Jiang Qingwu stood quietly in front of Miaofeng Residence, gazing at the tranquil and elegant building before her, her heart surging with indescribable emotions. This emotion, like a surging tide, constantly impacted the softest corners of her heart, making her unable to extricate herself from it.

This tranquil retreat, called Miaofengju, stood like a dazzling pearl set amidst the vast expanse of the Wuliang Sect. It exuded a unique charm, seemingly capable of penetrating the soul, instilling an endless sense of peace and tranquility. At that moment, Jiang Qingwu deeply understood that from now on, this place would become her warm home within the Wuliang Sect, a haven all her own.

A gentle breeze rustled Jiang Qingwu's tender face, her heart filled with emotion. Every blade of grass, every tree, every stone, every tile here exuded a unique charm, as if it could penetrate one's soul, making one feel endless peace and tranquility.

Jiang Qingwu closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and felt the fresh air. Her heart was filled with indescribable emotions, which surged like a surging tide, constantly impacting the softest corners of her heart, making her unable to extricate herself.

"This place is truly beautiful," Jiang Qingwu murmured softly. She slowly opened her eyes and once again cast her gaze towards Miaofeng Residence. "From now on, this will be my home." Her heart was filled with warmth and anticipation.

This place, called Miaofeng Residence, stood like a dazzling pearl inlaid on the vast land of the Wuliang Sect. More than a simple abode, it felt like a warm and tranquil castle, the softest and most reassuring refuge in her heart. For her, this was her one and only warm home within the Wuliang Sect, her own personal haven.

She knew that from this moment on, a brand new journey in life was about to begin on this mysterious land. Jiang Qingwu, filled with gratitude, gazed with eyes as clear as water at He Yihuan, who was dressed in a vibrant crimson gown, tall and slender, standing as straight as a pine tree. His temperament was elegant and gentle, as crystal clear as a beautiful jade, and he couldn't help but feel close to her, as comfortable and joyful as bathing in a warm spring breeze.

"Master," Jiang Qingwu said, his voice filled with endless respect and gratitude. "If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would never have the chance to enter the Wuliang Sect and have such a warm and beautiful home."

He Yihuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a faint smile, "Qingwu, this is an opportunity given to you by God, you must cherish it doubly."

Jiang Qingwu nodded heavily, his eyes were extremely determined, and he secretly warned himself in his heart: No matter how rugged and bumpy the road ahead is, he will go all out to cherish this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, practice diligently, and never let down the careful teachings of his master, the tolerant acceptance of the Wuliang Sect, the selfless dedication of the Jiang family, and his own rebirth from the ashes after going through hardships!

She knew that her future was full of hope and challenges, and she had to face them bravely and keep moving forward.

Across from Wuliang Sect, Pei Yi hurried back to Sishan Hall, beads of sweat still beading on his forehead. Without a moment's rest, he immediately grabbed a pen and paper and began listing a large number of ingredients. These ingredients were carefully selected, each serving a specific purpose. They were all needed for the banquet he was preparing to celebrate his uncle's breakthrough and the occasion of his uncle accepting a disciple.

"Three magical pigs, thirty magical chickens, one hundred dragon saliva fish, one hundred blue turtles, ten bottles of magical dew..." Pei Yi muttered as he wrote quickly on the paper. His eyes were focused and determined, and the pen in his hand moved rapidly across the paper.

Pei Yi paused, looking at the long list of ingredients on the paper, feeling a little worried. He knew that time was running out and he had to quickly deliver these ingredients to his second senior brother, Shi Chenbai, who was shopping at the market at the foot of Wuliang Sect Mountain.

"Second Brother, you must buy these ingredients." Pei Yi said to himself.

Pei Yi prayed silently in his heart as he wrote. He hoped that his second brother could successfully buy the ingredients and bring them back to the mountain as soon as possible, so as not to delay today's banquet.

