Chapter 129 Not Bad
Li Xiaojun looked at Chen Bufan, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
It was his first time meeting his son-in-law, and he really didn't know how to get along with him.
Chen Bufan looked to be in his thirties, dressed in formal attire, and indeed...
"Dad, Bufan and I are here to pay our respects to you," Li Nianjun said to Li Xiaojun.
"Oh, oh, no need to be formal," Li Xiaojun quickly said to his son-in-law.
"Dad, Nianjun told me that you just returned from Extreme Desolation Star, is that right?" Chen Bufan changed the subject and asked Li Xiaojun, otherwise it would be too awkward between the two of them.
"Yes, I just got back," Li Xiaojun nodded.
"Dad, since you're back, why don't you stay with us and let Nianjun and me take care of you," Chen Bufan said to Li Xiaojun.
Li Xiaojun looked at the sincerity in Chen Bufan's eyes and nodded.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you," he said.
"What trouble? From now on, this is your home, we are all your family," Chen Bufan warmly said to Li Xiaojun.
"Okay, okay," Li Xiaojun nodded, he was quite satisfied with this son-in-law.
"Fu Sheng, did you greet your grandfather?" Chen Bufan asked his son, Chen Fusheng.
"Dad, I already greeted grandpa," Chen Fusheng quickly nodded.
"Dad, what would you like to eat tonight? I'll have the kids make it for you," Chen Bufan asked Li Xiaojun.
"Anything is fine," Li Xiaojun smiled and nodded.
Here, he felt the long-lost warmth of a family, which made him very much enjoy it.
...
As time went on, more and more people came here, soon surpassing a hundred.
Among these people were Li Nianjun's children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandchildren.
There were also Li Nianjun's son-in-law, grandsons-in-law, granddaughters-in-law, and so on.
"Great-great-grandfather, did you come back from Autumn Rain Star? Can you tell us what Autumn Rain Star is like?"
"Ancestor, how old are you? You look so young!"
Li Xiaojun was soon surrounded by a group of children, these children were all talking at once, full of curiosity about Li Xiaojun.
Some of these children were seven or eight years old, while others were only three or four years old.
"Yes, Autumn Rain Star, it's very big, much bigger than Extreme Desolation Star..." Li Xiaojun told the children things they had never heard before.
Until it was almost dark.
"Dad, it's time for dinner. Everyone, let's eat," Li Nianjun called everyone to eat.
Soon, over a hundred people gathered around more than a dozen tables in the courtyard.
This made the whole villa lively and bustling.
After dinner, everyone bid farewell to Li Xiaojun, the elder, and then went back to their own homes.
"Dad, you can live here from now on," Chen Bufan brought Li Xiaojun to the master bedroom on the right side of the villa, which had already been cleaned up.
"Okay," Li Xiaojun nodded, gladly accepting his son-in-law's kindness.
"Bufan, where do you work?"
In the living room of the villa, the family sat in a circle watching TV when Li Xiaojun turned to Chen Bufan and asked, "Son, I heard that you are from the Chen family in the Pure Brahma Mountain Immortal Realm. Is that correct?"
"Yes, father. I am from the Chen family in the Pure Brahma Mountain Immortal Realm. I am just a branch of the family," Chen Bufan replied respectfully.
"Branch or not, being a clerk is not bad," Li Xiaojun nodded in satisfaction.
"I heard that you have spiritual roots. Which Immortal Realm does the Chen family belong to?" Li Xiaojun asked Chen Bufan.
"Father, I am from the Pure Brahma Mountain Immortal Realm, just a branch of the Chen family," Chen Bufan smiled and replied.
"Don't listen to him, father. Although he is a branch of the Chen family in the Immortal Realm, he is now even more important than the direct line," Li Nianjun interjected.
"Oh? Why is that?" Li Xiaojun asked in surprise.
"It's because our children, born from me and Bufan, all have spiritual roots!" Li Nianjun said to Li Xiaojun. "Although they are only Inferior Spirit Roots, we are all satisfied. But later, we found out that our daughters' children also have spiritual roots. And, my grandson is even a Supreme Grade Spirit Root. Because of this, our lineage in the Chen family is highly valued, and Bufan was able to become the clerk of the Red River City with the help of the family."
Upon hearing his daughter's words, Li Xiaojun immediately understood. Li Nianjun and Chen Bufan's descendants having spiritual roots was related to him. After the system upgrade, he had strengthened the spiritual roots of all his future bloodline descendants. Those without spiritual roots were strengthened to Inferior Spirit Roots, while those born with Inferior Spirit Roots were directly enhanced to Supreme Grade Spirit Roots by the system.
That night, Li Xiaojun had already fallen asleep. In another room, Li Nianjun and Chen Bufan were talking.
"Bufan, look at this gift my father gave to the children. Do you know what it is?" Li Nianjun handed a piece of Immortal Yuan Stone to Chen Bufan.
Today, Li Xiaojun had given almost all the non-adult children a piece of Immortal Yuan Stone.
"What is this? I've never seen it before," Chen Bufan took the Immortal Yuan Stone and curiously examined it.
"I can sense a powerful energy inside this stone, much stronger than the spiritual energy in the top-grade spiritual stones. It's likely a supreme-grade spiritual stone," Chen Bufan said to his wife.
"A supreme-grade spiritual stone? If it's really a supreme-grade spiritual stone, then it's extremely valuable," Li Nianjun said.
Although both of them were Nascent Soul and Gold Core cultivators, they had never seen a supreme-grade spiritual stone before. Usually, after supreme-grade spiritual stones were mined, they would be taken by the higher-ups of the cultivation alliance. It was already very good for ordinary low-level cultivators to see top-grade spiritual stones.
"According to the market price, one supreme-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for one hundred top-grade spiritual stones, ten thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, and one million low-grade spiritual stones. In terms of money, it's worth ten billion," Chen Bufan said to his wife.
"Ten billion? I saw my father give out more than a dozen of these supreme-grade spiritual stones to the children. Does that mean..." Li Nianjun was shocked.
"No, this is too valuable. We can't accept it. Tomorrow, you should collect all the spiritual stones from the children and return them to my father," Chen Bufan said to his wife.
"Okay, I will return them to father tomorrow," Li Nianjun nodded.
"Nianjun, what do you think my father's cultivation level is?" Chen Bufan asked his wife.
"I don't know, but he is definitely stronger than me," Li Nianjun shook her head. She couldn't see through her father's cultivation level, which meant he was at least a Soul Formation Stage cultivator.
"If my father is so powerful, how did he end up with my mother?" Chen Bufan couldn't understand. His mother, He Sixue, was just an ordinary person. How could his father, who was so powerful, be interested in her?
"Why do you care about how my father ended up with my mother? My mother never remarried for her whole life because of him. Isn't my mother good enough? Which woman can be as devoted as my mother?" Li Nianjun said.
"Well, that's true. Without my parents-in-law, I wouldn't have such a good wife like you," Chen Bufan chuckled.
