Senior sister, stop working and go home for dinner.

She picked up a flat stone and skipped it across the water beautifully. The stone bounced five or six times on the surface before sinking to the bottom.

"You see, sometimes changing your perspective and using a little ingenuity can take you further. I called you out today to relax! Maybe inspiration... uh, I mean, a sudden realization will come right away!"

Little Bell seemed to understand, but nodded vigorously: "Junior Uncle is the best! After a rest, he'll definitely break through!"

As Chen Anran listened to Feng Xiaolu's words and watched her skipping stones, he seemed to be deep in thought.

Indeed, he had been too eager for quick results over the past two weeks, and his mind was constantly tense, which ultimately led to a decline in his cultivation. Cultivation is not only about accumulating spiritual power, but also about tempering one's state of mind.

He took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air and slowly exhaled, feeling as if the knot in his chest had loosened considerably. He smiled and reached out to ruffle Little Bell's hair: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I don't want to cultivate today; I'll just play with you."

"That's more like it!" Feng Xiaolu picked up the fishing net again, full of fighting spirit. "I refuse to believe we won't catch a single fish today! Xiaoling'er, let's keep going!"

As the sun set, it cast long shadows of the three people along the stream.

A dozen or so shimmering silver threadfin fish appeared in the bucket. Although most of them were still Chen Anran's catch, Feng Xiaolu and Xiaoling'er finally had their own catches, their faces flushed with excitement.

On the way back, Feng Xiaolu carried a bucket of water, humming a tuneless little tune. Xiaoling'er held Chen Anran's hand, chattering about the fun she had just had catching fish.

As they passed the bustling construction site at the foot of the mountain, the cacophony of machinery and voices once again assaulted their senses.

Many of the original villagers are now wearing safety helmets and uniforms, busy directing vehicles or cooperating with construction.

Some villagers also sell boxed lunches or daily necessities at the entrance of the construction site.

"Uncle Liu! Aunt Wang!" Little Ling'er, with her sharp eyes, saw the familiar villagers and happily waved to greet them.

The villagers, who were called Uncle Liu and Aunt Wang, turned around and saw that it was Chen Anran and his group. Their faces immediately lit up with warm and even respectful smiles.

Previously, they did not know the identities of Chen Anran and his group, but thanks to the propaganda of Fatty Li and the other bosses, they also learned that the family on the mountain was not an ordinary person, but cultivators from the Yunyin Sect.

They also learned that the big bosses had amassed this enormous fortune for the "gods" on the mountain, and that they had also benefited from it, living a life they never dared to dream of before.

Aunt Wang came over carrying a thermos and enthusiastically stuffed it into Xiaoling'er's hands: "Oh, Xiaoling'er, take this, Auntie just made some mung bean soup, it'll help you cool down in the summer!"

Little Bell held the warm thermos and sweetly thanked her, "Thank you, Aunt Wang!"

Feng Xiaolu grinned and shook the bucket in her hand: "Uncle Liu and Aunt Wang, look at the fish we caught! We'll grill them tonight!"

"Good, good, good! Silver threadfin bream is good stuff!" Uncle Liu nodded repeatedly, and said respectfully, "Thanks to you all, our lives are getting better and better. The resettlement conditions provided by Boss Zhao and the others are excellent, and we can even find work right here in our neighborhood..."

Chen Anran frowned slightly. "Didn't they give you some compensation? Why are you still looking for work?"

Uncle Liu rubbed his hands together and replied with a simple, honest smile, "Boss Zhao and the others gave us a lot of money, enough for our family to live comfortably for the rest of our lives. But we farmers can't stay idle! Now this construction site is right at our doorstep, the work isn't heavy, and the wages are high, so everyone is happy to come. Besides, seeing 'Hidden Immortal Traces' change every day makes us happy, and we feel like we've contributed, right?"

