I am eight years old again, and I will never serve as a cauldron for the empress again.

The corpse collector's words suddenly echoed in Zhuang Zhou's mind.

"You can scheme, but don't treat others as fools!"

Suddenly looking back, Zhuang Zhou realized that the corpse collector's words were not a simple warning, but a reference!

"Come on, drink it. This is the Thousand Mile Incense just picked from Northern Xinjiang. It has a unique flavor and absorbs the essence of heaven and earth. One or two tea leaves. If you buy it from outside, you will need at least ten medium-grade spiritual stones! These years, my life Living a poor life, I am only willing to take a sip of this luxurious tea when someone comes!"

Li Haoran rambled on, as if an elder was reminiscing about the past.

He does not have the majesty of a city lord, nor does he have the domineering power of a powerful person in the Earthly Evil Realm.

However, the more Li Haoran behaved like this, the more troublesome Zhuang Zhou felt.

This Li Haoran doesn't play according to the routine!

If he was really trying to coerce and induce Zhuang Zhou, Zhuang Zhou would naturally have a way to put his interests on the table for negotiation.

He is still a hero in the northern city. For the prestige of the city lord's palace and for the majesty of Li Haoran, he, Li Haoran, cannot take action against Zhuang Zhou.

But Li Haoran just played the emotional card with Zhuang Zhou!

This made Zhuang Zhou quite passive.

Li Haoran is his father Zhuang Yan’s mentor.

He is also the guide of the bloodline.

real or fake?

Zhuang Zhou had no way of knowing.

As to whether he is good or bad with his father, he can only take his word for it.

"Try it, it's good tea!"

Li Haoran said to Zhuang Zhou.

Twice advised.

Zhuang Zhou couldn't refute Li Haoran's face.

He drank the tea in front of him in one gulp, and a faint refreshing breath surged up from his dantian and emerged in the divine sea.

Zhuang Zhou only felt that his spirit was refreshed, and the anxiety and fatigue caused by the calculations in the past few days disappeared instantly!

"This is……"

Zhuang Zhou looked at Li Haoran in surprise.

This tea is definitely no ordinary Thousand Miles of Tea.

"There are three types of Thousand Mile Incense, ten-year-old, hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old. The appearance of the three types of Thousand Mile Incense is not very different! But the effect of drinking it is amazing. There is a big difference. What is sold in the market is often ten-year-old Thousand Mile Incense, which has a pleasant aroma and can cleanse people's spiritual mind. But if you drink it regularly, you can feel the difference!"

"Although the ten-year-old Thousand Miles of Sage can refresh the mind and relax people, it only lasts for a moment like the spring breeze blowing on the face and everything revives!"

Li Haoran said lightly.

"If it is a century-old Thousand Mile Incense, it will give people a completely different feeling! Smelling the fragrance from thousands of miles away can cleanse the spirit, and it can retreat from the busyness of the human heart and wipe away the distracting thoughts of the world!"

"Century-old Thousand Miles of Thousandthousands of Years is the true sense of the word Thousand Miles of Thousandthickness. It is no longer a simple tea, but a great medicine for the spiritual world!"

Li Haoran explained lightly.

"Thousand-year-old Thousand Mile Incense is said to have more magical effects. It can soothe the mind and nourish the mind. It is said that drinking a cup of tea can refresh people's spirits, enlighten them from the ordinary world, bring happiness to the soul, and understand the Taoist principles!"

Li Haoran's words made Zhuang Zhou have a faint expectation for the thousand-year-old Qianli Xiang.

But the next moment.

Zhuang Zhou shook his head slightly and dismissed the thoughts in his mind.

"I didn't come here to have tea with you!"

Zhuang Zhou brought back the topic, but he was almost led astray by Li Haoran.

When negotiating between two parties, the most taboo thing is to be led into the other party's rhythm!

Li Haoran looked at Zhuang Zhou.

A small smile appeared on his lips.

"You are still a child after all, and you can't hold your breath anymore. If it were your father, he would never interrupt me!"

