Good heavens, the ancestor has gone to confess his love again!

Thinking of this, Xu Pingsheng was instantly enraged and roared:

"Damn it! If I find out who that woman was last night, I won't let her off easily. She forced me... uh, humph! That's a blatant insult to my character!"

Upon hearing this, the Xu family members slightly curled their lips.

Tch~~

Get cheap and sell well!

If this is an insult, then let it insult us to death!

One second he's bragging about being a pro, the next he's admitting he got taken advantage of by a woman...

Shame!

Of course, these were just thoughts in my mind; I would never dare to say them aloud.

He had only hurled two insults when Xu Pingsheng seemed to remember something and couldn't continue. His lips twitched, and he looked somewhat guilty.

Even though his hands were tied last night, he wasn't very well-behaved, especially his mouth, it was never still...

That's enough~ That's enough~~

Consider it a good deed!

As he pulled the pills he had just taken out back in, he shouted:

"No wonder you didn't want the pills. So you have these spirit crystals and cultivation techniques. In that case, fine, I'll keep these sacred-grade pills for myself."

"What?! A... a Saint-grade elixir?"

The gasps of surprise from the crowd instantly echoed throughout the Xu family compound.

It should be noted that elixirs and cultivation techniques are roughly classified into ranks, namely Yellow, Profound, Earth, Heaven, King, Saint, Emperor, and the legendary Immortal grade. The King grade is already the limit that ordinary cultivators can access, and even Supreme and ordinary Saint realm cultivators covet it.

But now our ancestor is saying it's... a sacred item?

The elder's throat bobbed violently twice, he swallowed hard, and stammered as he called out to Xu Pingsheng:

"Father...Father! What...what did you just say? A holy...holy-grade elixir?"

Before he finished speaking, his gaze was fixed on the dozens of pills in Xu Pingsheng's hand, as if drawn by a magnet.

A wisp of purple-gold cinnabar still lingered there, transformed into a faint lotus shape, swaying gently in the air, leaving behind a refreshing fragrance of cinnabar wherever it passed.

Just one whiff of it caused the bottleneck of the early stage of the Cave Void Realm, which had not reacted for a long time, to loosen slightly.

"No...this is not just an ordinary Saint-grade pill!" The Grand Elder suddenly widened his eyes, his voice rising sharply and becoming shrill.

"That...that's a Saint-grade Breakthrough Pill! It's a Saint-grade Breakthrough Pill that can help those below the Great Saint realm break through to a higher realm!"

hiss--

Everyone gasped.

Our ancestors were utterly useless their whole lives, yet they still have such high-end stock!

Before anyone could react, with a muffled thud, the Grand Elder suddenly knelt down, his knees hitting the ground with a dull thud that even made the plaza tremble slightly.

He disregarded all decorum, threw himself forward, grabbed Xu Pingsheng's legs, and began to wail and cry bitterly:

"Dad!! My dear dad~~"

"Your most beloved son has been trapped in the early stage of the Cave Ruins Realm for thirty years! I have devoted myself to the family for over four hundred years, Father, you must not forget me!"

"Back then, when Uncle Wu next door went to sell steamed buns, I was the one keeping watch so you could talk to Aunt Jinlian without worry."

"And then there's Ms. Bai Jie from the private school. To get her to visit my home more often, you beat me nine times a day..."

"That day you went out to take out the trash..."

"And there's the newlyweds who just moved in..."

"Stop!!!!!" Xu Pingsheng roared, interrupting the Grand Elder's "slander!"

"What nonsense! Here you go!"

With a dark expression, he threw five pills directly to the Grand Elder.

If this brat keeps talking, his image as a highly respected ancestor will be completely ruined.

There are younger people here too!

Seeing that the Grand Elder had gained benefits so easily, the others couldn't hold back any longer and all knelt down as well.

Cries and pleas filled the air.

"Old Deng... Pshaw! My dearest dad, I'm your most beloved son! You can't show favoritism!"

"Father! My admiration for you is like a flowing river, endless and boundless, and like..."

"Whenever I can't find meaning in my existence, whenever I'm lost in the darkness, you are the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating my way forward..."

"Dad~~~"

As they cried out, the elders exchanged a secret glance and began to exchange divine thoughts right under Xu Pingsheng's nose.

"I didn't expect that Old Deng would have such a good stockpile of Saint-grade pills besides the huge amount of gold coins he got last night. Do you think Old Deng is holding back?"

"Yes! It definitely exists!"

"Sigh... We've been completely open with Old Deng, but he's been playing mind games with us. He's really good at hiding his true intentions."

"Hmph! This time, we won't stop until we've completely drained Old Deng!"

"Yes, with all six of us brothers working together, is Old Deng still planning to save for retirement?"

"But... tell me, how could Old Deng, a mere lowly henchman in the Innate Realm, possess so many good things?"

"Of course there are side hustles we don't know about!"

"Tch~~ What side hustle? It's just selling your ass, isn't it?"

"Sixth Brother! Shut up! What do you mean by 'selling your ass'? That sounds awful! This is hard-earned money! I'm only now realizing how easy it is to make a living!"

"That makes sense. I've always believed that acquiring strength through one's own efforts is fundamental, but now it seems that selling one's body is merely a means of cultivation. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of the excellent genes of our Xu family?"

"Yes, I've made up my mind. After sending Old Deng away, I'll hold a family meeting to discuss the issue of the Xu family's sustainable development through exploitation... Bah! I'll put the issue of exploitation into the agenda!"

"I second that!"

"+1~"

How could their little tricks possibly escape the notice of Xu Pingsheng, a Supreme Realm expert?

Although he is not yet able to intercept divine thought transmissions with his current cultivation level, he has raised these idiots with his own hands and feet, so he naturally knows that they must not be spouting anything good.

Xu Yuan and his son stared at each other, unsure of what to say.

Compared to these old folks, the father and son had absolutely no advantage.

Elixir...

They want it too!

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yuan steeled his resolve, shook his large rear end again, and forced out a few large words:

"Ancestor, you wanted me before, and I even offered my ass..."

boom! ! !

Before he could even utter a word, Xu Pingsheng sent him flying dozens of feet away with a 360-degree whirlwind kick.

"Get out!!! You beast! If you dare mention it again, I'll skin you alive!"

Xu Pingsheng's face turned completely dark.

He never expected that a mere test of the system's functionality would become a dark chapter in his history.

"Huh?" Xu Fan glanced at his ancestor, then at his father, and was completely stunned.

He seemed to have overheard some terrible secret...

Good heavens!

This world is crazy!

My father was actually the ancestor's favorite...

No wonder my ordinary-looking father became the head of the family!

At this moment, a certain boy's worldview began to be reshaped.
