Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 104 The Aura of the Mortal World, Striding Forward

"It turns out to be the local spirit official of Yemo Village on his way..."

As he said this, the Night Wanderer withdrew his gaze and didn't forget to explain to Su Ji.

"Although Ye Mo, the Earth Spirit Official, is a Ghost King, his Heavenly Soul and Spiritual Nature are still at the Cave Profound Mage level. Therefore, he has also purchased a token to enter the Bright Moon Spirit Realm..."

The will of the Spirit Realm forbids the Ghost King from entering, but Ye Mo, the Earth Spirit Official, can entrust his consciousness to the Heavenly Soul Spirit, and thus can also seek treasures and cultivate in the Bright Moon Spirit Realm.

Su Ji understood, and then something came to mind. He spoke frankly:
"I heard that the Yin Sha Antique Case happened in Ye Mo Village, but the investigation only uncovered one ancient tomb..."

"But I think the blind old cultivator really does have some skills. I hope that the local earth god of Ye Mo Village won't end up like the previous earth god of Dong Sang and Xi Sang..."

Su Ji didn't finish speaking, but the Night Wanderer Spirit understood the meaning behind it.

In fact, this Night Wanderer was still a Night Wanderer Soldier a month ago. It was only because of the many changes in divine positions caused by the haunting cases in East and West Sang that he finally succeeded in winning the position of Night Wanderer from the competition of many rivals.

Immediately, the Night Wanderer Spirit General said with great certainty, "Your local earth god and I have thoroughly investigated Ye Mo Village. Not only did we find nothing amiss with the Night Wanderer Spirit Soldiers, but the people also showed no signs of being harmed by demons or ghosts..."

Clearly, the Yin Sha Antique case has been closed. In the eyes of the Night Wanderer General, even if there is still a so-called great calamity in the northeast, it should not be in Ye Mo Village.

Su Ji thought of the blind old Taoist priest. Although he felt something was wrong, even with the Heavenly Calculation method, it was difficult to deduce a result due to insufficient information.

"We've arrived at Xisang Village—"

After giving the reminder, the Night Wanderer nodded and smiled, "I have a mission to patrol the four directions, and as you said, I need to pay special attention to the northeast. I'll leave you here!"

Su Ji bowed and thanked them, saying, "Thank you for escorting me, Night Wanderer!"

Subsequently, Su Ji arrived at his God of Wealth Project test site, watched by the Night Wanderer Spirit.

More than half a month has passed since the fireworks feast for the gods on February 16th.

After many days of practice and adjustment, the Li couple's culinary skills have become renowned far and wide. The news that they are planning to open a restaurant in Jinfeng County with Zhou Lan and others has spread throughout Dongsang and Xisang villages.

When Su Ji returned to the Zhang family courtyard, he learned that the problem of the restaurant's premises had actually been resolved.

It was only a little past seven in the evening, and Zhang Xiaolian hadn't gone to bed yet. She hugged her pillow and began to speak vividly:
"My mother first went to my uncle's house. My uncle asked around and spent a lot of time finding a small house at the end of the city. Even if it was demolished and rebuilt, it would only be a small eatery."

"In the afternoon, my mother found a good friend of my father's, but the friend advised us to give in to the landlord who was trying to raise the rent..."

"How could my mother possibly bring shame to my father and grandfather? She didn't agree to the suggestion at all... But she hadn't been out for long when she ran into that fortune-telling old Taoist priest."

"The old fortune teller saw that my mother looked unwell, so he asked her a question..."

It turned out that the blind old Taoist priest had not set up a scheme for the landlord, nor did he have any connections. He was just well-informed and had informed Zhang and her daughter about the Qian family restaurant.

When they arrived at Qian's Restaurant, it was indeed sealed off by a group of government officials.

It turns out that Qianjia Restaurant not only added drugs to the drinks, but also colluded with dealers who illegally slaughtered cattle to sell beef, which has become a significant case.

In the pre-mechanized era, farming relied almost entirely on oxen. Beef was edible, but the slaughter of oxen was forbidden.

The kitchen staff and head manager of Qian Family Restaurant were taken to the yamen (government office), and even the waiters were questioned...

