Li Ke’s grandfather and grandmother quickly came out when they heard the voice, and greeted Lin Qingyin and Jiang Wei warmly: “It’s Master Lin and Master Jiang, please come in, it’s warm inside the house.”

Lin Qingyin’s gaze swept across the faces of the two. Then she walked in one after the other with Jiang Wei. The Li family had already prepared hot water for the three of them to take a bath. They had to make several trips to get here, so taking a hot bath was the best way to relieve fatigue.

Li Ke’s mother greeted Lin Qingyin warmly: “We have a small hot spring in the backyard of our house. Bathing will make you feel comfortable. You can sit in it and you will feel better.”

Lin Qingyin has no obsession with taking a bath, what she liked here was the spiritual energy inside. Seeing that Li Ke’s family was strong and had no signs of hair loss, it can be said related to the long-term soaking in the warm water with spiritual energy.

There were two hot springs in the backyard. The Li family built two rooms to enclose the hot springs. Lin Qingyin chose the hot spring pool that was small enough for only one person to sit in it. Even though this pool was small, the spiritual energy contained in it was warmer and richer than that of the other one.

Sitting cross-legged in the hot spring pool and meditating, Lin Qingyin started cultivating and continuously absorbing the spiritual energy from the hot spring into the body, allowing the spiritual energy to flow inside her body, washing every tendon.

After staying in it for more than an hour, Lin Qingyin stood up from the hot spring pool. Her white and tender skin was steamed by the hot spring water and gave off a natural pink color, like a fairy who fell into the mortal world.

Jiang Wei was sitting and staring at the bonfire while waiting for Lin Qingyin. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he subconsciously turned his head and saw Lin Qingyin’s blushing face. He was stunned for a while. He has always known that the little master was good-looking, but after the bath, the little master’s beauty was indescribable.

Lin Qingyin patted Jiang Wei on the head: “What are you sitting there stupidly?”

“I’m waiting for the little master!” Jiang Wei quickly got up from the small wooden stool and handed the large towel in his hand to Lin Qingyin: “Little master, dry your hair. It’s cold here and it’s easy to get sick.”

Lin Qingyin didn’t pick up the towel, she dried the water vapor from her hair with spiritual energy, and smiled at Jiang Wei: “Is it time to eat?”

Jiang Wei: “…Yes!”

To entertain the distinguished guests, the Li family prepared all kinds of dishes. Despite the rough cooking techniques, the meat stewed in a large pot of firewood was fragrant and tender, with a unique flavor.

When they were full, it was time to talk about business.

Li Ke’s grandfather touched the cigarette bag on his waist, but thinking that his grandson said he couldn’t smoke in front of the master, he pulled back his hand and drank the tea in front of him.

“I invited the master to come here for my granddaughter Li Li.” Old man Li said with a sad expression on his granddaughter’s face: “I wonder if Li Ke has told the master that our family has been a ginseng picker for generations. Picking ginseng is very hard, so we all hope that our descendants can finish their studies and have comfortable jobs in the future. And don’t be like us relying on mountains and rivers. Li Ke and her sister Li Li are both good at studying, and they are among the best in their class. In our words, they are all university seedlings.”
