Peace returned to the castle as Ling Chen stared at the sparkling jade stone in the corner of the hall. A smile as bright as the morning sun slowly formed on the corner of her mouth as she felt a sweetness in her heart as she muttered to herself, "I wonder when Yun'er will be like this jade, blooming with light."

Hu Bo slightly raised his head, as if he could see through the heavens, and said, "I'm afraid it will be the day we meet Fan Mu."

The two laughed heartily. Their hearty voices cut across the sky and reverberated in the hall for a long time.

"Father, Father, what happened just now? The White Tiger Pavilion's Fang Jing lost contact with the main hall in a short while. Eh, Uncle Murong arrived, so why is it that he's gone now?" A burst of anxious shouts broke the peace in the main hall. Lingyun brought a group of people and hurriedly ran down from the study room.

"Don't be rough in your hair when you have nothing to do. When you become a big matter, make more snacks. Your Uncle Murong still has some things to do, so after Sir Liu left, he left. Come back later, don't worry."

"Oh, so it's like that … Hahaha … Oh, that's right, Chang's sad look really made me laugh." Lingyun was relieved and laughed out loud as he remembered the expression on Liu's face.

"Alright, alright. You can rest for a bit. Everyone is tired today, so you should rest early after eating. I've already got the servants prepared for the room. Uncle Hu, take them to the dining hall. I'm going to take care of some stuff." Ling Chen yawned, as she was also very tired. She had no choice but to take advantage of the time her wife was out with Ling Qiao and Ling Xiao to settle the accounts. Otherwise, when they returned, they would be in trouble again.

"Um … Uncle Ling." Fan Mu seemed hesitant, as if he had something to ask of him.

"Tell me," Dawn replied quite straightforwardly. Hu Bo said that he was Lingyun's Light Regeneration Stone, so she didn't doubt him at all.

"I was wondering, after we leave, could we let Aunt Redbud stay here and let her take care of us, because I'm afraid that if Liu Gongzi comes looking for us again, Aunt Redbud will be hard to deal with by herself," Fan Mu said in a low voice. Although it could be seen that Ling Chen was a man with a strong sense of justice, but he could not be sure that she could not accept this kind of request. After all, the Ling family was a merchant, and there were many confidential matters, so it was hard to imagine that Patriarch Ling would accept an outsider.

"Oh, that's fine, Uncle Hu, you can do it now. If there's nothing else, I'll go handle the accounts first. There's been a lot of things happening this past half year." Ling Chen complained about the accounts as she praised Fan Mu's filial piety. She smiled and patted Lingyun's head, thinking that this brat had made a good friend.

After dinner, the few of them entered the room under Uncle Hu's arrangements. They did not have time to lament over the extravagance of the food as they fell asleep amidst the bright moonlight.

The faint bluish-purple screen of the screen on the eve of dawn caressed Fan Mu's face. He opened his eyes and saw bits of light shining into the dreamy luxury of the room, as if it could bring a person into a fairyland. As he lay on the goose feather cushions, Fan Mu stretched.

After the morning bell rang, the group of people complied with Lingyun's request, packed their things, and gathered in the garden.

"Aiya, Xiao Yun, why can't you just let daddy rest? Ah, so early, what's the matter?" Ling Chen looked tired, she had obviously organized the accounts for the whole night, but before she could rest, she was pulled up again early in the morning.

"Father, are you saying that the early bird has a worm to eat?" Lingyun retorted righteously. His serious expression surprised everyone.

"You forget, I'm talking about the early bugs being eaten by the birds." Ling Chen wanted to cry, but had no tears. She only wanted to go back to rest right now.

Hahaha, you two father and son are really interesting, "Sue laughed, forgetting the formalities. Seeing that Fan Mu wanted to reprimand her, Ling Chen quickly said," Hey, you're too kind. Uncle Ling thinks that this feeling of intimacy is just right.

"Father, I would like to borrow our family's blacksmith shop. I wonder if it is possible?" Lingyun raised his head and asked Ling Chen.

"Damn, it's just because of this that I'm using it casually. Why are you asking me," Ling Chen complained, thinking that something big had happened. "Oh right, what do you want to borrow the blacksmith's shop for?"

"We want to build some defensive equipment." Lingyun explained. Looking at Ling Chen's impatient gaze, he felt speechless.

"Oh? The Heaven Stage is a bit more precious, those spirit rank things can be used casually, where did all this come from? "Ling Chen shook his head, thinking about how these little families really liked to come and use things that were already prepared, and insisted on doing it on their own.

"Hey, Little Chen, what you're saying isn't right. How are you going to use a spirit rank item like this?" Uncle Hu was very happy to hear the father and son duo talk, so he helped Little Yun speak up.

"There are four ranks of treasures in this Yheng Continent, Sky, Spirit, Earth, and Black. The ones that surpass the Heaven Stage are called king level, and most of them are created by gold-level Symbol Masters, but to use a treasure requires a certain amount of affinity, so in short, one must reach a certain level. With the yellow level as the benchmark, the jade elementalists from before could at most use a dark level, and once they reached the purple level, as long as they had enough money, they would be able to obtain all kinds of heaven-level treasures.

"Uh, my brain isn't working well after a night of sleep. Yellow rank, it really is the dividing line for jade elementalists. Whether it's treasures or cultivation methods, after stepping into the yellow rank, everything will be different." Ling Chen sighed.

"For example, right now you are learning some basic skills, so you can practice whatever you want. When you reach the yellow rank, it will be up to you, and all kinds of cultivation techniques will be sealed in jade plates, and will be absorbed with the help of spirit beast souls. Similarly, there are four types of cultivation techniques, Sky, Spirit, Earth and Profound, and all the other types of cultivation techniques that you can obtain are based on money and luck."
