Ding Hai's nagging about getting married and having children had long been a broken record to the original body. Ding Yun was indifferent and pretended not to hear. After dinner, she returned to her bedroom, locked the door, and entered her personal space to cultivate.
Since this world had begun its spiritual energy recovery, there would definitely be great changes in the future. Therefore, cultivation naturally had to be put on the agenda.
As for the issue of sparse spiritual energy, not to mention the personal space itself had plenty of spiritual energy, Ding Yun's soul space also had various spirit stones and spirit veins. Even if that wasn't enough, she had cultivation techniques that didn't require spiritual energy, directly absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and the power of stars to improve her cultivation. Therefore, the various problems others might encounter when cultivating now were not problems for Ding Yun at all.
With Ding Yun's extremely high realm and her pure, unblemished physical body, her cultivation speed was remarkably fast. She had no bottlenecks whatsoever; all she needed to do was inject spiritual energy into her body and refine it into magic power. In less than an hour, she successfully broke through to the peak of Foundation Establishment.
Considering that breaking through to the Core Formation realm required connection with heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth in her personal space were not complete, which could easily lead to a low-quality Core Formation, Ding Yun stopped cultivating. She then began to sift through the gold and silver jewelry left by the previous owner in her personal space. She picked out a few pieces that were relatively valuable, then left the personal space, carrying those items with her, preparing to find a shop to sell them.
Initially, Ding Yun was somewhat conflicted about how to make money. However, ever since that sudden appearance of a person was hit by a car, Ding Yun knew she had to choose the fastest and easiest path. That was to sell the items in her personal space. After all, farming and selling vegetables or starting a business were too slow. Starting a business also required startup capital. As for the person who was hit by the car, their accident was indeed related to her. The security bureau had already given Ding Yun a heads-up: as long as the other party wasn't a wanted criminal, Ding Yun would have to pay some compensation. The original body, however, was a spendthrift, often having only a few thousand on hand. It was highly likely that this wouldn't be enough for the compensation. Ding Yun also didn't want to borrow from her parents, so she could only sell some of the fine jade and emeralds from her personal space to tide her over for the time being.
Compared to selling large amounts of gold or diamonds, selling jade and emeralds was undoubtedly safer. Selling gold could easily attract attention, and large-scale sales required proof. Diamonds were too small and depreciated quickly; very large ones required professional certificates. Only with jade and emeralds could the phrase "family heirloom" easily cover it. When selling, only an appraisal was needed. The only drawback was that the market had declined slightly in recent years, and prices were not as high as a few years ago. However, as long as the quality was good, it could still be sold easily.
After visiting several pawnshops and jade stores, Ding Yun finally sold a few pieces of jade to Jin Yu Ge, the local establishment with the longest history, nearly eighty years old. After deducting taxes, she received a total of thirty-four million.
With money in hand, Ding Yun naturally had the confidence to visit the person who was hit by the car. Upon arriving at the hospital, she inquired with a nurse and easily found the ward, which was guarded by a security bureau officer outside. Inside the ward, two doctors and a security bureau officer were surrounding the patient and asking questions.
"Hey, what are you looking at!" Du Ju An, who was guarding outside, questioned Ding Yun as she peered through the ward window. The injured person inside was currently unidentified, so constant vigilance was necessary.
"Um, sir, the person inside seemed to be scared by me and ran out, getting hit by a car. I was a little worried, so I came specifically to check on the situation. How is he now? Is he in danger?" Since this was not a secret, Ding Yun did not try to conceal it and explained honestly, while also inquiring about the person's condition.
"Oh, so it's you. Don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. He probably wasn't scared by you, or rather, a normal person wouldn't be scared by you. As for his condition, he seems to be fine now. He's awake and being questioned. After the questioning is done... Uh, never mind, you'd better not go in. Just look from outside the ward. The person's identity is currently unclear, and we don't know if he has a criminal record or anything. We don't even know if he's a national. So, it's better not to get too close!" After comforting Ding Yun, Du Ju An, for safety reasons, advised Ding Yun not to have close contact with the injured person in the ward and to just look from a distance.
As they were talking, the security bureau officer and the two doctors from the ward came out looking somewhat dejected and closed the door. Without waiting for Ding Yun to ask, Du Ju An curiously inquired first, "Old Cheng, what's wrong? Why do you look so gloomy? Didn't you get any information, or what's going on?"
"It's more than just not getting any information. He doesn't understand what I'm saying, and I don't understand what he's saying. I tried using voice recognition software, but it couldn't recognize it. It might not be a mainstream national language, or perhaps it's a very rare dialect. Sigh, this is quite troublesome. We'll have to find language experts to ask later. Also, we'll need to find some psychologists and micro-expression experts to see if he's intentionally pretending by speaking incomprehensible languages or something. The only fortunate thing is that he doesn't have any serious physical issues. No bones are broken, and his internal organs are not damaged, only some malnutrition. But strangely, his bone density and muscle strength are much stronger than ordinary people, so he shouldn't be an ordinary person. He could even be comparable to so-called elite soldiers. But perhaps because of this, he wasn't seriously injured in the car accident."
After explaining the situation, Cheng Yu Wei noticed Ding Yun and then inquired about her identity. Du Ju An quickly provided the explanation.
"Strange, you don't seem to have anything strange about you. Even if that guy isn't a national, he must have seen many people to have come this far. How could he have been so scared? It's truly baffling." After learning Ding Yun's identity, Cheng Yu Wei curiously examined her from all sides, unable to see anything frightening about her. The doubts in his mind grew more and more.
"Who knows? Perhaps the guy in the ward is mentally unstable, and this girl was just unlucky enough to encounter him during an episode. That's why it happened."
"If that's the case, she's quite unlucky!"
"Um, I'm curious, what responsibility do I have in this situation, and how much do I have to pay?" Ding Yun actually disliked trouble. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have been so curious. But now there was no other way, so she had to clarify first. If she could just pay some money and be done with it, she would accept it.
