"I'm still injured, I'm afraid I won't be able to win by then." Du Shaofu said.
?Shut up! You're more cunning than your father, I really don't know how Lao Sao gave birth to such a crafty son like you. Don't think that I don't know about it, but that cousin of Du Hao's, that Knight of the Empire, was obviously heavily injured by you and felt disgraceful, so he left the Du Family in the middle of the night. You really think that I know nothing about you?? Du Zhenwu glared at Du Shaofu. This child was really not like Lao San in character.
"Haha." Du Shaofu smiled with regret, it seemed that his biggest uncle already knew about it, so there was no need to continue pretending to be a fool in front of him.
"Be serious, don't think that I don't know what you're planning."
Du Zhenwu's eyes rolled as he looked at Du Shaofu, and said, "The family elders are not stupid, I have discussed with them, as long as you win in the competition between the younger generation of the five great families, at that time, I will hand over the 'Purple Aura Sun Sutra' to you to cultivate."
"Is that all?"
Du Shaofu was startled. If he had obtained the Purple Cloud Rising Sun Scripture back then, it would be a great benefit, but he had already mastered the cultivation method of the Golden Winged Roc. Naturally, Du Shaofu did not have much expectations for the Purple Cloud Rising Sun Scripture.
"What else do you want? Last time, you snatched away Du Hao and the others' blood essence of Wild Stone Demon Wolf and Foundation Establishment Pills. Is that not enough?" Du Zhenwu rolled his eyes at Du Shaofu once again.
"Alright, I'll try my best."
Du Shaofu nodded his head helplessly, it seemed like he would not get any other benefits, although he did not have much expectations for the Purple Clouds Scripture, he still had to go take a look at the lightning pool. To cultivate his own Body Training Method in it, maybe he could make progress.
"Are you asking for the herbal medicine and also the ingredients that only Spirit Talisman Master would use?"
Du Zhenwu took out a small wooden chest from the study room, opening the lid, it was filled with herbal medicine and ingredients that only Spirit Talisman Master would use, they were expensive and not something ordinary people could afford, furthermore, they were all used only by Spirit Talisman Master. So he looked at Du Shaofu with curiosity and said, "Du Ping delivered these things early in the morning, he said these are what you bought, is it true?"
"Yes. I want to see if I can become a Spirit Talisman Master." Du Shaofu nodded. He had already expected that the people of Du Family would know about him buying herbal medicine at Du Family Firm, so there was nothing much to hide.
"You want to become a Spirit Talisman Master?" Du Zhenwu looked at Du Shaofu in shock, he had long since asked someone to check Du Shaofu's Spirit Root, he was impossible to become a Spirit Talisman Master.
"I just want to try. It doesn't matter whether I succeed or not." Du Shaofu said.
Du Zhenwu's eyes fixed on Du Shaofu, and after a long while, his expression finally started to ease up, and he said softly, "If you really want to try, then our Du Family Firm also has invited a Spirit Talisman Master to refine medicine. Even though he is only a Two-Star Spirit Tailsman Master, I believe that if I were to ask him, he would be willing to give you some advice. To become a Spirit Talisman Master was not something that you could succeed only by yourself.
"Thank you, uncle, but there?s no need for now. I'll try it myself first."
Du Shaofu knew that there was a Two-Star Spirit Tailsman Master in the Du Family Firm who had even helped him treat his illness back then. Although he was only Two-Star, which was equivalent to a cultivator of Innate Stage, but because the Spirit Talisman Master was a special profession, even his first uncle had to be courteous to him. It was said that he had a very high position in Du Family.
However, according to what Zhen Qingchun had said (if Zhen Qingchun did not trick him), then a Five-Star Spirit Tailsman Master would be considered nothing in front of him, let alone that Two-Star Spirit Tailsman Master, so Du Shaofu decided to first see if Zhen Qingchun had tricked him or not.
?Alright, you have your own ideas. But in a month's time, it will be the competition between the younger generation of the five great families, you should be well prepared. This time, Du Hao and Du Yan will probably not be able to take advantages, and one of your brothers and one of your sisters have already missed a competition three years ago because they are not in the Stone City now. So this time, we all count on you.?
