Even without their mothers-in-law's instructions, they knew how to protect their own family members.

"Mother, it seems we have no choice but to go back inside." Jiang Xianya turned to look at Ye Miaoyun, who looked sullen, and said with a smile.

“Your eldest aunt and your second aunt are really strong. Never mind, if they won’t let us make breakfast, then let’s make something else.”

“Mother, I’ve thought of a good way to make money. The Taiyi Sect has a kind of lard soap with a unique secret recipe. It’s great for washing hair, bathing, or washing clothes. It’s easier to get than lard soap, and it smells nice too.” Jiang Xianya said with a smile, “Mother, you can make this.”

There's only one pancreas on a pig, but it's got a lot of lard, so this will definitely sell well.

Jiang Xianya quickly explained the method of making lard soap to Ye Miaoyun in detail.

“Alright, let’s make lard soap, Mother will do as you say.” Ye Miaoyun immediately became interested.

To make lard soap, in addition to lard, river clam shells and wood ash are essential.

Half an hour later, Jiang Xianya, carrying a basket on her back, went out with Ye Miaoyun.

Although she possessed the original owner's memories, this rural life was still quite novel to her, since she had never truly experienced it before.

"Mother, where are we going?" Jiang Xianya asked as they walked.

"Let's go to Yangliu River," Ye Miaoyun said with a smile, turning her head.

"Going fishing?" Jiang Xianya asked curiously, looking at the simple bamboo fishing net in Ye Miaoyun's hand.

She was quite skilled at fishing in her past life.

There is a large lake behind their Taiyi Gate, and there are many fish in the lake, which taste exceptionally delicious.

Unfortunately, they were cultivators, and they practiced the most profound mystical arts in the world. They often fasted with their master and could not indulge their appetites. Therefore, she did not eat much in her life.

I wonder what the fish from Yangliu River tastes like.

"No, we're not fishing, we're fishing for river clams. Didn't you just tell me how to make lard soap? I need to make it as soon as possible." Ye Miaoyun turned her head and smiled, "It's just a pity that we can't eat river clam meat."

“Who says you can’t eat river clams? River clam meat is delicious.” Jiang Xianya chuckled. “Let’s get some river clam meat to take back later. I’ll tell Mother how to cook it. If it’s prepared properly, it’s simply a delicacy.”

She had eaten it in her previous life; it was given to her by her fifth senior brother, and she had only eaten it once.

Yangliu River is just behind the town. It only takes half an hour to walk there from the Ye family's courtyard.

It was still early, and many families were just getting up to prepare breakfast; the riverbank was deserted.

"After breakfast, the riverbank gets much busier. People are washing clothes, fishing, catching fish, and many children come to play. They go down to the river to play in the water when it gets hot. It's very lively," Ye Miaoyun said as she put her basket on the ground.

She felt that after waking up yesterday, she was not only more alert, but also much stronger.

Little did she know, this was all because Ye Xianya used the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish her body.

"Xianya, there's no river over in our Qingya Village, so you've never seen a river clam before. Go sit on that rock over there and rest. I'll scoop some out for you to see." Ye Miaoyun said as she picked up the bamboo net she had brought, intending to scoop out the river clams.

Protecting her daughter is Ye Miaoyun's habit and instinct.

Jiang Xianya definitely wanted to help, but she wasn't in a hurry. Instead, she took a few deep breaths and looked around.

There seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air, but it was so faint that it was hard to detect.

Although her body is weak, her soul is as powerful as it was during her tribulation in her previous life, and her ability to sense danger and anomalies is extraordinary.

Ye Miaoyun scooped around in the river a few times and found several river clams in the bamboo net. She quickly put them in her basket, showed them off to Jiang Xianya, and then ran off to continue scooping.

"Mother, let me help you." Jiang Xianya said as she followed, the smell of blood seeming to linger in the water.

"No need, Mother can do it herself," Ye Miaoyun quickly replied.

My daughter is still a child, not yet of marriageable age; I can't strain her.

There was only one bamboo net, which Zhou used to catch fish. Jiang Xianya couldn't possibly compete with Ye Miaoyun for it, so she had no choice but to stay by her side.

Ye Miaoyun scooped at the net several more times, then suddenly stopped: "Xianya, the bamboo net seems to be caught on the river weeds, I can't pull it out, come and help me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xianya, who was standing behind her, quickly reached out her hand, and the mother and daughter worked together to pull the bamboo net.

As they pulled, Jiang Xianya clearly felt something being pulled towards her from the water, and the faint smell of blood seemed to have become much stronger.

Jiang Xianya immediately pulled Ye Miaoyun behind her and took a few steps forward to check on her.

"What's wrong?" Ye Miaoyun asked, a little confused.

Jiang Xianya frowned slightly as she looked at the things being pulled over by the bamboo net.

Those were hair, and beneath the hair, of course, was a human head; she saw a bloody, mangled face.

Someone had died, and the mother and daughter had dragged the body over.

There was still blood seeping from the corpse's head, indicating that it had not been dead for long.

"Mother, don't look anymore. It's a female corpse with disheveled hair and her head smashed. It's quite terrifying." Jiang Xianya said as she pulled hard on the bamboo net, and the female corpse floated to the surface.

"Xianya, you, you, you... stop! Let's go back quickly," Ye Miaoyun said hastily, afraid that her daughter would reach out and pull the corpse up.

This girl is truly blessed to have received guidance from an immortal and learned mystical arts; she's become much bolder than before. In the past, she would even want to cover her eyes when watching me kill a chicken.

Ye Miaoyun was terrified of the dead. Her legs went weak and she closed her eyes, unable to look at them.

“Mother, it’s not good to let someone die in the water. If we help her, it will be a good deed. I can’t pull her up. Mother, go back and ask Uncle and Uncle to come and help.” Jiang Xianya said, turning her head.

Upon hearing this, Ye Miaoyun nodded hurriedly. She wanted to run back quickly to ask someone for help, but her steps were unsteady and her legs trembled with every step.

After Ye Miaoyun had disappeared from sight, Jiang Xianya squatted down to pull the female corpse out of the river, but after several attempts, she still couldn't pull the person out.

She was still a young girl, and although she was agile, she wasn't very strong.

Jiang Xianya was already considering whether to use the secret techniques of the Taiyi Sect's introductory disciples to refine a foundation-building medicine for herself to improve her physical fitness.

Her soul was strong enough, but her body was too weak. She had great power but couldn't use it, which made her feel a bit top-heavy and uneasy.

However, the medicinal materials needed for Foundation Establishment cannot be found in ordinary pharmacies, and they are also very expensive.

Just as Jiang Xianya was feeling a bit exhausted and was about to give up, she suddenly sensed someone approaching. Before she could turn around, she saw a hand reach out and help her pull the female corpse ashore.
