330: Chapter 286 330: Chapter 286 The ancestor emerged from seclusion, and the first thing he wanted to do was to find the current Family Head’s eldest son.
Hearing his partner’s call, he felt he hadn’t seen her for so long that he should visit her and share the good news.
The ancestor called for his son and daughter-in-law, preparing for a family meal together to celebrate.
He also sent a message to his grandson, but Luo Yaxuan, who had not yet emerged from seclusion, did not receive the message.
“My dear, you’ve rejuvenated too!”
The ancestor arrived at the residence he shared with his wife with a happy smile on his face.
Seeing her sitting in the living room looking younger, with even her hair turned black, he nodded with joy in his heart.
He felt a bit regretful that he hadn’t gotten a couple more Supreme Elixirs for himself; otherwise, he would have appeared before his wife as a young man.
“Yes, we have both become younger.” Upon hearing her husband’s words, Madam Luo didn’t think much of it.
If she had heard what he was thinking, she would have surely said, If you had become a young man, would that not match me?
“Dad, congratulations!” Luo Sheng, the Family Head, arrived at his parents’ courtyard with his wife, seeing that his parents had both become younger and had achieved the same level of rejuvenation as them.
“Yes yes, congratulations to us all.
You two have also advanced in cultivation.
By the way, where is my grandson?”
The ancestor now was only concerned about meeting his grandson quickly and asking if he had more Supreme Elixirs.
“Xuan’er has not yet come out of seclusion.”
“Oh…
then let’s not wait for him.”
As if reading each other’s thoughts, the father and son guessed that the grandson could provide them with Supreme Elixirs, possibly even keeping a couple extra for himself.
While they wanted their youth and power more than anything, they couldn’t help but feel envious.
Madam Luo had the dishes brought out and wine served; the family celebrated, hoping that each new generation would surpass the last.
In this moment of celebration, setting aside their worries, they simply hoped for the family’s wealth and strength to grow and for their own abilities to increase, aspiring to Ascension as every cultivator does, seeing just one step closer to their goal.
The three Elders, tired of being pestered, went into seclusion themselves.
With no family members around to bother them for Supreme Elixirs, they left it to the family to deal with such requests.
For the Luo Family Head, the mood was blissful, as he and his son had not drunk together in a long while.
In the past, they might not see each other for years due to their dedication to cultivation.
“Reporting to the Family Head…”
Just as the father and son were drinking, their wives had already finished eating and were sitting aside, chatting as mother and daughter-in-law.
A scout came in from outside to report.
As part of clan protocol, scouts were dispatched to keep an eye on any movement among the noble families of Immortal Lord City and to bring news back to the family posthaste.
“What’s the matter?”
“Family Head, the latest news is that Patriarch Huang and his three Elders, along with the Jiang Family and their three Elders, have all gone to Immortal Venerable City.
It seems the two families have had a clandestine clash, and now they have all arrived in Immortal Venerable City, rumored to possess Supreme Elixirs.”
The celebratory mood of Luo Sheng, the Family Head, and his father chilled upon hearing the scout’s report.
The Family Head waved the scout away.
“Father, Lai Jianlin from the Lai Family has returned with his son.
Our families are allies, and the young generation gets along well.
They are both the cream of their respective families.”
“Oh, how is the Lai Family doing?”
“It’s been said that just like our family, the younger generation, including Lai Jianlin, is still in seclusion.”
“It seems they’ve obtained as many Supreme Elixirs as our family.
We are a premier family, and for the prosperity of our clan, we must spare no effort.”
“Exactly, Father.
Before we did not know how many Supreme Elixirs we could purchase and only sent some money with my son to buy them.
Next time, we must invest all our resources.”
“See if there are any disciples willing to pitch in with collective funds.
They contribute some, the family contributes some; we must ensure that everyone has resources.”
“I have some resources here.
When my grandson comes out, have him figure out a way to buy some elixirs for me too.”
Family Head Luo Sheng understood his father’s point.
Money is extrinsic, while obtaining Supreme Elixirs is currently the most important matter.
Luo Sheng took his father’s Storage Bag; this session of drinking was thoroughly enjoyed, uncertain whether the next time they would come together to drink could be in a year, or perhaps several years later.
Luo Yaxuan was still in seclusion, and those looking for him waited in the courtyard.
Among them were girls from the family who were fond of him, waiting with devoted hearts for his return.
The Luo Family was large, and its noble-born women might not be of the same bloodline as Luo Yaxuan, perhaps being distantly related, which would still allow for a matrimonial match.
Luo Yaxuan was the most valiant and handsome man of the younger generation.
Over the years, he had gone to the Immortal Sect, while the girls had grown up, and those capable had also joined the Sects.
Unable to join the top Sects, some had joined the lesser ones.
With many failing in the latest grand competition, they returned home.
Both male and female elites had returned.
Without Luo Yaxuan’s fortune to buy Supreme Elixirs and bring them back, they no longer wished to return to their Sects upon learning the honor he had brought to the family and the possibility of possessing Supreme Elixirs in the Luo Family.
They chose to stay with the Luo Family which had grown so powerful, having left for several years and learned what they could.
They wished to stay and learn the Cultivation Techniques and Spells that Luo Yaxuan brought back.
Luo Yaxuan was the Prince Charming every girl wished to marry, and the men also wanted to be near this outstanding Young Family Head.
Despite their envy and admiration, they desired to bask in his light as well.