Du Zhenwu said in a serious tone, and did not say much about the Spirit Talisman Master. Even though he had useless Martial Bloodlines back then, he could cultivate now, so maybe a miracle would happen in the matter of Spirit Talisman Master today.
If Du Family could really foster a Spirit Talisman Master, then it would be of great benefit to the entire Du Family. Thus, there were some things that he didn't need to ask. Everyone had their own secrets. It was normal for Lao San's son to have some secrets.
"I will try my best." Du Shaofu is grateful to his first uncle, he knew that uncle is kind to himself. The brother and the sister that first uncle was talking about were his own daughter and son. The two of them had been out on adventures since they were very young, and Du Shaofu had not seen them for a long time as well. But he still remembered that when he was young, these two brother and sister often protected him.
After accompanying his first uncle and chatting for a while, Du Shaofu picked up the wooden chest and left.
When Du Shaofu walked to the entrance of the study room, Du Zhenwu stopped him, and said, "Shaofu, it's said that this time, other families have also fostered some extraordinary youths, and quite a few of them have even reached the Innate Stage. What exactly your current level? Could you tell me so that I could be prepared for the result in heart.?
Du Shaofu turned around, smiled slightly, and said, "Lightning Pool, I'm going."
As his voice faded, Du Shaofu strode out of the study room. The Lightning Pool was extremely beneficial to Body Training, so naturally, he could not lose this opportunity.
"This child, just what level has he reached? His words showed such confidence that even I am unable to see through." Du Zhenwu's eyes revealed suspicion. He had always wanted to pry into Du Shaofu's cultivation level, but strangely, he had no way to know.
"Dad, are you back?"
Carrying the wooden chest, Du Shaofu returned to the courtyard. He rarely saw his drunkard father with the messy beard and slovenly manner at home, carrying his wine jug and laid down on the rattan chair.
"Uh." Du Tingxuan only responded softly, he continued to hold the wine pot, leaning on the rattan chair and staring at the sky, in a daze.
After Du Shaofu entered his room and put down the wooden chest, he took out a newly bought wine jug and a few pieces of clothes from the Universe Bag and once again walked in front of Du Tingxuan and said, "Father, you must have used your wine jug for a long time. This is the new wine jug and a few clothes that I bought for you, you should take a bath later."
"Uh." Du Tingxuan still responded softly, his eyes glazed over and he didn?t move a bit.
"I'll leave it here and go outside for a while, don?t drink that much."
Du Shaofu placed the new clothes beside the rattan chair, seeing his father's messy long hair that covered half of his face, and then left the courtyard.
After a long while, Du Tingxuan began to move, holding onto the clothes and wine jug on the side of the rattan chair, he looked up into the sky, some expressions showed on his face.
"Rumble!"
From the depths of the hill behind Du Family, rumbling sounds came again as Du Shaofu once again immersed himself in cultivation.
When night fell, Du Shaofu finally stopped. He sat down cross-legged at the hill and began resting while cultivating. The King Scale Demon Tiger guarded from a distance.
Night, the bright moon in the sky.
"Long'er, what do you think of Du Shaofu of Du Family?" In front of the courtyard, Han Qingsong looked towards his son and asked.
Han Long raised his head and looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky. With a light move of his robe, he stood with his hands behind his back and replied, "Father, didn't you already have your opinion? Why you ask me??
Han Qingsong smiled slightly and said, "That Du Shaofu is so young, but he's not simple. It's no wonder that Han Hu lost to him."
"Indeed, he's not simple, and his strength is not weak either. I can't see through his cultivation level. I guess both the Bai Family and the Qin Family are in preparation. It seems that this month, I will go into closed door cultivation, or else, I really will not have any confidence."
Han Long lowered his head, and said with a slight smile, "However, before you go into closed door cultivation, I should think of a way to lure Bai Family and Qin Family into showing off in public. We can?t be the only target.?
"Only by meeting a strong opponent will you be able to keep improving. This is good for you."
Han Qingsong looked at the direction of Ye Family in Stone City, a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said, "If I can acquire that enormous treasure, then that will truly bring a boundless future. For the sake of the Han Family, for the sake of all of you, I'll go all out."
