All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

"Yongcheng is back." Zhou Yonghui greeted Zhou Yongcheng and handed him a pack of cigarettes.

"When did Brother Hui get back?" Zhou Yongcheng asked without ceremony, taking the cigarette from him.

Zhou Yonghui is the son of Zhou Guoquan's family in the village. He is the oldest among his generation in the village, in his thirties.

Zhou Yonghui was very particular about his appearance, dressed very fashionably, with shiny slicked-back hair and a faint scent of perfume.

Zhou Yongcheng learned from his brothers that Zhou Yonghui was doing quite well in Lingnan, that he was a manager on a construction site, that he smoked cigarettes every year when he came back, and that he drove a BMW 5 Series.

Although he was doing well, Zhou Yongcheng heard that he had dumped his wife who had shared his hardships, and found a beautiful woman from another place.

This is what people often refer to as "cutting off one's sweetheart before getting ashore."

"I just got back a couple of days ago."

The two chatted about everyday things. Zhou Yongcheng didn't particularly like Zhou Yonghui, as his family wasn't well-regarded in the village.

Furthermore, Zhou Yonghui's act of cutting off his sweetheart before leaving the country disgusted Zhou Yongcheng.

I've met Zhou Yonghui's wife, Zhou Yongcheng, a few times. She's not exactly beautiful, but she's very hardworking and kind. I heard that the couple worked together on construction sites for many years.

The woman who had endured so much hardship with him for so many years abandoned him just like that, and his wife had even given birth to a daughter and a son for him. The daughter was already around ten years old, and the son was also about ten years old.

After the two chatted for a while, someone Zhou Yongcheng didn't recognize approached him.

"Hello, are you Mr. Zhou, the owner of the fishpond?"

"Yes, my name is Zhou Yongcheng. What can I do for you?"

"Here's the thing, I bought a fish from a fisherman before, and it tasted really good, so I thought I'd like to see if I could buy two more. Your uncle told me that the fish in the fishpond aren't for sale, you can only catch them. I've come here a few times, but I haven't met you yet. I finally met you today. Could you sell us two fish? It's almost Chinese New Year, and we want to buy two to take home for the holidays."

The speaker spoke Mandarin, and his accent sounded a bit like someone from a neighboring province. In Wuling Province, most business people are from out of town.

Zhou Yongcheng checked the time; there weren't many days left until the Chinese New Year.

When are you planning to go home for the Chinese New Year?

"No later than the 26th of the twelfth lunar month."

"Let me state first that the fish caught by anglers are 500 yuan per catty, but if we sell them ourselves, it will be more expensive, 1,000 yuan per catty. Each person is limited to two fish, and the weight of the two fish cannot exceed 60 catties. The same applies to one fish."

The boss had eaten fish from Zhou Yongcheng's fishpond, so of course he knew the value of the fish. Even if it cost a thousand yuan per kilogram, it was still worth more than its price.

"No problem, I don't know when we'll start catching fish."

Zhou Yongcheng thought for a moment and said, "From the 20th to the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, we will stop selling them."

People in the neighborhood who wanted to buy fish were overjoyed to hear this, finally able to buy fish.

The others were quite shocked when they heard this. They had previously heard that the fish from this pond were selling for 500 yuan per kilogram, which was already shocking enough. Now, they were selling for 1,000 yuan per kilogram. They exclaimed, "Wow, this is beyond our comprehension!"

The fishmongers who wanted to buy fish drove away, leaving only the villagers who were watching the spectacle and the fishermen fishing in the pond.

In the evening, Zhou Yongcheng and his second uncle's family sat by the fire at home chatting.

A man entered through the door; it was Zhou Guoqiao.

"Uncle, when did you get back?" Zhou Yongcheng invited Zhou Guoqiao to sit down and offered him a cigarette. Zhou Yaya got up to pour water.

"I'm here one day later than Yonghui. I have something to discuss with you."