Aunt Wang chimed in, "Yes, yes, we used to just have a few acres of mountain land, we never imagined we'd be where we are today. Now things are much better, it's easier for the children to go to school, and we have things to do, so we feel at ease."

Chen Anran nodded upon hearing this.

For these simple and honest villagers, a stable and prosperous life is certainly important, but participating in the construction of their homes and witnessing the changes can also bring them great satisfaction and a sense of belonging.

"I see. If everyone thinks it's good, then that's good." Chen Anran smiled.

At this moment, Feng Xiaolu patted Chen Anran on the shoulder, gestured towards the construction site, and said, "Your little apprentice is at the construction site."

Chen Anran was slightly taken aback before realizing who his "little apprentice" was. He sighed and said, "When did I ever say I was going to take her as an apprentice? Why didn't you?"

Feng Xiaolu chuckled and said, "You know I'm very busy and don't have time to teach disciples. Second Senior Sister is studying away from home, and Eldest Senior Sister is teaching Xiao Ling'er, so isn't you, Junior Brother, the most suitable?"

Chen Anran sighed and looked in the direction Feng Xiaolu pointed. He saw Zhao Mengmeng wearing a light sportswear outfit and a yellow hard hat. She was looking at blueprints with several engineers and occasionally pointing at something.

"Let's go take a look."

As Chen Anran and his companions approached, they overheard Zhao Mengmeng instructing a staff member responsible for taking notes: "...The internet cafe's equipment must be top-of-the-line, the environment must be comfortable, and the VIP area must be quiet. Also, the bar needs a well-stocked drink menu, especially for baijiu (Chinese liquor)..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Chen Anran and the others. Her face immediately lit up with a bright smile, and she quickly came over to greet them: "You guys... went fishing?" Her eyes lit up when she saw the silver threadfin fish swimming in the bucket in Feng Xiaolu's hand.

"Yes, Sister Mengmeng! Junior Uncle is going to grill fish for us tonight!" Little Bell proudly held up the bucket.

"Then I'm in for a treat!" Zhao Mengmeng said with a smile, then looked at Chen Anran somewhat shyly, and then at Feng Xiaolu, whose eyes were shining. "Master Chen, Master Feng, I was discussing some of the resort's supporting entertainment facilities with the engineers. I was thinking that since we're going to create a top-notch resort, in addition to natural scenery and wellness, we also need some... well, modern leisure activities."

Feng Xiaolu couldn't wait to get close to Zhao Mengmeng, put her arm around her shoulder, and excitedly pointed at the blueprints: "Mengmeng, tell me more about the internet cafe and bar you mentioned earlier!"

Seeing that Feng Xiaolu was interested, Zhao Mengmeng immediately perked up and explained in detail: "I plan to build a high-end internet cafe in the commercial street. Not only will the hardware be top-notch, but the environment will also be first-class to ensure... um, to ensure an excellent gaming experience." As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Feng Xiaolu and saw that the corners of her mouth were almost stretched to her ears, which made her feel even more confident.

"The bar is positioned as elegant and classy, ​​a place where you can enjoy drinks, chat, and listen to light music. As for the drinks, we'll select them from all over the world, especially some of our local fine wines, and we'll also have some high-quality ones." Zhao Mengmeng said while observing Feng Xiaolu's reaction.

"Great! This is fantastic!" Feng Xiaolu exclaimed excitedly, patting Zhao Mengmeng's shoulder vigorously. "Mengmeng, you understand me so well! No, you understand market demand so well! High-end internet cafes! Quality bars! Just thinking about it is exciting! We'll have somewhere to go for entertainment when we go down the mountain!"

She turned to Chen Anran, winking at him, "Junior Brother, look how much effort Mengmeng put in! This resort is practically tailor-made for our Yunyin Sect!"

Chen Anran crossed his arms and said, "You dare to drink in the sect?"

Little Ling'er blinked and chimed in, "If Master finds out Third Uncle drinks, he's doomed!"
