Only when Jared mentioned the birthmark in Catina’s private area did the old man believe him. After all, anyone who knew about that must have shared a bed with Catina.
“So, you really are my son-in-law… Please get up quickly.” The elderly man acknowledged Jared’s identity.
The elderly man sized up Jared, growing fonder of with each passing moment. He then patted Jared’s shoulder, saying, “Not bad… Although your cultivation level isn’t at a high level yet, you’re quite capable. You’re also easy on the eyes. Are you two planning on having a child?”
“No, not yet. We planned to wait until Catina also arrived in the celestial realm and possessed the immortal’s bones before having a child. That way, the child will be born with an immortal’s bones and have an advantage from the start…”
“When the time comes, you can also be here, helping us watch over your grandchildren and enjoying the bliss of family unions,” lied Jared.
“Well, well! When the time comes, I plan on showering my grandchildren with a multitude of gifts!” The elder was beyond pleased by what heard.
Then asked, “What’s Catina’s current strength? She must be close to reaching the celestial realm, right?”
The elder seemed somewhat impatient, wishing for Jared and Catina to have a child immediately.
“It won’t be long now. I estimate should be able to come over next time the heaven and earth laws guide people in.” Jared said.
“Fantastic!” The elder was incredibly thrilled.
Observing the elderly man’s excitement, Jared felt bad for deceiving him, but not too bad because it was a white lie. Jared and Catina did have a relationship, after all!
“Father, how did you discover that we’re humans?” Jared asked with great curiosity.
“I first noticed it when you were on the stage. Your bloodline aura was just too familiar to me. The person beside you may have been using a cloaking charm, but we fox demons are extremely sensitive to auras, so I was able to detect it.” The elder followed up with an explanation to Jared.
“Father, you’ve been in Rhino City for centuries now. Can you tell me how to acquire cultivation resources within the city?”
“The resources I brought from Ethereal Realm are nearly depleted. If I rely solely on the celestial energy present in the celestial realm for cultivation, my progress would be slow…”
Jared wanted to know how to acquire resources. He was confident that, given the resources and Pentacarna Tower’s bizarre time conversion, would quickly be able to break through to the Immortal Realm.
“Truth be told, apart from celestial energy, resources in level one of the celestial realm are quite scarce. That’s why the three races are constantly at odds, frequently waging wars. All the conflicts are spurred by the struggle for resources. It isn’t just a grand war among the three races. Even within the same races, two cities would wage war against each other, attempting to absorb each other’s resources…”
“If you’re looking to find resources to cultivate, you might want to consider serving the city lord as an official. That way, you can gain access to a considerable amount of resources. The city lord’s mansion has scheduled expeditions to the underworld to plunder resources…”
“Or perhaps you could try boxing on the black market. In this beast race city, everyone is competitive and loves to fight. Boxing is a favorite pastime here. The match you participated in earlier was an officially sanctioned arena. In Rhino City, there is also an underground arena where physical strength and endurance are put to the test, just like anywhere else…”
“However, the unique thing about the fights in the black market is that you can place bets. If you win, you can earn a fortune, which could then be used to purchase all kinds of resources,” the old man explained thoroughly because Jared was his son-in-law.
Upon hearing the elder’s words, Jared felt wasn’t strong enough to become an official In the city lord’s mansion yet, so thought could give underground boxing a shot.
“Father, it’s already late now. Why don’t you stay here for the night? Tomorrow, you can take me to the black market for a look.”
“All right, with your skills and that impressive physical body, winning a few matches should be no problem for you!” The elder nodded.
Jared led the elder into Pentacarna Tower.
Time flowed faster within those walls. A single night of cultivation there was equivalent to ten nights in the outside world.
As the elder looked at Pentacarna Tower and listened to Jared describe its abilities, was surprised and delighted.
“My dear son-in-law is truly skilled…” The elder’s fondness for Jared was growing overtime!
