"Grandfather, I understand, I will work harder." Wang Fugui nodded helplessly.

He understood Ancestor Grandfather's mindset, but to have more children, he felt a certain resistance in his heart.

Wang Fugui was still young; having a child like Baosheng already gave him an enormous headache. He couldn't imagine how life would be if the Leisure Residence had a few more "Wang Baosheng" type children.

However, Ancestor Grandfather's words had already come down, so there was no way to get away with it this time.

He glanced at Wang Baosheng, feeling annoyed: "What are you laughing at?"

Wang Baosheng immediately straightened his expression and said, "Father, I'm not laughing. I'm just happy that our family will soon have a few more younger siblings..."

A few more?

Wang Fugui's eyelids twitched, and he sneered, "By the way, Baosheng, you're sixteen years old now, aren't you? Since you ascended to the Heaven-Human Realm at fourteen, it's been over two years now, and your cultivation has reached the second layer of the Heaven-Human Realm. Plus, the Cultural Entertainment Division is flourishing. You could say you're already independent, so why are you still living in Leisure Residence?"

"Father, I think it's quite good." Wang Baosheng said with a wronged expression, "Mother and Aunt don't want me to move out and set up my own residence so early."

"Such a mommy's boy, how can you find a wife if word gets out?" Wang Fugui criticized with a solemn face. "You're not sixteen years old and never been in a relationship, are you?"

"..."

Wang Baosheng was speechless for a moment, then finally managed to squeeze out, "Father, I'm still young, only sixteen. Besides, why is dating more interesting than building a career?"

"Sigh!"

Wang Fugui and Wang Anye both sighed.

"Hahahaha hahahaha~"

Princess Huarui, standing beside them, laughed so hard she was bent over: "Baosheng, you really haven't been in a relationship? Your Great-Grandfather, your father... they all started dating girls when they were just that old, and the girls were all devoted to them, refusing to marry anyone else. You're a bit behind... How about this, Auntie will introduce you to a girlfriend~~ Do you like pure and lovely ones, or lively and cute ones?"

"Auntie, girls are too troublesome." Wang Baosheng quickly shook his head, his tone resolute, "Especially girls my age, I have no common language with them. They're all particularly childish and only know how to fool around."

"..." A light flashed in Wang Fugui's mind. He looked at Wang Baosheng with an inquisitive gaze. "You think girls your age are childish, could it be that you like..."

"Ah, now that you mention it, I remember!" Princess Huarui clapped her hands, suddenly recalling the gossip she had heard before. "Last time I heard that Baosheng was quite close with Ouyang Nanyan and Shentu Shihe, and they often ate together and watched large-screen recordings. Baosheng, do you like older women?"

"Impossible!" Wang Baosheng firmly denied. "Senior Sister Ouyang is outstanding in her abilities and efficient in her work; she is my right-hand woman. Occasionally engaging in activities with her is, firstly, a chance to discuss work, and secondly, a form of 'subordinate management'."

"As for Teacher Shentu, her talent and potential are excellent; I am merely encouraging her growth."

Wang Anye listened thoughtfully from the side: "His taste is a bit... peculiar, but our Wang Clan's atmosphere has always been open and inclusive, so this is not unacceptable."

"That's right, I've checked too." Wang Fugui also nodded. "Although both girls are slightly older, their potential and aptitude are not bad, and their family backgrounds are clean. I'm thinking, since we don't need Baosheng to marry for alliance anyway, we might as well let him continue the family line early."

Wang Fugui naturally wanted his son to marry early. While he was still young and his cultivation low, it was a good time to quickly have several children who could help him share much of the fierce fire from Ancestor Grandfather.

What?

Wang Baosheng was completely stunned.

What did it mean, no need for marriage alliances, just continue the family line early?

It turned out that both he and his father were thinking of letting the other have children to draw fire? No, no, no, he couldn't get married, he had to build his career, he had to bear the heavy responsibilities of the family!

"No, no, no, I'm still young..." Wang Baosheng quickly shook his head. "I don't want to get married, I don't want to have children."

"Ancestor Grandfather said, if you don't have children and I don't have children, when will the Wang Clan rise?"

