I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

Fengchuan received a reward of one million spirit stones from his master, and felt completely refreshed.

They returned to their cave in high spirits, rested briefly, and then went out again.

I headed to the homes of all my friends and notified them one by one.

After a stick of incense had burned, everyone gathered at Guanyun Pavilion once again.

"Junior Brother Feng, you're back so soon. Was the mission not going well?" He Buwei asked.

"Junior brother, it's just a mission! If you fail, you fail. You can try again next time!" Sima Jinghong comforted him.

"Yes, junior brother! After all, it's your first mission, and you have no experience. It's only natural to fail!" Du Shaoling comforted him.

The others remained silent, suggesting that everyone shared the same opinion.

Everyone believed that Toyokawa's first mission outside the sect was a failure.

Everyone looked at Fengchuan with encouraging expressions, hoping that he would think positively and not be too discouraged.

It's no wonder people think that way; the time was simply too short.

According to their estimates, it would take at least three months for Toyokawa to complete the mission.

But only a month and a half later, Toyokawa returned.

In their view, Toyokawa's mission was probably not going well, which is why he returned early.

Seeing everyone's behavior, Toyokawa didn't mind, after all, everyone was concerned about him.

However, he didn't intend to keep his friends in suspense or make them worry.

"Hehe, fellow senior brothers and sisters, you've probably misunderstood!"

My junior brother didn't gather everyone here to seek comfort!

Besides, who said that my junior brother failed his mission?

"Junior brother has already completed his mission, which is why he came back early!" Toyokawa said.

"Oh? You finished the mission ahead of schedule? How did your mission go?" Huangfu Chuxia asked.

"I dare not deceive you all, my junior brother has really struck it lucky this time!"

The mission was accomplished very well during this trip.

"I gained a total of 315 sect contribution points, and also exchanged them for more than 100,000 spirit stones!" Fengchuan replied.

"hiss……"

Upon hearing Toyokawa's reply, the crowd erupted in shouts.

However, He Buwei inappropriately swore at this moment: "Holy crap, junior brother is awesome! You really gained so much?"

"Hehe, Senior Brother He, don't you know me? I never lie!" Fengchuan replied confidently.

Another chorus of hisses erupted.

Many of these people came from wealthy families in their mortal lives, and it was common for them to have vast fortunes.

But once they entered the world of cultivation, they realized that gold and silver were nothing compared to the world of cultivation.

A pile of gold and silver might be needed to exchange for a single low-grade spirit stone.

The crucial point is that no one has replaced them yet.

Because in the cultivation world, gold and silver circulate only among mortals, and are almost never used by cultivators.

The hard currency among cultivators is not gold or silver, but spirit stones.

That's why they were so shocked.

Moreover, they are all inner disciples, and they receive a monthly allowance of spirit stones.

During the Body Tempering stage, you earn 200 spirit stones per month; during the Spirit Gathering stage, you earn 500 to 1000 spirit stones per month.

The Spirit Gathering stage is divided according to the cultivation level. The monthly cost is 500 spirit stones in the early stage, 700 spirit stones in the middle stage, and 1000 spirit stones in the late stage.

However, this mission of Toyokawa lasted less than a month and a half.

He had already exchanged over 10 spirit stones and had 315 contribution points.

Don't underestimate contribution points. 315 points may not seem like much, but the exchange rate between contribution points and spirit stones is 1 to 100.

In other words, 315 contribution points can be counted as one spirit stone.

That's a lot for them!

That means that Fengchuan earned at least 13 spirit stones on this trip.

Based on the conversion of the inner sect's monthly allowance, even by the standard of the late stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm, it is equivalent to receiving at least 130 months' worth of monthly allowance at once.

A full 11 years!

No wonder He Buwei swore; they wanted to swear too!

But looking at Toyokawa's nonchalant expression...

A group of people decided to team up and beat him up.

"Junior brother, please let me cling to your thigh!" He Buwei said shamelessly.

“Hehe, Senior Brother He, my little arms and legs can’t take your hug!” Fengchuan replied.

"By the way, the reason I gathered everyone together this time isn't to show off!" Toyokawa continued.

"Holy crap, you don't consider this showing off? What else do you want?" He Buwei disagreed.

When others heard He Buwei's words, they all felt that although the words were rough, the reasoning was sound and made sense!

So they all fell silent and nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Toyokawa put a hand to his forehead, somewhat speechless.

I'm not here to show off, you guys just had to ask!

I answered, and now you all think I'm showing off.

To be considerate of everyone's feelings, I have already given a rather conservative answer.

If I were to actually share my gains, wouldn't you all be green with envy?

Alas, moral standards are declining, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be!

"The reason I've gathered everyone together is because my junior brother plans to treat us to grilled fish!" Fengchuan said.

“Hey, that sounds good! Let’s go, where should we eat?” He Buwei asked first.

“Hey~! That’s too small-minded, Senior Brother He! Is eating out any better than what your junior brother makes himself?” Feng Chuan replied.

"Oh? Junior brother can also make grilled fish? I didn't know that. Junior brother is really hiding his talent!" Huangfu Chuxia interjected.

"Oh ho? Junior brother, are you serious? Are you sure your grilled fish is edible?" He Buwei asked rhetorically.

"Hehe, who do you think you are? Just wait and see, your junior brother will show you his skills! I guarantee you won't be able to resist!" Fengchuan replied arrogantly.

