Chapter 5: Wealth Has Arrived

Once these words were spoken, not only was Yang Lin stunned, but even the assistant displayed a look of envy—this was equivalent to over eight taels of silver, which was comparable to the annual income of many people in the town

Yang Lin exclaimed, "Brother, I can't eat this much"

As the essence derived from the food increased, Yang Yun's body had already saturated its meridians with absorption. Thus, he stopped and instructed the astonished attendant to begin packing. There were too many dishes; even after a hearty meal, Yang Yun had more than half remaining, with many dishes still untouched.

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Each plant yields eighty wen."

Yang Yun feigned surprise and said, "I see, it seems my luck is quite good, as I happened to encounter the grand display of the moonlight; otherwise, I would surely have returned empty-handed"

Without further ado, Yang Yun simply inquired about the price and had the vendor wrap everything up.

The two individuals were too preoccupied to speak, picking up their chopsticks and devouring their food vigorously. In the end, Yang Lin could no longer bear it, clutching her stomach and lying on the table moaning, while Yang Yun, on the other hand, grew more and more vigorous, attacking from both sides, with empty bowls and plates piled up like small mountains.

The old man shook his head again, "The grand spectacle of moonlight is something that can be encountered but not sought after. Generally, it occurs only once every ten or so years, with a night of the full moon and the gathering of books being considered a grand spectacle of moonlight; otherwise, this moonlight grass would not be remarkable. Only the Shuiqiu tribe in the deep mountains of the State of Yue can identify this moonlight grass through a secret method in ordinary times. Therefore, this herb has always been regarded as a specialty of the State of Yue. In my youth, I spent time at a branch of the Huichun Hall in the State of Yue and witnessed this herb."

Indeed, last night was the fifteenth day of the month, and the moonlight was exceptionally bright

In Yang Lin's anticipation, a well-dressed elder returned accompanied by a companion after a short while

"This time, everyone in the family has a gift," Yang Yunhao said proudly

The old man clapped his hands and said, "Exactly!"

Amidst the congratulations of the crowd, Yang Yun secretly calculated, "With the old man's words, my troubles have been alleviated. However, I can no longer gather the moonlight grass in the future. This is not a concern, as the profits from this venture have already exceeded my expectations. This time, at least, I have enough to attend the county school."

Yang Yun deliberately asked, "The two countries of Wu and Yue are connected by mountains and rivers, how could it be that only the State of Yue produces such grass? My brother and I walked over a mountain last night and collected these; there must be more in other places."

The packed meals were first placed at the restaurant m. hetushu. comcom, and Yang Yun began shopping in the market with her younger sister

"Can one really achieve accuracy in matters of dreams? I am now a standard mortal, my family is so poor that we cannot even afford meat. Eight taels of silver would take our family several years to earn. It is normal for me to be happy; it is abnormal not to be happy."

Yang Lin followed Yang Yun into the entrance of Tao Ran Ju as if in a dream

With silver tucked in his bosom and copper coins concealed in his sleeves, as Yang Yun stepped out of the Huichuntang, he felt like a newly rich upstart

"Brother, we have struck it rich!" Yang Lin exclaimed excitedly, jumping up and down.

The waiter approached enthusiastically, and Yang Yun found a clean table by the window. Looking at the menu presented by the waiter, he ordered a variety of dishes one by one.

At this moment, the old man took out a golden needle, pierced it into the root of the moonlight grass, then placed the needle tip on his tongue and licked it, a smile appearing on his face

"Come on, brother will take you to eat something delicious." Yang Yun waved his hand and led Yang Lin straight to the largest restaurant in town, "Taoranju"

Upon receiving the money, everyone who heard the news came with envy. However, it is said that such opportunities arise only once every ten years, and no one intends to try it like www.hetushu.com. They merely envy Yang Yun's good fortune

Yang Yun felt a secret joy; this old man was indeed perceptive. With his words, it was likely that everyone would believe I was fortunate enough to encounter the grand night of the Moonlight Festival. Otherwise, if others knew that I could easily find Moonlight Grass, wouldn't I be overwhelmed by their incessant inquiries?

Seeing that it was getting late, Ergui's car could not carry both the items and the people on the return trip. Moreover, Yang Yun could not stand the smell of the leftover food. Therefore, they hired a vehicle to pick up the food from the restaurant and happily made their way home.

Warm currents flowed from the body's meridians, gradually infusing into the depths of Yang Yun's lungs. The vital energy that Yang Yun had previously lost was slowly replenished. He felt a sense of satisfaction emanating from deep within his body, experiencing a complete sense of comfort and abundant energy throughout.

The family is truly impoverished, lacking many essential items. The clothing of the parents and the elder brother is tattered. Yang Yun and the other person strolled around, purchasing a large number of items. In the end, both of them were laden with packages, and when they could carry no more, they even hired a porter to follow behind them.

The elderly man in splendid attire took out a moonlight herb, carefully shaking off the soil from its roots, and examined it closely

"Brother, let's not get the picture book; I've already bought quite a few things." Yang Lin looked regretfully at the few sparkling hairpins and bracelets, noting that San Ge indeed had a good eye, as everything was very beautiful. However, Yang Lin was quite poor and couldn't bear to buy such items. Her only adornments were some hair ties and artificial flowers.

After counting, there are a total of 109 Moonlight Grasses. Due to some being slightly damaged, in the end, Yang Yun received 8 taels and 5 mace of silver, along with 120 cash coins

Yang Yun nodded to himself, it seems that this person has an eye for quality

It doesn't matter, these are to be taken back so that my parents and elder brother can also enjoy some good food, as our family has suffered too much in the past

However, Yang Yun understood that the process of replenishing the body's vital energy cannot be rushed; it must be carried out gradually over time. Otherwise, it can easily lead to damage. As the saying goes, one cannot benefit from supplementation when in a state of deficiency. Given the poor condition of the body in the past, careful nurturing is essential.

The elderly man in splendid attire shook his head and smiled, "Young man, you are unaware of this. Moonlight grass, as the name suggests, can only be distinguished from ordinary weeds under the moonlight, and not just any moonlight will do; it must be during a time of abundant moonlight."

In the past, when I had no money, I would be very careful about what I ate on https://m.hetushu.com, but in reality, I have a large appetite

If Yang Yun's reaction was merely one of joy, then Yang Lin was so elated that she seemed to float while walking

The companion beside him asked, "Master, how should we harvest this moonlight grass?"

Yang Yun began to mock himself, realizing that in his dreams he was a celestial master, yet he was so excited over a mere eight taels of silver, which was truly beneath his dignity. However, this thought was quickly cast aside.

I can't eat anymore, I'm completely full. Third Brother, how can you eat so much? I never noticed it before.

Little sister—these pieces of jewelry are quite nice, take a look

At this time, it was still early in the day, and there were not many customers in the restaurant. The dishes were served very quickly, as several waitstaff brought various dishes to the table in a continuous stream. The table was filled with large fish and meat, making Yang Lin's eyes dazzle.

Yang Yun chuckled softly and said, "Actually, it is because I have reversed the Silent Sun Transformation Technique, which has increased the speed of absorbing food and converting it into essence by dozens of times, that I can eat so much. However, this technique cannot be taught to my younger sister; if the little girl practices it and becomes a glutton, that would be problematic. In fact, the Moonlight Sutra is quite suitable for her, but I am unsure if my sister's comprehension is sufficient."

Indeed, it is moonlight grass. I did not expect to see it in this place. I thought this kind of grass only grew in the State of Yue.
