  Yutong City is the stronghold of the Yu family in Southern Shu, and also a famous jade city on the mainland. Located in southern Southern Shu, this place is rich in jade mines, agate, and other precious stones. The Yu family has risen to prominence thanks to these resources, with a history of nearly a thousand years on the mainland. The Yu family is one of the nine great families of the mainland, but it is also the most special one. It is not simply a royal family like the Liu family, nor a military and political family like the Qin family, nor a martial arts or business-oriented family like the other eight great families. Instead, the Yu family has developed in a balanced way in terms of politics, commerce, and martial arts. At the same time, it is also one of the nine great families with the fewest enemies and the best reputation. The entire province of Nantong, including Yutong City, belongs to the Yu family.

  Yang Tianwen's horse-drawn carriage finally arrived after nearly three months of travel. In the past three months, Xiaobie had woken up from her coma half a month ago and had been recovering normally for two and a half months under Yang Tianwen's constant persuasion. Although she still felt sad about her grandfather's departure, she was young and hadn't suffered any irreparable damage to her mind. However, her optimistic personality had changed somewhat, which worried Yang Tianwen and others for a long time. Fortunately, Shuixianlan was by their side to comfort them. Women are always easier to talk to each other, and in this regard, Yang Tianwen was glad he brought Shuixianlan along.

  "Ah~~ Finally arrived." Yu Qinghong jumped off the horse carriage and shouted loudly.

  The pedestrians around Yutong City seemed not to find his emotions strange at all, they just glanced up at Yu Qinghong with a look of normalcy.

  Yang Tian asked the second jump down from the carriage, noticed this phenomenon, familiar with Yu Qinghong's personality, Yang Tian asked for the first time thought of a certain answer, and couldn't help but almost laugh out loud.

  The leader of the soldiers guarding the gate hurried over as soon as he saw Yu Qinghong, and respectfully greeted him: "Hey! Second Master is back, I heard you went out to gain experience, how come you're back so quickly?"

  "This old man wants to come back and just come back, don't talk nonsense. Where's my old dad?" The tone was very casual, sounding more than familiar.

  "Master Jade should..." The words had barely left his lips.

  A voice came over: "Hong Er ~~" No, listening to this voice is the master of the Jade family, Yu Qinghong's old father, Yu Hengshan. The gatekeeper slipped away very sensibly.

  Yu Hengshan walked over with a few members of the Yu family, and from afar, he bowed his fist in greeting to Yang Tianwen, saying: "Young Master Yang has come from afar as our guest, we truly welcome you. Please, we have already prepared wine and dishes at home to entertain you all." Without needing to ask, the two women inside the carriage were discovered by Yu Hengshan.

  …………..

  The carriage stopped in front of a grand ancient mansion with some historical background, and the words "Yu Fu" were hung high above the gate. In front of the gate stood two intricately carved jade lions, which were priceless treasures, and it was unknown how much they could be sold for. They were simply placed at the entrance, although they were a bit heavy, but if someone really wanted to steal them, it would still be very easy.

  The old house has a good history, but it is very solid and does not look old at all.

  Yu Hengshan warmly welcomed Yang Tianwen and his entourage into the living room, which was similar to an ordinary house. After entering the gate, they walked through a large courtyard, climbed several steps, and arrived at the grand hall for receiving guests. The interior decoration of the hall was also very elegant, with jade utensils visible everywhere, each one exquisitely crafted and extremely valuable.

  Even Shui Xianlan, who was used to seeing treasures, couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Is this really the style of a noble family? Indeed, wealth can rival that of a country! On the other hand, Bi'er, who was holding Xiao Bai, was very calm and composed about all this, it's unknown whether she was used to it or simply didn't care about these things.

  Yang Tianwen didn't notice the reactions of the two women, but instead focused his gaze on these jade artifacts, thinking that if he refined them, he believed they could be made into several powerful talismans. However, Yang Tianwen knew his own affairs and said that the fire mouth for refining treasures was still far from enough, and he needed to practice more and push forward with experimentation.

  The raw materials, the most important thing is still the raw materials. A good cook can't make a meal without rice, but now it's different. The Yu family is in control of the mainland jade market, and there are many jades here. Although they are all ordinary jades, I have the Heart Fire Pill. If I melt several thousand tons of ordinary jade, it's possible to refine them into sacred jade directly! At worst, it's also possible to refine them into spiritual jade, and the quality won't be much different. However, several thousand tons of ordinary jade... what a pity!

  The time passed quickly as they chatted idly, and Yang Tianwen also moved into the east wing of the Yu family's residence under Yu Qinghong's guidance. The east and west wings were naturally located on either side of the mansion, far apart from each other, and were the top-grade guest rooms of the Yu family. Except for some secrets in the Yu family's private quarters, the furnishings and decorations were no different from those in the south wing where the Yu family members lived, and were even more luxurious.

  One person, one room, and there are still many empty ones. According to Yu Qinghong's words, you can live in this room today and that room tomorrow. You can choose which room to live in, no problem, anyway, the rooms here are all empty.

  Here is the translation:

  Naturally, this wine toasting was indispensable. Anyway, it was a joy for both host and guest, and Yang Tianwen understood that he was there to be a bodyguard. However, this small favor of helping a friend was something Yang Tianwen would not hesitate to do. Nevertheless, the reward was still necessary. The day before, he had asked Yuheng Mountain for some jade stones, and the next day, over 100 kilograms of raw jade ore were delivered to him. Although it was unrefined and unpolished, without any carving or engraving, it was indeed genuine jade. In this mundane world, spiritual energy was much denser than on Earth, but still relatively weak. Yang Tianwen had been wandering around for years and had never seen anything like this before. For now, it seemed that this jade would be his only tool for practice.

  This hundred or so kilograms of jade ore can only be refined into about ten kilograms of slightly better quality ordinary jade. The jade flying knife in Yang Tianwen's hand may be able to dominate the mortal world, but if taken to the Cultivation Realm, it would probably not even meet the standards in terms of quality. Even with considerable power, it would still be an inferior product. Although Yang Tianwen didn't have a deep understanding of this concept, he knew it in his heart. After all, the records on the "Danqi Secret Decipher" were not false. Without quality, there is only quantity to make up for it. The good thing is that with the existence of the Dan Xintian Fire's extraordinary flame, quantity can be transformed into quality.
