Tang Meng was the first person on Ling Yun’s list to reply. Tang Meng was discussing the deal with Manager Zhao from the interior design company when Ling Yun called. He answered the phone immediately.

“Big Brother Yun, you finally switched on your phone! We have been calling you the whole morning...”

Ling Yun chuckled. “I saw your messages. We will follow your proposal. You only need to inform me about the important things in the future. You decide the rest!”

Tang Meng apologized to Manager Zhao and walked to a private corner. “Big Brother Yun, things are alright on my end, but not at Aunt Qin’s end...” Tang Meng dropped his voice.

Ling Yun stopped in his tracks with a shock. “What happened to my mum?”

“Big Brother Yun, don’t worry. Aunt Qin is alright. I just feel that she is in a bad mood and might explode at anyone at any moment... Sigh, forget it, nothing I say can help. I think you should see for yourself. Do be careful though. None of us can help you if you step on a landmine,” Tang Meng said carefully.

Sh*t, it looks like mum is really mad this time. Ling Yun felt a chill run down his spine.

“Big Brother Yun? Big Brother Yun...”

“Alright, I got it. You get on with your work!” Ling Yun hung up the phone.

Go home now? Wouldn’t that be pointing a gun to my head? I am not going home!

Ling Yun pondered for a while before calling Tie Xiaohu. “Where are you?” Ling Yun asked directly when the call connected.

“Big Brother Yun, I am supervising the renovations at the clinic. It is too draining on Sister Rou. I got her to go back and rest.”

Ling Yun nodded his head in satisfaction, and continued with concern. “Where is the house you bought?”

“It is close to our clinic. It is a furnished unit. I have already moved my stuff there,” Tie Xiaohu said.

Tie Xiaohu was very considerate. He bought a house near the clinic for two reasons: he could protect the clinic, and it was only three or four kilometers away from Ling Yun’s Mansion Number One. He would be just a call away if Ling Yun needed his help.

“That’s great. Come over to Mansion Number One tonight when you are done. We will continue making talisman charms tonight,” Ling Yun said.

“I understand, Big Brother Yun!”

Ling Yun called Zhuang Meifeng and Cao Shanshan consecutively to let them know that he was safe. He gave a call to Lingyu after some thought. He didn’t want her to worry about him.

“Big Brother, where are you now? Why was your phone switched off? You left in a hurry last night. Was everything alright?” Ning Lingyu fired her questions away instantly.

Nothing preceded Ling Yun’s safety.

Ling Yun was aware of Lingyu’s anxiety and worry for him. “Lingyu, big brother is fine. I am currently at the clinic for renovations. We are very busy, so I won’t be home for some time,” Ling Yun addressed her concerns one by one while thinking of an excuse to delay returning home.

Ning Lingyu had a totally opposite reaction to Ling Yun’s surprise. “Big Brother, Mum is very angry. She is hiding in her room and refuses to see anyone. You’d better stay away from home for a while,” Lingyu whispered.

Ling Yun didn’t dote on his sister for nothing. She always looked out for him. He quickly asked a question. “Lingyu, do you know why is mum angry?”

“Big Brother, I don’t know what happened to Mum. She woke up at least ten years younger, and that is not an exaggeration... Ten years younger...” Ning Lingyu said with a smile.

“Why should Mum be angry then? She should be happy instead!” Ling Yun laughed.

“Actually, I believe she was elated until Tang Meng brought the interior design company here. Hahaha, Big Brother, you should’ve seen Tang Meng and the company employees’ reactions. They were all gawking at Mum. Tang Meng was stunned for two whole minutes. He is unsure of what to call Mum now. What’s more funny was that the secretary that came with Manager Zhao addressed Mum as ‘younger sister’ even though she is barely twenty-four years old! She implored to Mum to engage their services and she guaranteed the full satisfaction of both of us ‘sisters’. Hahahaha... This is really going to be the death of me...” Ning Lingyu could not help but to burst out laughing.

Ling Yun was left speechless. Was Mum’s transformation really that exaggerated after a night’s work?

Ling Yun had only used a tiny amount of Immortal Spiritual Energy for Qin Qiuyue’s internal cleansing. The rest of the Immortal Spiritual Energy had been channeled to her energy center and was not yet in use.

