On the first morning, Ye Lan woke up with a terrible headache. He didn't vomit when he was drunk, but he would get a headache.

Ye Lan couldn't help but pat his head. Suddenly, he glanced at the pot of peach blossom wine on the table and felt his headache get worse. When he was drunk, he wouldn't black out and would clearly remember what happened.

But this is worse than amnesia. He actually called Jiang Ning "Little Fairy". How can he call her brother and fawn over her in the future? I just hope that Lord Jiang Ning will be magnanimous and not hold a grudge. Ye, the person in question, is now very regretful.

Ye Lan didn't have time to regret it for long. He couldn't stand the smell of alcohol on his body, so he quickly got up to wash up and change into clean clothes.

When he arrived at the dining hall to catch the last batch of breakfast, he ran into Su Bo, who was also late. Su Bo greeted Ye Lan warmly as soon as he saw him.

After spending a month together, the two have become quite familiar with each other. In particular, yesterday Ye Lan brought out peach blossom wine to share, and coupled with his excellent cooking skills, Su Bo added him to her list of good friends.

The two hurriedly finished their breakfast and rushed off to cultivate. Today, Elder Shanqiu was instructing them. Elder Shanqiu was a female elder with a very good temper, but she disliked disciples who had no sense of time, so they couldn't be late.

When Su Bo and Ye Lan arrived by sword, Elder Shan Qiu had not yet arrived.

Thank goodness, Ye Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was more respectful of gentle masters and was afraid that this gentle female elder would have a bad impression of him. This reminded him of his former master's wife, who had been very good to him, but unfortunately passed away early.

His master was very strict. If he was dissatisfied with his studies or cooking skills, he would make him stand as punishment. His master's wife would never allow it. His master was afraid of his wife his whole life and dared not really make him stand as punishment. Those years were the happiest days of his life. After she left, Ye Lan never dared to disobey his master's words. He wanted to do everything to the best of his ability, which was also to put his master's wife at ease.

"What are you thinking about?"

Elder Shanqiu arrived beside Ye Lan at some point. Seeing him in a daze, she couldn't help but ask. She quite liked this fair-skinned little disciple. His talent wasn't particularly high, but he was good at learning and willing to endure hardship.

"I apologize, I was distracted."

Ye Lan bowed respectfully, not daring to say that she missed her teacher's wife in another world.

"It's alright." With that, Master Shanqiu stepped forward and walked in front of his disciples. "Tomorrow you will be going to the mortal world to cultivate. You have already spent a lot of time on physical training. Today, you will review the previous techniques."

The disciples began to whisper among themselves.

"I didn't expect it to come so quickly this year."

"Yes, this year we can sneak off to the local markets too."

"Yes, we might even find some high-quality spirit stones."

“But every year the practice is so hard, and I also have to help them with farm work. I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it.”

Most of those who said this were female disciples. Those who could cultivate in the inner sect were the apple of their parents' eyes and had never done any work at home. They did not complain about the dirt and hard work, but were just afraid of not being able to complete their cultivation. This shows that the sect's style is still very upright.

"No, our senior brothers and sisters did a great job before, we can definitely do it too."

"That's it."

Ye Lan listened without saying a word. He was thinking that he could go to the countryside to buy seasonings. There were no dark soy sauce or oyster sauce here, nor were there any pickled cabbage or pickled peppers. He thought that the countryside should have them, and he would go and take a look.

"Alright, everyone, quiet down," Elder Shanchun gestured for everyone to be quiet. "Go collect your monthly allowances at noon today, and gather at the back mountain tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

The disciples answered in unison.

Elder Shanqiu nodded in satisfaction: "Then everyone should refrain from talking and focus on your cultivation."

The disciples all learned the techniques before they began practicing.

Ye Lan felt that the time for cultivation passed quickly, and before she knew it, it was noon. She then followed the group to collect spirit stones.

The monthly allowance is the currency of this world, specifically a type of spirit stone, similar to silver in the past, except that it contains spiritual energy. It can be used to buy things, and if you don't need to buy anything, you can directly absorb the spiritual energy contained in the spirit stone, which is very beneficial for cultivation. This is something that ordinary spirit stones cannot do.

After receiving his monthly allowance, Ye Lan went to the dining hall for a meal. Jiang Ning and the others didn't need to receive theirs, so he was alone. He wanted to finish eating quickly before going to the bamboo forest to cultivate.

The next morning arrived in the blink of an eye. When Ye Lan arrived, some disciples were still missing, and the four elders were waiting for them there.

