The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1049 The Little Martial Uncle Who Doesn't Know the Cost of Firewood, Rice, Oil, and Salt

With his junior uncle around, Xin Fu was less worried about the safety of Qingfeng Temple and was able to find time to study the Bagua mirror in his hand.

Back at his lodgings, Xin Fu saw that the room was still neat and clean, and a warm feeling immediately welled up in his heart.

It's so nice to feel that no matter how far he goes or how long he's gone, there's still a place for him here.

Xin Fu calmly took a bath and carefully groomed himself.

He then sat down on the sofa and took out the Bagua mirror that Master Huaiyi had given him earlier.

Just looking at it, the Bagua mirror doesn't seem to have anything special about it.

However, Xin Fu was certain that this Bagua mirror was definitely not ordinary.

Thinking this, Xin Fu reached out and took a magical artifact, which he had obtained from an evil cultivator who wanted to steal their talismans.

Xin Fu forcefully smashed the magical artifact directly at the Bagua mirror.

The Bagua mirror was intact, but the magical artifact in his hand was shattered into several pieces.

Xinfu: ...

If he hadn't used this magical artifact before, he might actually think it was just a decoration.

Xin Fu's eyes immediately lit up as he looked at the Bagua mirror in his hand. He was right; this thing was truly extraordinary.

"This level of magical artifact is something that other families, unless they are core members, simply cannot obtain!"

At this moment, Xin Fu felt more and more that his choice to follow the abbot was simply a blessing from his ancestors.

After putting away the Bagua mirror, Xinfu changed into clean clothes and planned to go down the mountain again.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard a knock on the door.

Upon opening the door, he saw a person dressed in the uniform of Qingfeng Temple standing at his door, carrying a food box containing meals.

"Second Steward, this is a meal specially prepared for you by the kitchen staff."

As the man spoke, he lifted the lid of the food box.

As he got closer, Xinfu could smell the aroma of food and a faint scent of medicine.

"This is?"

He didn't try to avoid people when he returned, so it wasn't surprising that the people in the kitchen of Qingfeng Temple knew he was back.

However, I always felt that these meals didn't quite seem like they were meant for him.

Faced with Xin Fu's doubts, the man smiled and explained, "These are medicinal herbs that Master Huaiyi specially selected from the abbot's storeroom."

This is a sample for you; it's remarkably effective in treating hidden injuries and is also very helpful in strengthening muscles and bones.

What the man didn't say was that Master Huaiyi recognized them all at a glance; they were all veterans of the battlefield.

Everyone has some hidden wounds that can never be healed.

That's why they specifically prescribed some medicines to treat their hidden injuries.

They've only been taking it for a few days, and their chronic illnesses have clearly improved somewhat.

If in the past they were loyal to Qingfeng Temple because of the substantial rewards they received, then...

Now, they truly consider Qingfeng Temple their home.

Xin Fu paused only for a moment before taking the food box from the man's hand.

"Okay, I understand, you go down first."

After the man left, Xinfu placed the food from the food box on the stone table in his small courtyard.

There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes. Then, little by little, he ate all the food, leaving nothing behind.

Those who did odd jobs at Qingfeng Temple were not members of the Xuanmen sect, even though they felt their bodies gradually improving.

However, their senses were much, much slower than Xinfu's.

At this moment, Xin Fu clearly felt the medicinal power entering his body.

The medicine's effects were absorbed into the bloodstream and quickly spread throughout the body.

His internal injuries weren't too serious. After all, he was still young and quite strong, so even if he was injured, it couldn't be fatal.

Therefore, after just one meal, the hidden injuries on his body were enveloped by the effects of the medicine and began to recover in a positive direction.

Thinking back, he realized that he had spent a lot of money and favors, but still hadn't fully healed his injuries.

Is this the difference between rare and precious medicinal herbs and ordinary medicinal materials?
"No wonder those mystical families and powerful clans have such a tight grip on the mining and sale of rare and precious materials. The healing effect is simply astonishing!"

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Xinfu soon descended the mountain again.

Now that there's a protective mountain formation and Master Huaiyi is stationed inside Qingfeng Temple, he doesn't need to worry about so much.

We can wholeheartedly investigate who is so insidious as to incite so many people to cause trouble for Qingfeng Temple!
Once he finds the person, he'll definitely skin them alive!

At this moment, Yunran had no idea about the rare and precious materials she had painstakingly collected (extorted).

And just like that, her little uncle, who didn't know the value of firewood and rice, gave it away.

She walked for a long time, still covered in sweat, before finally finding a pool of water.

"Master, I'll go check it out first!"

The little paper man was afraid that the pool was not clean and that there were some messy things in it.

The little paper figure's voice hadn't even faded from Yunran's ears when she saw it plunge into the water with a 'plop'.

A moment later, the little paper figure popped its head out and pulled out several poisonous snakes.

"Master, we're safe now~"

As he spoke, the little paper figure flicked his hand, and several venomous snakes flew far away in parabolic arcs.

The snakes thought they were doomed, but to their surprise, the other party simply tossed them far away.

Having narrowly escaped death, the venomous snake immediately darted into the grass and quickly disappeared.

Yunran untied her hair and jumped into the water.

The little paper figure diligently guarded the intersection, resolutely preventing anyone or any living being from approaching.

Even when a few small birds flew over, they were driven away by the little paper figures.

"Hmph, no one is allowed to get close and disturb my master's bath!"

As soon as the little paper figure finished speaking, a noisy sound came from not far away.

The little paper figure's tiny eyes widened instantly, and it grabbed a leaf from the side and used it to shield itself.

There's no need to hide yourself from snakes, insects, rats, ants, flowers, birds, fish, and paper figures.

However, it cannot easily reveal its presence when facing humans; it is its master's backup plan.

As the sounds drew closer, the little paper figure finally saw them clearly.

About two kilometers away from the pool, there were seven or eight people walking this way.

Each of them carried a large basket on their back, which seemed to be filled with quite a lot of things.
