Jian Ning could be said to have been forced into this world, and she didn't feel a strong sense of belonging here. Besides, she was a cultivator, and she should have abandoned all emotions and desires in order to hope for the Great Dao.

In other words, she was naturally lazy and didn't constantly pursue immortality like others. Her interests were simply in food and drink, and a peaceful, stable life.

Now that she's here, all she wants is to live happily with her family. She might lend a hand to others if she feels like it, but she doesn't really want to change their lives, except for Xiao Lingfeng, of course.

For now, my family members are at least well-fed and clothed at the base, and that's enough for now. One shouldn't be too greedy.

Forget about thinking about this now. Let's find a breakthrough as soon as possible and get through this hurdle. Otherwise, Xiao Lingfeng outside will be getting anxious.

Thinking of this, Jian Ning looked up at Xiao Wuyu. He looked so alike that Jian Ning now seriously suspected he was the reincarnation of Xiao Lingfeng from another life; otherwise, how could the two be so similar? What a pity.

We can't bring Xiao Lingfeng in with us, otherwise, if we let him meet Xiao Wuyu, their expressions would definitely be quite interesting.

"Miss Jane, is there something that makes you happy?"

Xiao Wuyu watched as Jian Ning bit her chopsticks, her eyes fixed on his face, a smile playing on her lips, yet she was clearly lost in thought. He couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just remembered a friend. You look very similar to him."

If it weren't for the significant age difference, I would have thought you were twins. If there's a chance in the future, I'd like to introduce you two.

"Oh? I'd really like to get to know you."

Xiao Wuyu had never seen anyone who looked the same as another person without any blood relation. After hearing Jian Ning's explanation today, he finally understood why Jian Ning was so shocked when she first met him.

“I have prepared plenty of talismans and pills. Tonight, let’s explore the thick fog again. Tomorrow, I plan to go to the bottom of the cliff. Brother Xiao, you don’t need to accompany me.”

Jian Ning also picked up her chopsticks and began to eat heartily, telling Xiao Wuyu about her plans as she did so.

"Are you leaving?" Xiao Wuyu paused for a moment before asking.

"That's not certain. I don't know when I'll be leaving either."

If possible, I'll try to say goodbye before I leave. If not, please don't look for me. Maybe one day I'll suddenly come back.

"By the way, you can give these improved seeds to the villagers to cultivate, and I'll leave you some livestock. They can also be used for breeding in the future."

Jian Ning has discovered that the villagers here only raise pheasants and rabbits; they don't raise any domestic poultry.

The various chickens, ducks, and geese in my space have already multiplied quite a bit. I'll leave a little of each for them later.

The environment here is quite suitable for livestock. Although she doesn't have the ability to take all these people out of here for the time being, she can still improve their living standards.

"Miss Jian is kind and compassionate. She has the world in her heart and will surely achieve great things in the future." Xiao Wuyu made no attempt to hide his admiration for her.

"Brother Xiao, please don't say that. I only have a little ability to help them, and there's nothing else I can do."

As Jian Ning spoke, she stepped out of the treehouse and waved her hand, and twenty chickens, ducks, geese, cows, sheep, and pigs appeared on the ground.

Leave all of this to Xiao Wuyu. As for how the villagers raise their livestock, she doesn't need to worry about that.

Xiao Wuyu peeked out from the treehouse, glanced at the livestock below, and suddenly let out a long howl. Within two minutes, a middle-aged man in his forties came running out of the village.

Upon arriving, he immediately noticed the livestock on the ground, his eyes widening in surprise. Nevertheless, he respectfully approached the treehouse, first glancing curiously at Jian Ning.

Then, he clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Xiao Wuyu on the treehouse: "What are your orders, Master Xiao?"

"These livestock are to be entrusted to you so that the villagers can raise them together. The offspring will be distributed by the village. At the end of the year, we will improve everyone's diet."

"Thank you, Master Xiao. On behalf of the villagers, I, Wu, kowtow to you." Before the man could finish speaking...

He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed more than ten times in a row. After standing up, he looked at the chickens, sheep, pigs, and horses not far away. He was so excited that he almost cried.

This is all meat. The most precious things here are grain crops and these livestock that can be raised.

Wild game caught in the mountains can be used for animal husbandry, but it doesn't taste as good as domesticated livestock.

With careful tending, these livestock can multiply and thrive. Their numbers will only increase, and suddenly there seems to be hope for the future.

He didn't ask where all these things came from. Master Xiao was no ordinary person. Since he had guests visiting, he wouldn't be surprised if they brought something.

So he ran back to the village and called the villagers over to help drive the livestock back to the village.

Watching them walk away excitedly, Xiao Wuyu smiled and bowed to Jian Ning.

"Miss Jian, I won't say any more thanks. Shall we continue learning about formations?"

"Okay, I'll be right there." Jian Ning was naturally delighted. With such a good, ready-made mentor, why not learn as much as possible? Otherwise, the trip would be a waste.

Xiao Wuyu shared all his knowledge with her that afternoon, and she benefited greatly from it.

The two waited until it was completely dark before entering the thick fog again.

When Jian Ning encountered the mist beast again this time, she showed no mercy, immediately unleashing various lightning-type talismans.

They threw things at them like they were free, and soon the animals were too scared to come forward and scattered in all directions. This also sped up their journey.

Jian Ning's goal was very clear. She led Xiao Wuyu all the way to the edge of the cliff. By the light above their heads, they could vaguely see that the thick fog below the cliff was even thicker and was rising up continuously.

“Brother Xiao, why don’t you go back first? I’ll go down and take a look. It’s really strange that there’s fog every night. During the day, we can’t find the source of the fog at all.”

"It's too dangerous. Miss Jian, you'd better give up this idea," Xiao Wuyu immediately said, trying to dissuade her.

“It’s alright, I can protect myself if I encounter danger. Take these lightning talismans first. I’ll go down there for an hour. If I’m not back by then, go back to the treehouse. We’ll meet again in a while.”

Jian Ning thought that since she wouldn't die anyway, what was there to be afraid of? She had already come this far, and maybe this was the key to passing the level. How could she be satisfied if she didn't explore it?

He pulled a handful of talismans from his pocket and shoved them into Xiao Wuyu's hand. Without waiting for his consent, he jumped down. This was tantamount to suicide.

Although Xiao Wuyu knew Jian Ning wouldn't be that stupid, he still shouted "Be careful!" from behind.
