Chapter 164: This Is the Power of Knowledge!

At night.
The pure white moonlight sprinkled into the small courtyard, serene and calm.
The old peach tree in the small courtyard swayed its branches under the breeze at night. Each branch absorbed the essence of the moonlight, breathing in the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth.
Under the tree lay a furry fox.
The seven tails on the back of the little fox unfurled and moved with the wind, just like a white peac.o.c.k spreading its tail, similarly absorbing the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth and the energy in the moonlight.
A red bird with colorful feathers on its head stood on the parasol tree branch of the old peach tree and looked at them coldly.
In the inner room, Li Changgong had exhausted too much energy playing with the three girls and was so tired that he fell asleep on the bed.
Qi’er quietly crawled into Liu Changgong’s quilt, grabbed five pieces of Immortal Jade with each hand, and squeezed her pet.i.te body into Liu Changgong’s arms.
Under the moonlight, the ten pieces of Ancient Immortal Jade quickly overflowed with white mist-like Immortal Spirit Qi, which shrouded the entire room.
And the mist entered Liu Changgong’s body in the time that Liu Changgong took a breath.
Xia’er also crept into Liu Changgong’s quilt, wrapped her arms around Liu Changgong from behind, and held ten pieces of Immortal Jade in her hands.
Yu Hongye looked at the two women and laughed in her heart.
“In the future, when Young Master’s body recovers, you will know how powerful Young Master is.”
Yu Hongye had been doing that joyful thing with Liu Changgong for the past few days and nights. She felt that her body could not hold on any longer. Fortunately, Qi’er and Xia’er had joined her today, giving her some time to rest.
As Qi’er and Xia’er were spirit bodies, they did not need Immortal Jade, so they did that.
Immortal Jade was useful to Yu Hongye, so she did not give her Immortal Jade away. Instead, she kept it in her storage bracelet. In any case, Senior had plenty of Immortal Jade.
Yu Hongye looked at Liu Changgong’s handsome side profile and was very moved.
She looked at the bed.
There was another spot!
Yu Hongye took off her coat, leaving only her undergarment. She crawled into Liu Changgong’s quilt and hugged Liu Changgong’s legs into her arms…
The morning sun entered the room.
It was daybreak.
Liu Changgong opened his eyes and felt that his entire body was surrounded by b.a.l.l.s of softness, as if he was in cotton.
He turned his head to look.
Liu Changgong was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
Qi’er and Xia’er hugged him back and forth, and Yu Hongye hugged his legs.
Although it felt very comfortable, Liu Changgong felt a little suffocated.
He was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
However, he was also very gratified. The three women in front of him seemed to be very dependent on him.
With these three women, what more could a man ask for?
Liu Changgong could be considered to have fulfilled his wish as an otaku.
Looking at the spirit stones in Qi’er and Xia’er’s hands, Liu Changgong felt very gratified in his heart.
Qi’er and Xia’er’s apt.i.tude should be quite good. Ten spirit stones could be completely absorbed in one night!
Hongye should not be able to use the spirit stones for the time being, so she kept them in her storage bracelet.
However, at their rate of absorption, the four hundred spirit stones they had on hand could only last for less than a month.
It seemed that he had to seize the time to earn spirit stones for his three women!
Liu Changgong was full of ambition.
He made up his mind. Even if he had to disregard his image as a n.o.ble person and become mercenary, he had to gather enough spirit stones for Xia’er and Qi’er’s cultivation!
Liu Changgong gently broke free from the embrace of the three women, got out of bed, and walked out of the hut.
He felt refreshed.
The air in the mountain was very good.
Liu Changgong looked at the old peach tree.
He was very surprised.
A certain tsundere little bird on the old peach tree looked at him contemptuously again, as if he was an unfaithful man, and even drank the morning dew on the leaves proudly.
‘How strange, it can survive just by drinking dew.’
‘What a strange bird.’
Liu Changgong muttered in his heart, and then began to clean his body.
Last night, the three women seemed to have done something to him while he was sleeping…
Liu Changgong stood under the old peach tree, using the handkerchief given by the system to wash his face, and heard someone knocking on the door.
He went over to open the door and saw that it was Lou Hongzhi, that hothead.
“Senior.”
Because he was accepted as a student by Liu Changgong yesterday, Lou Hongzhi was so excited that he didn’t sleep last night.
Liu Changgong looked at him and smiled, “You came at the right time. Let’s have breakfast together. The cooking food in the mountains and fields is quite delicious.”
“Yes.”
Lou Hongzhi walked into the small courtyard and saw Liu Changgong go to the old peach tree to wash his face. He was very envious.
