Chapter 5 (2/2)

This was a lot of money.

Without a hundred fingernail-sized primeval stones, it was impossible to buy them.

In the past, the family only gave him ten primeval stones a month, why were they so generous this time?

“Father, how much did you earn? You’re so generous.” Fang Yuan was a little embarrassed.

Father Fang waved his hand. “We’re all family, don’t stand on ceremony.”

Fang Yuan could only accept it with a smile.

They were family anyway, so there was no need to be pretentious.

Then, Mother Fang pulled Fang Yuan to the backyard to admire the flowers and talk about the trivial matters of the family over the years. Father Fang occasionally interjected and asked about Fang Yuan’s situation in the sect.

The efficiency of his family was very high.

During dinner that night, Fang Yuan’s big brother, Fang Cheng, rushed back with the things that Fang Yuan needed. He packed a whole cart full of them.

“Second brother, you’re finally back.”

Fang Cheng was a mature and refined person. He sat down beside Fang Yuan and asked jokingly, “How is it? Did you get married in the sect? Or do you have any seniors or juniors that you fancy?”

Fang Yuan shook his head and laughed: “Who would be so blind to take a fancy to me?”

“Sigh, what do you mean? My younger brother is handsome and his family background is not bad. Before he went to cultivate, those who came to ask for marriage had already broken through the door. Would there be a lack of female cultivators who admire you in the Gu Immortal Sect?”

Fang Cheng whispered beside him: “Quickly find someone of equal status to get married with and have children. In the future, father and mother won’t need to urge me to carry on the lineage every day.”

“…” Fang Yuan was speechless.

Mother Fang served the two children some dishes and smiled gently. “Don’t just focus on chatting. Eat more.”

“I’m happy today. Why don’t we have a few drinks?”

Father Fang gestured for the servant girl to pour wine for the two young masters. At the same time, he glanced at the two children. “Don’t get drunk.”

“Don’t worry, Father.”

Fang Cheng’s interest was piqued. “Fang Yuan, I have been dealing with the merchants outside for so many years. I’ve long practiced the technique of not getting drunk after a thousand cups. Let’s have a match?”

“Come!”

“Let’s go!”

However, when Fang Cheng drank the eighth cup, he was already in a daze. He could not even speak clearly.

Fang Yuan’s body had been repeatedly tempered by his spirit essence. His resistance to alcohol was not something that an ordinary person could compare to. He did not even feel a hint of drunkenness as he drank Fang Cheng, who was his elder brother, to the ground.

In the end, he had to feed Fang Cheng with the sobering medicine produced by the sect to help his elder brother regain consciousness.

“Eh?” Fang Cheng was still a little confused. He looked at Fang Yuan and asked, “Continue?”

Father Fang’s voice suddenly rang out, “Eat.”

Fang Cheng quivered. He immediately put down his wine glass and ate obediently.

The meal lasted until very late. The family members returned to their rooms one after another to rest. Fang Yuan was still full of energy. He pulled on the worldly treasures that Fang Cheng had brought and began to cultivate.

The ingredients were a little complicated, so Fang Yuan decided to boil them all in hot water to make a medicinal bath. He took off his clothes and soaked in it.

The Moonlight Gu and the Bloodthirsty Gu also crawled out of his acupoints one after another, absorbing the nutrients in the bath.

Before long, a series of notifications rang in Fang Yuan’s mind.

[Your Moonlight Gu is soaked in precious herbs, cultivation efficiency increased by 97%!]

[Your Bloodthirsty Gu has been replenished with high-grade beast blood, cultivation efficiency increased by 94%!]

Fang Yuan revealed a satisfied expression.

Although the efficiency was not perfect, it was enough for cultivation.

However, at this moment, Fang Yuan seemed to hear his father’s sigh in the neighboring courtyard in the quiet environment.

He could not help but look sideways and concentrate, listening carefully..
