Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1806: Chapter 1806: Ancestor

The waiter outside came in and delivered the Storage Bag. Dan Yang put it away.

”Ancestor, I’ll head out first. In four months I’ll go to the Western Immortal Emperor Realm.”

”Alright, be careful on the way.”

Qi Hong already knew this Ancestor had given ten thousand Immortal Crystals, so before leaving he handed over two Jade Boxes. Each Immortal Plant inside was worth more than ten thousand Immortal Crystals, though not by too much.

Lun Yao opened the Jade Boxes with a smile after they left. It really was quite interesting — they clearly didn’t want too many ties to him.

After master and disciple came out of Treasure Pavilion, they weren’t in a hurry to go back. ”I still have some lowest-level Elixirs here. Let’s go set up a stall and take a look. We won’t sell, we’ll trade.”

Qi Hong was willing to accompany his master. Anything was fine.

The Free Market wasn’t a place where you could just set up anywhere. They paid one Immortal Crystal, and someone arranged a spot for them.

Dan Yang prepared with a grin. ”This feeling is so distant, it goes back to when I was in the Qi Cultivation Stage.”

From the look of the two of them, it was obvious they weren’t the type to do business at all. Qi Hong set up a little sign that simply said they were trading Elixirs.

That of course was even more eye-catching. Dan Yang had already laid out all the Jade Bottles.

There really were a few people who gathered around.

”Senior, I want Recovery Pills. How do I trade for them?”

”One Recovery Pill for ten stalks of White Spirit Grass.”

”Senior, I have some here. Please take a look.”

For people like them, you could tell an Immortal Plant’s medicinal properties with just one look.

”That’ll do. You prepare your own Jade Bottle.”

This Heavenly Immortal looked at the round pill in his hand, then hurriedly put it away in excitement.

”Senior, I still want to trade for more.”

Dan Yang shook his head. ”No. One pill per person.”

Now all the onlookers came crowding in. This one wanted to trade for Recovery Pills, that one wanted Spirit Enhancing Pills, another one wanted Small Returning Pills.

Qi Hong just stood to the side and received the Immortal Plants.

”Fellow Daoist, wait a moment.”

An ordinary male cultivator looked at Qi Hong with full wariness. ”There’s nothing wrong with my Immortal Plants.”

”Fellow Daoist, I just wanted to ask you something.” Qi Hong was a bit helpless.

”They were gathered in Meteorite Valley.”

This Profound Immortal seemed afraid of what Qi Hong might ask, and left in a hurry.

Dan Yang was quite curious, but he didn’t ask just then.

All the low-level Elixirs were traded away for Immortal Plants, and only then did master and disciple head back.

The auction would start in just a few days, so they’d decided not to leave again during this stretch.

They didn’t know that not even an hour after they left, Lun Yao came looking. Seeing the stall empty and deserted, he thought to himself that he really had miscalculated. He’d only just come out of seclusion and truly hadn’t known those two juniors had such ability.

He didn’t feel any closeness toward them, so he hadn’t asked where they lived.

He just thought, they said they were going to the auction, so he’d see then.

He felt the terms Treasure Pavilion had offered were already extremely generous; they shouldn’t refuse.

In truth, he still looked down on them somewhat, thinking they were just as exaggerated as the rumors outside. After all, he’d been doing Alchemy for tens of millions of years — how could he not know the key points? How could there be such so-called top-grade Pregnancy God Pills?

The two of them returned to the small courtyard. It was quiet; everyone else should be cultivating.

With all these Immortal Plants in his hands, Dan Yang’s fingers naturally itched. After master and disciple split up, both hurried back into their rooms to refine Elixirs.

Qi Hong returned to his room and entered the space to refine Elixirs, thinking he still had to go to Meteorite Valley and take a look. The Immortal Plant he’d found today was something he’d never seen before. It felt like it should be the Saturn Grass he’d been searching for all this time. The thing was especially inconspicuous, and he hadn’t expected to discover it here.

It wasn’t until the day before the auction that everyone finally came out.

In such a short few days, you couldn’t see any changes at all.

”Mom, I want to eat something.” Qi Wen acted spoiled with her mother.

”Mom, I want to eat dumplings. Let’s make them together as a family.”

Su Yuanyuan naturally had no objections. Aside from their family, no one here knew mortal food very well. It was the first time they’d ever seen dumplings being made, and it was the Tan Family working together, a scene others would find hard to fit into.

They didn’t actually make that many, and each person ate very little.

But the process of wrapping the dumplings was quite fun. Once the plump dumplings were served, Qi Wen couldn’t wait and ate one right away.

”Mom, you really are right about speaking of things at just the right time. Back then, us three siblings loved it most when the whole family made dumplings together.”

Su Yuanyuan also ate one with a smile and nodded. ”Yes, but we can’t taste that old flavor anymore. If we hadn’t come to the Cultivation World, wouldn’t we already be long gone from this world?”

Gu Ersheng also couldn’t wait to eat one. ”Back then I used to wonder what dumplings tasted like. Now I’ve finally tried them. A bit disappointing, but I can be considered to have fulfilled my wish.”

The current Xiao Rue hadn’t eaten them before either; everyone tried one, and no one felt anything special.

But Tan Shaoting ate the most. His eyes were full of memories. Fate really was impossible to describe — the gap was too big. He truly hadn’t expected to be able to return to the Cultivation World.

When he’d brought the three children to the Cultivation World back then, he only had his wife on his mind. The one thing he wanted was for the whole family to be together; even long life held no attraction.

The family was finally together, and unexpectedly they still had the chance to come back to the Cultivation World.

And now they possessed a long life, the whole family able to be together for a very long time. He had thought about letting the children go solo, but if they did, the whole family would be stuck in endless worry.

The others were curious too. After finishing, they still didn’t feel anything special, and figured it must be the mood of eating dumplings that mattered, not the taste itself.

”I wonder if Tian Yan can come out. If he misses this, he’ll definitely regret it.”

Just as Pishi finished speaking, the Array on Xiao Tianyan’s room lit up with movement.

Everyone’s faces broke into smiles. Tian Yan and Liu Su had both advanced.

The two of them bowed together to Tan Shaoting. This was their gratitude for him not hoarding things and not treating them as outsiders.

”The auction starts at dawn. You really came out just in time.”

”Exactly, I didn’t want to miss it.”

At dawn, the group left for the auction. There really were a lot of people outside, which was only normal.

Tan Shaoting took out that Jade Token, and someone immediately came to receive them.

To be honest, he’d never imagined such a day — their meager cultivation being treated with such respect.

Even if it was only an Earth Room, it was enough to make many people envious.

Once they entered, it really was quite thoughtful inside: several kinds of Spiritual Tea and Spirit Fruits laid out.

They’d attended plenty of auctions back in the Cultivation World, but this was the first time since coming to the Immortal World.

Tian Yan sighed. ”Back then when we came from the North Immortal Emperor Realm to the Southern Immortal Emperor Realm, we just ran into an auction.

We even thought you might attend something so lively, but the six of us waited in the plaza for the auction to end and still never saw you.”

”At that time we were already at Broken Soul Mountain. Otherwise we really would’ve gone over to take a look.”
