What does it mean for Water Attribute Spiritual Power comprehension to reach Perfection? Although he didn't cultivate Water Attribute Spiritual Power, he felt that if he did, he could easily control its properties without needing a long time to adapt.
However, after washing the first hundred diapers, continuing to wash them no longer brought any rewards.
Shen Wang didn't stop washing just because there were no rewards.
To him, it's a father's responsibility, washing a diaper doesn't waste much time, and besides diapers, he's also been washing his daughter's swaddling clothes recently.
During the day, Shen Wang looked at a pile of toys with a sense of accomplishment.
This month, he's made many toys for his daughter, including various small animals, a small rocking horse, small cars, and spinning tops, more than twenty types, suitable for his daughter to play with from infancy to a few years old.
He picked up a piece of wood, and before long, a little rabbit appeared, and at the same time, he gained a bit of Artifact Refining experience.
Just a little more and he could reach 30, perhaps becoming an official Artifact Refiner, and make money through artifact refining.
Putting down the toys, Shen Wang came to the wall and saw the runes on it were even more broken, and he couldn't help but show a worried expression.
Relying solely on this increasingly incomplete Talisman Array for protection, there was always a sense of insecurity, fearing it might break next time.
"I must quickly study or find a way to repair it."
Shen Wang thought to himself when footsteps came from behind, and Chunmei walked over tearfully, kneeling with a thud: "Master, she hit me!"
Shen Wang turned around and looked at Jia'Er coming out of the bedroom: "What's going on?"
"She's skipped feeding Jia'Er several times and deliberately pretended she did."
Jia'Er said angrily.
"What's the matter with you?"
Shen Wang's face darkened, and he glared coldly at Chunmei, who was kneeling and pretending to be wronged, before slapping her: "Is the reward I'm giving you not enough?"
"Master, I'm sorry, I wanted to feed, but... but I just don't have much milk left."
Chunmei, being slapped, was dizzy and bleeding from her nose, almost fainted, knocked her head on the ground with a face full of grievance.
"Why didn't you say earlier!"
Jia'Er said angrily: "If you had said so earlier, we naturally would have looked for a second wet nurse!"
"I... I..."
Chunmei stammered.
"Alright, I understand what you're thinking, isn't it just fear of not being able to earn this money anymore?"
Shen Wang's gaze turned cold.
Chunmei stayed silent.
She did think so, thirty copper coins a day, three hundred for ten days, and three thousand a month, which is three strings of copper coins, something their family couldn't save in ten years.
Staying one more day means earning more than what the family can save in a month.
"Ignorant of the big picture! Repeat this, and I'll kill you!"
Shen Wang showed a murderous look.
Chunmei instantly urinated in fear, knocking her head forcefully: "Master, spare me, I really didn't mean it."
Shen Wang didn't bother wasting words with this foolish woman, and said to Jia'Er: "Have you got any leads on what you've been asking about?"
"The nearest Lingxi Town has several suitable ones, but their family conditions are good, unwilling to travel long distances."
Jia'Er replied helplessly.
Shen Wang sighed: "If they won't come, then we'll have to go, even if we have to capture one back."
"But what about the ancestral home?"
Jia'Er worried.
"You'll have to guard it."
"Master... I... I'll eat more milk-inducing food, I can hold on for a few more days."
Chunmei, while wiping her nosebleed, tried to make amends, thinking she was about to be abandoned or even beaten to death, complaining: "Master, it's the young miss who eats too much, otherwise, I wouldn't have run out so quickly."
"Hmph, still blaming the child at this time? Do you think I can't beat you to death?"
Shen Wang also got a little angry, if not for this being the only wet nurse in Fengming Town, he would really drive this woman away.
Chunmei immediately shut up, trembling, no longer daring to make excuses.
Shen Wang shook his head, now wasn't the time to waste words with a village woman, if not for her feeding the daughter for a while and the daughter being used to it, he might really kill someone.
For a Cultivator, a mortal's life is as insignificant as grass!
He suppressed his anger, glanced at the sky, and said: "If the frequency is reduced, how many times can you feed now?"
"Four times." Chunmei, seeing there was still a chance, quickly replied.
"Be precise, can you guarantee three times?"
"Yes, definitely yes, but it'll be difficult once the child gets a bit older."
"Hmph, then keep the night feeds, I'm going to Lingxi Town now to find a wet nurse."
Shen Wang made a decisive decision, telling Jia'Er: "Give me the address, stay here and guard the house, I'll be back before dark."
His strength is greater than Jia'Er's, mastering cultivation techniques, it's safest to take the daughter out, and also the fastest.
"Husband be careful, it's said that there's been natural disasters and wars outside recently, many refugees, and there have been bandits near Fengming Town."
Jia'Er reminded.
"Mmm."
Shen Wang noted this down, hurried back to the room, took a few diapers, bound his daughter to his chest, and quickly walked out of the ancestral home.
Lingxi Town is thirty li away, and the places Jia'Er mentioned are even farther, he'd have to travel over sixty li back and forth.
He calculated the time, there were four hours until dark, and he needed to limit the travel time to one hour as much as possible, so the daughter could feed once more.
Glancing at the sleeping daughter in his arms, Shen Wang gathered his energy, his body leaping lightly, covering three zhang in one leap, quickly sprinting away.
Although he is a cultivator, his body, tempered and strengthened by Spiritual Power, still far exceeds ordinary people, not inferior to those martial arts Innate Grandmasters, so his speed was very fast, even from a close distance, he appeared as a fleeting shadow.
It's been a long time since he's been out, and the outside was vast and desolate, the terrain lowered as he moved forward, stepping from the woodland into the hills.
There were few people on the road, after running several li before he could see some buildings gathered in a mountain valley in the distance, that's the settlement of Fengming Town, and the ancestral home was nearly ten li from the town.
He didn't enter the town, taking a side path, and discovered that outside the town someone had built small huts with rotten wood, only sufficient for shelter and warmth.
Is there really a refugee here?
Shen Wang was surprised, looking more closely.
Even at a li distance, with his eyesight, he could see very clearly.
These people wore ragged clothes, with sallow faces, were gathered around a pot, inside were only rotten vegetable leaves.
Nearby, an old man with disheveled hair was holding a compass, foolishly shouting towards Shen Wang's direction: "Ghost... there's a ghost!"
"Stop making a racket, a ghost is better than starving to death, keep yelling and we'll eat you, you old codger!"
Someone shouted fiercely, but the old man seemed not to hear, still mumbling about a ghost.
Shen Wang frowned, glancing at this madman, sensed a cold Evil Qi, suspected there really was a ghost.
Without meddling, he dashed past with a whoosh, it was then that others noticed the shadow passing by, disappearing in an instant.
"Really a ghost, did someone just run past?"
"No one's here, you're seeing things."
"The water's almost boiled, drink quickly to warm up."
The refugees jostled to drink the soup made of rotten vegetable leaves, only the madman kept muttering.
When Shen Wang reached the next settlement, the sun was nearly at its peak, he wiped the sweat beads gradually forming on his forehead and exhaled a puff of white air: "The time is about right, I'll inquire about the location of the first household."
He looked down at his daughter, who was staring at him, and Shen Wang couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I'll find you a new wet nurse soon, maybe this time it'll taste even better."
"Yi Ya Yi Ya."
The little one moved a bit, and Shen Wang thought of something, reached to touch her.
"Oh, you peed, daddy will change you right away."
Shen Wang ran to the stream on the side and quickly changed the diaper for his daughter to avoid her catching a chill.