"Alright, you two father and son, stop pushing the responsibility, none of you will escape having children." Wang Anye waved his hand, changing the subject, "This business trip to the Sacred Domain, though there were twists and turns, did yield some small gains."

As he spoke, Wang Anye waved his hand, and several treasures radiating immortal energy appeared on the table, totaling two Immortal Scriptures and three Immortal Artifacts...

"A few gains?"

Wang Baosheng's eyes widened.

Great-Grandfather, do you really have to be so nonchalant? So many incredibly precious treasures, and in your eyes, they're only "a few"?

He remembered how long it had taken him, back then, to scheme for an Immortal Scripture for his mother. And in the end, Ancestor Great-Grandma Li Yao had beaten him to it.

In a trance, Wang Baosheng seemed to understand what Great-Grandfather had meant earlier about the burden of the Human Clan being shared by everyone, not needing one person to bear too much pressure.

With such a Great-Grandfather who could casually pick up Immortal Scriptures outside, Wang Baosheng inexplicably felt much lighter in his heart... not so suppressed anymore...

As for Wang Fugui, having been with his grandfather for a long time, he was already used to his grandfather's heaven-defying talent and humblebragging.

His eyes lit up: "Are these two Immortal Scriptures for me and my sister?"

"It's also to discuss with you all," Wang Anye said, pointing to the Immortal Scripture radiating an authentic Xuanmen aura. "This Immortal Scripture is 'Taiqing Immortal Scripture.' It is said to be one of the inheritances of the ancient Taiqing Mystic Sect, but now the Taiqing Mystic Sect has long vanished, most likely destroyed in that apocalyptic war... It will probably be very difficult to find the subsequent Sacred Diagram. Fugui, do you have any reservations if you inherit this Immortal Scripture?"

"That's fine. Although I have a Wood Element Bloodline, I feel a strange sense of familiarity with this Taiqing Immortal Scripture, so the compatibility shouldn't be bad," Wang Fugui laughed. "If I can find the Sacred Diagram in the future, then good. If not, I'll refer to other Sacred Diagrams and slowly forge my own Taiqing Sacred Path, striving to leave a 'Taiqing Sacred Diagram' for future generations."

In fact, Immortal Scriptures with an orderly inheritance like this have another advantage over ordinary Immortal Scriptures: there was someone who had walked the path before, at least proving that there is a path. And some minor deviations in the Immortal Scripture have already been corrected, making it slightly easier to re-walk the Sacred Path according to the Immortal Scripture.

Of course, this ease is only relative.

But to walk the Sacred Path, how difficult is it? Even if it only slightly reduces the difficulty, it is already extremely rare. After all, many times, the difference between success and failure is just that final step.

"Good ambition." Wang Anye nodded in satisfaction. "Since that's the case, this Immortal Scripture is yours. The contribution points will be deducted from your account."

With that, he flicked his hand, and the Taiqing Immortal Scripture landed in Fugui's hand.

"Do you want the matching Taiqing Immortal Sword? You have priority in choosing." Wang Anye then pointed to an Immortal Sword among the three Immortal Artifacts, radiating immortal aura, and asked Wang Fugui.

"Of course I want the matching Immortal Sword," Wang Fugui nodded. "I still have many family contribution points, just deduct them as you please."

Naturally, the Taiqing Immortal Sword, now belonging to Wang Fugui, flew into his hand.

With a new owner, the weapon spirits of the Taiqing Immortal Sword and the Taiqing Immortal Scripture were both very happy.

Having been sealed in that ruin for so long, so long that they had woken and slept countless times and no longer knew how much time had passed, they were finally happy to have found a new owner.

Not to mention, the new owner's Bloodline level seemed very high, and their future prospects were bound to be limitless.

"This 'Yuhua Immortal Scripture' is more suitable for female cultivators, with extraordinary power and the effect of preserving youth." Wang Anye then called out the weapon spirit of the Yuhua Immortal Scripture, let her introduce herself, and then looked at Hua Rui and asked, "Die'er, according to the family's cultivation sequence, you, Aunt Yingxuan, Luo Jing, Luoqiu Great-Aunt Grandmother, and Li Ci Great-Aunt Grandmother, all have the qualifications to contend for it."

