"Jade Marrow Fluid!" Chen Mo exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected this stone to contain Jade Marrow Fluid; it was far beyond his expectations. The price of 5.5 million was simply too cheap, and someone else had paid for it. Chen Mo could only think, if there's another chance, aim for me!
Jade Marrow Fluid was introduced in pill formulas and could be used as medicine or taken on its own. It was a spiritual item of heaven and earth, capable of enhancing a cultivator's True Essence and possessing the effect of Marrow Cleansing. And most importantly, Jade Marrow Fluid could revive the dead and heal bone injuries. Ordinary people could also take it.
It was different from the Spiritual Energy Liquid liquefied into Spiritual Liquid. Spiritual Liquid could help cultivators with their cultivation, increase True Essence, and speed up cultivation. It was also an indispensable auxiliary sacred item for breakthroughs and advancements. However, it lacked the effect of reviving the dead and healing bone injuries. Furthermore, if an ordinary person consumed it, they would absolutely explode from the Spiritual Energy within. One could say Spiritual Liquid was poison to ordinary people, incredibly potent poison.
Seeing the Jade Marrow Fluid, Chen Mo thought of his parents' health. He could first use Stream Water to condition their bodies, and after a year or two, they could then take this Jade Marrow Fluid to achieve its maximum efficacy. He had been racking his brain on how to condition his parents' bodies, and unexpectedly, Jade Marrow Fluid appeared. This was truly boundless happiness.
He took a Bean Green jade stone and used his Spiritual Sense to fashion it into a jade bottle. Then, he extracted the Jade Marrow Fluid and filled the jade bottle completely. There was a little over two hundred milliliters of Jade Marrow Fluid, which made Chen Mo quite pleased for a while. However, it was still too early for his parents to drink this.
Chen Mo looked at the environment inside the Universe Bead. Apart from the White Jade Platform, the rest of the area was flat as far as the eye could see, with no place to put things. It seemed he needed to commission or build a warehouse himself.
Except for that Imperial Green jade, Chen Mo used his Spiritual Sense to turn the other jade stones into formation base materials inside the Universe Bead. They were all about a finger long, two fingers wide, and one centimeter thick. The remaining scraps were not discarded but were put into a Cloth Bag and placed on the steps of the jade stone platform. Some of these scraps were still quite large and could be carved into pendants or inlaid as ring faces or earrings. When his craftsmanship improved, he could make them.
The large piece of Imperial Green was also placed on the steps of the jade stone platform, with soft wood or similar materials placed underneath to secure it. If he were to make it into a formation base now, he felt a pang of reluctance. He hadn't shed his former poor-boy persona yet; he was reluctant to use good things. So, he decided to keep it for now and use it directly as a formation base when he made up his mind later.
After a night of cultivation, he felt refreshed and invigorated upon waking up in the Morning. He first went to the Kitchen, filled the kettle with Stream Water, heated it slightly, and then gave it to his parents for them to drink early in the morning.
For the two days Chen Mo had been back, he had been giving his parents the water from inside the Universe Bead, which was Stream Water. He told them it was a special mineral water he had concocted, beneficial to the human body and difficult to prepare. He said this mainly to have an explanation if the matter ever got out. His parents' bodies had shown significant improvement. After just two days of drinking it, they both felt a noticeable difference in their bodies. Some minor ailments they had previously had were gone, especially the back pain his father suffered from due to hard work, which hadn't bothered him for two days.
Chen Mo was also extremely happy about his parents' surprise. Being able to make his parents healthy and live long lives was fulfilling a major wish. However, he did caution his parents that they couldn't tell anyone about the mineral water he concocted, and that it was only for the family to drink. He didn't want anyone else to know and cause trouble.
It was a family habit to drink a cup of warm water every morning after waking up. Since Chen Mo returned, he had been preparing the Stream Water every morning, heating it, and giving it to his parents.
