333: Chapter 287 333: Chapter 287 The words this gentleman asked had everyone in the courtyard looking at Luo Yaxuan; even the women gazed at him with eyes filled with yearning when the chance to obtain Supreme Elixirs arose,
All their affection, when faced with such interests, was also placed second to benefits.
“I can’t…, right now I don’t have a single Supreme Elixir on me…”
“Luo Yaxuan, you’re so powerful, please help us to plead with the family to purchase more Supreme Elixirs and bring them back!”
Someone else inquired, and the men and women in the garden nodded in agreement, all expressing their desire for Supreme Elixirs.
These were the treasures they had been hoping for as they waited outside Luo Yaxuan’s courtyard for so many days.
Amidst all these expectant gazes, Luo Yaxuan began to explain to them:
“Supreme Elixirs aren’t cabbages that you can just buy whenever you want.
Are you all aware that when I went to purchase Pills this time, I almost encountered a robbery?
You need resources to buy them, as well as the ability to protect them.
It’s not as easy as just wanting to buy them.”
“Then let’s all plead with the clan together!
As a first-rate family, our resources should be greater than other families.
We can’t fall behind the others.”
“That’s right, let’s ask the clan.
Even if not everyone in the clan can have Supreme Elixirs, at least we, the elite, should.”
“Young Family Head, please represent us in pleading for this!”
One proposal after another, one request after another.
Luo Yaxuan shook his head as he listened to so many people speak:
“You might also know the auction price, how much does one Supreme Elixir cost?
Even if I can get them for a bit cheaper, our family can’t afford to provide Supreme Elixirs for so many people all at once.”
“What should we do then?
We also want to have them!”
The words of one male Disciple were echoed by nods from the others.
“Let’s think of a solution.
You all have resources after going out for so many years, right?
You can’t rely solely on the clan for everything; we also need to contribute some of our own resources.
For example, me, I have contributed some products to the clan, which allowed me the fortune of purchasing Supreme Elixirs with the support of the family, as well as the privilege to own them.”
While others nodded in agreement with Luo Yaxuan’s words, their thoughts were different internally; you are the Young Family Head, of course you need to contribute more to the family.
The clan has provided more support to the Young Family Head over the years.
The Young Family Head’s contributions to the clan meant that even if he hadn’t contributed, the clan would have prioritized providing him with resources.
After all, who else would be the future Clan Leader?
Everyone has their own selfish desires.
After struggling out in the world for so many years, many have suffered to obtain resources.
Especially when undertaking missions, one might be killed or robbed of their possessions and lose their life.
Apart from the items obtained from missions that had to be turned in, other possessions they had came at the cost of much effort.
It was difficult to part with these items for the clan, but for the sake of more precious resources, like Supreme Elixirs, and the opportunity to exchange the resources they had for them, everyone felt the trade was worthwhile.
Realizing this, the men and women in Luo Yaxuan’s courtyard agreed with his reasoning.
“I am willing to contribute my resources along with everyone else’s to exchange for Supreme Elixirs.”
Following one person’s statement, many others began taking out their Storage Bags.
“No rush, no rush, such an important matter isn’t for me to decide alone.
We should hold a large meeting for this; the Clan Leader will organize a meeting for you all.
Anyone who contributed should put their name down.
If we are able to purchase Supreme Elixirs, those who contributed will be given priority to acquire them.
Then it will depend on what you contributed, whether you’ll get one pill or several, based on the value of your contributions.”
“Young Clan Leader, can we also obtain several Supreme Elixirs?”
Someone caught the loophole in Luo Yaxuan’s words and questioned him about it!
“I was merely making a comparison; being lucky enough to obtain one Supreme Elixir is already a great fortune.
You should know that when people purchase Supreme Elixirs now, they buy one Vitality Pill and one Nourishing Soul Pill to take together for a better effect.
Taking just one Pill doesn’t have as good an effect.
This is my piece of advice.”
As soon as Luo Yaxuan’s words concluded, another person loudly spoke up:
“Young Clan Leader, we want to have such experiences too, please make it happen for us!”
“Right, right, make it happen for us!”
