NOVEL NEXT Chapter 597: Reaching the Peak 6 (4,000 words)
The reason why children of Tan Shuangshuang's age are not allowed to have Spiritual Pearls is also valid; one reason is that using Spiritual Pearls for cultivation requires reaching the Martial Master Level, and children like Tan Shuangshuang are not yet at a level to use them. Moreover, Spiritual Pearls are precious, and very few are genuinely willing to use them for cultivation.
Another reason is that the value of Spiritual Pearls is too great. Holding even one is like holding a fortune. The currency of this world is copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins. A thousand copper coins equal one silver coin, one hundred silver coins equal one gold coin, and ten thousand gold coins can exchange for one Spiritual Pearl. Many poor families may never see a single Spiritual Pearl in their lifetime.
This time, the Wu Family has truly bled heavily; these thousand Spiritual Pearls are no small number. This also indirectly proves that although the Wu Family is lively and constantly scheming, they do not dare to really cross the Tan Family's line.
To offer so many things simply due to a rumor shows just how unprincipled such despicable characters can be. These leech-like enemies hidden in the shadows are the most detestable; when you are strong, they are just harmless insects, but once you slightly weaken, they will attach and drain your blood dry.
Since Tan Shuangshuang currently cannot use Spiritual Pearls, she did not take them but instead chose to keep some Spiritual Medicine beneficial to Fei Hu. The rest she left to the clan to handle, whether as a reward to other disciples or to store it away, she did not concern herself with.
Tan Wencheng was not surprised by Tan Shuangshuang's choice, and he was very pleased. He did not covet these small things of his granddaughter; rather, Tan Shuangshuang's choice demonstrated that she held the Tan Family in her heart, and this made Tan Wencheng happiest.
Tan Wencheng thought for a moment and left five hundred Spiritual Pearls for Tan Shuangshuang. Families do not give Spiritual Pearls to children because, for children, they are a fortune and not cultivation resources. Furthermore, the unpredictability of children's temperament and suddenly holding a fortune could foster bad habits.
But Tan Wencheng had no concern that his calm and mature granddaughter Tan Shuangshuang would be led astray, so he confidently left five hundred Spiritual Pearls with her.
As for these five hundred Spiritual Pearls, Tan Shuangshuang remained very calm. In her previous life, Liang Ziqian, being an Inner Sect Disciple of the Bishui Sect, naturally never lacked Spiritual Pearls. Although emotionally not favorable towards Tan Shuangshuang, he was never stingy with money, so Tan Shuangshuang never lacked Spiritual Pearls.
After bidding farewell to Tan Wencheng, who as the Family Head was too busy to find a moment's peace, Tan Shuangshuang stuffed a piece of Spiritual Medicine, good for healing Magic Beast wounds, into Fei Hu's mouth, watching as its furry face winced while swallowing!
Although Spiritual Medicine is good, many have a taste that is bitter beyond measure, and the Spiritual Medicine Tan Shuangshuang chose was exactly one with a bitterness that could make one spit it out.
Fei Hu, having taken many Spiritual Medicines since childhood, both tasty and foul, usually, if faced with such a bitter medicine, would roll around and make a fuss with Tan Shuangshuang to demand some rewards before agreeing to swallow it.
However, Tan Shuangshuang was still angry about it being foolishly lured by tasty treats into a fight with the Red Flame Wolf and nearly losing its life, so Fei Hu behaved very obediently to placate her this time, not daring to throw a tantrum for rewards while taking its medicine.
Seeing poor Fei Hu's little face all scrunched up from the bitterness, Tan Shuangshuang's heart softened, and with a sigh, she offered a plate of various Spirit Fruits to sweeten its mouth.
Spirit Fruits, unlike ordinary fruits, are brimming with Spiritual Energy and hold immense value, even possibly aiding in cultivation improvement if consumed in large amounts. Not only humans benefit, but carnivorous Magic Beasts also gain substantial advantages from them.
Moreover, Spirit Fruits are universally delicious. Whenever Fei Hu finished a bitter dose, Tan Shuangshuang always had a plate of Spirit Fruits ready for it, and every time Fei Hu acted out, it was mostly to get a few more Spirit Fruits.
Gently stroking Fei Hu's fur as it joyfully munched on the Spirit Fruits, Tan Shuangshuang began pondering her future plans. Above all else, improving her own strength was the priority, and Tan Shuangshuang already had some ideas in mind, though she hadn't quite decided yet.
The Tan Family has a very powerful Cultivation Technique called the Three-turn Body Sculpting Technique; it is one of the few Xuan-level Middle Grade Techniques the Tan Family has, possessing great value.
From the name, it's clear that it's a Cultivation Technique for the body, and once mastered, the benefits are immense. Although both are body cultivation techniques, the Three-turn Body Sculpting Technique is in no way comparable to the Wu Family's inferior Green Jade Body Refining Technique.
