The "Ordinary" Little Courtyard

After returning to his small courtyard and busying himself for over an hour, Mu Feiyang finally managed to process some Purple Thorn Spirit Rice into milk powder. He then prepared about a hundred milliliters and began feeding it to his daughter.

The Purple Thorn Spirit Rice was a type of rice rewarded by the system previously. Mu Feiyang found its taste to be quite good, so he had cleared a paddy field behind Laga Village to plant some himself.

Laga Village had a small population, with less than ten households and a total of just over fifty people. Mu Feiyang's home was located at the easternmost end of Laga Village, meaning it was the furthest inside.

Mu Feiyang's predecessor had been raised by the villagers. Due to the absence of parents, he had become taciturn, and after reaching adulthood, his introverted nature only deepened, leading to fewer and fewer interactions with the villagers.

In any case, Mu Feiyang was now an adult, and his ability to survive on his own was his own business. After Mu Feiyang transmigrated and took over his predecessor's body, being from two different worlds, he felt even less of a connection to those villagers.

The main reason was his fear of revealing any flaws and being discovered as another soul possessing the body. After all, this was a world of cultivators.

Mu Feiyang's small courtyard was very quiet, but he himself lived a rather leisurely life, especially in recent years. He would either feed the koi in the pond or tend to his flowers and plants.

When he was bored, he would also take Little Black out hunting. Now, with a daughter, Mu Feiyang's life had become more demanding.

Watching his daughter greedily drink the milk powder, Mu Feiyang felt a sense of fulfillment.

"Ling'er is so good!"

Seeing that his daughter had finished the milk powder in just a short while, Mu Feiyang couldn't help but plant another kiss on her chubby little face, which made his daughter burst into laughter again.

Mu Feiyang didn't prepare more milk powder. Although the Purple Thorn Spirit Rice didn't contain much Spiritual Energy, his daughter was only a few months old, and he didn't dare let her consume too much.

Before long, Mu Qingling fell asleep in Mu Feiyang's arms. Mu Feiyang gently placed his daughter on his bed. He wondered what realm she would reach when she woke up and felt a sense of anticipation.

Mu Feiyang left the room and came out into the small courtyard. He planned to go out and procure some things for his daughter. Previously, when he lived alone, he could be casual about things, but now he couldn't let his daughter be wronged.

"Little Black, I'm going out for a bit and will be back soon. You have to help me watch my daughter. Otherwise, when I get back, I'll stew you."

Woof woof! Woof woof!

Little Black barked twice in a very human-like manner, wagging its tail and shaking its head, looking very cute, as if making a promise to Mu Feiyang.

Seeing Little Black's appearance, Mu Feiyang's figure disappeared from the small courtyard. Not long after Mu Feiyang left, the previously quiet courtyard suddenly became lively.

Little Black, who had been a black dog, transformed into a young man and sat down at the entrance of the room, seemingly guarding Mu Qingling who was sleeping inside.

As Little Black transformed into a human, several koi from the pond suddenly flew up and also took on human form. They were all young men and women.

Then, the flowers and plants that Mu Feiyang had planted also transformed into humans and gathered in front of Mu Feiyang's room.

"That's great! Master now has a little master. He probably won't have as much time to manage me from now on. I can finally grow freely."

"Brother Hei, can we go in and see the little master?"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost! The little master is sleeping right now! What if you disturb the little master if you go in? I don't want to end up on the dinner table yet!"

"Brother Hei, we just want to take a look. We definitely won't disturb the little master. Just let me have one glance!"

"Scram, you mongrel, I'm going in to see the little master."

Some figures were polite to Little Black, but others looked down on him. At this moment, a woman in a fiery red dress spoke impolitely.

"Who are you calling a mongrel, you old hen? My true form is a Qilin, the only Ink Jade Qilin in existence. You'd better show me some respect from now on, or be careful Master doesn't 'chop' you when he returns."

Little Black, who had been sitting at the entrance, stood up abruptly upon hearing the red-clothed woman's words, retorting somewhat indignantly.

"Who are you calling an old hen, you mongrel? I am of the Phoenix clan, with an undying bloodline. I am a phoenix, not the old hen you see."

The red-clothed woman also became furious upon hearing Little Black's words. Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, everyone else could only shake their heads helplessly.

It was only a little better when the Master was at home. If the Master went out, these two were bound to fight.

"Alright, you two, restrain yourselves!"

"If we startle the little master, none of us can bear the consequences. Won't we have plenty of time to see the little master later? Why the rush?"

Just as the two were about to continue their argument, the ancient tree in the middle of the courtyard transformed into an old man who came before them and said sternly.

"Ancestor!"

"Ancestor!"

Upon seeing the old man appear, everyone present greeted him respectfully. This was because the old man's true form was a Bodhi tree, and it was the first one Mu Feiyang had planted. Furthermore, the Bodhi tree's cultivation was the highest among them all.

Therefore, whether it was the Ink Jade Qilin, the Undying Phoenix, the Heavenly Dragon Clan, or the exotic flowers and plants, everyone respected him as their ancestor.

"Disperse, everyone!"

"Yes, Ancestor!"

After responding, everyone transformed back into their true forms and returned to their respective positions. Only Little Black remained sitting there.

Suddenly, Little Black, who had been sitting at the entrance, instantly transformed back into a small black dog and then lay down at the entrance.

And just as Little Black transformed into a dog, a figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard – it was Mu Feiyang, who had just left.

He had gone out to buy some daily necessities for his daughter. However, after looking around, he found that none of the items met his satisfaction.

Mu Feiyang decided to personally refine them for his daughter. He returned to the room and checked on his daughter, finding her still asleep and seemingly quite happy.

Afterward, Mu Feiyang entered the system space and began to refine the items his daughter needed. The first thing Mu Feiyang intended to refine was a milk bottle for his daughter.

Mu Feiyang took out a piece of Marrow-Generating Jade. This was a critical drop he obtained after binding to the system for one year, a divine-grade ore.

The main function of Marrow-Generating Jade was purification. No matter what substance passed through its purification, its quality would be elevated by several grades.

Even if ordinary water was stored in Marrow-Generating Jade, it could purify the water into spiritual liquid. It was an extremely precious material, and Mu Feiyang found it perfect for refining a milk bottle for his daughter.

If the old fellows in the Immortal Spirit Realm knew what Mu Feiyang was doing, they would definitely call him a spendthrift for using a divine-grade material to refine a milk bottle.
