After a long while, a figure flipped up the cliff.
It was midnight, so no one witnessed this eerie scene.
"Huang Ji Sanren, you are truly wealthy. You only have one-tenth of your wealth left, yet it far surpasses all my possessions! Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan died unjustly. They only found Huang Ji Sanren's deliberately misleading 'fake treasure room' and obtained less than 50,000 low-grade crystals. Including mid-grade crystals, they still had 200,000 low-grade crystals left, but they couldn't take them because their storage bags were too big. This time, it all benefited me!"
This person was none other than Zhang Guodong, who had returned safely after a perilous ordeal.
The shock on his face had not yet completely disappeared.
Even in Huangji Sanren's "fake treasure room," he casually placed 250,000 low-grade crystals, just to divert attention—such a grand gesture.
The remaining 200,000 low-grade crystals were unceremoniously taken by Zhang Guodong.
The true "treasure room," however, can only be opened with the guidance of an "Ascension Token."
It was a mechanism and a seal, and once it was released, Zhang Guodong was instantly shocked by the terrifying fluctuations of life force emanating from within.
Taking a casual breath, I felt that my level 19 plant cultivation seemed to have improved significantly.
This really scared Zhang Guodong quite a bit.
Quickly restart the mechanisms and seals. Otherwise, if outsiders discover it, how can this place be preserved? Therefore, that astonishing aura of life-giving demonic power appeared and disappeared in an instant.
A space of several thousand cubic meters, this was a sealed space. Six golden storage bags were casually placed on the ground, on top of the large pile of high-grade and mid-grade crystals.
Zhang Guodong gasped a few times.
Six high-grade storage bags?!
That's the contents of each ten-cubic-meter storage space! Ten times the capacity of a purple intermediate storage bag. And there are six of them!
This space was filled entirely with mid-grade and high-grade crystals. There wasn't a single low-grade one. No, atop the pile of crystals, dozens of crystals had appeared, their color now a deep, dark black. The extremely powerful fluctuations of their life force made the life force they contained far purer and more abundant than that of the other high-grade and mid-grade crystals.
"Could it be a 'top-grade crystal'?!"
Zhang Guodong's eyes gleamed with an unprecedented light, like a wolf eyeing its prey.
Zhang Guodong didn't know how he got out. Anyway, those six golden storage bags contained "ten thousand mid-grade crystals," "ten thousand high-grade crystals," and a few top-grade crystals, which shocked him so much that he couldn't recover for a long time.
A high-end golden storage bag?
Inside were extremely precious refining materials, intended for crafting magical artifacts, not magical weapons. They were just a few magical artifacts, but none that Zhang Guodong could currently use.
Magical implements and magical treasures—a difference of only one word, yet they are worlds apart.
Intermediate and advanced magical artifacts can be bound to a master by dripping blood. With more practice, they can be used freely. However, the magical artifact will then possess a spirit, a true spirit.
Its aura was completely different from that of magical artifacts. A sense of raw mystery and ancient simplicity enveloped it.
It needs to be refined!
Refine it continuously with the flames generated by the demonic power of life!
With Zhang Guodong's current cultivation level, he would need to refine any of these magical treasures continuously for decades or even centuries before he could use them.
This is a message left by Huangji Sanren for his successor.
Helpless, Zhang Guodong stayed there for half a day, then quickly packed up his belongings and left the cave.
The exit is right below the cliff; standing at the exit, you can see the waves crashing below. Apparently, it's also possible to enter from low altitudes. However, most aerial pilots don't fly that low, so they naturally wouldn't be able to detect the entrance.
Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan, however, used a ruse, actually entering from the seabed. But this cover-up ultimately proved meaningless.
At this moment, Zhang Guodong could truly be considered extremely wealthy. And his wealth was measured in crystals and magical artifacts.
Top-grade crystal: Strong block. Superior-grade crystal: Fierce block. Medium-grade crystal: Bare block. Inferior-grade crystal: Not concave block.
Magical artifacts: 2 high-level magical artifacts, from the great master "Lei Xuan". Old mid-level magical artifacts, from "Lei Xuan" Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan. Several basic magical artifacts.
Magical artifact: A piece casually discarded by Huangji Sanren. Also includes several materials for crafting magical artifacts, along with the crafting method.
Pills are plentiful, especially basic ones. Intermediate pills are less common, mainly due to a lack of recipes. There are no high-grade pills, but there is one recipe comparable to a high-grade pill: the "Hundred Herbs Rejuvenating Pill."
Other items, such as raw gold and jade ore and medicinal herb gardens, became the worst collectibles.
In short, Zhang Guodong's reputation as a "tycoon" is now firmly established.
Of course, these things cannot be leaked. They can only be kept secret, by underground wealthy individuals.
"Most of these things aren't useful now, but they'll definitely be very useful to me in the future!" Zhang Guodong thought to himself. "It's time to go back. Ten days have passed, and it's almost time to go back."
