Temple Livestream

The journey back was much quicker.

Unlike the cautious pace of exploring the forest, where Ning Fei had to navigate hazards and search for rare mountain treasures, the return trip was straightforward. Having found valuable resources like Dendrobium purple skin, he didn't need to linger.

"The outer area of Sanyin was already rewarding," Ning Fei thought. "When I'm better prepared, I'll venture deeper next time."

Sanyin, with its lack of sunlight and humid conditions, was a haven for rare fungi and medicinal herbs. While the outer forest had yielded valuable finds, the deeper regions likely held even greater treasures.

By the time Ning Fei returned to his Taoist temple, it was nearing 6 PM. He ended his live broadcast for the day, feeling satisfied with his discoveries.

First, he contacted [Jiang Zi] from Xuanhu Medical Hall to confirm the delivery details for the precious Dendrobium and white jade Ganoderma. The transaction would take place at the Xuanhu Medical Hall in the city near Qinshan Village. This established chain of traditional Chinese medicine clinics was renowned for its fairness in trade.

The deal, which amounted to 400,000 yuan, was significant for Ning Fei. While Jiang Feng was professional in verifying the goods before transferring the payment, Ning Fei found no issue with this precaution.

After feeding the little falcon—who had been impatiently awaiting his return—Ning Fei arranged transport to the city. In these remote areas, villagers often relied on private drivers to navigate the winding roads. Ning Fei called a familiar driver, Master Liu, to take him to the city.

"Ning Fei, going down the mountain so late? Must be boring staying up there all the time," Master Liu joked, steering his well-worn vehicle through the mountain roads.

Ning Fei smiled but remained focused on his task.

At the Xuanhu Medical Hall, an elder was waiting for him. After inspecting the medicinal materials and confirming their quality, the promised 400,000 yuan was transferred to Ning Fei's account.

"Being rich feels great," Ning Fei thought with a grin as he left the clinic.

By the time he returned to the Taoist temple, it was already past 9 PM. The quiet night of the countryside greeted him, with the stars shining brightly above. Despite his exhaustion, Ning Fei couldn't resist practicing his sword dance under the moonlight. His movements were graceful, blending seamlessly with the serene environment.

The fertile soil was added to his vegetable garden, enriching about 9 square meters of land. The intermediate poultry feed was set aside for the little falcon, and the breath-holding card was stored for future underwater exploration.

That night, Ning Fei slept soundly, his achievements fueling dreams of future adventures.

As the sun rose the next day, he stood ready for another live broadcast, eager to share his journey with the world once more.
