The Other Side of A Cultivation Story

"Mother, Big brother and Big sister," Qai called the attention of each one.

"Please, take one of these pills.. and oh Big Brother, please take another one for sister-in-law," he said as he showed them the Supreme Qi Gatheing Pills.

"With these pills everyone will easily break through your bottlenecks," Qai went on.

There was actually 5 pills he initially found in the ring but he decided to reserve one for himself.

Qai then turned to his father after handing the pills over.

"Father, here's 5 gold coins..., with everyone stepping up to the next level in cultivation, we need to purchase new skill scrolls," he said as he took the gold coins from the ring.

Shu Wei sighed, "I'm really son that you have to pull your pockets for the sake of our family. This is supposed to be my responsibility."

Qai chuckled, "Father, this is nothing much.. this is all for the sake of my plan to help you build a cultivating clan.."

"And oh Father, I also have something for you."

Qai again motioned his hand and took out a small bottle."I actually don't know what this is. But I understand this is no ordinary liquid. I figured this might be useful to you in some way," Qai said as he threw the bottle in midair towards his father.

Shu Wei caught it. Then he looked at it intently as he creased his brows and sniffed the small opening of the bottle after.

All of a sudden his eyes opened wide and finally exclaimed, "This...," then paused.

'This must be Spirit Milk,' he thought. 'No, no, there's no mistake. This is Spirit Milk!'

Shu Wei's face was filled with astonishment and excitement at the same time.. it was so obvious that his family was looking at him smiling at his reaction.

"Come on Father, tell us what it is," Shu Liang yelled.

Shu Wei's face turned red all of a sudden then said, "Sorry for my shameless reaction.. but this.. this is known as Spirit Milk."

"Spirit Milk!?" Everyone asked except for his wife Shu Ling who simply grinned with eyes wide open. She must have already understood what it meant for her dear husband.

"This," Shu Wei said, "when sold in the auction would fetch hundreds of gold, for this is a one of a kind treasure."

"Hihihi," Shu Ling laughed. "Your beating around the bush, dear husband."

"Qai," his mother said, "where you get this, I trust you that it's not stolen.. but let me tell you its true worth.."

Shu Ling sighed..paused for a moment then said, "One of the many reasons your father settled near the forest is to try his luck and to chance upon a thousand-year herb."

All of them were surprised becuse this is the first time they would be hearing this.

"Any thousand-year old herb, when concocted, would help a cultivator breakthrough a bottleneck from expert realm to sage realm.. all of you should understand that your father has been in the peak of heaven stage expert realm for quite some time already.. Some even considered this stage as half-sage realm.." Shu Liang explained.

Everyone gasped at what they're learning.

"But.. this Spirit Milk," she said, "it has the same effect as that of a thousand-year herb, but it is not limited to breaking trough the sage realm. It may be also be used to breakthrough from sage realm to emperor realm."

"Ha ha ha ha," Shu Wei suddenly laughed and shamelessly interrupted, "and its efficiency is instant!"

"Son, are you sure you're giving it to me?"

Everyone was wildly imagining things, before Qai got a hold of what he had just gifted his father.

"Of course," Qai replied with a big grin.

"Little Qai, my son, I don't know how to thank you," his father humbly said scratching his head. "But maybe then once I finally reached sage realm, I think your little dream for our family might have a shot."

"I know, Father, I know," Qai said. "But let's take it one at a time. Why not everyone start breaking through first and decide the skills you need. That should be our first step."
