Feeding the Lilliputian Kingdom, the vicious female supporting role becomes the savior of the world

Chapter 269 Methods of Training Apprentices

Luo Mingyue looked at him dimly and said, "No, I like to root out the evil. Even if I let this little guy go now, he won't say anything, but he will definitely hate me in his heart... If I get into trouble one day, he will come out and give me a fatal blow, then I will die in humiliation..."

Huo Linglong said: "No, you are so kind and so powerful... If one day in the future, you really need help, I will swear to protect your safety. Anyone who wants to hurt you must step over my dead body!"

Huo Hetian held his forehead with his hand. He was a smart man. He had already understood Sect Master Luo's intention and knew that the Sect Master wanted to help tame the parrot. However, Huo Linglong didn't get to the point. She should have said, "I will restrain this cockatiel and never let it resent you or retaliate against you." Then, in order to survive, the cockatiel would definitely take the initiative to join Huo Linglong. However, Huo Linglong rolled up her sleeves and prepared to fight!
Luo Mingyue was also a little helpless.

Huo Linglong realized that she had said the wrong thing belatedly and was about to think of a way to make amends when she heard the cockatiel screaming, "Linglong girl, please make a contract with me and protect me. I am still young and don't want to die... Please give me a drop of your blood!"

The cockatiel was so anxious about being roasted that it had no time to think about the human's twists and turns, but it understood one thing, that is, Huo Linglong wanted to save it.

Huo Linglong cut her index finger.

The cockatiel flapped its wings and sucked Huo Linglong's blood into its mouth with its sharp beak. At the same time, it quickly used its spiritual power to outline a contract formation, offering its loyalty to Huo Linglong.

After doing all this, it shouted: "Huo Linglong, I am your bird now, save me!"

As he was talking, another point on the cockatiel's feathers was burned, and he cried out in pain.

Huo Linglong said quickly: "Master, please let it go. I will definitely discipline it well in the future..."

"Tsk, it looks like I won't be able to eat roasted parrot today," Luo Mingyue said with regret. She snapped her fingers and retracted the divine fire into her body. "Forget it, for your sake, I won't bother with it today."

"Thank you, Master!"

Huo Linglong thanked him sincerely.

The cockatiel flew to Huo Linglong's shoulder, muttering, "How terrible, how terrible..."

Huo Linglong reached out and stroked its feathers, soothing it: "Don't be afraid, Sect Master Luo is actually a kind person who is always willing to help others..."

The cockatiel said, "Yes, she is helpful, but I am not a person, I am a parrot."

Huo Linglong said: "What you said makes a lot of sense, I can't refute it..."

The cockatiel snorted softly and said, "Of course. I am older than you and have more experience than you. I have been to many places and met many people... In the future, you should listen to me more. I will not harm you."

Hearing this, Huo Hetian frowned, somewhat worried that his daughter would not be able to suppress it and would be suppressed by it instead.

Unexpectedly, the next second, a ray of white flames burned at Luo Mingyue's fingertips. She smiled and said, "It seems that you have a deep dissatisfaction with me. How about I send you to see the King of Hell?"

"I dare not, I dare not, I dare not!" The cockatiel quickly surrendered. It shrank into Huo Linglong's arms and hid its body, leaving a parrot pattern embroidered with needle and thread on Huo Linglong's clothes. People who didn't know would really think that this pattern was just an ordinary embroidery.

Huo Hetian said: "Master Luo, I will take you to the mine."

In fact, Luo Mingyue initially only wanted to send Huo Linglong home on the way, and had no real intention of taking over the mine. However, she had now helped Huo Linglong to contract a rare big monster. If she refused to accept anything, the Huo family's father and daughter would definitely feel guilty, so she nodded and followed Huo Hetian.

Huo Linglong said enthusiastically: "I'll go too!"

Huo Hetian said, "No, I have something to say to the Sect Master alone. I haven't settled accounts with you for running away from home this time. Go find your mother first and don't follow us."

"Okay..." Huo Linglong responded dejectedly, feeling very uneasy. Although her mother had a gentle personality, Huo Linglong was most afraid of her mother.

The cockatiel also didn't want Huo Linglong to stay with Luo Mingyue. It used the contract to whisper to Huo Linglong, "Don't go. Just stay in your room."

