yingling still respected the master's decision very much. However, when this cheap junior brother showed a slightly stupid smile to her, Li Yingling still really wanted to tell the master whether he could do a simple IQ test when accepting disciples next time. Looking at Li Xingtian's idiotic smile, Li Yingling still asked, "Junior brother... are you hungry?" "No... not hungry." Li Xingtian answered a bit embarrassedly.
After getting the answer, Li Yingling frowned slightly. When she was in the mortal world, she was also called a talented girl. She really hadn't come into contact with people with low IQ. She didn't know how to get along with a junior brother with insufficient IQ correctly. Especially after he had cultivated for so many days, he was still hovering around the fourth level of Qi refining. His talent was just so-so, and he didn't seem to be very diligent in cultivation. As a senior sister... since the master was not here, she should also supervise him well. "Junior brother, how is your internal injury? Has it recovered?" "It's almost recovered." "Okay! Since the master is not here, today the senior sister will supervise you to cultivate well." Li Yingling patted the fallen tree beside her, "You use your spiritual power to control carefully and turn this tree into wooden boards. This will greatly improve your control of spiritual power." Li Xingtian was a bit speechless. It was just hard work, and he still used control as an excuse. Li Xingtian once again remembered the master's exhortation - take good care of your senior sister! "Yes, senior sister."
After getting Li Xingtian's answer, Li Yingling didn't stay and quickly turned into a rainbow and flew away. Li Yingling had also read the cultivation method that Li Xingtian practiced, which required a lot of blood and food of monsters. A junior brother at the Qi refining level naturally couldn't collect so many blood and food of monsters. Then, as a senior sister, she naturally had to help the little junior brother. Since he helped her build the house, she would help him get some blood and food. It was also a fair deal. However...
Master, come back quickly!
The food cooked by the junior brother is really inedible!
He even drinks the "dead chicken bath water" with relish!