After finishing the list, Pei Yi took a deep breath and carefully folded the paper. With a finger gesture, the letter immediately transformed into a paper crane, which flew out in a streak of light.

"Hurry up, little paper crane!" Pei Yi said cheerfully, his heart filled with anticipation as he watched the paper crane fly off into the distance. He believed that Second Brother would receive his message and bring back the ingredients he needed as soon as possible, even though he knew his request was embarrassing.

While waiting for his second brother to return, Pei Yi was not idle. He began to prepare the necessary tools and seasonings for cooking, making full preparations for the upcoming cooking. He knew that only with thorough preparation could he cook delicious dishes.

Pei Yi expertly processed the various available ingredients. As the Wuliang Sect's foremost chef, his technique was deft and deft, as if he were playing a beautiful piece of music. He harnessed his spiritual power to control every cut and spoonful, perfectly capturing the essence of the ingredients. Now, he waited for his senior brother to procure the dish.

The Wuliang Sect's market was bustling with activity. Stalls brimmed with a dazzling array of goods. Monks came and went, some selecting magical artifacts, others purchasing spiritual herbs. The scene was bustling with activity.

"Oh, Master Immortal, you are a rare guest among rare guests! We ordinary people are honored to see you coming here in person to purchase items today! Look, I just caught some very fresh and cute rabbits, and kept them specially, just to give them to you, Master Immortal, so that you can take them back to the seniors of Wuliang Sect to taste them!" A hunter with a loyal and honest face, holding up a basket of lively rabbits with a smile on his face, eagerly handed it to Shi Chenbai.

Shi Chenbai quickly waved his hands and declined, "Brother Wang, you are too polite! How can this be? You should sell these rabbits quickly and get some silver to supplement your family's living expenses." He looked serious, his tone firm and full of a sense of justice.

After all, the surrounding villages and cities had always been blessed and protected by the Wuliang Sect, and as an elder of the General Affairs Hall, he frequently interacted with the outside world. So whenever he wandered the market, he would always encounter those kind-hearted and simple villagers, who would rush to give various items to the Wuliang Sect disciples.

Especially for someone like him, who was in charge of external liaisons, he was often the target of the villagers' excessive hospitality. Sometimes one family would send a basket of sweet and delicious fruit, sometimes another would offer a large piece of tender and juicy meat... Faced with such generous offers, they would always politely decline, but their efforts were often in vain. Finally, with no other choice, they temporarily accepted the gifts and, when no one was looking, quietly left some silver as a reward.

"Alas, there's really nothing I can do about these simple villagers!" Shi Chenbai shook his head helplessly, a wry smile on his face. This wasn't the first time he'd encountered this situation. While he understood the villagers' good intentions, he didn't want to cause them any trouble or burden due to his status. After all, as an elder of the Wuliang Sect, he knew he shouldered a heavy responsibility and couldn't easily accept gifts from others.

Just as he was lost in thought, a young villager approached, holding a bunch of crystal-clear grapes and offering them to him. "Master Immortal, please try some of our grapes! They're new this year!" the young villager said with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation and sincerity.

The elder looked at the bunch of grapes and felt a surge of emotion. He knew these grapes were the fruit of the villagers' hard work, each one imbued with their love and hope for life. Yet, he smiled and declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, but I really don't need them. Please leave them for someone else who needs them." He then gently patted the young villager's shoulder in gratitude.

The young villager seemed a little disappointed, but he did not give up. Instead, he continued to persuade: "Master Immortal, please accept it. This is just a small token of our appreciation. You have done so much for us, and we are always grateful!" As he said that, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms, which was filled with various snacks, and handed it to the elder.

Shi Chenbai looked at the small cloth bag, feeling increasingly guilty. He knew that if he continued to refuse, he might hurt the villagers' feelings. He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately accepted the small cloth bag and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you. However, I can't just accept your things for nothing. Here are some spirit stones as a token of my appreciation." He then pulled a few spirit stones from his pocket and placed them in the young villager's hand.

