...
All along, Chen Fangjie felt that he wasn’t the most clever type of person.
He did things by the book, with a certain steadiness and grace, earning praise and affection from the clan elders. Even the two ancestors in the family favored him quite a bit.
But for so reason, ever since he got involved with his future brother-in-law Wang Shouzhe, that innate cleverness seed to jump out of him.
There was no other way because Shouzhe always set traps for him to fall into. If he didn’t force out so cleverness, he would have long been tricked terribly.
This brat didn’t even give him a heads-up before arranging for Ancestor Longyan to be there.
Ancestor Longyan glanced at him up and down and said calmly, "You have a silver tongue. You’ll need Miss Luoyi to properly discipline you later, stand up."
Chen Fangjie smiled wryly; in his twenty or so years of life, it was his first ti being described as having a silver tongue. Shouzhe, oh Shouzhe, you’ve really set up badly.
However, he got up and continued to speak honestly, "Yes, yes, Ancestor’s critique is right. In the future, whatever Luoyi says, I’ll listen." After all, it’s his own wife, discipline, teaching, whatever works!
"Brother Chen, I’ve got pressing matters on hand. Won’t be able to entertain, you should rest early." Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands with a smile and then left Xia Garden together with Ancestor Longyan.
After Wang Shouzhe left, Chen Fangjie felt rather bitter, "Rest? My heart is full of envy and jealousy, how can it calm enough to rest? Forget it, Wang i, just arrange a guest room for anywhere." He had said before that as long as he participated in the finale, the spoils didn’t matter. Then... Shouzhe really didn’t mind.
"Young Clan Leader Chen, this Xia Garden is my property." Wang i looked him up and down, "And you are the future husband of Miss Luoyi. Us being alone in one room would not be good for our reputation. Please, make yourself at ho."
Make myself at ho? Ah?
Chen Fangjie was utterly confused, it’s almost dawn, where do you expect to make myself at ho?
...
Ti passed.
The sky was already slightly bright.
A small boat with a black canopy sailed peacefully through the river, gently rippling as it moved towards the family property [Xingsheng Farm].
Liu Yongzhou and Zhao Dingtian were both elites within the clan, having handled countless operations for the family, both overt and covert. In the matter of stealing the Celestial Spirit Pill, they had certainly planned thoroughly, making it unlikely to be discovered in the short term.
Otherwise, even if they got hold of the Celestial Spirit Pill, they wouldn’t have ti to elope with Zhong Luoxian.
But Wang Shouzhe was even more cautious. Having finally obtained the [Celestial Spirit Pill], along with auxiliary materials for advancent.
He certainly wouldn’t waste any ti, delivering it imdiately to Sixth Grandfather Wang Xiaohan.
As long as Sixth Grandfather Wang Xiaohan advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm, it would truly be assured. Moreover, there were two sets of advancent materials this ti, ensuring an Ancestor Spirit Platform would erge.
This ti with Ancestor Longyan accompanying the journey, it was the utmost safety, and at this mont Wang Shouzhe wouldn’t mind if so blind ancestor stumbled upon them.
No words along the journey.
Upon arriving at [Xingsheng Farm], the sky was already lightening.
After communication.
In no ti, Wang Xiaohan hurried to et them. After a brief greeting, they entered a hidden cave in the Liping Mountain Range beside the farm.
This cave was a secret ergency refuge dug out by the ancestors using a natural cave, with a spring inside and so stored food.
At the bottom of the refuge, there was a secret passage for escape.
Even a cunning hare has three burrows, much less a family that has been running for over a hundred years. Most major family properties, even the main residence, would have so secret storage points, concealed paths, etc., for ergency escape and avoidance.
This refuge made it the safest place for Sixth Grandfather Wang Xiaohan to advance to the Spirit Platform Realm, guarded by Ancestor Longyan at the entrance, she could truly block ten thousand with her presence alone.
"Sixth Grandfather, how is the preparation going?" Wang Shouzhe asked with a bow.
At this mont, Wang Xiaohan, after about a month’s body conditioning, looked very well. With the help of the Peiyuan Pill and a large amount of Spiritual Food, his complexion was rosy and his body was full of vital energy.
"Very good, I’m ready to attempt the breakthrough." Wang Xiaohan said spiritedly, though there was still a hint of uncertainty in his gaze due to a previous failure.
Wang Shouzhe joked, "Sixth Grandfather, you’ve had the experience, you’re not like a bashful young girl on her first bridal sedan. You’ve done this before, it’s familiar. Your Heaven and Earth Two Bridges have been washed and nourished by the Celestial Spirit Pill, you should be more experienced than others, this ti you will surely open the Spirit Platform. Besides, I’ve prepared two sets of advancent materials for you; if need be, we can spend another month conditioning and try again."
"You, where did you learn to tease like this, even daring to jest with your Sixth Grandfather." Wang Xiaohan laughed, his mood visibly lightening, "Though you really know how to comfort, Sixth Grandfather’s spirits have lifted."
Actually, everyone knew that to reach the Spirit Platform Realm, the first step was to break open the Heaven and Earth Two Bridges, allowing Profound Qi to enter the Spirit Platform, to open the Spirit Platform, and to concentrate Spiritual Sense. Once the Spirit Platform was opened, human Profound Qi could complete a Grand Circulation, allowing the body’s functions to undergo a fundantal transformation.
The human Spirit Platform is inherently mysterious and fragile; if the first attempt to open it fails, it often leaves so trauma, affecting the second attempt.
Thus, breaking through to the Spirit Platform Realm becos increasingly difficult with each attempt, especially so when attempting a second breakthrough shortly thereafter, often with a lower chance of success.
