Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Before Yunping could answer, Hu Xiaolin's face, which looked like he hadn't eaten for half a year, appeared in front of him.

The longing gleaming in his eyes was impossible to conceal—Old Hu was hungry too.

That being the case...

"Okay, you guys eat it. It was made for you anyway..."

It would have been better if I hadn't said it, because once I did, things got really messy.

Suddenly, six long black shadows appeared before Yunping's eyes; judging from their shape, they seemed to be chopsticks.

The three of them acted as if they were going to war as soon as they sat down at the dinner table, each of them using their best skills to frantically add fish pieces to their bowls.

Yunping could see Ye Yuchan very clearly, especially this one.

This girl actually used her Lesser Heavenly Thunder Body just to snatch a bowl of fish head soup?!

With all this crackling and popping, do they really think Yunping is an idiot who can't see it?

Almost in the blink of an eye, most of the fish feast in front of Yunping was gone.

"No... how about... you consider leaving some for me?"

After he said that, everyone was stunned for a moment, but soon they resumed their hearty eating.

As it turns out, there is no such thing as a master-disciple relationship at the dinner table.

By the time Yunping picked up his chopsticks to treat himself to a meat dish, there was practically nothing left on the table but a tiny bit of fish head soup.

Ye Yuchan, who had previously been reluctant to let Yunping kill the fish with a long face, ate the most—this girl, amplified by the Little Heavenly Thunder Body, was incredibly fast, her hands picking up meat were almost invisible.

However, the amount of salted fish was quite large. Even though Zhang Ruoxue and Hu Xiaolin didn't fight over it as enthusiastically as Ye Yuchan, they still ate until they were about 80% full.

Yunping silently put down the fish head soup in front of him and sighed helplessly.

Oh well, I don't have to eat it myself anyway—this stuff was originally meant for them.

Most importantly, it's useless for me to eat it.

"Phew, I'm full~" Ye Yuchan patted her bulging belly with satisfaction and lay lazily on the seat. "This fish is really delicious, worth 500,000."

"Hmm... The things the teacher makes are always delicious."

"Yes, that barbecue before...tsk tsk tsk."

"Yu Chan, can you stop talking about food for now? I'm a little full."

"I'm full too! Look at my belly..."

Seeing the two chatting and laughing, Yun Ping couldn't help but chuckle.

Keep rambling, you won't have the energy to keep this up later, hehehe...

Whether he noticed Yun Ping's sinister smile hidden in the shadows or not, Hu Xiaolin suddenly leaned closer.

“My benefactor, I have something I’d like to ask you.”

"What a coincidence, I also have something I want to ask you." Yunping stroked his chin and looked at Lao Hu curiously. "But you go first."

"Oh, okay!" Upon hearing that his benefactor had something to ask him, Hu Xiaolin immediately quickened his pace, "Well, benefactor, what I wanted to ask was that I saw a green thing in the fish head soup just now."

Green?

After hearing what Hu Xiaolin said, Zhang Ruoxue and Ye Yuchan realized what was going on.

It seems that there is such a thing.

But that thing should be edible, and taste good—so Ye Yuchan did just that.

"Oh, you mean that? What happened to it?"

As Yunping said this, he couldn't help but smile.

Hu Xiaolin didn't understand why his benefactor had that expression, but he still asked, "What's that green thing? It looks a bit like..."

"Zhu Chuncao, right?"

"Ah, right, that seems to be the name..."

Words ceased at that moment.

The entire hall fell into complete silence, and Hu Xiaolin's expression froze for a split second.

A smile crept onto Yunping's brow.

"Then it's my turn to ask you questions."

"Old Hu... how many toilets do you have in your house?"

Hu Xiaolin's face twisted as he glanced at Zhang Ruoxue and Ye Yuchan, who had suddenly fallen silent.

Intense pain simultaneously pierced the abdomens of all three.

Despite the pain, Hu Xiaolin stammered, "Two...two rooms..."

After saying this, a wave suddenly surged in his stomach, his face turned deathly pale, and he hurriedly rushed out of the house.

Clearly, he went to seek help from the Jade Bird next door.

Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue exchanged a miserable look, and then, quite in sync, one rushed towards a small room in the corner, while the other ran upstairs.

