Eh…

Wang Shouzhe actually didn’t go far. He was secretly watching from a distance. He still cared a lot about his younger siblings in the clan.

At first, he frequently nodded in agreement. With Wang Luoqiu present, all these younger siblings were under immense pressure. This pressure, if transformed into motivation, could be a good thing.

However, upon hearing that damn girl spouting big words that even he, Wang Shouzhe, needed to suppress, he couldn’t hold back his laughter.

Heh, Wang Luoqiu, Wang Luoqiu, your eldest brother here will make sure to apply some pressure on you so that you can experience what is truly a brother’s care.

However, on the other hand, Wang Shouzhe did feel some pressure. He needed to cultivate diligently. It would be humiliating if he lost to them next year.

With a significant amount of resources being invested in the new generation of the family, and Wang Luoqiu stirring up things, the growth rate of these little brats couldn’t be slowed down.

Regardless, Wang Shouzhe was still very comforted. If a family wants to be strong, could it all rely on one person? Indeed, it would be exhausting. Continuous outstanding children from the family were the true foundation of a family.

The young generation of the Wang family was experiencing their optimal growth period.

Only in the past, the family was too poor to support his cultivation to the ninth stage of the Vital Energy Refining Realm. It was a very close call. The thirty – year sprint process consumed nearly 10,000 Qian Gold’s worth of cultivation supplies. As his cultivation level increased, so did the need for resources.

The rest of his siblings, even the children of the eighth generation, no matter how talented they were, could not be trained like him. The family couldn’t afford a second Wang Shouzhe.

Therefore, resources for the younger generation declined after twelve years old. The boys received a little more than the girls, but the difference was minimal.

The children now relied on the elders to save resources for their cultivation. Take Wang Shounuo for example, he barely reached the peak of the third stage of Vital Energy Refining Realm at the age of twenty, squeezing his sister’ s Little Pei Yuan Dan to sprint forward.

Wang Shouyi, his second brother, only reached the fifth stage of the Vital Energy Refining Realm at thirty-three years old. Why is that? While his talent was mediocre, the lack of resources was the greatest sin.

Wang Shouzhe remembered Minister Zhong Xingwang. His natural aptitude was far inferior to Wang Shouzhe, and even placed among the Wang family, it was mostly mediocre. But now he is a proud cultivator of the Spirit Platform Realm!

Why is that?

Because he is from the direct bloodline of the Tianren Family. Unless one is a waste with no bloodline, with enough resources piled up, they can reach the Spirit Platform Realm.

In other words, if Wang Shouzhe had an extremely vast and endless supply of resources, each of his siblings could reach the Spirit Platform Realm.

If they had the same amount of resources as Wang Shouzhe, by his age, although not close to the seventh stage of Vital Energy Refining Realm, they would at least be at the fifth or barely the sixth stage.

Wang Shouzhe’s life was originally arranged clearly. He was expected to impact the Spirit Platform at around thirty-eight to forty years old. His siblings with lesser talent, maybe fifty, sixty years old?

Of course, because the slower overall cultivation due to low aptitude, the longer the sprinting period and the great amount of resources invested. Therefore, most families prefer to select children with good aptitude for the journey to the Spirit Platform.

Let’s leave the idle chat for now.

After Wang Shouzhe secretly labeled Wang Luoqiu for “special attention”, he walked several dozen feet, took a few turns, and arrived at a pond. That’s when he called Wang Gui over.

He took off his outer garment, tore a corner of the shirt on his arm, showing an obviously swollen lump on the outside of his arm.

The little colorful spider’s poison was really potent. It’s estimated that Profound Martial practitioners of the second or third stage of the Vital Energy Refining Realm, if bitten, would be incapacitated for a while.

“Family Head!”

Wang Gui was surprised, “I will get a doctor.”

“No need. This bit of poison… I have already controlled it.” Wang Shouzhe said calmly. He made a small cut in the wound, used his mysterious energy to expel all the controlled poison.

Luckily the fight was resolved quickly. If he was stuck in a drawn-out battle, he might have lost control of the poison.

And this is just the poison of an ordinary venomous insect, not a ferocious one. Otherwise, even Wang Shouzhe might not be able to control it.

This event was a lesson for him. He absolutely must not underestimate anyone. Moreover, he should put some effort into poison resistance in the future. There are many different, strange venomous insects in this world.

After Wang Gui helped him clean the blood stain, he put his clothes back on.

Then, he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard where Wang Luoyi lived.

Wang Xiaoyu had been waiting for Wang Shouzhe and welcomed him inside.

At this moment, Wang Luoyi also came out from the main hall. As soon as she saw her brother, her face was full of smiles: “Shouzhe, you’re finally here. Little sister Luomei has been waiting till she’ s hungry.”

Wang Luoyi is twenty this year, a full sister to Wang Shouzhe, naturally a beautiful goddess-like figure. She has a calm and natural temperament, with moderate manners, exuding the noble air of a daughter from the direct line. However, she is not particularly devoted to cultivation, despite the abundance of resources, she is just at the peak of Level Four in the Vital Energy Refining Realm.

