A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

After returning to the cabin, Wushuang did not go back to his room, but went to his second uncle's room, and his cousin followed him. His second aunt and cousin also came, but they were still in the secret realm and would probably not come out for a few days.

Wushuang picked out the contents of the two storage rings and stuffed them into her second uncle's pockets, telling him to keep whatever he needed and exchange the rest for spirit stones. This amount of stuff was enough for the whole family to cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage or even the Divine Transformation stage. Of course, she would leave most of her food and nourishing ingredients for the old man, who would share some with everyone after he finished cooking.

This time, everyone in their family could have a large storage device. They already had plenty, but they couldn't just give it away. Now, everyone in their family had one. Storage rings were considered a luxury item in the current Tianyuan Continent's immortal cultivation world, and only a few close disciples possessed them. Wushuang also planned to return home with two for the old man, the kind that could be hidden. These rings had built-in preservation features, ensuring that whatever went in would remain the same as it came out, without the need for restraining talismans or special packaging. The old man was mortal, after all, so keeping them hidden was safer.

Wushuang also plans to use clam shells that can block spiritual consciousness to build a gourmet food house for the old man. With the fairy peach, the old man can live many more years. Maybe by then he will find his father, and the old man can finally be reunited with his father!

Uncle Du scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment on his face. He hesitated and said, "Niece, this journey hasn't been easy. Our family's ability to embark on the path of cultivation is entirely thanks to you. And for so long, you've been the one supporting our family. As an elder... I'm truly ashamed."

Wushuang quickly waved her hands and responded sincerely, "Second Uncle, please don't say that! As a younger generation, it's only natural to respect our elders. We are family after all!" Besides, when she faced those two powerful Nascent Souls, her second uncle and cousin rushed to her defense without a second thought. Just for this friendship, it was only natural for her to treat them well! She would naturally treat relatives like this with sincerity!

After spending some money, he also received a lot of things he didn't have from his second uncle and cousin. There were some rare minerals and many well-preserved spiritual plants. Of course, these were not all for Wushuang, but because they knew she had a portable medicine garden, they gave them to her to cultivate. Plus, Wushuang was learning alchemy, so she could use any spiritual plants she could, as long as she left some for them. Putting it all together, there was quite a lot!

These two were truly blessed with good fortune! When they entered this mysterious realm, they felt as relaxed and at ease as if they were entering their own backyard. Along the way, they encountered surprisingly few real dangers, not even a direct encounter with the ferocious monsters rumored to exist.

All sorts of rare treasures appeared before their eyes, seemingly everywhere they looked. I wondered if these treasures weren't guarded by demonic beasts, but wherever they went, they easily snatched them up. Perhaps it was fate that had their fortunes so smooth.

Furthermore, when they encountered a group of foreign monks, they were completely unaware of their presence. At the time, the foreign monks were being chased madly by a ferocious fourth-tier monster, the mammoth. They were terrified and ran for their lives.

Seeing this, the two men cleverly set up a formation in a secluded area, hid there, and quietly observed the situation. After the group of foreign cultivators had disappeared without a trace, and even the vicious monster had been chased far away, they swaggered out.

What happened next was truly astonishing. Not only did they effortlessly pluck the precious Divine Transformation Grass that the demon beast had been guarding, but they even destroyed the demon beast's lair in one fell swoop. Inside, a vast amount of natural treasures collected by the mammoth fell into their hands. One could not help but sigh at their incredible good fortune!

It is said that the two men continued their journey without encountering any obstacles and left the dangerous place smoothly.

Even more surprising was that during this trip, my cousin unexpectedly contracted an incredibly powerful fourth-tier winged tiger! This winged tiger was truly extraordinary. Not only could it soar through the skies, it could also stride swiftly across land, a rare amphibious creature. Its combat power was also off the charts!

Speaking of this fortuitous encounter, it's clear they were incredibly lucky. The two happened to be passing through a valley when they witnessed a thrilling life-or-death struggle. The Winged Tiger and a fourth-level Swift Eagle were locked in a desperate battle for a nearly ripening five-petal lotus. The two fought back and forth, neither yielding, the battle raging for a moment. Ultimately, after a brutal fight, the Winged Tiger emerged victorious, narrowly edging the Swift Eagle, whose neck was tragically severed by the Winged Tiger's bite, instantly killing it.

At that moment, the two sharp-eyed men noticed that while the winged tiger had triumphed, it was also gravely wounded and near death. They acted decisively, seizing this opportunity to force a contract with the winged tiger. Perhaps it was divine intervention, or perhaps they possessed a unique charm, but they actually succeeded in taming the winged tiger and making it their spiritual pet.

Not only that, with the Winged Tiger's surrender, the precious five-petal lotus naturally fell into their hands. Furthermore, they also obtained all the treasures from the two monster lairs, which were filled with a dazzling array of natural treasures.

Normally, if there were more people together, the gains might be relatively less, but the two of them gained a lot along the way.

