“Brat…” “Little Marten, call me big brother.” “…” The little marten fell silent.
With its pride, how could it possibly call Mu Chen big brother?
Back in its prime, it could have killed a whole crowd of him with a single fart.
Even if it needed his help later, it really couldn’t bring itself to say it.
Mu Chen knew in his heart that the little marten wouldn’t call him big brother now, because he was too weak.
But though he was weak now, anything was possible in the future.
There would come a day when the little marten would willingly call him big brother.
He said it, and no one could change that.
Years later, when someone asked Mu Chen why he wanted to become strong, he would say it was to make the little marten call him big brother.
Mu Chen left the Ancestral Stone space.
Meeting the little marten today was just to say hello and confirm it was the original Ancestral Stone.
Since the little marten was there, it wasn’t a replica.
The sky was overcast with dark clouds.
The air was damp.
A layer of fog covered the streets, and only the shadows of passersby could be seen moving to and fro.
Mu Chen slept well and woke up ready to make a training plan.
Without the Ancestral Stone, he wouldn’t have bothered.
The Ancestral Stone could produce a miraculous Ancestral Stone Spirit Liquid, which had remarkable effects on both cultivation and body tempering.
Especially in the early stages of training, if used well, it could build a solid foundation.
A single drop of crimson liquid fell into the water basin.
In an instant, it dissolved into the water, spreading out like strands of blood.
When he put his hand in, he could see the pale red liquid seeping through his skin, bringing a warm sensation.
A peculiar energy nourished the flesh of his palm.
In just a moment, his skin already felt tougher.
Mu Chen’s eyes lit up.
This was worthy of the spirit liquid produced by the Ancestral Stone.
The effect was truly good.
Gentle and non-irritating, it was just right for someone his age.
“Ignorant bumpkin.
This stone talisman isn’t just for that one function.
Once you learn some martial arts, you’ll see its other wonders.” The little marten came out, crossed its little paws over its chest, and said disdainfully.
“Little Marten, you can come and go freely like this?
So when I’m using the toilet, do you peek too?” Mu Chen teased.
“Nonsense!
Marten isn’t that idle to watch you crap.
I can only come out when you take the stone talisman out.
When the stone talisman is inside you, I can’t sense anything unless you, the owner of the stone talisman, allow it.” The little marten rolled its eyes in a very human-like way, utterly speechless.
“By the way, I don’t know how valuable the stone talisman is in this world, but you’d better not show it off.
Don’t let others get ideas about it.
Marten doesn’t want to lose its life because of that.” After saying this, the little marten retreated into the Ancestral Stone.
Back then, it had been hunted down not long after obtaining the stone talisman, clearly because of it.
And for outsiders to find out so conveniently, someone who knew about it must have leaked the information.
Just thinking about being betrayed filled the little marten with murderous intent.
If it hadn’t been hunted down, how could it have ended up with just a spirit left?
It had already guessed who the traitor was.
Mu Chen shrugged.
In the Tianxuan Continent, one had to worry about the Yimo and old monsters recognizing the Ancestral Stone.
But here in the Heavenly Genesis World, as long as he didn’t flaunt it openly, no one would bother with an unknown nobody like him.
“Cough, cough…” Just then, violent coughing came from the next room, followed by Su Youwei’s worried voice.
“Grandpa, drink some water first.
I’ll go prepare your medicine.” “Cough…
It’s nothing.
Youwei, don’t worry.” The old man’s weak voice sounded.
In this kind of weather, his condition was especially severe.
Mu Chen looked at the Ancestral Stone in his hand and had an idea.
The injuries of Lin Dong’s father had been healed by the Ancestral Stone Spirit Liquid.
So Su Youwei’s grandfather should be curable too.
The pharmacy physicians could treat him, meaning it wasn’t an incurable disease.
He went to the yard and saw Su Youwei preparing the medicine over a fire.
Her fair little face was smudged with ash, like a dirty Cinderella.
“Youwei, does this medicine work well?” Mu Chen took a fan and fanned the fire, asking casually.
“This is the cheapest and least effective medicine.
It can barely suppress Grandpa’s condition.” Su Youwei’s eyes were filled with bitterness.
And they couldn’t even afford to take this low-quality medicine every day.
Her grandfather had been injured in his youth.
Now that he was old, his body was much weaker, and the condition was getting worse day by day.
“Youwei, do you trust me?” Mu Chen asked seriously.
“Huh?” “Yes.” Su Youwei blinked and nodded instinctively.
After spending a few days together, she could tell that Mu Chen wasn’t a bad person.
“Well…
I have a kind of spirit liquid here.
It works well.
It might be able to cure your grandfather.” Mu Chen took out a jade bottle from his pocket, containing the Ancestral Stone Spirit Liquid he had just dripped.
“Really?” Su Youwei looked at him excitedly.
To cure her grandfather, she had tried many methods, but they all came back to the same fundamental problem: she had no money.
If her grandfather’s condition continued to worsen, Su Youwei would kneel before the pharmacy and beg on her knees for help.
“Yes, about a ninety percent chance.” Mu Chen nodded, his tone very confident.
Seeing that Su Youwei didn’t object, Mu Chen dripped a single drop of Ancestral Stone Spirit Liquid into the medicine.
A trace of red spread through the liquid, then disappeared without a trace.
It was impossible to tell anything had been added.
“Grandpa, drink slowly.” Su Youwei held the medicine, took a chance, and handed it to her grandfather.
Her heart was in her throat as she prayed it would cure him.
“I’m troubling you, Youwei.” Her grandfather said apologetically.
His illness had been a burden on Su Youwei.
His granddaughter was very sensible and never treated him like a burden.
If he could, he wouldn’t want to drag her down either.
Su Youwei shook her head.
She didn’t feel that way.
Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she had to try.
Her grandfather drank the bowl of medicine in one gulp.
A few breaths later, his face turned red at a visible rate.
White steam rose from the top of his head.
Su Youwei clenched her small hands, extremely worried.
Mu Chen was very calm.
This was normal.
It was a sign of rising body temperature.
The Ancestral Stone Spirit Liquid was taking effect and wasn’t causing any harm to the old man.
As expected of the Ancestral Stone, it didn’t disappoint him.
A single drop worked this well.
Not only was it beneficial for cultivation, but it was also effective in healing.
“Pfft!” Her grandfather tilted his head and spat out a mouthful of black clotted blood onto the ground.
His body temperature rapidly dropped.
His flushed face quickly returned to normal, no longer sickly pale but showing a healthy rosy color.
“This…” Her grandfather clenched his fist.
For the first time in a long while, he felt strength flowing through him.
He was no longer so weak.
“Grandpa, are you alright?” Su Youwei had been startled just now.
She looked at her grandfather worriedly, afraid that his condition had taken a turn for the worse.
After all, what had just happened looked quite frightening, as if he were about to explode.
