As for the three storage rings... they're still a bit too valuable.

At this stage, Tian Qing is not yet capable of selling items of this level.

Lu Ye plans to use ten thousand silver taels to designate another draw, enter closed cultivation for a while, and consider selling them after his strength has increased.

If selling the storage rings causes trouble, he will have enough power to handle it.

Seeing these two items, Tian Qing was stunned.

Mortal Tier Upper Grade Long Saber, starting at least one hundred silver taels.

As for the Profound Tier Lower Grade dagger — it's simply an assassin's favorite.

Not only can those in the Postnatal Realm use it, even those in the Innate Realm would be tempted.

Casually selling it for one or two thousand silver taels would be easy.

If it meets someone fated to have it, they might even want it for three thousand.

These two items basically replenish the silver taken out by the Tian Family's Shang Pavilion!

"Sell these two weapons, your dozen or twenty people rely on the Shang Pavilion for your meals." Lu Ye said.

Tian Qing sighed, "Initially intended to help Young Master Chen, but in the end, it wasn't any help."

Lu Ye responded indifferently, "No worries, having that intent is enough."

...

...

Returning to his courtyard with ten thousand silver taels in hand, Lu Ye found it had completely transformed in a short span of time.

Every corner was meticulously cleaned, even the weeds in the cracks by the walls were cleared.

From the kitchen, whiffs of cooking smoke arose mixed with the aroma of freshly made dishes.

Inside the kitchen, Qing Yu who was cooking, upon hearing the noise, popped her head out, and upon seeing Lu Ye, immediately said joyfully.

"Master, just wait a little longer, the dishes will be ready soon."

Even though in the Innate Realm one doesn't need to eat and can solely absorb Heaven and Earth Source Qi for energy metabolism.

But the feeling of eating to replenish energy can't be compared to only absorbing Heaven and Earth Source Qi.

Thus, Lu Ye smiled slightly, waiting for the little maid to finish her busy work.

A moment later, faced with the freshly cooked three dishes and one soup, he tasted a bite and was somewhat surprised.

Previously meals were taken at the Jiang Family's canteen, unexpectedly Qing Yu's culinary skills turned out to be remarkably good.

"Master, do they suit your taste?" Qing Yu asked expectantly yet somewhat nervously.

"Never expected, turns out your cooking's pretty good." Lu Ye nodded.

"Master liking it is what matters." Hearing those words, Qing Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes smiling into crescents.

In contrast to Lu Ye's courtyard, at the Jiang Family, Jiang Lingyue felt she was even too absent-minded to eat, blankly staring at the ceiling.

Jiang Qingge's feelings for brother-in-law, Jiang Lingyue was unsure.

But Jiang Lingyue realized... she seemed to have a bit, liked Lu Ye.

When Lu Ye was at the Jiang Family, this feeling wasn't apparent, as she could see him every day.

But now, suddenly learning Lu Ye had left, Jiang Lingyue just felt incredibly distressed.

That night, Jiang Lingyue fell ill, couldn't eat, lay in bed with a paler complexion.

Jiang Qingge hurriedly arrived, reached out to feel her sister's forehead...

turned out it was extremely hot.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Qingge was somewhat surprised.

Even she rarely fell ill, as a Martial Arts Cultivator in the Condensing Origin Realm, Jiang Lingyue's physical condition should be better.

"I'm fine... cough cough cough!" Before finishing her sentence, Jiang Lingyue broke into a violent cough.

Seeing her usually lively sister now in this state, a trace of heartache flashed in Jiang Qingge's eyes.

"I'll go find a doctor for you."

The Jiang Family fetched a doctor, prescribed several medicines but Jiang Lingyue showed little sign of improvement after two days.

Helplessly, they could only call the doctor over again.

The doctor upon seeing, stroked his beard and said, "Second Miss's illness... seems to be a heartache, not treatable by medicine."

...

...

These days, Lu Ye immersed himself in the cultivation of the Four Divine Ancient Seals, progress slow but steadily gaining proficiency.

"Shouldn't be too far from the Skilled Realm."

Rising to walk outside, gazing at the neatly arranged courtyard, Lu Ye summoned Qing Yu, and handed her a hundred silver taels for daily expenses.

"Master, why... why are you giving me so much silver?"

Seeing so much silver, Qing Yu was taken aback, stammering slightly.

"For buying ingredients and cooking meals, managing the courtyard's flowers and plants also requires silver." Lu Ye replied.

"Even then doesn't need this much..." Qing Yu muttered softly.

"Keep it on you, just use it as needed, lest I forget sometimes."

Qing Yu nodded, "Alright, don't worry Master, I won't spend it recklessly."

...

...

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, Lu Ye's Four Divine Ancient Seals finally reached the Skilled Realm!

In his mind, a Vermilion Bird shadow and a heavy Black Tortoise shadow seemed to appear!

Outside Cloud Leaf City.

Lu Ye stood by a great river a few miles outside the city, his mind stirred.

In an instant, vast and surging Heaven and Earth Source Qi gathered above him.

A Vermilion Bird Divine Bird shadow carrying a faint hint of divine awe appeared, its entire body filled with heat, appeared in a flash.

Chirp!

The Vermilion Bird Divine Bird swooped down, instantly blasting a frightening deep trench in the rushing river, directly splitting it apart!

Mountain Opening and River Breaking!

Lu Ye retracted his hand contentedly, such terrifying power, no wonder even a fragment could rank as a Celestial Realm terror-inducing martial technique.

Still only at the Skilled stage, yet with such grand might.

Once reaching Small Success, or even Great Success...

It will be yet another trump card in Lu Ye's hand.

Sensing the commotion caused by the Broken River seemed to attract many people over, Lu Ye's figure flashed, directly left.

Moments later, several figures landed at this place one after another.

Looking at the scene before them, the rushing great river directly severed, rapidly filling the frightful trench, restoring water flow, instantly in utter shock.

"Who is here?! Such terrifying strength! Mountain Opening and River Breaking... I, Mr. Jia, today have truly witnessed this!"

"Hiss, can the Innate Realm achieve this step?"

"Afraid not, even if old I am at the Innate Second Layer, even with greater realms can't achieve Broken River."

"So it's an Innate Realm elder! You... are you Tian Qing the elder?!"

Among those attracted, Tian Qing was notably present.

Gazing at the awe-inspiring deep trench not by man's force, Tian Qing's old eyes were full of shock.

Only those like him who have reached the Innate Realm understand how truly frightening it is within.

Common folks might think only Innate Realm can achieve this step.

But Tian Qing knows, even the Innate Seventh Layer cannot!

Only Above Innate, those Martial Arts Grandmasters revered by many Innate, perhaps, can attain!

"This place is not far from Cloud Leaf City... could it be, there's a Grandmaster Realm expert in the city unknown to old me?!"

Hiss...

Tian Qing's scalp tingled instantly, in a mere Cloud Leaf City, besides Young Master Chen Beixuan the supreme Innate, there's also... a Martial Arts Grandmaster?!

A land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers... hidden dragons and crouching tigers indeed!