At the dining table, only Yunping remained, smiling silently.

Looking at the empty dining table, Yunping crossed his legs, his expression as smug as could be.

"Are you kidding me? Do you really think the fish feast I prepared for you was for nothing?"

64. His aunt

Yunping had been after this herb, Zhu Chuncao, from the very beginning.

The fish, worth 500,000 gold coins, was just a bonus to him.

I saw this fish while passing by and thought it looked pretty, so I just scooped it up.

—He really did scoop it out with his hands, a move that startled the old man fishing nearby so much that he almost fell into the ice.

Even in the Desolate Sky Domain, this Spring Grass is considered a rare herb, because in the vast Desolate Sky Domain, this Spring Grass can only be found in the Far Eastern Snowfield.

Its market price... Although Yunping hasn't participated in any so-called auctions for a long time, the value of Zhuchun grass is definitely no less than that of a salted fish.

Because the Spring Grass possesses a function that cultivators dream of—

It clears blockages and removes stagnation.

This thing can forcefully expel the impurities buried in the user's meridians. Although the process is quite painful, its effects are simply amazing.

What is most important to a cultivator?

Meridians!

Imagine if a person's meridians were full of messy blood and filth, blocking all spiritual energy, then what's the point of cultivating?

The wonder of the herb Zhu Chuncao lies in its ability to purify the meridians within a practitioner's body.

That's true...

But this process was really...

Even Yun Ping himself was startled. Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue were one thing, but even Old Hu, who was at the Transcendental Stage, stayed in the toilet for most of the day before finally returning home exhausted.

Time flew by and evening arrived.

"No...no...I'm going to die..."

Having finally expelled all the impurities, the girl walked unsteadily, looking as if she might fall at any moment.

Ye Yuchan's pretty face was as white as the snow piles outside, and she looked much thinner.

Zhang Ruoxue was in an even worse state; she was slumped on the sofa like a lump of mud, almost sinking into it.

"Ruoxue...I'm going to die..."

Ye Yuchan, with faltering steps, as if she had suddenly turned into an old woman, moved to Zhang Ruoxue's side.

He turned his back and leaned backward.

The moment Ye Yuchan touched the soft sofa, her face finally relaxed.

In their current state, they look no different from two paralyzed people.

Yunping sat opposite the two of them, staring at them with dead fish eyes that concealed a smile. "I say... how come you two are so weak? You're already this tired after just one round of miscellaneous tasks?"

"I feel like I'm about to go to heaven, okay?" Ye Yuchan glared at him, annoyed. "Why don't you try it yourself?"

"It's no use for me to eat it~ Where would I get these impurities from in my body?"

"...Tch, you're just talking without understanding the situation."

Yunping ignored Ye Yuchan's complaints and instead addressed them.

"Alright, take a rest. It's about time to start cultivating."

"Cultivation?!" Ye Yuchan was so shocked that she wanted to jump up from the sofa, but she was too exhausted to do so.

He looked completely dejected. "Why do I have to cultivate again...?"

"This is your first time taking Zhu Chuncao, so the effects are at their best. Most of the impurities inside your meridians have been cleared away immediately. This is the best opportunity for you to cultivate your skills."

When it came to cultivation, Yunping's tone was no longer full of teasing.

"Especially you, Xiaoyuchan, your Thousand-Ren Technique has been stagnant for a long time. The first three levels of Thousand-Ren Technique require the cultivation of meridians and acupoints. This spring grass is a godsend for you. Why don't you hurry up and go to your room to cultivate?"

Upon hearing that she had been chosen, Ye Yuchan felt a surge of displeasure.

It's no wonder she was upset. After having diarrhea for most of the day, she was almost dehydrated, and then she had to go to cultivate. No one would be happy about that!

However, under Yun Ping's deadpan gaze, Ye Yuchan still went along, half-dragged along.

There's no other way, it's just cultivation... At worst, I can cultivate in bed!

"And Ruoxue, your 'Silent Moon' technique still needs to be consolidated. Although 'Silent Moon' doesn't have particularly high requirements for meridians, in the later stages, the meridians used to support the power of the bright moon must be strong enough. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhang Ruoxue raised her head groggily and nodded: "...I understand."

"Then let's go."