Zhou Guoqiao and Zhou Guohua are brothers. Zhou Guoqiao has been processing marble in Fujian Province for many years and is said to be worth millions, but I don't know if that's true.

"You say."

"Here's the thing, I've been living in another province for years and rarely come home. I don't own a house, and I don't have a good place to build one. My mother lives in the old house, and it's not big enough. I'm thinking of building the house outside your house, since that's your place. I've come to discuss that with you."

The area outside Zhou Yongcheng's house belongs to Zhou Yongcheng's family, and it is indeed a good place to build a house.

"Uncle, are you planning to buy or replace it?" Zhou Yongcheng asked.

“I’m open to it. I’m willing to exchange it or buy it.” Zhou Guoqiao was also very straightforward.

Zhou Yongcheng thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle, where are all your land located?"

He didn't really know which family's land was where in the village; he only knew where his family's land was.

"There's not much land here in the village; it's basically all across the river."

Zhou Yongcheng nodded, "Then let's exchange it for land across the river."

Second Uncle knew how big the land across the river from Zhou Guoqiao's house was. After discussion, Zhou Yongcheng exchanged the land outside his house for the land across the river from Zhou Guoqiao's house. He just needs to go to the village committee to get a certificate tomorrow.

After getting things done, they chatted about everyday things.

I learned from the conversation that Zhou Guoqiao no longer plans to work in southern Fujian. The stone industry is too competitive, and small businesses like theirs can't compete with the capitalists. Many people have already left the stone industry and started other businesses.

Zhou Guoqiao felt he was getting old and didn't want to work hard outside anymore, so he wanted to come back and do some farming to spend the rest of his life.

Not long after they started chatting, Zhou Yongcheng's phone rang. It was Zhou Guohua calling, asking him to come up and play cards, saying he was one player short.

So Zhou Yongcheng and Zhou Guoqiao went out, followed by two tails, Zhou Yaya and Zhou Yongming.

After playing cards until 11 p.m. and having a late-night snack, Zhou Yongcheng returned home.

In the dead of night, Zhou Yongcheng came to the sky above the fishpond, fed the fish some grass, and then began to cultivate in the unknown world.

The next day, Zhou Yongcheng drove to Dashitou Group in their village with a box of milk and went to Zhou Xiaoyong's house.

"Brother, what do you mean by this?" Zhou Xiaoyong said, somewhat displeased.

"It's not for you to drink, it's for my nephew."

Zhou Xiaoyong took the milk and led Zhou Yongcheng inside to warm himself by the fire.

Zhou Xiaoyong's wife poured Zhou Yongcheng a cup of tea. Zhou Yongcheng glanced at it and said, "Your wife looks somewhat familiar."

Zhou Xiaoyong laughed and said, "Our classmate in the first year of junior high, Yang Ping, was assigned to a different class in the second year."

"I was wondering why it looked so familiar, I really didn't expect it."

"There are many things you haven't thought of. Do you still remember Zhu Yuanqian?"

“I remember. What, who is he with this time?”

"He got together with that Zhang Linwei."

"I really didn't expect that."

The three sat around the stove and chatted about the past. At the same time, Zhou Yongcheng learned a lot of things from them that he didn't know before.

After lunch, Zhou Yongcheng returned home. He was quite busy for the next few days, dealing with various matters, and in the evenings he would enter the unknown world to cultivate.

On this day, in an unknown world, Zhou Yongcheng successfully broke through to the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation realm.

Upon reaching the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation realm, in addition to accumulating magical power through cultivation, one must open the Purple Mansion to cultivate the Primordial Spirit at the mid-stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation. Once the Primordial Spirit is cultivated, one can cultivate various supernatural abilities and techniques, which are extremely powerful. Without opening the Purple Mansion and cultivating the Primordial Spirit, one cannot cultivate supernatural abilities and techniques.

After cultivating for a long time and stabilizing his realm, Zhou Yongcheng left the space.
