Chapter 2023: Now Strong Enough to Support the Family
“Sister, what is this? It’s so amazing! I can even lift up the table now!” Little Bean flexed his arm a bit.
For a five-year-old child to lift up a table, required a shocking amount of strength.
“Have you cultivated any energy?” Ning Shu asked.
“Yes! It’s swimming in my stomach,” said Little Bean as he jumped excitedly.
“Big Sister will teach you how to release that energy. Use your mental strength,” Ning Shu instructed Little Bean.
However, Little Bean was small and had a limited comprehension ability. As a result, Ning Shu could only ask Little Bean to practice by himself a lot.
When Mother Yue came back, her face was filled with exhaustion. She saw Ning Shu and breathed a sigh of relief. “You finally came back. You were gone for so long without any news. Your father and I were worried to death.”
“Mother, didn’t I end up fine in the end?” Ning Shu gave Mother Yue the bag on the table. “From now on, you don’t have to wash or starch or mend clothing. I am now strong enough to support the family.”
When Mother Yue took the bag and felt its weight, she couldn’t help but change her expression. Upon opening it, she saw it was filled with golden coins.
Mother Yue looked a little panicked. “Where did this money come from?”
“I got some monster crystals and sold them for some money. This way you won’t have to work anymore,” Ning Shu said. “Get something delicious for the family.”
“The money needs to be saved.” Mother Yue put away the bag and hid it.
They had suddenly become so wealthy; Mother Yue couldn’t help but feel a little scared.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but say, “Mother, it’s okay. This time when I went out to train, my summoned beast became much stronger.” Ning Shu released Little Grass.
Ning Shu told Little Grass to make its appearance a bit more dramatic and for once it was quite obedient. The moment it appeared, its vines directly covered the entire room including the ceiling.
Its roots plunged deep and plowed into the floor.
Ning Shu facepalmed. This great blade of grass.
Mother Yue’s expression was dazed. She seemed too stunned to react.
“Big Sister, you are so great! You’re too amazing!” Little Bean clapped his hands. “I just knew Big Sister would become a powerful summoner!”
Ning Shu put Little Grass away. The floor seriously couldn’t be looked at anymore.
It really was like the cliche of only being able to be handsome for three seconds.
“How did you do it?” Mother Yue asked Ning Shu. “Why is your summoned beast suddenly so strong?”
“When I went out to train, it absorbed some monster crystals and monster corpses,” Ning Shu explained.
Mother Yue nodded, “So it was like this. It’s good that you’ve gotten stronger. That way, you can protect yourself. It’s really good.”
The rims of Mother Yue’s eyes were a little red. Ning Shu said, “Mother, you don’t need to wash or starch or mend clothes anymore. I can provide for you guys now.”
“Okay, okay. I’m going to go cook.” Mother Yue put away the gold coins.
Ning Shu decided to go out to get a pill furnace and start making wisdom pills. She said to Mother Yue, “I need to head out for a bit.”
“Okay, come back quickly.” Mother Yue’s voice became much lighter.
Ning Shu went to the shop to see if there was a pill furnace.
Ning Shu didn’t think there would be pill furnaces in this world so she was shocked when she found one. It turned out that medicine masters refined their medicine in pill furnaces.
Looking at it like this, the medicine of this world was more like a semi-finished pill.
Ning Shu bought a slightly more expensive pill furnace. Inferior pill furnaces would easily explode and the materials for wisdom pills were not easy to find. If the furnace exploded, then she would have failed in refining the pill.
Ning Shu went home carrying the furnace on her shoulders. Father Yue had already gotten home and was using mud to fill up the cracks in the floor made by the vines.
“What did you buy this for?” Yue Xing asked.
