Like Old Liu's grandma, who is over a hundred years old and still lively and energetic... well, this adjective was used by Sixth Brother himself, partly because of Old Liu's support.
Compared to the enormous resources needed for his own breakthrough, the support he received from his family was just a drop in the ocean.
"Hey, you're only in your forties, not old at all. Those who are at the Mountain and Sea realms all start at fifty. I'll help you find a suitable cultivation method and give you some pills. I won't say a lot, but you still have a chance to become a mid-level or even high-level martial artist."
Shen Qian laughed and said, "And after Teacher helps Mom recover, you can also train with her, just as a form of exercise and a way to relax."
"Okay, I'll give it a try!" Shen Liang agreed readily when he heard that it made sense.
Seeing the light return to his father's eyes, Shen Qian smiled as well.
...
Upon returning to Jingcheng, Shen Qian stayed home obediently for three days. Shen Liang and Wang Xiaojuan seemed to have a premonition of something, and during those three days, they canceled all their business and spent two happy days together as a family of three... and Dao Jiu.
Before going to the suburbs, he also took his parents to a farmhouse in the suburbs.
In this era, farmhouses were pure luxury. There were only three or two in the entire Jingcheng. Although they were all very close to Jingcheng and within the protection zone, they were not something that ordinary people could operate.
The average cost per person for a day's visit is around 50,000 yuan.
The orchard alone, with its dozen or so kinds of fresh fruit that customers could pick at will, opened the eyes of Shen Liang and Wang Xiaojuan.
On the morning of the fourth day, Shen went to the school first.
After returning from school, Shen Qian had just stepped out of her bedroom door after packing some luggage when she saw Shen Liang sitting in the living room waiting for her.
"Are you leaving?" Shen Liang's expression was complicated.
It was a mixture of joy at the thought of his son growing up and leaving home, and a well-hidden reluctance, along with some worries.
"Hmm." Shen Qian nodded, looked around but didn't see Wang Xiaojuan, and asked curiously, "Where's Mom?"
"She was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back her tears, so she went to the training class early in the morning."
"Is it really necessary? I'll definitely come back once more before I go to university," Shen Qian said helplessly.
"But no matter what, you're spending less and less time at home now, and it will only get less in the future."
Shen Liang sighed, then asked, "Have you filled out your college application? Where are you going?"
Shen Liang could guess that Shen Qian went to school in the morning to fill out his college application.
With his current academic achievements, he could choose any university in China or even the world.
“Go to Jiangzhou, to the military.” Shen Qian didn’t hide anything.
Shen Liang's expression became even more complicated. "You really want to join the army... then I'll hold off on telling your mother for now."
"Okay, I'm off then. I reckon I'll be away for about a month this time, so I'll leave Mom in your care."
After saying goodbye to Shen Liang, Shen Qian led Dao Jiu out of the Happiness Community, bypassed the Zhuangyuan Archway which was still popular with tourists, and headed straight for the Tower of Babel.
The idea of going out and gaining experience came to me right after the college entrance exam. All universities don't start the semester until after September, and if I just spend this time monotonously lifting weights, it would be too boring.
Shen Qian knew that his weakness was not in cultivation; he needed more knowledge to broaden his experience and improve his character.
However, before going out to have fun, there were a few things to settle, so before going out, I planned to stay at the Tower of Babel for a few days.
For example, the Dao stone in my hand.
The matter of how to handle the hundred-pound stone was carefully considered in the days leading up to the sinking.
Currently, there are four options.
First, selling them publicly at a large-scale martial arts treasure auction through Shi Dingyan's channels should be the most profitable method, but it is also extremely risky.
This is equivalent to confronting Duke Yanshan head-on.
There's practically no way to hide it; as soon as these hundred-pound stones appear on the market, Lord Yanshan will definitely find out.
And there is no way to defend oneself.
Even if a king or nobleman wants to be your enemy, he or she doesn't need any reason at all.
Second, you can directly hand them over to the Hall of Hundred Kings in exchange for contribution points.
According to the price, one hundred catties of Dao stone can be exchanged for some contribution points. What does that mean?
That unwanted Qilin egg is priced at 9999 contribution points.
This means that if you give the Dao Stone to the Hundred Kings Palace before sinking, you can get a legendary divine beast egg in return.
This is a living, breathing three billion in wealth.
From this perspective, the system has indeed pulled off a major stunt this time, which explains why the Yanshan Guild was so enraged that they lost their composure...
Yes, Shen Qian had already learned roughly what happened in Beidu that day from Wei Sijian.
Third, keep it for yourself, and make a plan when you are able to set up the Heaven-Seizing Array or explain the other uses of the Enlightenment Stone.
But this choice is also foolish because it does not conform to the timeliness and maximum value of resource utilization.
Moreover, there are many variables.
Fourth, directly hand over the Dao Stone to the big boss Gao.
The fact that the Dao Stone cannot be used before sinking does not mean that even a powerful figure cannot.
However, this raises two questions: first, how will the powerful Gao react after learning that he has stolen the Dao Stone from Plum Garden; and second, whether he can actually benefit from it.
After much thought, the only options available before sinking are actually two and four.
Upon further reflection, I ruled out option two as well.
The reason is actually quite simple: selling to the Hundred Kings Palace also carries risks.
That would be tantamount to admitting to the Hundred Kings Palace that he was the "thief," and even if others didn't know, the Hundred Kings Palace itself would definitely know.
