In fact, Wang Shouzhe’s talent, compared to other Ninth-Grade Noble Family mbers, is already considered not bad.
But with such talent, reaching the Spirit Platform Realm and living almost two hundred years is basically the end of the line.
If he wants to go further, even if he uses resources to push himself, the chances are still small with his current talent and potential. Of course, it doesn’t an he won’t advance at all, just that the chances of breaking through to Celestial Human are small.
"Lici, take your Fourth Uncle to have a look," Wang Shouzhe suppressed his excitent, "You should still rember the place, right? After all, you’re familiar with the family back mountain."
"Vaguely rember, haven’t been up the mountain in a couple of years," Wang Lici said nonchalantly, "Fourth Uncle, this season, a lot of wild mountain fruits aren’t ripe yet, they’re bitter and astringent and not tasty."
Who’s after those wild mountain fruits? Your Fourth Uncle is looking for Stone Marrow!
His eyelids twitched, what exactly is going through your mind?
Forget it, forget it, take her and slowly search.
Afterwards, he grabbed Wang Lici and then looked for Ancestor Longyan and Ancestor Xiaohan.
Upon hearing that there might be Stone Marrow in the back mountain, they were also quite shocked. This thing is priceless, even if the entire Wang Family industry is sold, it wouldn’t be enough to exchange for a Bone Marrow Purify Pill.
The four of them headed up the mountain.
The Wang Family’s Main Residence is near a branch of Liuan Mountain.
Although it’s just a branch, it’s still magnificent and vast, with peaks piled up. The terrain is very steep, making it difficult for ordinary Fierce Beasts to cross, serving as a natural barrier for the Wang Family’s Main Residence.
When Ancestor Zhou Xuan chose this place to establish the main residence, he first saw the ease of defense and difficulty of attack, and second, that it had excellent feng shui with its proximity to mountains and water.
Of course, Ancestor Zhou Xuan had cleared the surrounding Fierce Beasts several tis, so it’s generally considered safe.
Considering Wang Lici was young, she couldn’t possibly have crossed those steep mountain ravines at that ti.
Thus, the search range was significantly reduced.
After searching for two days.
Wang Lici suddenly rembered: "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, it’s there. Follow the small creek down the valley, and ahead there’s a small waterfall. The cave is behind the waterfall."
Everyone followed her words, and sure enough, they found a hidden cave behind a small waterfall.
Being prepared, Wang Shouzhe lit a few torches and followed the winding cave path. Soon, the scenery suddenly opened up, and they entered a spacious cave.
Above, many stalactites hung down, with so liquid dripping from them.
"Fourth Uncle, don’t pay attention to these plain mountain spring waters, they’re not tasty," Wang Lici said, leading the group further. They ca to a seemingly ordinary stalactite.
"Fourth Uncle, look, it’s this one. The mountain spring water it drips is delicious," Wang Lici said excitedly.
"?" Wang Shouzhe scrutinized it and honestly couldn’t tell what was special about this stalactite. But it was hanging quite high, about three feet above the ground.
Furthermore, the stone directly beneath it had been eroded to form a fist-sized depression, and the area was crystalline and translucent, looking almost like jade.
In that groove lay a semi-transparent, milky white liquid that faintly glimred with starlight.
"It truly is Stone Marrow, quite beautiful," Ancestor Longyan said with slight excitent, "I’ve only seen it in academy atlases, never in reality."
"Only one drop?"
Wang Shouzhe’s heart sank, and then he looked up at the stalactite tip, noticing it also seed sowhat crystalline, like sothing was about to drip out.
Ancestor Longyan took out a Jade Bottle, reverently collected the single drop of Stone Marrow, and handed it to Wang Shouzhe, saying, "Shouzhe, the Stone Marrow is the essence of Earth Vein, even a single drop is extraordinarily valuable. Keep this drop for yourself, it should help you break through your bloodline."
"Wang Lici, why is there only one drop?" Wang Shouzhe asked speechlessly.
Wang Lici blinked, gently touched Wang Shouzhe’s forehead, and said, "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, aren’t you being silly? Because I already took away the others, and shared them with Luqiu and Luojing."
"This drop must have dripped later. Last ti I saw that there was still half a drop hanging above, but it was too high to lick. I suppose this drop is yours, Fourth Uncle."
Wang Shouzhe slapped his forehead, feeling grateful that she was considerate enough to leave one drop. His heart ached, "Lici, when you took it last ti, how big was the bottle?"
"Not big, but the groove was full," Wang Lici said carelessly, "It was too little, each of us only got a couple of sips, and it was gone."
The groove was full? Only two sips per person and it was gone?
Wang Shouzhe felt like he shouldn’t have asked, asking only made him more upset.
"Oh, my Lici truly is blessed," Ancestor Xiaohan comnted from the side, "No matter where she goes, she finds good things to eat, even Stone Marrow can be eaten by the mouthful. No wonder the young won in our family are so impressive."
That hurt, Ancestor.
Subsequently, Wang Shouzhe stared at the stalactite and asked, "Ancestor, if we cut open this rock, could there be more Stone Marrow inside?"
"Shouzhe, don’t exhaust the resources," Ancestor Longyan said, "There might be more drops inside, but ultimately it would destroy this treasure spot. The ergence of Stone Marrow is the essence of Earth Vein gradually brewing, and no one knows where it might appear in the future."
Wang Shouzhe was only joking, how could they casually destroy the family foundation?
