Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1418 - 1415: Elixir for Restoring Cultivation

"Could other families still be eyeing the Hua Ying Sword?" Wang Wanxi asked, her expression somewhat grim because she knew whose hands the Hua Ying Sword was in.

Wang Yuanzhou smiled lightly and said, "Ancient Martial Artists are no different from ordinary people; they only have more power. Their emotions and desires are the same — greed, jealousy — Ancient Martial Artists are no exception."

"I understand. If the Hua Ying Sword is in the hands of a top expert, then there’s no problem. But if it’s just a regular Ancient Martial Artist, other Ancient Martial Artists and families will start getting restless." Wang Wanxi pointed out the crux of the issue.

In the Ancient Martial World, there are treasures like the Hua Ying Sword, such as the ’Purple Electric Frost’ of Qingshuang Pavilion and the ’Lifeless Sword’ of the Wang Family, but no one dares to seize them because neither Qingshuang Pavilion nor the Wang Family is to be trifled with.

Of course, there are Ancient Martial families as strong as the Wang Family, but other families wouldn’t start a war over a single treasure. Such mutual destruction wouldn’t be worth the cost.

Wang Yuanzhou nodded, as if recalling something, and then said, "By the way, who are those two young men?"

"Father is referring to Lin Tian and Ghost, right? Both are orphans, and both have considerable strength, especially Lin Tian; even I can’t see through him," Wang Wanxi replied.

"Orphans?" Wang Yuanzhou’s brow furrowed into a line, seemingly pondering something. After a while, he said, "They must have been raised by some reclusive master. Lin Tian’s strength is indeed impressive. Ghost is not bad either; his foundation is excellent. It’s just that he practices Ancient Yoga Skill, which limits him in practical combat."

"Ghost once worked as a mercenary overseas and has been on the battlefield. His combat experience is quite rich; I think in the same realm, no one would be his match. His fighting techniques are meant to kill, with immense destructive power," Wang Wanxi reminded.

"Hmm." Wang Yuanzhou nodded in agreement, then said, "Battlefield techniques are simple and practical. Both Lin Tian and Ghost are promising young men; keep an eye on them."

"Alright," Wang Wanxi nodded in agreement.

After the conversation, the siblings walked out of the living room. It wasn’t until they were far from it that Wang Mingyan said, "Little sister, you once told me you’d found someone who matched Yun Tian highly, and even did a paternity test that failed. Was it Lin Tian or Ghost?"

"It was Lin Tian. I couldn’t understand the situation at the time. Several machines burned out one after another, something that had never happened before. Unfortunately," Wang Wanxi said with both regret and confusion, unable to make sense of that day’s events.

"Why didn’t you tell father about this?" Wang Mingyan asked.

Wang Wanxi smiled wryly and said helplessly, "Big brother knows father’s temper. If the test had succeeded, it would’ve been fine to tell him. But if it didn’t, wouldn’t he have blown his top right on the spot? The Yun Family mainly consists of ordinary people; they couldn’t bear his torment."

Hearing this, Wang Mingyan shook his head helplessly, "Father has never forgotten about Yun Tian. If the identification didn’t go well, he might indeed explode. In fact, little sister, you and the Yun Family are the biggest victims. Father’s actions were indeed inappropriate, but that’s his temperament. Little sister, don’t hold it against him."

Wang Wanxi shook her head slightly but said nothing. Seeing her silence, Wang Mingyan continued, "Back then, after you were injured and your realm stagnated, it wasn’t that father neglected you. He has been searching for an elixir to help you recover your realm. He just didn’t find one yet and feared you’d be disappointed, so he instructed me not to tell you."

Wang Wanxi nodded, saying, "I know father’s temperament. He keeps some things in his heart and just hasn’t said them. But since you told me this time, aren’t you afraid father will blame you?"

Wang Mingyan looked around, making sure no one was around before saying, "I told you for a reason. We’ve already gathered some information. It’s said there’s an elixir that might restore your realm, called the Nine Revolutions Marrow Cleansing Pill."

"Nine Revolutions Marrow Cleansing Pill? What kind of elixir is that?" Wang Wanxi asked, already having mentally accepted the potential of not being able to restore her realm, so she appeared calm regarding Wang Mingyan’s news.

"How would I, your big brother, know what kind of elixir the Nine Revolutions Marrow Cleansing Pill is? Anyway, it probably can restore your realm. The Nine Revolutions Marrow Cleansing Pill might show up at the auction, so when you go to Qingshuang Pavilion this time, you should pay close attention. This is the reason I told you, so you won’t miss it."

"Pharmacist..." Wang Wanxi lightly murmured, her gaze flickering as a young figure appeared in her mind.

Wang Mingyan gave her a curious look, saying, "Little sister, is there a problem?"

"Oh, no," Wang Wanxi waved her hand, quickly saying, "I’m just curious about why the auction is being held on Qingshuang Pavilion’s turf; it’s not usual."

"Who knows? Maybe the boss behind it got a wild idea. But your big brother can guess a little; this time, the Hua Ying Sword appearing at Qingshuang Pavilion is bound to attract many people. By then, Qingshuang Pavilion’s place will be teeming with excitement. Holding the auction when everyone is there makes sense," Wang Mingyan said nonchalantly. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Wang Wanxi shook her head with a smile, "Big brother, do you think the auction’s boss cares about the crowd? The auction invitations are precious. Every time, the auction invitations are sold at sky-high prices, unobtainable even with a fortune."

"That’s true. The items at the auction are so attractive that many want them, but space is limited. Without an invitation, you can’t get in," Wang Mingyan laughed.

"Alright, big brother, I’ll pay attention, but I won’t expect too much. I’ll just go with the flow," Wang Wanxi said calmly.

The siblings walked and talked, disappearing at the corridor’s end after a while.

In the Wang Family’s guest room, Lin Tian stood by the window, looking at the moon outside. Surprisingly, he wasn’t refining the Crescent Blade. After all, this was the Wang Family, and Lin Tian didn’t want to attract too much trouble, just in case. Though Wang Yuanzhou and his son could be trusted, the other members of the Wang Family were uncertain.

"Lin Tian, why aren’t you refining that blade today?" The Sword Spirit’s voice interrupted Lin Tian’s "moon-gazing," sounding quite curious.

"I won’t be refining for a while, and I’m warning you, you better not run around. The place we’re staying is the Ancient Martial World, home to many Ancient Martial families. While I’m not afraid of trouble, I don’t want to waste my time on it," Lin Tian admonished the chatty Sword Spirit.

If the Sword Spirit appeared, its allure might surpass that of the Hua Ying Sword, especially to Swordsmiths who love such energy forms.

"You don’t need to tell me; I know. I saw that scene by the lake this afternoon. Huaxia indeed harbors hidden talents. It’s terrifying," the Sword Spirit said excitedly.
