Xinmiao Village, Dongjia.

"Master, the food is still warm in the pot. Please come in quickly, I'll serve you the dishes right away." Mother Dong said warmly, wiping away her tears.

Dong Xuan respectfully said, "Immortal Master, please come inside."

Qin Luo and the others entered the house. The room was bare and drafty, but the lighting was not bad. It was alright now, but if it were winter, they would definitely get sick from the cold.

Xuanqing placed His wooden stake in the corner of the wall.

The square wooden table had many cracks, and bowls and chopsticks were set on it, along with two cold dishes: cold pig's ear salad and cold houttuynia cordata salad. Just looking at them made them look delicious.

Dong's mother and Dong Xuan brought out nine large bowls that had been steamed in advance from the kitchen, including steamed pork hock, steamed spare ribs, stuffed pork belly, sweet braised pork belly, and so on. These are all common dishes served at banquets.

Steaming hot, with a wonderful aroma filling the air.

The cold room became warm.

"It smells so good!"

Xuan Qing swallowed hard.

Seeing that they hadn't touched their chopsticks, Madam Dong became a little nervous. "Immortal Master, why aren't you eating?"

Qin Luo smiled and said, "The cooks haven't even sat down yet, how can we eat first?"

"Immortal Master, please eat first, you don't need to wait for me."

"I couldn't possibly accept that."

"I can just stand."

"That won't work."

Qin Luo smiled and shook his head.

Madam Dong had intended to stand while serving them their meal, but upon hearing Qin Luo's reply, she could only sit down cautiously.

Dong Xuan carried a jar of wine into the room, on which was written the character for "happiness." "Immortal Master, let me pour you some wine."

"Let's not open this jar of wine."

Qin Luo could sense that this jar of wine held extraordinary significance.

Without hesitation, Dong Xuan opened the jar of wine, and the aroma of the wine immediately filled the air. He said with great enthusiasm, "Immortal Master, this jar of wine was left to me by my father to celebrate. Now is the most worthwhile time to celebrate."

"Too."

Qin Luo nodded with a smile.

Dong Xuan poured wine for Qin Luo and Hua Ying. When he poured wine for Xuan Qing, the latter shook his head and said seriously, "Big brother said that children can't drink alcohol."

"I'll have soup."

"I'll have soup too."

Xuanqing and Xiaodie said with a smile.

Madam Dong stood up and served Xuanqing and Xiaodie a bowl of pig's blood soup. "This pig's blood is very tender. You should try it."

"Thank you, sister."

Xuan Qing grinned.

Mrs. Dong blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Qin Luo knew that Xuan Qing could drink alcohol, and he didn't allow him to drink because he didn't want him to develop a habit of drinking.

Madam Dong was a little reserved and didn't know what to say. Dong Xuan picked up a bowl of wine, his eyes filled with gratitude, "Immortal Master, thank you for saving my life. I'll drink this bowl first."

Qin Luo picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing, he turned the bowl over to show Dong Xuan.

Not a single drop of wine was left.

This scene brought tears to Dong Xuan's eyes.

Since Dong Xuan's father passed away, he has rarely played with the children in the village, and the villagers look at him strangely. However, Qin Luo has given him a respect he has never shown before.

Watching Dong Xuan and the immortal master drink, Dong's mother was filled with satisfaction. She secretly turned away and wiped her eyes.

Dong Xuan forced back her tears.

He refilled Qin Luo's bowl with wine.

Qin Luo picked up the bowl and smiled, "Madam Dong, to celebrate your recovery, let's have a bowl together."

"Thank you, Immortal Master."

Mother Dong picked up the bowl with trembling hands.

Qin Luo smiled and said earnestly, "Drink as much as you can, don't force yourself."

"Master, I have a high alcohol tolerance."

"That's good."

Xuanqing and Xiaodie picked up the pig's blood soup.

Hua Ying also picked up her bowl and clinked it against Qin Luo's.

After drinking the wine, the previously reserved Madam Dong relaxed considerably and said warmly, "Immortal Master, please eat more food."

"We won't hold back!"

Qin Luo laughed heartily, as if he were at home. He first put a whole pork knuckle on Xuan Qing's plate, then a piece of spare rib on Xiao Die's plate, and finally a piece of tender meat on Hua Ying's plate.

Hua Ying then picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of the sliced ​​meat.

"Is it tasty?"

"tasty."

Qin Luo then placed another large chopstick on her plate.

"Thank you!"

Hua Ying glared at Qin Luo, but a charming smile played on her lips. Eating these dishes was no different from Qin Luo eating spiritual medicine; it was all a waste. It wasn't that she didn't like to eat them.

Qin Luo ate the houttuynia cordata with gusto.

...

"So full!"

Qin Luo put down his chopsticks and bowl.

Seeing Qin Luo put down his chopsticks, Xuan Qing and Xiao Die followed suit, as there were still many dishes left on the table.

Madam Dong said warmly, "Immortal Master, look how many dishes there are left. Why don't you stay here and play for a couple more days?"

Qin Luo knew that the Dong family had slaughtered their pig for the New Year and didn't want to eat all their leftovers, so he smiled and said, "Madam Dong, thank you for your kindness, but we still have a long way to go, so we won't stay here tonight."

Dong Xuan ran into the kitchen and brought out a basket of glutinous rice cakes, along with about ten other glutinous rice cakes wrapped in leaves. "Immortal Master, take these with you on your journey."

"Ah Xuan is so thoughtful."

Mother Dong echoed in agreement.

Qin Luo understood their feelings, so he put the glutinous rice cake into Xuan Qing's pocket and said with a smile, "The big black snake in Leiguang Gorge is now the mountain god of Leiguang Peak. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can ask Him for help."

"The Mountain God?!"

"I've got it!"

Dong Xuan nodded emphatically.

"Could you take us to see the Golden Flower Goddess?"

"Immortal Master, this way please."

Dong Xuan led the way.

Qin Luo and his group followed Dong Xuan to the Temple of the Golden Flower Goddess. On the way, they encountered many villagers from Xinmiao Village, who looked at Qin Luo and his group with curiosity in their eyes.