Huo Linglong could only watch her father and Luo Mingyue walk away.

Xiao Hansu turned into a little white fox and stayed in Luo Mingyue's arms.

The location of the mine was unexpected. It was actually in a painting. Huo Hetian dripped his blood on it, and a small vortex appeared on the painting.

Huo Hetian said: "As long as you touch the vortex with your finger, you can enter the world in the painting."

Luo Mingyue put her fingers on it and felt a strong suction coming from the painting. After a dizzying spin, she came to the world in the painting.

The spiritual energy here is much richer than that in the real world. It can be felt with every breath, making one feel refreshed.

Huo Hetian introduced: "This painting is a space magic weapon I got by chance. It occupies a larger area than the Hetian Building that my wife and I built. Moreover, ordinary storage space can only store various dead things, not living things. But the space in this painting can accommodate living things, so we chose to hide the mine in the painting. On the one hand, it is more concealed. My wife and I have jointly contracted this painting, and both of us can open it; on the other hand, hiding the mine can also prevent outsiders from coveting it." Luo Mingyue said: "This magic weapon is very good."

Huo Hetian said: "In addition to the ten mines, our sect's storehouse is also in this painting. I will open the storehouse in a while, and you can take whatever you like, even if you take the entire storehouse."

Luo Mingyue smiled and said, "I'm not that greedy."

Huo Hetian said: "No, this is not greed, you deserve it. Every one of my children is a priceless treasure to me. You saved Linglong's life, I must thank you."

“In addition,” Huo Hetian bowed to Luo Mingyue with a serious face, and then said: “You are a generous and kind strong man. Not only did you help my daughter find the cockatiel in her room, but you also helped my daughter tame the parrot... But I don’t have anything to show off. I only have these mines and the inventory in the warehouse. I hope you don’t mind...”

Luo Mingyue asked: "Are all the ten mines in your family spiritual stone mines?"

Huo Hetian said, "No, the three mines owned by my daughter Huo Linglong are all spiritual stone mines. As for the seven mines owned by my wife and I, two of them are rare green foam cloud mines and dew crystal martial stone mines, and three of them are planted with muxi grass, jiabanhua and kunjuan fruit trees."

"Among them, Muxi grass is the favorite spiritual grass of cattle and sheep. There are many cattle and sheep raised on this mountain. Their flesh and blood are full of spiritual energy, the meat is delicious, and the wool is soft and warm. It can be sold to mortals; Jiabanhua is the favorite food of Jinrou pigs. Jinrou pigs are a kind of spiritual beast. There are many ways to cook their meat. Every time I kill a pig and cook meat, my children can eat two full bowls of rice..."

"As for this Kunjuan fruit tree, the fruit grown on it can be used for fishing. There is also a lake hidden in this painting. The fish in it are all spiritual fish. Not only do they have few bones, but the fish meat is also particularly fresh, fragrant and delicate..."

Huo Hetian couldn't help but say a few more words, because he was the one who took care of these mountains usually, so he knew the situation on the mountains best. The spirit beasts rarely got sick, and there was no need to arrange special people to take care of them. Anyway, no matter how much they ran around, they could not escape from this world in the painting, so they could be let loose. In addition, they had no natural enemies and reproduced very quickly. Huo Hetian didn't handle it in time before, and the whole mountain was eaten bare. Later, he would kill some cattle, sheep and spirit pigs regularly.

"As for the last two mountains, they are spiritual stone mines. Together with my daughter's three, there are five spiritual stone mines in total. You have also felt it. The spiritual energy in the air is very rich. Staying here, even if you do nothing, you can feel your body gradually being filled with spiritual energy..."

After listening, Luo Mingyue asked: "Master Huo, are you good at cooking?"

Huo Hetian said modestly: "It's okay. I often cook for my wife and children. Every time I see everyone eat up the food I made, I feel a sense of accomplishment... Sect Master Luo, why do you ask this? Do you also like cooking?"

Luo Mingyue said: "No, I love eating."

Huo Hetian laughed, "Master, you are really humorous. By the way, Linglong said that she would give you three spirit stone mines, but as a father, I also want to show my appreciation, so I will also give you three mines, a total of six mines... As for the other four, I can't give them to you, after all, I still have many disciples, and everyone needs to make a living... But you can move all the warehouses away."