The original plan was to resolve this matter within ten days. However, eight days have already passed.
Nearly two months have passed since Zhang Guodong left, and the Zhang family has been incredibly happy. The reason is simple: although Zhang Guodong, that irresponsible fellow, is always running off, the family is never short of joy.
Several families were gathered around Zhang Guodong's three children. The three little ones could already speak simple words and walk quite nimbly with their small arms and legs.
"Mom, Grandpa, Grandma! Auntie! Brother, Brother, Sister!"
These are the words we use most often.
But the word "dad" was conspicuously absent. The little ones didn't know what a dad was. This worried the family, and they would occasionally curse Zhang Guodong for being heartless.
At this point, you might be wondering, why are these three little ones together?
The Zhang family now has one more adult and one more child.
Ye Yun and her son Zhang Hao.
This story begins with an encounter.
Zheng Le works in the Personnel Department of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department. Although he has Li Jinbo, the Executive Vice Minister, protecting him, he still has his share of regular social engagements. Once, at the Jiahao Hotel, the department hosted a banquet for a director from the Central Propaganda Department, with Li Jinbo, the Executive Vice Minister, in attendance, and Zheng Le also participated.
Unexpectedly, this trip led to an encounter with Ye Yun.
That day, Ye Yun came to the hotel to oversee things. Her family's nanny had to take two days off, so she had no choice but to bring little Zhang Hao to the hotel. But this little guy, who had learned to walk, was very restless, giggling and running around everywhere.
He falls down and gets up on his own without crying.
This, however, attracted the attention of many guests. This adorable little boy was indeed very attractive. Of course, the descendants of plant cultivators, unless by accident, are generally not ugly.
This might not seem like a big deal to others, but Zheng Le saw it and was struck dumb.
Although Zhang Hao is only a little over a year old, his little face is already starting to develop. Zheng Le almost cried out:
That's right!
Xiao Zhanghao and her son Zhang Xiaowen look remarkably alike! They're practically identical!
Zheng Le immediately became suspicious.
After finishing the social engagement absentmindedly, I said goodbye to Li Jinbo and left work early.
Ye Cuihua, the mother, noticed that her second daughter-in-law seemed off when she came home from work, so she quickly asked what was wrong. This shows her protectiveness towards her daughter-in-law. The mother is quite assertive.
In their minds, a beautiful woman in officialdom is not someone who would become a mistress or fall into depravity; they simply cannot bear to see such news.
Zheng Le hesitated for a long time before telling the truth.
Seeing her second daughter-in-law's distress, Mom was furious. But she couldn't reach Zhang Guodong by phone. So the next day, Mom found Fatty and, like a laborer, went straight to the Jiahao Hotel to get to the bottom of things.
Because Mom already knows that Fatty's sister is the owner of Jiahao Hotel, and that Ye Yun is also the general manager there.
The fat guy was in a panic. But he couldn't get in touch with Zhang Guodong, so he could only go with a wry smile. Was this going to be a clash of titans?
The mother rushed to find Ye Yun. Ye Yun was playing with her son and was quite surprised to see the fat man and her mother.
Zhang Hao wasn't afraid of strangers at all, and even called out in a childish voice, "Grandma!"
The sound startled everyone. Little Zhang Hao's clear eyes looked at his mother, and her heart trembled. At first glance, he really did look exactly like Xiao Wen!
"Yes!" Mom's heart is soft, and she immediately responded happily.
The fat man coughed and said, "Sister Yun, she is Guodong's mother, also surnamed Ye, Aunt Ye!"
Ye Yun panicked immediately. Watching her mother play with her grandson, she didn't know how to address him. At that moment, she lost the composure of a CEO and became very flustered.
Do they already know?
Her mind was in turmoil. She hoped Zhang Guodong's mother would know that Xiao Zhanghao was also her grandson, but she was also afraid of causing trouble for Zhang Guodong. After all, Zhang Guodong already had a legal wife.
"Ah, Auntie, please sit down! I'll get you some water. Hao Hao, be good to your mother, okay? Don't cause trouble!" Ye Yun quickly went to pour the water.
The CEO's office is actually quite similar to a luxury suite. There are several rooms where you can rest and wait.
The fat man followed them and whispered, "Aunt Ye wanted to come see you and Xiao Zhang Hao. I suspect she knows something. We'll have to face it now, but maybe it's a good thing. You can't stay away from the Zhang family forever."
Ye Yun was naturally more than willing.
"Where's Guodong? Can you get in touch with him now?"
"Sister Yun, I don't know where Guodong went either," the fat man said with a wry smile.
“I know Guodong’s family. That person used to be a top host on Channel 2, and they have a son and a daughter. If Xiaohao and I go there, will they accept us?” Ye Yun couldn’t calm down at all.
