School resumed after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so a few days after the visit from his uncle's family, Ge Dongxu packed his things and returned to the county town.

Because he had an extra income of seventy-five thousand at the end of last year, not only did Ge Dongxu's bank account not decrease after buying those four houses, but it actually increased by more than fifty thousand. Therefore, before returning to the county town, Ge Dongxu insisted on leaving twenty thousand for his parents so they could spend more freely.

Originally, before purchasing the four houses, Ge Dongxu had one hundred and twenty thousand in his bank account. Then, including the house payment and various fees, he spent about twenty thousand. After earning seventy-five thousand at the end of the year and leaving behind twenty thousand, his account balance was around one hundred and fifty-five thousand. As for the factory rent, it was payable annually and was not a significant amount, so Ge Dongxu let the factory keep it to pay him later.

Even though there were one hundred and fifty thousand in the bank, Ge Dongxu wanted to demolish the four dilapidated houses and rebuild them as soon as possible. But remembering that the crack in the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade was becoming more obvious and its effect not as good as before, he estimated it would break down within a month at most. Now with only fifty-four jade tokens left, although he had improved his cultivation power and his proficiency in talisman drawing, the chance of successfully crafting a Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade with fifty-four jade tokens was still very slim. Therefore, he didn't dare to touch the one hundred and fifty thousand for the time being, and the four dilapidated houses had to remain as they were.

For the first few days of school, Ge Dongxu did not meet Dong Yuxin on his way to school, which puzzled him. So he took the opportunity during the class break to go upstairs and look for her.

He found out that Dong Yuxin had moved at the beginning of the year to a house closer to school. This fact made Ge Dongxu feel a bit dejected. Not because Dong Yuxin moved away and that it would be hard to commute with her, but because it had been several days, and she hadn't mentioned it to him until he asked about it.

Perhaps it was because senior year and college entrance exam preparation were so intense. Ge Dongxu made excuses for Dong Yuxin in his heart, but no matter what, he couldn't help feeling somewhat disheartened.

However, the mood of young people changes quickly, and especially for a cultivator like Ge Dongxu, his disposition was naturally broad-minded. He quickly put aside this disheartening matter and focused on his studies and cultivation. As for the Yaxu Trademark Factory, there was no need for him, a shareholder, to worry. He simply had to sit back and collect the money.

In this way, more than half a month of school quickly passed.

The cracks in the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade became more apparent, and its effectiveness worsened. Knowing the talisman jade wouldn't last much longer, Ge Dongxu had no choice but to take the jade tokens and begin the extravagant effort of crafting a new Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade all over again.

Because his cultivation power and skill in talisman drawing had improved during this period, he could craft six talisman jades per day instead of the previous five. Of course, this also meant he was spending more money daily than before.

Today was the ninth day that Ge Dongxu had been crafting the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade, which meant he only had the last six jade tokens left.

After today, he would have to go to the Provincial Capital to purchase more jade tokens.

Thinking that after today's failure, he would have to buy more jade tokens, leaving his pockets empty, Ge Dongxu felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

These days, money comes quickly and goes just as quickly!

One, two, three, four; when he reached the fifth one, Ge Dongxu actually succeeded.

This time, he had managed to craft a Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade with only fifty-three jade tokens.

"Haha!" In the dead of night, Ge Dongxu couldn't help but crack a happy smile. If he were to calculate based on the success rate of the last time, this time he had saved a whopping one hundred and sixty to seventy thousand!

Of course, Ge Dongxu knew that the high success rate this time was not only due to his improved cultivation power and proficiency in Talisman Drawing, but also due to a great deal of luck, so it would be hard to say for the next time.

Nonetheless, this success had saved him a lot of money, and with it, he no longer had to worry about the Jade Talisman matter for at least the next two or three months. As a result, his funds had become much more flexible.

"It seems that this weekend, I can ask Uncle Cheng to help me check out those four old houses to see if he can find a reliable construction team to help me tear down and rebuild the old houses." With some extra cash on hand, Ge Dongxu couldn't help but think about those old homes again.

Ge Dongxu still wanted to move out and live alone as soon as possible, partly because of his cultivation, and partly because living with others always involved some discomfort.

So, this weekend, Ge Dongxu didn't go back to Ge Family Village. On one hand, he wanted to ask Cheng Yazhou for help with the house matter, and on the other hand, Zuo Le and Lin Jinnuo had asked Yue Ting to reach out to Ge Dongxu to invite him for dinner on Saturday evening, to express their thanks in person.

Last year, close to the end-of-term exams and busy with studying, Ge Dongxu declined the invitation, but this time it would not be good to do so again, so he agreed.

"Uncle Cheng, you seem to have been a bit off these past couple of days, not looking so well. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" On the way to look at the houses with Cheng Yazhou, Ge Dongxu noticed that Cheng Yazhou seemed preoccupied and rather haggard, so he couldn't help asking with concern.

"No, I'm fine, perhaps I've just been tired from chasing after TV series these past few days," Cheng Yazhou replied hesitantly.

"Then Uncle Cheng should be careful, staying up late is very harmful to one's health," Ge Dongxu said, taking his words at face value, and then kindly reminded him.

"Yeah, I know," Cheng Yazhou nodded, then shifted the topic to the houses and asked, "Dongxu, are you really planning to spend the money to tear down those four rooms and rebuild them?"

"Yes, the environment here is good, with mountains in the distance and water nearby. If those four rooms were demolished, and if a two-story western-style villa of roughly two to three hundred square meters, surrounded by a garden and enclosed with walls, were built in their place, I think living here would be quite comfortable," Ge Dongxu replied.

"It seems I can't keep up with the ideas of your young people. However, demolishing and building a house involves a lot of procedures, and finding a trustworthy construction team is also an issue; it can't be rushed. Of course, the cost will surely be substantial; you should be mentally prepared," said Cheng Yazhou, who knew that Ge Dongxu always had his own strong opinions and didn't try to persuade him further this time.

"I'm aware of that, but being too young, I don't understand these matters, and since I'm still studying, it's not convenient for me to deal with these things. I'll still need to trouble Uncle Cheng to handle this for me," Ge Dongxu stated.

"That's no problem, even if you hadn't mentioned it, I would definitely have stepped in to help you. As for the specific costs, I don't know at the moment; we'd need to ask a construction team to find out. But if we want something decent, a price of three to four hundred per square meter is probably to be expected; add on the costs of decoration and the garden, it's probably going to be around one hundred and eighty to ninety thousand," Cheng Yazhou nodded, then gave a rather uncertain estimate.

In the countryside, building a house didn't cost much money. If people knew that it cost one hundred and eighty to ninety thousand to build a house in the countryside, they would certainly believe it was an act of a spendthrift madman. But Cheng Yazhou was aware of Ge Dongxu's temperament, so naturally, he estimated it according to a high standard.
