After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 50 Guess what?

Why doesn't she want to tell her parents that she now has extraordinary methods and the ability to make a lot of money?

It's because she lacks confidence and knows her mother's character. If her mother knew she had such abilities, she wouldn't be so enthusiastic about helping outsiders.

But for some relatives, whether out of a desire to smugness or some other motive, she would definitely be extremely enthusiastic. However, this enthusiasm would exhaust Bailu, in case she didn't handle things well...

Actually, she's quite selfish. Apart from her own family and her maternal grandmother's family, she doesn't care about any other relatives who live far away and don't visit each other during holidays.

"Miss Bai? How can I help you?"

Upon seeing Bailu walking back, the doorman immediately came out to greet her. Bailu didn't waste any words and explained that she wanted to pack five dishes to go, asking the doorman to help her place the order.

Director Wang and his group have already gone back. It's fine for them to pack up their food, but if they eat at the restaurant, it would be a slap in Director Wang's face—Director Wang didn't let the guests eat their fill!
If some busybody were to stir up trouble, then Director Wang would truly be exposed online.

When it came time to pay the bill, Qin Fei insisted on doing it herself.

After all, no matter how useless she is, she can't let her little cousin pay the bill!

But the five-figure bill really hurt her.

"Sister Fei!"

As Bailu was carrying the packed food out, she suddenly heard someone call out "Cousin," and she turned around with Lingfei.

"Tingting?"

Wang Lanting was the one who organized the gathering.

But she didn't go to Director Wang's "gathering" on a whim, so she sent a message to Wang Lanting saying she couldn't go anymore, thinking they had gone back!
"what's wrong with you?"

Wang Lanting whispered something to her, but didn't dwell on the matter. She even introduced Qin Fei to Assistant Director Zhang: "Director Zhang, this is Qin Fei, whom I told you about who couldn't come because of something. If there's a suitable role, we'll have to ask for your help!"

Assistant Director Zhang glanced at her, smiled politely and nodded calmly: "No problem, no problem."

She glanced at Bai Lu and Bai Xiao a couple more times, then left surrounded by a group of girls; apparently, they had a new activity planned.

Qin Fei didn't participate. She took Bai Lu and Bai Xiao to her home, which was a two-bedroom apartment rented for her by the company. The location wasn't great, but the transportation was quite convenient.

The three of them carried a delivery bag worth tens of thousands of yuan and squeezed onto the subway for half an hour before finally getting back.

She placed the delivery bag on the dining table, smiled and told Bai Xiao to make herself at home, then pulled Bai Lu inside for a heart-to-heart talk.

Bai Lu had actually been thinking about how to explain this the whole way: "Sister Fei Fei, you know, our family has a mountain, and on the mountain is a temple, and in the temple is an old... old Taoist priest! For a while, I was quite obsessed with cultivating Taoism, and the old Taoist priest saw that I had potential, so he taught me, and guess what? Hey, I learned it!"

Qin Fei: "..."

It is reasonable yet absurd, and absurd yet reasonable.

This is... hard to judge!

She suddenly remembered the strange incidents surrounding Director Wang's new drama that had been making headlines online recently. Something clicked in her mind, and she immediately started searching for Director Wang. The search results that popped up were—

#Shocking! Ghosts are causing trouble in Director Wong's new drama!#
#Accidents keep happening on the set of Director Wang's new drama, a young stuntman died suddenly. Aren't stunt actors' lives valuable?#
#Director Wang just made an official announcement, filming will proceed as scheduled#
and many more.

The more Qin Fei looked, the more she pondered: "Could it be that you solved the troubles for Director Wang's new film crew?"

She seemed to understand why Bai Lu was so respected by Director Wang!

"Not entirely, there's also the old Taoist priest!" Bai Lu wasn't lying; the old Taoist priest Qingxu deserves a great deal of credit!

It took Qin Fei a while to accept this reality: "I've never heard your mother mention this before. Are you a complete beginner?"

"You could say that!" Bailu added, "I haven't told my mom about this yet! Don't let it slip!"

"Why? Why didn't you tell your mom?"

“Our country controls paranormal events, and a rudimentary approach is to make those who have experienced paranormal events sign confidentiality agreements.”

When they were at the Ancient Tower, Master Qingxu made everyone present sign a pledge that they could not reveal anything about what happened inside the Ancient Tower. If they violated this pledge, they would be held legally responsible, and the rules were quite tyrannical—if any information leaked, all two hundred people would be held accountable.

"So, now that you've told me, what are you going to do?"

Qin Fei immediately panicked, and her accent came out.

"This involves a sophisticated approach: once this comes out of my mouth and into your ears, it can never leave your mouth again."

Qin Fei: "...Speak like a human being!"

Bai Lu then explained further: "What I mean is, everything I'm telling you today, you can't say even if you wanted to, except in front of me."

