Hearing Du Mengnan's words, Zhao Xinyu's mind flashed. The area where his courtyard was located only had his side that could communicate with the outside. The east was the Luo River, and the west and north were deep ravines over thirty meters deep. There were indeed two families behind, but according to Han Tianliang, they had moved out a few years ago and bought houses outside, so they shouldn't be coming back.

Now that Du Mengnan reminded him, his thoughts became more active. The three courtyards, along with the empty roads or wastelands, added up to about forty to fifty acres. If he could get all of it, it would be a good choice for him, at least he wouldn't have to worry about farmland for the time being.

"I'll make a call."

Half an hour later, Han Tianliang called back. He had already contacted the two families, but they had heard of Zhao Xinyu. When they heard that Zhao Xinyu wanted to buy their courtyards, they all quoted a flat price of 300,000 yuan.

After all, 300,000 yuan in the village was enough to buy several similar courtyards. According to Han Tianliang, there were still over ten acres of farmland to the east. Why spend so much money to buy their dilapidated courtyards?

"What's wrong?"

"Each courtyard is priced at 300,000 yuan, no negotiation."

"Give me your phone."

Zhao Xinyu didn't know what Du Mengnan was going to do, but he handed over his phone without asking. He was thinking about whether he should buy those two courtyards.

"Done, I think you should buy them."

Zhao Xinyu nodded subconsciously, "You just...?"

"Qingguoqingcheng is sold out, I've transferred the money to you. By the way, we can make another batch when you have time."

"You sold it?"

Du Mengnan giggled, "Of course. You made 265 bottles in total. My Youmeng Orchid fragrance is my running fee. After deducting what you promised to the Luo family, there are 218 bottles left. Each bottle is 28,000 yuan, and the money has been transferred to you."

Zhao Xinyu was stunned. 28,000 yuan per bottle, this was too... He originally thought vegetables were the most profitable, but now it seemed he was wrong.

With over five million yuan in his account, Zhao Xinyu felt more confident. He called Han Tianliang again and asked him to notify the two families to bring their property documents back to the village.

That afternoon, through the village committee and the land management department, Zhao Xinyu registered the ownership of the two courtyards under his name. When the news spread, the villagers were shocked.

300,000 yuan was enough to buy an apartment in the city, but now these two dilapidated, unoccupied courtyards were sold for 300,000 yuan. They didn't understand why Zhao Xinyu would spend so much money on those two courtyards.

Many people immediately had ideas. They asked Han Tianliang to find Zhao Xinyu and hoped he would buy their properties, even at a lower price.

Zhao Xinyu understood their thoughts, but these areas were far from his, so he didn't consider buying them.

In the following days, the people Du Mengnan brought conducted surveys and planning, and discussed the construction of houses with Zhao Xinyu. After research, they decided to build a workshop with its own courtyard at the northernmost part of the area, while his living area was chosen in the area surrounded by the Luo River.

One day, the construction machinery entered the area, and the two courtyards behind were turned into farmland...

Zhao Xinyu handed everything over to Han Li and the others and left the courtyard alone. He said he was going back to his hometown, and when Han Li and the others came the next morning, Zhao Xinyu had already left.

In the following days, Han Li and the others occasionally wanted to call Zhao Xinyu to ask when he would return, but every time they called, it was out of service.

After several calls with the same result, Han Li and the others were speechless.

In the depths of Cailiang Mountain, at the foot of a remote cliff, there was a simple house hidden in the ancient forest. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it.

With a loud bird call, two golden birds with wings over three meters wide circled and landed in front of the simple house, dropping two wild rabbits, each weighing at least five to six pounds, on the ground.

The next moment, the door creaked open, and a young man about 1.75 meters tall came out, accompanied by a large black dog about 1.5 meters tall.

"Jinhen, Jinfei, bring two more back, these two aren't enough for you to eat."

The two birds let out a low call, and a gust of wind surged as they flapped their wings and soared into the sky. The young man bent down to pick up the two rabbits and turned to enter the forest beside the simple house.

Below the high ground was a stream that flowed continuously. The young man cleaned the rabbits by the stream, and in a large white basin by the stream, there were already five marinated mountain chickens.

Suddenly, wolf howls echoed from the distance. If it were someone else, they might have dropped the rabbits and run back to the simple house for shelter.

But when the young man heard the wolf howls, he looked at the large black dog beside him, "Heifeng, your good friends are coming to see you."

As he spoke, the bushes on the other side of the stream rustled, and over a dozen green wolf heads poked out. Seeing the young man cleaning the rabbits by the stream, their eyes lit up, and their heads suddenly retreated.

The young man looked at the bushes that had stopped rustling and shook his head. He knew he would be busy for the rest of the day.

If Han Li, Du Mengyao, and the others were here, they would immediately recognize the young man as Zhao Xinyu, whom they couldn't reach and who said he was going back to his hometown.

There was nothing left in his hometown. Thinking about the twenty years of hard work for them, but not even a day of happiness, he didn't want to be reminded of them, so he chose Cailiang Mountain.

When he first entered Cailiang Mountain, he only stayed in the outer areas, where he harvested a lot of natural herbs. But after Heifeng recovered, they started to explore the more remote areas.

Then they encountered a wolf pack. Heifeng and the blue wolf king fought several times, and after a few battles, they became friends.

Now, the area where he was staying was the territory of the blue wolf pack. He built the simple house on a high ground by a stream, and with the blue wolf pack, Heifeng, Jinhen, and Jinfei, he didn't worry about being attacked by other large carnivores.

In the past few months, he practiced the Hongmeng Zhenjing every day in his space. After breaking through the first level of the Hongmeng Zhenjing, he finally had internal energy flowing in his body.

The moment he gained internal energy, Zhao Xinyu felt amazed, but he always believed in his grandfather's words and trusted that the ancient martial artists in movies and TV shows were not entirely fictional.

After cultivating internal energy, he thought of the box of ancient books left by his grandfather, which contained acupoints and meridians. When he took them out, he found a letter left by his grandfather under one of the books.

In the letter, his grandfather Zhao Lu had anticipated that he could cultivate internal energy and specially chose the "Five Gods Decision" and "Shadow Following Form" for him to practice. The letter also specifically instructed him not to read anything below until he had mastered both techniques. If he could master them, he could choose any technique he liked and read the things left at the bottom of the box.

The Five Gods Decision was similar to the Five Animals Play created by the ancient physician Hua Tuo, but it imitated the movements of the legendary ancient divine beasts: the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger, the Azure Dragon, the Black Tortoise, and the Qilin. Each divine beast had only nine movements.

Each movement was not something an ordinary person could mimic. Although he had practiced the Hongmeng Zhenjing, it took him a whole week to master the first movement of the Vermilion Bird in the Five Gods Decision.

Every day after practicing, he was exhausted, but after a good night's sleep, he felt lighter and a layer of black impurities appeared on his body.

When he mastered the first movement after nine days of practice, a large amount of purple-black impurities appeared on his body, and his body became even lighter, making it effortless to go up the mountain to find herbs.

Knowing the benefits of the Five Gods Decision, he practiced even more diligently. Each time he mastered a movement, his body would undergo a change, becoming lighter, stronger, or his mind becoming clearer.

After three months, he had mastered all 45 movements of the Five Gods Decision. When he mastered the last movement, what came out of his body was no longer impurities but dark red blood.
