On the night of Jiang Anan's birthday, apart from Jiang Wang who was regretful that he didn't have time to show off his culinary skills, everyone had a great time.
After the festivities ended, Zhao Rucheng returned home.
He sat quietly in his study for a while before he heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
"Thank you for your hard work today, Uncle Deng." Although Zhao Rucheng's sitting posture was casual, his tone was filled with respect and intimacy.
The housekeeper of the Zhao Estate, who was addressed as Uncle Deng, stood properly and smiled warmly. "That Burnout Spear was very good. Every generation brings forth new talents. I feel like I'm getting old."
"How can that be? When we walk on the street, people think you're my older brother. "
Uncle Deng's expression didn't change. He only said, "Seniority is order."
Zhao Rucheng opened his mouth. He probably wanted to say something, but he knew that it was useless, so he could only remain silent.
It was Uncle Deng who spoke. "I didn't expect that at my old age, I would act again just to buy a little girl's favorite candy figurine."
Zhao Rucheng smiled mischievously. "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Deng."
"That little girl is very cute."
Zhao Rucheng was very proud. "Of course! That's my little sister! "
Uncle Deng looked at him and repeated, "She's very cute."
The smile on Zhao Rucheng's face suddenly disappeared.
There was even a trace of sorrow on that handsome, almost always indifferent face.
He was silent for a while and said, "I understand."
… …
On the second day of Jiang Anan's birthday, Aunt Song asked someone to deliver a jade bracelet. It was a birthday gift for Jiang Anan. Because of the long journey, it was late by a day.
Along with it was a jade pendant for Jiang Wang. She probably wanted to curry favor with Jiang Wang because she was afraid that he would stop her from contacting her daughter.
After seeing the gift, Jiang Anan didn't say anything, but it was obvious that she liked it very much. She put it away in her little box like it was a treasure.
For Jiang Wang, his encounter with Xiong Wen instantly extinguished the little bit of arrogance he had after winning first place in the Three Cities Dao Exchange.
However, he also gained considerable benefits from this battle.
First of all, after killing Xiong Wen, the amount of Dao Energy in the Heavenspan Palace skyrocketed. It wasn't far from the completion of the foundation.
Next was Zhu Weiwo. After fulfilling the mission of killing the Heart Devouring Demon, he very justly waved his hand and gave him 500 Dao Points. It was said that Zhu Weiwo himself had obtained more than 6000 Dao Merit Points during this mission. However, his Dao Merit Points on the Dao Merit Points Board had decreased instead of increasing. He was only left with 1000 Dao Merit Points. No one knew what treasure he had exchanged for.
Compared to Jiang Wang and the others who had to scrape together 100 Dao Merit Points, it could only be said that it was not difficult for true experts to obtain Dao Merit Points at all.
As for the final reward, it was the black candle that had somehow appeared in Tongtian Palace.
This was probably a treasure, but no matter how much Jiang Wang studied it, he couldn't figure it out. Right now, the most important thing for cultivation was to lay the foundation, which could only be explored in the future.
Of course, Jiang Wang would prepare a Meridian Unlocking Pill for each of Zhao Rucheng and Jiang Anan. As a disciple of the Dao Academy, Zhao Rucheng could directly exchange 100 Dao Points for a Meridian Unlocking Pill. As for Jiang Wang, he hadn't used his own share yet, so he left it for Anan.
Zhao Rucheng accepted Jiang Wang's Dao Merit Points without hesitation. He even asked with a grin, "Third Brother, I've taken a fancy to a magic sword that's worth 500 Dao Merit Points. I've saved up some for myself, but I still need some. Can you help me?"
Jiang Wang was very rich at this moment. He was very generous. "How much do you need?"
"499."
It really was a little!
"…" Jiang Wang kicked him. "Scram!"
However, after thinking about it, he still sighed. "I still need to leave 100 Dao Merit Points for Anan to exchange for a Meridian Unlocking Pill. I'll give you the remaining 300 Dao Merit Points."
"Don't!" Zhao Rucheng stopped him.
"What?"
"You can still give me Dao Merit Points. However, you should think about opening Anan's meridian Unlocking Pill again. "
Jiang Wang didn't quite understand. "Shouldn't opening meridian Unlocking Pill as soon as possible? If you're worried about the dangers of the Transcendent Realm, there's no need. I don't plan on letting Anan enter the Dao Academy. "
Cultivating in the Dao Academy was actually heavily subsidized by the imperial court. Thus, in terms of obligation, the disciples of the Dao Academy couldn't refuse some compulsory conscription missions. For example, cleaning the official roads, hunting down heretical demons, and so on. Danger was unavoidable.
Jiang Wang had the Dao Development Platform, so he didn't need to worry about cultivation techniques. Moreover, he could be Anan's teacher himself. In the end, he didn't expect Anan to become some kind of expert. He only hoped that she could be healthy and have some ability to protect herself.
Zhao Rucheng laughed bitterly. "Didn't you say it's not good to open meridian Unlocking Pill earlier?"
He hesitated for a moment, but still said, "If you want to open Anan's meridian Unlocking Pill, then don't use the Dao Academy's Meridian Unlocking Pill."
Jiang Wang's frown deepened. "Is there a problem with the Dao Academy's Meridian Unlocking Pill?"
"That's not it," Zhao Rucheng said straightforwardly. "The Meridian Unlocking Pill that can be exchanged for in the Dao Academy is of the lowest grade. Boss is already at this age, so we can't delay any longer. Anan is still young, so we can wait a little longer. If you want to open Anan's meridians, then you have to do your best to give her a better one. This way, her future cultivation path will be smoother.
I'm not saying that using the lowest grade Meridian Unlocking Pill will stop her from walking the Great Dao. Many experts also rose to prominence under the worst conditions, but it's still more difficult.
If this had happened before, I wouldn't have said this to you. After all, in an environment like Maplewood City, how many people would fight over something like the Meridian Unlocking Pill? It's already rare to have one. However, after you killed Xiong Wen, an elder of mine said that you have a chance. You have such a chance, and you can grow. In the future, you will be able to obtain better Meridian Unlocking Pills for Anan.
Anan is also my sister, so I hope that she can have less hardships in the future. "
Jiang Wang silently digested this for a while. He had always known that his youngest adopted brother had secrets, but he had never questioned him. Just like how he had obtained the key to enter the Great Illusionary Realm, none of his brothers had questioned him.
However, now it seemed that Zhao Rucheng's hidden secret was even greater than he had imagined.
After all, just his knowledge of the cultivation world was not something that could be nurtured by an ordinary family.
After all, Fang Pengju came from one of the three major surnames of Maplewood City, yet he had betrayed them for a Meridian Unlocking Pill. However, in Zhao Rucheng's words, this Meridian Unlocking Pill was not even worth mentioning.
He even knew that if he had not said that he wanted to open Anan's meridians, Zhao Rucheng would not have said these words.
"Meridian Unlocking Pills are divided into grades?" Jiang Wang asked.
"Of course. You know that the main ingredient of the Meridian Unlocking Pill is extracted from the Dao veins of a monster. However, there are strong and weak monsters, so there are naturally good and bad Dao veins. Do you think that the Meridian Unlocking Pills refined from different grades of Dao veins will be the same? "
"The Meridian Unlocking Pill you obtained from Zuo Guanglie is definitely not simple. The elder of my family said that your meridian opening was perfect, and it perfectly developed your potential. "
Jiang Wang fell silent.
He silently observed the small Earth Worm True Spirit in his Heavenly Palace for a while. He really could not see how it was related to "perfect meridian opening".
Wasn't this the lowest grade Earth Worm Meridian?
