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

Seeing the giant, fiery python that stretched for thirty or forty meters in front of them, the couple quickly picked up their child and protected them first.

The giant python didn't rush up to hurt them immediately; it simply raised its head high and stared at them with icy eyes, which felt particularly eerie.

Upon closer inspection, Xu Qingman realized it was just a fifth-tier demonic beast, with cultivation levels comparable to her and her husband, even though there were two of them.

The two were perfectly in sync. With just a glance, Yu Jinchen put down the child in his arms and held his sword in one hand to block their way.

Xu Qingman quietly retreated with the two children, then took out a high-level defensive array plate and told the siblings to hide inside and not come out.

An attack from a fifth-tier demonic beast is something that the two of them, mere Foundation Establishment cultivators, cannot withstand.

Seeing that the humans in front of it were unwilling to leave, the giant python let out a strange cry and charged forward.

Despite its enormous size and somewhat clumsy appearance, the giant python was surprisingly agile. In just one exchange, it had Yu Jinchen wrapped around its arms, and the coils tightened with each turn.

Seeing her husband in grave danger, Xu Qingman forced herself to calm down. Thinking of striking the snake at its vital spot, she raised her sword and leaped forward, stabbing the giant python in its seven-inch mark.

The python may appear soft, but its skin is extremely tough. Xu Qingman's all-out attack only managed to penetrate an inch and a half.

Fortunately, the stab hit the right spot; the seven-inch mark was its weakest point, and it still loosened its tail a little in pain.

Yu Jinchen took the opportunity to slide out, and then thrust his sword out diagonally, hitting the same spot.

The giant python, having been struck twice, roared in pain. As soon as it opened its mouth, a string of flames shot out, and the two of them desperately slid to the side.

Fortunately, Xu Qingman and her husband ran fast, otherwise they would have been burned to ashes like those burning trees.

Seeing this horrifying scene, the couple became even more cautious.

After that, it was more like guerrilla warfare; he would stab once and then run away, occasionally throwing out two thunderstorm talismans.

The giant python couldn't withstand this relentless onslaught, and soon, due to its severe injuries, it writhed on the ground in agony. As a result, all the vegetation in the area was scorched to death by the occasional flames it spewed.

With the combined efforts of the couple, the giant python finally died with resentment, beyond any hope of survival.

However, although the giant python died, it did not complete its mission.

The family painstakingly skinned and gutted the giant flaming python, and these were all valuable items; the snakeskin could be made into armor that was impervious to swords and spears.

Its tendons can be refined into a long whip. As for the snake gall, also known as the inner elixir, it is a rare and precious antidote.

Even its teeth are coveted by some cultivators who love using needles. It could be said that the entire Fiery Python, except for its flesh which no one wants to eat, is a treasure.

After cleaning up the mess, the family walked around the area. There must have been a reason why the giant python had blocked their way.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Little Stone discovered two nearly thousand-year-old ginseng roots.

However, such a small amount of food shouldn't be enough to make the giant python fight desperately.

The family searched around the woods again, gradually expanding the search area and looking further into the distance.

They finally found a large patch of ginseng after finding a sunny hillside.

Perhaps the ginseng, like human ginseng, loves sunlight, so besides various shrubs, this place is full of ginseng of all sizes.

Without saying a word, the family squatted down and started digging. However, before that, Xu Qingman placed a defensive talisman on each of them.

Not far away, Little Candy's excited voice rang out, "Mommy, there are so many spirit ginsengs here too! Brother, come and help me dig them up, I can't manage by myself."

When Little Stone heard his sister calling him, he immediately abandoned his parents and ran to his sister's side.

Seeing the two children digging further and further away, Xu Qingman followed them out of concern, deciding to leave this area to the children's father.

When she went over to take a look, oh my goodness, there were ginsengs everywhere, and they were all very old, as if someone had planted them on purpose.

Did they stumble upon a treasure trove of good fortune? They're so lucky! When luck comes, you can't stop it.

Fearing that too much time would attract other cultivators, and also because they couldn't dig it all up, they had to leave some for future generations. So, they tried to dig only the oldest ones, and wouldn't even look at anything less than a thousand years old.

Even so, the family of four had been digging here for nearly two hours. The value of this batch of ginseng alone would be more than enough even if they couldn't find anything else later.

Others enter the secret realm to search for treasures, but this family seems to be there to buy goods. In just a few days, they've found both black iron ore and spirit ginseng nests.

After digging up all the good parts, the family left without hesitation and went elsewhere.

Strangely enough, just after the family of four left, Master Haotian and his group found this place.

Looking at the messy excavation, with only some younger ginseng remaining, Xu Heng felt a pang of heartache.

"Uncle-Master, we're too late again. All the good ginseng has already been dug up."

"Alright, Heng'er, don't be so upset. Didn't you see that charred spot? If I'm not mistaken, that should have been left by the Flame Serpent."

"So what? The most powerful monster in this secret realm is only at the fifth rank. Isn't it because you, Uncle Master, are here?" Xu Heng said unconvinced.

“The fifth rank is not the same as the fifth rank. Your uncle is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. He can’t fight against a monster that is close to the sixth rank. You don’t know, this must be because we encountered a monster that is close to the sixth rank to be so serious.”

After Haotian Zhenren finished speaking, he pointed to the forest that had been burned beyond recognition.

"Alright, junior brother, let's hurry up and dig. Don't be fooled by the fact that these are hundreds of years old spirit ginseng. After selling them, we can earn quite a few spirit stones, in addition to the cost of entering the secret realm."

Li Shiwei stopped Xu Heng from speaking again. For their Qingxuan Sect, encountering so many spiritual ginsengs at once was already extremely fortunate.

We have to thank the cultivators ahead of us for looking down on these spiritual ginseng, which allowed us to snag a bargain.

As for the other three following behind them, they had already obediently lowered their heads and started digging.

If they don't work harder, they'll definitely be punished when they get back. It's all because of their willfulness that the sect missed out on a mine.

The six members of the Qingxuan Sect were frantically digging for spiritual herbs that others wouldn't even look at. Meanwhile, Xu Qingman and her family of four found another cave, intending to eat something and rest.

If other people saw them like this, they would think they were on vacation.

This family doesn't care about any of that. They want to cultivate into immortals so they can enjoy life better, not suffer. They're not putting the cart before the horse.

Work hard when you need to, but sometimes you should stop and take a good rest. That's life.

After a good night's rest, the family was refreshed and ready to embark on their treasure hunt.

As they were walking, suddenly, Little Stone pointed to a spot and shouted, "Mother, look!"
