Chapter 1488 - 469: Inquiry and Prudence, Inside Chen Cang, Returning in Glory and Sudden Thunder_4
The first day, the second day, the third day...
Xia Hong settled his mind and began to isolate himself for cultivation, while Zhang Yuzhu and her sister did the same outside. However, their progress was completely different.
On the fourth day of his isolation, which was October 22nd, Zhang Yuzhu broke through to the Cold Resistance Level with a basic strength of 107,000 pounds. On the sixth day, October 24th, her younger sister Zhang Yuhong broke through with a basic strength of 105,000 pounds.
The two granddaughters breaking through consecutively excited Zhang Qinggu so much that he came twice to bow gratefully to Xia Hong, but Xia Hong was in isolation and ignored him.
The Zhang family’s joyful events seemed to come one after another.
Just the day after Zhang Yuhong broke through to the Cold Resistance Level.
October 25th, during the daytime.
The elder grandson, Zhang Yuchuan, had actually come home.
"Grandfather, Chuan’er has come back to see you!"
In the Zhang family courtyard, Zhang Qinggu, with two granddaughters in tow, ran out quickly. Seeing the eldest grandson they hadn’t seen for nearly two years, aside from joy, his face was mixed with unfamiliarity, surprise, and even panic, a whole load of messy emotions.
The Zhang Yuchuan in front of him was dressed all in white, with a long sword hanging at his waist, a handsome face, and his full head of black hair tied behind with a silver hairpin. His bright eyebrows and eyes radiated with vigor and confidence, nowhere like the scruffy, slightly timid young man he had personally seen off last January.
Not only Zhang Qinggu but Zhang Yuzhu and Zhang Yuhong didn’t pounce on him like they usually did in the past, instead hiding behind their grandfather, looking at Zhang Yuchuan with unfamiliarity and confusion on their faces.
"Yuchuan, why are you wearing silk and adorned with silver? This is a serious crime of trespassing, and if seen by the Subordinate Bureau, you’ll be caught, quickly come in."
The eyes cannot lie. Although Zhang Qinggu was stunned for a while, upon meeting the young man’s eyes, he immediately confirmed his grandson’s identity and hurriedly pulled him into the side room.
Zhang Yuchuan let his grandfather pull him, turning his head to glance at the main house before entering the side room, his brows slightly furrowed, yet without saying much.
Bang......
Once inside, Zhang Qinggu quickly closed the door and then turned to carefully examine his grandson, noticing more and more familiar details until the unfamiliarity in his eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by thick joy.
"Yuchuan, you..."
Despite being full of confusion, when the words reached his mouth, Zhang Qinggu didn’t know where to start and was immediately at a loss for words.
Zhang Yuchuan knew exactly what he wanted to ask but wasn’t in a hurry. He first helped Zhang Qinggu sit in a chair before slowly speaking:
"Grandfather, don’t worry, thanks to the little lord’s favor, I successfully gained citizenship two months ago, so this clothing is no longer considered trespassing."
Upon hearing his grandson’s explanation, Zhang Qinggu was suddenly full of joy, then suddenly realized something, exclaiming with surprise, "Yuchuan, your strength..."
Just now in the courtyard, he had already noticed, he couldn’t discern his grandson’s strength.
Zhang Qinggu remembered clearly, it was this March that his grandson had sent word that he broke through to the Cold Resistance Level, his strength after breaking through was 2.8 Manes. It’s only October now, how much strength could he have gained in seven months?
"Grandfather, the little lord bestowed upon me many precious cultivation resources, I’ve already corrected the skin membrane defect, and have top-grade battle body talent. Now, I’m at the late-stage Cold Resistance cultivation with 16 Manes strength."
"Gulp... 16 Manes?"
Zhang Qinggu’s pupils dilated, unable to help but swallowed hard.
He himself may only have 6 Manes of strength, but with age, his experience was not low.
The strongest in Qingwu Village, the village chief and Subordinate Bureau Chief Zhang Long, was already 56 years old and only had 35 Manes of strength. His eldest son Zhang Ying, known as the village’s top talent, only had a superior battle body qualification. Currently, at 26 years old, his strength was 20 Manes.
Yet, his grandson, not even 20 years old yet, already had 16 Manes of strength, with six years still to catch up, not to mention, his grandson had just said he already had top-grade battle body talent.
Such talent, never mind Qingwu Village, in the entire Lu River Valley, it would be ranked among the best.
However, Zhang Qinggu’s joy was far from over.
Zhang Yuchuan had been carrying a bundle, and he set it down after finishing speaking, taking out a large pile of items from it.
"Advanced Beast Meat and Beast Blood, White Fresh Powder, Mid-grade Spirit Wine Green Jade Brew, Jade Bone Pill for Cold Resistance cultivation, Cold Extreme Pill for enhancing strength at the peak of Cold Resistance, Blood Sculpting Pill for reshaping skin membrane..."
Zhang Qinggu only listened to a few items and was already dazed, his gaze fixated on his grandson’s bundle, unable to look away.
Because inside that bundle, there were two big silver ingots glaringly laid out.
Ordinary silver ingots, one piece weighs about 80 pounds, at most around 800 taels, naturally not enough to cause such a reaction. The issue was his grandson’s bundle contained these two silver ingots with ten forging patterns on each.
Ten forged silver ingots, with the same volume, but weigh ten times more, meaning these two silver ingots weigh 800 pounds each, totaling 16,000 taels!
He had lived frugally his entire life and only saved over 5000 taels of silver.
Yet his grandson had returned with 16,000 taels?
"Grandfather, just this Cold Extreme Pill alone is more precious than silver..."
Seeing his grandfather’s gaze, Zhang Yuchuan couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing yet touching, but this comment was one he’d naturally only make in his heart. If it weren’t for his grandfather spending money to send him to Yanling County Chen Mansion, how would he have today’s achievements?
"Grandfather, I’ve already bought a house in Yanling City. This time I’m back to take you, Yuzhu, and Yuhong to the County City to enjoy life, also..."