"real or fake?"

"You can give it a try!"

"Shall I call your mom?"

"Go ahead and hit her!" Bailu said nonchalantly, but after a couple of seconds she hurriedly added, "Don't tell her I'm here—uh, I forgot, you can't tell her even if you want to."

Qin Fei: "?"

Does this seem so unreliable?

"Hey, Feifei! Have you eaten yet?"

When Qin Xiu answered the phone, Qin Fei tentatively asked, "Have you eaten? Where's Lulu?"

"You're looking for Lulu? Chenchen said she had an emergency and went out! You tried calling her but couldn't get through? Could something have happened?"

"No, no, no, nothing's wrong, she's—cough cough cough, she's—cough cough cough!"

She originally intended to say that it was here, but as soon as she started talking, she began to cough. At first, she didn't believe it and insisted on saying it, but in the end, she coughed up so much that her lungs felt like they were going to come out, her face turned red, and she couldn't breathe.

Hi!

Qin Fei's belated rebellious streak kicked in; since she couldn't speak, she decided to type!
However, typing the first character is fine, and typing two characters is fine, but when the sentence becomes long, especially if it involves egrets, the text becomes gibberish and cannot be sent.

She looked at the egret.

Convinced.

This is not something that can't be said! This is practically a death sentence!
Qin Fei's guess was actually correct; touching a high-level restriction would result in death.

But Bailu certainly wouldn't place such a restriction on Qin Fei, and she doesn't have that ability right now.

However, to prevent a blunder like the Heavenly Contract, the level of the restriction was raised slightly, and it does not rely entirely on the power of heaven and earth.

"Feifei?"

Qin Xiu heard Qin Fei coughing incessantly, and the cough was getting worse. She immediately became anxious: "Are you sick? You need to take good care of yourself while you're out and about. If you're really feeling unwell, you should go to the hospital to get checked out. Don't try to tough it out!"

"I understand, Auntie."

This has nothing to do with egrets; Qin Fei said it very smoothly.

After saying a few more words to her, Qin Xiu finally said, "Then you should get some rest. I'll call Lulu. I don't know what she's up to. She's still not back at this hour, and she didn't even call to let me know!"

Qin Fei hung up the phone, and Bai Lu's phone rang.

As Qin Fei watched Bai Lu calmly brush off her aunt, her thoughts began to wander. She knew that good masters were highly sought after in the entertainment industry, earning far more than famous actors!
After hanging up the phone, the two went out to eat. Bai Xiao was already asleep on the sofa. She was exhausted from a day of worry and anxiety.

The egret saved a portion for her, using its spiritual energy to lock in freshness and keep it warm, so that even if she ate it the next day, it would still taste just as delicious, especially the morel mushroom and shrimp stew.

Fresh shrimp are minced into shrimp paste, some of which is made into shrimp balls, and some is stuffed into morel mushrooms. It's then mixed with a secret sauce, turtle skirt, tendons, and sea cucumber, resulting in a dish that's both fresh and tender—a perfect accompaniment to rice. Previously, when there were many people around, Bailu was too shy to eat too heartily, but now that there are no outsiders, she's eating with gusto.

Qin Fei ate two bowls of rice like she was watching a mukbang, and then dared not eat anymore. How many actresses are not afraid of gaining weight? If she were to eat like Bai Lu, she would definitely be too fat to take on any roles in less than a month!

I envy those people who can eat whatever they want and not gain weight!
Especially as she gets older, she gains weight even from drinking a little water!
And I don't sleep well either!
Bad skin is bad enough, but hair loss too!
Then look at the egrets, it's truly infuriating to compare yourself to them!
"What's the matter?"

Bai Lu glanced at Qin Fei during a break from eating, and the latter's eyes lit up: "Lu Bao, you're a Taoist priest, right? Aren't Taoist priests best at alchemy? Does your Taoist temple have any beauty and health-enhancing, slimming and detoxifying pills without mercury? My cousin is getting old and urgently needs to take care of herself, otherwise in two years, let alone playing a stepmother, she'll probably only be able to choose from a bunch of old lady scripts!"

"Medicine pills? Let me ask around for you!"

Bai Lu does know alchemy, but she was once stuck in a rut and gave up on herself for a while. She wanted to explore other avenues and learned quite a bit, but she's not an expert!

Therefore, she couldn't guarantee that she would definitely succeed in making the pill.

"Thank you so much, sister!"

Qin Fei said happily, "Lu Lu, are you going to change careers in the future?"

"Yes, it's being changed!"

"Okay, if you run into any problems, I'll introduce you to clients."

Bai Lu paused for a moment: "Sister, I didn't switch to this line of work, I switched to farming. But once the vegetables in my field are grown, I'll send you some, and you can help promote them."

Qin Fei: "..."

