A few hours later, at eight o'clock, Fu Yayun woke up and looked at the dozen gold and platinum bricks, along with other precious metals, still piled by the bedside. She immediately pinched Guo Haiqian, who was sleeping beside her, and said in surprise,
"Husband, I'm not dreaming, it's real!
I thought what happened last night was me having a beautiful dream in broad daylight. I didn't expect it to be true. What on earth did your mom do in her past life?
Was she a sect leader or some Grand Elder!
Oh my god, I would never have imagined that your family could have such fortune, and that marrying you would bring such blessings.
No, no, I'm too excited..."
Guo Haiqian, who had just been woken up by a pinch, was still a little groggy when he heard his wife constantly muttering.
Then, before he could even speak,
A basin of ice water was suddenly poured over him.
Good heavens, it was a jolt, a real wake-up call. Not only did Fu Yayun, who was about to cast a spell, calm down instantly, but Guo Haiqian also sobered up immediately.
The two of them quickly used a few more spells to dry themselves off. Then, refreshed, they looked at each other for a moment before each picking up a gold brick and discussing.
"Husband, we're so rich now, do we still need to keep working? Just one of these gold bricks is enough for us to eat, drink, and live for decades, right? I feel like I have no motivation to strive for anything anymore, I just want to be a lazy fish and lie flat."
"Wife, I feel the same way. However, it probably won't work. Didn't Mom say we have to be low-key? If no one in the family is working and our daily life is still incredibly good, then that's not exactly low-key, is it?"
"That's true. But how long will we have to continue living like this? You know, our current age is the golden age for cultivation. It was understandable before when we had to earn money to support the family and could only work hard and earn money.
But now that we have money, we have to pretend to work hard.
Think about how much cultivation time we're wasting."
"That's true. If we don't seize this time to cultivate now, and wait until we're older, our speed will only get slower. Why don't we transfer positions? See if the company has any easier and more leisurely jobs.
Even if the salary is lower, it doesn't matter.
Then we can spend more time slacking off and cultivating."
"Even then, our cultivation speed won't improve that much. And it would be too strange to specifically apply to be transferred from a high-paying job to a low-paying one. In my opinion, why not go all the way? Just resign.
After resigning, we can tell everyone that we found a high-paying job in another city, and then the two of us will move there together. Everyone knows each other around here, but if we go to a place where no one knows us, no one can say anything even if we don't work, let alone question us.
If all else fails, we can say we're working as freelancers.
After a few years away, we can say we started a business outside and have now succeeded. We just need to manage the company remotely through video calls every day. Oh my goodness, this idea is perfect! Husband, I think this plan of mine is flawless. How about we do this?"
"If we move far away, won't we lose Mom's close guidance? But correspondingly, we'll have more time to cultivate. It seems that for cultivation, it's still a matter of more advantages than disadvantages.
I think it's good. Then let's discuss it with Mom and Dad later. If there are no problems, we'll resign today?"
"En!"
After discussing for a while, the young couple unanimously agreed that this idea was good. After all, their so-called low-key behavior was only among neighbors, relatives, and friends.
If anyone were to conduct an in-depth investigation into their family, this kind of low-key pretense would be useless.
Therefore, this painstaking cover-up was enough.
At least it was enough to fool the neighbors, relatives, and friends.
As for the young couple's proposal, Ding Yun and her husband had no objections. The only point of contention was whether their grandson, Guo Yuntao, would move with the young couple or stay with the elder couple.
Guo Haiqian didn't want to bring his son along. He wanted to spend a few years of blissful, private married life with his wife.
However, Guo Jing felt that there were a lot of rumors about his grandson outside lately, such as failing to break through after consuming a fake Foundation Establishment pill and regressing in cultivation. Although most people were discussing it with pity rather than mockery, being constantly talked about, and even pitied, was still very unpleasant.
It made Guo Yuntao quite reluctant to go out these days, only staying at home to cultivate diligently or refine pills.
The frequent explosions of his alchemy furnaces were almost giving Guo Jing a heart attack.
So, he really hoped that his son and daughter-in-law would take Guo Yuntao with them to another city, at least to help him relax and recuperate, which would be better than him staying home all the time.
Ding Yun also followed her husband's lead and expressed her agreement.
In the end, the two couples jointly decided to send Guo Yuntao to school, investing a huge sum to send him to the best alchemy education academy in the country for training.
It wasn't good for him to be out of school at such a young age. Since he had to learn alchemy at home anyway, it was better to send him for formal, contemporary alchemy education.
He could learn both ancient and modern methods.
This would also improve his alchemy skills.
After this discussion, the Ding Yun family seemed to fall apart instantly. Guo Haiqian and Fu Yayun resigned that very day and, with the things Ding Yun had given them, embarked on a cultivation journey across the country.
Guo Yuntao, on the other hand, was sent to the city where the alchemy education academy was located in advance to experience life there first.
He would start school directly when the new term began.
Suddenly, only Ding Yun and Guo Jing, the elderly couple, were left at home. Guo Jing, following his old routine, would go out for a stroll when he had nothing to do, and then return home to cultivate.
Ding Yun was similar to him, also going out for walks when she had nothing else to do.
However, Ding Yun didn't stroll around in the residential area or in the garden not far from the neighborhood. Instead, she directly went for a stroll in outer space. Sometimes, when she got tired from her strolls, she would even absorb the dense cosmic energy in outer space to cultivate, and her cultivation speed was incredibly fast.
There were also an abundance of all sorts of good things. In Ding Yun's words, it was like picking up money every day when she went out for a walk.
Later on, Ding Yun even got too lazy to collect things like gold. After all, that stuff couldn't compare to real heavenly treasures, and it took up space. Having tens of millions of tons was enough. What was the point of collecting too much? She couldn't spend it anyway. If Ding Yun were to take out the gold from her space, the gold market would collapse directly.
But no matter what, Ding Yun herself was sufficiently low-key, and this leisurely little life continued until the Chinese New Year, and until her grandson Guo Yuntao returned, saying that he could no longer suppress his cultivation and was about to break through to the Golden Core stage.
He asked Ding Yun what he should do and where he should break through.
How to handle the breakthrough process and how to conceal it afterward?
