Chapter 130: Chapter 109 Achievement! Three Spiritual Platforms for One Sect_2
Fortunately, Wang Shouzhe and the Water Elemental Turtle shared a preliminary trust between themselves, due to their connection through the āancient bloodline contract secret techniqueā and having already āmerged their bloodlines.ā
Every day, they would soak up the sun, eat some Level Three Crocodile Meat, occasionally barbecuing Spirit Fish, dried small fish and drinking some Spiritual Wine.
Then, he would tell it stories; inspiring stories of historical figures who had been unwaveringly loyal, compassionate towards their spirit beasts, some even bringing tears to his eyes.
Occasionally, thereād be one or two spirit beasts who betrayed their masters, who met grisly ends and so on.
Similar stories were abundant on Earth.
Wang Shouzhe didnāt need to spend any effort to find them and could keep them coming for a month without repeating himself. He was helping maintaining the Water Elemental Turtleās sense of what was morally right as a spirit beast.
The man and the turtle quickly warmed up to each other.
One day,
The head of household Wang Zhong came to report that Zhong Xingwang from the Zhong family had secretly come to visit.
Therefore, Wang Shouzhe warmly welcomed Zhong Xingwang in the main hall. They had become close since the last time they had drinks together at Hundred Islands Guard.
After some small talk and drinking Spiritual Tea, they became even more amicable.
āBrother Shouzhe,ā Zhong Xingwang took out a jade bottle from his bosom and said, āYou wrote to me a few days ago asking me to look for an āEnlightenment Pillā. By chance, someone came to sell one, so Iām bringing it to you.ā
āBrother Zhong,ā Wang Shouzhe thanked him bowing, āYou didnāt have to personally deliver it for such a small matter.ā
The Enlightenment Pill was only a Rank 3 Spirit Pill, but its hard to manufacture due to low demand, which in turn inflates its price.
The market price now is around 800 Qian Gold each, and itās still relatively hard to get.
Most people see this pill as a trivial object. Spending a huge amount of money to slightly improve oneās aptitude has a very low cost performance.
For many low-ranking families, it would be a major issue to save up 800 Qian Gold a year after covering all various expenses.
However, Wang Shouzheās original talent was of a lower Class A, and it was very close to the middle talent among Class A. Only a thin line separated him from the Middle Class. If he could evolve into a Middle Grade talent with the help of this pill, it would be worth it.
āNo problem, no problem, Iām just wasting my days in the family business.ā Zhong Xingwang laughed, āIām free anyway, so 1 came to see you.ā
Come see me?
Whatās there to see about me?
Wang Shouzhe chuckled. Zhong Xingwang was obviously here for Old Ancestor Longyan. However, he understood that with Longyan Old Ancestorās temperament and perspective, he would never have any regard for Zhong Xingwang.
After receiving the Enlightenment Pill from Wang Shouzhe, he asked Zhongxing to pay him 700 Qian Gold. But despite this, Wang Shouzhe still gave him 800 Qian Gold Notes. It wouldnāt be right to have a Realm Cultivator run an errand for nothing, would it?
Zhong Xingwang tried to refuse several times, but couldnāt out argue Wang Shouzhe. After reluctantly accepting the 800 Qian Gold, he grew restless and hesitated before saying: āBrother Shouzhe, 1 was wondering how my senior sister is doing lately?ā
āBrother Zhong,ā Wang Shouzhe spoke earnestly, āMy familyās Old Ancestor is now in good health, but she is currently in closed-door cultivation.ā
All these days, the Old Ancestor was actually helping Wang Licui digest the residual spiritual energy in the Vermilion Fruit. Furthermore, she needed to coach Sixth Grandfather Wang Xiaohan in stabilising his realm quickly, and imparted the knowledge of the Spiritual Platform Realm to him.
It was a bit busy, but she didnāt actually close the doors for cultivation.
However, Wang Shouzhe had already visited Old Ancestor Longyan before seeing Zhong Xingwang, asking her for her opinion.
Clearly, Old Ancestor didnāt want to meet him at all and had asked Wang Shouzhe to receive him on her behalf.
āIs that so?ā Zhong Xingwang was slightly disappointed, but said, āSince senior sister is in closed-door cultivation, I might as well wait a few more days. Brother Shouzhe, could you arrange a guest room for me?ā
Uhā¦
Wang Shouzhe had not anticipated that Zhong Xingwang would be so persistent.
