In his past life, the unexpected death of Fang Han's girlfriend was like a sharp dagger, piercing his heart deeply.

Even though he later met many women, he considered those relationships nothing more than casual flings, devoid of any genuine affection.

This is precisely why his Dao heart could never be fully realized, like a puzzle piece missing a corner, never able to be complete.

But in this life, everything seems to be completely different.

"Mr. Fang, thank you so much for today. You helped us and saved our family. We really don't know what we would have done without you."

Ma Kun suddenly became serious and spoke solemnly to Fang Han.

He knew very well that Fang Han was no longer the naive and ignorant boy he once was, and there was now a world of difference between them.

This difference in their abilities made him unconsciously feel a greater sense of awe when facing Fang Han.

“Ma Kun, you’re being too polite with me. This is my first time back in Tianyuan County, and I came straight here as soon as I entered the county town. This is enough to prove that no matter how my identity changes, in front of you, I am still the same person I always was.”

Fang Han smiled and looked sincerely at Ma Kun, then said, "Between you and me, we will always be brothers."

"Good brother!"

Ma Kun was taken aback at first, then a bright smile spread across his face, and he laughed heartily.

Ma Guyuan, Xiao Lan, and Ma Rou were all overjoyed to see this scene, their faces beaming with happiness.

Especially Ma Rou, who is at the age where she is just beginning to experience romantic feelings.

Today, Fang Han was like a god descending to earth, rescuing her and her family from dire straits. Her girlish heart had already secretly fallen for Fang Han.

Previously, she had always treated Fang Han like a brother, but now, some different thoughts were quietly growing in her heart.

When she looked at Fang Han, her eyes and brows were filled with undisguised love, and her cheeks flushed with a shy blush, like a blooming peach blossom.

Fang Han had just finished a bowl of steaming, fragrant wontons with relish. He gently set down the porcelain bowl, looked sincerely at Ma Guyuan and Xiao Lan, and asked in a gentle voice, "Uncle Ma, Aunt Xiao, what have you done for each other in your lives?"

Ma Guyuan was slightly taken aback, then a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said, "Fang Han, you are not an outsider. Since you asked, I will not hide anything from you and will tell you my plans."

“Our Ma family has been rooted in Tianyuan County for generations, making a living as small merchants. In my generation, I worked hard every day without daring to slack off in the slightest, while your aunt was virtuous and managed the household very well. In this way, my husband and I worked together to slowly accumulate some wealth. Later, we gritted our teeth and sent Ma Kun to the Longyuan Sword Mansion.”

"Because we know in our hearts that in this dog-eat-dog world, the strong are the masters, and the weak are like weeds on the roadside, trampled on by everyone. Even if we can accumulate some wealth, once we encounter those powerful cultivators, they can easily take away our hard-earned wealth and lives."

“Now that you have become a powerful figure, your aunt and I have no hope of achieving that in this lifetime. My greatest wish now is that Ma Kun and Ma Rou can embark on the true path of cultivation. If they could be fortunate enough to enter a sect, that would be even better. However, with their talents, it is simply a pipe dream for them to enter a prestigious sect like the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect, the Limitless Sect, or the Azure Profound Sect. It is simply impossible.”

"I only hope that they can join some small sects and receive their protection. In this way, their next generation can be stronger than them. Then I will be satisfied and die without regret."

After saying this, Ma Guyuan sighed softly, a sigh filled with both his hopes for his children's future and his helplessness in the face of reality.

Xiao Lan also sighed softly, her eyes full of worry, and said, "Talent is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be forced. Moreover, a family like ours simply cannot afford those expensive pills, so we cannot help Ma Kun and Ma Rou break through their cultivation bottlenecks."

Upon hearing this, Fang Han's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, and he said, "Uncle Ma, Aunt Xiao, if it were before, I might not have been able to help you much. But now, the situation is different, and I can truly guide Ma Kun and Ma Rou onto the true path of cultivation."

As he spoke, Fang Han slowly took out an exquisite pill bottle from his bosom, gently opened the cap, and instantly, two pills emitting a soft light appeared before everyone's eyes.

These two pills are Body Tempering Pills, and both are of the highest grade.

Although the Body Tempering Pill is considered one of the most common pills, once it reaches the highest grade, it becomes a completely different story.

It should be noted that, let alone the ordinary alchemists in Tianyuan County, even Master Huang, who is known as the "number one alchemist outside the three major sects," can only refine high-grade body tempering pills and cannot refine top-grade body tempering pills at all.

In fact, no one in the three major sects has the ability to refine a top-grade Body Tempering Pill.

Because top-quality items represent perfection and even contain legendary mysterious power.

Although there is a category of "top-grade" pills, there has never been a top-grade pill in the history of Tianyuan County.

Ma Rou stared wide-eyed at the fragrant pill in Fang Han's hand, its aroma refreshing and invigorating. She quickly asked, "This...is this a Body Tempering Pill?"
