Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2568: Chapter 67: Shouzhe Returns Home! Eating Tathagata Buddha Fruit (Part 2)

Unfortunately, to him, the senior sister was like the phoenix in the sky, while he was merely a beast on the ground. He knew that the senior sister’s heart was solely with Senior Shou Ye, so this admiration could only be deeply buried in his heart.

Later, when he was in his eighties and at the seventh level of the Spirit Platform Realm, he married a local young junior sister who had always admired him. Now, after more than a hundred years, only his Spirit Platform Realm wife had long since exhausted her lifespan and become a heap of yellow earth.

The small family he and the junior sister established independently could barely be called a Tianren Family, with family members exceeding fifty, over a third of whom work at the Alchemy Department.

Looking back today inevitably evokes a sense of bittersweet nostalgia.

“Alas~”

With a shallow sigh, Li Mingtang quickly buried all his emotions deep within his heart and began to focus on the work at hand.

He was no longer a bachelor capable of simply looking after himself; an entire family counted on him as the “Old Ancestor of the Celestial being” to steer the way.

On the other side.

After bidding farewell to Li Mingtang, Dongfang Lingrou entered the headquarters building of the Alchemy Department.

Using the flying platform, she flew directly to the top floor. Upon reaching the alchemy room door, she was informed that Old Ancestor Shou Ye was in the midst of alchemy and had reached a crucial moment of pill formation.

Dongfang Lingrou did not rush and found a sofa in the waiting area outside the Pill Master’s door to sit down. She patiently waited, slowly brewing a pot of Spiritual Tea using the tea set on the table.

This wait lasted a full four hours before Wang Shouye, slightly fatigued, emerged from the alchemy room. She stepped forward to greet him and offered a cup of Spiritual Tea at just the right temperature: “Master Shou Ye, you’ve worked hard.”

“Lingrou, for serving tea, you can let the secretary handle it.” Wang Shouye accepted the tea and led her into the office, smiling, “You’re one of my executive vice presidents, meant for big undertakings.”

“Were you crafting the Reborn Immortal Pill again this time?” Dongfang Lingrou smiled, sidestepping the topic.

“Indeed.” Wang Shouye replied with some distress, “Even with assistance from my Master, Dao Ding, and the [Red Mist Immortal Flame], refining Eighth Grade pills is still quite taxing, especially the Metamorphosis Pill, which is the most troublesome. I lose every time I refine it! My fourth brother insists on sending large quantities of Metamorphosis Pill materials!”

He paused before his brows relaxed: “But this batch had good luck; four pills formed! It’s just a small loss~~”

Producing four Metamorphosis Pills from one batch is nothing compared to the formidable Pill Masters of the Sacred Domain.

However, in the Divine Martial World, this level was already considered the first tier in alchemy, and with the help of a True Immortal, one could even attempt Grade 9 Dan medicine.

Yet throughout Wang Shouye’s life, his pressure had never been small. Starting from beginner pills up to today, he had never profited, always incurring losses.

He has reason to believe that if he can produce Reborn Immortal Pills without losses, his fourth brother will arrange for him to start crafting the Grade 9 Infinite Pill! At that time, the losses will inevitably be even greater~~

Wang Shouye’s premonition is correct.

Currently, Wang Shouzhe has begun to amass materials for Grade 10 Pill, and even Grade 11 Pill materials have been scheduled. When the time comes, Wang Shouzhe will undoubtedly give his brother a surprise.

“Master Shouzhe surely has his plans.” Dongfang Lingrou smiled in comfort, “By the way, I received notice earlier that Master Shouzhe is back and wants you to meet him.”

“My fourth brother is back?!”

Upon hearing the news, the calm and composed Wang Shouye immediately stood up excitedly.

He anxiously downed the cup of Spiritual Tea in his hand and hurriedly walked out: “Alright, alright, it’s been decades since I’ve seen my fourth brother, I really miss him. I also need to ask him how many Spiritual Medicines are coming in the future?”

“Master Shou Ye, there’s one more piece of news,” Dongfang Lingrou hastily called out to him, “The Imperial Daughter Luo Jia from Da Zhou is also nearly at Xinping Town, saying she wants to discuss cooperation regarding Spiritual Medicine cultivation with you.”

Wang Shouye paused his steps, waved his hand, and said: “You entertain Luo Jia first, I’ll go see my fourth brother.”

With that, he flew straight up from the terrace and disappeared in a blink.

As she watched him leave far into the distance, Dongfang Lingrou also let out a deep sigh, a touch of melancholy passing through her gaze.

…

At the same time.

In Wang Shouzhe’s small courtyard.

Despite the years, the layout of the small courtyard remained like it did back then; only some varieties of Spirit Plant were added, the strange flowers and exotic plants within the courtyard changed, yet it still brimmed with vibrant greenery, teeming with life, with various Spirit Flowers blooming year-round.

However, upon learning of Wang Shouzhe’s return, younger generations from the clan came in droves to pay their respects, only to face a closed door.

A sign hung above the courtyard gate at the moment, inscribed with: “Journey fatigued, please do not disturb, need half a month to settle emotions.”

A large group of younger clan members stood at the door, exchanging puzzled glances.

“Old Ancestor Grandpa is already in the advanced stage of Divine Power Territory, getting tired from just taking a boat and flying carriage?” Wang Baosheng came eagerly to see Wang Shouzhe, but now he felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over him, losing all enthusiasm, murmuring and complaining, “I’ve already drafted a comprehensive plan for the family’s future development, just waiting for him to sign off!”

As the years have passed, Wang Baosheng, now in his forties, has grown into a tall, handsome, and exceptional young man. Yet at this moment, the traces of confusion in his gaze, and his intent to call out at the door, fully revealed his straight-shooting, thick-headed nature.
