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

The family had barely walked a hundred meters out of the stone cave when Little Stone pointed ahead and shouted. Following his gaze, they saw a little girl, about ten years old, lying there, her life hanging in the balance.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the little girl they had met when entering the secret realm. But wasn't she with her father? Why was she lying here alone?

Xu Qingman touched him; he was still breathing, so he must have been injured and fainted.

After feeding her two pills, the girl woke up in less than fifteen minutes.

"Daddy, Niu Niu is scared, where are you?"

The girl woke up but didn't speak, she just kept crying.

After she finally stopped crying, the family finally understood what had happened. It turned out that the little girl, Yue Siyao, and her father had encountered a fifth-level demon beast the day before. The father was about to be defeated and, fearing that his daughter would get hurt, he told her to escape first.

She ran for a long time and managed to escape, but she also got separated from her father. Worried about his safety, she tripped and fell, rolling down the mountain.

Perhaps because it was her first time going out, this girl actually forgot that she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. When she fell, she didn't even know to use her spiritual power to protect herself, which is why she was seriously injured.

After figuring out what had happened, the family was speechless. How could there be such a stupid cultivator? Even little Tangguo, who was not even ten years old, wouldn't have made such a blunder.

"Girl, did your father send you a communication talisman? Check if your father is safe before you cry, okay?"

Looking at the little girl who kept crying, Xu Qingman was also very troubled. Her own two darlings were much better.

"Oh, I think I do. Let me look for it."

The little girl rummaged through her clothes for a long time before finally pulling out a storage bag. After finding a communication talisman, she saw that the talisman was flashing continuously, clearly indicating that her father was anxiously looking for her.

After speaking with her father, the little girl finally stopped crying. With a flushed face, she kowtowed to Xu Qingman and her husband, saying, "Thank you both for saving me. My father will be here soon. He said he will definitely thank you both handsomely later."

They really did arrive very quickly, they must have used a teleportation scroll.

After the Nascent Soul stage male cultivator arrived, he first carefully checked on his daughter. Seeing that she was alright, he then respectfully bowed to Xu Qingman and her husband.

"Thank you both for saving my child's life. My name is Yue Yuanche, and I come from the Yue family, a cultivation family in Ning'an City."

"You're welcome to visit our Ning'an City anytime you have time. Of course, if you two ever need any help from the Yuezhi in the future, please feel free to come to my territory."

As he spoke, he took out a storage ring and placed it in Yu Jinchen's hand, saying that he was grateful to Yu Jinchen's family for saving his life.

Yu Jinchen didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it, replying, "Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time. Well then, we'll be going now."

"Please wait a moment, are these two pretty little babies your children?"

Seeing the two nod, Yue Cheyuan took out two white mice and put them in the hands of Xiao Shitou and his sister. "These are treasure-hunting mice that your uncle raised himself. Although they are not very strong yet, with them, the chances of finding good things are quite high."

"This, this won't do, this is too precious, we can't accept it." Upon hearing that it was actually a treasure-hunting rat, Yu Jinchen quickly refused.

"Oh dear, look how much the children like it. Take it. Is my daughter's life less important than two little mice?"

Yue Cheyuan spoke these words with utmost seriousness. He was over two hundred years old, and his daughter Siyao lost her mother shortly after birth. He believed that besides this daughter, he would never have any other children in his life.

He was nearly driven mad with worry when he almost couldn't find his children. He would have been willing to do anything, even if it were more than just two treasure-hunting mice.

Yue Cheyuan thought to himself that he had spoiled the child too much over the years because he felt sorry for her for losing her mother at a young age, to the point that she was helpless when she was separated from her family.

It seems that when I get back this time, I should heed my grandfather's advice and properly teach this child.

The couple considered saying they had already accepted the thank-you gift and should let it go, but seeing the two children holding the toy mouse with such reluctance, they had no choice but to let them accept it.

Xu Qingman thought she didn't have any other good gifts to give in return, but she had just dug up a lot of black iron stones, so she put some in her storage bag and handed them to Yue Siyao.

"Yaoyao, this is a piece of black iron that your aunt's family found. Take it back and have your dad find someone to forge a weapon for you."

Seeing her father nod to indicate that she should accept it, Yue Siyao smiled and put it away.

Before parting, Yue Siyao reluctantly held onto Little Stone and Little Candy, saying, "Little Stone, Little Candy, when you have time, you must ask your uncle and aunt to bring you to Ning'an City to find me."

Yue Siyao was so envious of them, having a father and mother to accompany them as they grew up. She wished she had a mother too.

After the family separated, the little stone siblings couldn't wait to adopt the treasure-hunting rat. They had never raised a spirit beast before, and it was so cute.

The Treasure-Seeking Rat is not like other spirit beasts. In order to prevent attracting the covetousness of outsiders, Yu Jinchen told them not to expose the Treasure-Seeking Rat to others.

The two siblings were always obedient. When they heard their father say that they shouldn't let outsiders see them, they immediately put the treasure-hunting rat into their pockets. However, their left hands remained in their pockets and were rarely taken out afterward.

Since acquiring two treasure-hunting rats that haven't yet grown up, the family has been frequently in a state of stocking up on supplies. Although most of them are low-grade spiritual herbs, they are able to win entirely by sheer quantity.

That day, the family was preparing to set off when they saw two treasure-hunting mice dart out of the siblings' pockets and run forward as fast as they could.

"Da Bai, Er Bai, slow down!" the brother and sister shouted as they chased after them.

Da Bai and Er Bai are the names the siblings gave to their two treasure-hunting mice. After a period of getting to know each other, the siblings were able to understand each other's thoughts and feelings.

Judging from their behavior, they must have found something good; this isn't the first time this has happened recently.

Seeing the two people and two rats running forward, Xu Qingman and her husband had no choice but to chase after them.

After running for less than a quarter of an hour, the two little treasure-hunting mice stopped. The family looked at the large patch of spirit fruit trees in front of them, thinking that the two little ones had indeed not disappointed them.

"Wow! So many spirit fruits! It just so happens that I've already eaten all the spirit fruits I saved up. Big White, Little White, thank you!" Little Candy hugged the two treasure-hunting mice and excitedly smacked her lips twice.

For a child, no matter how valuable the spiritual herbs or minerals are, they can't compare to her favorite snacks.

Because she dared not take anything from the Azure Profound Space in the secret realm, the little girl had been out of stock for several days.

"Hmm, this one tastes even better, what do you think, brother?" The little girl tried every kind of fruit in the area, and didn't forget to stuff one into her brother's mouth whenever she could.

Little Stone nodded. "Yes, it really is delicious. Let's pick more so that if we can't find any more spirit fruits later, you won't have any to eat, little sister."

To prevent the little princess from missing out on her favorite spiritual fruit, the family picked almost all of the fruit, leaving only some that weren't pretty enough.

After picking all the spiritual fruits, the family was about to leave when two treasure-hunting rats grabbed their two young masters, preventing them from leaving.

Strange, isn't there more than spiritual fruits here? But they've already searched, and there's nothing here except a rocky mountain.

Following the two treasure-hunting rats to the foot of the stone mountain, the family looked at the large rock in front of them. Could there be a mineral inside? But they couldn't sense any spiritual energy at all.

The family touched the rocky hill from the left and right. Suddenly, something moved, and a bright light shone from beneath their feet.
