CHAPTER 273: CHAPTER 273: THE SENSIBLE YOUNGSTERS

"If there is anyone with old injuries at home, let them take the healing pill first before taking the marrow cleansing pill. It will help condition their bodies and heal any hidden injuries that have lingered even for years. I am sure that grandpa Li has a lot of those, so he must take a healing pill first.

Also, before you take the marrow cleansing pill, you have to prepare yourself mentally. It is painful. You are going to feel as if someone is grinding your bones and cutting your flesh a full hour.

If you can endure it to the end, it will remove the impurities in your body and make your body optimal for cultivation. Again, an advantage for future cultivation.

If you can’t endure, then you will also have to limit your cultivation. With impurities in the body, the rate at which you can absorb spiritual energy is limited and breakthroughs are going to be challenging. So, I would advise enduring the pain for that one hour.

Another piece of advice, take the marrow cleansing pill while alone in a bathtub. I hope you have enough water to bathe because the filth that is going to be expelled from your bodies is unimaginable." Chu Miao explained further what to expect when taking the pills.

She also placed several space rings on the table.

"These are space rings. They are all the same size so you can take whichever you want. I have put a few supplies and weapons inside. Once you are able to cultivate and can open it, drop a drop of blood on the ring to claim it as your own before using it." Chu Miao felt that she had explained everything and proceeded to teach the Li family siblings the chanting mantra for meditating to start cultivating.

After seeing that they have learned everything, grandpa Chu then said a few words and had Chu Hao escort them home.

"Tell your grandfather I am waiting for him to catch up. I can’t be the only one who lives for hundreds of years alone." he said as if living for so many years was a bad thing and had to be shared with others to make him feel better.

However, the youngsters there were already used to the bickering of the two old men, so, no one took his words to heart even though they would still deliver them.

"Oh, I almost forgot, do you guys need anything that can’t spoil quickly and need to take home? We have a way to preserve fresh food, so even if we have years’ worth of food, it won’t go bad. You can always come for more when you run out.

If you also need other things that can’t be stored at home, feel free to come get some any time." Chu Miao realized that the Li family had not expressed whether they were okay with them keeping everything like the others and decided to ask.

Li Kian and the others didn’t think there was anything wrong with the Chu family keeping everything together. They were even willing to share something as secret as cultivation with them showing how much trust they had in them.

Then what right did they have to grumble over material things like supplies? They could even go out and look for more if they needed them.

"I think that we should just go out and look for other supplies if we need them. There are still supplies scattered in different places that could be salvaged. From the way things are going, maybe in less than a year we would need to dig three feet into the ground to find a packet of noodles. Why not take advantage of the situation now and accumulate more supplies instead of using what we already have?" Li Han suggested this because as a business man, he understood what scarcity can do to people.

Right now, people are still relatively peaceful because they can scavenge and find food and water. Once such things become scarce, things will become bad and at that time even if they are strong, they will have constant conflicts with others and even lives might be lost.

Now that they still had the ability to collect more supplies, he felt that they should take advantage of the situation.

"Big brother is right. Let’s not touch what we have now. Since now we also have space rings that can be used to put as many supplies as possible when we come across them, I think it is better to take advantage of the fact that we can still find some things and collect as many supplies as possible." Li Kian also added.

"It is good that you young people can thing that way. Then make sure you are careful when you go out to look for supplies. But if you need something that you can’t get outside now, remember to come and get it." Chu Mo said and praised the Li family upbringing in his heart.

Any other youngsters would probably think that since they found the supplies, they were entitled to use them without any care for the future. It is good that they could think about saving what they already had for a rainy day.

"Do you have pork?" Li Pan really didn’t stand on ceremony when she heard that she could ask for anything. She had missed eating pork trotters and wanted to have that taste again.

In the two cooler boxes that were filled with meat brought to their house the previous night, there was some pork, but it was not the part she wanted.

Li Kian was about to reprimand his sister when Mother Chu replied.

"Of course there is. Which part do you want? Or do you want a whole pig? You can take it with you."

This statement shocked the three siblings again. They could take a whole pig? Just how much meat did the Chu family have?

"Pig trotters." Li pan replied in a daze.