"Do you know why I want to take you to taste tea? To teach you the tea ceremony?"

Zhuang Zhou was silent.

This Li Haoran was going around and around playing riddles with him, which was the most annoying thing.

"The tea ceremony is also a way of spiritual practice!"

"This Thousand Miles of Flowers is essentially just a very ordinary tea! After ten years of wind and rain, it can be like the spring breeze blowing on your face. After a hundred years of practice, it can baptize your spirit. A thousand years of rain and dew can be like a magical elixir, opening up your mind and enlightening you!"

"But are you drinking the tea itself? If you brew the tea in water, it will still be there. What you drink is the water, which has melted the essence of the sun and moon and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that have been condensed for hundreds of years by Thousand Miles of Fragrance!"

Li Haoran's words made Zhuang Zhou realize something.

But after he thought about it for a moment, he felt that it was so cloudy and foggy that he couldn't grasp the key points.

"Master, please give me a clear explanation!"

Zhuang Zhou said modestly.

"Master? Haha. I don't deserve this title!"

"Do you know why I left Beitian College? Because I taught your father all my bloodline skills back then, but after he received my inheritance, he had differences with me! "

"Our differences grew bigger and bigger, and eventually everyone in Beitian College knew about the commotion. I left Beitian College in anger and became the lord of the North City! And not long after, your father's zodiac bloodline was studied Dacheng proves that I was the wrong party in the dispute back then!"

There was endless resentment in Li Haoran's words.

Even though times have changed, he is still brooding about what happened back then!

Zhuang Zhou couldn't answer what he said next. It turned out that his father was actually a traitor.

In this case, the way for him to have a relationship with Li Haoran by using his father's identity is basically cut off.

It’s true that my father doesn’t know how to be gentle, and he does things so absolutely that he doesn’t leave any way out for his son.

Zhuang Zhou cursed in his heart.

"Don't worry, the matter between me and your father has nothing to do with you! You are you, and your father is your father!"

"But now, don't you know what I mean by what I told you?"

Li Haoran's smile gradually faded.

Qian Lixiang's story is not that he deliberately wanted to pretend to be 13 with Zhuang Zhou or to show his poverty.

This is a consideration for Zhuang Zhou.

If Zhuang Zhou could understand it, it would prove that the boy was teachable and could at least become a chess piece on his chessboard.

If you don't understand, it proves that Zhuang Zhou is just a reckless man with no background and strength. He can't become a big man and can only act as an outcast.

Zhuang Zhou pondered for a moment.

"Although I don't understand what you mean by Qian Lixiang, I am half a spiritual planter and have some understanding of the spiritual plant lineage. There are two types of spiritual plants, one is spiritual grain and the other is spiritual medicine. But both spiritual grains and elixirs absorb the energy of cold and heat and transform it into their own breath. After taking it, they can provide practitioners with breaths of different attributes. For example, the Yanyang flower was born in a hot place and was exposed to the scorching sun for ten years. It’s just now ready to bloom! The effect of this Yanyang flower is to drive away the cold with its scorching power after being used as medicine!”

"But this scorching energy is not born by the Yanyang Flower itself, but it carries the scorching power between heaven and earth. It accumulates for ten years and is released in one day!"

Zhuang Zhou's words made Li Haoran nod slightly.

"What you said is almost the same as what I want to teach you!"

Li Haoran's expression softened. He was originally a general, and later served as a teacher in Beitian College.

In this life, when it comes to teaching subordinates and students, the most annoying thing is stupid people.

You may not have any talent in cultivation, but you cannot not understand what I say.

"But as the Lord of the City is such a profound person, what he wants to express is definitely not that simple!"

"These flowers and plants can become vessels that carry the breath of the five elements, so can humans too!"

Zhuang Zhou pondered and said in a profound tone.

When Li Haoran heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

what are you saying?

That’s what I mean!

But due to Zhuang Zhou's admiring eyes, he was embarrassed to say this.

Yes, I am a profound person.

Such superficial understanding is just superficial!
