Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 3 Reborn
"Hey! Interesting!"

Steward Li looked Li Yunjing up and down.

This kid is quite handsome, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a wide mouth and straight nose, fair skin, a tall stature, and firm muscles. He has a good appearance.

"I just don't know if he's all show and no substance!"

The thought flashed through his mind, and Steward Li got off the carriage and told Li Yunjing to get down quickly.

Li Yunjing lifted the carriage curtain and jumped down from the carriage.

With my feet firmly planted on the ground, I felt incredibly grounded.

At this moment, Li Yunjing no longer felt the weakness of the previous night; he exuded the fierce aura of a martial artist.

"Not bad! You have some external martial arts skills! You've even developed a sense of qi and found the path to cultivation!"

Steward Li looked him up and down and nodded slightly.

Steward Li had a sharp eye; with just one glance, he figured out seven or eight parts of Li Yunjing's background.

The sound of "slap slap slap" rang out.

"Stop the car! Everyone, take a break here!"

Steward Li clapped his hands and gave a soft shout, his voice booming outwards.

"Xu..."

Upon hearing Steward Li's order, the coachman immediately reined in the horse, preventing it from moving forward.

The ten knights guarding the side pulled on the reins, and their horses came to a stop.

"There's a meadow over there, let's set up camp there."

Steward Li then pointed to the grass on the right side of the dirt road and gave instructions.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded, and the convoy stopped on a flat grassy area by the roadside, as instructed by Manager Li.

Some of the knights went to the third wagon to unload grain; some went to the distant woods to gather firewood; and others carried buckets in search of water...

These knights moved with practiced skill and swiftness, clearly demonstrating their extensive experience in wilderness survival.

"Go and help!"

Chief Steward Li pointed at Li Yunjing and gave the order.

There was not a trace of politeness in his words.

This kid saved his own life, but he also wasted a precious elixir.

It seems this kid can't repay the debt either, so it's better to have Li Yunjing do some work.

This made Steward Li feel a little better.

"Okay! I'll go right away!"

Li Yunjing responded happily, without showing any unusual expression.

Someone saved my life, what's wrong with doing some work for them?
Isn't this how it should be?
Besides, I'll be getting a meal from the Yu family later, so if I lend a hand and do some work, I can eat a little more.

Otherwise, Li Yunjing would feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Hey! This kid!"

Manager Li stood with his hands behind his back, watching Li Yunjing run to the campsite to help set up the cooking pot, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Some people moved tables and chairs down; some washed ingredients; and others prepared kitchen utensils...

With clear division of labor, everyone quickly completed all the preparations.

Before long, a knight returned, carrying several cleaned rabbits and grouse.

There are no mediocre people here, so these things can be prepared very quickly.

Li Yunjing followed orders and joined in, assisting from the sidelines.

Before long, all the ingredients were ready.

"Dingle! Dingle! Dingle!"

A fragrant breeze wafted by, and the clear sound of bells rang out.

Li Yunjing looked over and saw a sixteen-year-old girl skipping and hopping towards him.

The girl wore a white dress and had two small braids. Her delicate face still showed some childishness.

The little golden bell that jingled was hanging on the girl's belt.

"Alright! Leave this to me!"

The girl smiled and stretched out her fair little hand, picking up the kitchen knife.

With a series of "clank, clank, clank," the girl began chopping the cleaned rabbit and grouse on the cutting board. Her movements were extremely skilled; soon, the ingredients and seasonings were placed into the pot and stir-fried.

"Hey bro, who's this?"

Before long, a fragrant aroma wafted out. Li Yunjing approached a knight and asked him familiarly.

The knight frowned slightly, glanced at Li Yunjing, and said in a muffled voice, "Ling'er, the young lady's maid."

"Oh! This little girl seems to have some cultivation experience?"

Li Yunjing continued to ask.

The knight couldn't help but roll his eyes at Li Yunjing before turning and leaving.

This kid is really shameless, trying to trick me into revealing information.
Can you tell me that?
We, the Yu family knights, are very disciplined!

"Tsk tsk!"

Li Yunjing chuckled, showing no embarrassment at being rejected.

He looked down at a relatively flat stone next to him, bent his leg, and sat down with a thud.

At this time, since he had nothing to do, Li Yunjing naturally wouldn't pretend to be very busy.

He's such a genuine person!
"Strange! I was struck by lightning, slept all night, and somehow I feel even better than before?"

With a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, Li Yunjing gazed into the distance.

But his thoughts had already drifted off to who-knows-where.

"Is it because of that heart-protecting pill that Steward Li gave us?"

One thought after another kept surfacing in Li Yunjing's mind.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Li Yunjing was not someone who liked to owe favors to others.

Such kindness must be repaid.

But now he has nothing; even the clothes he's wearing belong to the Yu family.

How can we repay this debt?

"It's really unpleasant to feel indebted to someone!"

Li Yunjing muttered to himself.

At this moment, he was unaware that a tiny bead, as small as a speck of dust, had appeared in Li Yunjing's mind.

The bead emitted a deep blue light, with tiny rays of light constantly flickering.

These rays of light radiated continuously from Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness to all parts of his body.

The real reason he was able to be more energetic and physically stronger than before was because of this tiny bead.

Instead of that "heart-protecting pill".

"Hey kid, what are you doing?"

At that moment, light footsteps approached.

Li Yunjing recognized the voice; it was none other than Steward Li.

"Ah? Steward Li!"

Li Yunjing quickly stood up. At that moment, an enticing aroma wafted from the rising smoke.

"Is this stewed grouse?"

Li Yunjing's straight nose twitched slightly, making the fragrance even more enticing.

He swallowed hard, and Li Yunjing's stomach growled. Only then did he realize that he was a little hungry.

Last night I was struck by lightning, and my belongings were reduced to ashes. I had no money or food left.

Having not eaten for a day and a night, how could he resist such a delicious aroma?
"Kid, you'll have to wait a while if you want to eat!"

Steward Li looked at Li Yunjing with a half-smile and said, "Come here, come with me to thank Miss for saving your life!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing's expression hardened.

Finally, I'm about to meet the person in question!

"Ah."

Steward Li made a nasal sound and turned to stroll slowly ahead.

Li Yunjing followed obediently behind him, like a little follower.

After recovering, Li Yunjing's martial arts senses returned.
