After binding the investment system, I began to cultivate the empress

The initiation ceremony is over.

The emergence of two geniuses who reached the top of the Heavenly Stone Steps was undoubtedly unprecedented since the founding of the Qingyuan Sect.

The news spread like wildfire and quickly became known to everyone in the sect.

The main peak of Qingyuan Mountain, the Internal Affairs Hall.

"We have four more true disciples this year."

"I heard that he hasn't accepted a disciple in fifty years. Could it be that he's been so quiet that he's thinking of training a successor?"

"You weren't there, but that girl was incredibly beautiful... well, that's not the point. The main point is that she reached the top of the Heavenly Stairs in just a few dozen breaths! She's truly a monster."

"Isn't there another person who has reached the summit?"

"Uh, that person worshipped under Elder Shang Wu."

"hiss!"

Several inner disciples of the Internal Affairs Hall were drinking tea and discussing enthusiastically.

When they heard that someone had joined the Ninth Peak, they all retreated strategically, with strange expressions and a hint of pity in their eyes.

This kid is finished.

"Alas, if he wasn't in the same class as that girl, he might have been trained as a seed for the headmaster."

"He has good talent, but bad luck."

Someone sighed.

The other inner disciples nodded and agreed with him.

As they were talking, they suddenly put down their teacups, stood up straight, and shouted in a serious tone:

"Hello, Elder Qian."

The short and fat old man nodded:

"I'm bringing a few new disciples to pick up the things."

"Also, the first month's salary should be paid in advance, according to the standards set by each peak."

The short and fat old man is named Qian Bufan, the internal affairs elder of Qingyuan Sect.

He is one of the highest-ranking elders in the sect.

Because internal affairs also include finances.

"This is a favor, mainly because of Ying Bing..." Li Mo understood, but also saluted Qian Bufan:

"Thank you, elder."

"Oh, you don't have to thank me."

Qian Bufan turned sideways and did not accept the gift.

Li Mo was confused.

But he soon found out the reason.

The entry items were distributed quickly, including two sets of robes with cloud patterns made of exquisite materials and a waist token made of red copper. These were distributed uniformly by the sect.

There are some rules to follow when it comes to monthly payment.

"Murong Xiao, you will be staying at Divine Weapon Peak. You will receive 500 taels of moon silver, a Hundred Refinements Forging Hammer, and two bottles of Jade Bone Pills."

"Lin Ye, stay at Ruyi Peak, three hundred taels of monthly silver, and two bottles of Jingxin Pills."

Disciples from the Internal Affairs Hall brought in two trays.

Then he looked at Ying Bing again, his expression becoming much more respectful:

"Ying Bing, enter the main peak of Qingyuan, a thousand taels of monthly silver, a top-grade cold iron sword, two bottles of Pure Yang Pills, and ten plants of Cleansing Veins Grass..."

The internal affairs disciple spoke a long string of words in rapid succession.

Upon hearing this, the other disciples passing by all looked envious.

The treatment that this sect leader receives as his true disciple is enough to make one drool.

Not finished yet.

The disciple continued:

"The Sect Master has ordered that you may choose another villa as your residence, exclusively for the use of your junior sister. You may choose as you wish."

Private villa!

This is the treatment only given to deacons.

He is not just an ordinary deacon, he must have made contributions to the sect.

In addition to being an excellent environment for practicing martial arts, it is also a symbol of status.

"Qiu Shui Pavilion."

Ying Bing said without hesitation.

"Um, okay, I'll help you record it right away." The internal affairs disciple was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"And me?"

Li Mo pointed at himself, thinking he had been forgotten.

"Junior brother is from Qun Yu Peak. Well, your peak has prepared the true teachings..."

The internal affairs disciple took out a thick booklet and handed it over.

"Could it be some kind of secret manual of divine power? This is way too thick..."

Li Mo opened it doubtfully, and then saw the words written on it:

"In February of the 162nd year of the Jingtai reign, Qun Yufeng advanced 3000 taels of silver."

"In March of the 162nd year of the Jingtai reign, Qun Yufeng advanced 10 jars of apricot blossom wine."

"In September of the 164th year of the Jingtai reign, the beast cages at Zhenshou Peak were demolished, causing the exotic beasts to escape. A total of 52 exotic beasts of various kinds were lost."

.....

It was filled with bills and IOUs.

Li Mo: “?”

A bunch of question marks popped up in Xiao Li’s head.

"Did you take the wrong one?"

"Yes."

Elder Qian Bufan sighed and said, "The resources for each peak's true teachings are provided by each peak itself, not distributed uniformly by the sect."

"Qun Yu Peak does not provide any resources to true disciples."

"Not only that, Junior-Martial-Sister Shang Wu also advanced a lot of things to the Internal Affairs Palace. When you have time, take this bill to her and ask her to fill the gaps in her hunger as soon as possible."

"This thick book is full of bills?"

The corners of Xiao Li's mouth twitched slightly.

So everyone else gets the benefits, but I have to bear the debt?

Qian Bufan nodded and gave a friendly reminder, "By the way, there shouldn't be a place for you to live on Qunyu Peak. You'd better make plans early and build yourself a thatched cottage or something. You can ask the Internal Affairs Hall for the materials."

"Reed?"

Li Mo fell into deep thought.

