Teaching Children Early

Li Yao's current level of magic is higher than before, and his progress in alchemy is even greater than his progress in spell interpretation.

He did indeed have a unique talent for alchemy.

As alchemy advances, Li Yao is able to create more and more alchemical items.

He now felt that the magical trinkets he had given away were no longer sufficient. Those trinkets were incredibly effective against ordinary people, and could even buy some time against low-level superhumans, but they were no longer enough against stronger superhumans.

Therefore, Li Yao plans to refine some more magical items.

He pondered for a while and thought "Balkumon's Soul Guardian" was a good idea.

This magical item, through the purification of the spirit, allows the spirit to overcome its weaknesses in the conventional sense and then seals it within the object, making it a magical item that protects its master.

The power of this magical artifact depends on the sealed wraiths. Coincidentally, there are still a large number of wraiths in the warp, so it shouldn't be a problem for Sauron to capture a batch and transform and baptize them.

besides,

Li Yao also wanted to create a magical item called "Sea of Fireflies".

The main material of this item is a magical creature called "Hellfire Crystal Insect". This creature has the ability to absorb any energy and multiply. Unless a special method is used, other attacks will not only fail to kill them, but will also promote their division and reproduction, eventually increasing in number. The evil power of the flames released by this fire worm is quite destructive to flesh and soul.

Because they reproduce rapidly by drawing upon the power of flesh and soul.

However, this kind of evil fire has almost no destructive power over ordinary substances.

These characteristics make this magical item a preferred piece of equipment for Novice Mage.

After setting the direction, Li Yao began to conduct experiments and production.

Balkumon's Soul Guardian are easy to deal with; there's no danger.

The refining of the Hellfire Crystal Insect required extreme caution, and Li Yao decided after some thought to wear Mage Armor when dealing with them! That very night,

Li Yao began to study the relevant steps and started preparing materials.

For the next two days, Li Yao immersed himself in the daily life of the monk, remaining silent and seemingly lost in thought.

That afternoon,

Chen Xi said to Li Yao, "Boss, could you please keep an eye on Xiao Sang? Xiaoxi and I are going to get some supplies."

Since Wei Dadong left, Chen Xi has been the only one busy with these trivial matters.

Li Yao nodded. "Okay."

Leave it to me! After Chen Xi and Lin Xiaoxi left, Xiao Sang obediently came to the fireplace.

Then the two of them were left staring at each other.

atmosphere...

It's a bit awkward.

Li Yao pursed his lips and asked, "So, what do you usually do for fun?"

Xiao Sang: "Sister Xiaoxi usually teaches me to recognize characters and read poems."

Oh ho?

Sure! Lin Xiaoxi seems like a rascal, but she's actually quite thoughtful.

Li Yao said, "It's good to learn to read and read poetry, especially our poems, they are all good things."

Looking at the world, there are almost no civilizations that can rival China in terms of literary heritage!

Chu Ci and Han Fu

Which of the Tang and Song poems isn't a classic with enduring charm that has been passed down to this day? Historians carved out the grand principles of history, and the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting embody the timeless elegance of the Han dynasty—each one, taken individually, is a subject of great scholarship!

These things are not merely passed down in a superficial form; their spiritual core has long been engraved in the blood of the Chinese people.

Li Yao was talking to Xiao Sang about the glory and greatness of the ancients...

Kids

All you need to do is tell him what is beautiful, what is ugly, what is good, and what is evil.

Children don't need to distinguish too many things in their world.

Only dirty adults would try to confuse right and wrong, black and white, and turn everything into the most comfortable gray.

Li Yao was lecturing Xiao Sang, Xiao Sang sat on the sofa next to him with her legs dangling in the air, her face full of seriousness.

She enjoys listening to these things—it makes her feel so relaxed! Li Yao felt a little proud seeing how attentively Xiao Sang was listening—look at that! Our Boss Li is not only good-looking and makes money, but he's also amazing at taking care of children! He was getting a little thirsty, so he picked up his thermos and took a sip. "What poems has your sister Xiaoxi taught you?"

Xiao Sang: "Pity the Farmers!"

The crisp, childlike voice was quite pleasant to listen to.

Li Yao laughed and said, "Then let me test you?"

Xiao Sang: "Okay, okay~"

Li Yao thought for a moment. The original poem about Pity the Farmers was in five-character lines of eight lines, but the most widely circulated version was actually the last four lines. So he said, "I'll say the first line, and you'll say the second. Listen carefully—'Hoeing the fields at noon...'"

Xiao Sang: "Sweat drips onto the soil beneath the crops~"

Li Yao: "Who knows what's on the plate?"

Xiao Sang's expression immediately changed, and mimicking Xiaoxi's usual brash manner, she exclaimed, "It's poisonous!!!"

Li Yao: "???"

What the heck?!

poisonous?

Who knew the food on his plate was poisoned? Li Yao was confused at the time, but when he remembered that Lin Xiaoxi had taught him this, he immediately understood.

Is this girl corrupting populism?! Li Yao's fists clenched so tightly they cracked; he was going to give Lin Xiaoxi a good whack on the head when she got back! Xiao Sang asked, bewildered, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

Li Yao corrected him, "Call me brother!"

Xiao Sang: "But Sister Xiaoxi said you're an uncle."

She only listens to Sister Xiaoxi! Li Yao: "..."

Xiao Sang swung her legs and asked, "Oh yeah, oh yeah, Sister Xiaoxi also said that the person who wrote 'Pity the Farmers ' was a big bad guy. She also said that 'hoeing the fields under the midday sun is so hard, and the sweat and water drip into the rice seedlings, so the food on the plate is poisoned.' But why would sweat and water make the food on the plate poisoned? Uncle, do you know?"

Li Yao: "..."

If you interpret it that way, then "sow one grain of millet in spring, reap ten thousand grains in autumn" becomes utterly filthy! Li Yao said sternly, "Children shouldn't ask so many questions, and besides, this poem isn't like that at all!"

He read the original text to Xiao Sang, and then translated it into plain language, but Xiao Sang didn't believe him! "Uncle is lying!"

Li Yao is on the verge of a breakdown...

Lin Xiaoxi, you just wait!

Xiao Sang ran to the bar to play, not wanting to pay attention to the bad uncle who had deceived her. Li Yao covered his face and sat on the Lazy King's Throne, his thoughts churning... He couldn't quite understand what a Gen like Lin Xiaoxi was thinking!

Is the generation gap between the post-90s generation and the post-00s generation really that big?

That shouldn't be happening!

An hour or two later, Chen Xi and Lin Xiaoxi returned with their purchases. Before they even entered the door, Lin Xiaoxi was already yelling, "Damn, Li Da Yao is so stingy! He still hasn't bought a car! Chen Xi, why don't you come with me? I'll buy you a car, bags, lipsticks, clothes—I'll buy you everything, okay? Look at that Li Big Hoof, he just lies around all day and never even changes his clothes! And he won't buy you anything!"

Chen Xi entered. "I'll buy it myself, and the shop owner even gave me a free gift!"

Li Yao: "..."

He sat inside the doorway, listening intently, and thought to himself, "This guy's pretty good at flirting, huh? What's up?"

Is this some kind of "plucking the stars and the moon" gift for my Chen Xi? When they came in...

Li Yao picked up the fire poker next to the fireplace and stood up. "Lin Xiaoxi, come here!"

Today I'll show you that I, Boss Li, am not only good at lying down.

They can even beat people up!

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxi put down her things, turned around, and left. "I think I forgot something outside..."
