707: Chapter 473 707: Chapter 473 The Chief of Staff knew this great news, and of course, had to find his father.
The moment for their family’s Zhenxing had come; how could he not share it with his father?
The husband hurried out, just as he was about to take a photo with his wife, he intended to ask her where she was going so late!
The Chief of Staff waved his hand at his wife, preventing her from asking.
The Chief of Staff’s wife could only enter the living room to ask her son what exactly had happened.
“Feiyang, why have you come back so late?
Has something big happened?”
“Mother, don’t be anxious.
Please sit here.
Wait until father has brought grandfather out, then I will explain everything to you.”
Tang Feiyang spoke to his mother with a smile, to soothe her heart.
His mother was also a cultivator, the junior sister of his father.
She had thought to keep the remaining six Pills for herself, but seeing her kind mother,
He made another decision to also give two to his mother for her cultivation.
The Pills could be gone, but he could ask others to make more.
Though, he might have to agree to some conditions from them then.
For the sake of their rapid growth in cultivation, he had no choice.
There was also the grandmother in the family who was a cultivator.
Thus, now there were only two Pills left, and fortunately, he hadn’t thought of his brothers and sisters; if he did not keep it a secret from them, there wouldn’t have been so many to share this time.
He could only wait until the future to share with more people in the family.
When the Chief of Staff went to find his father, he ran into his mother and had to bring both his father and mother to his courtyard.
The two elderly who were in seclusion thought it was just their grandson coming to share some good news, perhaps thinking he was going to get married—a matter of such importance rightfully involved them for consultation.
Tang Feiyang gathered his grandparents, and his parents in his parents’ living room, and with eager looks in their eyes, he began to explain today’s events.
The Chief of Staff knew that his son had put the family’s Alchemy Prescription and the medicinal materials owned by the family at risk by revealing them to another team in order for them to obtain better resources.
If the other party wasn’t trustworthy, they could potentially ruin their family by severing their access to the medicinal materials, and their scarce resources wouldn’t even be sufficient to concoct Pills.
The son’s action was risky, revealing their family secret to others.
If the other party couldn’t keep the secret, not only would they not help concoct Pills, but they might also take the medicinal materials for themselves, leaving them with nothing but tears.
But the expression shown by the son at the moment suggested they had won their wager.
Ye Tian and his father truly deserved to be Generals from the Guardian God Family, known for their integrity and keeping their word.
It seemed the Alchemist’s character could be trusted.
Tang Feiyang told his grandparents and parents that he had asked Ye Tian to help find someone to make Pills, and just a moment ago, Ye Tian had returned with ten Pills.
Their family all practiced Confucianism Tao, and they knew that some medicinal materials had run out and that the effects of the ones they had weren’t very good.
If all the necessary materials could be gathered without seeking others’ help, they could also invite other Alchemists to assist with concocting Pills.
When they heard that ten Supreme Elixirs had been made, the family was deeply moved with excitement.
In the Cultivation World, the price of a single Supreme Elixir was exorbitant, and no amount of money could easily buy one.
During the most prosperous times of their family, their ancestors could perform Alchemy, ascend to the heavens, and the family had a supply of Supreme Elixirs.
In these thousands of years where Ascension was impossible, each generation was less potent than the last, and the older generation passed away.
Without the supply of Supreme Elixirs, slowly their family lost its supreme Alchemists and to their current descendants, not even Alchemy was known.
“Son, quickly bring out the Pills to have a look,” the Chief of Staff said, his expression excited, far from his usual steady and serious demeanor of a Great Scholar.
He looked like a boy who had won a prize, so eager in his joy.
Tang Feiyang realized for the first time that his father could show such emotion.
Not only his father, but his grandparents and mother also had similarly excited expressions, all sharing his emotional excitement.
He took out two bottles of Pills from his bosom.
Just one glance at the Pills was enough to notice that they were slightly different from the ones described in their Alchemy Prescription.
