The Immortal Clan was established starting with the entry on the Dao of the Gou.

"The gold and silver ingots add up to a total of 100 taels of silver."

Jiang Yun did not hide it from Ling'er.

This money is to be used to redeem the land, retrieve the land deeds, and formally terminate the tenancy agreement.

Ling'er will find out sooner or later.

"100 taels of silver?" Ling'er could hardly believe her ears.

My husband only went to the city once.

How can I earn 100 taels of silver?

"It's a long story."

Jiang Yun explained in a low voice.

Tell Ling'er about the 100 taels of silver.

"Those two bandits actually tried to kill you?" Ling'er hugged Jiang Yun tightly, scoffing, "Hmph, they deserved to die!"

Jiang Yun was somewhat surprised by Ling'er's tone.

It seems that Ling'er understands many principles without him having to explain them.

"Ling'er, remember this," Jiang Yun said earnestly, "The martial world is cruel, and the path of cultivation is even crueler. Fighting and killing are commonplace. Do not be soft-hearted towards your enemies."

Ling'er has just begun her spiritual practice.

He lacks Jiang Yun's experience of living two lives.

They had never experienced the dangers of the cultivation world.

Jiang Yun gave him a heads-up first.

"Ling'er understands."

……

The next day.

After lunch.

Ling'er coaxed the children to take a nap.

After the children fell asleep.

She then asked Jiang Yun to show her what gold looked like.

"My lord, I've never seen gold before, let me see it!"

Jiang Yun understood Ling'er's feelings.

Like Ling'er, he was born a tenant farmer.

I've always been poor since I was a child.

The family only had coins and one tael of silver; even five-tael silver ingots were rare.

Not to mention gold.

"This is gold; one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver."

Jiang Yun was in the kitchen. He opened the cloth bag, took out the gold, and handed it to Ling'er.

"Gold, gold, it really is golden."

Ling'er took the gold ingot and examined it carefully in her hand.

Then, unable to resist, I opened my mouth and took a bite with my teeth.

"This gold is really hard."

She returned the gold to Jiang Yun and peered into the bag.

Inside the bag were many gold and silver ingots.

"We've struck it rich!"

Ling'er's eyes gleamed with golden light.

She had never seen so much silver before.

What's more, there's gold in there.

"It's only 100 taels. Once I exchange it all for silver, I'll go to the landlord to return the land. We won't farm for the landlord anymore."

Jiang Yun closed the cloth bag and moved the water vat away.

Hide the gold and silver ingots well.

"Is it appropriate to put it here?"

Ling'er was a little worried.

It's better if you don't have much silver in your savings.

Having too much silver in savings can actually make people uneasy.

They were afraid that thieves would take notice of them.

"It doesn't matter, no one knows anyway."

Jiang Yun shook her head.

He had already killed the two bandits.

Only Jiang Yun and Ling'er know how this money came about.

Moreover, as long as it's not publicized.

Who would have thought that an ordinary tenant farmer's family could have a hundred taels of silver in savings?

Ling'er nodded gently, and asked excitedly, "Husband, you just said you wanted to use this silver to return the land?"

"That's right." Jiang Yun sighed, "We've been farming for landlords for decades, we can't let our children farm for landlords too."

Now that I have business with the teahouse, the money I earned from giving up my land and tenancy can be earned through the teahouse, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"Yes, I'll do whatever my husband says!" Ling'er asked, "How many years are left on our family's land lease?"

"I forgot about that. My father handled the lease renewal back then." Jiang Yun walked out of the kitchen. "I'll go find the land deed to take a look."

Ling'er followed closely behind.

In the bedroom, Jiang Yun found a land deed.

This land lease agreement.

It was signed by Jiang Yun's father and the landlord many years ago.

The lease term is 20 years in total.

"There are still seven years left on the lease."

Jiang Yun finished reading the lease agreement.

It's like an eternity.

Unbeknownst to him, it's been since his father renewed the lease.

Thirteen years have passed.