Upon seeing Zhang and her daughter, a quick-witted constable immediately summoned Chen, the clerk…

"Chen Dianshi patted his chest and made a guarantee, saying that the restaurant's reputation was ruined and it would definitely not be able to continue operating. After the Qian family terminated the lease, he would immediately help us arrange the rental..." In fact, the Qian family's purpose in running this restaurant was to collect drunkenness and alcohol. The restaurant did not officially belong to the Qian family, but was owned by a relative of the Qian family.

"A medium-sized restaurant is just the right size, with all the necessary facilities, and the location isn't bad either. If things go smoothly, it could even open in just seven or eight days!"

Then, Zhang Xiaolian said with a smile, "Uncle Zhou is short of money and wants to borrow money from Uncle Zhou, but Uncle Zhou insists on taking half the shares. Uncle Zhou gritted his teeth and decided to use the money he earned from raising silkworms to participate in the investment."

Finally, Uncle Zhou sighed helplessly and lent Uncle Zhou twenty taels of silver...

Zhou Laosi is Zhou Lan, and Zhou Laosan is Zhou Wen. Zhang Xiaolian found the two cousins ​​interesting and said a few more words to them.

Su Ji not only didn't find it boring, but instead enjoyed the rare atmosphere of the mortal world.

The intense training and battles of the past few days had left him mentally strained, and even though he had slept through the effects of alcohol, something was still missing.

Now, the everyday life of ordinary people, the progress of the God of Wealth's plan, and the impact of the Yin-Yang realm on reality... have made Su Ji feel the visible progress and the meaning of life.

So, Su Ji took out something with great interest: "Zhang E, look what this is?"

Unlike Mo Linglong, Su Ji was an ancient golden toad in Zhang Xiaolian's eyes. Su Ji did not show Zhang Xiaolian the ever-changing clouds and the rising and setting sun in the Mica World, but rather the treasures he brought out from the Great Sun Spirit Realm.

However, Zhang Xiaolian looked puzzled and said, "...There's nothing here!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Xiaolian's vision blurred, and then a heart-shaped stone about an inch tall appeared out of thin air.

Outside the stone, clouds and mist swirled and coalesced, five apertures on the stone's surface continuously enlarged, and within the stone, a hazy spiritual light flowed...

"What beautiful clouds! They can transform into such a large and peculiar stone, imbued with mysterious and ethereal light... This time, the ancient Golden Toad has actually made so many gains!"

Zhang Xiaolian lived in the countryside, yet she possessed real dreams. She loved listening to stories since childhood and was particularly fascinated by the ancient history fabricated by Su Ji.

In the past few days, Su Ji would briefly recount his day's experiences every night. Today, Zhang Xiaolian took the initiative to ask, so Su Ji naturally had no intention of hiding anything.

It just so happens that Su Ji always eats spiritual food and cultivates his bloodline techniques whenever he comes back, and he also has a Heavenly Soul Spirit that can transmit his voice, so it doesn't interfere with chatting at all.

"...Originally, I wanted to bring the materialized golden toad into the Great Sun Spirit Realm to excavate the old pit, but in the end, I captured a group of demons and ghosts, and Mo Linglong also helped with her mechanical spirit beast Yuan Yuan..."

"...The Earth Serpent Lord had had enough of the Seven Aperture Heart Stone that imprisoned it and planned to use it as payment for Mo Linglong's help in opening up the underground passage. This Five Aperture Heart Stone will then belong to me."

"Therefore, I used the Earth Yang Mica to shield the five orifice heart stones and used the Xuan technique [Deflecting the Mysterious Realm] to influence them, successfully evading the detection of the Spirit Realm Gate."

"Tomorrow, I will try to use this method to bring the high-grade Earth Yang Stone into the Great Sun Spirit Realm. If I succeed, the day after tomorrow I will try to bring the high-grade Blazing Crystal into the Great Sun Spirit Realm..."

As Su Ji described the plans for the next two days, he noticed that Zhang Xiaolian looked somewhat gloomy.

In an instant, Su Ji realized the reason: "Zhang E, are you thinking about Mo Linglong?"

When Mo Linglong was twelve or thirteen years old, she developed health problems... Her two forms, silver-haired with golden eyes and white-haired girl, were also Zhang Xiaolian's contemporaries.

Zhang Xiaolian nodded, then looked out the window in a daze.

At this moment, the crescent moon hung in the sky, giving everything in the world a hazy feel. The moonlight fell on Zhang Xiaolian, but it seemed to add a touch of sadness.
