A passerby in a horror movie

It took Uncle Nine almost half a year to break through the first level.

Wencai and Qiusheng are even more so. Qiusheng was a bit better off. It took him five or six years to break through to the first level. Although his cultivation level did not increase after that, he could still be considered a cultivator who had entered the path.

Wen Cai is different. Although he was taught by Uncle Jiu from a young age, it took him several years just to master the first chapter of spiritual cultivation.

He slowly worked his way up to the third chapter of the scripture, but he still hasn't broken through to the realm of refining essence into qi. He can only barely learn some minor spells and martial arts.

These two guys, one was adopted by Uncle Nine when he was a child, and the other has been cultivating with Uncle Nine for nearly ten years, and they are still such good-for-nothings.

Moreover, the two of them have become increasingly lazy and have no interest in continuing their cultivation. Uncle Nine has almost given up on training them now.

If Uncle Nine knew Li Haotian's cultivation speed, he would probably jump for joy.

However, Li Haotian had no intention of showing off. He thought he would tell Uncle Jiu after he broke through to the first level of Refining Essence into Qi.

We'll give him a surprise then.

After successfully entering the path, Li Haotian also gained his own magical power, allowing him to learn other techniques.

Uncle Nine's talisman-drawing skills are also exceptional, and Li Haotian really wants to learn them.

As for martial arts, Li Haotian didn't have high expectations. He just wanted to learn a few more moves to improve his physical skills. Practicing martial arts is different from cultivating magic. This kind of thing requires many years of training.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door; Wen Cai had come again that morning to wake Li Haotian up for breakfast.

Breakfast was quite lively, with Wencai, Qiusheng, Uncle Jiu, Master Simu, and Li Haotian all sitting together.

Because he had promised to guide Li Haotian for a few days, Master Simu did not leave last night.

Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng didn't cause any trouble because Li Haotian was at the mortuary, and they didn't joke about Master Simu's zombie either.

"Xiao Tian, ​​Wen Cai, you two come with me to the restaurant later to meet Master Ren. He's treating us to dinner and foreign tea."

Uncle Jiu rummaged through the pickled vegetables in his bowl and spoke to the two of them.

"Okay, okay, Master, I didn't get enough yesterday. Those egg tarts were so delicious, so sweet."

Wencai nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and said happily.

"Hmph, you better behave yourself then, don't embarrass yourself. Master Ren isn't as easy to talk to as your junior brother. If you embarrass your master, I won't let you off the hook."

Seeing Wencai's jubilant expression, Uncle Jiu scolded him with concern.

Wencai nodded obediently. He dared not disobey his master's wishes, otherwise he would definitely be beaten when he returned.

As for Qiu Sheng, although she envied Wen Cai for being able to freeload another meal, she had something to do with her aunt and couldn't be delayed, so she had to say goodbye first.

After finishing their meal, Li Haotian and Wen Cai followed Uncle Jiu out the door.

Having already eaten a foreign meal with Li Haotian, Uncle Jiu felt confident and unafraid of losing face. Therefore, he didn't have the idea of ​​asking Wen Cai to cover for him; on the contrary, he was quite confident.

Even Wen Cai, standing next to Li Haotian, walked with an air of great pride.

Uncle Nine and his apprentice were dressed in new clothes and looked very nice, which made the neighbors look at them very strangely.

"Hey, Wencai, why are you wearing new clothes today? What are you going to do? And who is that young master following your master?"

The fishmonger grabbed Wencai and loudly asked him.

"Master Ren invited my master to drink foreign tea, and following behind him were my fellow disciples who came to seek refuge with our master."

Wen Cai puffed out his chest and said with great pride.

"Go quickly, go quickly, hehe."

The fishmonger understood Wencai's boasting, but the neighbors didn't take it to heart.

Soon, the three arrived at the restaurant and were led by a waiter to the seats reserved by Master Ren.

"Oh, Uncle Jiu is here! Please have a seat."

Upon seeing Uncle Nine, Ren Fa immediately stood up and said with a smile.

Suddenly, he caught sight of Wen Cai and Li Haotian following behind Uncle Jiu.

His literary talent was one thing, but his eyes darted around, giving him the air of a poor, unsophisticated person.

However, Li Haotian was different. Not only was his clothing very novel, but he was also very good-looking, and his temperament was completely different from the other two.

Ren Fa's eyes darted around, and after Uncle Jiu sat down, he asked.

"Uncle Jiu, who are these two?"

Uncle Nine noticed that Master Ren's eyes were fixed on Li Haotian, and he knew in a flash that Master Ren had taken an interest in Li Haotian.

"This is my disciple Wencai, and next to him is my senior brother's disciple, Li Haotian, who came to me to learn the Tao."

Xiao Tian studied abroad and knows a lot about foreign customs and cultures. Didn't your daughter return from the provincial capital? Surely the two young people would have much in common. Why haven't I seen her?

Uncle Nine smiled and said to Master Ren, then looked at Li Haotian.

"Xiao Tian, ​​this is Master Ren."

"Hello, Mr. Ren, I am Li Haotian, you can call me Xiaotian."

Li Haotian stood up and replied politely.

"Oh, Mr. Li, how gratifying! I never knew you had studied abroad. You are truly a man of exceptional talent."

Mr. Ren did not act arrogantly and quickly responded.

Hearing from Uncle Jiu that Li Haotian had studied abroad, he assumed that his family was well-off and that he was also very handsome, which immediately sparked some interest in Master Ren.

However, being a businessman for many years, he didn't show his thoughts on his face, nor did he say much. Instead, he greeted the group.

"My girl, she just learned how to do makeup and she's already going around asking for favors. She's such a worry. Oh, look, here she is."

As soon as Mr. Ren finished speaking, they saw a girl wearing a hat slowly walking towards them.

"Dad~"

The girl shouted at Ren Fa.

"Quickly call him Uncle Nine."

Ren Fa introduced her to her daughter, Ren Tingting.

"Ninth Uncle."

Although Ren Tingting is proud, she is also very well-mannered and polite, and her demeanor is graceful and poised, clearly indicating that she is a young lady from a wealthy family.

When Wen Cai saw Ren Tingting, his eyes widened and he couldn't help but stand up.

However, Li Haotian reacted quickly, reaching out a hand and pressing him back into his seat.

Wen Cai was pressed down like that, and his mind came back to normal. He smiled awkwardly at Li Haotian.

"So this is Tingting! She's grown so much!"

Uncle Nine said with a chuckle.

"Yes, it's really big."

Although Wen Cai was pressed down by Li Haotian, his eyes were still fixed on Ren Tingting.

The shifty-eyed look made Ren Tingting very uncomfortable, so she twisted her body angrily.

What are you eating?

Ren Fa took the menu and then asked the group of people,

Ren Tingting said angrily:

"I want coffee."

Uncle Nine took the menu from the side and found that it was all in English, which he couldn't understand at all, making him feel a little embarrassed.

However, he had eaten foreign food yesterday, and he thought that ordering one or two dishes based on yesterday's menu wouldn't be embarrassing.
