Zhou family.

Li sat on a wooden chair, deep in thought as she carefully selected the medicinal herbs, glancing towards the gate from time to time.

Zhou Shan paced back and forth in the main room, his brows furrowed.

"Husband, will Ling'er be alright?"

Li Ru asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, Old Xu said he went to have dinner with the young master of the He family, so everything should be fine!"

"Ling'er is probably bold because he grew up in the mountains. He is also very sensible. He must have been prepared before he took action!"

Zhou Shan comforted him.

Li Ru, still looking worried, said, "But this Li Laosan, Old Xu said he's at the ninth level of Qi Refining. How could Ling'er possibly stop him?"

A flash of anger crossed Zhou Shan's eyes. "Li Laosan is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, yet he actually attacked Ling'er and the others. This is outrageous!"

According to Xu Jiu.

My son has fought Li Laosan head-on before, and Li Laosan practices the strange Black Fiend Palm. If Ling'er is inexperienced and falls for it, inhaling the fiend poison, it will leave hidden dangers in the future, which would be troublesome!

This kind of evil poison is extremely damaging to the blood and qi; if you're not careful, it can be life-threatening!

Li Ru thought for a moment and said, "Husband, the Li family is very powerful, and we can't fight against them."

"How about we just cancel our business at Four Seasons Restaurant?"

"Anyway, we can earn spirit stones just by selling them casually, which is enough for us!"

Zhou Shan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "A business deal is a matter of mutual consent."

"Besides, this was something that Young Master He himself told us about!"

"Don't worry, if the Li family dares to attack us, I, Zhou Shan, am not someone to be trifled with!"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Although Zhou Shan doesn't have any great abilities, he'll fight anyone who dares to harm his child, even if it's the Heavenly King himself.

"But this time Yuan Hu was injured, who knows what will happen next time?" Li Ru still looked worried.

She only wanted to save some spirit stones for her son by selling spirit wine so that he could cultivate, get married, and have children in the future. She didn't want to bring unnecessary danger to her family because of this.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

At that moment, the door opened, and Zhou Ling walked in from outside.

His face was beaming with joy, and his steps were light and quick!
Her cheeks still had a faint blush, likely from drinking quite a bit of spirit wine.

With rosy lips and white teeth, she exudes a healthy and sunny aura.

Seeing Zhou Ling return home, Li Ru and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ling'er, are you alright?"

"I heard from Lao Xu that you got into a fight with the Li family."

Li Ru hurriedly pulled Zhou Ling in front of her and examined her carefully.

"Mother, I'm perfectly fine!"

Zhou Ling said with a smile.

Seeing her son's bright eyes and radiant spirit, Li Ru finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Does Ling'er experience any chest tightness or shortness of breath?"

Zhou Shan also hurriedly asked.

This Black Fiend Palm is no joke.

Zhou Ling shook his head, guessing that Xu Jiu had already informed his father and the others of the situation, and smiled, "I'm perfectly fine!"

Zhou Shan reached out and grasped Zhou Ling's wrist, feeling the smooth and vigorous flow of blood and energy within Zhou Ling's body, and only then did he feel relieved.

Zhou Ling poured another bowl of water and gulped down two big mouthfuls.

"Ling'er, I'm discussing this with your father. Business is booming right now, and I'm too busy to handle everything. How about we cancel our business at Four Seasons Restaurant?"

"If we run the small winery well in the future, the spirit stones we earn will be enough for us!"

After much deliberation, Li Ru still couldn't rest easy and decided to back down. Earning less was fine; the most important thing was for her family to be safe and sound together.

"Father, Mother, you don't need to worry about the Li family's affairs!"

"Brother He and I have already discussed it! The Li family will not provoke us anymore!"

Zhou Ling smiled and comforted her parents.

He knew in his heart that the Li family would most likely not let the matter rest.

But I don't want my parents to worry too much.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "In addition, Brother He also said that the other restaurants in the family can also purchase our spirit wine in the future."

“This number may be quite large; I think we can expand the scale of our distillery.”

"If we hire two more brewers, Mother can focus on the recipe and quality from now on, and won't have to work as hard as she does now!"

"There will still be time to cultivate."

"But the Li family isn't so easy to talk to!" Li Ru still looked worried.

"Mother, don't worry about that. I've already discussed it with Brother He. He'll have a 10% share in our distillery from now on!"

Seeing that his mother was still worried, Zhou Ling continued.

"Shares?" Li Ru and Zhou Shan were both stunned for a moment, looking at Zhou Ling without reacting.

"Well, it means that from now on, we'll give him 10% of the monthly profits from this distillery, which means we'll have a cooperative relationship!"

"But we don't need to use 10%. We can just give him some spirit wine later."

"So that's how it is!" Upon hearing Zhou Ling's analysis, Mr. and Mrs. Li immediately understood and nodded in unison.

With He Zijian joining, the Li family certainly wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

Li Ru also showed a happy expression.

To be honest, who would willingly give up a profit of ten or so spirit stones a day unless absolutely necessary?

"In a couple of days, once we get news from Brother He, we'll finalize this matter."

"However, according to Brother He, it's pretty much a 100% accurate estimate."

"He has a very high opinion of our winery's spirit wine!"

"So we'd better find a winemaker first."

"We also need to process some certificates and seals, which can be started now!"

Zhou Ling then discussed it with her parents.

"I know two familiar women who are winemakers; I can ask them to come and help."

"Let your father handle the certificate and seal matters."

Upon hearing that He Zijian had joined, Li Ru felt relieved, a smile appeared on her face, and her mind became more active.

Then, the family of three discussed expanding the distillery.

A sudden crisis seemed to come and go quickly.

However, Zhou Ling did not relax at all.

The bright moonlight streamed into the room through the window. Zhou Ling was standing in front of the wooden table, concentrating his divine sense to inscribe a soul imprint on the spiritual paper.

With the support of the talents [Divine Soul Like a Blade] and [Divine Sense Training], the divine sense descended rapidly.

One after another, soul paths appeared on the spirit paper, and as the nodes took shape, they eventually condensed into a profound soul imprint.

Subsequently, Zhou Ling activated his visualization technique, visualizing the imprint of the "Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique".

Once his consciousness was restored, he continued to draw the Soul Light Imprint of Power.

The Power-Controlling Soul Imprint is a defensive soul imprint, and it is easier to draw than the Sea of ​​Consciousness Sword Imprint.

The amount of soul power consumed was also less.

After drawing it a few times, Zhou Ling became quite proficient.

Three days later, the two black robes were finally successfully carved.

Fortunately, both black robes were successfully made on the first try.

As for the remaining black robe, it will belong to him from now on.

This can be considered another gain from drawing the Soul Imprint this time.

Zhou Ling pondered for a moment, then turned around and inscribed both soul imprints on it.

In addition, at the winery, Mother hired Chen Yan, a winemaker she had met at the Taoist temple.

She is about the same age as her mother.

She just looks a bit older than her mother.

According to her mother, Chen Yan used to be quite skilled at brewing wine.

She married a demon hunter, but her husband had an accident in the mountains a few years ago.

There are two children at home.

She had to work hard to support the family on her own, but her cultivation level was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Apart from brewing wine, she didn't have any other skills, so she did almost every kind of job.

They are also hardworking and resilient.

Li Ru promised to give her twelve spirit stones every month, and she rushed over immediately.

Several batches of ordinary spirit wine were brewed that day, and Li Ru and Zhou Shan were very satisfied after tasting them.

She was then officially hired to help out at the winery!

With her in charge of brewing ordinary spirit wine, Li Ru's days became much easier!
