After the great war five hundred years ago, not only did the human race suffer heavy losses, the demon race also hid from the world and never appeared again. The mermaids who lived in the East China Sea at that time naturally disappeared without a trace as well.

Therefore, mermaid pearls are hard to come by on the market now, let alone this kind of regularly shaped round mermaid pearls, which are almost extinct.

Because this kind of mermaid pearl can only be formed when a mermaid sheds tears on a full-moon night, and at the moment of shedding tears, the mermaid pearl wraps the surrounding spiritual energy within it.

Not only did Huai Xu give her a bunch of such treasures, he even let her play with them like marbles.

You can't spoil your child like this! What kind of family can spoil a child like this? Aren't you afraid of spoiling her into a prodigal?

"Don't you like it?" Huai Xu saw Qin Zhen staring at him blankly, and hurriedly tried to take something out of the Qiankun Ring again.

Seeing this, Qin Zhen nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice: "I like it, I like it, thank you, Senior Brother."

She felt like her conscience would hurt if she took Huai Xu's things again.

"As long as you like it." Huai Xu nodded when he saw this, then continued to take out a few candies from the mortal world from his Qiankun bag and stuffed them into Qin Zhen's pockets.

"Big Brother, no need, really no need."

Hearing this, Huai Xu looked into Qin Zhen's eyes seriously and solemnly: "You're welcome. I just want you to be happy."

Qin Zhen really didn't expect Huai Xu to be so considerate, and she felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

Qin Zhen stopped being pretentious and smiled, putting away the mermaid pearl and candy together: "Thank you, Senior Brother. Then - I'll treat you to a meal?"

Huai Xu, who was already fasting, paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "Then I'll trouble you, Junior Sister."

If someone needs you, you will be happier, right?

Huai Xu tried to guess Qin Zhen's emotions. Seeing Qin Zhen's shining eyes when she talked about cooking, he nodded secretly and then wrote it down in the little notebook in his heart.

"No trouble, is there anything that you cannot eat?"

"I'm fine with either."

"it is good."

"Does our sect have a dining hall?"

"...If you have anything you want to eat or use, you can tell me and I will send Linghe to the foot of the mountain to buy it."

Qin Zhen understood, isn’t this Meix Takeout and Shunx Express?

"Okay, then I won't be polite to Senior Brother."

"Yes, sure." Huai Xu nodded, "Let's go to Huangjintai and decide where to stay first."

"Huangjintai?" Although this was the second time she heard this place name, Qin Zhen knew nothing about it.

"Well, the place where the master lives is the Golden Terrace. When you first start practicing, it is better to stay closer to the master. When you form a golden elixir, you can find a place you like in the sect."

"it is good."

This was different from her previous life. After she joined the Tianyan Sect, her master Qinghe Jianzun didn't care much about her, so much so that one day something went wrong in her practice and she almost exploded and died. When she used the only communication talisman at the time to ask Qinghe Jianzun for help, Qinghe Jianzun didn't respond at all.

In the end, she had to endure the pain of bleeding from all seven orifices and broken meridians, and crawled out little by little to ask for help.

That time was the closest Qin Zhen had ever been to the gates of hell, but it was not the only time.

But no matter what time, she had to rely on herself, and no one ever cared whether she would be in danger or sad.

As the eldest senior sister, she really seems to be a tool that does not require any consideration, rather than a human being.

She would not deny her previous independent and hardworking self, but she prefers this "new" self.

Just as Qin Zhen was thinking about this, Huai Xu's gentle voice rang out again: "We're here."

Qin Zhen subconsciously raised her head when she heard that, but when she did, her chin almost dropped to the ground. She finally understood why this place was called the Golden Terrace, because everything here, including the buildings and decorations, and even the floor tiles, were made of gold.

The sun shone down, and there was a golden and dazzling glow everywhere, almost blinding Qin Zhen's eyes.

This is it, the outside world actually dares to laugh at Poyun Sect’s poverty?

"Snapped."

Qin Zhen suddenly raised her right hand and pressed it hard on her left wrist.

"What's wrong?" Huai Xu looked a little confused.

"I'm afraid I can't control myself." Qin Zhen said sincerely.

Huai Xu was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Are you short of money?"

"It has nothing to do with whether there is a shortage or not." It's purely because of my deep love for gold.

Huai Xu was not worried that Qin Zhen would steal these things. After all, everything on the Golden Terrace was under the control of Wen Qionghua, and everything had restrictions set by her. Not to mention that Qin Zhen was so open and obviously had no bad intentions.

Huai Xu secretly made a note in his little notebook: "Junior sister, likes golden things, is honest and cute."

Soon, Qin Zhen chose a place to live. It was located behind the Golden Terrace, near the mountain stream. The scenery was beautiful and pleasant, and it was close to a water source. Most importantly, there was a piece of land here.

“Can I farm this land?”

The land was barren and overgrown with weeds, but the terrain was flat and broad, and Qin Zhen was very attracted by it.

"Of course you can, but if Junior Sister needs anything, just ask the sect's spiritual crane to buy it. Even if you want spiritual plants, you can go directly to Elder Mu's spiritual medicine garden."

"It's okay, it's okay. I just thought that I was practicing Taoism through food. Maybe growing the food I need is also an important part of practice." Qin Zhen was obviously not as empty-headed as she appeared to be.

Huai Xu was stunned when he heard this, then he sighed softly: "I didn't think it through, so what kind of seeds does Junior Sister need? I'll go find them for you."

Qin Zhen was not polite: "I'll make a list for you later, ok?"

"of course."

"Then - Brother, can you find some ingredients and seasonings for me? I'll treat everyone to a meal tonight."

"Which ones do you want?"

Qin Zhen quickly called out a bunch of names, and Huai Xu responded without blinking, "Okay, I'll be back soon."

Huai Xu left quickly, and Qin Zhen went back to the house to tidy up the place.

Although she was said to be tidying up, the things inside were already very complete and she didn't need to do anything else.

Instead, an unusual sound of water suddenly came from outside the house near the stream.

Qin Zhen felt something strange, so she quickly opened the window and looked towards the water. She saw a tall and slender figure standing beside the stream.

The man was wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with golden cloud patterns. He had an extraordinary figure and a handsome appearance. There was not much expression on his handsome face, but he looked over when he heard the sound of Qin Zhen opening the window.

When he raised his eyes, his eyes moved, as if the snow on the mountain melted and turned into the warm spring sun.

A gentle breeze blew by, his clothes fluttered, and a crane landed and nestled beside him.

For a moment, Qin Zhen even thought she saw a god, or a bewitching demon in the mountains.
