Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

There are many jade trading markets in the dark waters. Ye Yu plans to buy more jade, refine it, and then use it to set up formations.

Jade is also a substance containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although it is not as good as cloud crystal or other similar materials, it is still sufficient to set up formations and deal with ordinary people.

Even if all else fails and there's no money to be had, one can still forge protective items and sell them to wealthy families like the Wang family.

Ye Yu walked into a jade shop, pointed to a piece of jade with a slightly stronger spiritual energy, and asked, "Boss, how much is this piece of jade?"

"One million, a fixed price!"

Although Ye Yu was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, the boss could tell from her figure and voice that she was a woman.

However, he also enthusiastically introduced the jade to Ye Yu, saying, "Look at the color and size of this piece of jade, it's top-notch. You definitely won't regret buying it."

Upon hearing his price, Ye Yu felt a bitter taste in her mouth, thinking, "I've already spent most of the previous million on those medicinal herbs. Now I only have about 200,000 left. Where am I going to come up with another million?"

Thinking of this, Ye Yu could only shake her head in disappointment: "I'll think about it some more."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the store.

While strolling around, Ye Yu found several pieces of jade of good quality, but when she asked about the price, she hesitated again.

Since the cheapest one costs 350,000, where did she get so much money?

Ye Yu felt somewhat helpless. She planned to borrow some money from Zhou Ao and then find a way to pay him back after buying the jade.

As she was making her plans, she saw He Qiuzhi running towards her from a small alley not far away, followed by a group of people.

He Qiuzhi also saw Ye Yu, but only glanced at her before passing by.

The man behind her looked menacing and kept chasing after her, muttering something under his breath.

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow. She wondered how He Qiuzhi had managed to provoke this group of people in such a short time, but it seemed that He Qiuzhi was unwilling to involve her.

Ye Yu, of course, wouldn't meddle in other people's business and continued walking forward.

After visiting several more shops, Ye Yu still couldn't find anything she liked and had to give up.

As Ye Yu was walking towards the meeting point, she sensed that three or four people were following her.

Not wanting to cause trouble, she quickened her pace, trying to shake them off.

Just as I turned the corner, two more shady-looking men blocked my way.

Ye Yu sighed inwardly, "I don't seek trouble, but trouble comes looking for me."

A look of fear crossed his face, and he asked in a trembling voice, "What are you going to do?"

He spoke as he stepped back to the side.

"Hehehe, little girl. All by yourself? You'll find out what we're up to in a minute," one of them said, gesturing with his hands.

Ye Yu didn't say anything more, and turned to run away.

Just as she was speaking, she scanned the area with her divine sense and discovered an abandoned warehouse not far away.

They led the person to the warehouse, and several people surrounded them from behind.

Ye Yu showed no mercy, turning around and throwing several steel balls at the group. The group instantly fell to the ground, the steel balls hitting them right between the eyebrows.

This series of actions took only a few seconds.

Ye Yu clapped her hands: "Come out, no need to hide anymore."

A person emerged from behind a dilapidated door panel; it was He Qiuzhi.

"I didn't expect Miss Ye to be so shrewd; she took these people's lives in the blink of an eye."

As He Qiuzhi spoke, she glanced at the steel beads embedded between the eyebrows of the group, feeling quite shocked, though she didn't show it on her face.

"You flatter me. Didn't Miss He also take care of that group of people?" Ye Yu replied.

Hearing her say that, He Qiuzhi raised her left hand, "I was just lucky."

There was a knife wound on it, deep enough to see the bone.

"Let's leave first, and you should find a pharmacy to get it treated, otherwise you'll be quite conspicuous like this." Ye Yu walked towards the exit.

He Qiuzhi, supporting herself with her left hand, followed behind Ye Yu and walked out of the abandoned warehouse.

After they came out, Ye Yu used her divine sense to detonate the fireball talismans on the corpses, and the corpses instantly turned to ashes.

The two walked in silence to the bustling street. Ye Yu turned to He Qiuzhi and said, "There's still some time before we meet up. You should go and bandage your wounds first, otherwise we'll have to go scrambling for medicinal herbs tomorrow."

After saying that, he lifted his leg to leave first.

"Miss Ye," He Qiuzhi, who had been silent until now, suddenly called out.

“Can you do me a favor? I’ll give you a generous reward,” she continued.

Ye Yu stopped and turned to look at her: "I don't want to cause trouble here."

He Qiuzhi added, "Don't you like jade? I'll give you five pieces of old mine glass-type jadeite and 30 gold bars."

"So generous?" Ye Yu wondered to herself.

She thought for a moment and asked, "What you're about to do isn't simple, is it?"

He Qiuzhi paused for a moment after hearing this, "The group of people who were chasing me just now were from the Leopard Gang. Their leader is my ex-husband. We had a daughter together, but for some reason, we became enemies. However, my daughter Yinyin was still young, and I was also living a nomadic life at the time, so I could only leave her with Hu Hong."

At this point, He Qiuzhi's expression turned cold. "Who knew that Hu Hong married such a slut? She actually abused my daughter in private, making my Yinyin withdrawn. She used to be so lovely and lively."

Ye Yu snorted coldly after hearing this, "I think you're also in the wrong. This place is a mixed bag, with constant fighting between gangs. No man could take care of a child as carefully as a mother."

He Qiuzhi's expression darkened. "Yes, it's my fault. Today I saw that bitch buying things in the store, so I killed her. I originally wanted to torture her to death, but I didn't expect her to bring so many bodyguards just to go shopping."

He spat again: "Pah, she got off easy!"

Ye Yu roughly knew what He Qiuzhi wanted her help with. "So you want me to help you bring your daughter out?"

"Yes! I came here to take Yin Yin away. I'll make my move while everyone's in a mess fighting over the herbs."

"Then why did you still go and steal the medicinal herbs?"

"Of course I have my own purposes," He Qiuzhi said, seemingly unwilling to elaborate.

Ye Yu frowned, "If we go to steal the herbs, will you still have time?"

“That won’t matter. Hu Hong is the most greedy person. He will definitely try to snatch the herbs from other people’s hands and won’t rush home so quickly.” He Qiuzhi said with disdain.

Hearing this, Ye Yu roughly understood the situation. "I need to think about this. I'll give you an answer before I seize the herbs, but don't worry, I won't talk about your affairs."

He Qiuzhi probably guessed that Ye Yu wouldn't agree so quickly, so she nodded and walked towards the nearby pharmacy without saying anything more.

Ye Yu then strolled slowly toward the meeting point.

Before she even reached the car, A-Peng strode over and asked, "Miss Ye, did you run into Miss He while you were shopping?"

Ye Yu pretended not to know, "I didn't see her. Weren't you with her? Did you get lost?"

Apeng was a little annoyed. "The store we went into was quite crowded, and as a result, Ms. He and I got separated. I thought she would come back first."

Seeing him like this, Ye Yu could only sigh deeply.

The old man, Yi Nan, said from inside the car, "Miss He is quite capable; otherwise, she wouldn't have come here with us."

As soon as she finished speaking, He Qiuzhi walked over from not far away, wearing a shawl that covered her injured hand.

A-Peng quickly stepped forward and inquired about He Qiu-Zhi with concern, but was easily dismissed with a few words.

After waiting a while longer, when Feng Jian returned, everyone drove towards their residence.
