I am a living immortal.

Su Mu twitched the corners of her mouth.

How could he not realize that Shen Qiu was still a naughty boy at his age? He was so careless that he scared the other person so much that he didn't faint.

Shen Qiu didn't know why, but he found the child pleasing to the eye, just like the brush he bought. He found the child pleasing to the eye, so he wanted to tease him.

The boy screamed for a long time and then came to his senses.

"You are lying. Besides, it's daytime now. There are no ghosts."

"Then you still ask."

The boy was speechless, his face flushed red with anger.

"Brother Shen, please stop teasing me. Look how angry I am." Su Mu stretched out a hand: "Here, have some candy."

Suddenly, his empty hands produced several colorful candies, including malt candies with various fruit flavors, which tasted similar to sorghum malt candies. Su Mu found them in a candy shop in Li'an. He thought they tasted good, so he bought some.

Sugar is a good thing.

The boy's eyes lit up when he saw the candy, and his eyes lit up even more when he saw how Su Mu made the candy.

"Amazing!!!"

He took the candy with admiration and said thank you.

"Did you see clearly how I transformed just now?" Su Mu asked with a smile.

"I didn't see it clearly, it was too fast." The boy tore off the candy wrapper, put it in his mouth, and carefully put the remaining few into his pocket, answering vaguely.

"But I know you took it out of your purse." The boy said firmly.

"Oh~ How did you know that?"

"Because of the feeling."

Su Mu and Shen Qiu looked at each other, both quite shocked. They could see that this child was born with supernatural powers, or possessed supernatural powers, but they didn't expect it to be in this aspect.

Who would think of taking something out of a purse? But the key point is that Su Mu took it out of the purse.

"Let me tell you, he's a freak just like you guys," echoed the old goat.

The boy looked at Su Mu and suddenly realized: "This monster is raised by you."

"It's him." Shen Qiu pointed at Su Mu.

"Child, what's your name? Where is your home? How many people are there in your family?" Shen Qiu asked.

Su Mu also has the ability to predict the future through feeling and intuition, and it is even stronger and more accurate.

But that was the ability he gained after connecting with the Bridge of Heaven and Earth and observing the veins of Heaven and Earth. Now it appeared in a child who had not practiced cultivation. It was normal for Shen Qiu to be very excited.

After all, he had seen Shen Qiu's ability. He could use the artistic conception of mountains, rivers and streams for his own benefit. To observe these vague and elusive ideas that ordinary people could observe, one needed more than just the senses. Shen Qiu had spent half his life on this, but this child was born with this ability.

"My name is Lin Yuan. I live in Pingjiaopo. There is no one at home. My mother died when I was very young. All I have is an old ox." Lin Yuan said this without any sadness. After all, no matter how sad he was, it was a few years ago. He had to live.

Actually, it wasn't that difficult. When I was a child, I could barely make ends meet with the money left by my mother.

Now he can also collect firewood and dig some herbs and wild delicacies to exchange for money, and he has no problem being self-sufficient.

The boy spoke the truth. After all, he was a poor man at home and no one cared about him.

"Such is your background. I just happen to be in need of an apprentice. Are you interested?" Shen Qiu asked.

Shen Qiu admired the method of fate and the way of doing things, so he asked about it. He said he was an apprentice, but in fact he was a disciple.

"Really!" Lin Yuan looked at Shen Qiu. This grandfather had just scared him, but he didn't expect that he was actually a good person. Moreover, both his intuition and his observation told him that the identities of these two people were not simple.

"Really, don't lie to you."

"Okay!" Lin Yuan agreed immediately. No matter if it was because they felt sorry for him or because they admired his talent, at least he could have enough food to eat.

"But, isn't it too far for an old ox like me..."

"Don't worry, I'll let my uncle teach you how to turn grass into grass. I guarantee that your cows can eat fresh grass wherever they are." Su Mu patted the old goat and winked at Lin Yuan.

“…Have you ever asked for my opinion?” There was resentment in the old goat’s calm eyes.

"Are you willing?" Su Mu asked sincerely.

The old goat looked at Su Mu, then looked at Lin Yuan's expectant eyes and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll do it reluctantly."

"Thank you." Lin Yuan hugged the old goat.

"That's settled then. Do you have anything else to pack?" Shen Qiu asked with a laugh.

"There are some."

"Let's go, Brother Su, are you going?" Shen Qiu asked.

"I can't. I'll come to have tea with you in a few days, and I'll teach you." The first sentence was said to Shen Qiu, and the second sentence was said to Lin Yuan.

"Okay, let's go first..." Shen Qiu took Lin Yuan's hand.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew and the leaves danced in the wind.

Shen Qiu, Lin Yuan and the old ox were nowhere to be seen.

Su Mu looked at the old goat, who seemed to be hungry, and asked, "How long will you eat before going back?"

"Right away." The old goat took the last bite of grass and looked at Su Mu.

Su Mu chuckled, sat cross-legged on the old goat's back, and disappeared into the clouds with a few steps.

He needed to digest the insights he gained from playing chess with Shen Qiu.

He had rested for a long time, and it was time to do some serious work. Next, he would have to go into seclusion for a short period of time, which could be as short as two or three days, or as long as one or two months.

The sun rises and the moon sets in the courtyard, but it is not stained with dust.

However, a major event happened in Li'an City. Shen Qiu, the Shen family, had a new apprentice.

Even though he was just doing some trivial things like grinding ink and spreading paper, it was shocking enough. Lin Yuan was like a sponge absorbing water in front of Shen Qiu, and even the picky Shen Qiu was amazed.

Shen Qiu did not only teach painting and calligraphy, he also taught all kinds of knowledge.

He entered the Tao through painting, and entered the Tao of Shen Qiu, not Lin Yuan. He understood the principle that those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die. He learned from me but could not be completely like me.

Painting is just an extension of Shen Qiudao, and for Lin Yuan this extension can be anything, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, swords, spears, the Four Books and Five Classics, or even a mouth.

First find the path you want, and then walk on it unswervingly.

So Shen Qiu taught everything.

He even showed Lin Yuan some sword skills.

Lin Yuan also learned quickly. He understood Shen Qiu's intention and was looking for a way that suited him among the various methods.

Life is fulfilling.

But the atmosphere in Li'an has become tense. Many new faces have come in the past few days, and the atmosphere has become a little strange. Even the street vendors can smell the danger.

It is rumored that the Heng family's convoy will pass by Li'an in a few days.

The blood in the martial arts world boiled when they heard it.

But if you really encounter the flashing of swords and the falling of heads, it is no joke. Even the storytellers in the teahouse have not talked about the martial arts world these days. It is very quiet.
