They followed the big man to his home and pushed open the door of the wooden house. There was a woman cooking inside. When she saw the big man coming back, she greeted him. But when she saw the four of them following the big man, she was stunned for a moment and then looked at them vigilantly.
"Old Yan, who are they?!"
Old Yan smiled and greeted him.
"Wife, these are my distant relatives. They're immortals who have been cultivating. They came to our side to train and have just come to see me. It's rare that the old Lin family still remembers me. A few of the younger ones are here. Don't bother cooking those wild vegetable porridges. Kill the chicken in the yard. Let's have chicken today!"
The woman was still a little skeptical, but seeing Lao Yan's familiar look, she didn't say much. She picked up the kitchen knife and walked towards the yard.
Old Yan asked everyone to sit down.
Shen Qingyi and three others sat down at the somewhat worn wooden table.
Lao Yan is very enthusiastic.
"Xiaoqing, since you finally came to see me this time, why don't you go back later? Few people come to our Hanbing Village anymore, and I've lost contact with most of my relatives and friends. It's so hard for you to come this time, and it makes things a little more lively."
Shen Qingyi remained calm and looked at Lao Yan's face.
Old Yan, including the woman just now, all had a faint blood color on their bodies.
Shen Qing nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you, uncle."
It's a good opportunity for them to investigate here.
Old Yan quickly shook his head.
"No trouble! No trouble!"
The aroma of meat soon wafted from the kitchen.
Shen Qingyi also took out a pot of wine from his storage bag, but it was diluted wine.
The wine brewed from the Ranling fruit is still very fragrant even if it is diluted.
"I haven't had such delicious wine in a long time, thanks to you, Xiaoqing!"
Shen Qing smiled and shook his head.
"I haven't eaten such delicious chicken in a long time. My sister-in-law's cooking is really delicious."
The woman was a little wary at first, but when she saw that the few people were talking very harmoniously and Shen Qingyi even took out some gifts, her expression improved a little.
When she heard Shen Qingyi praising her craftsmanship, she immediately smiled.
"Xiaoqing, if you like, eat more! We mortals don't have so many good things from the immortals, so these are the only ones."
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. You and uncle should eat more too. These things are delicious, each with its own characteristics, but it has to be your cooking skills. Although I'm only in the Qi training stage, I have traveled to many places in the past few years. It's rare to eat such delicious food!"
No one doesn't like to be praised.
Especially being praised by immortals.
The woman's eyes narrowed in laughter.
Lin Shengge on the side wanted to say something, but Shen Qingyi gave him a look and Lin Shengge shut up instantly.
Not to mention that this is a mortal village, they can't go too far.
Moreover, Shen Qingyi discovered that there was something unusual about the entire Hanbing Village.
That blood color...seems to be there and not there.
She also found that from the moment they entered the village, something seemed to be watching them.
They can't alert the enemy yet.
What she said was to let the people who were watching them from behind know that they were just Qigong cultivators and did not have much experience.
At night, Lao Yan cleaned out a guest room and a woodshed in the house for them to stay in.
The night is deep.
The sky near the North Territory is particularly clear.
The sky was full of stars, but a little cold.
Shen Qingyi pulled up his hat, opened the door and yawned.
Just then, Lin Shengge walked out from the woodshed.
"Uncle Lin, it's really cold in Hanbing Village. If I had known earlier, I would have brought some thicker clothes."
As he spoke, he straightened his clothes again.
Lin Shengge cooperated with her performance.
"It's okay. Learn from this experience and you'll have more experience for your next training. Prepare a variety of clothes. When you become stronger, you won't have to be afraid of the cold. Come to think of it, I feel a little cold too. This Ice Forest truly deserves to be the largest forest near the Northern Territory."
Shen Qing nodded.
The two chatted while looking around calmly.
At night, the blood color of Hanbing Village became even darker.
On the first night, there were no particularly obvious discoveries.
The next morning, Lao Yan got up early.
"Xiaoqing, today uncle is going to the mountains to hunt some game for you. There are still a lot of game in our area."
Shen Qing thought about it and then spoke.
"Uncle, my friend knows some martial arts. Let him go with you. It would be great if he could see what he's doing."
The person Shen Qingyi pointed out was a Nascent Soul cultivator from Lingdao Sect.
She was taking precautions in case the thing behind her attacked Lao Yan.
Moreover, Lao Yan is familiar with this area. If he follows him, he might be able to find some useful clues.
Old Yan looked at Wang Shang, who was a little taciturn.
"Your friend is tall and strong! He's obviously a good hunter. Let's go! Together!"
Men have an instinctive passion for hunting.
Lao Yan also had an urge to show off his skills.
Although he was not a cultivator, the people in front of him, except for Lin Shengge and another slightly older person, Shen Qingyi and Wang Shang, did not look very old.
He spent all year long in the mountains and forests, which was just right for these little kids to broaden their horizons.
Wang Shang received Shen Qingyi's gaze and nodded.
"Then Uncle Yan, thank you for your help."
"Hahaha! No trouble! No trouble!"
After Wang Shang and Lao Yan left, only the woman and the three of them were left in the room.
The woman looked at Old Yan, who was in good spirits, and shook her head.
She knew what Lao Yan was thinking.
But she still understood more clearly than Lao Yan.
No matter how incompetent a cultivator is, he is still better than ordinary people.
Otherwise, how could there be a difference between immortals and mortals?
"Don't pay attention to your Uncle Yan. He's just a bad temper. He doesn't even look at his old age. Why is he trying so hard to show off? He'll definitely make a fool of himself in front of Xiao Wang later!"
"Haha! Sister-in-law, Uncle Yan is still young and experienced. My friend might even need some advice from Uncle Yan!"
Although the woman denied it on the surface, she was happy in her heart that her man was praised as being more powerful than an immortal.
"You! You just think highly of your Uncle Yan! But speaking of which, if we're lucky this time and can hunt some good ones, we'll have a sacrifice for the Little New Year Festival in a few days. If the sacrifice is good, who knows, next year might even bring good luck!"
Shen Qingyi's eyes flashed, but he remained calm and the smile on his face remained unchanged.
With the things happening in the Holy King Palace, she paid more attention to the offerings and sacrifices.
Lin Shengge on the side couldn't help but look at the woman.
"Sister-in-law, why haven't I heard of this Little New Year Festival? We don't even have it in our hometown. What kind of day is it?"
The woman sat at the table, picking beans and chatting with them.
"This Little New Year Festival only happens in our area."
