In the Yu Family north of the city, dark clouds hung over everyone's hearts.
Yu Feifei was only sixteen years old, but she was already at the early stage of the Spirit Nurturing Realm. She was the most talented person in the third generation of the Yu Family.
She was also Yu Lian's only daughter.
"These are the last of the spirit stones. Keep them well."
Yu Lian stuffed a bag of spirit stones into Yu Feifei's hands and said, "I'm afraid the family won't be able to distribute the spirit stones according to the schedule in the future."
Yu Feifei's baby face had a bit of baby fat. She looked at her father and said, "Father, you need spirit stones for your cultivation too."
Spirit stones were a necessity for any cultivator.
Spirit stones contained even purer Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth. They could be absorbed and refined directly for use in cultivation.
They could also be used to set up formations, refine pills, and refine artifacts. They could be used to quickly replenish spirit power in battle or after being severely injured.
Meridian Opening Realm cultivators only needed to use Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth to open their meridians bit by bit.
At that stage, because the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth they needed for cultivation was limited, it wasn't too much of a problem without spirit stones.
Of course, if they relied on spirit stones for cultivation in the Meridian Opening Realm, it would be much more efficient.
From the Spirit Nurturing Realm onwards, they would need more Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth to refine their bodies.
If they had spirit stones, they would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The major realms were divided into the early, middle, and late stages. Breaking through between the minor realms required a large amount of spirit stones in case of emergency.
As the most talented member of the third generation of the Yu Family, Yu Feifei was highly valued.
After breaking through to the Spirit Nurturing Realm, she could receive spirit stones from the family every month for her own cultivation.
However, she had also heard about the family being suppressed by Su Yin. She knew that it would become more and more difficult to obtain spirit stones in the future.
It was even possible that the supply would stop at some point.
In the past few days, she had heard from some of the family members who loved her that some of the elders and guests were planning to leave the Yu Family.
Those elders and guests weren't members of the Yu Family. They only received spirit stones for their work.
Without spirit stones, it was unrealistic to expect them to be loyal.
"My cultivation …"
Yu Lian's expression dimmed. He forced a smile and said, "Forget it. This is all I can do for the rest of my life. I won't be able to achieve much on the path of cultivation. "
His eyes lit up. "You're different! You are the pride of your father, the future of the family! I can cultivate without spirit stones, but you can't. "
Yu Feifei felt a lump in her throat when she heard that. She asked, "Father, these spirit stones … are all from your collection, right?"
Yu Lian sighed, "We don't have much left. You should use them sparingly. In the future, I will think of a way. There will be a way. "
Yu Feifei lowered her head and said with tears in her eyes, "The Su family never helped us when we were in trouble. They only know how to kick people when they're down and only know how to seize benefits. They don't deserve our respect at all! "
"Shh." Yu Lian asked her to keep quiet. Then, he coughed softly and shouted, "Who is it?"
"Second brother, it's me," said Yu Hu from outside.
Yu Lian let out a sigh of relief and walked to Yu Hu to welcome him. Then, he asked confusedly, "Didn't you go to our old mansion in Yu Town a few days ago to see Yu Yuan? Why did you suddenly appear in the middle of the night? "
"It's late at night, so I only dared to take something out." Yu Hu smiled.
"Hello, Auntie." Yu Feifei smiled sweetly.
There were still tears in her eyes that were about to overflow.
"What's wrong, Feifei?" Yu Hu said in a relaxed tone with a smile.
"How can you still smile?" Yu Lian glared at his sister and said, "You went to the old mansion. Don't you know that many guest elders and sinecures have been making a fuss these days, wanting to leave the family? Some elders have been pressuring uncle every day to see Su Yin and listen to all the orders of the Su family. "
"So that's what it is." Yu Hu understood and glanced at the cloth bag on the table. "Aren't they poor? Their lifeline is in someone else's hands. That's why they can't do anything. "
Yu Lian huffed angrily and thought, "Do I need you to tell me that?"
"Alright, alright." Yu Hu took out spirit stones from his waist and placed them on the table one by one. "Feifei is the treasure of the Yu family. How can you cultivate without spirit stones? In addition to spirit stones, there is an Origin Spirit Pill here. It's perfect for you. "
On the table, Yu Feifei and Yu Lian were dazzled by the dazzling light.