He never imagined that after joining the Qingyuan Sect and becoming a true disciple, he would end up homeless.

I'm afraid it's a false rumor!

"Stay at my place."

Suddenly, Ying Bing opened her red lips.

Li Mo's body trembled, and he turned around in a daze, but he could not see any strange color on that cold face.

Is this still the Bingtuozi I know?

"Qiu Shui Pavilion has an excellent environment. You two can become a perfect couple." Qian Bufan stroked his belly, with a hint of an aunt's smile on his face.

Our Elder Qian is actually a koogologist.

"Uh, Elder Qian, you're overthinking it."

Li Mo shook his head.

"Ah? You two little guys, aren't you a couple?"

Old Qian was stunned.

I heard that the two were childhood sweethearts, entered the Qingyuan Sect together, and were both true disciples. Ying Bing even specifically said today that she wanted Li Mo to live with her, so they are now living together.

These days, it's hard to find ordinary people living in the same room.

"Forehead....."

Li Mo hasn't spoken yet.

Ying Bing's voice was heard beside him:

"No."

The tone was casual, but it gave people a chill.

"You misunderstood."

Li Mo waved his hands repeatedly.

Then neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little weird for a moment.

"I'm old and like to gossip. Please forgive me." Qian Bufan laughed, smacked his lips, and even looked a little disappointed.

Li Mo smiled bitterly and took his eyes off Ying Bing.

Is the ice cube beautiful?

It is not an exaggeration to describe her as stunningly beautiful.

But... it's too cold.

Cold both in character and in body.

Thinking of this, Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Rather than admiration, it would be more appropriate to say that he felt pity for this cold and innocent girl who was his childhood sweetheart.

As far as I can remember, she didn't have this kind of personality at first. It was only after something happened in her family that she became like this.

If he were in someone else's shoes, Li Mo would not be able to be optimistic and gentle.

opposite.

Ying Bing shook his head imperceptibly.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and the road of martial arts is long.

In her previous life, countless outstanding men pursued her.

But if she had not cut off all her emotions and concentrated her attention on swimming upstream in the long river of martial arts, she would not have been able to reach the top.

In this life, she also maintains a firm heart towards the Tao.

......

......

Qiu Shui Pavilion is located not far from Qun Yu Peak.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery.

The attic is three stories high and has an attached courtyard with a clear spring flowing in the middle. It is simple and elegant without losing its natural beauty, and stands out among other attics.

At this time, the door of Qiu Shui Pavilion was opened.

Two people walked in one after the other, and the young man was carrying a lot of bags.

"This house is well built."

Li Mo was very satisfied with his new living environment, but also felt a little emotional.

In the past, Ying Bing lived in Li's house and was a guest.

Now the situation is reversed.

He turned around and saw Ying Bing staring at the courtyard in a daze.

"It seems like no one has lived here for a long time. Let's clean it up first."

Li Mo looked around and said.

He looked around but couldn't find any cleaning tools.

Ying Bing suddenly said, "The broom is under the stone bench in Huapu."

Li Mo bent down and actually took out a broom.

"Go boil some hot water."

Ying Bing tied up her long black hair with a ribbon and spoke naturally.

It was as if she had lived here for a long time, and she seamlessly became the hostess of Qiu Shui Pavilion.

She didn't mean to.

But in the way he swept the floor, he showed a sense of composure from someone who had been in a superior position for a long time.

Well, I have become a hardworking babysitter.

Li Mo curled his lips and saluted: "I will obey the instructions of the superiors."

Although I know that Bingtuozi has always been like this, I still feel a little unwilling. What's going on?

Well, as a male with a strong sense of self-esteem, this is normal.

......

The steaming water was boiled and poured into a large mahogany barrel by Li Mo.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully investing in a bucket of bath water to help the investment target cleanse his body.]

[Investment feedback received: a gold bar.]

The gold bars rewarded by the system are of sufficient weight.

Li Mo was silent for a while, then shouted to the yard:

"One bucket of bath water isn't enough, I'll boil some more for you!"

......

......

into the night.

The next day.

Li Mo woke up as usual, looked at the frozen room next door, and went into the kitchen to make breakfast.

A while ago, he invested widely and received a lot of strange feedback, including a lot of food that could be eaten just by heating it up.

When the sun rose completely, Li Mo came out with soy milk and buns, and Bingtuozi was already sitting there.

Her lips were still bloodless, and her face was as white as snow.

Describing her as freezingly beautiful is the most appropriate.

Not long after breakfast, a loud shout came from outside:

"Master-nephew Ying Bing is here!"

Open the door.

The old man was sitting in an ancient and majestic carriage. The four eaves of the carriage were carved with four figures, which were exquisite and simple.

"I am the master's groom."

The old groom smiled and said, "I am following the Sect Master's orders to lead my nephew up the mountain. From now on, I will be the one to pick you up. There are many buildings on Qingyuan Peak, and I am afraid you will not be able to find the right place."

Wow, the suzerain’s carriage.

Li Moxin said no wonder it looked so grand.

Look, this is the real treatment.

He was afraid he would have to walk up the mountain.

"Thank you."

Ying Bing nodded, got in the car, and opened the car curtain again, saying:

"Li Mo, before you go to Qun Yu Peak, you can prepare a few pots of good wine."

Leaving these words behind, the carriage sped away.