They needed to draw lots to divide into four groups. Ye Lan drew Elder Shanqiu, and he felt that he was quite lucky. Su Bo and Jiang Nan drew Elder Shanchun. Ye Lan smiled as he looked at their worried faces. He looked at Jiang Ning's lot, which was Elder Shanqiu, just like his.

When he set off, he found that Su Bo and Jiang Nan had also followed. He asked them and found out that they could exchange these lots. The two of them had used spirit stones to exchange with other disciples.

Ye Lan silently complained in her heart, "Goodness, as expected, money can be used to manipulate things behind the scenes in any world."

Elder Shanqiu and his group flew on their swords to Li Family Village at the foot of Qingshan Mountain, which was relatively close to the sect. When they arrived, the village chief and villagers were waiting at the village entrance.

Elder Shanqiu.

An old man stepped forward and greeted Elder Shanqiu with a cupped-hand salute. Ye Lan guessed that this must be the village chief.

As expected, Elder Shanqiu returned the greeting to the old man: "Village Chief Li, it's been a long time."

Then she turned to her disciples: "This is Village Chief Li. He will be in charge of arranging your accommodations in a moment. You must follow his instructions."

The disciples answered in unison, "Yes!"

Elder Shanqiu looked at Village Chief Li and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

The old village chief quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's no trouble at all. We are grateful that you brought your disciples to help us. Young masters, please follow me."

The land at the foot of the mountain is flat and fertile, suitable for growing rice. This time, they came to help with the spring planting of rice.

Since Jiang Ning's grandfather's generation, the Qingshan Sect has always required its disciples to cultivate for free. With their help, Li Family Village was able to save time to cultivate more land and have a better harvest. Since then, they have never experienced famine. The Qingshan Sect would even buy their surplus grain from them with spirit stones. The older generation had refused the spirit stones, but the Qingshan Sect would just leave the spirit stones and take the goods without giving the villagers a chance to refuse. They were truly grateful to the disciples of the Qingshan Sect.

The disciples cooperated very well, and the old village chief quickly made the assignments.

Ye Lan stood at the back and was the last to be assigned a task. The old village chief led him to a little boy who looked to be less than ten years old, like a little bean sprout.

The old village chief held the little bean sprout's hand and explained to him, "Young master, this child is called Li Qing. Now, only he and his sister are left in his family. There are two empty rooms in their house. There are no adults at home, so please forgive us if there is anything we cannot take care of."

Ye Lan didn't care where she stayed, and quickly waved her hand, "It's fine."

The old village chief sighed, "These two children have had a tough life. Their parents were attacked by wild animals last year, and their grandparents are long gone. Now they are the only two left in the family, and they have only survived thanks to everyone's help."

Unexpectedly, this happened. Seeing the little bean sprout's hands tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, Ye Lan bent down and patted his head: "I hope you will take good care of me."

Li Qing looked up at Ye Lan. This older brother looked so handsome and had such a good temper. He murmured an "Mmm".

"Young Master, why don't you and Li Qing come to our house for dinner? This kid doesn't have much food at home, and our house is spacious enough for us to eat together." The old village chief instructed Ye Lan and Little Bean Sprout as they were leaving. "Little Qing, remember to bring your sister and Young Master to your Grandpa Li's house for dinner."

Ye Lan gently agreed.

When they arrived at Li Qing's house, they saw a little girl waiting at the door. As soon as she saw them, she ran over, calling "Brother!"

Li Qing hugged his sister who was rushing towards him, saying, "Slow down, your brother is here."

Li Qing took his sister's hand and said, "This is my sister Li Chuchu, and this is Brother Ye. Say hello to them."

On the way here, Ye Lan introduced herself to him and told him to just call her "brother" and not to keep calling her "little master".

Li Chuchu hid behind her brother, blinking her eyes as she looked at Ye Lan: "Brother Ye!"

Ye Lan patted her head and took out a bag of pastries that Jiang Ning had given him last night from his spatial storage. Jiang Ning was worried that he wouldn't be used to the food here, so she specially gave him several bags. Now they came in handy. Ye Lan handed them to Chu Chu.

Li Chuchu looked at her brother, wanting to eat but not daring to take it. Seeing her brother shake his head at her, she quickly waved her hand and said, "Chuchu isn't hungry, thank you, brother."

Ye Lan placed it directly into her hands: "A gift from an elder should not be refused. This is a gift from your brother Ye; you should share it with him."

The little girl held the pastries and looked at her brother. Li Qing nodded helplessly and looked at Ye Lan, saying, "Thank you, Brother Ye."

"Thank you, Brother Ye!"

Li Chuchu chirped, "This big brother is so nice, as handsome and kind as a fairy."