There were no less than a hundred spirit stones!
Moreover, there was an Origin Spirit Pill!
Up until now, the Yu family had not purchased any Origin Spirit Pills for their Spirit Nurture juniors to cleanse their bodies, strengthen their flesh, and increase their combat strength.
The reason was that Origin Spirit Pills were too expensive!
"Little sister, where... where did you get these?" Yu Lian stammered, pointing at the spirit stones and the Origin Spirit Pill. "You won't be able to get them even if you try!"
"Don't worry. These spirit stones and Origin Spirit Pills belong to the Yu family. They are our legitimate income!" Yu Hu smiled brightly. "Moreover, they will be our stable income in the future! What you see now is only a small part of it! The number of spirit stones and Origin Spirit Pills in the family treasury is several times more than these! "
"Ah!"
"How is this possible?"
The father and daughter were so shocked that their mouths could be stuffed with eggs.
"That's it."
Yu Hu's footsteps were light. "Feifei's cultivation cannot be delayed. She can use these spirit stones and the Origin Spirit Pill as she pleases. Yu Yuan has said that all the juniors in the family will be provided with Origin Spirit Pills after they reach the Spirit Nurture stage. "
"Yu Yuan?"
"Of course. Who else in the family can come up with these things? "
...
Outside the Yu Clan's storehouse.
Yu Can and Yu Wei walked slowly towards the storehouse, leading a group of elderly Yu Clan elders.
Many of these elders were in their seventies or eighties. They had long since reached the end of their cultivation path.
If they couldn't break through to the Shattering Profound stage, they would die of old age like mortals.
They no longer had any hopes for themselves. They all hoped that their descendants would be able to break through their own limits and step into the Shattering Profound Realm one day.
Therefore, when they learned that the Su Clan had deliberately targeted them and refused to buy their medicinal plants, they all jumped out.
Not for themselves, but for their descendants.
"Can, I was the one who supported you to become the clanmaster back then. How many years have passed?" A doddering old man said, swaying as he walked. "The Yu Clan can't be destroyed in your hands, can it? It's only a matter of admitting your mistakes and giving in. Is it that hard?
"As a prestigious family of alchemists in the empire, the Su Clan needs medicinal plants!
"Why do you have to fight with them? Even if the Su Clan didn't help us in our hour of need, we still have to bow our heads when we're under their roof.
"For the sake of the Yu Clan's survival, just listen to me and apologize to Su Yin, okay?"
He had been trying to persuade Yu Wei along the way.
Until...
Until Yu Wei pushed open the door to the storehouse under Yu Can's instruction and led the Yu Clan elders inside.
On the stone floor of the storehouse, pieces of shining spirit stones were piled up into a mountain.
At first glance, there were more than ten thousand of them!
The dazzling light emanating from the ten thousand spirit stones made all of the Yu Clan elders feel dizzy, as if they were in a beautiful dream.
"W-what's going on?"
"Am I so old that I'm starting to hallucinate?"
"Spirit stones! They're all spirit stones! Since when did our Yu Clan's storehouse have so many spirit stones? "
"Ah Can, tell me, is this real?"
One elder after another clutched at the hem of Yu Can's garments as they stared at him with pleading eyes.
It was as if they were looking at endless hope.
"You're not hallucinating." Yu Wei stepped forward, picked up the spirit stones, and handed them to the respected elders, saying, "You can examine them."
While the elders were cheering, Yu Wei himself was also in a daze.
Earlier, when he had been brought here by Yu Hu and seen with his own eyes, he had also been shocked.
"The Yu Clan will no longer be under the Su Clan's control!"
Yu Can, the old man, said with a powerful voice. Then, he sighed and said, "Perhaps one day, our Yu Clan will become a prestigious family of alchemists in the empire, just like the Su Clan. Instead of being a family that cultivates medicinal plants at the bottom of the hierarchy! "
"Can, tell me the truth," the elder exclaimed excitedly. "Is there really an alchemist in our Yu Clan?"
The others gradually came to their senses, their old eyes shining.
A true alchemist! What would it mean for the Yu Clan to have an alchemist?
Looking at their expectant and even praying eyes, Yu Can nodded slowly.
Cheers that seemed to have been suppressed for years suddenly echoed out in the storehouse.
