Time flew by quickly, she managed to get her boutique registered and the renovation began. She had refused to let them carry the costs of her first business but insisted on using her own money.

She had decided to open the boutique when she returns back from the mountains. So in the two weeks before the term break, she was busy interviewing candidates to work in her boutique. She needed professionals and not some workers that will act like those that chased her out of the jewelry store.

During that time, she had found four ladies that were to her liking, one would work as the manager while the other will do the other work. Her boutique will be selling only the clothes that she buys from the clothing store of her system mall.

She also took the gang under her wings as they could help her in other things she had no time for. The first thing she did after taking them under her wings was to make sure that they train properly, so she gave them the detoxification pill each and gave them a training program to make them useful and worthy.

Finally, the term breaks arrived and it was time for her to check how effective the upgraded treasure map was and the jade eyes she had obtained after consuming that precious pill.

Krystal prepared her gear for the trip and bought a number of baskets in advance for her trip to the mountains. This time she was going to visit a bigger mountain that was a bit near Frey to save herself some time.

Krystal left Dielas at night the day when they left school for their vacation. She wanted to have as much time as she can so that she can visit a number of places or just dig up everything that she comes across.

She took a flight to Frey first and slept in a hotel. The next day she took a bus to her destination. When she arrived it was still after three hours and she was still energetic. Being surrounded by nature and a lot of life energy was just great for her cultivation.

Krystal trekked into the mountain and began hunting. With the help of the map she was able to hike in that direction and when she arrived at the place, she used her jade eyes to scan and look for what she wanted.

Seeing how effective it was, she began to dig and dig. This continued for three straight days and just like that she had rummaged through the whole mountain. This time she was faster because she had the jade eyes helping her.

She returned back to Frey and had a great sleep first. The next day she met with the old man she sold herbs to the last time. She had called him the previous night and he was willing to buy herbs from her.

Because the herbs were a bit much she decided to sell only a third to him and sell the rest in Valletta when she visits the capital.

"It's good to see you again," the old man said with a smile.

"I am glad to see you again. You can check the herbs."

Krystal brought the man to the truck which had the herbs that she had brought for him. After he was done checking them, he transferred ten million to her account. Satisfied with the transaction, she promised to bring him more once she gets them.

The old man was called grandpa Mills back when she was called M, she would call him old Mills but now she couldn't have that relationship with him anymore.

After a successful transaction Krystal took her leave once more leaving the old man with complicated feelings.

"Does she still looks like M to you?"

"She doesn't at all, it was just my wishful thinking. I just hope that the young girl is now resting in peace," grandpa Mills sighed with regret as he thought of that unfortunate young woman.
