What surprised them most was that a small patch of dark clouds was floating about ten meters above the herb field. They remained motionless, drifting silently. They could even send down a cool raindrop in response to the two senior sisters' incantations.
"this......"
"You're silly, but this is just the simplest spell in our Hidden Immortal Sect. It's called the Minor Cloud and Rain Technique. It can gather the surrounding water vapor and spiritual energy to create a light rain. It's mainly used to water the medicine garden."
"You two, causing trouble in the herb garden again!" A huffy voice came from afar. A beautiful young woman was seen running towards them, looking furious.
The two senior female students immediately chickened out.
"Ah, Fourteenth Sister. We're just helping you water the plants."
"Nonsense! I've told you countless times, you can't just water this medicinal herb garden anytime. You have to do it according to the time of day."
"Let's go, let's go." Realizing they couldn't fool them, the two little demons quickly dragged their junior brother away.
"Senior sister, what was that just now...?"
"Fourteenth Sister is also your senior sister. She studies the Five Elements magic and alchemy under the sect leader. The herb garden is her territory. Let's go, let's go somewhere else."
Hongxiu has her own private pavilion within the sect. This is because she is the only disciple who inherited Lu Xuan's rune techniques. Lu Xuan's runes are a completely new system, combining Taoist talismans with the Valyrian rune system from the Game of Thrones universe, along with his own development.
The complexity of this thing far exceeded expectations. The mother-child rune system alone caused the disciples excruciating headaches. In the end, only the calm and collected Hongxiu persevered and inherited Lu Xuan's rune system.
"This is Sister Hongxiu's Rune Pavilion. We can't understand any of the things she's made, so we won't bother her. This way."
After strolling around Hongxiu's territory, the two little demons led the two boys to the Sword Pavilion. There, the Fu sisters were cultivating.
As human beings, and having entered the Daoist path relatively late, their cultivation progress was not as fast as expected. Therefore, they cultivated even more diligently.
"Sister Fu, look at our junior brother. You two, especially you Lin Jingyu. These two senior sisters specialize in swordsmanship and will be your instructors in the future. Hurry up and pay your respects."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyu hurriedly tried to kneel down, but Fu Qingfeng stopped him.
"Don't listen to their nonsense. There's no need for formalities here. Just call us 'World.' You two are new here, so consider this a small gift."
The two sisters took out two short swords from their person and gave them to the two boys. Coming from a wealthy family in the human world, they naturally understood human relationships better than the demons and monsters. This alone greatly increased the two boys' goodwill towards them.
“My two older sisters are biased; neither of you has ever given us a gift.”
"You two have the nerve to say that? You started learning earlier than us, and you still call us 'senior sisters' all the time. How dare you?"
"That's different. Back then, we weren't even human."
Not human?! These words sent a chill down Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu's spines!

Chapter 407 Returning Home
The two boys followed the two demons cautiously throughout the entire sect. After the demons left, the two immediately huddled together to discuss their plan.
"Jingyu, did you hear that? They're not human!"
"That's right, I even saw a tail behind Senior Sister Xiaobai! I thought I was seeing things. Now it seems they are fox spirits?"
"What should we do? Have we stumbled into a monster's lair?"
"No, we have to leave right away."
“That’s right, let’s go now.” After saying that, the two boys immediately got up, opened the door to peek out, and seeing that no one was outside, they immediately opened the door and ran out.
Little did they know, on the rooftop, two little monsters, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, were sitting there watching them with smiles.
"Little Bai, you scared those two silly boys."
"Hehe, you two cowards. But we can't let them really get away. Master has finally managed to take in two disciples after so many years. If they run away, we'll be in big trouble."
“That’s right.” The two said, getting up to chase after the two ahead.
But as soon as they stood up, they saw that Lu Xuan had appeared in front of them at some point.
"You two are hundreds of years old, yet you act like children, making fun of others. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
"Hmph, Master can punish me however he wants." Little White grumbled somewhat unconvinced.
"You dare talk back!" Lu Xuan raised his hand to slap her. But seeing the three-hundred-year-old girl's angry look, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Do you two think you'll fall out of favor because of your junior brother?"
Lu Xuan immediately understood what the two little demons were thinking. Although their cultivation had reached a certain level, they still retained a childlike heart, seeing themselves as the little girls they used to be. Perhaps it was because demons matured more slowly. In addition, they were pampered by everyone in the sect, which made them mischievous at home all day long.
Now that two even younger ones have arrived, he suddenly feels his position is insecure. Thinking of this, Lu Xuan felt both annoyed and amused.
"You two are really... never mind, let's chase after them later. Follow behind, don't let them get seriously injured."
"Ah, Master, you should make arrangements as soon as possible."
"You'll see once you follow them."
Lu Xuan didn't actually have any plans, since he knew the two children weren't bad people. He didn't arrange any random tests. However, seeing the two little monsters causing trouble, he added a few things on the side.
Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu ran out of the gate, panting. Then they were both dumbfounded, because the valley outside the gate was surrounded by thick fog. They couldn't see more than ten meters ahead.
This made the two boys shrink back, but thinking that there were monsters behind them who wanted to eat them, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush into the mist.
Not far behind, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai started complaining.
