"This place is simply a natural treasure trove!" a researcher exclaimed excitedly, clutching a precious herb sample tightly in his hand.

Another researcher exclaimed, "The biodiversity here is incredible!"

Jiang Wanwan smiled as she looked at them. She knew that the arrival of these researchers would bring more development opportunities and hope to Yangjia Village.

At the same time, it also brings new development and opportunities to Blue Star.

The square in Yangjia Village was bustling with activity.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, Huang, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, stood in the crowd, her eyes filled with jealousy and anger. Seeing the scene before her, she felt resentful and dissatisfied.

Ever since learning about the cultivation of immortality, Huang has been filled with anticipation, hoping to embark on this path and become an immortal.

So she secretly asked someone to test her, but the result disappointed her—she had no spiritual roots and could not cultivate immortality.

Later, she heard that there was a path of physical cultivation, so she couldn't wait to go to Jiang Wanwan and ask for the medicine packet.

However, when she tried it herself, she found the pain to be unbearable, as if her body was being torn apart, and she had no choice but to give up.

At this point, she began to suspect that Jiang Wanwan might be intentionally concealing other cultivation methods, after all, Jiang Dahe and his wife were able to achieve success in cultivation even without spiritual roots.

As a result, Huang's resentment grew even stronger.

What angered her even more was that she had no prior knowledge of the news that she could set up a stall today, and she felt that this must have been deliberately done by Jiang Dahe's family to prevent her from getting any benefits.

The more Huang thought about it, the angrier she became, and the resentment in her heart grew deeper.

Actually, it was all a misunderstanding. When the village chief announced through the village loudspeaker that everyone could set up stalls, Huang was fast asleep at home and missed this important information.

Huang walked home muttering curses all the way. When she reached her doorstep, she suddenly heard someone speaking in a low voice.

"Want to get rich?" A man wearing a mask and a baseball cap quietly approached her, his voice deep and seductive.

Huang looked at him suspiciously, thinking that this person might have come to buy something from her.

So she said, "What do you want to buy? I can tell you, everything sold in the square, my family has."

However, the man didn't answer her question. Instead, he continued, "Don't you want to crush Jiang Dahe's family under your feet and ensure they can never rise again?"

This immediately piqued Huang's interest. Her eyes widened, and she asked curiously, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The man smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice, saying, "Who I am isn't important. What's important is that if you can put this little packet into Jiang Dahe's well, all this money is yours!"

As he spoke, he opened the leather bag he was carrying, revealing neatly stacked wads of banknotes inside, estimated to be two or three hundred thousand yuan.

Mrs. Huang was so excited she could barely control her emotions, but she was also filled with doubt. Trembling, she took the paper packet from the man's hand and asked nervously, "This isn't poison, is it?"

The man chuckled softly, reassuring her, "Don't worry, ma'am, I wouldn't dare do something as serious as poisoning someone. At most, I'll just give them diarrhea so I can vent my anger!"

Upon hearing this, Ms. Huang finally felt relieved and began to negotiate with the man about the deposit and where she would receive the money after the deal was done.

Neither of them noticed a white figure flash past the corner.

Jiang Xiaoxue jogged all the way and finally arrived at Jiang Wanwan's door.

She leaned against the gate, panting heavily, her face pale, and her stomach aching slightly. She paused at the gate for a moment before pushing open the courtyard gate and going inside.

"Xiaoxue?"

Tian Cuicui had just received a message from her daughter asking her to go to Dongshan to help settle the research team when she ran into Jiang Xiaoxue.

"Second Aunt, something's happened!" Jiang Xiaoxue said, clutching her stomach, as she struggled to sit down in front of a chair.

Looking at Jiang Xiaoxue's pale face, Tian Cuicui asked with concern, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong? Is your stomach upset? Should we go to the village clinic?"

Jiang Xiaoxue shook her head, enduring the pain, and said, "No need, Second Aunt, I'm fine, I'll be alright in a bit!"

Tian Cuicui was still worried, so she quickly poured her a cup of spiritual tea.

"Here, have some spiritual tea to warm yourself up, it will make you feel better."

Jiang Xiaoxue gratefully accepted the cup, looked up at Tian Cuicui with tears glistening in her eyes, and said softly, "Thank you, Second Aunt."

Jiang Xiaoxue slowly took a sip of the spiritual tea and immediately felt a warm current flow down her throat and spread throughout her body.

She took a deep breath, relaxed her body, and sat quietly in the chair, enjoying the tranquility and comfort of the moment.

After a while, Jiang Xiaoxue felt her stomach pain had eased considerably. She put down her cup, gently wiped her mouth, and then said to Tian Cuicui:

"Second Aunt, actually, the reason I came to see you today is because I overheard my mother talking to someone at the door about secretly poisoning your house..."

Jiang Xiaoxue felt uneasy after she finished speaking, after all, it was her own mother who was plotting against her second aunt's family.

"Good child, your second aunt knows, don't worry!" Tian Cuicui gently patted Jiang Xiaoxue's head.

After learning the news, Jiang Wanwan notified Lin Weiguo to follow the man who had been in contact with Huang, and she herself returned home from Dongshan.

Soon, Lin Weiguo sent a message.

"Mom, leave this to me. You take Xiaoxue home first."

After saying that, Jiang Wanwan left Jiang Xiaoxue a bottle of Nourishing Essence Pills and disappeared in a flash.

Qingshi Town is bustling with people and vehicles.

Inside the small house, Wang Chen sat on a dilapidated chair, toying with a sharp dagger in his hand, his eyes cold and sharp.

He listened quietly as the person standing in front of him reported the situation.

This was the same man who had been wearing a baseball cap earlier; now he had removed his hat and mask, revealing his weathered face.

He respectfully recounted to Wang Chen everything he had seen and heard in Yangjia Village.

"What? Immortal cultivators?" Upon hearing this news, Wang Chen's face showed a hint of surprise and excitement.

"So that's it. That explains why Yan Ziyan suddenly became so powerful," Wang Chen muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with curiosity and greed.

He was filled with longing and desire for the supernatural power of cultivating immortality.

"Since Yan Ziyan is a cultivator, he must be hiding a great secret and wealth," Wang Chen thought to himself.

"We must find Yan Ziyan and find out what kind of cultivation method he has mastered." Wang Chen's voice was filled with determination and resolve.

He believed that as long as he could obtain the secrets of cultivating immortality, he could surpass ordinary people and become a powerful being.

"I've planted the explosives in the village! We can move in once that woman succeeds!"

“That’s right. Once we catch that Jiang Wanwan you mentioned, Yangjia Village will have no reason to exist!” A sinister smile crept onto Wang Chen’s lips as he set his sights on Jiang Wanwan.
