On the first day, until nightfall, Chen Xuan and his group finally hunted down one more demonic beast, and they were all quite large. They sent them back for Bai Hao and his group to process overnight. It wasn't until midnight that Bai Hao and his group finished processing all the demonic beasts.
"Good heavens, the sect leader and the others are too fierce this time! They've hunted so many demonic beasts on just the first day, far more than last year!" After a busy day, Yuan Xingtian and Chuan Yiping complained incessantly.
I'm so tired.
There was absolutely no preparation.
In contrast to their complaints, Xiaoqi's view was different; she was optimistic:
"This year's harvest is quite substantial; I imagine the sect leader and the others are overjoyed in the mountains."
Although it was tiring, the gains were all real and tangible.
The more monsters they hunt during this period, the more food they will have in winter, and the better they will live.
They felt this very deeply. They had experienced it once before this year. Because they hadn't prepared enough monster meat that year, they were starving that winter and could only eat one meal a day.
At that time, Yuan Xingtian was the first to be so hungry that he almost braved the heavy snow to rush into the mountains to find food. If Chuan Yiping hadn't stopped him in time, Yuan Xingtian probably wouldn't be here today.
"Alright, everyone, go back and rest early. The sect leader has found so many demonic beasts today, I'm afraid even more will be brought back tomorrow." Bai Hao got up, stretched, and relaxed his body after a long day.
The others also started shouting and dispersed.
"Take a rest, get some rest before you get tired," Yuan Xingtian kept nagging as they went back to their rooms to sleep.
...
Just as they had predicted, more and more monsters were brought back from the front over the next few days, numbering twenty or thirty each day, almost filling the entire backyard.
Bai Hao and his group worked from day to night every day. Fortunately, they were cultivators, and their stamina was much better than that of ordinary people. So, although Yuan Xingtian and the others complained every day, they were not actually very tired. After a good night's sleep, they would wake up the next day feeling energetic and vigorous.
There were just too many monsters these past few days, twenty or thirty a day. They even felt there were even more monsters in the mountains, but Chen Xuan and his group couldn't handle it. They could only hunt about thirty a day, and they couldn't take any more.
Otherwise, at this rate, this backyard really won't be able to hold that many monsters.
Moreover, in the past few days, Bai Hao could occasionally hear the sounds of some demonic beasts coming from the back mountain. They were very close, probably only a few miles away. This allowed the supply stations stationed along the way to have their fun and catch a few first-tier demonic beasts.
This situation continued for more than ten days before Chen Xuan and his group stopped hunting monsters and retreated from the deep mountains in a large and imposing manner.
"Hahaha, this year is truly a bumper harvest! I don't know what's going on this year, but all those monsters have come out of the deep mountains like crazy, and we can catch them all easily." Chen Xuan, carrying the last batch of monsters, laughed heartily as he reported the situation to Bai Hao and the others.
"It seems like this winter shouldn't be too bad," Bai Hao and the others laughed.
The courtyard was now filled with smoked meat, a dazzling array that made one's mouth water. The storeroom was also crammed full of cured and dried meat.
This is the most fruitful harvest the Shenxuan Sect has ever had.
Moreover, Chen Xuan and his group went in without anyone getting injured and returned with a full load.
Everyone's face was beaming with smiles.
"Xiao Qi, you'll have to work hard tonight to deal with this last batch of monsters. Once you've done that, you can relax tomorrow."
"No problem, Sect Master, don't worry." Before Xiao Qi could speak, Yuan Xingtian was the first to pat his chest and guarantee.
He was originally the one who complained the most, but now he was the most enthusiastic one in front of Chen Xuan, and Bai Hao and the others couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, okay."
Chen Xuan and the others knew Yuan Xingtian's personality, so they didn't say anything, just smiled and patted him on the shoulder before going to rest.
Compared to Bai Hao and the others, Chen Xuan and his group stayed deep in the mountains and had to be on guard at all times, so they were actually the ones who were most tired.
"Alright, Sect Master, don't worry, you'll be able to eat the best smoked meat when you wake up tomorrow!"
Yuan Xingtian waved his hand and shouted, and Chuan Yiping, who was standing next to him, slapped him on the head and said, "Everyone's gone. You said you'd leave these monsters to you."
"Don't be like that, I was just saying it casually. We still need to work together, right?"
Yuan Xingtian immediately changed his expression and said with a grin.
"Look at you!" Chuan Yiping rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, but still bent down and began to drag the last few monsters in.
Yuan Xingtian chuckled and quickly followed, saying, "As expected of Lao Ping, I love you the most!"
"Get lost, stop being disgusting!"
Seeing the two of them, Bai Hao and Xiao Qi smiled helplessly and silently followed, beginning to deal with the monster.
...
Winter comes suddenly.
This winter is indeed very cold. It's only early winter, and snowflakes have already started falling from the sky.
Just a few days ago, it was light snowflakes, but soon after, heavy snow began to fall, and the mountains and forests around Shenxuan Sect were covered in white.
In this kind of weather, Chen Xuan didn't have any requirements for them. They were free to move around every day, and it was fine if they didn't practice their skills. However, he did arrange for people to clear away the snow inside and outside the sect every day, otherwise the entire Shenxuan Sect would be buried in snow in no time.
Under the eaves, Bai Hao sat alone on the steps, quietly watching a few people not far away building snowmen and having a snowball fight, having a great time.
At this moment, Zhao Lin and Xiao Qi came out carrying a large pot of steaming hot meat soup, and Yuan Xingtian immediately called out:
"Come and have some hot soup. Help yourself if you want some. There's plenty, but it might get cold if you come too late."
This year, the Divine Profound Sect has stockpiled three to four times more demon beast meat than in previous years, which is far too abundant. Therefore, Chen Xuan ordered the kitchen to prepare some hot food every day so that everyone could eat and drink together to warm themselves up.
The simplest thing is this meat broth.
Upon hearing this, many disciples stepped forward, ladled out bowls of hot meat soup, and carefully drank it from the side. Soon, the entire sect was filled with the aroma of meat.
Bai Hao also ladled out a bowl; the steaming hot meat soup did indeed warm his whole body.
"Something's wrong! Someone's causing trouble!"
Just then, two disciples ran back from outside the door and said anxiously.
