Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1279: Chapter 1279: Entering the Daoist Temple

After lulling the two little ones to sleep, the couple chatted with Zhan Yunzhao in the hall.

Qi Yan and the other two had already reached the mountaintop, and along the way, they really discovered a lot of good things, all of which Qi Hong recorded.

"Elder Brother, this place is also called Shushan, but it’s nothing like the Shushan we stayed at."

"It’s indeed different."

"I wonder how the Shushan Sect is doing now?"

"We no longer have any ties with them."

"That’s true. But I still hope they can overcome their difficulties. Cultivation is not easy."

"Qi Wen, you worry too much. They won’t have any problems over there. I believe if they sent us over, there must be a silver lining."

"Let’s hope that’s the case."

As they were chatting, a leopard came running over, followed by more than a dozen other leopards.

"Is this a family coming over?"

"Probably?"

"Elder Brother, look, that leopard is staring at us."

It likely still remembers Mom; animals have an incredibly keen sense of smell, and we must carry Mom’s scent.

The three siblings stood chatting there, with over a dozen leopards sitting across from them.

Qi Wen smiled and waved at the leading leopard.

It actually came towards the three of them, and after a fierce command made the other leopards obediently sit down.

Qi Wen smiled and patted the leopard sitting in front of her, surprisingly seeing a satisfied expression on its face.

"Haha, can animals really make such expressions?"

"It must have been pretty clever before gaining intelligence."

"Alright, I’m not the one you’re looking for, but don’t worry, she’ll definitely come to see you. You just need to wait."

After Qi Wen finished, she patted its head again.

"You can go now, we also need to leave."

The leopards left, and the siblings descended the mountain as well.

Returning to the daoist temple, they saw their younger brothers playing in the courtyard, and the two little ones walking in an amusing way.

Su Yuanyuan looked at the three older siblings who had returned, "How was it?"

"We saw that leopard. It was really smart."

"You just wanted to go see that leopard?"

"Yeah, curious, wasn’t it? Mom, I told it that you’d go see it."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes, I will go have a look."

Qi Yan, feeling bored, practiced swordsmanship in the courtyard with a tree branch.

Zhan Yunzhao and Wan Zhongming came over and stood at the side watching.

Qi Yan was particularly focused while practicing swordsmanship, unaffected by external distractions.

Qi Wen played with the two young ones, while Qi Hong went back to organize his notes.

After Tan Shaoting came out, Zhan Yunzhao approached him, "Xiao Tan, Qi Yan’s swordsmanship is excellent."

Tan Shaoting didn’t say anything, but it was evident he wanted to learn. Whether to teach Daoist Zhan was up to Qi Yan.

After an hour, Qi Yan stopped, and Zhan Yunzhao and his junior brother had been watching all along.

Qi Yan walked over and nodded to the two daoists in greeting.

"Qi Yan, can you teach us this swordsmanship?"

Qi Yan paused for a moment and nodded. What he had just practiced was ordinary swordsmanship—ordinary for the Cultivation World—but here it seemed very powerful.

"Sure, I can write it down for you."

Zhan Yunzhao smiled warmly, giving off a true immortal’s aura.

Qi Yan didn’t dawdle and went directly back to his room to write it down.

In fact, the formulas weren’t many, and by dinner time, he had already written them.

"Qi Yan, thank you, I’ll make sure to credit you. Plus, I hope you can guide us when we practice."

Qi Yan nodded, "No problem."

That night, none of the family entered the space. Early the next morning, Qi Yan and the other two practiced, while Tan Shaoting made porridge.

Qi Wen played with the two younger brothers, who now preferred walking on their own.

After breakfast, the family ascended the mountain again.

They reached the mountaintop again. Su Yuanyuan saw the leopard sitting there waiting.

The leopard, seeing Su Yuanyuan, came rushing over directly.

It circled around Su Yuanyuan, and anyone could see its joy.

Su Yuanyuan smiled and patted its head. "Have things been good these years?"

The leopard actually nodded, rubbing against Su Yuanyuan.

Just like a pet at home acting spoiled with its owner.

Su Yuanyuan stroked its fur, "As long as it’s good."

Initially, she just wanted to find a protector for the goat, so that it wouldn’t be eaten by other animals on the mountain. But it couldn’t adapt.

"We have to leave; take care of yourself."

You can talk to animals without any pressure.

Although the leopard had gained intelligence, it was really just like a two or three-year-old child. It didn’t understand when Su Yuanyuan said they were leaving.

The two little ones were very curious about the leopard. Qi Wen brought them to the leopard’s front.

"Lie down, it can’t be reached."

The leopard obediently lay down. Qi Hao and Qi Xuan clambered all over it, pulling at its fur with no sense of restraint.

It acted just like a well-behaved big dog, letting them roughhouse without moving even if it hurt.

"Mom, you should definitely keep a spirit pet in the future. That way Qi Hao and Qi Xuan will behave."

Su Yuanyuan laughed and shook her head, "I don’t like it. It’s too much work and requires effort."

Qi Wen listened to her mom, "True, when I raised a Vajra Rat back then and released it before coming back, I felt it was a lot of trouble too."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "With anything, you get what you put in. If you want to raise something, you have to be dedicated."

Tan Shaoting came over to watch his two little sons. Qi Wen went to chat with her mom.

"Mom, how long have you been living here?"

"Over two months. It’s indeed a lot more peaceful here."

"Hmm, the environment here is nice, our Second Brother loves it."

Qi Hong wasn’t here as he went to look for herbs.

"Mom, Elder Brother went to Sword One Peak back then, and Second Brother and I went to Spirit Plant Peak. You see, our Second Brother really loves these herbs, while I’m just a dabbler.

I really don’t know what I like or what I’m good at."

"Just keep looking slowly in the future. What’s there to worry about?"

"I guess that’s all I can do; I’ll also try to cultivate some interests in the future."

They didn’t return for lunch, and since Qi Yan and the other two didn’t like grilled meat, Tan Shaoting roasted a wild chicken for his wife.

Su Yuanyuan brought out the dipping sauce from the space, and it tasted pretty good.

They carried on a routine life in the mountains.

Five days later, Zhan Yunzhao and his junior brother could already fully practice the swordsmanship.

"Daoist Zhan, we’re leaving this place. Farewell for now."

"Xiao Su, I have a feeling that seeing each other again might be hard after this parting?"

"Our family will be wandering with no fixed abode in the future. Whether we meet again depends on fate."