Luo Mingyue went with him to take a look at the warehouse and found that it was filled with spirit stone minerals, various spirit herbs and flowers, elixirs and talismans. The storage capacity was very rich. It felt like it had taken at least a hundred years to have such an exaggerated savings. This warehouse was larger than the area of ​​ten mountains combined.

Luo Mingyue visited all ten mountains and finally stopped at the mountain full of muxi grass.

Huo Hetian asked, "Do you like this mountain? You can dig the whole mountain away, and I can also give you all the cattle and sheep raised on the mountain."

Luo Mingyue said: "No, I just want to find a cook and ask him to cook more dishes for me. Is there a good cook in your sect?"

Huo Hetian said, "I really haven't learned about this, because my wife and I take turns to cook at home. I don't know who in the sect is responsible for cooking for the disciples. Although I am the owner, I am only responsible for instructing the disciples in their cultivation, providing them with cultivation techniques, and maintaining order in the sect. When I have time, I have to patrol to see if there are any incidents of bullying men and women in the sect... By the way, Sect Master, are you in a hurry to leave soon? If you are not in a hurry, can we exchange experiences in training disciples? I feel like I have raised a group of money-eating beasts. At the beginning, I raised the disciples, but later, as the number of disciples increased, I found that I could not afford it, so I encouraged the disciples to support themselves."

Luo Mingyue discovered that although Huo Hetian looked dignified and introverted, he was actually very talkative. It seemed that Huo Linglong inherited this trait from him. Both father and daughter were very talkative and had active minds.

Luo Mingyue said: "I seldom come into contact with my disciples. In addition to supporting themselves, they also need to patrol the sect's territory and keep the sect clean and tidy."

Huo Hetian blinked, "Ah, are you talking about the direct disciples? Do they still have to work?"

Luo Mingyue said: "Yes, I only have disciples taught by my own hands. There are relatively few people in our sect, so I have to work hard for these disciples. In order to make them independent, I can only make them suffer mentally, physically and mentally, and even starve their bodies..."

Huo Hetian was shocked. He repeated the last dozen words Luo Mingyue said, "To make their minds suffer, their muscles and bones tired, their bodies hungry... So this is your secret to training your disciples? I have learned it. Starting tomorrow, I will try your method and strive to train my disciples into talents!"

"Ahem..." Hearing him being so serious, Luo Mingyue could only say, "Don't learn from me. I'm an incompetent master. I'm lazy and rarely teach my apprentices."

Huo Hetian said, "I understand. You are cultivating their independence. I think I worry too much sometimes. We and the disciples of Tianlou are divided into three levels: [Heaven], [Earth], and [Man]. The first type is the [Heaven] disciples, which are the disciples taught by my wife and I. These disciples are not only talented, but also have a high status in the sect. Every month, they don't need to do anything to receive spirit stones, elixirs, and talismans provided by the sect. They will also go out to complete tasks, and they will receive corresponding rewards after completing the tasks."

"As for the Earth-level disciples, they are the most numerous in the entire sect. The amount of spirit stones they can receive every month is very small, not enough for cultivation. Therefore, they need to work hard to earn money to support themselves. They set up stalls in the city, do hard labor, or work as drug testers, etc. They need to earn more spirit stones to support themselves."

"The last type is the "human" disciples. They don't have any spiritual roots and can't absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. They can only be ordinary people all their lives. They are the lowest level people in the sect."

"I heard that some powerful sects would drive away all the ordinary people in the sect, but I won't do that. I will also pay a sum of spirit stones to support these mortals... They can't absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stones, so they can only use the spirit stones as currency for transactions. I rarely get to know the lives of these disciples. Anyway, they can take the initiative to leave Hetian Tower at any time, but almost no one has left, which shows that life here is not bad."

Luo Mingyue disagreed, "You're making it too complicated. Why should the Earth-level disciples be so busy? Everyone in the sect should be busy. Why should the Heaven-level disciples be like termites, not having to do anything and enjoying themselves?"

Huo Hetian said: "Because they are talented..."

Luo Mingyue said: "You can't treat them differently, it's really unfair."
