A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

After Ye Yun agreed to stay overnight, since it was still early, he began to observe Tie Xinyu's initial decomposition of the star silver meteorite.

"This is where I usually forge my weapons; it's something I inherited from my grandfather."

Tie Xinyu led him to a large room where he could see a furnace and various tools used for forging.

Many of the tools were inconsistent with Tie Xinyu's perception, clearly left behind by her grandfather.

Ye Yun looked around and nodded approvingly.

"Looks pretty impressive."

"Of course!"

Tie Xinyu proudly raised her head and said, "My grandfather was an incredibly skilled blacksmith, and so am I!"

For a moment, Ye Yun didn't know whether she was praising his grandfather or laying the groundwork for self-praise.

But after that, the other party did indeed demonstrate amazing skill to him.

"Step back, I'm about to begin!"

After giving some instructions, Tie Xinyu stepped forward, took out the huge star silver meteorite, and placed it on the furnace.

Then Tie Xinyu stretched out her hand, and a wisp of silver flame enveloped the meteorite iron, clearly beginning to heat it up little by little.

The scorching heat made Ye Yun feel as if his soul was being roasted, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"What terrifying flames..."

Looking at Tie Xinyu in front of her, her petite figure with flowing long hair and sharp eyes seemed to have transformed into a completely different person.

Time passed slowly, and the forging process proceeded smoothly. During this time, Tie Xinyu further confirmed the requirements with him.

As darkness fell, Ye Yun watched as the other party heated the massive meteorite iron until it was red-hot and then manually broke it down into small iron blocks of exactly the same size.

"Phew...that's all for today, time to go home!"

Tie Xinyu glanced at the sunset outside and stretched.

Then, she glanced at Ye Yun and smiled faintly.

"Let's go, I'll take you out for dinner."

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Ye Yun clasped his hands in a salute, but he still didn't quite understand why the other party had kept him here.

As he followed Tie Xinyu out, the twilight in the valley made him momentarily disoriented.

The golden afterglow spilled over the flowers, grass, and streams, creating a scene resembling a fairyland...

"So beautiful..."

Tie Xinyu, standing next to her, smiled and said, "Every time I see this view, it makes me feel at ease. I want to live here forever."

Ye Yun nodded and echoed.

"Indeed, even I'd like to stay here permanently."

After that, Tie Xinyu displayed her amazing culinary skills. The waterwheel in the stream turned gently, while smoke and the aroma of food rose from the wooden house next to it.

To be honest, this really gave Ye Yun a feeling of living in seclusion with a beautiful girl in a paradise, and his restless heart calmed down.

As the sky grew darker, the bright moon and stars adorned the night, making Ye Yun feel dazed once again.

"Ye Yun, dinner is ready!"

Tie Xinyu, wearing a small apron, looked like a capable young woman as she brought out the steaming hot food.

After spending the day together, the two became somewhat acquainted and decided to have dinner outdoors, enjoying a picnic under the moonlight.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Tie Xinyu looked at him and asked.

Ye Yun took a bite and nodded repeatedly.

"Excellent, excellent, truly delicious!"

"Hmph, Grandpa used to really like my cooking too."

Tie Xinyu looked proud, and at this moment, she no longer had the old-fashioned feeling she had during the day, as if she had taken off some kind of mask.

While eating, Ye Yun asked curiously, "I heard that you've lived here with your grandfather since you were little?"

"Yes, I grew up here as far back as I can remember, and then I learned the art of forging with my grandfather."

Tie Xinyu also started eating, reminiscing as she spoke.

"After my grandfather passed away, I stayed here and continued to study the art of blacksmithing, until now!"

This explanation surprised Ye Yun, who couldn't help but ask a question.

"You haven't gone out at all in all these years?"

Tie Xinyu shook her head.

"No, whatever you need, just send a message to the Ancient Holy Land, and someone will deliver it to you soon."

"I see……"

Ye Yun was amazed; this woman was truly the ultimate homebody!

"So, you never interact with people?"