However, his parents had also started complaining. They didn't know why, but they always woke up sweating profusely, and it was very dirty and difficult to wash off. If it weren't for the refreshing feeling they had upon waking up, which felt very comfortable and normal, they would have gone to the hospital to get checked. There was no place to bathe at home. Except in the summer, when they could rinse off in the makeshift shower room in the Backyard, at other times they had to boil water and wash themselves with a basin.
Chen Mo felt helpless. He was also a bit anxious. Even this Stream Water had brought about such good changes for his parents, but it had also caused some inconvenience in their lives. Therefore, the family's situation needed to change. At the very least, the house needed to be renovated. As for the current days, if it was unbearable, he would have his parents temporarily stop drinking the Stream Water and resume after a few days.
"Dad! Do you know if Uncle Ming in the village is still building houses for people?" Chen Mo asked.
"Chen Ming? He's still building houses. Everyone has some money these days, so more people are building houses, and his business is doing well. Why are you asking?" Father Chen Jianguo asked.
"I want to tidy up the house and also build a Bathroom. I've come back, and there's not even a place to bathe; it's very inconvenient!" Chen Mo said. He knew his parents had been uncomfortable these past few days. If they couldn't even wash themselves, they would have stunk terribly.
Chen Jianguo initially wanted to object, but he swallowed his words as he opened his mouth. These past few days, since Er Wa returned, he didn't know what was going on. Perhaps he was in a better mood, ate more, his old ailments no longer hurt, and he had a lot of energy in the morning. The only thing was that he sweated a lot at night, not only profusely but also with a foul odor. The house indeed needed a bathroom, and Er Wa now had some money, so there was nothing to stop him.
"Alright! You handle it, but be economical. Don't waste money!" His father, having lived a life of poverty, had long developed a habit of saving.
"Got it!" Chen Mo replied with a smile.
After breakfast, he rode the family's only Motorcycle out to find Chen Ming to discuss matters.
"Oh?! Isn't this the university student from the Chen family? Why are you back at this time?" A Sedan car overtook Chen Mo's Motorcycle, then stopped in front of him. After Chen Mo rode up, the person said.
Chen Mo saw that it was Er Hu from the village, a local troublemaker. He was two years older than Chen Mo but wasn't a well-behaved person. They used to clash often, and they had fought countless times. However, Er Hu always ended up on the losing end, never once winning against Chen Mo.
"Chen Er Hu, are you itching for a fight again? What business is it of yours that I'm back!" Chen Mo glared at Er Hu and said.
"I, I was just asking. I didn't expect you to be back before the university holidays ended, I was just curious!" Chen Er Hu's eyes darted away as he saw Chen Mo glare. He was a little flustered. He was somewhat afraid of Chen Mo because he had been beaten by him before, so he was genuinely scared of Chen Mo.
Moreover, after entering high school, he gathered a few people to cause trouble for Chen Mo, but they were all taken down by Chen Mo alone. Because of this, he was somewhat afraid of Chen Mo deep down.
"Get lost! I don't need you to worry about my business." Chen Mo cursed and rode away on his small motorcycle.
Chen Erhu spat on the ground, feeling depressed, and cursed, "What kind of person are you, yelling at your Tiger Lord like this? Since you're back, just you wait."
In recent years, Chen Erhu had partnered with others in the county town to run an arcade and a video hall, eventually opening an internet cafe and a building materials store. This had brought him some wealth, making him bolder. He was the type in the village who was daring and thick-necked, speaking much louder than others.
Since Chen Mo had gotten into university after graduating from high school, he rarely came home, so Chen Erhu had gradually given up on his thoughts of revenge. However, seeing Chen Mo on the road today and recognizing him at a glance led to the situation just now. But he hadn't expected that with just a glare from Chen Mo, Chen Erhu felt his hair stand on end and didn't dare to act tough in front of Chen Mo.
However, Chen Erhu was not someone who gave up easily. He planned to find an opportunity to properly deal with Chen Mo and settle the old scores!
Hope everyone supports me with a recommendation ticket. Your elementary school student thanks you all.
