Zhang Yuan's

Gifts

After the meeting with the patriarchs, Zhang Yuan began to close himself up again in his room to return to cultivating. Now Zhang Yuan was still at the realm of Soul Refining, if he did not quickly increase his strength. In the future he will have many difficulties.

Though in general he could already be categorized as one of the geniuses in the Empire. It was rare for a young man in his 20s to be in the realm of Soul Refining and become a family patriarch.

But that achievement still could not satisfy Zhang Yuan's goal. It was because he had even greater ambition. Now he still had to improve the cultivation and strength of his family members.

It did not feel like almost a month had passed and Zhang Yuan walked out of his room. He then headed towards the main hall, arriving there it turned out that the elders and Zhang Yuan's wives were discussing. When they heard footsteps, they looked.

“Tuanku” said Xiao Die.

Xiao Die and the other wives immediately headed towards Zhang Yuan's direction and hugged him. Zhang Yuan rubbed the heads of his wives and then sat down in the main seat.

“So what are you discussing?” ask Zhang Yuan.

“Of course elder Guan Ji's birthday gift from the lake Purple.” Elder Xia said.

Zhang Yuan fell silent, forgetting that he had received the elder's birthday banquet invitation letter. Fortunately, he soon came out of seclusion. Now Zhang Yuan began to think of what gifts were suitable for elder Guan Ji, given the resources in his family. Of course he doesn't lack that.

“Have you not thought of a gift for elder Guan Ji?” ask guard Liu.

“Several weeks we also feel confused to think about the gift.” Elder Xia said.

“Before that, tell me about Purple Lake” Zhang Yuan said.

“Purple Lake is the 3rd strongest family among the 5 noble families in the Empire. This family could be said to be the master of the ice sword rain art. Because most cultivators in this family used the water element as their basic technique. In this family there are 9 elders known as 9 Purple Lake swordsmen. This family has a hidden fog array formation that makes its residence difficult to find inside the fog.” Clearly elder Xia.

After hearing the explanation from elder Xia. Zhang Yuan came up with an idea for an endowment that could be given to elder Guan Ji as one of the swordsmen.

“I've found a suitable gift for elder Guan Ji. Elder Dai I order you to go to the forest within 5 days of the City to catch the Shark of the Sword of a level 3 spirit beast in a lake or river. Get it before Guan Ji's birthday arrives.”

After Zhang Yuan gave the order, elder Daisan immediately nodded, “Okay sir, I will make sure to return soon before that day arrives.”

Elder Daisan immediately resigned and went darting to carry out the orders from Zhang Yuan. The Sword Moncong Shark was a tier 3 spirit beast that lived in groups. Their strength could rival that of a peak Soul Refining cultivator.

Fortunately the Daisan elder was at the 3rd layer Spiritual realm. So he could of course catch the beast if he was careful. With his speed, it would likely only take 3-4 days to be able to return here on time.

Zhang Yuan then ordered the elders to look for other materials to prepare birthday gifts for elder Guan Ji. What Zhang Yuan would give as a present was still kept secret even when the wife asked was ignored.

Seconds change minutes, minutes change hours, hours change days. It didn't feel like a few days had passed to prepare the birthday present of elder Guan Ji. Everyone gathered in the main hall waiting for the return of the Daisan elder.

“Tomorrow was the birthday of elder Guan Ji but the old man never came. Where alone he is.” Elder Wumei said with worry.

“Quiet elder Wumei, it is possible that soon elder Dai will arrive.” Guard Liu.

Zhang Yuan remained relaxed in the main seat while being massaged by his wives. Actually Zhang Yuan had also prepared another gift just in case the Daisan elder was late.

As the day neared the night a gasping old man's voice was heard entering the hall. It was the Daisan elder who had come in a wound-filled state.

“Old man, why are you hurt?” ask elder Wumei.

“Chairman Daisan, why would I get hurt like that?” zhang Yuan asked with a hesitant face.

Elder Dai clenched both his hands and saluted.

“In the forest I have managed to catch the Sword Snout Shark, but soon there appeared hordes of other spirit beasts that were at level 3. Since all the roads were closed, I ended up trying to fight them all and opened a gap. But who would have thought it turned out that all the way home I was constantly attacked by spirit beasts.” Said the elder Daisan in a word.

“Hmm..?”

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment but he could not find the reason.

“This ring contains the Shark Moncong Sword lord” said elder Daisan.

He immediately handed the space ring to Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan immediately accepted it and he smiled.

“Good work Elder Dai you brought me 2 tails. This way I can confirm that the gift I will be giving is truly worthy of elder Guan Ji. Elder Wumei, bring himself to rest and immediately treat all his wounds.”

“Good mr”

“Wait, what egg is this?” Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes.

“That was an egg I found in a bush, it was probably a snake master's egg. But I don't know the details of what kind of snake it is.” Said elder Dai.

“Alright, pretty good. Maybe I can just hatch it and see what comes out. You can go.”  Zhang Yuan waved his hand.

Elder Dai nodded and Wumei immediately hired elder Dai to take him to a private room.

Guard Liu looked a little confused and asked.

“Master Zhang, so what gift would you give that person?”

“Do you remember when I made Soul Dolls?” zhang Yuan said.

“Of course, I remember those horrors”

The feathers of guard Liu immediately goosebumps back for a moment considering everything that happened during the process of making the Soul Puppet. Then he fell silent and thought.

“Are you going to make a Soul Doll again?”

“Virtually similar but not, with this Sword Snout Shark. I plan on combining it with some other material to be suitable as a companion pet that will help strengthen the strength of elder Guan Ji. Indeed this was only a tier 3 spirit beast, but if he nurtured and trained it well. So in the future this beast will be of great benefit to elder Guan Ji. I'm sure he'll realize what my goal is.” Zhang Yuan was clear to everyone.

“Master is very wise” sahut guard Liu with admiration.

“Now I will go to the alchemy room to prepare this gift, all of you can leave now.” Zhang Yuan said.

Soon after that everyone left the main hall as ordered. Zhang Yuan also took his wives to the alchemy room to accompany him as well as show them what Zhang Yuan was going to do.
