Returning to the Temple.
It was already noon.
As Hayato just walked into the main hall, he saw a pair of resentful eyes.
Takayanagi Yukiho looked at Hayato with a resentful gaze. This guy asked her to cook yesterday, but he didn't come back all night.
She waited for most of the night before falling asleep and didn't sleep well all night.
No matter how she thought about it, this matter was because of the guy in front of her.
"Master, where did Hayato go last night?"
Looking at Takayanagi Yukiho, who seemed as resentful as a young wife left alone in the bridal chamber after marriage.
Although Hayato knew it was his problem, he had no intention of explaining.
He just said lightly.
"I encountered a little trouble while purifying Evil Spirits."
As expected, upon hearing this, Takayanagi Yukiho, who had been feeling a bit resentful, immediately showed a look of concern and nervousness.
"Master, is Hayato alright?"
"It's nothing serious."
Hayato thought of the absurd indulgence of last night. Apart from his kidneys being a bit sore, he had just consumed some energy.
What could happen to him?
Seeing that he was truly fine, Takayanagi Yukiho felt relieved.
The thought of being angry also disappeared.
Although it made her waste energy making a rich meal for nothing.
And she waited all night for nothing, without receiving a word of praise from Hayato.
However, as long as he was alright, that was enough.
"Master must be hungry, I'll cook!"
Looking at Takayanagi Yukiho running into the backyard, Hayato opened his mouth, wanting very much to tell her that he had just eaten.
However, after thinking about it, he decided not to interrupt the Woman's enthusiasm.
After all, she had been looking forward to it all night. If he refused, it would seem a bit too much.
Although he himself wasn't very hungry and couldn't eat much.
But he still had a few gourmands with him.
Anyway, it wouldn't be wasted.
"Speaking of which, I wonder how the back mountain is."
Hayato suddenly thought that ever since he put the lingsui treasure jade into the spring in the back mountain, he seemed to have not gone to see the back mountain.
After so many days, he didn't know what the back mountain had become.
With the transformation by the lingsui treasure jade, there should be some changes, right?
Thinking of this, Hayato walked towards the back mountain.
He arrived at the mountain spring where the lingsui treasure jade was placed.
The spring eye, emitting a spiritual glow, continuously gushed out spring water.
Around the spring eye, a faint layer of water mist surrounded it. Just getting close to the water mist, Hayato had the illusion that all the pores on his body were breathing.
Standing in the water mist, he took a light breath.
The water mist instantly integrated into his body.
Hayato felt the magic power in his body suddenly increase by a trace.
Although it was just a trace, it was still astonishing enough.
After all, he had done nothing just now, just simply took a breath.
"What rich spiritual energy."
Hayato's eyes showed surprise. He never expected that in just a few days, such rich spiritual energy had gathered around the lingsui treasure jade.
If the spiritual energy concentration in ordinary places was one, then the spiritual energy concentration in this area reached at least ten or more.
It had almost reached the level of qualitative change.
Cultivating magic power in such a place for one day was equivalent to ten days in an ordinary place.
However, looking at the faint water mist around the lingsui treasure jade.
Hayato estimated that he would absorb all this spiritual energy in at most two hours of cultivation.
Therefore, if he wanted to maintain this cultivation speed, unless he could strengthen the lingsui treasure jade again.
Or, find a way to increase the spiritual energy concentration in the surroundings.
The lingsui treasure jade can enlighten spiritual veins and turn decay into magic.
An ordinary mountain spring can become a spiritual spring. If the back mountain is transformed into a blessed land with rich spiritual energy.
Wouldn't the effect be even more heaven-defying.
However, there's no need to rush for now.
Coming from the spiritual spring to the back mountain, Hayato couldn't help but raise his eyebrows looking at the completely new mountain forest.
The Yakushi Mountain in his memory, although the trees were towering, was just an ordinary mountain forest.
However, after being briefly nourished by the spiritual spring for the past few days, the flowers and plants in the entire back mountain were like they had been injected with hormones.
Looking at a towering tree in the distance that was barely huggable by two people and was at least thirty meters high.
If he remembered correctly, when he came here a few days ago, this was just a tree less than twenty meters tall.
How did it suddenly double in size in the blink of an eye?
With a glance, Hayato found that all the trees on Yakushi Mountain had doubled in size, and there were even many trees he had never seen before.
In addition, there were various flowers and plants, and Hayato even found a Ganoderma lucidum under a tree.
How did he not remember that there were such things on the mountain?
Hayato was wondering when he suddenly saw a flock of birds flying from the sky. They were just passing by, but when they passed over Yakushi Mountain, they suddenly seemed to be attracted by something.
The flock of birds directly changed direction and flew towards Yakushi Temple.
Startling a flock of flying birds.
So, the seeds of these flowers, plants, and trees were actually brought inadvertently by these external birds, beasts, and insects.
Coupled with Yakushi Mountain being nourished by the spiritual spring, the survival rate of seeds after landing was extremely high.
They germinated and grew in just a few days.
Therefore, so many things he had never seen before suddenly appeared.
White mist filled the air, and the scenery on the mountain could be described as a hundred flowers blooming in competition.
"It's enough to be a scenic spot."
Hayato muttered softly. The flowers and plants nourished by the spiritual spring emitted spiritual energy that ordinary plants didn't have.
The same things looked more vibrant and colorful.
If this were opened as a scenic spot, the ticket money would probably be too much to handle.
Looking at the pile of matsutake mushrooms he had just dug up, Hayato felt it was better to forget about it.
As the spiritual spring nourishes it, the spiritual energy of Yakushi Mountain will become increasingly abundant.
At that time, let alone Ganoderma lucidum.
It is estimated that even hundred-year-old wild ginseng can grow.
In such fertile soil, scattering a handful of ginseng seeds would probably result in medicinal effects ten times stronger than ordinary wild mountain ginseng.
It was simply a treasure mountain that could continuously generate wealth for him.
He would be out of his mind to let people come in and ruin this place.
"Tonight's dinner is settled."
Hayato looked at the pile of matsutake mushrooms in his hand.
He just casually wandered around and unexpectedly found a pile of mushrooms under a few trees.
This thing is extremely expensive in Japan. Even ordinary quality costs at least tens of thousands of yens per kilogram.
But on Yakushi Mountain, it was almost everywhere, not to mention all over the ground.
And they were all of top quality.
"You can really get rich by selling mushrooms."
At the same time.
Inside the Morita ancestral home.
"Father, do we really have to sell these shares to her?"
Morita Jiro looked at his aging Father, thinking of the conversation they just had, and frowned slightly, feeling a bit puzzled.
"Sell it to her?"
Morita Fumita looked as if he had heard something funny, and a disgusted smile appeared on his face.
"These assets are all the property of the Morita. Why should they be given to an outside Woman."
"I didn't expect that good-for-nothing Morita Kenji to find such a beautiful wife. It really makes a Father feel jealous."
Hearing this, Morita Jiro's mind flashed with Morita Mie's plump figure and perfect appearance, and his heart couldn't help but stir.
"Does Father mean to bring her back?"
"Since Morita Kenji is dead, as his Father and brother, isn't it our duty as family to take care of his beloved wife?"
Morita Fumita smiled slightly, then suddenly trembled all over.
