“Thank you for protecting us Grand Aunt,” Wang Xiaohan subdued his excited emotion and sincerely bowed to Old Ancestor Longyan.

“No need to be formal,” Old Ancestor Longyan’s voice also carried a hint of excitement, “You should thank Shouzhe instead. He went through a lot to bring back the Heavenly Spirit Pill.”

“Of course,” Wang Xiaohan turned and bowed deeply to Wang Shouzhe, “Shouzhe, I never dreamed that I could advance to the Spirit Platform Realm in this lifetime. Thank you, Shouzhe!”

“Ah, Grand Uncle, that is absolutely unnecessary. You are my senior, how could you bow like this? Please don’t deprive me of my good fortune.” Wang Shouzhe quickly supported him by the arm and said with a smile, “We Wang family members should support each other, what’s there to thank for? Besides, now that you have become Old Ancestor Xiaohan, the burden on my shoulder is lighter. I won’t have to borrow the elders from other families anymore.”

No matter how close you are with the elders of other families, in the end, they are still from other families.

Take Elder Mou for instance, he’s more than happy to be close to Wang Shouzhe, and occasionally lends a hand. But we can’t rely on him for every single issue. After all, Elder Mou has to look after his own Gongsun Clan too.

“Haha, your remarks are always interesting,” Old Ancestor Xiaohan laughed heartily, “In any case, from now on, I will be your sword. Wherever you want to point, I will strike.”

Just then, Wang Licui rushed over, knelt and embraced Wang Xiaohan’s thigh: “Licui pays her respects to Old Ancestor Xiaohan. I wish that your cultivation rises steadily and that you ascend to become a Celestial Being.”

“Oh, Licui, you know how to play the game”, Wang Xiaohan chuckled as he tousled her hair, as if he could see right through her little scheming, “Did you upset your Fourth Uncle again?”

“Not at all, I’m genuinely happy for Old Ancestor Xiaohan,” Wang Licui said earnestly, “Fourth Uncle loves Licui so much, how could I possibly upset him?” Wang Shouzhe’s mouth twitched a little, “You upset me? And that happens rather frequently, don’t you think?”

“By the way, Grand Uncle,” Wang Shouzhe continued, “Where did Licui get that Fierce Beast little tiger from?”

“For that, you’ll have to ask her,” Wang Xiaohan responded with a smile, “She sneaked out to the mountain not long after arriving at the farm. By the time I found her, she already had that little tiger with her. I’ve been busy with my recovery recently and haven’t had the chance to ask her more about it.” “Awoooo, awooo!” At this moment, Little Tiger Huahua jumped out, rolling around on the ground as if to say, “You’re talking about me!”

“You dared to sneak into the mountains again! Are you not afraid to lose your life? Have you forgotten the lesson from last time…” Wang Shouzhe’s stern reprimand stopped halfway through as he realized something. Why did he say “again?”

Memories came flooding back. This girl had done something like this before. A little more than two years ago, she’d picked some unknown wild fruit from the mountains and even shared them with her two younger sisters.

All three of them ended up vomiting and having diarrhea for about a week and almost died.

The incident caused quite a stir. Wang Licui was grounded for three months afterward, and since then, the children in the family were forbidden from going to the mountains.

While Wang Shouzhe was processing the memories, Old Ancestor Longyan spoke, “Girl, come here and let me take a look.”

Wang Licui was an expert at currying favor. Upon hearing Old Ancestor’s summons, she rushed over swiftly to kneel and pay respects. She then jumped into Old Ancestor Longyan’s arms and snuggled up to her, “Old Ancestor, Licui missed you.”

“I’ve heard about your recent troubles. Your Fourth Uncle is only looking out for your best interest. You should listen to him more,” Old Ancestor Longyan seemed to be in high spirits as she reached out and grabbed Licui’s wrist, a tiny thread of Mysterious Energy then seeped into her body.

“Hiss, it’s so cold.” Wang Licui shivered, her face turning pale.

“Old Ancestor, what are you…” Wang Shouzhe felt a surge of anxiety. Old Ancestor’s Mysterious Energy inherently held a powerful Mysterious Ice attribute. Recently, with the gradual refinement of the Yin Sha energy, her Mysterious Ice attribute was now mixed with some Yin Sha as well.

“Don’t worry.” Old Ancestor Longyan reassured, “Shouzhe, didn’t you notice? The vital energy inside this girl is too exuberant.”

“Huh?” Only then did Wang Shouzhe carefully observe Wang Licui. To his surprise, his brows furrowed as he exclaimed, “This vitality is so vigorous. Don’t tell me this damned child has been eating only Spirit Food for every meal?”

He had noticed that her vitality was somewhat exuberant before, but he attributed it to a pampered lifestyle where she ate her fill every day. He didn’t expect that on a closer look, her vitality was exceedingly exuberant.

Spirit Food was certainly wonderful, as it could quickly replenish vitality. However, if one consumes too much and does not have enough time to cultivate and assimilate it, it may instead cause irreversible damage to their internal organs.

Even with Wang Shouzhe’s current Cultivation Realm, he dared not eat Spirit Food at every meal. It was best to eat it once every few days.

“Strange, this girl’s Cultivation Realm…” Wang Shouzhe began, “It seems she has already reached the peak of Level Two, within just a month’s time.”

A month ago, she had not even reached the middle stage of Level Two. Even with vigorous vitality and diligent daily practice, it wouldn’t have been possible to progress at such a fast pace. Her potential was tested when she was seven or eight years old, and it was only a low Class C.

This rate of cultivation was something even Wang Shouzhe himself couldn’t achieve back in the day, no matter how abundant his resources were.

“It’s not because she consumed too much Spirit Food.” Old Ancestor Longyan’s brows knitted slightly, “Her vigorous vitality contains a natural fire attribute. It’s as if she’s consumed some high-grade Fire Spirit Pill or some fiery Heaven and Earth Treasure..”