"Haha, great! Then let's see how Junior Brother Feng performs! Senior Sister is really looking forward to it!" He Lanxi said.

“Yes, me too!” Nangong Yue also said.

The others didn't speak, but they all nodded, looking at Toyokawa expectantly.

"Haha, everyone, just wait and see!"

After speaking, Toyokawa walked outside the pavilion and set up a barbecue grill on a grassy open space.

Take out the charcoal that you have prepared in advance, and snap your fingers to light the charcoal fire.

Then they took out the spirit fish that had been cleaned beforehand, skewered it with a wooden stick, and placed it around the charcoal fire.

They were arranged in a circle, and they were all small yellow spirit fish.

Fengchuan had planned ahead; he had handed in all the other spirit jades for their missions, but he kept the little yellow spirit fish.

Because the small yellow croaker is plentiful and has a delicious flavor.

It's perfect for showing off to my senior classmates.

Once all the spirit fish were arranged, Fengchuan channeled a small amount of spiritual energy into the charcoal fire, and the flames immediately surged.

Then, Toyokawa walked around the grilled fish, turning it over from time to time and sprinkling it with his secret seasoning.

In less than fifteen minutes, an enticing aroma filled the area around the pavilion.

Upon smelling the aroma, He Buwei and his fellow disciples couldn't sit still any longer.

Mainly because it smells so good.

I originally wanted to act reserved, but I underestimated the allure of the spirit fish.

They walked over together and stood around the grilled fish.

Every now and then you can hear someone quietly swallowing their saliva.

The senior female students were initially quite reserved.

However, after He Bu went over for them, it wasn't long before they all followed suit.

Fifteen minutes later, the first batch of grilled fish was finally cooked through.

Each person was assigned a section, and then everyone returned to the pavilion and sat down.

Then Toyokawa took out the spirit fish again and repeated the previous operation.

After arranging them, I didn't add any fire, letting them bake slowly.

Meanwhile, Toyokawa himself came to the pavilion with a grilled fish in his hand.

"Quickly, eat it while it's hot, everyone try it! Let's see how your junior brother's cooking is!" Fengchuan said.

He took a bite, and the fish melted in his mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance.

Seeing this, the others no longer stood on ceremony and started eating together.

"Mmm! Not bad, it's damn delicious! I didn't know you had this skill, Junior Brother. I really misjudged you!" He Buwei groaned and praised.

"Hmm~, it's really good, a rare delicacy!" Du Shaoling, Sima Jinghong and the others also praised it.

"Hehe, junior brother's cooking is really good!" He Lanxi said to Feng Chuan.

"Mmm, it's delicious!" Nangong Yue also said.

Huangfu Chuxia didn't speak, but her little mouth was constantly chewing.

The intense flavor stimulated my taste buds, making me feel like I was melting.

He then revealed an expression of enjoyment.

"Junior Brother Feng, I never knew you had such skills! I'm truly impressed!" Huangfu Chuxia exclaimed.

"Hehe, fellow senior brothers and sisters, you flatter me. These are all minor skills, not worth mentioning," Fengchuan replied modestly.

"This is no compliment, Junior Brother Feng, your grilled fish is really delicious!" He Lanxi added.

"Yes, it's really good. Junior Brother Feng's skills are truly exceptional," Zhao Yunfei added.

"Agreed!" Shangguan Fei also said.

As everyone ate the grilled fish, they showered it with compliments.

Halfway through the meal, Toyokawa took out several small wine glasses and placed them on the round table in the pavilion.

Then he took out the spirit wine gourd and filled each cup.

"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, come and try my spirit wine. It's a rare delicacy."

However, be careful when drinking it; just take a small sip at a time.

"If you drink too much and get drunk later, don't blame your junior brother for not reminding you!" Fengchuan said.

After saying that, he picked up a glass and took a sip.

"Ah~, that feels so good!" Toyokawa exclaimed.

Seeing this, the others also stepped forward and each offered a cup.

They each took a sip, and their eyes widened immediately.

He quickly put down his wine glass, packed away the grilled fish, and sat down to meditate.

Before long, apart from the senior sisters and Fengchuan himself, everyone else entered a state of cultivation.

Toyokawa, however, acted as if nothing was wrong, eating and drinking as he went.

Before long, the grilled fish was finished, and the spirit wine was also gone.

Then, ignoring everyone else, he ran to the grill and started getting busy.

At this moment, the senior sisters also entered a state of cultivation.

After an incense stick had burned, everyone woke up one after another.

"Junior brother, where did you get this spirit wine? It's amazing!"

I just took a tiny sip, but it's worth a whole day of my arduous practice!

If I finish this cup of spiritual wine, I estimate I'll be able to break through my cultivation level!

"Thank you, senior brother!" He Buwei said.

The others shared the same sentiment and thanked Toyokawa for his gift.

"Hehe, fellow senior brothers and sisters, no need to be so polite!"

This spirit wine was a gift from an old man I met while on a mission!

Back then, my junior brother was in a much worse situation than you.

He recklessly downed a drink, and ended up completely drunk.

I slept through the night and didn't wake up until the next day.

"Luckily, that old man wasn't a bad person, otherwise my junior brother would have been in real trouble!" Fengchuan said.

"Oh? Is that so? Tell me more about your experience on this mission?" Huangfu Chuxia said.

“Yes, that’s fine!” Toyokawa replied.
