Cangwu Mountain.

It was already evening when Shen Yifei jumped off Leng Rushuang's flying boat.

The setting sun bathed the entire mountain in gold, and from a distance, it truly resembled a blessed land of immortals.

"Miss Leng, thank you." Shen Yifei cupped his hands to Leng Rushuang on the flying boat. "Come to Cangwu Mountain in three days to get the medicine. I guarantee it will cure your illness."

Leng Rushuang stood at the front of the flying boat, her veil fluttering gently in the evening breeze.

"I'll come to pick it up in three days." Her voice remained icy. "If you can't produce the medicine by then, you know the consequences."

Shen Yifei chuckled twice. "Miss Leng, don't worry, even if I forget my own name, I would never forget your medicine."

Leng Rushuang didn't speak again, turned around and went back to the cabin. The flying boat slowly rose into the air, changed direction and flew towards the Western Regions.

Shen Yifei stood at the mountain gate, watching the flying boat disappear into the horizon, before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Master, you've made quite a bit of money on this trip." Liu Mengli floated out of the cauldron and perched on his shoulder. "You offended Lu Ya, crippled Ye Wuhen, and even managed to seduce a palace master in the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm."

"Offending one is the same as offending two." Shen Yifei walked up the mountain. "Anyway, we'll settle accounts sooner or later, so it doesn't matter whether we offend them sooner or later."

"So what do we do next?"

"What's next?" Shen Yifei thought for a moment. "Go back to sleep first, I'm exhausted these past two days. Then I'll refine pills to detoxify Leng Rushuang. After that, I'll try to improve my cultivation level. Right now, I'm nothing compared to Lu Yazi and Ye Qianqiu."

Back in the main hall, Shen Yifei looked at his dilapidated place and thought about Lu Ya's Golden Crow Sect.

Not only were the decorations lavish, but the food and drinks were also rare delicacies. Although cultivators do not indulge in gluttony, being able to produce such things still shows the grandeur of a major sect.

Shen Yifei decided that the next step was to renovate the main hall and collect fine wines and delicacies, so that if the Tianyan Sect held any kind of grand event in Cangwu Mountain in the future, it would definitely be more impressive than the Jinwu Sect's.

"Master, Xinghe wants to come out and take a look," Liu Mengli called out from inside the cauldron.

With a thought, Shen Yifei caused a flash of white light, and Xinghe appeared in the main hall.

Shen Yifei was just about to ask her some questions. Ever since he brought this girl out of Huangquan Valley, he hadn't really gotten to know her properly.

The girl still looked the same, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with big eyes, a round face, and two dimples. She was wearing clothes that Liu Mengli had altered for her, with the sleeves rolled up twice and the hem of her skirt folded up, making her look like a little maid.

"Brother!" Xinghe rushed over and hugged Shen Yifei's arm as soon as she came out. "I was so suffocated in there. Sister Mengli wouldn't let me out, saying there were bad people outside."

"There are no bad guys now, come out for some fresh air." Shen Yifei patted her head. "Xinghe, I have something to ask you."

"Brother, ask away."

"How do you know so much about medicine? When I was at the Golden Crow Sect, you could tell the poison in Leng Rushuang's body at a glance. Who taught you that?"

"Brother, I learned it from a book," he said, pulling a book from his pocket. "I read it whenever I was bored. If you ask me where this book came from, I don't know. It's been with me as long as I can remember."

Shen Yifei looked at the book; it had a black cover, and the material was probably made of some kind of animal hide.

Shen Yifei took the book and turned to the first page.

The characters on it were crooked and curved, like tadpoles or bird claws, densely packed together. He stared at them for a long time, but couldn't recognize a single one.

"What kind of characters are these?" Shen Yifei flipped through the book, which was full of these tadpole-like characters, with a few illustrations occasionally showing the meridians and acupoints of the human body.

"I don't know what it's called either." Xinghe leaned closer and flipped to one of the pages. "Brother, look here. This character means 'poison,' this character means 'antidote,' and this character means 'elixir.'"

