First achieve immortality, then cultivate immortality.

"...Senior, you may wish to see the spirit fertilizer, but I do not have it on me right now. I need to go back and get it first, and then bring it with me next time. What do you think?" Xu Mu said.

"Hehehe, no problem. Your information is indeed quite valuable; consider it part of this transaction."

"I initiated this deal by asking you to bring the spirit fertilizer. You can name your price; it's a fair trade," the mysterious female master said with a faint smile.

Xu Mu was somewhat surprised to hear this, not expecting him to be so easy to talk to.

He thought for a moment and asked, "I need the materials for the Golden Saint Pill. Is it convenient for us to trade?"

"Golden Saint Pill...Golden Saint Mushroom is very valuable. Your spiritual fertilizer isn't enough for the transaction," the other party said.

"No, I only need other materials."

"Oh? You have Golden Saint Mushrooms yourself? You're quite fortunate. No problem, you can bring spiritual fertilizer to trade anytime."

"Okay, then... how much spirit fertilizer do you need?" Xu Mu asked.

"Hongling, give him the box."

"Yes, Master."

After Hongling agreed, she casually took out an exquisite wooden box, placed it on the counter, and pushed it over.

Xu Mu looked at it, carefully opened the lid, and showed a surprised expression. Then he poked inside with his finger to confirm that there was really no hidden compartment.

"No need to look, it's just an ordinary box," Hong Ling said calmly.

"Is this much spiritual fertilizer enough? I need enough materials for the Golden Saint Pill," Xu Mu said.

The box is only about the size of two palms, surprisingly small.

"Hehe, I just want to see the spirit fertilizer you mentioned, I don't need much."

"As long as you bring the spirit fertilizer, I will give you enough materials to make a Golden Saint Mushroom." The mysterious female master said with a faint smile.

It's clear that what she wants isn't the spirit fertilizer itself, but rather confirmation of its effects, or rather, confirmation of the authenticity of this information.

As for the value of this intelligence, that depends on how both sides assess it.

Xu Mu hesitated for a moment. This was the first time he had let people know about the Spirit Fertilizer, and he wondered if it would cause any new problems.

However, this deal is acceptable at the moment.

"Okay, I'll bring the spirit fertilizer."

Xu Mu nodded and put the box away.

As for when to bring it, and whether to bring it at all, that's up to him to decide.

Let's leave Wulei City first and get out of this trouble.

"Hongling, see the guest out." The mysterious female master's attitude was quite sincere.

"Yes, Master." Hongling replied, then looked at Xu Mu with a calm expression.

"Thank you for your trouble." Xu Mu politely cupped his hands in greeting.

Hongling didn't say anything, but came out from behind the counter and led him out of the attic.

Just as Xu Mu was about to ask how to get him out of the city, she suddenly patted him. Before he could react, the surrounding environment changed instantly, and he was teleported to the outskirts of Five Thunder City.

"This method..."

Xu Mu gasped.

The courtyard indeed had a spatial array, and it even had teleportation capabilities.

Without a second thought, he quickly transformed into an old man, concealed his presence, and secretly slipped away.

They managed to escape Five Thunder City unharmed, which was a piece of cake for Riyuexuan, and he didn't pay any real price, so it was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

As for how to conduct business afterward, that requires careful consideration.

After considering it, he decided to bring the spirit fertilizer over next year, get the materials for the Golden Saint Pill first, and then see what the owner of Riyuexuan has to say.

He now needs a new trading channel, and hopefully it will be more reliable.

……

The mortal realm.

Medicine God Valley.

The weather was fine and sunny, but the temperature was a bit hot. The two sisters were drinking tea and enjoying the cool air under the trees outside the house.

"Sister, shouldn't we have a child for the young master... so that after we leave, the child can keep him company?" Li Zhihua said softly.

Li Zhiyuan shook her head: "Young Master doesn't like children, nor does he need their company. Children are just a burden to him."

She looked at the white clouds on the horizon and said softly, "If the young master feels lonely, let him find a new maid. He doesn't need to be attached to us..."

"But..." Li Zhihua lay on the cold stone table, her feelings complicated, and she didn't know what to say.

"You want to have a child for yourself, don't you?" Li Zhiyuan glanced at her, seeing through her thoughts.

Li Zhihua pouted: "If we don't have children, it feels like we've left nothing behind... What if the young master forgets about us?"

Li Zhiyuan laughed: "Silly sister, we've lived together for so many years, do we still need to worry about this kind of issue?"

Don't worry, our decades of work will surely leave a significant mark on your life, and you won't forget it.

No... I think it's better to forget about it.

The young master has a long lifespan; just as he said, keep walking, the flowers will continue to bloom, don't be burdened by the past. Let's not hold him back.

By the end, her face was full of tenderness.

"Sister, your devotion is something even I can't match," Li Zhihua complained.

"Hmph, of course, I'm your older sister, so of course I'm a little older and have more experience than you in everything." Li Zhiyuan proudly raised her head and puffed out her chest.

Li Zhihua glanced at her chest, still harboring resentment about the matter.

Li Zhiyuan noticed her gaze, covered her chest, and glared at her.

"Now that we're getting old, don't think too much about it. Once we stop taking the Youth Preservation Pill, and our looks fade with age, the young master won't want us anymore."

"Hmph, cunning. I should have grown up 20 years ago," Li Zhihua muttered.

"Alright, alright, can you try to change this strange competitive spirit of yours?" Li Zhiyuan said helplessly.

Li Zhihua snorted coldly: "It's clearly you who always wants to be first, and then you turn around and blame others. When it was my first time serving the emperor, you were the one who insisted on being the first. Every time I did it, you were jealous, as if he were my brother-in-law."

Li Zhiyuan immediately looked embarrassed and angry: "You're talking nonsense! I didn't!"

"Hmph, don't think I can't see it. Every time you watch from the side, the expression on your face really excites me~" Li Zhihua chuckled.

"You're awful! That's all just your imagination!" Li Zhiyuan glared angrily.

"Hehehe~" Li Zhihua stuck her tongue out at her.

"You're asking for it!"

"Haha, you can't hit me."

The two sisters chased each other and played around.

When they got tired of running, the two went to the stream to wash their hands and splashed water on each other.

"Okay, okay, stop! Your clothes are all wet." Li Zhiyuan stopped playing around.

Li Zhihua smiled and stopped.

The two then took a walk in the valley and inspected Xu Mu's medicinal herb fields.

Xu Mu can leave now in just two and a half months, which doesn't affect the planting of spiritual herbs much. So he plants the spiritual herbs and takes care of them before leaving, saving a lot of time.

The two sisters don't know how to farm, but they take walks regularly to check for small animals damaging the medicinal herb fields and chase them away.

"Knowing kites, knowing paintings."

Suddenly a sound rang out from the air.

The two looked up and were immediately pleasantly surprised.

"Young Master!"

"I'm back." Xu Mu smiled as he landed from the sky.

The two sisters immediately rushed into his arms, nuzzling him affectionately, just like two adorable cats waiting for their owner to come home.
