”It's fine, but Elder Xia has never accepted a disciple. From the looks of it, your disciple is definitely a dragon and phoenix amongst men. He has an extraordinary demeanor, which is why he was chosen by you. Hi, I'm Ji Yu, Elder Xia's housekeeper. I'm very happy to meet you.”

Ji Yu seemed to be a very gentleman and reliable person, and the old man's judgement of people was quite good.

”Hello, my name is Lin Ziyin. Please give me your guidance.”

The old man and Ji Yu exchanged a few more pleasantries before Ji Yu picked up a phone and hurriedly left. Before leaving, he handed the old man a key. ”Then I won't disturb you any longer. I still have some matters here, so I'll take my leave first!”

The old man waved his hand, signalling for him to leave. He then took the key and walked towards the door, ”Wa, master, this place of yours is a little …” ”Away with the vulgar!”

The old man tapped my head with two fingers and helplessly said, ”Little girl, I know what you want to say. How can this society do this job in a big city without any packaging?”

If I hadn't come here, I would have thought that the old man had been living in the temple all this time. However, he told me that it was only one of his' bases'.

It had to be said that the old geezer's base had satisfied the guesses of the ghost master of the world. First, he was rich. In this city, who knew how much it would cost to own a house with a garden?

2: Strange, a garden house with the European style retro style was actually decorated like an old society ancestral hall. Such a good area of the house was completely covered by black cloth. Besides opening the door, there was no other light source.

It was so eerie that one could tell at a glance that this was either a ghost house, or a place for a ghost master to live.

”Master, I really don't understand. Why are you decorating your house like this? This house was located in the north facing south. Without the cover of these black cloths, it would be hard to tell how bright it would be …

”Bright? Hehe, little girl, Master will open your eyes! ”Come, close the door.” Seeing the old man like this, I knew that he was holding back his desire to show me off, so I listened to him close the door.

When I first opened the door, it was so dark that I could only see a small portion of what was inside. I was already prepared to go into the dark, but after I closed the door, the room suddenly lit up.

A few steps behind the door was the courtyard with two wooden posts that were as thick as a person's arms. Behind the courtyard was the main hall, which was filled with antique tables and chairs.

A red character with golden edges was hung on the front of the hall, depicting a eight trigram diagram. All of the decorations were of the old ancestral hall; it was originally nothing out of the ordinary. However, the sudden bright light and the red gossip made it hard for people to understand what was going on.

”Master, the lights in this room …”

The old man didn't answer me. He just strolled across the courtyard and lit an incense stick in front of the red gossip in the hall. In my heart, I knew that the old man was still trying to keep me in suspense, so I let him do the same.

”Little girl, this is a formation created by our sect, called the Rhonin Golden Light Array. This formation collects sunlight for nourishment and then reflects it back into the house, so right now, it is like we are in a house without a roof, absorbing the essence of the heavens and earth. It is even more beneficial to the cultivation of magical equipment and our own cultivation.”

I looked at the ceiling. It really did have the feeling of the sky. Each brick and tile was exceptionally clear, as if they were solid. However, they were emitting a light source. It was truly extraordinary. It seems like the old man still had a few brushes.

”Master, you're saving a lot of money for this month, aren't you?”

When the old man heard my words, he coughed and rolled his eyes. ”The sect's most precious treasures are more important than cultivation. How can we compare these worldly items?”

I looked at the old man in amusement. Isn't killing two birds with one stone? Still pretending!