"However, Li Ci Great-Aunt Grandmother is said to already possess an Immortal Scripture. And Aunt Yingxuan and the others are not very suitable for the Yuhua Immortal Scripture. What are your thoughts?"

Princess Huarui immediately became excited.

This was an Immortal Scripture~ It was finally her turn.

However, after inquiring with the weapon spirit of the Yuhua Immortal Scripture, she hesitated instead: "Although the compatibility meets the standard, it's only passable. Moreover, for some reason, I always feel that I will regret inheriting this Immortal Scripture. This time in Shenwu Ruins, I always feel as if something is calling me in the dark~"

"Since that's the case, then give up the Yuhua Immortal Scripture. Forcing it won't bring happiness." Wang Anye pondered for a moment, then decided for her, "Perhaps you'll soon find the Immortal Scripture that's most suitable for you."

As soon as Princess Huarui gave up, Wang Baosheng quickly said, "Great-Grandfather, since Aunt doesn't want it, I want to try to get it for my mother. My mother is very suitable for the Yuhua Immortal Scripture!"

Wang Anye chuckled, "Mengyu is indeed very suitable for the Yuhua Immortal Scripture. However, there's more than one person who qualifies to contend with her in the sequence. There's also Luo Tong Great-Aunt Grandmother, and Elder Mei. Even Ji Gongfeng has made many recent contributions... But Ji Gongfeng's sequence has to be moved back a bit, after all, her Bloodline is somewhat insufficient~"

"Luo Tong Ancestor has a fiery temperament, and her mystic combat style is primarily domineering, so she's genuinely not very suitable for the Yuhua Immortal Scripture," Wang Baosheng pondered. "As for Elder Mei..."

Baosheng was genuinely unfamiliar with Elder Mei.

She was too mysterious, and she had contributed immensely to the Wang Clan. Most importantly, he heard from Brother Baoguang that Elder Mei was actually Ancestor Grandfather's concubine... managing the mysterious organization Palace of Immortals, and deeply favored by Ancestor Grandfather.

For a moment, Baosheng felt a headache; this one was not easy to deal with.

"You don't need to worry about Elder Mei," Wang Fugui said with a smile. "I talked to Elder Mei a while ago, and she already has a future goal and will find a way to get it herself."

Is Elder Mei really that powerful?

Wang Baosheng was also filled with solemn respect, and his awe for the mysterious Elder Mei grew even deeper.

"In that case, there's no big problem with Mengyu taking the 'Yuhua Immortal Scripture.' However, the Immortal Scripture requires a high amount of contribution value, and the 'Yuhua Immortal Scripture' also comes with two matching Immortal Artifacts: one is the 'Yuhua Immortal Fire Pouch,' and the other is the 'Jade Immortal Ruyi.' Both are matching Immortal Artifacts that are highly compatible with the Immortal Scripture's attributes, and it wouldn't be good to separate them." Wang Anye frowned slightly. "Mengyu's family contribution is probably far from enough."

Although Yun Mengyu had accumulated some family contributions over the years, she had been immersed in watching dramas and various storybooks during her non-cultivation time, so it was clear her contribution points were definitely not enough.

"My father has it," Wang Baosheng immediately said.

Wang Fugui said with a smile, "Of course it's no problem for me to use my contribution points to get an Immortal Scripture for my wife. But, Baosheng, haven't you been saying you want to scheme for an Immortal Scripture for your mother? You act like such a filial son, but in the end, it's all up to your father?"

"..." Wang Baosheng blushed slightly, "I'm still young, and my contribution points aren't enough. How about, Father, you lend me some first..."

"No lending. A father lending to a son, even if it's reasonable, it gets complicated. If you don't return it, I can't do anything about it," Wang Fugui shook his head. "If you want to fulfill your filial duty, you might as well just owe the family contribution for now, and pay it back slowly later."

"Okay." Wang Baosheng said without hesitation, "Anyway, I'm only at the Heaven-Human Realm. With my ability, I can definitely pay it back in one or two hundred years, and even exchange for one for myself."

"Having confidence is a good thing." Wang Fugui showed an appreciative gaze, patting Baosheng's shoulder. "My Baosheng is not only exceptionally capable, but he is indeed a great filial son, which makes me look at him with new eyes and feel greatly comforted."

