“My ambitions don’t lie within the confines of the Medicine Sect. If I were to spend my days planting herbs and refining pills there, I’d feel deeply aggrieved,” Kang Shi asserted. “I’m your son, and I aim to achieve something significant.”

“…”

“Moreover, neither the First Elder nor Kang Yan can tolerate me, and the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race is no exception. If I join the Medicine Sect, trouble is bound to find me sooner or later. In that case, why should I go, Father?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.

Kang Li nodded, touched by his son’s sentiments.

He felt content with his son’s mature decision-making.

Children were not naive; they knew how to navigate their circumstances and make prudent choices. Kang Li found solace in his son’s ability to plan for himself.

“You’re absolutely right. If you can’t ensure your own safety, it’s better to stay outside the clan. Perhaps that would be the safer option,” Kang Li acknowledged with emotion.

While Kang Li excelled in cultivation, he considered himself a failure as the Clan Leader, having landed in such predicaments.

Gu Chaoyan sensed Kang Li’s overthinking and decided to steer the conversation in a different direction.

“Father, come and take a look at this pill. It suits you quite well.”

“…”

“In addition to slowly detoxifying the poison, you also need to focus on your cultivation. After taking this pill, your cultivation speed will accelerate, aiding in a successful breakthrough. With a few days remaining before the clan competition, Father, dedicate yourself to cultivation and handle the clan matters wisely during this period,” Gu Chaoyan advised.

“…”

“I won’t hold you back either,” Kang Shi declared confidently.

For Kang Li, it had been years since he experienced such a hot-blooded feeling, reminiscent of when he aspired to become the Clan Leader. He accepted the pill without ceremony, then turned to Kang Shi. “Don’t worry, Father will arrange a good future for you.”

Kang Shi considered responding but held his retort. If this gesture brought his father joy, so be it.

“You need to keep a close eye on Kang Yan and the First Elder. Their suggestion for you to join the Medicine Sect indicates they harbor concerns about your pill refinement skills. Now that we’ve rejected them, it’s uncertain they won’t contemplate other actions,” Kang Li cautioned.

In the confines of the clan, Kang Li felt constrained and incapable of addressing many issues, so he encouraged Kang Shi to prioritize self-care.

Feeling a sense of personal failure, Kang Li departed promptly to attend to clan matters.

Once alone, Kang Shi surveyed the room and the various items within.

Over time, he had accumulated numerous possessions through pill refining. Consequently, he scaled back exchanges and spent more time refining pills for personal use.

Now, the pills were nearing completion.

After contemplating for a moment, he decided it was time to prepare.

Having acquired many crystal Spirit Stones earlier, he intended to utilize them. The sword he forged in the Supreme Sect would also find its purpose here.

A blade crafted from hundred-year-old black iron and crystal Spirit Stones possessed the hardness comparable to a mid-grade weapon—sufficient for use in the Anicca Clan and the Ice Flame Continent.
