The next day, early in the morning,
Jiang Liu went to the central courtyard to continue his cultivation. He saw that the women who had gotten up early were already cultivating on their own. After a while, more and more people arrived.
Jiang Liu watched them cultivate for a while but didn't say much. He told them to continue cultivating and let them cultivate on their own for a period of time to see if any of them had better talent before selecting them. As for the rest, he would see how things went later.
After practicing several times, Jiang Liu planned to boil the herbs he had previously collected into a medicinal soup for them to drink, hoping it would help them cultivate faster. He wanted to help as much as he could!
Anyway, I'm quite skilled at brewing medicine myself, so I'll just teach a few people how to brew it themselves later!
Jiang Liu looked at his Alchemy (Beginner 45/100) and smiled wryly. He had originally planned to earn money by helping others Alchemy! But he had neglected it until now!
Although Jiang Liu didn't say anything when he met Master Lin before, he would still help Master Lin achieve his grand ambition of dominating Cloud Sun City if given the chance!
Currently, the White Lotus Sect's strongest fighter in Cloud Sun City is Bai Xuan, a sixth-rank cultivator. Even if Seventh Grade came, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from Jiang Liu! It can be said that Jiang Liu is the strongest at the same rank.
Based on his current strength, he should be evenly matched with an eighth-rank martial artist! Therefore, once Jiang Liu enters the Seventh Grade, even if he can't defeat Rank 9 Martial Practitioner, he should still be able to survive!
However, we still need to hurry up and learn how to fly, otherwise, like before, others will be flying in the air while we can only stare helplessly!
This estimate will only be available in the county town. Once things stabilize here, we'll head to the county town! Jiang Liu has always kept in mind that only personal strength matters! Fortunately, he can still meditate and cultivate, so his cultivation progress hasn't been delayed much.
Just as Jiang Liu was brewing the medicinal soup.
More than forty miles away is Anyang County, where the powerful Hai Lineage resides. At this moment, the atmosphere in the Hai family's council hall is heavy.
The Grand Elder Hai of the Hai family slammed his hand on the table. "Patriarch, what's going on? He said he was accompanying his daughter-in-law back to her parents' home, and she's been gone for almost ten days! She hasn't returned yet! What kind of behavior is this?"
When it came to the matter of the patriarch accompanying his daughter-in-law home, the elders of the Hai family were speechless! After all, everyone knew that their patriarch and daughter-in-law had an unusual relationship, but if you do something, you don't have to spread it around!
Now he's actually accompanying his daughter-in-law back to her parents' home. Thinking about this, all the elders of the Hai family felt they had completely lost face!
At this moment, Hai Renhui, the Hai family's butler, whispered, "Actually, the head of the family didn't take the young mistress back to her parents' home!"
"What? Say that again!" the Hai family's Grand Elder Hai shouted sternly!
Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Hai Renhui had no choice but to say, "The head of the family didn't go back to his wife's parents' home with her at all. Instead, he went to Zengjue Temple. He said he would be back in a few days, but three days have passed and he still hasn't returned."
"At first, I thought the head of the family was having too much fun there and didn't want to come back, so he was just staying a few days. I didn't think much of it!"
The Grand Elder Hai of the Hai family asked anxiously, "And now? Have you sent anyone to look for them?"
"I was just about to send someone to look for them when the elders called a meeting. We haven't made any arrangements yet!" Hai Renhui said repeatedly.
"Then hurry up and go! What are you waiting for?" the Hai family's Grand Elder Hai roared!
"Yes! I'll send someone right away!" Hai Renhui replied, bowing respectfully.
Hai Renhui immediately sent someone to Zengjue Temple! But they waited until dark and no one returned. He panicked and rushed to report to the Lineage's Grand Elder Hai.
"Grand Elder Hai, something terrible has happened! I sent people to Zengjue Temple to find the family head, but they've all disappeared! What should we do?" Hai Renhui said urgently!
"Outrageous! Does this family head not want to continue as head? He's been out playing for so many days and still can't bear to come back! Go and notify the others to come to a meeting!" the Hai family's Grand Elder Hai roared.
"Yes!" Hai Renhui acted quickly, gathering everyone in no time! Then, the group sat in the council hall and discussed for a long time, deciding to go see the family head together tomorrow!
As night fell, in the Hai family patriarch's room, a pretty middle-aged woman dressed in jewels sat before her dressing table, gazing wistfully out the window. Her expression was as if she were waiting for her lover to make a secret rendezvous, but he was nowhere to be seen.
A moment later, a figure appeared furtively at the window. Seeing the window wide open, the figure looked around and then leaped into the room!
The lady of the Hai family immediately stuck her head out, looked around, and then closed the window with a smile!
The man who entered embraced the Hai family patriarch's wife tightly, saying, "Xiao Wan, I've missed you so much!"
Madam Hai, Xiao Wan, lightly slapped him, "You rascal, why are you so late tonight?"
Hai Renhui said, "It's all because of that good-for-nothing family head! I sent people to look for him today, but not only did they not return, they even detained the people I sent!"
"Isn't it better that good-for-nothing isn't coming back! He might as well just die out there!" Madam Hai chuckled and extinguished the candle.
Soon after, a sound like weeping or sobbing came from inside the room!