No wonder, most girls from prominent families tend to be the same when it comes to their cultivation, unless they are girls who want to walk the Spirit Platform path. Otherwise, even if they are from the direct line, their achievements are not high.

For example, when their aunt, Gongsun Hui, married their father Wang Dingyue at the age of nineteen, she was only at the mid-Level Four of the Vital Energy Refining Realm. And even now at the age of thirty, she’s only reached level six, not to mention her combat ability!

Neither the Gongsun Clan nor the Wang family have the resources to support Gongsun Hui to impact the Spirit Platform Realm. Similarly, under normal circumstances, the Wang family and the Chen Clan of Donggang don’t have the resources to support Wang Luoyi in impacting the Spirit Platform Realm.

Unless Wang Luoyi’s aptitude is excellent, the family would nurture her at all costs, but then she would be walking the Spirit Platform path similar to Elder Longyan.

“Shouzhe pays his respects to elder sister. I ran into Shu Yong, Luo Jing, Luo Qiu on the way and chatted with them for a while.” Wang Shouzhe bowed in salute and smiled, “I made you wait for a long time, let’s go and meet sister Luomei.”

At the same time, Wang Gui gave the gifts to Wang Xiaoyu and then accompanied her to the side hall for dining and waiting.

“You, still bringing gifts when you come to visit your sister.” Wang Luo Yi softly complained. “Better save some money, your cultivation is also lacking resources. Here, I have saved up fifty Qian Gold, you can use it first.” She didn’t handle the family’s finances and was unaware of the large influx of capital and resources into the Wang family.

“Sister, you keep this money for your own use.” Wang Shouzhe said seriously, “And, sister, you have to work harder in your cultivation. Considering the rise of the Chen Clan, Chen Fangjie’s probability of achieving the Spirit Platform Realm in the future is not low.”

Upon hearing the name Chen Fangjie, Wang Luoyi’s face turned slightly red, she slightly snorted, “Why do you mention him in vain?” After a pause, she said helplessly, “No matter how hard I cultivate, I can’t walk the path of the Spirit Platform.”

“That’s not necessarily true, sister. The future is long. You should grasp the present well.” Wang Shouzhe said, “Maybe one day, the situation will change.”

“Fine, I’ll take your advice.” Wang Luoyi agreed as she listened to his earnest words, then took Wang Shouzhe’s arm and said, “Let’s go, let’s not keep Auntie and sister Luomei waiting for dinner any longer.”

“Alright.” Wang Shouzhe didn’t say more, and accompanied her to the inner hall. He knew that Wang Luoyi was gentle and soft on the surface, but very strong at heart.

If she promises you something, she will find a way to do it.

As they entered the inner hall, an adorable eight or nine year old little girl with braids came running over, bouncing up and down: “Brother, brother. Why did you just arrive? Little Luomei’s stomach is already hungry.” As she spoke, she rubbed her little belly with a pitiful look.

“Oh, our little princess Luomei is so hungry that her stomach is shrinking. That’s a bad thing.” Wang Shouzhe laughed and picked her up with one arm. “Brother will perform a magic trick for you, as an apology. Watch closely, don’t blink.”

While speaking, Wang Shouzhe flipped his right hand and suddenly a bag of dried sea treasures appeared. The snacks had a good flavor, the little girls at home seemed to like it quite a bit. He assumed Luomei would also be fond of it.

“Wow, little dried fish.” Wang Luomei seemed quite disappointed, “I have loads of these.”

Wang Luoyi, who was standing nearby, also covered her mouth and giggled: ” Shouzhe, your way won’t work. Wang Licui has already sent a lot of these dried fish. I have some too.”

Eh hehe~

Wang Shouzhe scratched his nose, feeling slightly embarrassed. Had Wang Licui “embezzled” the resources of dried fish to win allies? That made sense. She wouldn’t dare to offend Luomei and Luoyi, after all, they were the biological sisters of Great Demon King Fourth Uncle.

Alright, that girl has… quite a survival philosophy.

Hmm, the recent tutoring for her was not in vain. He would have to continue with it later.

“You should put more thought into teasing your little sister, Luomei is already eight years old.” Wang Luoyi laughed gently at his embarrassment.

“Yes, yes, Luomei is already eight, not a naive little girl of four or five.” Wang Luomei blinked her sparkling eyes and said, criticizing, “Brother, can’t you be more thoughtful?”

“Alright, then brother will perform a set of boxing techniques for you.” Wang Shouzhe said helplessly, “You little girl, you’re becoming more and more difficult to please.”

“Slap”

Wang Luomei slammed her small hand on her forehead, showing a resigned expression. She looked at Wang Shouzhe with disdain: “Brother, which girl would like to watch a boxing performance? If you can’t please a girl, you’re going to have a hard time when sister-in-law Ruolan comes in. Fortunately, our ancestors arranged your marriage early, sigh~ ~ ”

As she was speaking, she shook her head and sighed, quite disapprovingly.

Wang Shouzhe’s mouth twitched, this little brat was suggesting that if it weren’t for the family’s arranged marriage, he wouldn’t be able to get a wife?
