After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

After selling twenty portions of demon meat to the vendors, the two saw a shop on the street that specialized in selling pills, so they went there to sell some low-level pills.

Seeing that all prices were much higher than in the cultivation world, especially since most people here were ordinary people, the couple sold a lot of those pills that had the effects of prolonging life and beautifying the skin.

It is said that these kinds of pills are very popular among the wealthy in big cities.

No wonder the Cloud Shadow Sect's sea-crossing business is booming; it turns out that most of the people on these ships, apart from cultivators returning home to visit relatives, are specifically there to carry goods.

This is why this small town, belonging to Nanyang City of Fenglin Kingdom, has given rise to many peddlers who travel between various countries.

The couple stayed in the small town for a few days and discovered that most of the people with spiritual roots here longed to join those cultivation sects. Even if they might never be able to enter based on their own abilities, they all held this belief in their hearts.

Since that's the case, the two didn't want to cause trouble for themselves, so they left directly and went to Qing Shi Village in Shi Li Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Jin Du City in the more remote Lie Yan Kingdom.

When the two entered the village, it was sunset, and the farmers had all stopped working and were walking home exhausted.

When they saw Xu Qingman and her companion, who were dressed in exceptionally gorgeous clothes and had exquisite looks, they were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy, pleading for their lives to be spared.

This action left Xu Qingman and the other person completely baffled.

I didn't do anything, so how did I scare people like this?

Yu Jinchen walked up to the oldest farmer and asked kindly, "Old man, what's wrong with you? My wife and I just wanted to find a family to stay with, we didn't mean to hurt you."

Upon hearing this, all those who were kneeling straightened up slightly, stole a glance at the two of them, and then quickly lowered their heads again.

Only the old farmer, who was asked by Yu Jinchen, had to raise his head slightly and answer in a trembling voice.

"You two esteemed guests, we thought you were sent by that demon again, which is why we were so frightened."

"Demon? What's going on? Tell me."

After asking his question, Yu Jinchen gestured for everyone to stand up instead of kneeling.

Although they were still a little scared, the farmers obediently stood up.

Amidst the cacophony of voices, Xu Qingman and her husband finally understood that the "demon" they were referring to was likely a group of demonic cultivators led by a demonic leader.

Since February of this year, a group of demonic cultivators suddenly appeared in this remote town of Shili.

Since this group took over Shili Town, they have never paid any attention to the government. Even the town mayor and his family were killed by them.

From then on, these demonic cultivators stipulated that each village must offer one hundred taels of silver and two beautiful young girls every year.

Last month, a village nearby refused to pay tribute, and overnight, more than two hundred people in the village died at their hands, their deaths were extremely gruesome.

Qing Shi Village was the village that the demonic cultivators were required to offer sacrifices to this month. One hundred taels of silver would be fine; the fifty-odd households could pool their resources and it would be enough. But who could bear to offer two beautiful young girls as sacrifices?

So when they saw Xu Qingman and her husband, two strangers, they assumed they were sent by the demonic cultivator to collect offerings.

After learning the whole story, Xu Qingman and her husband, who had originally planned to stay temporarily, decided to stay and help eliminate the demonic cultivators.

“Old man, my wife and I are both cultivators with some cultivation. We plan to stay and help you deal with that group of demonic cultivators, but we need your village to provide us with a place to stay temporarily.”

As soon as Yu Jinchen finished speaking, the old farmer waved his hands frantically and said, "Young man, we are very grateful that you have the idea to help, but those demonic cultivators are really powerful. You should leave."

Don't lose your life because of a moment of kindness. Especially since your wife is as beautiful as a fairy, it would be terrible if those people saw her. You'd better leave quickly.

A few days ago, the hunters from our village crossed these mountains, intending to seek help in Jindu City, but we don't know if they'll make it in time. Ah! If it really doesn't work out, we'll accept our fate.

After the old farmer finished speaking, the others also spoke up, urging the two to ignore them and leave the place quickly.

It's clear that these men are genuinely kind, and the local atmosphere is obviously very good. Although the situation in the village is urgent, they don't want Xu Qingman and her companion to get involved.

The more this happened, the more Xu Qingman and her companion wanted to help these kind people.

Fearing that these people would worry, the two decided to let their strength speak for itself.

One person found a stone weighing four or five hundred pounds, gently lifted it with one hand, and then tossed it into the air as if it were a piece of paper, before catching it with his hand.

Fearing they might still worry, Yu Jinchen conjured a wisp of fire in his palm and threw it onto the stone. In an instant, the stone, weighing several hundred pounds, turned into powder.

Although their true strength was many times greater than this, it was still incredibly impressive to the farmers who had never seen truly high-level cultivators before.

Sure enough, after demonstrating these two skills, everyone knelt down excitedly, exclaiming that Heaven had eyes and sent two immortals to help their village solve its problems.

Afterwards, everyone vied to invite the couple to stay at their homes. It was only after the village chief, having received the news, arrived that the couple, who were about to be overwhelmed by their enthusiasm, were saved.

“Esteemed immortals, I am Shen Changsheng, the village chief of Qing Shi Village. I happen to have a spare room in my house, which is intended for my youngest son’s wedding. No one has lived there yet. Why don’t you two stay at my house?”

The couple didn't care where they stayed, as long as they had a place to live.

Yu Jinchen nodded to the village chief, "Alright, then I'll trouble you, village chief."

The group arrived at a small courtyard with earthen bricks and blue tiles. As soon as they pushed open the gate, the village chief shouted into the house with a big smile, "Old woman, quickly tell your daughter-in-law to kill a chicken and prepare a sumptuous dinner. We have important guests."

"Who's here? They actually want to kill this old woman's chicken."

As soon as these words were spoken, a slightly hunched old woman came out of the house; she was clearly the village chief's wife.

Hearing the old woman's words, the village chief felt embarrassed and worried that Xu Qingman and her husband would be unhappy and no longer want to help his village. He glared at the old woman angrily.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The two immortal masters came here specifically to help us eliminate those demonic cultivators, and they can't even eat a chicken from you? If it weren't so late, this old man would have asked my sons to slaughter that fat pig to entertain our guests."

"No rush, we can kill them tomorrow morning. We'll cook plenty of good dishes then and make sure the two immortal masters are well taken care of."

Seeing that his wife was really angry, and seeing that Xu Qingman and the other woman were indeed exceptionally beautiful, he assumed they were immortal masters invited by the village hunters, so he dared not say anything more and directly ordered his daughter-in-law to kill a chicken.

Although Xu Qingman and her companion kept saying they didn't need to eat, the village chief's family thought it was just politeness and insisted on killing the old hen, taking out a piece of cured meat, and cooking what they considered an extremely lavish dinner.