Shen Yifei looked in the direction of her small hand, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Can you understand it?"

"Yes, I can." Xinghe blinked her big eyes. "It's like I was born knowing these words."

Shen Yifei turned to the last page of the book, where a picture was drawn.

The pattern is very complex, like a magic array. In the center is a circle, inside which is drawn a human figure, surrounded by densely packed small characters and symbols.

"What is this?"

Xinghe scratched her head. "Brother, the only thing I don't understand in this book is this picture. I don't know what it depicts."

Shen Yifei closed the book and returned it to Xinghe.

It seems I've struck gold this time. This little girl is my personal doctor; she can solve any difficult or complicated problem I encounter.

"Xinghe, when you have time, could you teach me to recognize the characters on this?"

"Okay!" Xinghe smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescents. "If brother wants to learn, I'll teach him."

Liu Mengli floated out of the cauldron, circled around Xinghe, and clicked her tongue twice, "This little girl is really capable; she actually recognizes ancient characters."

"Are these ancient characters?"

"Hmm, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before..." Liu Mengli thought for a while, but couldn't remember.

Shen Yifei took Xinghe's little hand and said, "Come on, let your brother show you around our Tianyan Sect."

Xinghe jumped up and down excitedly, then pulled Shen Yifei and ran outside. She was so bored inside the Cauldron of Myriad Things that she wanted to get out and get some fresh air.

The main peak of Cangwu Mountain remains dilapidated, with many areas unable to be repaired in time.

After Gu Yunyan suppressed the demonic vein, the spiritual energy recovered considerably. The mist in the mountains was no longer cold and biting, but instead gave Cangwu Mountain a somewhat ethereal feel.

Shen Yifei held Xinghe's little hand and walked around the main peak. The little girl found everything interesting. She would squat down to pick a blade of grass and smell it, or chase after a butterfly and run a few steps, giggling non-stop.

"Brother, this place is so big!" Xinghe looked up at the dilapidated hall atop the main peak. "It's much bigger than Yellow Springs Valley!"

"It's big, but it's dilapidated. When my brother has money, he'll renovate this place and make it even more magnificent than the Golden Crow Sect."

"Then I want the biggest room!" Xinghe gestured with her two little hands. "A big, really, really big one!"

Shen Yifei was amused by her and patted her head. "Okay, the biggest one is yours."

When the two returned to the main hall, Luo Qinghe came out from the back of the hall, carrying a basin of washed spiritual fruits. He was stunned when he saw Xinghe.

Today, Luo Qinghe wore a light blue long dress, her hair was simply tied up in a bun, with a few strands of hair hanging down by her ears, making her look more casual than usual.

Before she could even speak to Shen Yifei, she saw Xinghe peeking out from behind him, and her eyes lit up immediately.

"This is……"

"Oh, her name is Xinghe. I found her in the Valley of the Underworld." Shen Yifei pulled Xinghe out from behind him. "Xinghe, this is Luo Qinghe, my wife."

"Wife? How can such a beautiful woman be my wife?" Xinghe blinked her big eyes, looking completely puzzled.

"Oh, my wife is my daughter-in-law..."

Xinghe still didn't understand.

Luo Qinghe looked at Xinghe in front of him. She was fair-skinned, with a round face, big eyes, two dimples when she smiled, and a soft, gentle voice, like a little kitten.

She liked it so much at first sight that she snatched Xinghe from Shen Yifei's hands and said, "Call me Sister Luo."

"Hello, Sister Luo, you're so beautiful." Xinghe's lips were as sweet as honey.

Luo Qinghe was so happy she couldn't stop smiling; Shen Yifei had never seen her laugh like that before.

Luo Qinghe looked at Xinghe's outfit and said, "Who dressed you like this? You look like you're in a theatrical performance. Come on, let me change you into new clothes."

After saying that, he led Xinghe away.

Seeing that Xinghe was being taken care of, Shen Yifei thought to himself that he should go to Gu Yunyan's place. It was once a month, and he had already broken his promise.