Senior Liu’s cultivation was very high, and the water on his face had a lot of Immortal Qi. The old peach tree was being watered by the water every day. No wonder it had embarked on the path of cultivation and became a tree spirit.
At the same time, Lou Hongzhi found that there seemed to be some traces of intercourse with women on Senior’s body.
As a sword cultivator, Lou Hongzhi only wanted to clear his mind. As a single man, he had been to many places where cultivators of the Central Plains had s.e.x, so he naturally recognized the traces.
Lou Hongzhi smiled knowingly and said in a low voice, “Senior is also a romantic scholar. That’s normal. If I were a woman, I would have pounced on such a peerless master like him. It seems that he had a marriage with the Young Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.”
After Liu Changgong washed his face, he turned around and glanced at Lou Hongzhi, saying, “What are you still standing there for? Chop wood and make a fire for me. The others haven’t woken up yet. I still need to wash up for a while.”
“Yes.”
Lou Hongzhi quickly nodded. He walked to the corner of the small courtyard, picked up the axe and a piece of wood, and seemed to be deep in thought.
Cultivators cultivated the Great Dao.
The Dao was natural!
It was natural.
‘Senior woke up early to wash up and asked me to chop wood and make a fire. He was completely like a mortal. He must be leading by example, teaching me to personally practice the Great Dao, doing everything by myself, and shaking off the dependence on spiritual power.’
‘Oh right, Senior wanted me to hone my swordsmanship.’
‘When one has mastered swordsmanship and reached the level of swordsmanship, one can turn any flower or leaf into a sword. Of course, one doesn’t need to use spiritual power!’
‘It must be so!’
Lou Hongzhi’s eyes lit up and he thought to himself, ‘Senior is indeed a peerless expert. Every word and action has a deep meaning.’
‘Without using any spiritual power, he treats himself as a mortal.’
‘Going back to the basics!’
Thinking of this, Lou Hongzhi’s att.i.tude became serious.
‘Senior told me to chop wood, so I will chop it to the best!’
Lou Hongzhi also sealed off his spiritual power and treated himself as a mortal, relying only on the strength of his physical body to chop wood seriously.
Just like the first time he practiced the sword, he also used the most ordinary iron sword to practice his basic skills.
Looking at the logs being chopped into neat logs under his axe, Lou Hongzhi felt the vibration of chopping wood.
Lou Hongzhi felt that he seemed to have caught a trace of the way of the sword, but it was not so clear.
No matter what, Lou Hongzhi finally understood Senior Liu’s good intentions.
Senior Liu was seriously teaching him the Way of the Sword!
The Way of the Sword was a more profound existence than swordsmanship.
The Way of the Sword could be said to be the Great Dao.
It was not limited to one move. No sword was better than a sword!
Liu Changgong looked at Lou Hongzhi who was concentrating on chopping wood, and a smile appeared on his face. He felt a little pleased with himself.
To ask a great cultivator in the Dharma Idol stage to chop wood for a batch of mortals, perhaps only he could do this.
This was the power of knowledge!
Liu Changgong recalled the words of his previous life.
Knowledge was power, and it would not change no matter where it was!
“It’s time to wake those three lazy b.u.g.g.e.rs up.”
Liu Changgong walked into the house and found that the three women had already woken up.
Xia’er had already hidden herself, and Qi’er and Yu Hongye were dressing up.
So he took some chestnut rice and prepared to cook some porridge to drink.
After he finished lighting the fire and washing the rice, he saw Lou Hongzhi looking at him with excitement and antic.i.p.ation.
“Senior, do you still have wood? I have chopped all the wood.”
“What?”
Liu Changgong was stunned.
“Senior, I have chopped all the wood.”
Liu Changgong turned his head to look.
d.a.m.n, Lou Hongzhi had probably chopped all the wood for him and the three girls to spend the winter.
Moreover, they were neatly arranged together, like a small mountain.
Every piece of wood was well-proportioned. Even the electric logging machine in his previous life could not achieve that effect.
As expected of a cultivator, his hands and feet were really nimble.
Liu Changgong looked at Lou Hongzhi’s unsatisfied expression and the corner of his mouth twitched.
“I know. I have enough firewood now. I will find more firewood for you to chop in the future.”
“Yes, Senior.”
Lou Hongzhi was a little disappointed.
He had a thought in his heart:
If he was allowed to chop a few hundred thousand pounds of firewood, he would be able to completely comprehend a corner of the Way of the Sword.
However, since the Senior had said so, it meant that he should not be impatient.
It seemed that cultivation had to be done step by step.
Haste makes waste.
After the porridge was prepared, it was served with side dishes as breakfast.
Lou Hongzhi began his first lesson.