“Xuan, I really want to fight alongside with you, and we want to improve our cultivation.” The thoughts of the boys and girls were similar, yet different.
The conclusion from this gathering with Luo Yaxuan and his companions was that everyone wanted to acquire a Supreme Elixir, to appeal to the family, and were willing to contribute their own resources.
So many people gathered in Luo Yaxuan’s courtyard, from morning to evening, where they ate pastries and fruits, drank tea, and had lunch.
In the end, Luo Yaxuan asked them to return first, saying he would request the Clan Leader to hold a large meeting for the entire family tomorrow.
This was a polite way of saying goodbye; these people lingered outside Luo Yaxuan’s courtyard, unwilling to depart even for a moment, and even after returning to their clan, they were not able to dine peacefully with their families.
Like their family members, they all yearned for Supreme Elixirs, each trying to find ways to obtain these rare items.
After Luo Yaxuan had asked them to go home, they took advantage of the evening to reunite with their families and discuss plans to grow stronger.
Once her siblings had left her courtyard, Luo Yaxuan took out a set of clothes from her Storage Bag and changed into them upon hearing her mother’s call for a family dinner.
Since the day she returned and saw her mother, father, and grandmother, Luo Yaxuan hadn’t seen them for over half a month.
She was also curious about how much their cultivations had progressed.
When Luo Yaxuan arrived at her mother’s courtyard, she saw only her mother, Madam Luo, who looked at her much-improved son with a smile of pure joy.
“Mom, your cultivation has grown stronger, and you’ve become even more beautiful,” Luo Yaxuan said.
“Hehe, you little rascal, you’ve learned to be even sweeter with your words.”
“Mother, do you still see me as a little kid at my age?”
“Not anymore.
Aren’t you old enough to bring a daughter-in-law home to meet me?”
“It’s not the right time yet.
Wu Xinlin also knows that I’m currently focused solely on cultivating.
Only when I become stronger will I have the ability to protect my family and my loved ones.”
“Alright, your mother supports you.
Now let’s go have dinner at Grandma’s place together!”
“Grandma’s place?”
“Yes!
The Supreme Elixir that you brought back half a month ago allowed our family of five to all benefit from it.
Have those Elixirs been used up?”
He could not lie to his mother as he did to others.
In fact, he had kept six pills for himself on that day and had used four during his cultivation practice, with two remaining on him.
He had thought that, after some time, he would use them to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
However, due to today’s gathering and tomorrow’s big meeting, it seemed he might become a purchaser of Supreme Elixirs, without time to wait for cultivation.
“Mother, as you know, it’s very hard to obtain Supreme Elixirs.
I don’t want to lie to you; I actually still have two pills on me.”
“Two pills?” exhaled Madam Luo, her face lighting up with delight.
Now that her cultivation had increased, she wanted to rise even higher.
“Mother, I’ll give you Elixirs when there’s a chance in the future.
I think for the next couple of days, I should probably save them for Father or Ancestor Luo.”
“No, keep them for yourself, my son.
All these resources are yours,” said Madam Luo, a mother who supported her son’s decision to keep the last two Supreme Elixirs for himself.
At that moment, Madam Luo had not yet realized that, in front of her family and husband, her son came first.
“Mother, I will listen to you.”
“Yes, my son.
Don’t tell anyone else that you still have Supreme Elixirs.
Prevent unnecessary trouble by keeping your own counsel.”
“Understood, Mother.”
“Then let us head to Grandma’s courtyard for dinner!”
“Alright.”
The two of them arrived at Grandma’s courtyard.
Even though they were heir and lady of a great family and cultivators, they avoided bringing maids and servants when moving about at home, preferring not to be accompanied.
Luo Yaxuan and his mother entered Grandma’s courtyard and came to her living room, where they saw Ancestor Luo, whom they had not seen in many years.
He looked even younger than when Yaxuan was a child, his white hair having turned black again, and his appearance rejuvenated by about 20 years.
“Hehe, my little grandson has grown up.
Come over here, let your wife have a good look at you,” said Ancestor Luo with heartfelt satisfaction upon seeing Luo Yaxuan, who had entered the Golden Core Stage.
