Old Jack came before Qian Renxue, "Little Chen, won't you introduce her to Grandpa?"
Jiang Chen supported Old Jack and said, "Grandpa, her name is Xue'er."
"Xue'er, nice name." Old Jack nodded in great satisfaction, then looked toward Xiao Ying.
"And this one?"
Why are you still thinking about this… Jiang Chen said helplessly, "This little maid is called Xiao Ying."
Old Jack nodded, "Xiao Ying is also good."
"Xue'er, Xiao Ying, this is my Grandpa."
Qian Renxue and Xiao Ying forced out smiles, "Hello, Grandpa."
Their voices were as crisp and pleasant as orioles singing, making Old Jack feel comfortable all over. He felt he could live a few more years and even hold his great-grandson.
"When are you going to marry Little Chen?" Old Jack asked as kindly and gently as possible.
Jiang Chen's head ached. He was only twelve years old, yet Old Jack was already so anxious.
Qian Renxue and Xiao Ying both fell silent, their two pairs of eyes staring at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen quickly pulled Old Jack into the house. "Grandpa, girls are thin-skinned, so don't worry about this matter."
"That's true." Old Jack nodded.
"In our village, you still remember Tiger, right? He's a few years older than you and already a father. You've grown even taller and stronger than him now, so you really need to hurry…"
"Got it."
Jiang Chen helped Old Jack into the house, then turned back and pointed at his own room, "That's my room. You two can go inside and rest for a while."
...
Jiang Chen pressed Old Jack down to sit on the bed.
Old Jack asked in confusion, "Why did you bring me back into the room?"
"To give you something good to eat." Jiang Chen smiled as he took out the medicinal pills.
They were one Origin Cultivation Pill and one Muscle Regeneration and Blood Circulation Pill.
The Origin Cultivation Pill could promote cultivation for soul masters; for ordinary people, it also had the effect of strengthening the foundation, cultivating the origin, and invigorating the vital energy.
The Muscle Regeneration and Blood Circulation Pill was a healing medicine. Old Jack's body had declining qi and blood; this pill was a great tonic for him.
These two kinds of pills would allow Old Jack to live over a hundred years without illness or pain.
"What is this?" Old Jack looked at the two round, blackish things with some confusion.
They looked like medicinal pills and emitted a very alluring fresh fragrance.
"Grandpa, these are tonics. After eating them, you can strengthen your body and live to be a hundred years old without any problems. Hurry and eat them."
"You're such a filial boy."
Of course, no matter what, I'm more filial than that Tang San kid, Jiang Chen thought to himself.
He first had Old Jack take the Origin Cultivation Pill, and only after a while did he have him take the Muscle Regeneration and Blood Circulation Pill.
The Muscle Regeneration and Blood Circulation Pill had a certain effect of cleansing the marrow and cutting the hair for ordinary people. Old Jack's weakened body might not be able to withstand it, so he had to take the foundation-strengthening pill first.
In just a moment, Old Jack's body began to change.
A head of nearly all-white hair turned pitch-black at a speed visible to the naked eye. His hunched body gradually straightened, and his cloudy eyes became clearer and clearer…
At this moment, Old Jack seemed to be undergoing reverse growth, his body undergoing astonishing changes.
"Little Chen, Grandpa's body feels so hot, but it's full of strength." Sensing the changes in himself, Old Jack was overjoyed.
He had already reached the end of his life and probably wouldn't live many more years. He never expected that just two pills would make him much younger.
Jiang Chen smiled and took out a mirror. Old Jack looked at himself in the mirror in disbelief, his mind somewhat blank.
Wasn't this what he looked like in his fifties? His hair hadn't turned white yet, there were a few wrinkles on his face, and his body was still straight and strong.
"Divine medicine, it's truly divine medicine!" Old Jack was so excited that tears were about to fall.
Two pills had made him twenty years younger. If this wasn't divine medicine, what was?
