Fortunately, Wang Shouzhe and the Water Elemental Turtle shared a preliminary trust between themselves, due to their connection through the “ancient bloodline contract secret technique” and having already “merged their bloodlines.”

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, there’d 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 didn’t 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 Turtle’s 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.

“Brother Shouzhe,” Zhong Xingwang took out a jade bottle from his bosom and said, “You wrote to me a few days ago asking me to look for an ‘Enlightenment Pill’. By chance, someone came to sell one, so I’m bringing it to you.”

“Brother Zhong,” Wang Shouzhe thanked him bowing, “You didn’t have to personally deliver it for such a small matter.”

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 it’s still relatively hard to get.

Most people see this pill as a trivial object. Spending a huge amount of money to slightly improve one’s 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 Shouzhe’s 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.

“No problem, no problem, I’m just wasting my days in the family business.” Zhong Xingwang laughed, “I’m free anyway, so I came to see you.”

Come see me?

What’s there to see about me?

Wang Shouzhe chuckled. Zhong Xingwang was obviously here for Old Ancestor Longyan. However, he understood that with Longyan Old Ancestor’s 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 wouldn’t be right to have a Realm Cultivator run an errand for nothing, would it?

Zhong Xingwang tried to refuse several times, but couldn’t out argue Wang Shouzhe. After reluctantly accepting the 800 Qian Gold, he grew restless and hesitated before saying: “Brother Shouzhe, I was wondering how my senior sister is doing lately?”

“Brother Zhong,” Wang Shouzhe spoke earnestly, “My family’s Old Ancestor is now in good health, but she is currently in closed-door cultivation.”

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 didn’t 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 didn’t want to meet him at all and had asked Wang Shouzhe to receive him on her behalf.

“Is that so?” Zhong Xingwang was slightly disappointed, but said, “Since 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?”

Uh…

Wang Shouzhe had not anticipated that Zhong Xingwang would be so persistent.

However, he couldn’t 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, “Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, I’ve thought of it, I’ve thought of it.”

“…” Wang Shouzhe let out a cold sweat, reminding her, “I’m taking a bath.”

“I know, I’m not blind. Take your time, Fourth Uncle.” Wang Licui found a stool and sat by the edge of the wooden barrel, excitedly, “Fourth Uncle, I’ve thought about that matter.”

“Get out!”

“…”

…

From outside the house.

Wang Licui was urging, “Fourth Uncle, could you hurry up, I’ve figured out the location at such great hardship.”

“Fourth Uncle, if you don’t come out, I will forget.”

“Never mind, you take your time bathing. I’ll have some hotpot… The clear soup hot pot you made the day before yesterday was good.”

Before she finished speaking, Wang Shouzhe had already come out, fully dressed, dark-faced, and glared at her.

“Fourth Uncle, you’re done so quickly?” Wang Licui looked slightly disappointed.

“If I didn’t come out now, you would have started cooking the hot pot.” Wang Shouzhe retorted while adjusting his clothes. “Licui, you’re a grown lady now. Didn’t your elder brother and sister-in-law teach you… about the segregation between men and women? How can a girl casually walk into a man’s bath?”

“I’ve been taught. That old scholar in school is always nagging about it.” Wang Licui laughed carelessly, “But Fourth Uncle, you’re not a man.”

“?” Wang Shouzhe gave her a deadly stare.

“No, no, what I meant is, Fourth Uncle, you’re family… and you have a good physique. I don’t mind seeing you bathe.”

Thank you for the compliment, but I do mind!

“Ahem!” Wang Shouzhe seriously said, “Licui, even if we’re family, we need to observe the segregation between men and women. Next time, you should not barge in when I’m bathing.”

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 didn’t dwell on it, “On another note, what did you think of? You made such a fuss about it.”

“Oh, I almost forgot if you didn’t remind me.” 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, “Fourth Uncle, didn’t you ask me before, what food did Luo Qiu, Luo Jing and I ate last time? Where did we find it?”

Wang Shouzhe brightened up, “Did you remember it?”

“I remember it was in the fall, many fruit trees in the mountain bore fruit.” said Wang Licui, “I picked some wild fruits and brought back half a bottle of mountain spring water. I thought, I’m their big sister, I need to bring something home for the children. Shu Yong and Shu Lian didn’t dare to eat, but Luo Jing and Luo Qiu ate heartily.”

You brought something back for the children? You’re so thoughtful.

“Do you remember anything special about those wild fruits?” Wang Shouzhe asked, “For example, strange shapes, or special ones like Vermilion Fruit?”

“No, they were just ordinary wild fruits.” Wang Licui thought hard and said, “I 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.”

Sticky? Like transparent milk?

Wang Shouzhe’s face darkened, and you call that mountain spring water?

However, his heart thumped as he suddenly thought of something, he said aloud: “Could it be Stone Marrow?”

The Stone Marrow sounded very ordinary.

However, it’s anything but ordinary. It’s known as the essence of earth’s 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 – 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!
