My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 189 - 139: The Old Fox’s Letter to the Young Fox (Part 2)

Chapter 189: Chapter 139: The Old Fox’s Letter to the Young Fox (Part 2)

Dear son, open to read.

Your father is greatly comforted by the news of your imminent breakthrough to the Postnatal Realm, and at the same time, feels a strong sense of pride.

Our family has a Martial Artist in the Postnatal Realm!

Father also knows that this certainly isn’t your final destination. My son has the talents of an immortal cultivator, and will undoubtedly go much further in the future. It’s only a matter of time before you step into the Innate level. When that time comes, Father will boast to everyone that my son is an Innate Powerhouse. Whenever I think of this, I can’t help but smile, sincerely hoping that day will come soon.

Moreover, you being so outstanding is considered worthy of our Li family’s ancestors. Father grasped a brush since childhood, thinking that he could become a Painting Saint, yet the harsh reality gave Father a slap, making him understand that one cannot force what they cannot have in life.

Father fears he has no affinity with the Painting Saint in this life. I was originally very despairing, feeling I couldn’t face the ancestors. Yet your achievements brought a glimpse of hope to your father.

Even when the day comes when I’m a hundred years old and meet the ancestors, I will be very proud, letting them see that my son, Li Hengsheng, is absolutely the finest of our Li family. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

However, upon reading the second half of your letter, when Father learned you were troubled over the breakthrough, I couldn’t eat or sleep well. I even consulted the Clan Leader of the Yan family and others about the Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill, but the news only got more and more hopeless.

Upon discovering that the Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill is a rare item, not even available in Changting Town,

It’s possible that even the entire Minghong State has never had such high-grade pills. Even if they did exist, such high-quality pills are not something a commoner like your father could afford.

At this moment, Father felt somewhat disheartened. But thinking of you being troubled as well made me feel incredibly guilty.

In recent days, Father hasn’t had the time to write to you, only to search for the Fifth Grade Pill, always holding onto the belief that sincerity can move mountains.

So Father took a trip to the Jingnan Continent and then Dao Mark City but found nothing. Afterwards, I went to Zhanzhou State, still with no clue. Finally, I swallowed my pride and asked the merchant contacts of the Evergreen Commerce Association, which have dealings with the Great Yuan Dynasty, for help.

But always to no avail.

The Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill is indeed hard to find.

Ultimately, Father only found this Second Grade Realm-Breaking Pill.

Father also knows this may be useless. The gap between Second and Fifth Grade is not just a simple number; it’s a world of difference. But please don’t blame your father; this is the best I can do right now.

I have been an inadequate father. Now that I rely on the Yan family, earning money as a retainer, I thought I could slowly make up to you for the years of shortcomings and become a satisfactory father to you. However...

When you truly encounter difficulties, Father is still useless, unable to alleviate your worries.

Hengsheng, Father apologizes to you.

Although there is no solution yet, Father will keep trying, continuing to search. I’ve heard of a place called the Medical King Valley in the Eastern Wilderness, where they are skilled in alchemy. Perhaps, they might have such a pill. When Father has saved enough travel expenses, I will venture to the valley to seek the medicine for you.

Pursue your dreams without reserve; Father may not be your strongest supporter, but I will always be your most steadfast shield.

Child, be brave and go forth.

Seeing here, Li Hengsheng’s eyes were already soaked with tears.

"Father received my two letters but didn’t reply because he went to search for pills for me..." Li Hengsheng looked at the letter, feeling a lump in his throat.

He certainly knew how difficult it was to get hold of a Fifth Grade Pill.

Earlier, Lord Zhou had said that there was no possibility of a Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill existing in the entire Minghong State.

The purpose of his earlier letter was to test whether he could obtain the Fifth Grade Pill, thereby verifying his suspicions and questioning if his father indeed had issues.

In the end, he did get the pill, but it was a Sixth Grade one, and it wasn’t from Xu Muhai, but from Xue Qianbai.

