Early morning.

In a dirty alley in the slums of Fallen Cloud Town, amidst the falling snow, a middle-aged man with a sturdy build, thick eyebrows, square face, sharp features, and dressed in a light gray robe, resembling a martial artist, walked into a dilapidated courtyard, braving the cold wind.

With clasped fists, he approached a young man who was practicing boxing in the wind and snow, shirtless with dark skin and handsome features, and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I plan to go to the Black Cloud Mountain Range tomorrow to gain experience and search for spiritual herbs to break through the second level of Qi Refining. It may take anywhere from half a month to a year. However, my wife has just failed in her promotion to become an immortal cultivator and is physically weak. Moreover, Fallen Cloud Town is filled with unscrupulous cultivators, so I want to ask if my wife can stay at Fellow Daoist Lu's place for a while to take care of her."

Lu Changfeng turned to look at his neighbor, his eyes filled with astonishment, and declined, "Fellow Daoist Lin, this is not appropriate! If... I say if, if something were to spark between me and your wife, you might come after me with a knife."

Lin Nan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, we have known each other for three years. How could I not know your character? I trust you."

Lu Changfeng touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "Fellow Daoist Lin, let's forget about this matter. I'm really afraid that misunderstandings might arise and affect our friendship of so many years. You should find someone else."

Lin Nan's face filled with worry, and he sighed heavily, saying, "I can't trust anyone else with this."

Lu Changfeng gave him an idea, saying, "I think the widow next door, Wang, is a good choice. She is also a female cultivator, so there won't be any misunderstandings. You just need to pay her a few spirit stones. I suggest you send your wife to live at Widow Wang's place."

Suddenly, Lin Nan broke out in a cold sweat and waved his hands in panic, "Let's forget it, forget it. I'll think of someone else."

Watching Lin Nan's anxious and uneasy appearance.

Lu Changfeng narrowed his eyes and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

It's highly likely that his neighbor has a relationship with Widow Wang.

No wonder he saw him climbing over the wall into Widow Wang's house that night.

---------------

The next day, as the sky was just beginning to brighten, an invisible purple aura radiated from the mountains in the vast snowy landscape.

At the same time, many cultivators in Fallen Cloud Town were sitting cross-legged on their beds, practicing meditation and breathing exercises.

This strand of purple aura was the purest spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Therefore, cultivating at this hour would yield twice the result with half the effort.

Lu Changfeng also got up from his bed, but instead of meditating like other cultivators, he took out a translucent crystal from a hidden corner of his room.

This crystal was the only relic left by Lu Changfeng's deceased parents.

Every morning, it automatically absorbed the purple aura between heaven and earth.

Facing this miraculous spiritual object, after transmigrating to this cultivation world for eighteen years, Lu Changfeng could no longer rely on the system. This crystal was his only hope, hoping that it was a "Goldfinger".

As the crystal greedily absorbed the faint purple aura, the surface of the crystal gradually revealed the image of a small island.

Lu Changfeng was overjoyed, as the image of the island had become more and more realistic after three years of effort. It was likely that in less than half a month, it would be fully revealed.

One minute later.

As the purple aura dissipated, the sun slowly rose from the mountains.

Lu Changfeng carefully placed the crystal back in its original place.

He turned and walked into the neighboring room, lit three incense sticks, and knelt in front of a hundred spirit tablets on the table.

The spirit tablets varied in size, but the most eye-catching one was a spirit tablet carved from White Tiger stone.

White Tiger stone was a precious second-grade refining material, worth five thousand low-grade spirit stones.

The reason why Lu Changfeng had such a valuable spirit tablet in his home was because...

It is because two hundred years ago, the Lu family belonged to the Seventh Grade family, with an ancestor at the Foundation Building Stage overseeing the seven layers of the family's foundation. The family owned tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields, hundreds of shops, and a hundred thousand servants, ruling over half of the cultivation city.

Unfortunately, since the passing of this Foundation Building Stage ancestor, the descendants of the Lu family have been disappointing, with each generation being worse than the previous one. As a result, the family gradually declined. Now, in Lu Changfeng's generation, even the house and spiritual land they live in are rented.

