Ye Lingyue rushed back to the northern estate to tell her mother the good news.

Upon her arrival at the northern gate, she noticed Aunt Liu and a servant moving things outside. Her mother, Ye Fengyu and Big Uncle, Ye Fengyun were standing outside the estate, talking.

 “Third Sister, Father said that from today onwards, you are to move to the Qiaochu Wing in the eastern estate, where there are still several maids and servants who are deft.” Ye Fengyun was the eldest son of the Ye family, and he had a square face. His appearance was the most similar to the head of the Ye family, Ye Gu.

 Move? Ye Lingyue looked at her mother and saw that she had no objection to it. The environment was good at the eastern estate and would be appropriate for her mother’s healing.

 “Lingyue, why didn’t you tell me you’re back? You already broke through the fifth level of body tempering?” Ye Fengyu also learned from her elder brother about how her daughter had broken through to the fifth level.

 “I thought you already knew about it. I had a breakthrough last night after waking up from sleep,” Ye Lingyue explained vaguely.

 She had a breakthrough after sleeping.

 Ye Fengyun coughed after hearing this. His eldest son, Ye Sheng, took half a year to break through to the fifth level of body tempering. It was annoying that this niece of his had a breakthrough after waking up from sleep.

 Ye Fengyu was caught between laughter and tears, but she also knew that it probably was the Monkey Wine’s effect on her. She didn’t say anything, though, for it was not convenient for her to talk about such things in front of her brother.

 Ye Lingyue looked at her mother again and felt happy when she found that her mother’s complexion was ruddy. She looked more energetic than usual after drinking the purified monkey wine.

 “Lingyue, I heard that you went to the martial arts tower today. Which basic martial arts skill did you choose?” Ye Fengyun stepped forward with a smile. He had two sons and had always wanted a daughter. Seeing Ye Lingyue’s clever and beautiful appearance, he liked it very much.

 “Twisting Flower and Crushing Jade.” As soon as Ye Lingyue’s voice fell, the two elders were surprised. Ye Fengyu opened her mouth, wanting to say something while Ye Fengyun, on the other hand, laughed.

When Ye Fengyu went into the martial arts tower for the first time, the first basic martial arts skill she picked was also Twisting Flower and Crushing Jade. After she failed to learn it, she changed it to Qingyun Footwork.

 “She’s still a child so she should suffer some setbacks. She can still change to another skill in the future.” After her daughter had become clever, she was cautious and smart with how she approached things. She would never act rashly. Since she wanted to learn, Ye Fengyu just let her be.

 After they had moved into the eastern estate, Ye Fengyun called out to Ye Lingyue.

 “Lingyue, you are now an elite disciple of the Ye family. According to the family rule, when boys reach the age of thirteen, they will have to go to the mine to train and girls have to go to the quarry to study the business. Tomorrow you will have a look at the quarry with your cousin, Ye Sheng.” After Ye Fengyun gave the instructions, he left with his servant.

 Aunt Liu was still busy with the new servants so Ye Lingyue took the chance to go into Hongmeng Sanctuary.

 As soon as she returned to Hongmeng Sanctuary, Squeaky spread its short legs and ran around.

 After getting Immortal Hongmeng’s letter, Ye Lingyue became more and more adept at controlling the whole of Hongmeng Sanctuary. She knew that if she wanted Hongmeng Sanctuary to raise its level and make the elementary force inside more abundant, she had to plant more spirit plants and also improve her strength.

“Squeaky.” Squeaky was sprawled under a green-wood fruit tree that Ye Lingyue planted.

 Half a month had passed and the green-wood fruit tree, which used to be one meter high, had grown to three or four meters high.

 Because there was no one picking them in Hongmeng Sanctuary, the green-wood fruits gave off an attractive fragrance and the tree branches were bending with their weight…

 Squeaky was salivating at the green-wood fruit. It wanted to climb up and eat it, but the tree trunk was too smooth. Squeaky fell from the tree after clawing at it and it looked really funny.

Ye Lingyue used her mind and a green-wood fruit fell from the tree and landed beside Squeaky. It hurriedly used all its limbs to tightly hold the fruit that was half the size of its body.

 “There’s so much green-wood fruit. It seems like this time, I will make a lot of money.” Ye Lingyue looked at the green-wood fruit on the tree, her eyes curving into crescents. She seemed to be seeing countless silver taels waving at her.

 In the medicinal shop of Autumn Maple town, the manager’s eyebrows were furrowed tightly.

 The green-wood fruit had been out of stock for a month.

 There were brave herb harvesters who entered the mountain, but according to them, more than a dozen green-wood fruit trees around the ridge were all gone.

 They disappeared, and not a kernel was left.

 “Bandits must have cut those trees down. What are we going to do about the alcohol ointment now that there are no more green-wood fruits?” The manager sighed. If there was no other way, he could only spend a lot of money to buy some green-wood fruits from a county city.

But the green-wood fruits needed to be fresh when used to make alcohol ointment. If the green-wood fruits were more than three days old, the effect of the ointment won’t be as good.

 “Manager.” A familiar voice pulled him back from his thoughts.

 “Miss, you’re here. Are you here to sell Gathering Elemental herbs again?” The manager forced out a smile and went forward.

 “No, I’m here to sell green-wood fruits,” Ye Lingyue said and took out a green-wood fruit.

 That fruit was glossy and green, and it was three to four times bigger than an ordinary green-wood fruit. Not only that, but it was also very fresh.

 “Green-wood fruit? Where did you get such a fresh green-wood fruit?” The manager swallowed and wanted to grab the fruit over.

 “An old friend of mine used special methods to bring it in from outside. He can supply about 25 kilograms a day, but as for the price…” Ye Lingyue left the manager hanging.

 “The price is negotiable. It’s fine even if the price is 50 percent more expensive with such quality. I am willing to pay 1 and a half silver taels for one green-wood fruit, and 250 silver taels for 25 kilograms,” the manager agreed in a hurry.

 “No, Manager. I’ll sell it to you at the normal price, and will only offer my supplies to you. But I have one condition. You must help me find where the fifth-grade pills are.” Ye Lingyue shook her head. She had Hongmeng Sanctuary and the cauldron breath in her hands, it was just a matter of time for her to earn money.

 She just wanted to help her mother recover quickly.

 “This… Okay, I promise you.” However, fifth-grade pills are indeed rare. You cannot even find it in a county city. How about this, you give me a month. If I have any news, I will inform you immediately.” Although the manager of the medicinal shop did not know Ye Lingyue’s identity, she had solved his urgent problem.

 Besides, the herbs the girl brought every single time were top notch. The manager thought that he had so much use for her in the future and thus was willing to be on good terms with such people.

 After the two reached an agreement, Ye Lingyue said nothing and delivered a batch of green-wood fruits.
