The Crazy Son-In-Law

Xiao Shun’s face rarely showed such a bewildered expression.

But what happened before him caught him off guard!

He had been speculating that the box might contain some kind of “water attribute” strange energy, which could seal the anomaly of the “Fire Spirit Stone” within its internal space.

With this suspicion in mind, Xiao Shun immediately noticed a special feature on the box and tentatively pulled it.

What happened next was incredibly exhilarating for him!

“Could this be the legendary ‘finding something without searching for it in vain’?”

With a smile on his face, Xiao Shun took the pale blue bead in his hand.

The moment he held it, he suddenly felt a warm energy flowing into his body from the bead.

After a refreshing sensation washed over him, all his fatigue vanished!

Feeling refreshed all over, Xiao Shun burst into laughter.

“Haha, it’s indeed the ‘Water Spirit Stone’!”

His master’s notes had carefully marked the various extraordinary effects of the Five Elements Spirit Stones.

After experiencing the changes in his body, Xiao Shun already knew that this bead was one of the “Five Spirit Stones” he had been desperately searching for!ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

He never expected to obtain a “Water Spirit Stone” through such a fortuitous coincidence!

“Luck has come, and nothing can stop it!”

Saying this, Xiao Shun held the “Water Spirit Stone” as if it were a precious treasure, with a beaming smile on his face.

He didn’t know how Miao Ruohu and his group managed to auction off this treasure box containing both the “Water Spirit Stone” and the “Fire Spirit Stone”!

Regardless, Xiao Shun felt that the two billion he spent today was worth every penny.

So far, he had obtained two Spirit Stones, covering two of the Five Elements.

As long as he went to the mountains tomorrow and found the other three Spirit Stones, he would be able to help himself break through to the long-awaited “Consolidation” stage!

By then, Xiao Shun would be like his master, a cultivator of “Consolidation,” with the qualification to explore Kunlun Market and try his luck!

To this day, he still coveted the “Dao Fruit” and “Phoenix Blood” left behind by Antarctica House in Kunlun Market. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the qualifications to search for those two treasures.

But things would be different after he broke through to Consolidation.

“The ‘Three-Five Period’ is approaching. I must break through my cultivation at that time and have enough strength to move between the major Hidden Families. Even if I can’t win, I’ll have the ability to protect myself!”

Speaking up to this point, Xiao Shun’s gaze became sharp, with a determined expression on his face.

With the “Antarctic Directive” in hand, all he needed to do was follow the map instructions on it.

Although what was marked on it might not necessarily be where the two treasures were located.

But Antarctica House must have taken this route back then.

As long as he searched along the way, he didn’t believe that he wouldn’t find anything!

Excited in his heart, the night outside grew darker.

After a while, Xiao Shun fell asleep with a contented smile on his face.

The next day.

The weather in Heaverpool was clear and sunny. It was only past eight o’clock in the morning, but the sun was already shining brightly.

Although Xiao Shun had slept late last night, he woke up early.

When it was just getting light outside.

He had already gotten up and started practicing “Fight Book.”

After circulating Ethereal Essence according to the practice method in the manual for two weeks, Xiao Shun slowly stopped.

Looking at the bright sunlight outside the window, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

After some time of practice, he had become more proficient in controlling Ethereal Essence. His attacks were faster than before, and Ethereal Essence’s solidity had become more stable than before.

With the help of “Fight Book,” Xiao Shun now had some fighting power against a Consolidation Stage martial artist. Of course, he still couldn’t win in the end.

But if he wanted to escape, his opponent couldn’t do anything about it either.

“Linger should wake up by now. I should inform her about our plans and get ready to head to the mountains!”

Saying this, Xiao Shun moved off his bed.

He left his room and arrived at Song Linger’s room. He knocked on her door.

Before long, Song Linger opened the door with her backpack on her back and an excited look on her face.

“Master, I’m all packed and ready. We can leave now!”

Seeing her so eager, Xiao Shun didn’t know how to break it to her for a moment.

Seeing this, Song Linger asked puzzledly, “What’s wrong?”

Sighing helplessly, Xiao Shun finally told her about his plan.

“You should stay here in Heaverpool. It’s better for me to go to Meadowfolk alone!”

Song Linger’s excitement instantly vanished when she heard this. She looked at her master pitifully and asked, “Why?”

“Sigh.” Letting out a sigh, Xiao Shun explained honestly.

“If something goes wrong during my trip this time and you come along, I may not be able to protect you completely.”

The spiritual vein was of great importance. Although Master mentioned in his notes that it was a hidden place, no one could guarantee its safety now.

If Meadowfolks or Gu Clan had already discovered it or gained control over it, it wouldn’t be a joke anymore.

Moreover, Silvermeadows had made two moves regarding Spirit Stones in nearly twenty years. This made Xiao Shun suspect where their jade mine came from.

“Master is afraid that I will hold you back?”

Lowering her head, Song Linger sounded somewhat sad.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Shun smiled helplessly and reassured her.

“It’s not that I’m afraid you’ll hold me back; I’m worried that something might happen to you there. After all, it’s where experts of witchcraft gather. If you get injured there… wouldn’t I be derelict as your master?”

Shaking his head, he fell silent.

Song Linger nodded slightly. She wasn’t someone who would cause trouble for no reason.

Besides, she had learned how dangerous witchcraft could be yesterday. Naturally, she didn’t want to burden her master now.

“It’s difficult to defy my master’s orders. Since you’ve said so, I won’t act against your wishes.”

“That’s good!”

Xiao Shun felt relieved inside.

Then suddenly another thought came to him. He reminded Song Linger about something else before they parted ways temporarily.

“If you find staying in Heaverpool boring and want to go with Xia Li and others to Southeast Asia instead, you can go ahead early and gather information about Xia Family for me. That way I can provide them with treatment as soon as possible when I arrive.”

Song Linger quickly made her choice between Heaverpool and Southeast Asia.

Without any hesitation she chose to go with Xia Li to Southeast Asia.

Nodding in agreement with her decision, Xiao Shun continued, “Once you’re there, you can try using some elixirs first. If they don’t work well, you can wait for me. I’ll give them treatment when I arrive!”
