Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 832: Message 832

Qi Wen held Tan Shaoting’s hand. "Dad, the three of us ran for our lives. I think we need this cultivation technique. Otherwise, we might not be so lucky next time; if we’re caught, it’ll be troublesome."

Tan Shaoting nodded. "You couldn’t escape the speed of the long-armed ape. What happened?"

"Dad, just like you said, we saw the Vermilion Fruit and didn’t see any demon beasts. Second Brother even got two small seedlings.

Big Brother didn’t let us pick them all, and then we started running, fearing there might be demon beasts.

But this demon beast was really formidable, chasing us all night."

"Alright, your Big Brother acted very correctly. You must not overdo anything.

You’ve seen it today. In the future, whatever you do, always leave some leeway."

The three children nodded obediently.

Qi Wen whispered, "Dad, we have a lot of Vermilion Fruits in hand."

Tan Shaoting smiled and nodded. "You three share them; that way, I can be at ease."

Qi Hong came over. "Dad, I have two Vermilion Fruit Tree Seedlings here. Take them back and plant them."

"Good. If they bear Vermilion Fruits in the future, that’ll be great. We won’t lack Spirit Revitalizing Pills then."

Returning to the workshop, the father and the three children didn’t go back directly but went to eat instead.

To be honest, Qi Yan and the other two were really hungry.

After a night of non-stop escape, how could they not be hungry?

After eating to their fill, they went back to rest.

Tan Shaoting planted the two Vermilion Fruit Tree Seedlings in the space, thinking of giving his wife one when they return.

Although his wife never mentioned her space could be used for planting, the spiritual medicine she brought out showed it.

The next day, while the children were still cultivating, Tan Shaoting went to Duobao Pavilion.

"Mr. Tan, I was about to notify you; the inventory count delayed me.

The Thunder Shocking Pearls you wanted have arrived—ten of them in total."

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper. I’m also here today to request something."

"Mr. Tan, feel free to speak. What request?"

"Shopkeeper, I need a movement technique, a high-level one."

"You wouldn’t be interested in the cultivation techniques we have here.

But there’s an auction at the Salt City Duobao Pavilion in two months.

Here’s an entry ticket for you, Mr. Tan. You can go and check it out. There should be something there. Even if the auction doesn’t have it, you can look at the shops there."

"Thank you very much, Shopkeeper."

"No need to be polite. Go ahead. I’ve heard there’s good stuff there this time. However, I don’t know exactly what they are since I haven’t gotten specific information yet."

"Alright, I’ll definitely go. Speed is indeed the children’s weakness. Having a cultivation technique would be great."

After paying with Spirit Stones, he went back.

Sun Erniang was not far away, watching Tan Shaoting.

Such an outstanding man, why doesn’t he pay attention to me?

She also entered Duobao Pavilion.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any useful information?"

The Shopkeeper knew Sun Erniang. He glanced at her. "There’s an auction in Salt City."

"That’s good news, but for someone like me, even just going to look feels extravagant." Sun Erniang smiled bitterly.

The Shopkeeper didn’t say anything more.

"By the way, the Shopkeeper must have told Mr. Tan this news too, right? He has the ability to go check it out."

Sun Erniang saw the Shopkeeper didn’t deny it and knew Tan Shaoting would definitely go. So she planned to follow him and have a look; maybe she’d get an opportunity.

Tan Shaoting came back and saw the three children eating.

"Dad, did you go to Duobao Pavilion?" Their father was really kind toward them and knew they didn’t have a movement technique. So he’d definitely find a way.

"Yes, Duobao Pavilion doesn’t have good stuff right now. But in two months, there’s an auction at Salt City Duobao Pavilion. We’ll set off tomorrow and go there to check it out."

"An auction? I want to go. I wonder if there’ll be good stuff?" Qi Hong was a bit excited.

"What good stuff? We already have quite a lot of good things." Qi Wen teased the Second Brother.

"I also want to go and have a look. Don’t you want to go, Qi Wen?"

"I do. Going to join the fun, who knows where our opportunity lies?"

"Dad, let’s pack more Spirit Food; I don’t want to eat roast meat anymore."

"Alright, I’ll go later. You three pack up yourselves; we’ll leave tomorrow morning."

Tan Shaoting packed plenty of Spirit Food and put it straight into a Storage Bag.

At home, the father and three children divided them up, ensuring everyone had what they needed. All preparations were made.

The next day, the father and three children left the workshop, letting out the Flying Boat directly. They hadn’t thought of changing it; this was good enough. They had time, so they could travel leisurely.

"Dad, do you think this auction will have a lot of demon beasts?" Qi Yan asked.

Tan Shaoting nodded. "Probably. Yesterday, the Shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion said there’s good stuff, but didn’t know what it was.

If the auction doesn’t have a movement technique, I plan to use Vermilion Fruit for a trade.

I think it’ll work. After all, Duobao Pavilion’s auction is still worth a look."

Sun Erniang kept an eye on Tan Shaoting and his children, watching them leave. She didn’t follow right away but waited a bit before leaving the workshop.

This time she checked out and brought all her belongings. If Tan Shaoting still didn’t give her a chance, she wouldn’t come back.

Advancing was indeed difficult; spiritual energy was too thin, and there weren’t many resources. Better to venture outside.

She knew even if Tan Shaoting saw her following, he wouldn’t care. Thinking about it made her sad; though she’s a Dual Spirit Roots cultivator, now over forty, she was still at Qi Refining Eighth Layer.

Although her previous sect was small, it provided her with cultivation techniques and resources.

After becoming a Loose Cultivator, she realized life outside was truly tough.

The father and three children continued flying by day and resting at night.

"Dad, the woman behind us is the one selling stuff at the workshop."

Tan Shaoting nodded. "She has nothing to do with us."

Salt City wasn’t too far away; twenty days later, the father and his children arrived there.

It was on par with the Four-direction City. The entry fee was ten Spirit Stones.

"Dad, we arrived early; there aren’t many people here yet?"

"Yes, let’s find a place to stay." Tan Shaoting would never let his children suffer.

Sun Erniang also entered Salt City. All the way, she saved Spirit Stones, but the entrance fee required ten Spirit Stones. She paid it, though reluctantly.

She had already decided not to return, even though the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm was just over a year away. But there really wasn’t anything good in it.

Even if she stays in Salt City to work for others, she’d rather stay. Otherwise, she’d just end up dying. Truly unwilling, why? She’s sure she can achieve Foundation Establishment, and then she’d have three hundred years of lifespan.