Perhaps she ate too much and was having delirium?

Did they switch to farming?
Am I crazy or is she crazy?
Farming is a losing proposition these days!

Uh--

It seems that some of them don't even offer compensation. She suddenly remembered that when she went to a high-end supermarket, she saw cherries that cost 998 yuan a box.

If egrets were to cultivate land like this, they could certainly prosper.

"smell good!"

Bai Xiao suddenly sat up while sleeping. Awakened by the aroma, she joined the group of people who were eating. The three of them devoured five dishes and four servings of rice—half of which ended up in Bai Lu's stomach.

After a satisfying meal, Qin Fei saw Bai Lu and Bai Xiao off and then chuckled as she looked at the 50,000 yuan that had just been deposited into her Alipay account.

Lu Bao has grown up and can earn money for her older sister to spend.

She was quite emotional.

My aunt has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

The days to come will be even happier.

Bai Lu and Bai Xiao walked arm in arm back to her old apartment, which had one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom.

Although the house is a bit old, the decoration is quite nice, and with the addition of some furnishing for Bai Xiao, it has the warmth of a cozy little home.

"what--"

Bai Xiao collapsed onto the sofa as soon as she entered the room, letting out a long sigh: "What a rollercoaster of a day! Honey, do you know any cleaning techniques? Give me a go, I really don't want to wash my hair or take a shower..."

Bai Lu cast a dust-removing spell over, and Bai Xiao touched herself: "Is that all? I don't feel clean at all!"

Bai Xiao, who was impeccably clean, felt unhygienic and took another shower. She then had Bai Lu dry her hair and the two of them snuggled together in bed.

Bai Xiao tilted her head: "Today has been so surreal. I never imagined that our world would be like this—you still haven't told me how you can use magic? Well done, I've known you for over twenty years, and you've kept it well hidden!"

"You've acted in so many movies, have you ever had a time-travel script?"

"Time travel? You?"

"OK!"

"..."

Oh my god.

Bai Xiao sat up immediately.

They're all ancestral graves, so why did only Bai Lu succeed?
Ancestor, you must give me an explanation!

The next morning, Bai Lu left. Watching the dark cave disappear into her home, Bai Xiao rubbed her arms.

To be honest, even if you asked her to leave, she wouldn't dare to!
That's terrifying!
and many more!

Could two ghosts have escaped from this ghostly path?
Egret's Home.

The exit of the Ghost Path was in Bai Wei's room. When Bai Lu came out, Bai Wei was meditating, which was quite diligent.

She deliberately let out a slight sigh, and Bai Wei immediately noticed and opened her eyes: "Sister? You're finally back! Mom scolded you for ages, saying you went out without saying a word, didn't answer the phone, and didn't reply to WeChat messages!"

"No way, I already caught it!"

She had originally thought that Bai Wei and Bai Chen would be home and would naturally cover for her and explain. But what if she answered the phone and her explanation didn't match theirs when confronted? It was better not to say anything at all.

But since her cousin Feifei was there, she had no choice but to accept.

"Yes, Mom soaked the vegetable seeds last night. Bai Chen and I don't know how to breed them, so we just added spiritual energy to the water. I don't know if it's the same as what you did."

Bai Wei stretched and moved her numb legs.

When the egret went down to check, she found that there was still some residual spiritual energy in the water. The seed had already absorbed most of the spiritual energy in the water, so she added a little more spiritual energy into the water, and it was almost done.

"Egret!"

Qin Xiu finally noticed, and Bai Lu forced a smile at her.

"You child, how come you're becoming more and more unreliable as you grow up..."

Blah blah blah...

The egret has become accustomed to letting things go in one ear and out the other; let her be strong, the gentle breeze still caresses the mountain ridge.

Amidst the repetitive yet incessant muttering, she turned and came to the jujube tree that had been struck by lightning attracted by the lightning-attracting talisman, but which Bai Chen had saved with his spiritual power.

The jujube tree is thriving, with lush green leaves. If it weren't for the occasional black branches, you would never guess it had been struck by lightning.

It seemed completely unaffected by the lightning.

Trees also have yin and yang aspects.

The locust tree represents yin, while the jujube tree represents yang.

Moreover, jujube wood ranks among the top of yang woods, even surpassing the renowned peach wood.

Peach wood is believed to ward off evil spirits, and a peach wood sword is said to be able to slay demons and monster

This is a common understanding among the public, and it is also the most frequently used concept in TV dramas.

Actually, jujube wood is the most potent.

Wood that survives being struck by lightning is called lightning-struck wood, and it is the first choice for making ritual implements.

I've been working like crazy lately, so I'll revise the story whenever I have a spare moment to ensure logical consistency. Therefore, there might be some overlap with previous chapters. Sorry, dear readers! This humble author bows to you all (T＿T)/~~
