Kun Yuan placed the order for everything the master wanted and stood off to the side, waiting for the shop owner to fry the food. At the same time, she perked up her ears, secretly eavesdropping on the two men's conversation.

The other man sighed, but his voice carried excitement. "Not bad, not bad! This is a great spot—thick with yin energy and perfect for raising malicious spirits. If we set up here, our business will be booming in no time! Are you sure there are no other mystics around?"

"Senior Brother," the first man replied, unconcerned, "so what if there are other mystics? We're officially recognized by the Celestial Masters' Hall, and we're doing their work. Which Xuanshi* would dare stick their nose where it doesn't belong?"

"True," the middle-aged man called Senior Brother nodded. "We've worked so hard for years to finally get into the Celestial Masters' Hall. Our path as Xuanshi* will be smooth sailing from now on. Alright, let's go scout for a shop before midnight."

(*"玄师" (Xuánshī): refers to a mystic, a practitioner of metaphysical or supernatural arts, such as exorcism, geomancy (feng shui), or spiritual cultivation. It can be translated as "mystic", "occult master", "spiritual practitioner", or even "exorcist".)

The two men laughed as they left.

Kun Yuan hurried to the convenience store, bought the rest of the food, and casually mentioned the conversation to Yu Yuan when she got back.

Yu Yuan lifted her head from the mountain of fried food.

"Celestial Masters' Hall?"

The Celestial Master Hall, as the name suggested, was an organization spontaneously formed by Celestial Masters.

Yu Yuan had heard of similar organizations in her past life as well, and had been invited to various metaphysical institutions multiple times. However, most of these sects didn't like restrictions, and no one had ever visited them.

She couldn't quite figure out whether the Celestial Master Hall would be beneficial or harmful to her at the moment, so she decided to move past this for now.

Under the tense gazes of a few people, she quickly finished off the items she bought. Once she'd eaten most of it, Xiao Nan, who had been sent to buy clay, came back with a box of clay.

"Master, do you think this clay is good?"

Late at night, it was hard to find good clay. Xiao Nan made several calls, reaching out to a few connections before he got a senior craftsman nearby to deliver some clay he usually used.

The Ou Jia Zai had saved him, so of course, he wanted to use the best for it.

"No problem."

Yu Yuan washed her hands, drew a talisman, and after burning it to mix with water, she blended it into the clay. She skillfully molded a vivid little wooden horse, then drew a talisman on a small stone statue.

Xiao Bei, standing aside with wide eyes, stared at the scene. He saw the master drawing something in midair, then pointing at the small clay statue in her hand. The statue glowed with golden-red symbols for just a moment, then the light quickly disappeared.

He was shocked, his eyes wide, both surprised and curious, as he joined the little group to watch closely.

After making sure the little wooden horse wouldn't crack easily, Yu Yuan yawned, and fatigue began to show in her eyes.

"This should be fine. Just avoid direct sunlight. Offer incense three times a day, never skip it."

She gently placed the eager little sister into the clay statue and put it into a small box, telling Xiao Nan to open it only when they got home.

Once everything was taken care of, Kun Yuan noticed the master kept yawning, and her eyes looked tired, so she politely gathered the younger brothers and prepared to leave.

When it came time to pay, she ran into a problem. All of Yu Yuan's cards were linked to her company, and once the money was transferred into her account, it would end up in the company's pockets. Although it wouldn't be difficult for Yu Yuan to retrieve the money, it was just simpler to avoid extra trouble.

Just in time, little Yu Liang offered his own small phone, "Mom, use mine!"

The original character had opened an account under little Yu Liang's name, the only one not linked to the company.

"Scan from my son's phone," Yu Yuan said, opening the payment code on his little phone.

The six peace talismans cost 96,000, with an additional 99,000 for the disturbance fee, and the clay statue for the Ou Jia Zai was 200,000, totaling 395,000.

Kun Yuan transferred the money and saw the master casually pass the phone to the little child who was only about four or five years old. The little one carefully counted the zeros several times before finally opening his mouth wide.

Meat cost 23 yuan per kilogram, potatoes were 3 yuan per kilogram, and a bowl of noodles from the downstairs shop was 13 yuan...

395,000 was equivalent to 20,000 kilograms of meat, 140,000 kilograms of potatoes, and 30,000 bowls of noodles...

How much was 20,000 kilograms of meat?

Yu Liang started counting on his fingers, but quickly became stunned by his own imagination.

Wow! So much money!

He could buy his mom so many tasty things, and even make her lots and lots of delicious dumplings!

As Kun Yuan and the others said their goodbyes and left, Kun Yuan paused for a moment. Just as she was about to turn around, she heard Yu Yuan's relaxed voice drift from behind her:

"Your brother saved your life, and has accumulated merits. He has been reborn into a good family, and is no longer your brother by blood. If you really want to repay him, why not do more good deeds? One day, that will help him in return."

"One day, it will help your brother..."

The shadow that had weighed on Kun Yuan's heart for over ten years quietly lifted. She turned around and bowed, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance."

Xiao Nan, carrying a pile of cotton clothes and carefully cradling the stone statue in his arms, along with the others holding the protective talismans, happily left.

Yu Liang, seeing so much money for the first time, was a bit dizzy as he went to the kitchen to make dumplings, happily thinking about what delicious food he could prepare for his mom tomorrow.

Now that his family had money, there were so many more ingredients to choose from! Maybe he'd make braised beef brisket for his mom tomorrow?

Yu Yuan, heard the noise from the kitchen, closed her eyes for a brief rest, then used the remaining clay to mold a little fox about the size of her palm for Yu Liang.
