Chapter 19 Four Joys Breakthrough

Daily, traveling back and forth between the valley and the spirit fields, Wang Nannan lived a comfortable life, stretching lazily with the spring breeze.

Green duckweed had sprouted seedlings, covering the earth with green.

Wang Nannan calculated the time and realized it was time to go home.

Riding Sixi out of the spirit field, he didn't return to his own cave this time, but went to the clan leader's cave on the mountain top.

"What's the matter with you coming to me?"

Before Wang Nannan could speak, the clan leader came out on his own accord.

"Clan Leader Great-Grandfather, I missed you."

"Spit it out..."

"I want to pre-draw some contribution points to exchange for spirit stones."

Contribution points within the clan could be exchanged for spirit stones and spirit sand, but not the other way around.

Wang Ming'ai raised his eyes slightly, somewhat puzzled, "You eat, drink, and sleep within the clan, where would you need spirit stones..."

"Hehehe! I want my mother to go to the Zhou family to buy some pills for spirit beasts for Sixi."

The Zhou family was skilled in beast taming, and their spirit beast pills were naturally the best.

"I've roughly calculated that ten acres of green duckweed will mature in seven months, yielding about one thousand five hundred contribution points." Wang Nannan rubbed his hands, wondering if the clan leader would agree.

As for the valley, Wang Nannan had no contribution points. After all, the clan provided resources (mainly spirit rice) before he turned eighteen, and he also studied with Wang Dingru and the other...

"Exchange all of them for spirit stones?"

"Yes! I want to buy a lot at once," Wang Nannan replied.

"Here are one hundred and fifty spirit stones, take them."

Wang Nannan counted carefully, and indeed, he put them into his storage bag.

After saying goodbye to the clan leader, he went straight home this time.

He handed all the spirit stones to his mother, startling Zhou Min.

One hundred and fifty spirit stones was no small amount, enough to buy a lot of good things!

Wang Nannan deliberately made an excuse to ask his mother to help buy pills.

"Buying pills is no problem, but the prices have risen a lot recently."

"Also, what kind of pills do you want? Servant Spirit Pills?"

Zhou Min wanted to ask her son's opinion.

"Servant Spirit Pills can be bought, they can help Sixi grow quickly."

"Mom, are there any pills that enhance the strength of spirit beasts?" Wang Nannan asked.

"There are, but they are relatively expensive and limited in quantity!" Zhou Min replied. This had nothing to do with the beast tide; it was mainly because pills that enhance the strength of spirit beasts were more precious. Moreover, in order to limit other families from competing with their own, the Zhou family had specifically stipulated this.

"Then buy some," Wang Nannan decided. If Sixi was strong, he would also be guaranteed.

"You decide on the other pills, Mom!" His mother came from the Zhou family and definitely knew more about spirit beasts than he did.

Zhou Min accepted the spirit stones and had a plan in mind.

"By the way, where's Dad?" Wang Nannan noticed the problem. He didn't see his father in the cave.

"He went to the demon hunting team again."

...

Ten days later, the clan leader sent a pile of jade bottles to the valley.

Wang Nannan smiled happily, knowing that his mother had asked the clan leader to send them. After all, he had always been spreading the word that he was cultivating with the clan leader.

Wang Nannan checked the bottles one by one, feeling happier and happier.

There was a note.

"Ten bottles of Servant Spirit Pills, eight pills per bottle, totaling eighty spirit stones."

"One bottle of Bloodrage Pills, six pills, used to increase the strength of spirit beasts, totaling sixty spirit stones."

"One Turtle Vein Pill, used to increase the defense of spirit beasts, twenty spirit stones."

"Mom even added ten spirit stones herself," Wang Nannan calculated.

He summoned Sixi and stuffed a Turtle Vein Pill into its mouth.

The Turtle Vein Pill seemed a little unpalatable. Sixi refused to swallow it, but Wang Nannan forced it into its stomach.

"It's good for you. Good medicine tastes bitter!" Wang Nannan patted Sixi's head.

"There's so much more! Bloodrage Pills once every three days, Servant Spirit Pills once a day," Wang Nannan arranged.

Sixi obediently lay beside Wang Nannan, digesting the Turtle Vein Pill, its yellow fur emitting a faint glow.

"Moo!"

Sixi suddenly cried out, and the fur on its body became thicker.

Wang Nannan touched it and found it was more solid.

"Sixi, have you reached the second level of Qi Refining now?" Wang Nannan asked. The improvement of a spirit beast's realm depends on its bloodline, which is different from humans; however, external forces still help its strength increase.

"Moo!" Sixi nodded.

Sixi's realm improvement was something to be happy about. To celebrate, Wang Nannan treated himself to a meal, a whole stewed chicken.

The spring breeze came again, and Wang Nannan looked at the clan territory with some confusion.

"Logically speaking, the cultivators who went out to test spiritual roots should be back now? Why isn't there a single new face?" Wang Nannan murmured to himself as he returned to the valley after visiting relatives.

Could it be that not a single child with spiritual roots was born this year? Although there were records of the clan not having a single child with spiritual roots in a year, that was too rare.

Moreover, several small Qi Refining families had recently been integrated, and the number of mortals had increased. This shouldn't be the case!

Most importantly, his friends were no longer in the clan either. Wang Nannan had asked about this at their homes when he had time, wanting to gather with them, but he was disappointed.

Sixi carried the somewhat worried Wang Nannan into the valley, starting a new day of life.

"Third Grandmother, Sixth Grandfather, do you know where the children in the clan have gone?" Wang Nannan couldn't help but ask the two who were collecting spirit herbs.

Wang Dingru and the other looked stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I mean the cousins of similar age to me in the clan are not in the clan. Do you know where they went?"

Wang Dingru and the other looked at each other, their eyes filled with worry.

"We two are in the valley all year round, how would we know about things outside."

"But you don't have to worry. With the clan leader in charge, they will be fine. Most likely they were taken away by their parents."

Wang Nannan glanced at the two thoughtfully, without continuing to speak. He clearly saw their parents when he went to find his friends...

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, life had to go on. After all, he couldn't access many things at the moment, and worrying was useless.

Stepping with footwork, streaks of palm energy struck out, "flying all over the sky" in the valley, but accurately avoiding all spirit herbs.

The spells were constantly advancing and already had enough power.

"It's a pity there are no opponents. If someone practiced with me for a long time, I should improve faster," Wang Nannan muttered to himself. He had this consideration when he went to find his friends, but unfortunately...

"However, the cultivation speed of spells is indeed much faster than that of cultivation techniques. Even without relying on a golden finger, they can be cultivated to the proficient stage within a few months."

"If it were in life-and-death battles, the effect might be better, but unfortunately that's not suitable for me. Being able to rely on the family to exist for generations, naturally I won't risk a fight. Hiding behind the scenes is the best solution."

Wang Nannan didn't stop, but instead practiced more vigorously, casting four kinds of spells in rotation, connecting them very smoothly.