Though the process was somewhat absurd, Li Hengsheng could feel that this matter really had nothing to do with his father.

Strong figures like Xue Qianbai were far beyond his father Li Changqing’s reach.

The pill affair certainly had nothing to do with Li Changqing.

Yet, Li Hengsheng never expected that his father would endure so much hardship due to a probe in his letter!

Going alone to Dao Mark City, Jingnan Continent, and even Zhanzhou, sacrificing his pride to plead with the Commerce Association’s clients...

All of this was merely because of his slight suspicion.

Thinking of his father trudging along to find pills for him everywhere, Li Hengsheng raised his hand and slapped himself twice harshly!

He was utterly heartless!

His father was just an ordinary man, and he let him toil so bitterly; how could he bear it!

Though in the past his father might have been inadequate in various aspects, lately, he can feel the depth of his father’s love.

Isn’t this what he had yearned for in his childhood?

He lost his mother when he was young, never feeling her love, placing all expectations on his father.

Yet, he seldom felt the love he deserved from his father.

When he woke up crying alone at midnight, the silhouette of Li Changqing was never beside him, but always engrossed in painting in the studio, so impatient with him.

At that time, he longed to be like other children, having a mother’s tender love, a father’s embrace.

As he grew older, leaving home for the Mountain Ancient Land, living a lonely life.

Yet the desire for a father’s love never extinguished within.

Now...

What he longed for since childhood he finally attained.

Yet he was consuming the fatherly love.

Time and again, he defiled his father’s love with suspicion.

Li Hengsheng slowly closed his eyes, tears coursing down his cheeks, falling onto the letter paper.

Although the content of Li Changqing’s letter was fabricated, the fact that Li Changqing wrestled to find the pill for Li Hengsheng was undisputable.

If Li Hengsheng learned that to find the pill for him, his father embarked alone to Beihan Country, into Beihan City, killed a Grandmaster, stirred the black market, and fought General Zhao Beiming, his jaw would drop, thinking it was all made-up nonsense.

"Phew!"

Taking a deep breath, Li Hengsheng calmed his emotions and then, without hesitation, grabbed paper and pen. He wanted to write to Li Changqing, telling him about his breakthrough to the Postnatal Realm.

He must not let Li Changqing go to the Medical King Valley.

Li Hengsheng knew quite well where the Medical King Valley was, far too distant, impossible for an ordinary person to reach easily, and any roadside bandit would pose a threat.

Moreover, how could an ordinary person hope to procure medicine from the Medical King Valley?

And a Fifth Grade Pill at that?

The letter was written in haste, every word sincere. Li Hengsheng informed Li Changqing of his breakthrough to the Postnatal Realm and asked him not to worry.

Matters were resolved.

Then Li Hengsheng mentioned he might go for a trial, not mentioning the potential danger it might entail.

He just said the trial wasn’t very dangerous and that he would be accompanied by elders from the sect, so there was no need to worry.

Only at the end did Li Hengsheng’s pen seem to choke there.

He pondered for a long time until the previous ink had dried before he wrote a sentence.

Father, thank you; your son misses you. When I can return home from the mountain, I’ll bring a good jar of wine to drink with you.

Your son is well; do not worry.

After finishing the letter, Li Hengsheng stared at the last sentence for a long while, then let out a silly laugh and asked Xu Kui to send this letter off.

After dispatching it, Li Hengsheng took the small bottle, unplugged the wooden cork, and poured the pill into his palm. It was a Second Pattern Pill—also a Realm-Breaking Pill.

He thought that perhaps this pill, which Li Changqing traversed several states to find, had significant meaning and decided to treasure it well as a remembrance.

At this time, Li Hengsheng glanced at a box on the table, suddenly remembering that there was another box left unopened.

What treasure might it hold this time?

Could it be another of those wooden Painting Treasures like last time?
