During this time, Ye Ran also taught Ji Yin and the others two new desserts: pumpkin cakes and purple sweet potato squares. The two of them learned very seriously and mastered them in no time.
After finishing, Ye Ran made an excuse to go home and prepare the materials needed for the secret recipe, leaving the rest to Hou Zhiqiang and his wife. Before receiving any money, she went back to Liuye Village with Lu Yi.
For Ye Ran now, making money is no longer the most important thing. The most important thing right now is to find Master Wu's temple and combine the two pieces of jade into one in front of his spirit tablet.
What Ye Ran didn't say aloud was that she was somewhat looking forward to what changes would occur in her space when the two pieces of jade were combined...
Her current space is not large, only about seven or eight square meters. Most importantly, the whole space looks gray and lifeless.
Ye Ran had tried to bring some things in, but it didn't work.
In the center of the space there was only a small pond, about half a square meter in size, in which a single lotus plant grew alone.
It was because of this solitary lotus that Ye Ran was able to collect dewdrops, though there weren't many. But after her testing, she discovered that the dewdrops had a magical effect...
Not only can it improve physical fitness, but adding it to food can also make the food taste better!
Now, just this little bit can bring so many benefits to my health and career.
Ye Ran was eager to see what surprises awaited her after the two pieces of jade were put together...
Thinking about the surprises that might come next, Ye Ran didn't feel so scared of Half Cloud Mountain anymore...
When the two returned to the village, it was still early, around eleven o'clock.
But they didn't bother with eating; the two of them quietly took Lu Yi's secret route from behind Willow Leaf Village and headed up Half Cloud Mountain...
Although Ye Ran already knew about Lu Yi's activities on Banyun Mountain, she pretended not to know.
As they walked, he feigned an inquiry, "Lu Yi, how do you know about such a hidden path?"
She hadn't expected Lu Yi to tell her the truth, but to her surprise, he told her everything very frankly.
“My grandfather and I planted some medicinal herbs on this mountain. My grandfather was mainly in charge of it, and I would go up the mountain to help with things like watering the herbs when I had nothing to do. The herbs I sent to the black market were picked from here.”
Ye Ran blinked and asked the question she had always wanted to ask, "How did you come up with the idea of growing medicinal herbs on this back mountain?"
This Banyun Mountain is extremely dangerous; even the people from our village dare not go up there!
Lu Yi smiled brightly at her, "Actually, it's not as dangerous as you think. I once stumbled upon a mountain by accident and found that I wasn't as haunted as the villagers said. Plus, my grandmother was also very ill at the time."
I risked going up the mountain to find medicinal herbs, and accidentally discovered a hidden cave. When I went into the cave, I was surprised to find that it was a completely different world inside!
Moreover, the medicinal herb fields we are planting now were not created by us, but were already there!
This means that this area on Half Cloud Mountain was deliberately hidden, but the person responsible can no longer be found..."
Ye Ran was somewhat shocked, "Has anyone ever been on Banyun Mountain?"
Lu Yi nodded firmly, "That's right! If I'm not mistaken..."
The various terrifying rumors circulating in the village about Banyun Mountain were probably spread by this person, just to prevent people from discovering the secrets hidden on Banyun Mountain…
Ye Ran has been so shocked by all the secrets these past few days that she can hardly believe it herself. When did such a small village as Willow Leaf Village accumulate so many secrets...?