"Thank you for the compliment, Father." Wang Baosheng was slightly excited.

From childhood to adulthood, the times his father praised him could be counted on one hand. Most of the time, he would either advise him to relax and not push himself too hard, or he would find an excuse to beat him.

As a son, being too outstanding was also a mistake.

"However, by scheming for an Immortal Scripture for your mother, you've earned the reputation of a greatly filial son." Wang Fugui suddenly changed the topic, sighing, "But doing so inevitably makes your father, your grandfather, your great-grandfather, your great-great-grandfather, and your great-great-great-grandfather seem rather unfilial."

Wang Baosheng's expression changed, and a premonition of ill omen suddenly arose in his heart. He quickly explained, "Father, it's not what you think..."

Wang Fugui, however, didn't give him a chance to finish speaking, continuing with a smile: "But my Baosheng is capable. How about this, you can fulfill filial piety on behalf of your father, your two grandfathers, your great-grandfather, and your great-great-grandfather. As for your great-great-great-grandfather, forget it, Ancestor Grandma doesn't need you to worry. Plan for an Immortal Scripture for all of them."

"What!? You want me to fulfill filial piety for all of them?" Wang Baosheng was struck by lightning.

He quickly calculated in his mind: Mother and Aunt already had theirs, plus two grandmothers, two great-grandmothers, and one great-great-grandmother—a total of five more Immortal Scriptures!

Suddenly, life's pressure seemed immense...

Wang Baosheng's tears welled up in his eyes.

"Fulfilling filial piety for elders, is there a problem?" Wang Fugui looked at him with a smile.

"No, no problem..." Wang Baosheng bravely wiped his tears. "Your son will definitely do it. Five Immortal Scriptures, five Immortal Artifacts, not one will be left out."

"Alright, alright." Wang Anye finally couldn't stand it anymore, glaring at Fugui. "Fugui, don't always bully Baosheng. In the future, each of you will fulfill your filial duties to your own mothers; don't put so much pressure on Baosheng."

Wang Fugui also laughed heartily, patting Baosheng's shoulder: "My Baosheng is quite responsible. Your father is truly gratified. However, your Great-Grandfather said that you shouldn't try to bear everything alone. If everyone in our family shares a little, there's nothing that can't be accomplished."

"Father, I..." Wang Baosheng.

"Alright." Wang Fugui interrupted him, his expression also becoming serious. "Do you perhaps look down on your father, thinking that he's the number one profligate in the world, unable to shoulder responsibilities?"

"No, no, no, Father is excellent and has made countless contributions to the family and the Human Clan." Wang Baosheng truly admired his father from the bottom of his heart.

"Then that's fine. If you ever feel pressured, don't always keep it bottled up," Wang Fugui said, patting his shoulder earnestly. "As the saying says, brothers fight tigers together, and father and son go into battle together. Whatever happens, we'll face it together. Even if the sky falls, your father will bear it first for you. Your family members will always be your strongest shield and most reliable haven, remember that?"

"Yes, your son remembers," Wang Baosheng felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

These words, about his father bearing the weight if the sky fell, immediately gave him a profound sense of security. The pressure and urgency that had shadowed him since birth seemed to dissipate a great deal.

"When you go back this time, have a good relationship, don't miss out on your youth. You know, you're only young once, and youth is short. Don't wait until you're old and look back with no memories. Although your taste is a bit... special, your father has sternly forgiven you."

"..." Wang Baosheng was stunned.

Father, should I also thank you for your forgiveness?

Regardless of how turbulent Wang Baosheng's heart was, Wang Anye, seeing that Wang Fugui and Wang Baosheng had agreed, gave the "Yuhua Immortal Scripture" and its two matching Immortal Artifacts to Wang Fugui. Upon their return, Wang Fugui and Wang Baosheng would then hand them over to Yun Mengyu.

After dealing with these matters, one of Wang Anye's main tasks for this trip was completed.

Wang Fugui didn't delay. He immediately claimed the Taiqing Immortal Sword as his own, and then found an empty room in this Moonlight Palace to inherit the [Taiqing Immortal Scripture].

