Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 59 Fang's parents take medicinal herbs

"I brought you a precious gift! Are you sure you want to be angry with me?" Fang Tian teased with a smile.

"Big brother, do as you please! The younger brother's head was born to be shaped by the older brother." Fang Yi suddenly made a 180-degree turn.

"Boss, you wait, one day I'll crush you!" Fang Yi thought to himself as he accepted being interrogated, secretly planning how he would one day subdue his older brother. This brat, at such a young age, had already learned to endure humiliation.

"Hehe, alright then, since you've said so, I'll reluctantly play a couple of rounds!" Fang Tian patted Fang Yi's head and started playing again.

This time, I loosened up the tension after a few tries. After all, I couldn't really anger the kid.

At the welcome family dinner held at noon, Mr. and Mrs. Fang served up all their best and most delicious dishes.

These were all simple and classic dishes that Fang Tian taught them when he was at home.

Qiu Fengyan, who loves good food, enjoyed the family feast immensely. The relationship between the two sides clearly became much closer.

After dinner, Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan had a brief discussion and then prepared to take Fang's parents with them to help them refine the herbs.

The herbs Fang Tian prepared for his father were the herb of immortality and longevity, while the herbs he prepared for his mother were the flower of youthful beauty and longevity. Both were rare herbs, second only to the immortal herb.

Fang's parents are ordinary people. There is no need for them to enter the world of Soul Masters and fight in the future. It is enough for them to live their lives happily as ordinary people.

The two herbs that Fang Tian took out were obviously herbs that could prolong life. Among them, the Longevity Flower could stop the erosion of time on one's appearance, making one's appearance stay forever as it was when the herb was taken.

Upon hearing about the medicinal properties of the herbs, Qiu Fengyan's eyes turned red as she stared intently at them, leading Fang Tian to believe she would try to snatch them.

However, Qiu Fengyan ultimately held back.

"Hehe!" Fang Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw his expression.

"You're still laughing? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Qiu Fengyan was furious when she saw Fang Tian laughing.

"Do you know why we used to work so hard to strengthen our essence, energy, and spirit during our cultivation?" Fang Tian asked with a smile.

"Isn't it to become stronger?" Qiu Fengyan asked in confusion.

"Strengthening our essence, energy, and spirit will naturally make us stronger, but we strengthen our essence, energy, and spirit not just to become stronger, but to become gods!" Fang Tian finally told Qiu Fengyan his long-held goal.

"Become a god? Are there really gods in this world?" Qiu Fengyan's eyes widened. If Fang Tian hadn't never lied to her, she would have suspected that he was fooling her.

"Of course! The founder of the Spirit Hall was a god—the Angel God, and the lineage of the Spirit Hall Pope has always been descendants of angels, and their spirits are all six-winged angels! For example, the former Pope Qian Daoliu and the current Pope Qian Xunji are like that." Fang Tian began to introduce some secrets of the Douluo Continent to Qiu Fengyan.

"Not only are there angel gods, but there's also a sea god island overseas that worships the sea god, and the City of Slaughter hides the legacies of the Asura God and the Rakshasa God." Fang Tian then introduced some other gods.

"Your martial soul is Deathly Slaughter. Even if you can't become a god yourself, you can inherit the divine position of some gods. After becoming a god, you can live forever and your appearance will not change with the years. So what are you envious of this little herb now? You can get something much better in the future!" Fang Tian teased Qiu Fengyan.

"Hmph, who knows if what you're saying is true? Maybe you're just trying to fool me!" Qiu Fengyan retorted stubbornly.

"Hehe, whether it's a lie or not, I'll prove it to you in the future. Now let's go refine the herbs for my parents!" Fang Tian knew that Qiu Fengyan was just being stubborn, so he quickly gave her a way out.

"Alright, I'll go help your mother refine the herbs right now." Qiu Fengyan readily agreed, taking advantage of the situation.

Then Qiu Fengyan took the herbs and went to find Fang's mother.

"It really can preserve youth and prolong life!" Soon, Fang's mother's voice, filled with surprise and delight, rang out from the room, and it was quite loud.

If Fang Tian hadn't anticipated this and prepared a rattan cane beforehand, striking it repeatedly in the air the moment the sound was heard, creating a continuous sonic boom, Fang's mother's words might have been heard by the villagers outside the courtyard.

"Waaah!" A sound of someone covering their mouth came from inside the room. Then Fang Tian heard Qiu Fengyan and his mother whispering to each other, probably discussing the ownership of the medicinal herbs.

After all, Fang's mother had always been a person with simple values. She must have felt that it was too wasteful to give such precious medicinal herbs to an ordinary person in her family.

Fang Tian ignored the problem, believing that Qiu Fengyan could easily solve it.

Sure enough, after a moment, the sound stopped, and a fluctuation of soul power emanated from the room. This fluctuation did not belong to Qiu Fengyan, whom Fang Tian was familiar with. Clearly, Fang's mother had begun absorbing the Youth-Preserving Longevity Flower.

After four hours of absorption and refinement, Fang's mother and Qiu Fengyan finally left the room.

Fang Tian could clearly feel that his mother's energy and spirit had become more vigorous, and her face looked younger. At this moment, Fang's mother was all smiles.

Fang Tian walked to his mother's side and carefully sensed her internal condition. He found that her vitality had increased significantly. If she paid attention to health preservation, she could live to be about 120 years old.

"You're absorbing it very well, Mom. You're definitely going to live to be a hundred now," Fang Tian complimented his mother.

"Good! Our son and daughter-in-law are so filial. They have such good things and they're willing to give them to their own parents." Mother Fang praised the two of them with a smile.

Qiu Fengyan, standing beside her, did not object to the way Fang's mother addressed her, nor did she even blush.

"It seems I don't know what just happened, but it's something I'm very happy to see," Fang Tian thought to himself with a smug smile.

"Hehe, now that Mom has finished absorbing the herbs, I'm going to help Dad absorb the other herb." Fang Tian said to his mother, then winked at Qiu Fengyan.

Qiu Fengyan nodded to Fangtian.

Seeing the young couple's interaction, Fang's mother smiled with a sense of relief.

Fang Tian had already turned around to find his father, and Qiu Fengyan naturally followed behind, ready to protect him outside the room.

When Fang Tian found his father, he saw his father leisurely drinking tea. This was a habit that Fang's father had developed after Fang Yi was born.

"Is everything over there finished?" Mr. Fang asked, looking up.

Mr. Fang naturally saw what his son and his girlfriend were doing, but he didn't ask any questions.

"It's all done. Now it's time to take care of Dad's business. Just a heads up, don't be surprised by what I'm about to say, and don't make any noise. It's all true," Fang Tian declared to his father.

"By chance, Qiu Fengyan and I obtained quite a few rare medicinal herbs, and we've both consumed quite a bit of them. This time, I brought two herbs for you and Mom, both for prolonging life," Fang Tian said to his father.
