Tan Shaoting truly had no better solution now, contemplating buying the spirit plants she grew; it was the only way he could look after her in this aspect.

Su Yuanyuan didn’t care how Tan Shaoting decided, as long as it didn’t threaten herself and the children, she really didn’t mind about her.

The next day, Su Yuanyuan went to attend a lecture. This time, the talisman class had a different instructor, a cultivator in the late-stage Foundation Establishment, who appeared very ethereal and intriguing.

There weren’t many attendees today, yet Su Yuanyuan listened particularly intently.

Although his cultivation wasn’t impressive, his understanding of talismans was indeed quite unique.

Zhao Dongling looked down at Su Yuanyuan, feeling quite excited, as she was the first cultivator to acknowledge his ideas.

Today, Tan Shaoting took the two kids to Sword Peak.

After class, Su Yuanyuan was about to leave when Zhao Dongling called her to stop.

"Senior Brother."

"Junior Sister, what do you think of my proposed theory?"

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Senior Brother, I think it’s very likely."

"I’ve squandered more than twenty years on this possibility. How many twenty years can a Foundation Establishment cultivator have? Since you agree with my viewpoint, you should give it a try, but don’t get obsessed like I did."

Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, actually wanting to tell him she could already paint talismans from thin air. She knew people’s hearts were hard to predict; if any problem arose, it would be troublesome.

Besides, she also planned to keep painting talismans as her trump card.

"Yes, thank you, Senior Brother. Have you not sought advice from predecessors’ insights over the past twenty years? I agreed because I saw a predecessor’s book in the Book Collection Pavilion, which I found incredibly useful. You might as well take a look."

Ultimately, Su Yuanyuan told Zhao Dongling the book’s location, not revealing that it was the greatest kindness she could offer him.

Zhao Dongling nodded excitedly, "Thank you, Junior Sister. I’ll go check it out. This is my communication talisman; if you have troubles, you can find me."

He swiftly left. Su Yuanyuan followed suit, currently studying fourth-grade talismans, and had reached a bottleneck, thus coming to attend the lecture.

"Junior, when will you take me to Bishui Peak?"

"Senior, you should know we are still under surveillance; is it truly wise for me to go there? I’ve checked the map, and while it’s not considered forbidden, it’s not a place ordinary people can go. I need to create an excuse, right?

I hope there will be tasks at Bishui Peak. Senior, please be patient."

Honestly, Su Yuanyuan was anxious, trying to reassure Chen Xue Man. Having someone like her by her side daily, it was hard to be at ease, even being close to Tan Shaoting meant leaving the soul wood outside when entering the space, which was highly inconvenient.

The couple was indeed constantly monitoring the task hall, hoping for tasks related to Bishui Peak so that their visit wouldn’t be abrupt.

Chen Xue Man fell silent, realizing that she was being difficult.

Su Yuanyuan didn’t return directly but went to the task hall, seriously searching.

Bishui Peak is currently sealed; why would there be anyone issuing tasks?

"Fellow cultivator, what kind of task are you looking for?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "Fellow cultivator, I’m not sure; I’m just here to see. I don’t want to go outside, preferring to do some tasks within the sect."

"Intra-sect tasks suitable for Foundation Establishment stage aren’t here; this is the task directory. You can check it yourself."

Su Yuanyuan smiled gratefully at the steward, leafing through it.

Suddenly, she smiled; how unexpectedly lucky she was! There was actually a task at Bishui Peak.

"Junior, if you asked earlier, I might have reached Bishui Peak long ago."

"Senior, my apologies, I didn’t expect it either. I’ll accept this task right away."

After a while, Su Yuanyuan handed over her identity jade, taking on the Bishui Peak array maintenance task, which is a long-term task, thus more suitable for her.

She initially considered having Tan Shaoting take on the task as well, but he wouldn’t, and besides, he might be busy looking after his junior sister, so it was better not to.

The steward provided her with some materials for refining the array, and Su Yuanyuan happily left the task hall.

Returning to the small courtyard, she saw the father and sons eating together.

"Yuanyuan, what will you eat?" Tan Shaoting thought his wife was busy.

"I won’t eat. I accepted a task at Bishui Peak. Tomorrow, I’ll take Qi Hao and Qi Xuan to Bishui Peak."

Tan Shaoting had been closely observing the task hall, not noticing any tasks for Bishui Peak. Now it solved a hidden threat around his wife.

"Can’t I go with you?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "I don’t know; I accepted the task of array maintenance at Bishui Peak. I thought about messaging you, but upon seeing the requirements, I felt you’re not suitable.

It’s within the sect; there won’t be any danger."

Tan Shaoting nodded, "Alright, then Qi Hao and Qi Xuan will stay with me. I’ll go to Chen Xiaorui to purchase some spirit plants. This time, I’ll have her grow both spirit rice and spirit vegetables."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, having no objections. Tan Shaoting was always measured in his actions, and besides, she won’t be jealous over this.

The couple had gone through so much and trusted each other deeply.

The following day, the family split up, with Tan Shaoting taking Qi Hao and Qi Xuan to practice swordsmanship.

Now the two young ones had quite impressive momentum in their sword play. They were a remarkable sight at Sword Peak.

Su Yuanyuan went to Bishui Peak, finding a token inside the storage bag given by the steward yesterday allowing entry.

After entering, Su Yuanyuan felt very comfortable, Spiritual Energy was abundant. Beneath this mountain lay an entire Water Spirit Vein.

"Junior, don’t be envious. Let me give you a section of Water Spirit Vein to keep; this can grow."

"Senior, wouldn’t that be discovered? I don’t wish to court danger through greed."

"Don’t worry, it won’t be discovered. Only we, the father and daughter, know how to extract Water Spirit Vein."

"Senior, if there’s more, could you spare a section for my daughter?"

"Sure, of course." Given she could see him and brought him back, allowing him to resolve his heart’s knots, just two sections of the spirit vein were perfectly feasible.

Su Yuanyuan was delighted. With a Water Spirit Vein, her daughter’s space might upgrade, which would be immensely beneficial to her.

"Junior, why haven’t you merged with the Water Spirit Pearl?" Chen Xue Man was truly curious.

Su Yuanyuan laughed, "Because I know that senior will return to the cultivation world again, and most certainly with a Water Spirit Root. I’ve kept all your belongings for you; if possible, carry them yourself. That way, you can quickly grow."
