Jade Marrow Fluid

"Jade Marrow Fluid!" Chen Mo cried out in surprise. He had never expected there to be Jade Marrow Fluid inside this stone—it was far beyond his expectations. At 5.5 million, it was simply too cheap, and someone else had paid for it. Chen Mo only wanted to say: if there was another chance, come at me again!

The Pill Formula mentioned Jade Marrow Fluid. It could be used as medicine or consumed on its own. It was a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth that could strengthen a cultivator's True Essence and cleanse the marrow. More importantly, Jade Marrow Fluid could revive the dead and regrow flesh from bones. Even Ordinary People could take it.

It was different from Spiritual Liquid, which was formed by liquefied Spiritual Energy. Spiritual Liquid could aid cultivators in their training, increase their True Essence, accelerate their cultivation speed, and was an indispensable sacred aid for breakthroughs and advancement. However, it could not revive the dead or regrow flesh from bones. Moreover, if an ordinary person consumed it, the Spiritual Energy within would absolutely make their body explode. It could be said that Spiritual Liquid was poison to Ordinary People—an unbelievably potent poison.

When Chen Mo saw the Jade Marrow Fluid, he immediately thought of his parents' health. He could first use Stream Water to regulate their bodies, then, after a year or two, have them take the Jade Marrow Fluid for maximum effect. He had been worrying about how to improve his parents' health, but Jade Marrow Fluid had appeared out of nowhere. His happiness was boundless.

He took a piece of Bean Green jade and used his Spiritual Sense to fashion it into a Jade Bottle. Then he removed all the Jade Marrow Fluid and poured it into the bottle. There was nearly a little over two hundred milliliters of Jade Marrow Fluid, enough to make Chen Mo gloat for quite a while. Still, it was too soon to let his parents drink it.

Chen Mo looked over the environment Inside Universe Bead. Apart from the White Jade Platform, everywhere else was completely flat, without even a place to set things down. It seemed he needed to commission or make a storage room himself.

Other than that piece of Imperial Green, Chen Mo used his Spiritual Sense to turn all the other jade into Formation Base materials Inside Universe Bead. Each piece was roughly one finger long, two fingers wide, and one centimeter thick. He did not throw away the leftover scraps. Instead, he put them into a cloth bag and placed it on the steps of the jade platform. Some of the scraps were still quite large and could be carved into pendants or set into ring faces or earrings. Once his craftsmanship improved, he could make something out of them.

The large piece of Imperial Green was also placed on the steps of the jade platform, with cork and other soft materials padded beneath it to keep it secure. Turning it into a Formation Base now felt far too wasteful. He had not yet shaken off the habits of a poor loser—he could not bear to use good things. So he would store it away for now and use it as a Formation Base once he made up his mind.

After cultivating for an entire night, Chen Mo woke up refreshed and clear-headed. He first went to the kitchen, filled the kettle with Stream Water, warmed it slightly, and brought it to his parents for their morning drink.

Since returning home two days ago, Chen Mo had been letting his parents drink the Stream Water from Inside Universe Bead. He told them it was Mineral Water he had prepared himself, that it was good for the body and difficult to make. He said this mainly because, if word got out, he would at least have an explanation ready. The improvements in his parents' health had been considerable. After only two days of drinking it, both of them could clearly feel the difference. Their old minor ailments had vanished, especially Father Chen Jianguo's back pain from years of hard labor, which had not bothered him for two days.

Chen Mo was also overjoyed by his parents' delight. Being able to keep them healthy and let them live long lives fulfilled one of his greatest wishes. Still, he warned them not to tell anyone about the Mineral Water he made. Only the family could drink it; they could not let others find out and invite trouble.

Everyone in the family had a cup of warm water after getting up, so ever since Chen Mo returned, he had prepared the Stream Water every morning, heated it, and brought it to his parents.

However, his parents had begun to complain. They did not know why, but whenever they woke up, they were drenched in foul-smelling sweat that was dirty and hard to wash off. If they had not felt refreshed, comfortable, and perfectly normal every early morning after waking up, they would have wanted to go to the hospital. There was no Shower Room at home. Apart from summer, when they could rinse off in the makeshift washroom in the backyard, they had to boil water and wipe themselves down with a basin.

Chen Mo felt helpless. He had been a little too impatient. Even this Stream Water had brought great changes to his parents, but it had also caused the elderly couple some inconveniences in daily life. The conditions at home needed to change as well; at the very least, the house needed renovating. As for the next few days, if necessary, he would have his parents stop drinking the Stream Water for now and resume in 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. These past few years, everyone has had a little money, and more people have been building homes, so his business came at the right time. Why are you asking?" Father Chen Jianguo asked.

"I want to fix up the house and build another bathroom. Now that I'm back, there isn't even a place to take a bath. It's really inconvenient!" Chen Mo said. He knew his parents had been feeling miserable these past few days. If they could not at least wipe themselves down, they would definitely stink all over.

Chen Jianguo had wanted to object, but the words died in his throat. Ever since Er Wa had returned these past few days, he did not know what had changed. Perhaps his mood had improved. He ate more, his old ailments no longer hurt, and he woke up energetic in the morning. The only problem was that he always sweated at night, becoming drenched in sweat and reeking all over. The house really did need a room for bathing, and Er Wa had some money now, so there was nothing much to stop.

"Fine! You handle it, but save where you can. Don't spend money recklessly!" Father had lived in poverty his whole life and had long developed the habit of being frugal.

"Got it!" Chen Mo replied with a smile.

After breakfast, he rode the family's only small motorcycle out to find Chen Ming and discuss the matter.

"Oh? Isn't this the Chen family's university student? Why are you back at this time?" After a sedan overtook Chen Mo's small motorcycle, it stopped in front of him. Once Chen Mo rode up beside it, someone spoke.

Chen Mo saw that it was Erhu from the village, a local hoodlum. He was two years older than Chen Mo, but never much of a decent person. They used to clash constantly and had fought more times than Chen Mo could count. Yet every time they fought, Erhu Suffered losses. He had never once beaten Chen Mo.

"Chen Erhu, are you itching for another beating? What the hell does me coming back have to do with you?" Chen Mo glared at Erhu.

"I-I was just asking. I didn't expect you to come back before university vacation started. I was curious!" Chen Erhu grew flustered when Chen Mo glared at him. Chen Mo had beaten him up enough in the past to scare him, and deep down, he was afraid of Chen Mo.

After entering high school, he had even gathered several people to cause trouble for Chen Mo, only for Chen Mo to knock down all of them by himself. Deep in his bones, he feared Chen Mo.

"Scram! My business is none of your concern." Chen Mo cursed, then rode away on his small motorcycle.

Chen Erhu spat gloomily and cursed, "Who the hell do you think you are, shouting at your Tiger like that? Since you're back, just wait for it."

Over the past few years, Chen Erhu had partnered with others in the County Town to run arcade halls and Video Halls, then later opened an Internet Cafe and a Building Materials Store. He had made some money, which greatly bolstered his courage. Back in the village, he was the loud, swaggering type who always raised his voice when speaking to others.

After Chen Mo graduated high school and got into university, he rarely came home, so Chen Erhu had gradually let go of his thoughts of revenge. But today, he had seen Chen Mo on the road and recognized him at once, leading to what had just happened. He had not expected that one glare from Chen Mo would make his hair stand on end, leaving him too afraid to put on airs in front of him.

Still, Chen Erhu was not someone who gave up so easily. He planned to find an opportunity to teach Chen Mo a proper lesson and settle their old score!

I hope everyone will support me with a recommendation ticket. This elementary school student thanks you all!