If she looked only twenty-five years old now, the effects would be unthinkable when Qin Qiuyue fully utilized the Immortal Spiritual Energy.

Any woman would be proud if she looked only twenty-five years old when she was already thirty-six. Furthermore, she was mistaken as being sisters with her own daughter. No wonder Qin Qiuyue was embarrassed.

Ling Yun was excited that his usually calm mother finally showed some signs of shock. Practitioners were all the same. She would have to get used to it first.

It was a fact. The practitioners had it better as they attained higher realms. As the saying went, there were no ugly female practitioners. Their skin didn’t wrinkle as they aged and their bodies stayed in great condition.

“Big Brother, I really don’t know what happened. The transformation didn’t only happen to Mum. I have also...”

Ning Lingyu was about to break the exciting news to Ling Yun that she had also became more beautiful, but she thought that it wasn’t right to praise her own beauty shamelessly.

“Lingyu, let me guess, erm... are you more beautiful now?” Ling Yun finished her sentence for her.

Ning Lingyu blushed shyly and nodded. “Big Brother, did Tang Meng tell you that?”

Ling Yun had seen it happening under his own eyes, but he wasn’t going to tell Lingyu that. He merely chuckled and replied, “Alright, Mum looks younger and Lingyu became more beautiful. This is great news! I think Mum just needs some time to adapt. Didn’t your brother adapt quickly to becoming handsome?”

“Lingyu, I have to trouble you to do some ground work for me lest Mum get angry at me when I am home...”

“Rest assured, Big Brother. I will call you when Mum accepts her new reality,” Lingyu replied.

Ling Yun had reached Mansion Number One while chatting with Lingyu. They ended the call on a good note.

“Hehe, I knew Mum would be angry because of this, though I believe she is just disguising her bashfulness. Her expression now must be priceless!” Ling Yun muttered to himself as he entered the gates of Mansion Number One.

There was a world of difference between the atmosphere in the courtyard and the atmosphere outside because of the Spirit Gathering Formation. The courtyard had an explosive amount of spiritual energy that increased by the second!

“Hehe... this will be enough for me to advance quickly to the Qi Cultivation Stage!” Ling Yun was content with his work. He lifted his gaze and searched for a suitable area to plant spiritual herbs. He satisfied himself with an acre at the southwest corner of the mansion.

“I’ll ask Tie Xiaohu to get someone to tidy the place up and start planting spiritual herbs.”

Ling Yun stood proudly in the courtyard. He felt at home for the first time since he had come to this world, even though it still lacked spiritual energy and space.

“I will get Mum and Lingyu to stay here after a period of time. There is ample spiritual energy to go around. Their speed of cultivation will no doubt increase!”

Ling Yun refilled his spiritual energy that had been consumed by the Stellar Condensation Technique to its optimal level in just a short while. He went into the mansion fully sated.

It was the second day of the Qingming Festival holiday. Ling Yun had to prepare a massive number of talisman charms as he had decided to explore the crater tomorrow night.

At Physique Tempering Stage Level Three, Ling Yun could only create the true Fire Talismans and Healing Talismans using the Emperor Brush. It would be a complete waste of spiritual energy to make the Water Talismans and Deity Talismans since he had the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability.

However, there was one type of talisman charm that Ling Yun had to make — the Spirit Forming Talisman!

The Spirit Forming Talisman was meant to store spiritual energy. Anything could happen in the crater. He needed emergency spiritual energy to face a strong opponent or even to escape. It would be handy to have them on hand if anything were to happen.

The fire talisman was purely an offensive talisman. The healing talismans healed any wounds, and last but not least, the Spirit Forming Talisman stored spiritual energy. Ling Yun wanted to have sufficient insurance to head to the Crater.

Ling Yun could only prepare a large amount of amulet paper now and wait for Tie Xiaohu to arrive at night before making the ink. He would then concentrate on drawing the talismans.

This pot is too small...

Ling Yun had to painstakingly make batches of amulet paper with the small kitchen pot since he didn’t have the furnace tripod on hand.

Ling Yun was drying the amulet paper after three hours of hard work when Tang Meng called at five thirty in the afternoon.

“Big Brother Yun, the fish has finally taken the bait!”