"Oh ancestor, if you have a spirit in heaven, please bless your only descendant to prosper."

After repeating this sentence every day, Lu Changfeng would pick up his hoe and head to the spiritual field to work.

But when he opened the door, he was dumbfounded.

There was actually a beautiful woman sitting outside the door, with a graceful and ethereal appearance, bright and captivating eyes, a graceful figure, long and slender legs, and flowing hair that exuded a faint jasmine fragrance, giving off an aura of a mature and elegant woman.

"Miss Lin, Bai Yuerou, pays respects to Fellow Daoist Lu. My husband told me last night that he asked me to stay at your house for a while. I hope Fellow Daoist Lu will take care of me in the future."

Lu Changfeng was speechless.

This Lin Nan was really lacking in martial ethics!

She actually launched a surprise attack.

How should I greet you?

Lu Changfeng looked at the woman with a curvaceous figure, thin lips that were as red as rouge, a face as beautiful as a Celestial Immortal, and every move she made was enchanting, and Bai Yuerou, who had black and shiny hair exuding a faint jasmine fragrance, and said, "Sister-in-law, rest assured, I will take good care of you. It's cold outside, please come in quickly."

Bai Yuerou hesitated at the door for a moment, then walked into Lu Changfeng's house with her delicate feet. She took out three low-grade spirit stones from her backpack and said, "These are a token of appreciation from my husband. Please accept them, Fellow Daoist Lu."

Lu Changfeng squinted his eyes and put the three low-grade spirit stones on the table into his bag, smiling, "Miss Lin is too polite. Sister-in-law, you can stay in the room next door from now on! If you need anything, just call me."

Bai Yuerou bowed in gratitude and then said, "My husband said that Fellow Daoist Lu is a righteous and honest person, but living together as a man and a woman, it is inevitable that there will be rumors and tarnish my reputation as a virtuous wife. So I hope Fellow Daoist Lu will not spread this matter outside, so as not to cause misunderstandings when my husband returns. During the time I am here, I will not leave the room and will keep my distance from Fellow Daoist Lu."

Lu Changfeng nodded and said, "What you said is absolutely right, sister-in-law. Rest assured, I will definitely not talk about this matter. Just stay in my house and recuperate. I'll go to work in the field now. If you're hungry, there's rice and vegetables in the kitchen."

"Okay, Fellow Daoist Lu, thank you so much."

"No need to be polite."

After Lu Changfeng finished speaking, he walked out of the house and headed to the spiritual field.

As far as the eye could see, there were vast and lush fields, and a gentle breeze brought the fragrance of the earth, giving a feeling of freedom and comfort.

The spiritual field that Lu Changfeng rented was a low-grade one, and he only needed to pay fifty low-grade spirit stones each year.

Looking at the pearl rice that would mature in two months.

Lu Changfeng felt joyful.

This acre of pearl rice could bring him a hundred low-grade spirit stones in income each year. After deducting the rent and land tax, although he would only have forty low-grade spirit stones left, these spirit stones were enough to support Lu Changfeng's comfortable life.

Under the scorching sun.

After clearing the pests and weeds in the spiritual field.

Lu Changfeng was already exhausted.

When he returned home, he saw that the table was full of food, and the messy room had become clean and tidy, with the floor spotless.

This scene.

Instantly made Lu Changfeng stunned in place, and he exclaimed, "It's so nice to have a woman at home. Maybe I should also find a partner."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you're back. I thought about staying at your house, and I always felt indebted to you, so I helped tidy up the house and cook when I had free time."

Bai Yuerou's beautiful face was stained with a little grease, and her attractive figure was full of mature charm. She walked over from the kitchen with a bowl of rice in her hand.

For a moment, Lu Changfeng was stunned by Bai Yuerou's appearance as a virtuous wife and mother, and couldn't take his eyes off her. But then he regained his senses and turned his gaze away, saying, "Sister-in-law, this is really too much trouble for you. Thank you."
