Uncle Long courteously bowed and gestured toward the door after hearing his reply. Yu Tian did not expect him to react that way.
‘Am I being chased out?!
‘D*mn… Why did his attitude change so drastically?!’
Yu Tian was speechless. He still had so many doubts!
“I’ll answer your questions the next time we meet again. Now is not the time,” replied Uncle Long ambiguously before leading the young man back to the pavilion.
“See you next time,” he said to Yu Tian while smiling. Then, he walked into the pavilion alone.
Perplexed, Yu Tian shifted his gaze toward his three elder sisters who were nearby. They stared back at him. In the end, he forced a smile and shook his head.
‘Why is Uncle Long such a temperamental man? Why did he chase me out so quickly?’
Yu Tian simply did not understand. It was as if the older man was afraid to be asked more questions.
He approached his sisters but the three women simply led him out of the place quietly. It seemed like there was an unspoken rule between them.
After getting into the car, the talkative women began bombarding him with multiple questions.
Yu Tian smiled bitterly. He finally understood why women were called gossip queens.
“Elder sisters, I believe you already know the answers to your questions, and that you’re not supposed to know anything more,” he said plainly, mimicking Uncle Long’s way of speech.
Unexpectedly, this worked wonders. The women immediately stopped talking.
Frustrated, Chu Qing said, “They only chatted for a short while, but Yu Tian has already been infected by Uncle Long.”
“Elder sister Qing, who exactly is Uncle Long? Is he really capable?”
Yu Tian asked in a curious manner.
“Uncle Long is a senior member of the family. I heard that he’s almost in his seventies,” Chu Qing replied casually. Her answer surprised the young man.
‘Seventies?
‘He looked as if he was only in his early fifties!
‘Was this thanks to the power of cultivation that Uncle Long kept stressing about?’
Instinctively, Yu Tian caressed the delicate wooden box in his hands. He looked at it with expectant eyes.
It must be really precious since it was kept carefully in the Chu ancestral hall.
Yu Tian asked a few more questions but only received similar replies.
The women did not have the answers to his questions!
“Yu Tian, you don’t have to waste your energy. We are nowhere near the core of the family. Moreover, we’ve only met Uncle Long once before today,” said Chu Xin.
The young man stopped asking more questions.
Shortly later, the four of them arrived at home.
Yu Tian spoke with the women briefly before heading for his room.
He looked at the wooden box as if it was something precious. Finally, he opened it with the utmost caution.
The lock was undone and immediately, a pleasant scent filled the room.
Yu Tian could not help but inhale deeply. He felt extremely relaxed while indulging in the pleasant scent.
The item in the box was a piece of old, red satin that looked as if it had been stored for a long time.
Yu Tian picked it up with care and unfolded it, revealing an ancient book.
The cover of the book was made of animal leather. It was beneath a thick layer of patina and was still in good condition.
Only one word was written on the cover – Yu.
It was written in ancient writing, thus, it took Yu Tian a while to recognize it.
The young man could hear his own heart pound as he began reading the book’s content.
Although he was not used to ancient Chinese, he managed to grasp the context without much difficulty. The characters made sense once they were put together in sentences.
After briefly scanning through, Yu Tian let out a long sigh and wiped off the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand.
His face appeared calm, yet, his hands were shaking.
The contents of the ancient book were a compilation of cultivation methods passed down by the Yu family’s ancestors. It also recorded the method of cultivating the Golden Core!
As for the second half of the book, it was specifically about the Yu family’s ancestors’ insights throughout their cultivation journey.
Yu Tian’s father had written down his experiences as well. However, the man had only attained the peak of Qi Condensation Stage. He was many stages behind in comparison to the core formation experts that were mentioned in the first half of the book.
“Sigh…”
Yu Tian let out a long sigh.
“So… Cultivation really does exist…” he said to no one in particular.
This was even more outrageous than suddenly having one hundred and eight elder sisters that fulfilled all his wishes!
However, looking at his father’s handwriting cleared some of his doubts.
No wonder his father had always been so strong. He even caused sleepless nights due to the loud noises he made.
Then, Yu Tian slapped himself. How could he criticize his father like that? He was trying his best to become strong!
Yu Tian placed the Yu Cultivation Method Book aside. Suddenly, a note left inside the box caught his attention.
His father’s handwriting was scribbled across the note.
‘Yu Tian, as a father, I didn’t want to involve you in the cultivation world because there’s too much cruelty here. If you’re reading this, it means that we really can’t escape from destiny. Our family has a cultivation background. Although we’re declining in influence, we’re still powerful. Right now, you have to practice cultivation diligently by using the Yu family’s methods. It will help improve your cultivation base in a short amount of time.
In order to shield you from danger, your grandfather and I had cast restrictive spells on you. There’s a Barrier Breaking Pill inside the box. Consuming that will lift the restrictive spells in your body. That way, you can start your cultivation journey. You’re the only lineage left of the Yu family. You must become strong. More than tens of thousands of people need your protection!
Your pendant is an important treasure handed down from generation to generation within our family. However, its purpose is still unknown. You’ll have to find the answers by yourself. There’s something else inside the box that’s related to the pendant. You must keep it with utmost care.
I don’t have much time to explain further. Remember, your mother and I will always love you. Take care, my son.
Oh right, marry often and father many children!
The more the better!’
…
The letter was short but Yu Tian could feel his parents’ overwhelming love.
Yu Tian was not too surprised at the fact that thousands of people needed his protection. Otherwise, why were all his one hundred and eight older sisters so eager to become his wife?
Still, he did not really understand what his father meant by marrying often and fathering many children.
He understood the importance of having many children, but marrying many wives?
Although this was a dream of many men, they were currently living in a lawful society!
Besides, was it a good idea to get married at such a young age?
Perplexed, Yu Tian shook his head and dismissed the thoughts. He placed the letter aside and sighed before lifting the jade bottle wrapped in a soft cloth. There was a delicate and round object inside.
“Breaking Barrier Pill? Father is already incredibly strong. I wonder how much more powerful is grandfather in comparison? A Foundation Establishment expert? Tsk tsk!”
Yu Tian had read numerous novels before. Hence, he knew that having the ability to cultivate was amazing.

Given the Yu Family’s current unfavorable situation, the Chu Family had no reason to treat him like a king.
Becoming an expert must be a grueling task!
Yu Tian shook his head. The idea of being an expert cultivator seemed a faraway goal. He still wanted to enjoy the life of being wealthy!
Lastly, Yu Tian turned his gaze to the remaining object left in the box.