He also heard from Ye Tian that the Alchemist had noticed the incompleteness of his medicinal materials and used some other herbs with the same healing effects to produce even better Pills with enhanced effects.
The Chief of Staff and his father stepped forward, opened the bottles, and as the lids of the Pills were removed, the fragrance of the Pills filled the room.
It was so invigorating that it refreshed both body and soul.
He thought it was just an illusion, unaware of what kind of Pills these were or even their names after being improved.
So he looked carefully at the medicine bottle, and the Chief of Staff saw the characters on the bottle he was holding: “Nourishing Soul Pill!”
“Is this the Nourishing Soul Pill that sells for a sky-high price in the Cultivation World?”
He was ecstatic, and his gaze shifted to the bottle in his father’s hand.
His father also saw the characters on his bottle: “Life Spirit Pill.”
“Is this a Pill that can create a Spiritual Root in a body that doesn’t have one?”
The old man was agitated, as they cultivated in the way of Confucianism Tao and did not possess Spiritual Roots.
They relied solely on their unique study methods, the ability to practice literature, and the methods to practice ancient martial arts.
By reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, they too could ascend.
But if a “Life Spirit Pill” could generate Spiritual Roots within their inherently rootless bodies, their cultivation would advance much more rapidly.
Their ancestors had clarified in their teachings that those who consumed such a Pill would cultivate faster, reaching the flight capabilities of cultivators in the Cultivation World and making use of Magical Treasures to fly.
This represented a breakthrough for them, transforming into people with Spiritual Roots, no longer dependent on horses as their means of transport.
Like those in the Cultivation World who used swords and various Flying Treasures, they too could fly.
Soon, they would soar through the lands and skies just like the cultivators of the Cultivation World.
Faster and more formidable than the practitioners of Ancient Martial Arts.
Tang Feiyang had only heard of such legends; during their initial learning, their masters would explain the Pills and talents possessed at the zenith of their family’s era.
All they could do now was look up to those tales in longing and fantasy, never expecting to see the day when their dreams would materialize.
“Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, having these Pills is just wonderful; each of us can take one, reaching the state of Yang Soul and generating a Spiritual Root.”
Thus spoke Tang Feiyang, who as a grandson and son, shared the Pills with them the moment he obtained them, he didn’t selfishly keep them all to himself, although not the entire family could use them.
Only five people had the joy of sharing this fortune, and they cherished it dearly, hoping for a breakthrough.
Following Tang Feiyang’s intentions, each member there received a distinct Pill.
They then safeguarded their Pills in their own medicine containers.
“Feiyang, we won’t say more.
You don’t need to worry about the academy, just focus on your closed-door breakthrough at home.”
The Chief of Staff hadn’t even the time to arrange his team’s affairs or allow his son to be delayed; what mattered was capability, not family authority.
They feared no one, should they break through, did they?
The Chief of Staff knew at this moment that Ye Tian had returned and the safety of the Imperial City no longer required their family’s concern.
After sharing the Pills with his family and learning they had received such potent Pills aimed at breaking through and generating Spiritual Roots in their previously rootless bodies,
he too shared his family’s sentiment; should they really develop Spiritual Roots, they could cultivate the teachings of Confucianism Tao passed down by their ancestors, merging Immortal cultivation and Confucian cultivation.
Tang Feiyang returned to the courtyard he seldom resided in, hanging a “In Seclusion” sign on the door.
He entered his residence, which, though not soundproofed or defensively warded by Formations like those in the Cultivation World, was cleaned monthly by maids and protected by servants.
Seeing the young master return and the seclusion sign hung, everyone prudently refrained from asking any questions.
Tang Feiyang went into his living quarters, where his family had their own methods of ensuring privacy through secret passages and mechanisms leading to an underground chamber for cultivation.
He opened the secret passage and descended into the basement, unlocking door after door.
Finally, Tang Feiyang entered a chamber furnished with a bed and sitting mats, a place only he could access.
Unfamiliar intruders risked death, should they not understand the mechanisms.
Only someone knowledgeable about these traps and intent on attacking him would be able to enter.
