Wang Shouzhe actually didn’t go far, secretly watching and listening from a distance. He still cares a lot about this group of younger brothers and sisters in the family. At first, he listened and nodded frequently. With Wang Luqiu around, these younger siblings all felt a huge pressure. If this pressure turns into motivation, it’s a good thing. But when he heard that unruly girl speaking such nonsense, even saying she would suppress him, Wang Shouzhe. Hehe~~ Wang Luqiu, oh Wang Luqiu, Fourth Brother will surely give you some real pressure later, so you can feel what care from an elder brother means. But then again, Wang Shouzhe does feel some pressure. He must cultivate well to avoid losing to them next year, otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing. With a large investment of resources in the family’s new generation, coupled with Wang Luqiu, the "Catfish Spirit" stirring things up, these little brats won’t grow slowly. However, Wang Shouzhe is ultimately very gratified. For a family to be strong, can it rely solely on him? An endless lineage of excellent descendants is the true foundation of a family. The younger generation of the Wang Family is in their prime growth period. It’s just that the family was too poor before, just supporting him as a direct lineage to charge through the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Realm was already very difficult. The thirty-year-long sprint process consumed nearly ten thousand Qian Gold in cultivation materials, and the higher you cultivate, the more resources you need. Other younger siblings, even the children of the eighth generation, no matter how talented, cannot be cultivated like him. The family can no longer afford a second Wang Shouzhe. Therefore, the younger generation, before the age of twelve, could still have a bit more resources, but after that, the resources would become increasingly scarce. The boys had a bit more than the girls, but only slightly more. Now these children rely on their elders saving resources to barely cultivate. Take Third Brother Wang Shounuo, for example, it took him until the age of twenty to painstakingly reach the Peak of Qi Refining Third Layer, relying on squeezing his younger sister’s Minor Primordial Cultivation Pill to push forward. Second Brother Wang Shouyi is already thirty-three years old and only at the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining Realm. Why? Admittedly, there’s the reason of mediocre talent, but the biggest original sin is the lack of resources. Wang Shouzhe remembers Steward Zhong Xingwang, his talent is naturally far inferior to Wang Shouzhe’s and even ranks at the lower middle in the Wang Family. Yet, he is now a dignified Spirit Platform Realm Cultivator! Because he is from the direct lineage of a Celestial Human Family, as long as you are not a bloodless waste, you can reach the Spirit Platform Realm by piling up resources. In other words, if Wang Shouzhe had extremely vast and endless resources, each of these younger siblings could charge up to the Spirit Platform Realm. If they enjoyed the same resources as Wang Shouzhe did before, by his age, they might not nearly reach the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, but at least the Fifth Layer or barely the Sixth Layer would be attainable. Wang Shouzhe’s life was originally well planned. He was supposed to impact the Spirit Platform Realm at about thirty-eight to forty years old. For his less talented younger siblings, fifty or sixty years old was almost reasonable, right? Of course, because of the slow overall cultivation due to poorer talents, the longer the sprint period, the more resources would be consumed exponentially. Therefore, the vast majority of families always prefer to cultivate descendants with good talents for the Spirit Platform road. But enough of the idle talk for now. After putting a "special care" label on Wang Luqiu secretly, Wang Shouzhe walked dozens of feet and took a few turns to a pondside, only then did he call Wang Gui over. Taking off his outerwear, he tore a corner off his inner shirt sleeve, revealing a prominently swollen area on his arm. That little multicolored spider’s venom was indeed not weak. It’s estimated that a Black Tortoise Practitioner only at the second or third layer of Qi Refining Realm might be out of action for a while after taking a bite. Wang Gui was startled, "I’ll go get a doctor." "No need, this little bit of venom was already controlled." Wang Shouzhe remained calm and composed, cutting open the wound slightly, he used Profound Qi to force out the controlled venom completely. Luckily, the battle was resolved quickly earlier, otherwise, if it dragged into a stalemate, he might not have been able to control the venom. This was just the venom from an ordinary poisonous insect, not something like a Fierce Insect. Otherwise, even Wang Shouzhe might not be able to handle it. This lesson also taught him never to underestimate anyone. In the future, effort must be put into guarding against poison, as there are countless bizarre poisonous insects in this world. After Wang Gui helped him wash off the blood stains, he put his clothes back on. Only then did he arrive at the courtyard entrance where Wang Luoyi lived. Wang Xiaoyu had been waiting here for a long time and ushered Wang Shouzhe inside. At this moment, Wang Luoyi also walked out from the main hall. Upon seeing her younger brother, she immediately beamed, "Shouzhe, you’re finally here. Sister Miaomiao is starving