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

You have gained another 50 achievement points.

Jiang Yun was very satisfied.

After all, only half a month has passed since the last time I received the entry and reward.

I'm now 120 achievement points away from unlocking the next entry and reward.

120 achievement points are relatively easy to obtain.

It would be better to have another child...

In the days to come, Jiang Yun wanted Ling'er to get pregnant with her fourth child!

Thinking this, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the two men from the landlord's household who were following him.

These two have made a major discovery today!

When I get back, I'll tell Steward Zhao that he'll be rewarded handsomely.

Little did they know, Jiang Yun had deliberately revealed all of this to them.

Otherwise, once Jiang Yun enters the city, he will leave them behind.

"It's getting late, let's take the silver and go back."

Jiang Yun looked up at the sun.

Then he quickly arrived at Li Xiu'e's teahouse.

Li Xiu'e stood at the entrance of the teahouse, gazing longingly into the distance.

"Young master..."

Li Xiu'e was relieved to see Jiang Yun return unharmed.

She worried all day, fearing that the people at Fulin Teahouse might harm Jiang Yun.

How were your profits this month?

Jiang Yun entered the teahouse and only discussed business.

"Alas, only 15 taels," Old Man Li sighed. "If it weren't for Manager Qian of Fulin Teahouse sending people to cause trouble, it could have been 20 taels."

Old Man Li runs a small teahouse.

The guests who usually come are those who are content with modest wealth; it is rare for rich young masters or wealthy gentry to come to drink tea and listen to storytelling.

If wealthy young masters or gentry were listening to storytelling in the teahouse, even the troublemakers sent by Manager Qian wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

"I've taken care of things with Manager Qian; no one will cause trouble anymore."

Jiang Yun thought to himself, "It seems that Manager Qian has lost five taels more than he should have."

However, he recovered all of these losses, and they all belonged to him.

"Really?" Old Man Li's face lit up with joy.

Jiang Yun nodded, and then Li Xiu'e asked, "Could it be that you, young master, have also done business with Fulin Teahouse?"

"Exactly."

Jiang Yun briefly explained his business dealings with Manager Qian.

They also informed Manager Qian that Fulin Teahouse would not affect Old Man Li's business.

Since one side talks about Journey to the West and the other about Investiture of the Gods, there is no conflict at all.

"Investiture of the Gods?" Li Xiu'e became interested. "I'll definitely go to Fulin Teahouse to listen to it another day."

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

After finishing his business, Jiang Yun immediately took his leave.

"Young master, here is your silver." Seeing that Jiang Yun was about to leave, Li Xiu'e quickly took out 4 taels and 5 mace of silver and handed it to him.

"No need to send it."

Jiang Yun accepted the money and left the teahouse.

"This young master Jiang is no ordinary person."

Old Li watched Jiang Yun's retreating figure and sighed.

"Of course he's extraordinary!" Li Xiu'e exclaimed, lowering her voice to ask, "Could he be an immortal?"

"Immortals don't eat or drink, so why would they need money?" Old Man Li shook his head. "I guess he must be a martial arts master. He wasn't afraid of facing so many strong men just now, so he must have practiced martial arts."

"Perhaps..."

Li Xiue sighed softly to herself.

Every time Jiang Yun came, he would take the silver and then leave in a hurry.

Can't he see such a beautiful girl?

……

Jiang Yun left the teahouse.

He took out the silver and counted it.

It weighs fourteen and a half taels in total.

This trip to the city yielded fairly good results.

As usual, I went to the market to buy some candied hawthorns and other snacks before heading home.

It was already dark when we returned to Qingshan Village.

He saw the two men sent by the landlord to monitor him and stopped following them.

Perhaps they have made a significant discovery today and will go back to report to their master.

Just as Jiang Yun had predicted.

The two men went straight back to the landlord's house.

Tell the steward Zhao Xiao everything that he saw and heard today.

"He writes books? And has business dealings with teahouses?"

"No wonder there's money to return land and rent."

Zhao Xiao was greatly surprised when he learned of this.

Who would have thought that Jiang Yun earned his money by writing books?

"Go down, I'll go and report to the master."

Zhao Xiao went to see Fang Lihong that very night.

At this moment, Fang Lihong is reading a book in his study with the lamp lit.

"This servant greets Your Excellency." Zhao Xiao knocked on the door and entered the study, respectfully saying, "I would like to inform Your Excellency that the servants sent to track Jiang Yun have made a discovery."

Tell me about it.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lihong put down the book in his hand and looked up at Zhao Xiao.

"Reporting to Master, Jiang Yun, he..."

Zhao Xiao recounted all of today's discoveries to Fang Lihong.

"Writing a book? Interesting." Fang Lihong pondered, "Prepare the carriage, and we'll go to the teahouse in town tomorrow to listen to what kind of book he's writing."

Fang Lihong became very interested when he learned that Jiang Yun could write calligraphy and had business dealings with teahouses.

What kind of books should one write to attract customers to teahouses?

It must be a book that the guests like.

This made Fang Lihong very curious.

I plan to go to the city early tomorrow morning to listen to Jiang Yun's storytelling at a teahouse.

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhao Xiao accepted the order, bowed, and was about to leave.

Fang Lihong said, "There's no need to send anyone to follow Jiang Yun anymore."

Fang Lihong thought Jiang Yun was hiding some big secret.

In the end, all I did was write books and do some business with teahouses.

"Yes, sir."

Zhao Xiao withdrew, left the study, and closed the door behind him.

In the study.

Fang Lihong sat at the table, looking at the flickering candlelight, lost in thought.

Early the next morning.

He then took a group of guards and servants and rode in a carriage to the city.

Jiang Yun was cultivating on the mountain at this time.

When it was fully light.

He had just chopped a bundle of firewood and gone down the mountain to teach his children to read and write.

The days were peaceful and warm.

For several days in a row.

That night, Jiang Yun held Ling'er in his arms.

"Ling'er, let's have another child," Jiang Yun said. "It's not like we can't afford to raise one now."

"Yes, my husband will decide." Ling'er nodded obediently.

Jiang Yun turned the tables.

Listen to a soft moan from the child.

"Hmm, my husband... the children are still asleep."

Jiang Yun immediately deflated and released Ling'er.

There are only two bedrooms in the house.

At this moment, Jiang Deyue and Jiang Defan are sleeping in the same room as him.

As for eight-year-old Jiang Dexian, she slept in another room.

It's indeed inconvenient to have a child with Ling'er.

As Jiang Yun lay in bed, a thought flashed through her mind.

—Should we buy a house in the city?

He quickly dismissed the idea.

Buying a house in the city may be a one-time solution, but it's inconvenient for cultivation.

In the village, one can enter Qingshanling for cultivation anytime, anywhere.

"Ling'er, how much silver do we have left?" Jiang Yun asked. "I plan to rebuild the house, otherwise the children won't have anywhere to sleep when they grow up."

"There are still 38 taels left. I don't know if this is enough."

Ling'er also agreed with the proposal to rebuild the house.

I'm just worried that I won't have enough money.

Because building a thatched-roof mud house for a family of five would cost around 16 taels of silver.

If blue bricks and wood are used, and the roof is tiled, it might cost 40 taels of silver to build.

"It's alright, the teahouse brings in money every month, let's build a bigger house."

Jiang Yun already had a plan in mind.

The house to be built should have five main rooms and three side rooms, constructed with blue bricks and wooden tiles.

I won't have to farm or work in the fields for the next six months.

He now focuses solely on cultivation.

The most important thing is to build a house, and then have children!