Unknowingly, a thick layer of impurities had seeped out from his body, gray-black and emitting bursts of stench.
The impurities and toxins in an elderly person's body were far more than in a young person's.
Old Jack frowned deeply.
Jiang Chen laughed, "Grandpa, these are the impurities from inside your body being expelled. Just wash them off, and you'll be fine."
He took out a bottle of Origin Cultivation Pills and a bottle of Muscle Regeneration and Blood Circulation Pills, "Take one of each every month. After eating them two or three times, once your body no longer expels impurities, you can stop."
These pills had the best effect the first time; afterward, the effect would gradually weaken. Two or three times should be enough.
Old Jack put them away and carefully hid them in a secret compartment under the bed.
Jiang Chen's sharp eyes noticed that inside, there were quite a few gold soul coins and silver soul coins.
Old Jack stood up and said, "This is Grandpa's savings from most of his life, saved for you to use when you get married later."
"Grandpa, you can keep it for yourself. I don't lack money." As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out another bag of gold soul coins and weighed it; there were probably several hundred coins.
Old Jack took the bag and looked at it. His eyes were almost blinded by the shine. Shocked, he asked, "Where did you get so much money?"
"Grandpa, you still don't know my identity in the Spirit Hall, right?" Jiang Chen asked.
"What identity? Weren't you just going to Spirit City to study? That's what Little San told me."
"Grandpa, let me tell you a secret. Back then, your grandson was taken as a disciple by the Pope."
Old Jack looked at Jiang Chen in shock, unable to speak.
He still knew about the Pope, who was a figure standing at the peak of the Douluo Continent, known to everyone. He was a person who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the emperors of the two great empires.
"And now I have already been conferred the title of Holy Son by the Pope. Without any accidents, I will be the next Pope."
Jiang Chen looked at his grandfather proudly. Seeing his grandfather's shocked expression, his mood suddenly became cheerful.
It felt as if he had returned to his childhood.
Old Jack suddenly grabbed Jiang Chen's arm with both hands, his grip very strong. Excitedly, he said, "Really?"
Jiang Chen took out the Holy Son token. "It's true."
Old Jack held the token, turning it over and over. He couldn't understand it, but he believed his grandson.
"The golden wavy-haired one outside is the current Pope's daughter. She hasn't been successfully pursued by me yet, so you have to be careful with your words, old man."
The Pope's daughter! What a noble girl that was. No wonder she was so beautiful.
"Do you have confidence?" Old Jack asked expectantly.
Jiang Chen nodded, "I have full confidence, but it will take time."
Old Jack laughed heartily, patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder, and said, "Grandpa believes in you. Now that I've become so much younger, I will definitely live to see that day."
His figure was no longer hunched; he stood with his chest out and back straight, and his flesh gradually became fuller.
Sensing that the medicinal effect in Old Jack's body had finished taking effect, Jiang Chen said, "Grandpa, go wash your body first."
"Oh, right. This smell is really unpleasant." Old Jack hurriedly went out the door to the bathing room to rinse off.
At this time, outside the village chief's courtyard, many villagers had already gathered. They curiously looked inside, pointing and whispering, guessing the identities of Jiang Chen and the others.
This group of strangers had been inside the village chief's courtyard for so long; they definitely weren't ordinary merchants asking for water.
Especially that golden-haired girl in the courtyard, she left them stunned as if facing a celestial being.
It was as if they were facing a fairy descended from the heavens. Involuntarily, they felt a sense of inferiority.
She was truly too beautiful. Just one glance was enough to almost make them suffocate.
The villagers' gazes all shifted away from the girl, not daring to look more, as if afraid of disturbing or offending the immortal maiden.
More than ten minutes later, Old Jack changed into the clothes from his younger days and walked out full of vigor and high spirits.
The older villagers gathered at the entrance were shocked.
They pointed at Old Jack, stammering and unable to speak.
