Translator: 549690339

…

In fact, Wang Shouzhe’s talent is quite decent in comparison to scions from other Rank 9 prominent families.

But with such talent, reaching the Spirit Platform Realm and living almost two hundred years would already be considered pushing his limits.

If he wants to advance further, given his current talent and potential, even if he piles up resources, the chance is rather small. Of course, it’s not to say that piling won’t work, it’s just that the chances of breaking through the celestial being realm are small.

“Lici, take your Fourth Uncle with you to check it out,” Wang Shouzhe tried hard to suppress his surprise, “You should remember where it is, right? After all, you are familiar with these family back mountains.”

“I sort of remember, haven’t been up the mountain for two years though,” Wang Licui said nonchalantly, “Fourth Uncle, many wild fruits are not ripe this season, they taste bitter and astringent.”

Who wants those wild fruits? Your Fourth Uncle wants Stone Marrow!

His eyelids twitched, what on earth is she thinking?

Well, regardless, he would take her and slowly find the place.

Subsequently, he pulled up Wang Licui and went to find Old Ancestor Longyan and Old Ancestor Xiaohan.

When they heard that there might be Stone Marrow in the back mountain, they were immediately astonished. This item can be considered priceless. Even if all Wang family properties were sold, they couldn’t afford a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.

The four of them climbed the mountain.

The Wang family main residence was located at the foot of a branch of Liuan Mountain.

Although it’s just a branch, it is still majestic and extensive with stacked peaks. The terrain is very steep, and common fierce beasts would find it very hard to cross, providing a natural barrier for the Wang family’s main residence.

When Old Ancestor Zhou Xuan chose to build the main residence here, he initially considered the terrain which was easy to defend and hard to attack. Secondly, the location was geologically excellent being near the mountains and waters.

Of course, Old Ancestor Zhou Xuan had cleared the surrounding fierce beasts several times, so overall it could be considered safe.

Considering Wang Licui’s limited mobility when she was young, she could not have crossed the steep mountain streams and dangerous lands.

So, the search area was significantly reduced.

Two days after the search…

Wang Licui suddenly remembered: “Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, it’s there. Follow the brook at the bottom of the valley, there’s a small waterfall upfront. The cave is behind the waterfall.”

Everyone acted according to her description and indeed found a hidden cave behind a small waterfall.

Since they were prepared, Wang Shouzhe lit a few torches, followed the winding and twisting cave route, and not long after, the view in front of their eyes became bright. They had entered a wide cave.

Many stalactites hung from above the cave, dripping some fluid.

“Fourth uncle, don’t look at these ordinary mountain spring waters, they are not delicious.” Then Wang Licui, led everyone forward until they reached an ordinary-looking stalactite.

“Fourth uncle, look here. Only the mountain spring water dripped from this stalactite tastes good.” Wang Licui said excitedly.

“?” Wang Shouzhe looked closely but couldn’t see any special features in this stalactite. However, it was hanging quite high, about tens of meters from the ground.

And directly beneath it, the stone had been dripped into a fist-sized depression. That spot was crystal clear, just like jade.

In that depression, there was a drop of semi-transparent milky white liquid that emitted a faint starlight.

“It really is Stone Marrow, how beautiful.” Old Ancestor Longyan was slightly excited, “I’ve only seen it in the academy’s atlas, never seen it in person.”

“Only one drop?”

Wang Shouzhe felt a jolt in his heart, then raised his head to look at stalactite above. The tip of it was also crystal clear, as if something was going to drip from it.

Old Ancestor Longyan took out a jade bottle, respectfully collected the drop of Stone Marrow, and handed it to Wang Shouzhe, “Shouzhe, Stone Marrow is the essence of Earth Vein, even one drop is extremely valuable. You keep this one for your own use, it should help you breakthrough the Bloodline.”

“Wang Licui, why is there only one drop?” Wang Shouzhe asked.

Wang Licui blinked her eyes and touched Wang Shouzhe’s forehead with concern, “Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, you are not silly, are you? Because the previous ones, have all been taken by me and shared with Luo Qiu and Luo Jing.”

“This one must have dripped down later. I saw something hanging on it last time, it was just a bit high, and I couldn’t lick it, so it must be this drop for you, Fourth Uncle.”

Wang Shouzhe slapped his forehead, so Fourth Uncle should thank you for sparing this drop, huh. His heart was bleeding a little, “Lici, last time you took them, how big was the bottle?”

“The bottle was not big, but the depression was full.” Wang Licui said carelessly, “It was too little, the three of us had two mouthfuls each and it was gone.”

The depression was full? Two mouthfuls per person and it was gone?

Wang Shouzhe felt he was wrong, he shouldn’t have asked. Asking only added to his frustrations.

“Yo, our Lici really has good luck.” Old Ancestor Xiaohan said on the side, “She always finds good things to eat wherever she goes, even Stone Marrow is eaten by mouthfuls. No wonder, all the girls in our family are extremely capable.”

It hurts, Old Ancestor.

Then, Wang Shouzhe stared at the stalactite and asked, “Old Ancestor, do you think there would be more Stone Marrow if we cut that stone open?”

“Shouzhe, you mustn’t exhaust the pond just to catch all the fish,” Old Ancestor Longyan said, “There might be a few drops inside, but ultimately it would destroy this precious land. The appearance of Stone Marrow is the result of the essence of Earth Vein gradually fermenting, no one knows where it will appear next.”

Wang Shouzhe was only joking. This precious land, the family’s foundation, how could it be wantonly destroyed?
