Last night she practiced seriously - and incidentally took a bath, no need to stand in the center of the Spirit Field, she could control the falling spot of the Cloud Rain Skill.

During this, the young cultivator got two large bundles of weeds from other cultivators who didn't need them.

After finishing the work, the two walked down the mountain together.

The young cultivator walked in front, carrying the weeds with a pole, while Xian'er carried a small bundle on her back with a grass rope.

She watched from behind, thinking no matter what, the young cultivator didn't look like someone who makes ten thousand silver a day.

She couldn't help but ask, "One Spirit Crystal can be exchanged for ten thousand silver, why not hire people to help?"

"To save money," the young cultivator said matter-of-factly.

"Save money? Ten thousand silver could hire people to weed and water for a lifetime!"

"I want to become a formal Alchemist, a book 'Alchemy Introduction' costs twenty Spirit Stones, a furnace not graded costs five Spirit Stones, and the most basic Hemostatic Pill materials cost ten Spirit Crystals each, even if you have talent, it takes at least a hundred tries to succeed the first time."

Xian'er was a bit shocked by the cost of this alchemy.

But she was even more puzzled.

"Precisely because of this, if you hire people to do these things, you can free up some time to do other things, like setting up a stall, cultivating, reading," she said.

"Setting up a stall is like waiting for a rabbit, entirely dependent on luck, these past two days I got lucky, normally I might not sell anything in half a month, so it's not worth spending time on it, only when I have nothing else to do, I go to set up a stall."

"Cultivation exhausts the spirit, it must be done with relaxation in moderation, forced cultivation will only lead to deviation."

"Reading? No money."

"Spirit Rice and Spirit Vegetables are my stable income, my main source of revenue, how can I trust mortals with it? That wouldn't be different from spending one silver to hire someone to manage millions of gold, I'd rather tire myself."

Xian'er said no more.

They reached the bottom of the mountain, and this time the young cultivator gave her two baskets of buns.

Before returning to the yard, the young cultivator hesitated for a moment, saying, "You seem to not understand anything?"

"Yes, yes, I don't understand anything, can you teach me, sister?" Xian'er tried to grab the other's arm.

This was her survival tactic in Master Liu's house, acting cute in front of the miss and maid.

The young cultivator retreated repeatedly, "Stop, you stand back!"

The two were three meters apart.

"You really don't know anything." The young cultivator pursed her lips, "I realized yesterday when I saw you wandering around with six Spirit Stones."

"Is it because I showed off wealth?" Xian'er did understand a bit.

"Six Spirit Stones are fine, but if you're wandering with ten Spirit Stones, there'll be people waiting outside the market to rob you."

"Ah?"

Seeing Xian'er's silly expression, the young cultivator suddenly felt a pride in being a teacher.

She said, "Also, with your Cloud Rain Skill, without a protective means, it's better not to expose even six Spirit Stones... though you're pretty, which brings danger even without money."

Xian'er sighed, "It's precisely because I'm good-looking that Master Liu wanted me to warm his feet, that's why I ran away."

"...Shameless." The young cultivator muttered, "Goodbye!"

"Hey, wait, what's your name?"

"Jiang Xiaoyue."

"Hello, Sister Xiaoyue." Xian'er said with a smile.

Jiang Xiaoyue had to admit, this snake indeed looked like a ghost, eerily beautiful.

"I might not even be older than you, so what's your name?"

"..."

"Hmm?"

"... Xian'er."

"Shen Xian'er?"

"Immortal, the Immortal's Immortal, Xian'er."

They stared at each other.

"Hahahahahaha!" Jiang Xiaoyue laughed, leaning on the courtyard door supported by the Jade Token.

Xian'er's face was flushed.

[Hahahaha!] Li Changzhou never missed a chance to tease her.

"Who gave you this name? Is that person out of their mind? Hahahahaha!"

[...] Li Changzhou's laughter subsided.

Unexpectedly, Xian'er didn't express revenge, she clasped her hands and said, "It was God who named me, He said it will definitely lead me to become an Immortal."

"Become Immortal?" Jiang Xiaoyue still wanted to say something, "Oh, no, my stomach hurts from laughing, hahaha..."

The relationship between the two thus took a step further.

On Spirit Field Mountain, the sound of 'Xian'er~', 'Xian'er~' could be heard every day, so the whole mountain knew a girl called 'Xian'er' had arrived.

Even in the market, this news spread.

This girl claimed to be a 'girl serving God', becoming a subject of dinner table talk for a time.

Every household would mention this when naming their children, laughing and taking it as a lesson.

A group of young people even talked about teaching her a lesson for daring to call herself Immortal... but upon seeing Xian'er, they thought: This girl truly looks like a Heavenly Immortal.

If Xian'er weren't living in a Green Moon Sect courtyard, clinging to her Jade Token upon meeting people, and with Jiang Xiaoyue carrying a pole to protect, she might really have been seized.

Yet Xian'er often heard God lamenting about it.

Saying something like 'Lost an opportunity to kill and seize treasure', 'Immortal cultivation is all about killing and seizing treasure, why cultivate if not to kill and seize treasure'.

Sometimes Xian'er would wonder, is God really a God? Why does he constantly talk about killing and seizing treasure?

During this period, Xian'er was very happy, no longer having to serve anyone, and every day went up and down the mountain with Jiang Xiaoyue, sometimes lying on the ridge chatting.

Three months later, they carried their bedding and dried food up the mountain.

"In two days, the Spirit Rice and Spirit Vegetables will be harvested, we'll sleep on the mountain at night," Jiang Xiaoyue said.

"I understand, I understand, farmers sleep in the fields to guard the crops!"

"Exactly right." Jiang Xiaoyue nodded, then smiled, "Thanks to you, Xian'er, I should harvest ten to twenty percent more than usual this year."

"Hehe, I'm awesome, right." Xian'er said innocently.

"Cut it out, you only learned the Cloud Rain Skill, it doesn't have much to do with you personally."