She was thinking that if things went wrong, the Zhang family would be in chaos. If that happened, she didn't want to see Zhang Guodong in a difficult position.
That's a difficult question for the fat man to answer.
Nowadays, monogamy is the norm. Polygamy? No one can accept that. The fat man thought anxiously, "Guodong, you need to come back soon! Maybe that kid Guodong really has a way of handling this family matter perfectly."
When Ye Yun brought out the water again, she was still worried, but she was calmer than before. Seeing Zhang Hao playing happily with his mother, and her mother's loving gaze, made her feel a little relieved.
This, however, was a turning point.
After an afternoon of rest, Xiao Zhanghao finally got tired and fell asleep, and only then did his mother leave.
Before leaving, he said, "I've heard about it from Xiao Wang. No matter what, Xiao Zhang Hao is still a member of the Zhang family. I'll beg and kneel to resolve this matter. I'll come see you and your son again later!"
A few days later, I don't know what Mom and Dad said to Zheng's dad, but anyway, a few days later, Mom and Dad came to pick up Xiao Zhanghao from Ye Yun's place. To Ye Yun's surprise, Zheng Le also came.
Zheng Le's enthusiasm brought tears to Ye Yun's eyes. The two women hugged and cried for a long time.
"What a tragedy!" Mom held little Zhang Hao, looked at the two girls, and cursed Zhang Guodong in her heart again.
From then on, Xiao Zhang Hao moved into the Zhang family villa and played together with his younger brother Zhang Xiaowen and younger sister Zhang Xiaotong. This was considered his official entry into the family.
Ye Yun hit the nanny, but sometimes she would come back here for meals. Zheng Le, on the other hand, was as close to Ye Yun as sisters. They couldn't see each other clearly.
Of course, Zhang Guodong, who was on his way back, was unaware of all this. He just wanted to surprise everyone. So, he simply shut down the phone.
A day later, Zhang Guodong, who had been rushing to get there, finally stood outside the gate of the provincial television station.
"Finally back! We drove at night and took cars during the day, and it still took us more than a day to get back!"
"Haohao, Xiaotong, Xiaowen, time to eat!" Zheng Le, wearing an apron, called out as she came out of the kitchen in the villa.
These three. The little guy is still eating liquid food. But this liquid food is no ordinary thing. When Zhang Guodong left, he left all the honey, royal jelly, and other special products for his family and Ye Yun's place. Royal jelly is specifically defined in this book as a superior product compared to royal jelly, as mentioned in the previous notes. I'll just mention it again here, please don't take it too seriously. He also made papaya powder from a fruit that he accidentally planted in Peach Blossom Spring.
We usually mix papaya powder with honey and cook it into porridge, and the three little ones are addicted to it.
The adults eat staple food, while the three little ones drink porridge. But they have to be fed, otherwise the two brothers, Zhang Hao and Zhang Xiaowen, are the most mischievous and will knock over their bowls.
Our little lady Zhang Xiaotong is quite well-behaved. She is often praised by her grandma and grandpa.
"Sister Yun, stop what you're doing and come out to eat!" Zheng Le called out to the kitchen. In the dining room, Mom and Dad were busy looking after the three little ones, not stopping for a moment.
Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Mei didn't come that day. Ever since Ye Yun entered their family, Mr. Zheng still had reservations. And when facing Ye Yun together, they, as elders, couldn't bring themselves to back down.
"That's all, you guys eat first!" Ye Yun replied.
Zheng Le didn't insist, and said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, let the three of them make a scene. You two eat first, I'll look after them."
"It's okay, I'm not that hungry. You eat first, you have to go to work later!" Mom said with a smile.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who could it be?" Mom frowned and said. The timing couldn't be worse; they're coming right at mealtime.
Zheng Mu went to check the door first.
When the door opened, an embarrassed Zhang Guodong was standing outside.
"Lele, I forgot my keys!"
"You still know how to come back? Humph!" To everyone's surprise, Zheng Le's face quickly turned cold. He opened the door, turned around, and walked inside.
Zhang Guodong's father-in-law was completely baffled. What was going on?
Is he annoyed that I'm always out and about? Is he neglecting her?
There's an 80% chance that this is possible!
Zhang Guodong chuckled and shouted, "Mom and Dad! I'm home! Xiaotong and Xiaowen, Dad's home!"
"Clang!" It sounded like a plate had broken.
Zhang Guodong rushed into the restaurant and then froze.
"Where did these three come from?" Three pairs of small eyes looked curiously at the extra big guy.
At the kitchen doorway, Ye Yun was hurriedly cleaning up the broken plates and the dishes scattered all over the floor.
Boom! Zhang Guodong's mind went blank for a moment.
Why is this happening?
"Hmph, so you still know how to come back?" His mother's voice rang out. Zhang Guodong quickly lowered his head, looking like he was admitting his mistake, but his mind was racing.