to death waiting for you." Wang Luoyi is twenty years old this year, and she and Wang Shouzhe are siblings with the same father and mother, naturally growing up to be a lovely goddess-like figure. Moreover, her temperament is serene and natural, her demeanor graceful, bearing the aura of a direct lineage eldest daughter. It’s just that she’s not very diligent in cultivation, and with no shortage of resources, she’s only at the peak of the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Realm. But it’s no wonder; most girls in noble families aren’t serious about cultivation, unless they’re aiming for the Spirit Platform Realm. Otherwise, even those of direct lineage rarely achieve much. Like Aunt Gongsun Hui, who married Father Wang Dingyue at nineteen, and was only at the middle stage of the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Realm. Even now at thirty, she’s only at the sixth layer, and her combat abilities are not to be mentioned! Neither the Gongsun Family nor the Wang Family can afford to support Gongsun Hui to hit the Spirit Platform Realm, and similarly, the Wang Family and the East Port Chen Family don’t have the resources to support Wang Luoyi to reach it. Unless Wang Luoyi’s talent is outstanding enough for the family to cultivate her at all costs, and then she’d be on the path similar to Ancestor Longyan’s Spirit Platform Road. "Shouzhe greets sister. I just met Shouyong, Luojing, Luqiu on the road and chatted with them for a while." Wang Shouzhe bowed politely and said with a smile, "Sorry to keep you waiting, let’s go and see sister Miaomiao." At the same time, Wang Gui handed over the gift to Wang Xiaoyu and then accompanied her to the side hall to eat and wait. "Oh, why bring gifts to sister?" Wang Luoyi muttered softly, "You might as well save some money; you’re short on resources for your cultivation. Here, I’ve saved fifty Qian Gold, take it and use it." She didn’t deal much with family finances and didn’t realize the current significant money and resource infusion into the Wang Family. "Sister, keep this money for yourself." Wang Shouzhe said seriously, "Besides, sister, you should also work a bit harder in cultivation. With the Chen Family’s rising momentum, Chen Fangjie has a good chance of achieving the Spirit Platform Realm in the future." On hearing Chen Fangjie’s name, Wang Luoyi slightly reddened, lightly muttered, "Why are you bringing him up for no reason?" After a pause, she said helplessly, "Even if I work hard in cultivation, I can’t follow the Spirit Platform Road." "That’s not certain; the future is still long, sister should seize the present moment." Wang Shouzhe said, "Maybe one day, the situation will change." "Alright, I’ll listen to you." Seeing him serious, Wang Luoyi agreed. She then linked arms with Wang Shouzhe, "Come, let’s eat, don’t keep Aunt and sister waiting." "Okay." Wang Shouzhe didn’t speak any further and went to the inner hall with her, knowing that Wang Luoyi’s gentle exterior hid a very strong will. If she promised you, she’d find a way to accomplish it. In the inner hall, a little girl with braids, dressed cutely at eight or nine years old, skipped and jumped over: "Brother, Brother. Why are you only coming now? Miaomiao’s tummy is empty with hunger." She said, rubbing her little tummy in grievance. "Oh dear, my little princess Miaomiao’s tummy has gone flat, that’s a disaster." Wang Shouzhe smiled and picked her up with one hand, "Brother will do a magic trick to apologize, watch carefully, don’t blink." As he spoke, Wang Shouzhe’s right hand flew over, and suddenly, a packet of dried sea fish appeared. These little snacks tasted nice; the girls at home seemed to like them, so Miaomiao would surely get hooked too. "Wow, dried fish." Wang Luomiao was immediately disappointed, "I have a whole bunch of these." Beside was Wang Luoyi, who covered her mouth and laughed lightly, "Shouzhe, this trick isn’t going to work, Lici already brought over plenty of these dried fish; I have them too." Wang Shouzhe rubbed his nose awkwardly; Wang Lici wasn’t hoarding dried fish resources to engage in diplomacy, was she? Right, she wouldn’t dare offend Luomiao and Luoyi, after all, they were the Great Demon King’s fourth uncle’s dear sister and dear cousin. Well, that big girl really... has decent survival instincts. Hmm, hmm, the time spent with her lessons hasn’t been wasted, must continue diligently next time. "Oh come on, pleasing sister requires some thought, Miaomiao is already eight years old." Watching him embarrassed, Wang Luoyi found it amusing and couldn’t stop laughing. "Exactly, exactly, Miaomiao is already eight, not a four or five-year-old little girl." Wang Luomiao flashed her bright eyes and teased, "Brother, can you be a bit more attentive?" "Well then, I’ll perform a martial arts technique for you." Wang Shouzhe said helplessly, "You little girl, getting harder and harder to please." Wang Luomiao slapped her forehead, showing a hopeless expression and looked at Wang Shouzhe disdainfully, "Brother, which girl would like watching martial arts performances? You’re so bad at pleasing girls, it’ll be tough once Sister-in-law Ruolan arrives, you know. Luckily, ancestors arranged a marriage for you early. Alas~~" Saying this, she shook her head and sighed deeply, with a look of disappointment at his failures. Wang Shouzhe’s mouth twitched, the little girl’s tone made it sound like if the family didn’t arrange a marriage, Wang Shouzhe wouldn’t be able to get a wife?