However, he couldnāt refuse his request. Immediately, he asked the servant Wang Gui to arrange a guest room for Zhong Xingwang and appointed two clever servants to attend to him.
After arranging for Zhong Xingwang,
Wang Shouzhe returned home, ready to take a bath and try the valuable Enlightenment Pill.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to get into the bath tub,
Wang Licui came in hurriedly, āFourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Iāve thought of it, Iāve thought of it.ā
āā¦ā Wang Shouzhe let out a cold sweat, reminding her, āIām taking a bath.ā
āI know, Iām not blind. Take your time, Fourth Uncle.ā Wang Licui found a stool and sat by the edge of the wooden barrel, excitedly, āFourth Uncle, Iāve thought about that matter.ā
āGet out!ā
From outside the house.
Wang Licui was urging, āFourth Uncle, could you hurry up, Iāve figured out the location at such great hardship.ā
āFourth Uncle, if you donāt come out, I will forget.ā
āNever mind, you take your time bathing. 1ā11 have some hotpot⦠The clear soup hot pot you made the day before yesterday was good.ā
Before she finished speaking, Wang Shouzhe had already come out, fully dressed, dark-faced, and glared at her.
āFourth Uncle, youāre done so quickly?ā Wang Licui looked slightly disappointed.
āIf I didnāt come out now, you would have started cooking the hot pot.ā Wang Shouzhe retorted while adjusting his clothes. āLicui, youāre a grown lady now. Didnāt your elder brother and sister-in-law teach you⦠about the segregation between men and women? How can a girl casually walk into a manās bath?ā
āIāve been taught. That old scholar in school is always nagging about it.ā Wang Licui laughed carelessly, āBut Fourth Uncle, youāre not a man.ā
ā?ā Wang Shouzhe gave her a deadly stare.
āNo, no, what I meant is, Fourth Uncle, youāre family⦠and you have a good physique. I donāt mind seeing you bathe.ā
Thank you for the compliment, but I do mind!
āAhem!ā Wang Shouzhe seriously said, āLicui, even if weāre family, we need to observe the segregation between men and women. Next time, you should not barge in when Iām bathing.ā
Uh-huh! Wang Licui distractedly responded.
Fortunately, Wang Shouzhe knew this girl was careless, and her mind was full of thoughts of food. So he didnāt dwell on it, āOn another note, what did you think of? You made such a fuss about it.ā
āOh, I almost forgot if you didnāt remind me.ā Wang Licui looked around his room but found nothing tasty, so she had to pull out the melon she prepared, eating with a crunching sound, āFourth Uncle, didnāt you ask me before, what food did Luo Qiu, Luo Jing and I ate last time? Where did we find it?ā
Wang Shouzhe brightened up, āDid you remember it?ā
āI remember it was in the fall, many fruit trees in the mountain bore fruit.ā said Wang Licui, āI picked some wild fruits and brought back half a bottle of mountain spring water. I thought, Iām their big sister, 1 need to bring something home for the children. Shu Yong and Shu Lian didnāt dare to eat, but Luo Jing and Luo Qiu ate heartily.ā
You brought something back for the children? Youāre so thoughtful.
āDo you remember anything special about those wild fruits?ā Wang Shouzhe asked, āFor example, strange shapes, or special ones like Vermilion Fruit?ā
āNo, they were just ordinary wild fruits.ā Wang Licui thought hard and said, āI have been picking and eating these fruits in the past, nothing special. Oh, the water⦠I collected it from a cave, it was sticky, like transparent milk.ā
Sticky? Like transparent milk?
Wang Shouzheās face darkened, and you call that mountain spring water?
However, his heart thumped as he suddenly thought of something, he said aloud: āCould it be Stone Marrow?ā
The Stone Marrow sounded very ordinary.
However, itās anything but ordinary. Itās known as the essence of earthās veins and is an advanced Heaven and Earth treasure occasionally coagulated in the mountains.
The greatest effect of it is that it can be combined with other Heaven and Earth treasures to make a Level Six Spirit Pill ā the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Human body generates blood from the marrow, which is the basis of the bloodline. The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill can stimulate the potential within the marrow, thoroughly improve the bloodline talent, and activate the ancient recessive bloodline in the body.
It is not ordinary, definitely not like the trivial Enlightenment Pill. Its price and rarity surpass those resources the Spiritual Platform Prominent Family can access.
Even the Tianren Family would suffer great losses if they were to strive for a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.
With this thought, Wang Shouzhe was overjoyed.
His mediocre talent can finally be saved!
