“What’s so laughable about it?” ChengXiao Xiao lifted her hand and flicked her little forehead with her fingers. Notso happily, she said, “You knew I have only been doing it for three months!What’s the big deal?”
“Ow! Why did you flick me?” LittleYuteng rubbed her forehead and asked again, “Young mistress, would you like asnow ginseng? I can give you one!”
“Nah, I am already progressing fastenough cultivating in here rather than outside. If I use snow ginseng on top ofthat, it’d be like taking off in a shuttle. That’s not necessarily a goodthing!”
“Up to you. Young mistress hurry up andcultivate. Don’t embarra.s.s me!”
“d.a.m.n you!” Cheng Xiao Xiao picked uplittle Yuteng and tossed her up into the crystal fruit tree before she sat downcrossed legs, prepared to start cultivating.
“OH, Oh, Oh!!” Little Yuteng did severalsomersaults in midair to stabilize her small body before she flew back towardCheng Xiao Xiao shouting, “Young mistress, wait!!”
“What now?” Cheng Xiao Xiao opened hereyes and asked.
“Young mistress, you have been toooverly occupied by stuff that has been going on around the house lately. Whenwill you have time to look for new items to upgrade the dimension. Look around,we have been at level 25 for a long time. There are simply too much limits. Wehave many more mouths to feed now. Even though food is not an issue, we stillneed to inventory to convert to money. Otherwise, we won’t have enough moneyfor the construction of the house!”
When little Yuteng brought it up, ChengXiao Xiao realized she had been overlooking this issue for too long.
Surely, food planted in the dimensionand mystical animals all grow faster than the outside world. If all they needwas to feed all the mouths, that would be enough. But if they want to accruelarge quantify of food and mystical animals for sale, they were a bit short ofthat. Right now the family needed lots of money. She would need to figuresomething out.
“Yuteng. With the exception of lookingfor new species in the mountains, what else can make the dimension level up?
“Lots of things! Any rare plants oranimals, or any mystical stones will work!”
“Ugh, you made it sounds so easy. All ofthese items are hard to come by!”
“Hehe, young mistress. Just leak thewords out so those who wanted to buy our mystical animals can look for you. Noneed to go look for them yourselves.”
“I have thought about this before aswell, but I don’t think very many people will possess these items. But you areright, if we get the words out, we might get some hits. Then we can collect theones of use to us into the dimension. We’ve got to upgrade the dimension!”
“Yeah, the level is way too low!Look, young mistress, our crystal fruittree has yet to blossom. I think this is because the dimension’s level is toolow; otherwise, it should have bloomed already!”
“Okay, when I meet up with Innkeeper Zhutomorrow, I will let them know to look for these items for us!”
“Young mistress, don’t you worry. Eventhough these are rare items, that doesn’t mean n.o.body will have them. Once thewords got it, no matter how rare the items are, somebody will find it!”
“Let’s give it a try!”
“Yes, let’s give it a try!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao got much happier aftertheir chat. After calming down, she started cultivating. Little Yuteng fly backonto the crystal fruit tree. Reaching out her arm she picked a leave from thetree and started munching on it like it was some kind of delicacy.
Shortly after breakfast the next day,Liu Danhuang brought a few visitors to the Cheng’s. A few of them the Cheng’swere already familiar with. The other one was a cla.s.sy,middle-age man in a brocaderobe that the Cheng’s had never met before.
“Grettings, master Cheng, I am Zhu Bo ofthe Green Mountain Manor!” Zhu Bo cupped his hands at Cheng Biyuan and greetedhim respectfully.

Note:
1.Just a quick noteabout everyone’s last names. I translated the village name into Willow becausethe last name “Liu” means willow, which was why all the villagers has the samelast name of Liu. In the case of Innkeeper Zhu and Zhu Bo, the young lord, theirlast names in the originally language were not the same. They merely have thesame pinying (spelling based onp.r.o.nunciation). The two were not related. Innkeeper Zhu was merely an employeeof Zhu Bo.
