"If I can produce Foundation Strengthening Pills to auction, why wouldn’t I give some to my own parents?"

Jiang Chen said.

He had thought of giving them to his parents before but couldn’t find a suitable excuse.

He had only refined ten Purple Level Quality Foundation Strengthening Pills this time.

They were a breakthrough for him after his rebirth.

That’s why he hadn’t refined too many at once, for fear of losing control and causing the pills to explode.

Now that he had succeeded, he had refined more over the past couple of days.

The materials for the Foundation Strengthening Pill weren’t too rare; they could still be purchased in Hanwu City.

"What?"

At that moment, Jiang Han and Xiao Yun’s jaws dropped.

Jiang Chen’s words echoed in their minds.

’Their son meant that if he could provide Foundation Strengthening Pills for an auction, he would of course have set some aside for his own parents.’

Instantly, without needing to ask, the two were moved to tears.

If their previous desperation for a Foundation Strengthening Pill had been intense, their current feeling, on the verge of receiving one, was utterly indescribable.

Sure enough, Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate.

With a flick of his wrist, two porcelain vials materialized out of thin air.

Jiang Chen handed a vial to each of his parents.

He smiled. "Father, Mother, this is a gift from your son. Please, accept it." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

At that moment, both Jiang Han’s and Xiao Yun’s hands were trembling, even quivering.

They were terrified of dropping the vials.

For the longest time, they didn’t dare to take them.

They knew what was inside the vials: the Foundation Strengthening Pills from their son.

While others were fighting tooth and nail just to get their hands on a Foundation Strengthening Pill, they already had them.

Seeing his parents’ hesitation, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.

"See? I try to give them to you, and you get all frightened."

"Relax, I have more. My master has plenty of them."

With that, Jiang Chen pressed the vials directly into his parents’ hands.

They both shuddered.

Then, they clutched the vials tightly.

The vials were too precious.

It was a gift from their son, an incredibly valuable one.

But more than just elixirs, this was a symbol of their son’s devotion.

It was completely different from one won at auction.

If a Foundation Strengthening Pill from the auction was valuable, then what their son had given them was truly priceless.

"*HISS...*"

When Jiang Han opened the vial and swept his Divine Thought across its contents, he gasped.

His jaw dropped, as if he couldn’t believe his eyes.

He froze on the spot once more.

It was as if he had seen a ghost.

Xiao Yun wore the same expression, utterly stunned by the Foundation Strengthening Pills in her own vial.

"Father, Mother, we’ll go to the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s auction together the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, and about these Foundation Strengthening Pills—you must keep this a secret. It is absolutely vital. Even if you give some to our clansmen, make sure they take them in secret. No one can know."

"I’m heading out."

Jiang Chen knew his parents needed time to calm down.

He turned, leaving them with a view of his confident back as he departed from their courtyard.

He had eaten his fill, anyway.

"Xiaoyun, how many?"

Jiang Han’s voice trembled as he turned to his wife, Xiao Yun, who was staring blankly as well.

Xiao Yun obviously knew what her husband was asking.

She swallowed hard before chiding him, "What’s there to ask? You know our son."

"He wouldn’t give me any more or any less than he gave you."

Despite her words, Xiao Yun was overjoyed. It felt as if she were living in a dream.

In fact, there was still a question they hadn’t asked their son.

Jiang Han’s face flushed.

He chuckled sheepishly.

"I just can’t believe it. Our son gave us so many at once... a full twenty pills."

"And they’re all Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pills at that."

That was right. Jiang Chen had given each of his parents twenty pills.

He had only refined fifty in total, leaving him with ten for himself.

Xiao Yun clutched the vial, unable to part with it.

A warmth spread through her heart.

Suddenly, she said, "Our son has changed so much recently."

"I just can’t figure him out anymore."

Jiang Han nodded as well. "Isn’t it the truth? I can’t figure the boy out either."

"He’s becoming more and more mysterious."

He shook the vial in his hand and continued, "I mean, what is going on?"

"Who in the world is his master? To give him so many elixirs at once—and all of them Second-grade, Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pills! Their value is simply incalculable."

"Between the two of us, that’s forty pills. Even the entire fortune of the Jiang Family isn’t worth a tenth of this, is it?"

Jiang Han felt like he was in a dream.

’This son... he has completely changed the Jiang Family.’

When Ling Xuan walked out, his son stepped up to save them.

When he was desperate for a Foundation Strengthening Pill, his son placed it right in his hands.

And when...

’Perhaps this is only the beginning.’

He had a feeling his son would bring them even more surprises.

Xiao Yun’s gaze was warm.

Her smile grew wider.

"I used to think our son had let his perfectly good Martial Vein go to waste. Now, it seems we misjudged him completely."

"He was biding his time, waiting to burst onto the scene and astound everyone."

"He makes me so proud."

Jiang Han quickly added, "He’s my son, too! As his father, I’m beaming with pride."

The couple talked for a long time, the conversation revolving entirely around their son.

Clearly, they could find endless things to say about him.

"Right, with these Foundation Strengthening Pills, the Jiang Family will gain at least three more Martial King Experts."

Jiang Han’s eyes burned with excitement. He knew that with the pills from Jiang Chen, he would surely be the first to advance his Cultivation, and his wife, Xiao Yun, would also be able to break through to the Martial King Realm.

There would even be some pills left over, enough to nurture one or two more Martial King Experts.

Then, the Jiang Family would undoubtedly dominate Hanwu City.

Xiao Yun nodded as well.

"That’s right."

"From now on, the Jiang Family won’t be a force that just anyone can afford to provoke."

"As for the auction the day after tomorrow, it looks like the Jiang Family won’t need to bid on anything. However, since we promised our son we’d go to the auction with him, we should still make an appearance."

Gently taking his wife’s hand, Jiang Han smiled warmly. "Of course."

"The Jiang Family won’t be bidding, but we still have to see what kind of price our son’s Foundation Strengthening Pills will fetch."

"And we’ll get to watch the major powers turn red in the face as they fight over our son’s pills."

After he finished, Xiao Yun spoke to her husband Jiang Han again. "Our son told us to keep this a secret as he was leaving."

"So we absolutely must take every precaution to keep this secret for him."

"If word gets out that our son possesses such elixirs, it’s inevitable that some ill-intentioned people will get ideas."

Once they had agreed, they began to prepare for the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s auction, scheduled for the day after tomorrow.
