Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1377: Recent Developments

The experiences of Qi Hong were something the family had not gone through before. The Medicine Sect had no qualms about recruiting loose cultivators, making their family a special existence in the Xuantian Sect.

Qi Hong continued, "I really didn’t want to be with them, so I simply spent Spirit Stones to go to the Alchemy Room to practice alchemy and cultivation.

During the assessment, I entered the Inner Sect, which was a bit better since I could have a courtyard of my own.

Six months later, there was an alchemy competition in the sect. I won and caught the eye of my master.

Mother, I really didn’t want to take a master at first, but after meeting him, I changed my mind. He treated me so well and taught me a lot of his accumulated experience."

Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, "My son has met a good master."

Qi Hong nodded, "Isn’t that so? Mother, when you see my master, you’ll understand. He’s truly a very good person."

Su Yuanyuan thought, "You know me; even if you say your master is good, I have to see for myself."

Tan Shaoting gave his son many Spirit Plants, some of which they had collected, with a large portion coming from Bai Fengjiao’s storage ring.

Qi Hong was genuinely surprised. His parents weren’t very knowledgeable about these, but Qi Hong knew, "Dad, there’s even Immortal Grass, and the vitality plant I’ll plant here with mom."

The couple hadn’t looked at these Spirit Plants at all. Only after hearing from their son did they realize Bai Fengjiao’s collection was quite extensive.

The collection of the Second Elder of the Independent Practitioner Alliance was quite rich too. Qi Hong planted many, making his mother’s place truly abundant in precious Spirit Plants.

"Dad, you’re now at the Golden Core Cultivation. Are you going to participate in the ranking competition?"

Tan Shaoting nodded, "I’m heading directly back from your eldest brother to prepare for the Xuantian Sect’s selection competition. Your mother will participate too."

"Dad, I’ll be participating too. I’m currently at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, competing in the Qi Refinement Realm."

"Hmm, be careful. Don’t neglect your swordsmanship."

Qi Hong nodded, "Dad, I know, don’t worry. Being alone outside makes one even more cautious.

Our Medicine Sect doesn’t focus on combat power, and someone at my level is already considered quite proficient."

Tan Shaoting nodded, "There’s not much danger in the Medicine Sect. If you fall into a trap, it only shows that you’re too silly, foolish.

Outside, openly, all cultivators will give face to the Medicine Sect, but in private, they won’t hold back."

Qi Hong solemnly nodded again, "Dad, I’ll remember that."

Su Yuanyuan listened with a smile, pulling out a Thunder Control Talisman she had drawn from her space, "I drew this, you keep it yourself."

The couple kept giving things to their son, fearing he’d lack something.

By the time they emerged from the space, it was already the morning of the next day. Qi Hong’s Sound Transmission Talisman rang.

"Little Junior Brother, Master invites your family to our peak as guests."

Qi Hong replied with a sentence.

"Dad, mom, two brothers, let’s go and see the place where I cultivate."

Meanwhile, yesterday, when Luo Yuchen and the others returned to their residence, they found the master waiting in the Alchemy Room.

"Where is your little junior brother?"

"Master, the little junior brother’s parents and brothers are here, they’re at the sect’s workshop, and he went over."

Dan Yang Daojun responded with a hum. "Tell your little junior brother to bring his family here."

"Yes, Master."

Dan Yang Daojun left. He was curious about what kind of parents could raise such a child as his little disciple.

He was the most Spiritual Energy-filled disciple he had ever met, destined to become a top talent in alchemy.

Su Yuanyuan knew they could meet her son’s master today. "Qi Hong, what kind of gift should I bring for the meeting?"

Qi Hong thought for a moment, really unsure what the master might lack.

"Mom, just bring a Vermilion Fruit. There are Vermilion Fruits in this realm, but they’re quite rare."

A master of such cultivation wouldn’t care much for ordinary gifts. Of course, mom’s good things are beyond what the master can imagine, but those can’t be taken out.

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Wouldn’t that be too little?"

"Mom, our family is just loose cultivators. Given your and dad’s cultivation, the Vermilion Fruit is already the best gift."

"Alright, I understand."

The family packed a few things and then left the rented courtyard.

At the entrance of the Medicine Sect, they were stopped, and Qi Hong presented his Identity Jade Token.

"Patriarch, please come in."

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan looked at their second brother and quietly said, "Your rank is so high?"

"In the future, you two will be the same in the Xuantian Sect."

The younger ones laughed happily, "Even being called Patriarch, we don’t have gifts for them."

Qi Hong was amused by his younger brothers’ words, those little guys.

They soon arrived at the Third-Alchemy Peak. "Mom and dad, we have a lot of disciples on the Third-Alchemy Peak. Besides the six of us apprentices, there are five Hall Masters, all Golden Core cultivators."

"Second Brother, your place is quite cozy."

"Of course, this is the Medicine Sect, and our Third-Alchemy Peak has the most Spirit Plants."

Luo Yuchen and his three senior brothers and sisters got the news that the little junior brother was bringing his family over and hurried down to greet them.

The five Hall Masters of the Third-Alchemy Peak also received the news. They were very curious about Tan Qihong, who was taken as a closed-door disciple by Dan Yang Daojun, but without the Peak Master’s notification, they couldn’t readily go over.

Hearing that the family were all loose cultivators, they curiously scanned them with Divine Sense.

Tan Shaoting and Su Yuanyuan’s Divine Sense detected scouts several times, clearly aware of the Divine Sense sweep, but Su Yuanyuan held back, thinking this is where her son will live in the future, she endured it.

"Welcome, both of you." At this moment, Luo Yuchen and the others found it hard to determine how to address them.

"Thank you all." Tan Shaoting nodded with a smile.

The family reached the top of the peak, with Luo Yuchen and his peers leading the way directly into the main hall.

Once inside, the family respectfully greeted Dan Yang Daojun, who was sitting above.

"Junior greets Daojun Dan Yang."

"No need for such formalities, please sit."

Tan Shaoting presented a Jade Box, "Daojun, this is a token of our family’s appreciation. Thank you for your guidance and care towards Qi Hong."

Qi Hong took it over and happily placed it on the table in front of his master.

Dan Yang Daojun glanced at his little disciple, noting how lively the child became once his parents arrived.

"You’re too polite; I’m Qi Hong’s master, just not his biological parent. Aside from that, my care for him is the same as yours."

The couple bowed, and Su Yuanyuan could sense the sincerity in Dan Yang Daojun’s words. Indeed, he cherished talent and cared for Qi Hong.

Dan Yang Daojun was also quite taken aback by Tan Shaoting and Su Yuanyuan; they seemed too young. It was as if they had their disciples when they were just teenagers.

Dan Yang was surprised, such a young female cultivator having children so early, and yet her cultivation remained unaffected? He observed that the couple’s cultivation was both extremely solid.
