“`The Qian Family knew their limits and retreated, so they hadn’t troubled him for many days.Mo Hua was happy for the break and started to continue with his own affairs.The Refinery Shop and Alchemist’s Business had been established, so he didn’t have to worry about them anymore, and there was another matter he had wanted to plan for a while.One afternoon, An Xiaofu came over to eat again.He was drinking wine, eating meat, and chatting with everyone.Perhaps inheriting his mother’s talent, An Xiaofu had a strong ability to listen to gossip and to gossip himself.When he listened, people loved to talk; when he talked, people loved to listen.Mo Hua waved him over.Seeing this, An Xiaofu was slightly taken aback, but then his expression brightened, and he scurried over immediately.When he got close, he saw that there was nothing on the table in front of Mo Hua and couldn’t help but look puzzled:“No food?”Mo Hua felt helpless; it seemed An Xiaofu thought he had been called over f

Fulu Building took up a large space, and to express goodwill towards Mo Hua, Old Master An bought three adjacent buildings and renovated them into the Food Building.The location was also very good, facilitating north-south traffic with a constant flow of people.Because it was on South Main Street, the area was affordable, so the cost in Spirit Stones wasn’t considered much, at least not for the An Family.Fulu Building had two floors; the second floor contained private rooms and the first floor was the main hall, with some tables and benches seated outside as well.The entire Fulu Building could accommodate many diners, and also offered meat snacks for takeout.The recipes used in the Food Building were provided by Liu Ruhua, which included various cooking methods for Monster Beast meat. After long-term research and improvement by Liu Ruhua, the flavors were rich and unique.The stove in the Food Building was a top-grade stove, large and adorned with a top-grade Compound Formation,

However, that would be something to consider after the New Year had passed.Recently, there had been many things to deal with, which had been quite distracting, and drawing Formations had also been quite tiring. At least for this New Year, Mo Hua could relax a bit and not have to worry too much.But Mo Hua soon realized that even without considering cultivation and Formations, there were still many things to be busy with.Because there were gifts to give and return.Moreover, many of those gifts required Mo Hua to deliver, and many needed Mo Hua to reciprocate.Previously, he was just an obscure little cultivator, and naturally, there was nothing to be concerned about.But now, having become a somewhat renowned Junior Formation Master, and knowing many cultivators, some exchanges had become unavoidable.For instance, the old Court Leader from the Taoist Court had sent him a Jade Pendant, and the An Family had sent some fine wine and Spiritual Meat, along with other smaller clans who h

Mo Hua returned home, took out the gifts from his storage bag, and handed them to his parents to help keep safe.Mo Shan and Liu Ruhua exchanged a glance, both somewhat astonished.They didn’t know when it started, but the number of cultivators with whom Mo Hua was acquainted had grown so large, and most were figures of status in Tongxian City, like Court Leaders, Supervisors, Family Heads, Elders, Formation Masters, and the like….To receive so many gifts for the New Year.Whenever Mo Hua went out, he brought back some gifts, and when he didn’t, people would still deliver presents to his house.The gifts, big and small, almost filled the house to capacity.Mo Hua set the storage bag down, collapsed into a chair, and sighed like an adult, “So busy!”Liu Ruhua watched and couldn’t help but smile.Then Mo Hua said, “Mom, I’m hungry.”“Save some room for dinner tonight. I’ll get you some osmanthus cake; just have a little bit.”“Okay,” Mo Hua nodded.Liu Ruhua brought Mo Hua some osmanth

Mo Shan chuckled and nodded, “Right.”“Are monster beasts very difficult to deal with?”“Indeed, they are not easy to handle. Monster beasts have profound blood qi and tough skin and flesh. It usually takes five or six cultivators of the same realm to have a chance of killing a monster beast. To be safe, it’s best to have eight or nine.”Bai Zisheng thought for a moment and asked, “Then, do you think I could kill a monster beast on my own?”“On your own… Killing a monster beast is out of the question, being killed is more like it,” Mo Hua remarked as he gnawed on a chicken leg in silence.Bai Zisheng, not convinced, gave him a slight glare.Mo Shan couldn’t help but chuckle, “Not now, but in the future, when your cultivation is higher, you might have great potential.”Bai Zisheng was greatly encouraged.“Dad, lying is not right,” said Mo Hua.Bai Zisheng, feeling indignant, retorted, “Uncle Mo is a Monster Hunter, he surely knows better than you.”He had asked Mo Hua before if he coul
