"Yantian has successfully cultivated a new Purple Jade Bamboo, and the family is preparing to plant new spiritual rice and herbs.
"The spiritual crops and herbs in the rear mountain fields are thriving more than ever.
"Additionally, Wen Yu and Wen Run, those two young girls, have been learning the art of spiritual planting from Yantian. Now, they’re capable of handling tasks on their own," Yun Yunrui reported, his tone filled with pride as he recounted the state of the Yun family’s spiritual fields.
"Haha! Yunlin, your two precious granddaughters are truly promising.
"In the future, those two sisters might become the finest spiritual cultivators of the Yun family. When the time comes, they can take over Yantian’s responsibilities and oversee the family’s spiritual fields," Yun Yunyang said with a hearty laugh.
"Brother Yunyang, don’t praise those girls too much, or they’ll grow arrogant," Yun Yunlin replied with a helpless chuckle, though it was clear he was genuinely pleased.
"Praise is well-deserved. In fact, the family should reward the sisters for their hard work," Yun Yunyang said with a smile before turning to Yun Yunrui.
"Yunrui, as per the family’s reward system, allocate cultivation resources to Wen Yu and Wen Run. Help them stabilize and advance their cultivation."
"Understood," Yun Yunrui replied respectfully.
"In addition, Shuang’er has learned the art of alchemy and can now begin refining Embryo Breath Pills.
"Yantian has been notified to cultivate more spiritual herbs suitable for refining the pills this year," Yun Yunrui continued.

"Yes, and to ensure she can focus on advancing her cultivation before the Dan Ding Sect ruins reopen this summer, she’s temporarily set aside her work in artifact forging and alchemy," Yun Yunrui explained.
"She needs to dedicate herself to cultivation without being distracted by forging or alchemy.
"Once she returns from exploring the ruins, the family can revisit plans for crafting and alchemy," Yun Yunyang said thoughtfully.
"I have some good news to share," Yun Yunrui added with a smile.
"Oh?"
"It seems that Wen Xuan has shown significant talent in both artifact forging and alchemy.
"Though he’s still in the early stages and needs more training, he could eventually succeed Shuang’er as the family’s second specialist in these fields," Yun Yunrui announced.
"That mischievous boy! The elders have told me many times about Wen Xuan not paying attention during lessons. I’ve spanked him more than once," Yun Yunyang said with a mix of frustration and pride.
"Turns out, he’s been secretly studying artifact forging and alchemy, which explains why he’s been neglecting his studies.
"Still, if it’s for the family’s benefit, I can’t stay angry at him," he said, shaking his head with a faint smile.
"Lastly, regarding the market managed by Ling’er and Zhan’er:
"Three months after its grand opening, thanks to the promotion by Li Xianshi and the other three immortals, many rogue cultivators from across Yue Kingdom have settled in our market.
"Operations have gradually stabilized.
"The family has reserved the best two storefronts for Ling’er and Zhan’er to manage. They’ve been selling spiritual herbs, artifacts, and the ’White Bone Feather’ spiritual ore mined by Yunlin’s team. These items have been well-received by rogue cultivators and have brought significant resources to the family," Yun Yunrui reported.
"According to a report from Ling’er, the most popular item in the market is our Purple Jade Spirit Wine.
"Many rogue cultivators have praised it as being far superior to the Wang family’s Red Mulberry Spirit Wine."
"Has the Wang family also set up shop in our market?" Yun Yunyang asked, his expression calm despite the encouraging news.
He knew that while the market’s success was promising, it also increased the risk of envy and retaliation from others—particularly the Yulin Wang family, whose interests were directly threatened by the Yun family’s growing influence.
"Yes. As per the agreement between you and Wang Chongtian, the Wang family rented a storefront in our market.
"Their range of spiritual goods is more diverse than ours and has attracted many rogue cultivators.
"The only product where our family outshines theirs is the Purple Jade Spirit Wine.
"Unfortunately, the limited supply of Purple Jade Bamboo Rice means Yunshan can only produce a small quantity of the wine, which isn’t enough to meet the demand from rogue cultivators," Yun Yunrui explained.