The two little kids had already tidied up the house. When Ye Lan came in, she saw a small yard in front of the room, which was full of vegetables, and an old hen was kept next to the kitchen.

He asked Li Qing to take him to his room so he could get acquainted with it, and then asked Li Qing to take him to the kitchen. When they arrived at the village, the villagers were already waiting for them, presumably because the two children hadn't eaten yet.

Li Qing thought he was hungry, so she quickly took out the eggs she had collected that day and the pancakes that the village chief had given her.

Ye Lan waved her hand: "Do you have any flour here?"

"Yes, we have both flour and rice." Li Qing said, leading him to the rice bins, where there was a bin of rice and a bin of flour.

Ye Lan nodded: "How about I make you some egg noodles today?"

He had previously bought a lot of seasonings at the canteen, which were all stored in his spatial storage, so he wasn't worried about not being able to make this simple clear broth egg noodle dish well.

"it is good!"

Li Qing answered loudly. After getting used to it, he gradually showed the behavior of a child, unlike before when he acted like a little adult.

Ye Lan rolled up his sleeves and started working. He needed to knead the dough first, and then let it rest for a while. During the resting time, he could pick some vegetables.

Ye Lan worked quickly and finished the dough in no time. Li Qing tried to help but couldn't. After finishing the dough, Ye Lan took the little boy to the courtyard to pick vegetables.

The vegetables in the courtyard were lush and green. Ye Lan had just picked a handful of bok choy when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who is it?" Li Qing opened the door and found a very tall young master standing outside.

Ye Lan turned around and saw Jiang Ning. He raised an eyebrow slightly. How did this person find his way here?

Jiang Ning pointed at Ye Lan: "I'm here to find that brother."

Li Qing turned around and let him in. Jiang Ning closed the door for him before walking towards Ye Lan.

Ye Lan looked at him: "What is it?"

"It's nothing, I just came to check on you because I was worried you might not be used to it," Jiang Ning replied. It seemed that this person was not uncomfortable at all and was quite at ease.

Ye Lan weighed the vegetables in her hand and asked him, "We're going to cook noodles, do you want some?"

He had made enough dough earlier, so he planned to save it for tomorrow morning and not have to work on it again; it would be enough for one more person.

"it is good."

Originally, I just wanted to take a look, but when he extended an invitation, I unconsciously accepted.

Ye Lan picked some more green vegetables, because children should eat more vegetables, and adults should too.

Ye Lan washed the vegetables by the well in the courtyard before returning to the kitchen. He needed to stretch the dough into thin noodles, as they would have a better texture.

Ye Lan cut the noodles into even lengths, then fried four eggs and added water to make broth. Fearing it would take too long, he asked Jiang Ning to use his spiritual power to speed up the broth's cooking process.

With Jiang Ning's help, the broth quickly turned white. Ye Lan took out four large bowls, washed them, added a small spoonful of lard and a spoonful of soy sauce to each bowl, added a spoonful of broth to melt the lard, then put in the blanched noodles and vegetables, topped with an egg, and the simple version of Yangchun noodles was ready.

Ye Lan asked Li Qing to call her sister, and the group ate noodles at the kitchen table. Jiang Ning had a big appetite, so his bowl was filled to the brim with noodles.

Ye Lan added an egg while kneading the dough, which made the noodles chewy. The two adults ate without talking, while the two little kids slurped their noodles.

After his parents were murdered, Li Qing never ate such delicious noodles again. He and his sister always cooked for themselves. Thinking of his parents, he couldn't help but tear up and rub his eyes silently.

The two adults noticed, and Ye Lan didn't know how to comfort him, so Jiang Ning teased Li Qing, asking him if he was curious about what it would look like from mid-air, and that he would take him flying around on a sword later.

Li Qing nodded obediently, not thinking about what had happened before. After finishing his meal, he wanted to help Ye Lan and the others wash the dishes, saying that he couldn't trouble his older brother so much. Ye Lan went with him.

After they finished washing up, Jiang Ning indeed took Li Qing to fly on his sword. Li Qing wasn't afraid of heights and was still excited when they came down. Ye Lan saw his sister looking curious and asked Jiang Ning to take her for a spin as well. Since his cultivation level wasn't as high as Jiang Ning's, Jiang Ning could better protect the child.

After flying around for a while, the two little kids were very happy, chattering and praising Jiang Ning for his skill. Ye Lan couldn't help but sigh that Jiang Ning was indeed very charismatic; even children who didn't know his identity liked him.

Just then, Su Bo called them to gather at the village entrance from outside the courtyard. It turned out that Elder Shanqiu had asked the village chief to teach them farming so as not to waste time learning it the next morning.