After leaving, Wushuang thought about it and decided to come to his master. Wushuang did not come with the sect on this trip to the secret realm, so he did not need to report to the sect. Wushuang packed some things to honor his master. His master loved wine and tea, so he would definitely give him some of the newly acquired spiritual wine. The newly acquired premium cloud mist tea had not been picked yet, so he would give him some later. He also picked out some of the premium spiritual woods for him, as well as some minerals and other things. His master was very good to him. He prepared everything he needed in advance and was really attentive to him. As a disciple, it was not excessive for him to show more respect to him.

In fact, Wushuang felt that he was probably even richer than his master. Although this item was quite valuable, he couldn't use it all, so giving it to his master wasn't a bad idea. Arriving at his master's room, Wushuang found his eldest brother kneeling in the corner. Had his eldest brother made a mistake? Wushuang's eyes widened instantly. What had happened that he didn't know about?

"Master." A clear and pleasant voice called out.

"Hey, Wushuang is here, but what's the matter?" A young man with an immortal look and flowing white beard looked at the graceful girl in front of him with a smile on his face.

Wushuang walked forward with a smile, took out a storage bag, and said, "Master, these are some good things I got in this secret realm. I brought them here especially to honor you."

Xuan Cheng's eyes were filled with smiles, and he waved his hands and said, "Haha, girls are still thoughtful. However, I have everything I need. That was your own opportunity, so you should keep it for yourself."

Wushuang blinked and said mysteriously, "Master, don't be so quick to refuse. There are rare treasures in here." As she spoke, she gently took out a Qiankun bottle, opened the cork, and a rich aroma of wine immediately wafted out.

"It's actually spiritual wine!" Xuan Cheng's eyes widened, his throat rolling unconsciously. You know, for cultivators, spiritual wine is not only mellow in flavor, but also rich in spiritual energy. Besides, the long road to becoming an immortal always requires some hobbies, and many people enjoy it, including Xuan Cheng.

"Master, this is not an ordinary spiritual wine. It is a fine wine that has been stored for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. It tastes excellent. You must have never tasted such delicious wine." Wushuang proudly introduced the fine wine in his hand.

Upon hearing that this was a spirit wine that had been stored for countless millennia, True Lord Xuancheng could no longer suppress his inner desire. He recalled the Monkey Wine he had tasted last time, and the flavor remained unforgettable. And now, the spirit wine in the Qiankun bottle before him—just the scent was enough to intoxicate him.

"Ahem... Since it is a filial act from my disciple, I will accept it." Master Xuancheng pretended to be calm, but his slightly trembling hands had already betrayed his excitement at the moment.

Wushuang handed over the storage bag as well, "These are all gifts from the disciple to the master. Master, please accept them all."

Xuancheng thought that since he had accepted it, it was all a token of the land's kindness, so he simply accepted it.

Wushuang glanced at his senior brother. Although he and his senior brother had a little disagreement at the auction, he had really come to his defense when he was in danger. Because of this, he would help him if he could. "Master, senior brother..."

Before Wushuang could finish his words, Xuancheng said directly, "Don't bother with him." Then he turned around and began to scold his eldest disciple again, "Look at your little sister. I only made you kneel down, and she even tried to plead for you. Look at what you have done! Are you doing a good enough job as a senior brother?"

Wushuang was a little confused. What happened to the senior brother?

The scolded Master Yunhai dared not utter a word. His secret thoughts were discovered by his master. Not only was he punished to kneel, but he was also beaten. He could not see the wounds on his face, but they were all on his body. He was not allowed to take healing pills, and he was still in pain all over. He swore that he really did not want to hurt the little junior sister, but wanted to scare her and teach her a lesson. Otherwise, he would always get into trouble when going out, and he was a little impatient to deal with those things. But this beating taught him that he must deal with the little junior sister with all his heart and soul in the future. The bones were broken, and the master was really cruel.

"I know I was wrong. I'm sorry, little apprentice sister. It's my fault, big brother, for not protecting you well."

Huh? Wushuang was even more confused. She felt that this was not the case. If she was wrong, she should admit it. Thinking of this, Wushuang didn't hesitate and simply admitted her mistake. "No, no, no, Senior Brother, it was my inconsiderate behavior that caused you to suffer. Master, this matter is not your fault. It was me who insisted on taking the longevity fruit that caused the trouble. I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again next time."

The eldest brother had been punished to kneel, so shouldn't he take the initiative? Before Wushuang could even kneel, Xuancheng lifted him up with his spiritual power. "Don't kneel. This isn't your fault. I, the direct disciple of Master Xuancheng, can take pictures of anything I want. You're not at fault. You're new to the world of immortal cultivation. There's a lot you don't understand, and you don't know who to contact. This isn't your fault."

"Remember, you're a direct disciple of Dao Sect. When you're out in public, even the elders of other sects have to give you some respect. No matter what happens, as long as you haven't committed any serious crimes, the sect will back you up. What's more, we have Master! We don't cause trouble, but we're definitely not afraid of it." He was still very conservative, because he was afraid of teaching another second disciple.
