The first person to come up saw Chen Yuanbao and immediately raised his hand to fire a shot.

"Bang!"

When the gunshot rang out, the pebble in Chen Yuanbao's hand flew out.

"when!"

After a crisp sound, the pebble and the bullet collided in mid-air.

The bullet was deflected by the stone and hit the earthen wall with a "thud".

The person at the very front had their eyes practically popping out of their head.

He had never seen anything so bizarre!

He fired two more shots.

"Bang! Bang!"

With a wave of his hand, Chen Yuanbao shot out two pebbles, and the bullet was deflected.

The leader's hands had begun to tremble.

Chen Yuanbao smiled as he looked at him, and walked forward step by step:

"Brother, your marksmanship isn't very good."

"You...don't come any closer!" The leader stepped back.

Chen Yuanbao walked up to him and snatched the gun away.

The movement was swift, like lightning, and the leader didn't even have time to react.

Chen Yuanbao took the gun, examined it, and then said with a smile:

"I'm not very good at using this. You can keep it yourself."

He returned the gun to the man.

The man at the front was trembling like a leaf, holding a gun but not daring to fire.

Chen Yuanbao walked up to him, his eyes turning cold:

"Go back and tell Scarface Dragon."

"From now on, anyone who dares to come to my territory will suffer a fate worse than death."

The leader kept nodding.

"roll."

The man at the front dragged the three brothers lying on the ground to their feet and then scrambled away.

After watching them disappear into the night, Chen Yuanbao let out a long sigh of relief.

After seeing the guests off, Chen Yuanbao returned to the courtyard and went to the dry well.

He reached out and removed the wooden plank from the wellhead.

As soon as the spirit eyes opened, the spiritual spring water at the bottom of the well turned a faint blue.

Deeper into the well, the silvery aura seeping from the spiritual veins was much denser than it had been a few days ago.

Chen Yuanbao frowned.

wrong.

Based on his previous assessment, the spirit jade marrow, acting as a "plug," sealed off most of the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein. This small amount that seeped out should be quite stable.

But now, the airflow has widened.

After activating his spiritual vision, he focused his attention on the southwest corner of the courtyard.

There was a faint purple light emanating from the spot where the spirit jade marrow was buried.

Deeper underground beneath the Spirit Jade Marrow, Chen Yuanbao sensed something else.

That thing... seems to still be alive.

Chen Yuanbao gasped.

His previous assessment of the chalcedony may have been incorrect.

This is not an ordinary "stopper".

This is a seal.

What lies hidden beneath the seal?

Chen Yuanbao walked to the southwest corner of the courtyard, squatted down, and pressed his ear to the ground.

He could hear a faint humming sound from underground.

The sound was very regular, like a heartbeat.

Chen Yuanbao's palms were sweating.

Only then did he understand why the inheritance of Fairy Xuanqing had chosen him.

Why did they bury the spirit jade marrow in his yard?

Therefore, there must be an even bigger secret.

After he stood up, he went into the room and took out a jade pendant from an iron box under the bed.

This jade tablet appeared after the Fairy Xuanqing passed it on to him, leaving a legacy in his heart.

The jade plaque is engraved with the two characters "Qing Yuan".

Chen Yuanbao held the jade tablet in his hand and closed his eyes.

He felt that there was an inexplicable relationship between the jade tablet and the underground seal.

He opened his eyes and looked out at the night view.

What exactly lies beneath the land in Sanshui Village?

He doesn't know yet.

But one thing he was certain of...

He must improve his strength as soon as possible.

He had a feeling that after his strength increased, he would encounter not only Li Fugui and Lu Zhenbang, but also the wives of the provincial capital.

There are also some things he cannot yet imagine.

Early the next morning, Chen Yuanbao called Widow Liu to his home to discuss the planting of medicinal herbs on the back mountain with her.

Chen Yuanbao himself visited the damaged area once. He poured some spiritual spring water onto the salted area.

As soon as the spring water enters the soil, the salt in the soil is significantly neutralized.

Chen Yuanbao then used his spiritual eyes to investigate the underground conditions of the entire contracted land.

Upon looking at it, he was surprised again.

Beneath the thirty acres of land behind the mountain, there was a very thin spiritual vein!

However, this spiritual vein was much thinner than the one beneath his yard and was not "sealed".

No wonder the legacy of Fairy Xuanqing guided him to go into the mountains.

So this is the real gift that Fairy Xuanqing left for him: a whole land of spiritual energy.

Standing on the hill behind the mountain, Chen Yuanbao looked at the once barren land before him, his eyes gradually becoming fervent.

In less than three years, these thirty acres of land became his foundation.

From now on, whether it's the health centers in the provincial capital, the power in the countryside, or my own cultivation, I'll have to rely on this land.

He took a deep breath.

When Widow Liu, standing beside him, saw that light in Chen Yuanbao's eyes, she was deeply moved.

For the first time, she felt that the silly boy she had watched grow up had flown to a place she could no longer reach.

"Yuanbao..." Widow Liu whispered, "Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law will stay with you."

Chen Yuanbao turned his head, looked at her, and then said with a smile:

"Sister-in-law, follow me, and we'll share all the good things in life."

……

It started to drizzle at night.

Chen Yuanbao sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), holding the "Qingyuan" jade pendant in his hand, stroking the words on it with his fingertips again and again.

The rain outside the window pattered against the earthen tiles, and the kerosene lamp inside flickered.

The door creaked open.

Widow Liu came in carrying a bowl of hot noodles, her hair still damp with raindrops. She placed the bowl on the table and spoke in a very low voice:

"Yuanbao, eat it while it's hot. Your sister-in-law poached two eggs for you."

Chen Yuanbao looked up at her.

She wore a faded floral blouse today, her hair damp and clinging to her cheeks. While her face wasn't particularly beautiful, her eyes and brows possessed a gentle warmth unique to rural women, which was heartwarming to behold.

"Sister-in-law, it's so late, why are you coming over?"

Widow Liu lowered her head, unsure of what to do with her hands, twisting the hem of her dress:

"I...I can't sleep."

She paused for a moment, then lowered her voice even further:

"Yuanbao, your sister-in-law has something to ask you, please don't laugh at me."

"you say."

"Do you have someone in the provincial capital...?"

Chen Yuanbao was taken aback.

Widow Liu's face flushed red instantly, and she quickly waved her hands:

"Don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant! I just... I was thinking that now that you're successful, you should settle down and start a family sooner or later. That CEO Su in the provincial capital is good-looking and capable, and he's a good match for you..."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

Chen Yuanbao looked at her lowered head and the redness around her ears.
