Cui Lanyin heard her son calling out from a great distance, "Hey! Mom's here, Mom's here!"

"Mother!" Wei Zhiying hopped over in a few quick movements, grabbed her mother's hand, and asked anxiously, "Did my sister tell you? My sister and I are going out to gain experience and also to look for your family. Do you still remember your maternal grandparents' names? Do my sister and I have any aunts or uncles?"

Cui Lanyin was a little stunned: "Home... go to Xiliang, my mother's family is in Xiliang. The desolate streets are actually very bustling. At night, all kinds of lanterns are dazzling."

"Mother, Mother." Although Wei Zhiying was reluctant to interrupt her mother's reminiscence of happy moments, if she didn't hurry, her grandmother would catch up and start talking about having a great-grandson again: "Get to the point, Mother, get to the point! What's my maternal grandmother's surname, name, and place of origin? Do you have any other brothers or sisters? Maybe they'll have more children after you were abducted. So tell me, are there any children older than you?"

A glint flashed in Cui Lanyin's eyes, a kind of pride that made her look down on everyone else: "My mother only gave birth to me. I don't have any brothers or sisters. The others are all my servants."

Wei Zhiying nodded: "I understand. You're the only legitimate daughter; the rest are all illegitimate. It seems I was right, Mother. It appears your family is wealthy and powerful."

The reason why Wei Zhiying felt relieved to hear about having illegitimate children was that, since she had other children, she wouldn't end up like Xiangling in Dream of the Red Chamber, whose children were lost and whose family was soon destroyed.

If you go looking for her, her family should still be wealthy. And since she was the only legitimate child at the time, she should have a deeper bond with her first child. Hopefully, that family won't despise her. In her previous life, Wei Zhiying saw a news story about a poor woman who was abducted to the mountains. She finally returned home, but her biological parents thought she was dirty. The woman had nowhere to go, so she had to return to the mountains. Later, she became a primary school teacher and, ironically, even won a touching award.

Cui Lanyin shook her head: "Mother can't remember the rest."

Seeing this, Wei Zhiying had no choice but to give up. Hearing her grandmother's voice behind her, Wei Zhiying quickly pulled her sister and flew away on her sword: "Mother, my sister and I will go for a while. If Grandma talks to you about great-grandchildren, don't pay any attention to her."

Amidst the gasps of the maids and servants, the siblings swiftly soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

"Xiao Ying, weren't we supposed to travel around the Heavenly Saint Kingdom first?"

"I didn't expect at the time that Grandma would make me a great-grandson. Now that I know, I can't stay here. Since I know, I should go to Xiliang first and find my mother's family. If we're in Tiansheng Kingdom, it would be good if Grandma insisted on looking for us and couldn't find us, but it would be bad if she did."

Wei Zhiying looked down and said, "Forget it, let's fly down first, check the map and compass, and reconfirm the route. Let's put the training aside for now and deal with this first."

The siblings landed steadily on their iron swords, near a village. Seeing two people descending from the sky, the villagers immediately guessed they were cultivators kneeling and calling out to immortals. Seeing this for the first time, the siblings were momentarily flustered: "Get up! Get up! Folks, let us ask, which village is this? What's its name?"

The other party gave their name, and the siblings quickly located the location on the map and then determined the direction using a compass.

Wei Lanyin thought for a moment and said, "I feel we can't let them kneel in vain."

Wei Zhiying nodded: "That's what I was thinking too. It's already December, so why don't we... let them have another good harvest?"

"it is good."

The siblings pressed their hands firmly to the ground, channeling their spiritual energy to sense the earth's veins. By transmitting spiritual energy to the land, Wei Zhiying took out a fertility-inducing talisman from her bosom, and obtained some seeds from the villagers. Using these seeds, she first allowed them to take root and sprout, then replanted the resulting seeds, repeating this cycle two or three times. Finally, the siblings, panting heavily, said, "That should... be enough."

The people looked at the crops and fruit trees around them, which were laden with plump fruit despite it being winter. They kowtowed to them as if they were kowtowing to their own parents.

The siblings panicked: "No need to be so polite, no need to be so polite, get up, get up!"

The villagers were incredibly hospitable, insisting that the siblings stay the night. Having just exhausted a lot of their spiritual energy, the siblings decided to stay for one night.

Considering it was winter and the villagers' harvesting capacity was limited, the siblings stayed for dinner and regained some strength. They then activated their spiritual power, with Wei Zhiying transferring it to her sister so she could use the power of the metal element to help the villagers harvest. The task of moving the harvest to the warehouse was left to the villagers themselves.

The village erupted in cheers, calling the siblings "divine beings descended to earth" and saying they would surely ascend to immortality someday, making the two siblings blush with embarrassment.