The process of inheriting the Immortal Scripture went smoothly, and there was no ripple during the cleansing of heaven and earth essence.

Wang Fugui remained calm throughout, and after familiarizing himself with the Immortal Scripture, he began the dull, monotonous work of picking up treasures.

The few of them had done similar work many, many times, and their cooperation had long become tacit. Without needing any special instructions, they skillfully settled into their roles.

Crimson Hell Demon Emperor, along with Immortal Lords Di Xiu and Wu Dao, used their Mysterious Qi to protect the group, slowly delving deeper into the Shenwu Ruins, continuously shifting positions to cover different areas.

Wang Fugui and the Seven-Colored Glazed Treasure Gathering Tree, Wang Baochai, urged their treasure energy, producing branches full of various colored glazed fruits.

The Tree of Luck, Wang Baofu, activated his innate divine ability, condensing auspicious red clouds representing fortune to envelop Wang Anye, temporarily raising Wang Anye's fortune to its peak. Then, Wang Anye began to unenthusiastically open the fruit blind boxes one by one.

"Damaged Dao Weapon, garbage."

"A Treasure Codex? Not bad, I guess."

"Hmm, a large scale, such a domineering and fierce aura, could it be an important scale of Chilong Demon Lord? Take it back for the Artifact Refining General Division to play with."

"Spatial crystal, good stuff~"

One "garbage" item after another was collected after initial appraisal, categorized by value, and properly stored.

Everyone present was already an "experienced worker," so their hearts remained calm. However, Wang Baosheng, seeing this scene for the first time, was dumbfounded, feeling as if his worldview had been completely overturned.

In the past, his father used to casually say that he and his Great-Grandfather were picking up "garbage" in the Shenwu Ruins to supplement their household expenses. He actually thought they were literally picking up garbage, and had even imagined how hard it must be!

He never expected that picking up garbage would be done this way!

This truly challenged the very foundation of his common sense.

In just this short while, the harvest could no longer be described as "quite abundant." Wasn't this far more profitable than the Cultural Entertainment Division he had painstakingly built?

"Baosheng, you're scared too, aren't you?" Princess Huarui chuckled, patting her nephew's shoulder, speaking with the tone of an experienced person. "Our family has too many freaks. Compared to them, I feel like I'm really too normal. You'll get used to it eventually."

Freaks?

Wang Baosheng nodded in deep agreement.

He naturally recognized the innate Half-Immortal Plants of his father and great-grandfather. He had even attended the Clan School with them and interacted with them many times, but now that he was in the Wang Clan Advanced Clan School, he was naturally no longer in the same place as them.

Only before this, he had never imagined that Half-Immortal Plants could be used in such a way.

Compared to the monstrousness of his father and great-grandfather, Wang Baosheng instantly became much "ordinary." Even all the things he had stirred up by establishing the Cultural Entertainment Division at nine years old seemed insignificant in comparison.

However, they were his own family after all.

Soon, Wang Baosheng accepted the reality that he was just an ordinary Innate Dao Body.

Unbeknownst to him, the heavy pressure on his shoulders seemed to lighten considerably, replaced by a vibrant energy and fighting spirit he had never felt before.

It's okay to have a gap; as long as you work hard, you can slowly bridge it.

He was still young and had plenty of time.

While Hua Rui and Baosheng were talking, Wang Anye was still unhurriedly opening "blind boxes." As more and more various "garbage" accumulated, the number of good items found also gradually increased.

"Hmm, is this a pair of twin maces? Such a powerful aura, could it be a pair of Immortal Maces?" Suddenly, Wang Anye's eyes lit up, and he became happy. "It's not easy, I haven't picked up an Immortal Artifact in quite some time."

What appeared in his hand was a pair of golden twin maces, perfectly intact in appearance.

The twin maces were ancient in form, with golden dragon patterns on their bodies, and the hilt guards were shaped like roaring dragon heads, looking very imposing as if furious dragons were roaring.

A domineering and majestic dragon's might emanated from the twin maces, spreading along with a vast and majestic Immortal Spirit Qi, clearly indicating they were Immortal Artifacts.

A name suddenly flashed through Princess Huarui's mind, and she instinctively blurted it out.

"Raging Dragon Twin Maces?"
