Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 95 Li Ru's Surprise and Xuan Tingwei's Invitation to Dinner (Please Subscribe)

"Ling'er, this time it's all thanks to the bamboo armor you crafted, otherwise not only Brother Chu, but even your father would be in danger!"

Back home, Li Ru took a sip of water, her face still showing lingering fear.

"Mother, Master Lin said the injury isn't serious and you'll be fine. You should go and get some sleep!"

Zhou Ling comforted him.

After examining Chu Xing, Master Lin determined that his injuries were not serious; it was merely that cold poison had entered his body.

It hasn't affected the meridians yet. As long as the cold toxins are removed and the patient recuperates for a period of time, they will be able to recover.

According to Master Lin Dan, the bamboo armor also played a key role in this incident.

If Teng Zhujia hadn't blocked the soul attack and the large amount of cold poison, the two of them would most likely have met with certain death.

Afterwards, Master Lin gave Chu Xing a fire-attribute healing pill.

After taking the pill, Chu Xing's condition improved significantly.

Only after seeing that Chu Xing was getting better did Li Ru and Zhou Ling leave.

Zhou Shan and several other members of the medicine-finding team stayed at the Chu family home to take care of Chu Xing.

"Sigh, I hope Brother Chu recovers soon. Your father has been able to go into the mountains all these years thanks to his help."

Li Ru sighed again.

Zhou Ling said with a smile, "Uncle Chu is a lucky man, he'll be fine!"

"Ah."

Li Ru patted Zhou Ling's head.

He was secretly relieved; if his son hadn't made preparations beforehand, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he thought of this.

Although my son is still young, he is now fully capable of supporting the family.

Zhou Ling yawned and went back to her room to sleep.

······.

Wake up the next day.

Mother has already prepared breakfast.

She also brewed a large bowl of nourishing medicinal soup, and after tidying it up, she was preparing to take it to her father and the others.

"Mother, this is a first-grade superior brewing furnace that I reforged for you!"

Zhou Ling took the newly crafted brewing furnace out of his storage bag and placed it on the ground. Cloud patterns were engraved on the surface of the crystal jade.

Bathed in the morning sunlight streaming through the courtyard into the main room, it shimmered and sparkled, like a pool of clear spring water rippling in the sunlight.

"A top-grade Tier 1 brewing furnace!" Li Ru exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the brewing furnace.

His eyes were glued to her, and his voice trembled slightly, "Ling'er, you're already a first-tier high-grade inscription master?"

Although the first-grade superior brewing furnace brought her enough surprises, her son would always be her number one priority.

So she immediately realized that her son might already be able to refine a first-grade high-quality inscription.

It's important to know that refining a first-grade superior inscription means that as long as you pass the first-grade weapon refiner assessment, you're good to go.

In the future, I will have the opportunity to enter the Tiangong Division, a secure and stable job.

They no longer need to work from dawn till dusk like they did for resources, sometimes facing enormous risks.

And this was her greatest expectation for Zhou Ling in her entire life.

"I was only able to refine a first-grade high-quality inscription in the last two days, and the success rate is still not high."

Zhou Ling smiled.

Seeing his mother's joyful face, he was also happy. He patted his chest and said confidently, "Mother, once I pass the first-grade weapon refiner exam, we'll move to the Dao Academy."

"Good, good, Ling'er is promising!"

Li Ru rubbed her son's head and smiled broadly.

Then, he reached out and gently touched the brewing furnace, and couldn't help but say, "Ling'er, you'll need a lot of spirit stones to rent a house or to cultivate in the future."

"The brewing furnace is perfectly fine now, why waste this spirit stone!"

A first-grade superior brewing furnace—this was something she never even dared to dream of.

“Mother, with this brewing furnace, you’ll only need to brew about five or six batches a day, so you won’t have to work so hard!” Zhou Ling said, picking up a steamed bun and eating it.

“But this is a waste of a brewing furnace!” Li Ru said with a pained expression.

"Mom, Dad and the others are probably hungry too. I'll take this food to them!" Zhou Ling quickly changed the subject.

"You eat first, I'll bring it over!"

Li Ru shook her head, picked up the food box, and walked outside.

Zhou Ling then smiled.

My mother's frugality is ingrained in her bones. Knowing that a first-grade high-quality brewing furnace costs about a hundred low-grade spirit stones, she probably won't be willing to use it in the future!

Zhou Ling had just finished breakfast when her parents returned home.

Although the father looked somewhat tired, he seemed much more relaxed.

"Fortunately, the Xuan Ting Division finally killed that evil cultivator this time!"

Zhou Shan drew a bucket of well water, washed his face, went into the main room, picked up a meat bun, and said with a happy expression as he ate it.

"He really killed me!"

Li Ru served her a bowl of spiritual porridge, handed it over, and asked with a surprised tone.

Zhou Shan took the earthenware bowl, drank a large mouthful of spiritual porridge, and nodded. "Last night, after you went home, the people from the Xuan Ting Division arrived at the Chu family."

"They checked Brother Chu's injuries and thanked us!"

"They said they'd report it to the Xuan Ting Division, and we'd get a share of the reward for killing the evil cultivator!"

Li Ru rolled her eyes at him. "Whether there's a reward or not is unimportant. It's good that he's alright!"

Knowing that the evil cultivator had been killed, her tone became much lighter.

Every day when Zhou Shan went to patrol, she felt even more apprehensive than when she went into the mountains!
I can finally relax now!
Today is a day of many happy events: my son has successfully crafted a first-grade superior brewing furnace, and the evil cultivator has finally been eliminated.

"Alas, with Old Chu's injuries, he'll probably need to recuperate for several months and won't be able to go into the mountains!"

Zhou Shan shook his head helplessly again.

At this point, he looked at Zhou Ling and smiled, "Ling'er, Brother Chu also asked me to thank you. If it weren't for Teng Zhu's armor, he would have been in danger this time!"

"Father, I'm so glad Uncle Chu is alright. I'm going to Maple Leaf Mountain now!"

Upon learning of the evil cultivator's death, Zhou Ling's face lit up with joy, and he felt much more relieved.

"Okay, be careful!"

Li Ru habitually gave these instructions.

Only after the words left his mouth did he realize that the evil cultivator had already been killed.

Watching Zhou Ling walk out the door.

"My husband, I have more good news for you. Our son has been able to forge a first-grade superior brewing furnace!"

Li Ru pointed to the new brewing furnace in the corner of the wall and smiled at Zhou Shan.

"real!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shan's tired expression vanished instantly.

Li Ru nodded with a delighted expression.

"This kid, from now on, my Zhou family will depend on him!"

Zhou Shan laughed heartily.

······.

Several days later, it was time for another ten-day break. Zhou Ling got up early and ate breakfast.

Prepare to go to the General Affairs Hall of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau located in the western part of the city.

The matter of registering for the first-rank inscription master assessment.

There are only half a month left until the spring first-class skill master assessment and certification.

Over the past few days, his inscription skills have also improved somewhat.

The main reason is that as one's spiritual cultivation improves, one's control over spiritual power and flames becomes more precise and precise.

"Ling'er, the people from the Xuan Ting Division invited Brother Chu and me to dinner today, and they also invited you to come along!"

At this moment, Zhou Shan suddenly said to Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling was somewhat taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Father, why did the people from the Xuan Ting Division invite me?"

Thinking to himself, he realized that asking his father and Uncle Chu must be about killing the evil cultivator.

But what does this have to do with me?