Seeing this, the young villager quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, Master Immortal, how can we take your money? We gave these things to you voluntarily, so you don't have to be so polite." He tried to return the silver coins to Shi Chenbai, but Shi Chenbai refused to take them back. After some hesitation, the young villager finally accepted the spirit stone and said he would use it to help poor families in the village.

Shi Chenbai nodded in satisfaction and waved goodbye to the young villagers. He thought with emotion, "These villagers are truly kind! Their innocence and warmth warm my heart. Perhaps it's precisely because of these lovely people that some cultivators are willing to give up their ascension and remain in this mortal world." With this sentiment, the elder continued to stroll through the market, enjoying this rare tranquility and harmony.

Shi Chenbai was strolling leisurely there, eating snacks he and Feng Jingchen had obtained from the young villagers while chatting with the surrounding merchants.

"Boss Li, have there been any new magic weapons arrived recently?" Shi Chenbai asked with a smile.

"Master Immortal, you come at a very unfortunate time. There haven't been any new magic weapons recently. However, I have some good quality spiritual herbs here. Would you like to take a look?" Merchant Boss Li replied enthusiastically.

Shi Chenbai shook his head. "I don't need the spiritual herbs for now. Remember to let me know when you have new magic weapons."

At that moment, a ray of light suddenly rushed towards Shi Chenbai. His eyes widened in shock as a letter, like an arrow shot from a bow, struck his forehead without hesitation! This sudden scene caught him off guard, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart: Could something extremely urgent have happened? Otherwise, why would they be so eager to send a message to him?

"What's going on?" Shi Chenbai muttered, rubbing his bruised forehead. He quickly opened the mysterious letter. However, when he read its contents, he was stunned. His tense heartstrings relaxed instantly, but then an uncontrollable rage surged in his heart.

"Three spirit pigs, thirty spirit chickens, one hundred dragon saliva fish, one hundred azure turtles, ten bottles of celestial dew..." Shi Chenbai read the list word by word, his face growing increasingly gloomy. With each name he read, his rage grew. Especially when he saw the staggering number of dragon saliva fish and azure turtles, he was almost furious.

"Pei Yi, that brat, is trying to torture me to death!" Shi Chenbai muttered indignantly, crumpling the letter in his hand. If he weren't in the market at the foot of Wuliang Sect Mountain, surrounded by city dwellers and cultivators, he would have wanted to tear this ridiculous purchase order to pieces.

After calming down, Shi Chenbai took several slow, deep breaths, trying to calm his restless heart. He frowned slightly, thinking silently, "Well, well, since this is something Sixth Junior Brother has entrusted me with, I should do my best to complete it, no matter what. It's just that... these spirit pigs and spirit chickens are relatively common, and preparing the required quantities shouldn't be a problem. However, those other rare spirit meats are truly difficult to find! If I were to gather them all, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find them even if I turned this Worry-Free Market upside down!" Thinking of this, Shi Chenbai couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling a little relieved.

"Uncle Master, what happened? What makes you so angry?" Feng Jingchen had been beside Shi Chenbai. Seeing his reaction, he asked curiously.

Shi Chenbai handed the letter to Feng Jingchen helplessly, "Look, this is the shopping list your Uncle Pei gave me. Isn't this asking for my life?"

Feng Jingchen took the letter, glanced at the contents, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. "This... this is indeed a bit difficult. Uncle, what should we do?"

Shi Chenbai pondered for a moment. "Let's start with the relatively simple and easy steps in the preparations, and then find ways to overcome the remaining difficulties. Let's go and see if there are any spiritual pigs and chickens."

Feng Jingchen nodded and followed Shi Chenbai towards the livestock selling area.

"Hmph! Wait until we get back to my master's sect, and see how I'll deal with you!" Shi Chenbai muttered secretly in his heart. At the same time, he turned his head and waved to Feng Jingchen, who was already stunned by what he had heard, indicating that he should join this crazy purchasing operation.