"There’s no need to worry. Everything will improve with time.
"As long as our family proceeds cautiously and steadily, we’ll eventually surpass the Wang family," Yun Yunyang said with quiet determination.
"Brother Yunyang, your words are indeed wise," Yun Yunrui agreed.
The bustling streets were crowded with rogue cultivators from all over Yue Kingdom, coming and going.
Yun Yanling and her husband, Qin Zhan, watched the Wang family’s shop next door, which was teeming with customers. The steady flow of rogue cultivators there contrasted sharply with their own shop, which was almost empty.
"Our family’s wares aren’t much better than those in the Wang family’s shop," Yun Yanling said with a sigh.
"The only edge we have is the Purple Jade Spirit Wine that Fourth Uncle brews.
"Unfortunately, we can’t produce enough of it to meet the demand of rogue cultivators," she added, her tone heavy with frustration.
Though the market itself was thriving, the limited variety of goods the Yun family could offer left her feeling helpless.
"Don’t let it bother you too much," Qin Zhan said gently, pulling her into his arms.
"Our Yun family is still building from scratch. Everything is just beginning, and there’s no need to be discouraged.
"The Wang family has been around for years and accumulated deep resources, which is why their business is thriving.
"But when our family reaches their level of development, I believe our shop will rival—if not surpass—theirs," he reassured her.
"In a few days, Shuang’er and Yantian will head to the Dan Ding Sect ruins.
"I hope they’ll uncover valuable opportunities there, ones that can help us expand our inventory and attract more rogue cultivators," Yun Yanling said, her voice tinged with hope.
"Don’t worry—they’ll complete the family’s mission," Qin Zhan said with confidence.
Yun Yanshui lounged by the doorway, holding the sleeping Gold-Eye Beast in his arms. He glanced at Yun Yanshuang, who sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating.
He could sense her aura growing stronger, her dantian’s spiritual energy becoming increasingly concentrated.
"Already at the peak of the seventh Embryo Breath stage, huh?"
Through their spiritual bond, Yun Yanshui confirmed that his sister’s cultivation had fully stabilized at the peak of the seventh Embryo Breath stage and was nearing the breakthrough to the eighth stage.
"Shuang’er, Yantian, and the others have all made remarkable progress lately.
"Even Wen Xuan, Wen Yu, and Wen Run have broken through their stages.
"And then there’s this lazy glutton," he muttered, glancing at the Gold-Eye Beast snoozing in his arms.
"As for me, I’m stuck at the peak of the ninth Embryo Breath stage, unable to break through to the Qi Refinement stage.
"Is it because I haven’t accumulated enough spiritual energy? Or am I missing another key factor?
"Do I really have to figure out how to absorb the ’Solar Essence Wheel’ and ’Lunar Ascent,’ those two streams of yin and yang energy, to make the breakthrough?"
Yun Yanshui stroked the sleeping beast thoughtfully, his mind wrestling with the dilemma.
"Brother, what’s on your mind?"
Unnoticed, Yun Yanshuang had finished her cultivation session and now stood before him, bending over with a mischievous grin.
"Whoa! You scared me!"
"Hmph! Didn’t you use to scare me like this all the time? Now we’re even!" she said, playfully huffing before plopping down beside him at the doorway.

"I was just wondering how to absorb the Solar Essence Wheel and Lunar Ascent energies," Yun Yanshui admitted.
"When I return from exploring the Danding Sect ruins, I’ll ask my master about it," Yun Yanshuang offered.
"Sounds like a plan," Yun Yanshui replied with a nod.
"Speaking of the ruins, Father spoke to me privately yesterday," Yun Yanshuang said, lowering her voice.
"What did Father say?"
"He wants me to accompany you and Yantian, though not openly.
"You’ll explore the ruins in the open, while I remain in the shadows. This way, I can watch out for you two in case other cultivation families or rogue cultivators target you," she explained.
"That’s actually a good idea," Yun Yanshuang agreed, nodding thoughtfully.
"Prepare well. According to the family’s sources, the ruins will reopen in just a few days.
"When the time comes, you and Yantian will need to set out on your journey," Yun Yanshui reminded her.
