"Oh, we're finally home. We've been away for over ten years. It's time for us to get some rest."

Xu Qinghe asked with amusement, "Mother, are you tired? You're a Golden Core cultivator now, and I haven't asked you to fight anyone, so you shouldn't be tired, right?"

"You don't know anything. I'm just mentally exhausted. It's not as peaceful outside as at home. There are always things going on."

After answering her son, Xu Meifen turned to her daughter and asked, "Manman, when are we going back to our hometown? I wonder how those old neighbors are doing now."

Xu Qingman asked with a smile, "Mother, didn't you just say that you were tired from running around outside? Why are you thinking of going out again now?"

"Hey, you young people don't understand. No matter how good this place is, or how many people dream of coming here, in our hearts, Nanfeng City is our home."

"Yes, Manman, I wonder if your great-aunt will still be there when we get back."

Although the siblings didn't have a particularly good relationship, and the younger sister always only asked for handouts when she went back to her parents' home, never buying anything for her brother and sister-in-law, the old man still cared about her somewhat.

He only had his brother and sister left in his life. Unlike himself, his sister met a wonderful granddaughter who taught him how to cultivate immortality, allowing her to live for hundreds of years.

Although I had sent her some money before coming here with the children, more than ten years have passed, and I have to see her again no matter what.

He feared that if he didn't go back, he and his sister might never see each other again in this lifetime.

Xu Qingman understood the old man's feelings very well, so she immediately said, "Grandfather, we'll leave after Qinghe returns to the sect to meet his master. He's been away for more than ten years, and he should give the sect an explanation."

Xu Qinghe immediately replied, "That's right, Grandfather. I haven't handed in the task I took on last time. I promise that after returning to the sect, I'll immediately take on another long-term herb-gathering task. After we go back this time, let's stay for a few more years."

After hearing what his granddaughter and grandson said, the old man was very happy and kept saying "good" and urged Xu Qinghe to set off as soon as possible.

Left with no other choice, Xu Qinghe stayed at home for less than an hour before hurriedly leaving again. As his grandson, he had to comply with his father's wish to see his relatives.

Before leaving, Yu Jinchen specifically instructed, "Qinghe, if these two don't go to the sect on the spaceship at your base, come back and let your sister and me take you there. Don't go to the sect by yourself."

Xu Qinghe waved his hand, "I know, brother-in-law. I'm not a child, I'm not that stupid."

The next day, at the Nine Yang Sect, outside the cave of True Person Qingyun on Qingyun Peak.

"Master, your disciple is back."

Master Qingyun frowned as he let the person in, then immediately scolded, "Stop grinning like that. Did you go back to hand in your mission? Stop thinking about having fun outside. It's time to settle down and cultivate properly."

Xu Qinghe pointed to himself, "Master, look at me carefully."

Master Qingyun then gave him a look, "Oh, you're not bad, kid. You've already reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Good, keep up the good work, go back to your cave and cultivate."

Xu Qinghe hesitated for a while before finally smiling and saying, "Master, this disciple would like to take on another long-term herb-gathering mission, so..."

Before Xu Qinghe could finish speaking, Master Qingyun interrupted angrily, "You brat, stop thinking about going out and running around all day. Don't forget that our peak focuses on alchemy. If you keep running around all day, when will you ever learn to refine second-grade pills?"

Xu Qinghe quickly handed over several bottles of pills, "Master, these are the pills I've refined over the past two years, please take a look."

Hmm? Foundation Establishment Pill, Rejuvenation Pill, Spirit Replenishment Pill, and all of them are Grade 3 pills. It seems this kid has made quite a bit of progress in the past few years.

Since you're making such rapid progress outside, it wouldn't hurt to go out and explore more.

Although he no longer objected to his junior disciple going out, Master Qingyun still asked with some concern, "Who are you planning to go out with? Is it your sister and brother-in-law?"

Xu Qinghe nodded, "Yes, that's right, and so are my parents, our whole family."

"Alright, with your family with you, I don't need to worry about your safety anymore. But no matter where you are, you must not give up your cultivation. Go."

After saying that, Master Qingyun waved his hand and closed his eyes to begin cultivating again.

"Wait a moment, Master. This is something I obtained in the secret realm of Yunjing Mountain. I brought it here especially to show my respect to you."

"Let me see it. You're something else, only taking it out now that you're about to leave. If I hadn't agreed to let you leave the sect today, would you have refused to give it to me?"

"No, no, Master, please don't wrong your disciple. I almost forgot just now."

Xu Qinghe secretly wiped away a bead of sweat. It seemed that his sister's teachings weren't entirely correct. Could it be because she didn't understand his master?

After glancing at the contents of the storage bag, Master Qingyun expressionlessly chased Xu Qinghe out.

After everyone had gone some distance, Qingyun Zhenren burst out laughing. This kid's luck is really good; he's got nothing but high-grade spiritual herbs.

However, he is a filial son. How many people would be willing to give away such a good medicine to others?

After bidding farewell to his fellow disciples at Qingyun Peak, Xu Qinghe went to the mission hall to accept a long-term herb-gathering mission, and then hurriedly boarded the sect's airship back to Sifang City.

This time, the family is going to Earth, a planet with relatively scarce resources, and they plan to stay longer, so they need to stock up on supplies.

So, in the days leading up to our departure, the whole family spent every day shopping.

They bought a lot of spiritual herbs that they didn't have, as well as magical artifacts and robes that they weren't very good at.

They even bought a lot of pastries made with spirit rice and spirit flour. After returning home, they would always visit Lei Zhensheng and the others at the Cloud Mist Sect to see if they were married and had children.

Of course, Xu Qingman and her husband also cleared out a lot of the wealth they had accumulated over the past ten years. Some items that were unused or in large quantities were sold off in batches.

Between the buying and selling, not only did the number of spirit stones not decrease, but the number actually increased by several hundred thousand. This was mainly due to the fact that the entire mine of black iron stones was truly valuable.

The couple were truly clueless about weapon crafting, and even the little stone siblings were completely lost on it. Since they weren't good at it, there was no need to force it. Nobody's perfect, and there's no need to be so serious about everything.

During this time, the two frequently visited various shops and subtly inquired about the Liu family.

Unexpectedly, only a decade or so later, the Liu family had another heir, and no one mentioned Liu Dongfang anymore. Liu Dongfang's death was simply forgotten.

Finally, the teleportation array towards Dragon Hidden City was scheduled to open today. The family tidied up the entire courtyard.

Although everyone knows how to clean, Xu Meifen and her mother-in-law still personally wiped all the furniture and cleaned the yard.

Xu Qingman locked the door and activated the defensive formation amidst their reluctant gazes.

This place is also their home, and they don't want outsiders to break in when they're not home.
