"Nan Yu, Nan Yu!" Nian Wanzhou ran quickly to Nan Yu's side and told him the good news, "That second senior brother who bullied me has been punished by my master, hahaha!"

"Really?! That's so fast! My senior sister told me yesterday that the chances of a direct disciple being punished were slim. I never expected this, hahaha!" Nan Yu happily put her hands on her hips, laughed heartily, and was thoroughly enjoying herself!

"Of course! Master said that Second Senior Brother is a restless person, so he specially locked him up in confinement and also required him to improve his cultivation at the same time!"

"Don't be fooled by the seemingly light punishment. He can't concentrate on his solitary cultivation at all, and besides, Senior Sister has gone out on a training expedition, so he can't go with her. And nobody wants to visit him. Serves him right, hahaha!"

"So that means he has to improve his cultivation level before he can be released? That's too tragic, hahaha." Nan Yu was even happier.

"That way, not only will he stop bullying you, but you won't see Senior Sister either! Oh dear, how tragic!"

The two, one big and one small, stood in the medicinal herb field, laughing gleefully, hands on their hips, looking like two idiots...

After laughing, Nian Wanzhou happily picked up a small hoe and dug at the soil in the medicinal herb field.

She wasn't even as tall as the hoe, but she worked quickly. She would place the hoe behind her and press down with her spiritual power, soon turning over the soil.

Then, with a burst of spiritual power, the soil that had been turned over was covered over the herbs.

Next, cast a spell to summon clouds and bring down rain, and you're done!

The two of them were in charge of four medicinal herb fields. A day would pass quickly by cultivating, harvesting, and managing the herbs. It wasn't troublesome at all; on the contrary, it was quite fulfilling.

After finishing his work early, Nian Wanzhou would go running and jumping, occasionally sneaking off to the training grounds to find those spirit beasts and interact with them.

Let's have another spar to improve our cultivation.

Nan Yu went to the peak of the Fourth Elder to collect spiritual plants, set aside the most precious ones, and then learned how to identify spiritual plants from her fellow disciples.

During this time, Nan Yu also learned some things, such as alchemy and knowledge about harvesting spiritual plants. Although she was not as skilled as her senior brothers, she gained a lot of experience and learned very quickly.

The two of them, one big and one small, keep their daily lives packed full, and they don't find it boring at all; on the contrary, they feel very fulfilled.

...

After returning, Zhao Zhishan rested for a while before going to find his junior sister. He heard that his junior sister was only a little over a year old, a cute little baby.

As a result, he went to the herb field to find his junior sister...

Upon arrival, I saw a little dumpling enthusiastically planting medicinal herbs with a small hoe, and it didn't seem to be taking any effort at all.

It can be said that he handled it with ease.

She was instantly puzzled: Wasn't her junior sister a body cultivator? Why was she planting medicinal herbs with a pill cultivator? How did she end up farming here?

Why didn't Master stop Junior Sister from farming? What's going on here?

Completely baffled, he examined the jade dumpling closely.

Ah, she really is adorable.

She showed no signs of being tanned or rough; her skin remained fair, smooth, and delicate, making even ordinary sect disciple uniforms look adorable on her.

Look at the guy next to her, he's already tanned like a walking charcoal, but she's perfectly fine.

Nan Yu: You're the one who looks like charcoal!

Is it possible that his true form is a black snake, which is why he's a bit black?

Zhao Zhishan looked left and right, carefully comparing them, afraid that he was seeing things, before going up to greet him.

"You must be Junior Sister Nian?" Zhao Zhishan squatted down and touched her chubby cheeks. "So cute!"

Nian Wanzhou blinked her big eyes, took a few steps back, and asked, "You are...?"

"I'm Zhao Zhishan, your third senior brother," Zhao Zhishan said with a smile. "Our master asked me to look after you and teach you a few things."

"Well then, thank you, Third Senior Brother. You can go ahead and do your work. I'm fine here; I don't need to teach anything for now," Nian Wanzhou replied politely, then continued with her work.

"Huh?" Zhao Zhishan was taken aback. This kid is... too mature, isn't he? He doesn't even need to be taught.

Nian Wanzhou continued working diligently: "Yes, there's no need to trouble you, senior brother. I can practice my body and cultivate here as well."

Zhao Zhishan stared blankly at the little girl's back. He prided himself on being a king of children, yet he couldn't understand what this child was thinking. Had she... fallen in love with farming?

Nan Yu arrived at this moment, looking at Zhao Zhishan with some confusion, as he had never seen this senior brother before.

“Nan Yu, this is my third senior brother.” Nian Wanzhou explained at the right time, “Third senior brother, this is my older brother, Nan Yu.”

"Greetings, Third Senior Brother." Nan Yu quickly put down her hoe and greeted him, "Third Senior Brother, are you here to take Wanwan to practice?"

"Well, not anymore. Let her stay here to study. It's all the same." Zhao Zhishan agreed with a smile, thinking to himself that this girl was quite clever.

Anyway, the little dumpling doesn't seem to be planning to leave, so we might as well let it stay here and continue its training.

It doesn't matter where you take care of your child.

This place looks more like a cattle herding area...

Zhao Zhishan wasn't in a hurry to leave. He sat down to meditate and gather his energy, feeling relaxed and at ease.

Instead of digging for medicinal herbs, Nan Yu picked flowers and tucked one into Nian Wanzhou's hair, watching her big, dark eyes dart around.

Nan Yu couldn't resist reaching out and poking her cheek, laughing, "This color isn't pretty, how about we change it?"

Nian Wanzhou shook her head and replied with a grin, "I like this color, no need to change it!"

Seeing how much she liked it, Nan Yu affectionately patted her little head and then ignored her, lowering her head to start digging for herbs.

Zhao Zhishan had noticed the loving interaction between the brother and sister long ago, and suddenly felt that he was getting in the way, but he didn't want to leave.

I'm so envious... I suddenly wish I had such a cute little sister too.

Watching that scene, Zhao Zhishan felt an itch to do something himself.

So he quietly walked into the medicinal herb field, and seeing this small garden of herbs made him feel very satisfied.

Every plant and tree here was planted by the cultivators themselves, making it exceptionally beautiful.

Looking at the colorful flowers around him and smelling their fragrant aroma, Zhao Zhishan felt even more relaxed.

All the unpleasant things that happened during my trip home suddenly became clear. No wonder my junior sister wanted to study here. Staying here, looking at those vibrant spiritual plants, can calm one's mind and bring sudden enlightenment.

So he sat by the edge of the herb patch, watching the seedlings and plants in the small herb garden grow strong and healthy, his heart filled with anticipation.

Before we knew it, the sun slowly set, the sunset painted the sky red, and the sky gradually darkened.

Nan Yu and Nian Wanzhou put down their shovels, looked up at the sky, and then emerged from the herb garden to have dinner with Zhao Zhishan.
