Doupo: I'm just an alchemist

Chapter 71: Things of the Older Generation
"In fact, if you look closely, you can still see the extraordinary qualities of this seemingly ordinary pill."

Nangong Wuxin pointed to the top-grade Imperial Pill in his hand and said, "If your perception is strong enough and you're more careful, you can vaguely sense the tremendous energy contained in this pill."

Chen Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at Nangong Wuxin's serious expression. She had been sensing for a long time, so why didn't she feel anything?
"Ahem, to sense the subtle differences here, you need at least the soul power of a fifth-grade alchemist. Mother, you're still a little short."

"Humph!"

Chen Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, pinched Nangong Wuxin's face hard, and then felt relieved.

"You know your mother's alchemy skills are not good, but you, a sixth-grade alchemist, don't give her some guidance. Do you really need your mother to beg you personally?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? After I came back, weren't you busy preparing a surprise for me? Let's start tonight. Where do you want to start?"

Nangong Wuxin held two Huangji Pills in his hand, bent over, and said to Chen Xiaoxiao with a smile.

It's his mother's fault. If it were someone else, he would have kicked them out long ago. You dare to learn from him and still do this? You really don't know your place!

But there's nothing he can do, because this is his mother.
The people standing by couldn't stop laughing when watching this scene.

This is the first time I’ve seen a fourth-grade alchemist dare to speak to a sixth-grade alchemist like this.

"Madam, now that Wuxin has entered the sixth level, your inheritance can be said to have truly entered the realm of the master." Nangong Jue said to Chen Xiaoxiao.

He looked at Nangong Wuxin and patted Nangong Wuxin's shoulder with satisfaction.

He is such a good son. He is so young but he has already taken on the responsibility of the family!
When Chen Xiaoxiao heard Nangong Jue's words, she nodded slightly and rubbed Nangong Wuxin's face with a smile.

"Mom, you haven't told me about grandpa's generation yet? Is there some grudge or something?"

Nangong Wuxin suddenly remembered that since he was a child, his parents had never told him about the older generation.

For a moment, Nangong Wuxin subconsciously recalled some novels he had read in his previous life, such as the daughter of a peerless master, who met an ordinary boy and gave up everything for love...

"Well...how should I put it? The situation of the older generation is rather special. Anyway, there is no hatred, so you don't have to worry about it." Chen Xiaoxiao's words were vague. After considering it for a while, she told Nangong Wuxin not to care about it.

Nangong Wuxin was stunned for a moment. Is there anything that cannot be said?

No grudge?
"Is there really no hatred, or is the enemy too powerful? Dad and Mom, please don't hide it from me. Although I can't say that I am invincible in the Douqi Continent, I do have some abilities. There is no reason for me not to know about my relatives' affairs."

Nangong Wuxin looked into the eyes of his parents with great persistence.

Nangong Jue sighed, with a helpless expression on his face, and said, "Well, actually, your grandfather and your maternal grandfather are old friends, and your mother and I are childhood sweethearts. You should be able to see this, otherwise I wouldn't be able to marry a wife as good as your mother, hiss!"

Chen Xiaoxiao pinched the soft flesh on Nangong Jue's waist a little embarrassedly, causing the middle-aged man to gasp.

"Once, the two elders went together into the Magical Beast Mountain to collect high-quality medicinal herbs guarded by a fifth-level Magical Beast."

"Then they failed, and were..." Nangong Wuxin looked at the expressions of his parents and felt that it shouldn't be that simple.

"No, they succeeded. Both of them are masters at the peak of Douling Spirit level. Not only did they successfully obtain the medicinal materials, but they also escaped unscathed."

When Nangong Jue talked about the two elders, although it was a bit disrespectful, it always felt a bit funny.

"After they came back, they were so happy that they had a big drink. After all, two Douling spirits snatching food from the jaws of a fifth-level monster is a feat worth bragging about for a lifetime."

"Then, after they drank too much, they felt a little hot and ran to a nearby river to swim." "It's normal that you didn't know. Our family was not here at the time."

Chen Xiaoxiao took over Nangong Jue's words and said helplessly: "It had rained heavily at the time, and the river was already rushing. The two old men were drunk and jumped into the river. They didn't even have time to react and died..."

"what?"

Nangong Wuxin's mouth twitched and he began to doubt his life.

A powerful Douling master was drowned. Are you kidding me?
The three women standing by were also stunned, looking at their parents-in-law in amazement. Isn't this a bit outrageous?

He is a top Douling master and one of them is an alchemist. How could they be drowned?

Nangong Jue and Chen Xiaoxiao covered their foreheads. The reason they didn't want to mention these things was that they both felt it was a bit outrageous.

It sounds like it's made up, but it's the truth!
"We also hope that they can die normally, at least they can have a channel to vent their emotions, but this is the truth."

. . . . . .

Sometimes the truth of things is so bizarre it sounds like a joke.

After hearing the truth of the matter, Nangong Wuxin wanted to comfort his parents, but found that there seemed to be nothing worth comforting.

It was simply an accident caused by two old men drinking too much.

Is it right to just say that the deceased is gone and the family shouldn't be overly sad?
Nangong Jue looked at Nangong Wuxin's conflicted expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and knew that this kid must be feeling very awkward right now.

"Ahem, don't worry about comforting me and your mother. Just remember what happened to the two old men and take it as a warning. Think carefully before doing anything, and don't act rashly. Especially you, Wuxin. The most taboo for young people is to argue over impulse. You are a sixth-rank alchemist. With your talent, your future is limitless. Some people's lives are just so-so, but your future is extremely bright. You are a precious jade, don't mess with those stinky stones casually."

"Although what your father said was a bit harsh, that's the truth. Wuxin, life is still long, there's no need to fight for a short period of time. Of course, if someone really provokes you, don't be soft-hearted."

"Yes, Wuxin, don't forget our family motto: If you don't remove the grass at its roots, it will grow again in the spring breeze!"

Seeing that Nangong Wuxin had truly grown up, the couple began to impart their survival wisdom to him.

Avoid meaningless fights if possible, but if it involves the bottom line, then cut the grass at its roots and don't give the enemy any chance to turn the tables.

Nangong Wuxin carefully wrote down every word his parents said, not daring to be disrespectful in any way.

The Dou Qi continent is huge, and the Dou Qi that has been developed to the extreme has made this world extremely exciting, but also very cruel.

Dou Ling, to the truly powerful, seems to be just a small figure.

But sometimes, the survival wisdom of ordinary people often contains the most simple truths.

That night, both Nangong Wuxin and the others learned a lot.

Don't underestimate anyone and never take anything lightly. Even a Dou Zun strong man can be backstabbed by a small person.

You said so, Yao Chen.