"Seven more years?" Ling'er stood beside Jiang Yun. "The lease says that if we return the land and pay the rent early, we'll get one tael of silver per mu per year as compensation?"

Ling'er learned to read and write under Jiang Yun's guidance for many years.

She recognized all the words on the lease agreement.

"yes."

Jiang Yun nodded.

A lease agreement between a landlord and his tenants.

The lease terms are either ten or twenty years.

His father originally renewed the lease for twenty years.

"Our family has twelve mu of land. If we compensate one tael of silver per mu for seven years, wouldn't we have to pay the landlord 84 taels of silver?"

Ling'er calculated the compensation.

Very angry.

My husband finally managed to get one hundred taels of silver, and in the blink of an eye, he's going to give it to the landlord.

"Even the landlord's family has its immortals; we can't afford to offend them. Let's just pay compensation."

"Anyway, this hundred taels of silver isn't ours."

Jiang Yun carefully put away the rental agreement.

He seems to take it all in stride.

"My lord, is there really a celestial being in the landlord's family?"

Ling'er suddenly asked.

"I don't know." Jiang Yun shook his head gently. "I heard from the old people in the village that more than fifty years ago, the landlord's younger brother joined one of the three great immortal sects."

"The Three Great Immortal Sects?"

Ling'er's eyes widened.

She knew that many wealthy families were willing to go to great lengths to send their children and grandchildren into the three great immortal sects.

However, very few were accepted as disciples by the three major immortal sects.

Unexpectedly, the landlord's younger brother was able to become a disciple of one of the three great immortal sects.

More than fifty years have passed.

I wonder what level of cultivation they have reached, and what their status is in the three major immortal sects.

"Then our family really can't afford to offend them." Ling'er raised her fist. "We'll just secretly cultivate at home, and one day we'll be even more powerful than the three great immortal sects."

"That suits me perfectly."

Jiang Yun nodded with a smile.

He thought that Ling'er's thoughts coincided with his own.

During the Great Yu Dynasty.

The three major immortal sects, and the Great Yu royal family.

These are the four great cultivators within the Great Yu territory.

Of these four giants, Jiang Yun is currently at this stage.

We can't afford to mess with them no matter what.

"Oh, right." Jiang Yun suddenly pulled a hairpin out of her pocket. "I bought this for you, but I forgot about it yesterday."

"Thank you, my husband."

Ling'er happily accepted the hairpin.

She looked at Jiang Yun with deep affection.

I felt my whole body was filled with power.

Even if it costs me my life.

She also needs to take good care of the family for her husband.

……

It was May.

The early rice thrives under the sunshine.

Jiang Yun, on the other hand, was diligently cultivating.

This month.

Since the early rice has already been planted, things are relatively quiet.

Jiang Yun then had more time to cultivate.

He was the same as always.

He would sneak up the mountain every night to cultivate, and bring down a bundle of firewood in the morning.

Bringing firewood was something I could easily do; why not do it?

This tedious training continued until early June.

"There's still business in town, how could you forget about this?"

That morning.

After completing his cultivation, Jiang Yun returned home carrying a bundle of firewood.

There's no time like the present, so let's go into town today.

He went to the kitchen and took out a cloth bag filled with gold and silver ingots.

"Husband, shall we go exchange some silver?"

Ling'er went to the kitchen and asked in a low voice.

She knew there were gold ingots inside.

You can't use gold ingots to return the rent to the landlord.

"Um."

Jiang Yun took the gold ingot and was about to enter the city.

After taking only a couple of steps, they came back.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Ling'er looked at Jiang Yun with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Yun then put the gold ingot back in its original place.

"Now is not the time to exchange gold for silver," Jiang Yun said cautiously. "Last month, a wealthy family in the city was robbed. If I go to exchange gold for silver now, I will inevitably attract the attention of the government."

"My husband is wise."

Ling'er's eyes widened.

I was filled with lingering fear.

What if my husband is arrested by the authorities?

What should we do?
