My ancestors were spiritual plant growers, so it's not surprising that I hunt demons every day,

The servant, who was only at the third level of Qi Refining, saw that Cui Ying possessed an extraordinary demeanor and an aura that was both ancient and enduring. He immediately replied with a fawning smile:

"Replying to your question, senior, the clan's tasks are refreshed irregularly. It's just that the more recent tasks have been taken by other seniors. If you find this inconvenient, perhaps you could wait a little longer, and I'll keep an eye out for you?"

"That's not necessary."

Cui Ying shook her head; in fact, she had only asked the question casually.

After all, in her previous life, she had traveled tens of thousands of miles to various places on her missions. And now that her family has settled down, she has been staying at home for quite a while and is eager to go out and see the world.

Having taken everything with her, Cui Ying didn't want to waste any more time. After saying a few words to both sets of parents at home, she quietly left the village.

Following the same route as the last trip to Sands Cotai Central, the Dragon Horse roller coaster took four days, stopping and starting along the way, before finally arriving at Sands Cotai Central one evening.

This area was indeed under the jurisdiction of the Lei family. Before even entering the city, Cui Ying and the others could see the Lei family's insignia hanging on the high city wall from afar.

Having learned from their previous experience, Cui Ying and her companions found an inn to rest this time. They didn't truly approach the territory of Zhao Family Village until the third day after arriving in Jinsha City.

According to the intelligence provided by the Lei family, Zhao Family Village is a centralized power base for the head of the family. It is a small village with only two or three thousand inhabitants located on Camel Peak Mountain on the border of Jinsha City.

The family head, Zhao Wang, was once a member of the Lei family from outside the family. His cultivation level was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and he was already old and had no chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

The number of cultivators in the clan has dwindled, with most remaining being mortals. Only one great-grandson, Zhao Yunbo, possesses considerable talent and, at only eighteen years old, is currently hovering at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Cui Ying rode a roller coaster into the city and found that it was unlike their Shuangling Village. It was a place where cultivators and mortals lived together, and cultivators could be seen everywhere.

She looked around carefully and found that there weren't many cultivators here; everywhere were ordinary people hurrying by.

The Zhao family's residence was not located here, but rather on Camel Peak Mountain, about five or six miles outside the village. The Dragon Horse Roller Coaster passed through the clean and tidy long street and slowly headed towards a large mansion on the mountainside.

"Whom does the immortal master seek?"

After Cui Ying explained his purpose and handed over the Lei family token, one of the gatekeepers immediately turned around and went inside to report.

Meanwhile, another servant respectfully ushered her and Gu Shiyin inside. In the main room stood an elderly man with white hair and beard, who was none other than the head of the family, Zhao Wang, who personally greeted them.

When Zhao Wang saw Cui Ying with a handsome young man, he was taken aback, especially after he sensed that Gu Shiyin was just an ordinary mortal. He felt a little strange.

He merely glanced at Gu Shiyin a few times, without inquiring about Gu Shiyin's identity out of curiosity. This was because Cui Ying's cultivation had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, making her someone they couldn't afford to offend.

It would be a loss to offend her by saying something you shouldn't have.

Along with Zhao Wang, several middle-aged men and women were also there to greet them. Among them, two young men stood out and caught Cui Ying's eye.

Before Cui Ying could ask any questions, Zhao Wang spoke up first, explaining, "This is my great-grandson, Zhao Yunbo."

Zhao Yunbo was the one of the two, dressed in a blue robe. His skin was dark, and his features were not particularly striking, but his gaze was clear and his posture upright. When he saw Cui Ying looking over, he paused slightly, but immediately reacted by bowing respectfully.

"Zhao Yunbo greets senior."

Another young man wore an indigo brocade robe, his square face framed by a pair of slender, almond-shaped eyes that gave him an extremely likable appearance. However, Zhao Wang's expression darkened slightly, and his lips parted several times before hesitantly introducing him:

"This is Zhao Kai, a distant nephew of Zhao."

"Zhao Kai greets senior."

This person had a calm expression and appeared to be more mature and composed than Zhao Yunnanbo.

Cui Ying glanced up and saw that he and Zhao Yunbo were both at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but the spiritual energy emanating from him was much more abundant and profound.

Cui Ying casually narrowed her eyes, a faint smile on her face, making it impossible to discern her true thoughts.

"Tell me the details, Patriarch Zhao."

Cui Ying withdrew her gaze and looked at the old man opposite her, speaking calmly.

"Since you've come from afar, I've already ordered someone to prepare tea in the inner room. Let's talk as we walk."

Zhao Wang valued Cui Ying highly, so he immediately dismissed his attendants and led Cui Ying into the front hall, where he explained the whole situation:

"As you know, senior, our Jinsha City is overrun with monsters. From time to time, monsters come down from the mountain to eat cultivators and mortals."

"Recently, our Zhao Family Village has been in a state of panic because of a butterfly demon. A few days ago, I, Zhao, organized a small number of cultivators in the village to injure it, and it has not reappeared for several days. However, the day after tomorrow is the full moon, which is also the time when the essence of the moon is at its peak. The essence of the moon is very nourishing to demons, and that butterfly demon will definitely appear. Senior, you can stay in my manor for now, and we will go together to kill it the day after tomorrow."

"Then I'll trouble Patriarch Zhao to make the arrangements."

Since Cui Ying had already accepted the task, there was no reason for her to refuse, so she took the opportunity to stay at the Zhao family's house temporarily.

The four-winged butterfly demon is a relatively common type of demon in their Immortal Origin Continent.

According to the information Zhao Wang gave to the Lei family, this four-winged butterfly demon was at the same cultivation level as her, and apart from its extremely fast movement speed, it was not as powerful as others imagined.

In addition, with Zhao Wang, who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, accompanying them, the two of them working together should not have any difficulty in killing the four-winged butterfly demon.

Cui patted Taxue's head, relieved.

The accommodations arranged by Zhao Wang were in a relatively quiet courtyard. All the furnishings inside were brand new, clearly prepared in advance.

After several days of traveling, the couple showed no interest in making any further moves.

After a day of cultivation, it will be the day of perfect harmony that Zhao Wang mentioned.

That night, the silver moon hung high in the sky.

Cui Ying left Ta Xue and Gu Shiyin in the courtyard, while she and Zhao Wangtayun went into the mountains behind Zhao Family Village.

The two traveled on clouds for about ten miles before landing in a dense forest full of strange rocks.

Perhaps it was because the moonlight was so bright that even the vast, layered canopy of trees could not block the light overhead. The bright moonlight dappled through the forest, making the road ahead clear.

"The butterfly demon's lair isn't far ahead!"

Zhao Wang discerned the direction, concealed his aura, and took the lead.

Cui Ying glanced around, then flicked a wisp of silver light from her sleeve before following them inside with peace of mind. After walking only a few hundred meters, she felt a chilling wind rise, and Cui Ying became cautious, showing no sign of being careless.

"Senior, we've arrived."

Just then, a hoarse voice rang in Cui Ying's ears. It was Zhao Wang, who was in front, reminding her through telepathic communication, worried about alerting the enemy.