"I guess so, but occasionally people from outside come to me to forge magical artifacts."

"Um, will anyone bully you?"

"No."

Tie Xinyu shook her head slightly and said with a smile.

"I've discovered that as long as I treat guests like my grandfather used to, no one will look down on me!"

"Oh, I see..."

Now Ye Yun understood where the other person's slightly awkward and old-fashioned manner came from—it turned out he was playing the role of her grandfather!

Ye Yun was both amused and exasperated, and then asked another question.

"So what are your plans for the future?"

"Hmm, I don't know either."

When this matter was mentioned, Tie Xinyu looked confused.

Ye Yun pondered for a moment.

"Haven't you considered going out for a walk?"

"This... I'm scared."

"Huh? Scared?"

"Yes, Grandpa always told me that the outside world is dangerous and that I shouldn't go out until I'm capable of protecting myself."

Ye Yun's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but remind her.

"Senior... with your current cultivation level, there are very few people who can defeat you outside."

He sensed that the other party's cultivation was close to the peak of the Yuanling realm, almost catching up with Hong Xian'er before her breakthrough, making her a top-tier expert wherever she went.

Upon hearing this, Tie Xinyu tilted her head.

"Really?"

"Really!"

"But... I'm still scared."

"How about this then?"

Ye Yun pondered for a moment and said, "When we have the chance in the future, I'll take you to see the Ancient Holy Land first, and then we can go to other places."

Tie Xinyu stared at him for a while after hearing his suggestion, and finally smiled sweetly.

"Hmm! Thank you, you really are a good person!"

"..."

The sudden "friend zone" card left Ye Yun speechless, and he said helplessly.

"Senior, aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?"

"Don't be afraid."

Tie Xinyu shook her head and smiled.

"The cultivation technique my grandfather had me practice allows me to sense other people's kindness and hostility, and also to discern whether someone is lying!"

"I see……"

Ye Yun felt a bit embarrassed. Fortunately, he didn't underestimate the other party just because he looked simple. This person was a human lie detector!

After that, the two talked a lot more, and he felt more and more that Tie Xinyu was a pure-hearted person with a simple personality and a passion for forging.

Even in this world, this is extremely rare, and it's likely that this is part of the reason why she was able to cultivate so quickly...

"By the way, I've wanted to ask from the beginning, why did you keep me here, senior?"

Ye Yun looked at her and asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.

Mentioning this, Tie Xinyu seemed to think of something, and her face flushed slightly.

"Because you're a good person, I... wanted to ask you some questions!"

Ye Yun took a bite of food and asked in confusion.

"Please just say it, senior."

"Then I'll be frank. Do you know anything about... the practice of dual cultivation between men and women?"

"Cough cough..."

Ye Yun nearly choked on the food he had just swallowed. It took him a while to recover before he looked up in astonishment and asked.

"Senior, what did you just say?"

His jaw nearly dropped when the other person said that. Was it something he could ask?

At this moment, Tie Xinyu pursed her lips slightly.

"It's what a man and woman do together in bed."

"I know, what I mean is, why did you ask that, senior?"

"I've been curious lately and wanted to find out more, but not many people come here."

Tie Xinyu seemed a little depressed, then looked at Ye Yun expectantly.

"So, you understand all this?"

"Well... I know a little bit about this, just a tiny bit."

Ye Yun spoke very modestly, but in reality, it was far more than just a little; it was practically his expertise.

"That's great!"

Tie Xinyu's eyes lit up, and she took out several books, including the one Ye Yun had seen on the table during the day.

"I recently found these books in my grandfather's spatial ring. A lot of the images in them are quite embarrassing. Take a look and see if they're all related to dual cultivation?"

"Oh? Let me take a look."

Picking up the numerous books in front of him, Ye Yun flipped through them one by one, feeling increasingly impressed.

It seems this former Fire Hammer Peak Master was quite the ladies' man; his collection is truly impressive.

The other party was too careless. Didn't they know that they were not afraid of being crushed to pieces, but wanted to leave their reputation in the world?
