Yun Lun set off on the journey home, filled with longing for his parents and a desire for home.
However, he also felt quite anxious, as he was merely a substitute for someone else. According to the memories of the original owner, his parents had typical farmer personalities—honest and somewhat dull.
The sun gradually sank in the west, and the moon quietly hung in the sky. His footsteps echoed on the quiet, muddy path, carrying a sense of urgency and anticipation.
He finally arrived at the doorstep, gently pushing open the familiar wooden door. The courtyard was silent, with only the occasional sound of the wind and distant barking of dogs.
Upon opening the door to the house, he found it empty; clearly, his parents had not yet returned.
A wave of unease surged within Yun Lun, but he quickly adjusted his emotions. Perhaps his parents were simply delayed. He decided to prepare a warm dinner for them first.
He walked into the kitchen, which was indeed empty and desolate. For a moment, he felt at a loss about what to do. Perhaps he could take advantage of the remaining daylight to go hunting in the mountains.
He could also look for some herbs suitable for cultivation while he was there. If possible, he might even practice alchemy.
After all, alchemy was quite valued among the various skills in the immortal sect.
With these thoughts in mind, Yun Lun headed toward Azure Peak Mountain nearby. The mountain wasn't large; it was a paradise for both magical beasts and hunters.
Soon, Yun Lun discovered a vast patch of Star Grass. Unfortunately, to most people, it was merely considered a weed.
Due to its abundance and lackluster scent, it didn't seem particularly useful.
However, Yun Lun believed that everything existed for a reason; its presence must indicate some significance.
Or perhaps it has evolved through biological selection to deeply conceal its functional role.
Soon, Yun Lun used the "Analysis" character from the Divine Script.
Segments of information about Star Grass appeared before his eyes.
Star Grass, a first-tier herb, is named for its ability to emit a faint glow at night.
Star Spirit Powder recipe: Star Grass, Spirit Essence Grass, bark of the Century-old Spirit Tree. Preparation method... ratios... heat...
Star Pulse Powder recipe: Star Grass, Strength Fruit, Blaze Grass. Preparation method... ratios... heat...
Star Enlightenment Powder recipe:...
And dozens of other recipes.
Yun Lun felt a bit excited; it was as if he had discovered a bug in the world. As long as he had this talent, there were no secrets in this world that he could not decipher.
Dozens of recipes, most of which used common herbs that were readily available, especially with Star Grass being abundant on Azure Peak Mountain.
Moreover, Yun Lun believed he could make a profit from this.
With low costs and a simple production process that did not require forming pills—since the pill-making process was often quite troublesome—making powders meant he could produce them in large quantities.
Thinking of this, Yun Lun directly took out the sack he carried with him. Unfortunately, he did not have a spatial ring; otherwise, it would have been much more convenient.
Yun Lun felt that, first of all, he needed to prepare three types of powders: Star Spirit Powder, Star Pulse Powder, and Star Soul Powder.
After all, this was the area he urgently needed to improve.
The other materials were also inexpensive; it seemed to be a characteristic of this world, which could be considered a discovery of its secrets.
Under normal circumstances, the emergence of a pill formula relied more on luck. The chances of failure in alchemy were often higher.
Therefore, everyone's choices were based on making changes to the existing foundations.
It was similar to scientific research in his previous life.
Yun Lun gathered everything he needed. After all, the capacity of his sack was limited.
He also spotted a wild boar that did not reach the level of a first-tier monster, and Yun Lun easily dealt with it.
Then he returned home with his harvest.
...
Upon reaching his doorstep, Yun Lun noticed a faint candlelight inside; his parents had probably returned.
Excitedly carrying his items, Yun Lun pushed the door open.
Inside the room, he saw two middle-aged individuals with weathered faces and graying hair.
This is the family of Cloud Discussion in this life.
“Dad, Mom, I’m back,” Cloud Discussion said.
Yun Lun's Mother hurried over and asked, “Why did you come back so suddenly? You didn’t even give us a heads up.”
The father sat nearby, his eyes filled with questions.
He said, “You came home and brought something. Save some money for your own training; you don’t need to worry about things at home.”
“This wasn’t bought; I just got it from the mountain,” Cloud Discussion replied honestly.
Cloud Discussion wanted to make a joke, perhaps boast a little about his abilities, but since his previous self didn’t have that kind of personality, he decided not to show off too much.
“The mountains are very dangerous; don’t go there next time,” Yun Lun's Mother directly criticized.
Cloud Discussion knew she was worried about his safety, so he just smiled sheepishly and rubbed his head, portraying an innocent demeanor perfectly.
“Cultivators are much stronger now; you don’t need to worry unnecessarily,” Yun Lun's Father said.
“Is there something going on this time? Have you run out of money? I can give you some more,” he added as he walked toward the back of the house.
Cloud Discussion quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying, “No need, no need! I came back this time because I have a task. The academy teacher values me and asked me to go to the mountain to get some things.”
Cloud Discussion started rambling on, knowing that his parents were unaware of the true situation at the academy and mostly relied on hearsay; he could say whatever he wanted.
"Alright, alright, my son is indeed very promising." Yun Lun's Mother was very happy, feeling that her years of hard work seemed to have finally paid off.
Cloud Discussion suddenly thought of his previous life; he had worked so hard but ended up with nothing. If his parents knew, they would surely be heartbroken. Perhaps all he could do was to play his role well.
Yun Lun's Father ultimately did not heed Cloud Discussion's advice and took some savings from his room.
It was just a few scattered silver coins, but what they did not know was that in the world of cultivators, silver coins were practically useless.
At the very least, one needed to start with gold coins; above gold coins were spirit stones, which came in low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.
"When you're out there, there are many places to spend money. I don't understand cultivation matters; this is all I can save for you. Just buy what you need when you encounter something necessary. There's nothing special at home that requires spending money, so don't worry about us," Yun Lun's Father said incessantly.
In fact, he was subtly telling Cloud Discussion not to be afraid of spending money.
"Mm." Cloud Discussion responded softly.
"I noticed you seemed upset when you came back before. I didn't know how to ask you then. Has that matter been resolved?" Yun Lun's Father suddenly asked.
