I'll Find Someone Younger

The moment the pill went down her throat, the change in her expression became apparent.

Once the heat subsided, my aunt felt refreshed. She picked up her phone, turned on the screen, and immediately covered her mouth in shock.

The face on the screen was completely different from before. The skin was firm, and the eyes were bright. The person looked to be in their early twenties, not even thirty.

"This... this is impossible..."

She stared blankly, her hands trembling, then noticed that her face and neck were sticky with a layer of black mud, which smelled fishy.

Shen Jingchuan stood to the side and explained gently.

"Auntie, don't be afraid. These are impurities in your body being forced out by the medicine. It's a good thing."

Just then, the door to the private room opened, and Meng Ke walked in, followed by a waiter carrying a basin of warm water.

Meng Ke walked a few steps to his aunt and took the basin of water from her.

"Auntie, please wash your face first."

She then brought another basin of water to her uncle's side so he could wash himself.

My aunt carefully washed the mud off her face and neck with water, and when she looked at the reflection with her phone, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

That young face was clearly displayed on the phone screen.

Shen Jingchuan winked at Meng Ke understood and turned to dismiss the waiter, gently closing the door behind him.

Only when everyone in the private room was family did Shen Jingchuan speak again.

"Uncle, Aunt, it's okay if you don't want to eat it, just give it back to me. But once you leave this room, you mustn't tell anyone else about this."

My aunt looked at herself in the mirror, still as if in a dream, then suddenly turned her head to look at her uncle beside her, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

I said, it's okay if you don't want to eat it.

She straightened her face.

"Anyway, I'm young now. We'll get a divorce later, and I'll find someone younger."

Upon hearing this, the uncle-in-law didn't dare hesitate any longer and grabbed the pills, stuffing them into his mouth.

"I'll eat, I'll eat, I'll eat right now, don't even think about abandoning me."

His hurried manner made everyone in the room laugh.

Seeing the changes in her uncle and aunt, and hearing these words, her aunt no longer hesitated. She picked up her own pill and swallowed it with a smile.

As soon as the pill went down, she felt a warm sensation all over her body. Black grime seeped out from her face and neck, and she looked visibly more than ten years younger.

After the four elders had finished tidying up, their expressions still showing surprise, Shen Jingchuan straightened his expression and looked at everyone.

"The reason I insisted that you swallow the pills in front of me is because I'm afraid that if they stay in your hands, they might accidentally get out."

"Just think about it, what would happen if outsiders found out that such a miraculous thing existed in this world?"

The people in the private room were all adults, and after he explained it, they all understood and nodded in agreement.

"What you eat is actually the safest."

Shen Jingchuan paused, then gave further instructions.

"However, we can't let our guard down. The changes in you before and after are too great. From now on, when you go out, it's best to wear a hat and a mask, and try to be as low-key as possible."

He changed the subject, his tone revealing a hint of confidence.

"But you don't need to be afraid."

"I'm not the ordinary nephew you used to be. If anyone is watching you, or if you sense anything is wrong or there's danger, call Meng Ke immediately."

"I have some things to do and am often away from here, but she's always there to help you."

After hearing Shen Jingchuan's words, everyone felt uneasy.

Shen Jingchuan glanced at them and decided to speak frankly.

"My friend and I discovered a mysterious place, completely different from ours. It's filled with dense Spiritual Qi, and people can cultivate there."

Upon hearing this, the aunt couldn't hold back any longer and glared at him.

"Xiaochuan, don't scare your aunt. Is there really such a thing as cultivating immortality?"

Shen Jingchuan smiled and pointed to her face.

"Otherwise what? Look at your face. In this world, where is there any medicine that can turn a person back to their twenties so quickly?"

The four people looked at each other, speechless.

Shen Jingchuan raised his hand, gently pinched two fingers together, and with a snap, a small flame appeared out of thin air on his fingertip, flickering eerily.

"There are too many people and too much attention here, so I can't give you a lot of demonstrations."

"Let me put it this way: I wouldn't dare say I can fly or teleport, but in this world, I'm afraid there's no one who can be my match."

He pulled his hand back, and the flame went out instantly.

"I have a few friends who will keep an eye on your daily lives for me. Just live your lives quietly, don't panic or be afraid of anything else."

My aunt and uncle exchanged a glance, then leaned closer and asked expectantly.

"Xiaochuan, then... then, can we also cultivate with you?"

Shen Jingchuan was taken aback, then nodded.

"Okay, sure, I happen to have Spirit Testing Stone with me."

"This cultivation requires Spirit Roots; without Spirit Root, you can't cultivate. You're all getting old, so even if you have Spirit Roots, unless they're exceptionally good, your potential won't be very high. But if it's actually detected, I can give you some resources to strengthen your bodies and help you live a few more years—that's never a bad thing."

As he spoke, he took out Spirit Testing Stone from his Storage Ring and placed it on the table.

"Come on, one by one, just put your hand on it. If you have Spirit Roots, it will light up."

My aunt's husband was the most anxious and was the first to put his hand on it.

The Spirit Testing Stone remained completely still, a dull gray, without a single glimmer of light. The anticipation on Uncle's face froze.

My aunt reached out her hand and waited for a while, but the stone still didn't react.

"I... I don't have any either?"

Shen Jingchuan was actually somewhat surprised. He had thought that since he had Spirit Roots and was connected by blood, the elders would be more likely to detect Spirit Root.

Then, my uncle and aunt also tried it.

As a result, one after another, the Spirit Testing Stones never lit up from beginning to end.

None of the four people had Spirit Roots, not even a hidden one.

Seeing the undisguised disappointment on everyone's faces, Shen Jingchuan quickly put away the Spirit Testing Stones and comforted them with a smile.

"Don't take it to heart. This is all about fate; the proportion of people with Spirit Roots is very low."

"Our family is harmonious and happy, and you are all healthy and strong, which is better than anything else."

Although everyone still felt some regret, after Shen Jingchuan's comforting explanation, they gradually came to their senses and accepted reality. They were amazed in their hearts that their nephew had truly encountered an extraordinary fortuitous opportunity.

The family chatted for a while at the restaurant entrance before Shen Jingchuan saw off the elders and then took Meng Ke home.

After parking the car downstairs at Meng Ke's house, Shen Jingchuan hugged her and kissed her.
