Yi Feng, Guan Yunpeng, and Han Tianque looked at each other, feeling nervous as they followed Yi Feng into the martial arts hall.
After entering the martial arts hall, Han Tianque's body suddenly shuddered. He grabbed Guan Yunpeng's arm and pulled: "Look, look quickly, Old Guan. Look at that umbrella!"
"Whew, and that painting too."
"Hiss, that hoe, that hoe!"
At this moment, Han Tianque and his apprentice Ye Bei were completely dumbfounded, because this was their first time entering the martial arts hall.
Yet everywhere they looked, there were treasures.
Seeing the master and apprentice's reactions, Guan Yunpeng couldn't help but roll his eyes at them.
He immediately stuck out his chest and said disdainfully: "You master and apprentice really are a match made in heaven. A couple of country bumpkins who have never seen the world. What's there to get so worked up about?"
"To be honest, I already saw all of the gentleman's things on my previous visit to the martial arts hall."
"You haven't seen the gentleman writing and painting yet. Just wait until you do, you'll be even more shocked."
"Hmph!"
Han Tianque and his apprentice's faces turned ugly as they let out a cold humph.
So what if you've seen it before, it's not like you have anything to do with it!
"Please sit."
When they arrived at the backyard, Yi Feng told them to sit down next to a tea set.
He then started to boil water and prepare tea.
"This tea?"
When the hot water soaked into the tea leaves, an aroma immediately began to diffuse all around, smelling refreshing and invigorating.
What shocked them even more was that this aroma actually stimulated the spiritual energy in their bodies, as if their cultivation had improved.
Could this gentleman be treating them to tea?
At this thought, they grew excited.
If just the aroma had such an effect, tasting the actual tea would surely bring unimaginable benefits!
However, what virtue or ability did they have to deserve tasting the tea personally prepared by this gentleman?
Just as they were thinking this, Yi Feng brought each of them a cup of tea and gently smiled, "Come, drink the tea."
The three were shocked.
They were extremely excited that their wishful thinking had come true.
Smelling the aroma from the cup, the three of them couldn't wait to lift the cups and drink it down in one gulp.
After that one mouthful, they clearly felt a tremendous power enter their bodies, clearing away impurities while improving their cultivation.
For a time, the three were too emotional to express their feelings in words.
Even though they knew drinking this tea would have great benefits, they never could have imagined the benefits would be so enormous!
After simple digestion, the three clearly felt their cultivation had reached a critical point and was about to break through soon.
"Drink slowly, there's no rush."
Seeing them down an entire cup in one go, Yi Feng couldn't help frowning slightly to remind them.
This was freshly boiled water, were they not worried about scalding their throats?
"Yes, yes."
The three nodded like pecking chickens.
They also suddenly realized their previous actions had been too rude, offending this gentleman.
Yet they were puzzled in their hearts.
They had clearly offended Yi Feng, so why were they still treated so well?
It was already an immense favor for Yi Feng to let them off this time. They were already extremely grateful, and certainly didn't dare expect to obtain this gentleman's blessings!
So at this moment, apart from joy, their hearts were filled with more apprehension.
After all, what virtue or ability did they have?
"Alright, I asked you to come today to discuss something."
Yi Feng also picked up a cup of tea, sipping it while he spoke.
The three immediately sat up straight.
Realizing serious talk was coming, they pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
Seeing their businesslike attitude, Yi Feng nodded satisfactorily. He then said, "Just now you said you were masons, and could gather quite a few people. As it happens, I have several houses that need building. So I'm thinking to contract them out to you, to get you to come help me build them. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, the three looked at each other.
Suddenly enlightened!
So this gentleman wanted them to handle some matters!
How could they not agree? Forget contracting houses, even if it was carrying manure here, they would be willing!
Moreover, they had already received blessings from Yi Feng. How could they dare not agree?
Thus, they began discussing the details with Yi Feng.
They didn't have the slightest objection to anything Yi Feng said.
"Excellent, settled a big deal and hired a construction team so cheaply. Saved a lot of money!" Yi Feng felt quite satisfied inwardly.
He was seeing this group more and more favorably.
"Why not stay for a meal? I happened to cook oxtail soup, more than I can eat myself. Let's supplement ourselves together!" Yi Feng said with a smile.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
