Guan Yue couldn't help but sigh, but Dog Tooth quietly said to him, "I heard that in big cities, only the rich can cultivate. Poor people like us can't afford supplements."
Puppy Sheng was also staring wide-eyed at the disciple supplies, medicines, and supplements in the store, repeatedly murmuring, "So impressive, so impressive." Dog Tooth glared at his brother, "All you care about is how impressive it looks. Do you think martial arts training is something poor families like ours can do? Let's go."
Dog Tooth pulled Dog Shengzi away from those shops quickly.
Guan Yue curiously asked the siblings, "Can one really become a Little Ancestor Saint just by taking medicine?"
Dog Tooth nodded and said, "Exactly. If you have enough money, you can reach any realm just by taking medicine. Rich people rely on medicine to improve their realms so they won't be bullied by others."
Guan Yue felt an immense sadness but didn't speak; he just let out a long sigh. Reflecting on the hardships he had endured, it felt extremely ironic that in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, one could become a Little Ancestor Saint or a Great Deity simply by buying medicine with money.
Thus, Guan Yue walked into a larger disciple supplies store. He noticed many teenagers around his size crowded inside, carefully selecting disciple supplies.
Inside were various weapons, armor of all sizes, different magical tools, and plenty of medicines and materials used to enhance martial artist realms, as well as finished pills.
Guan Yue found that finished pills were the best sellers. Clearly marked were the prices for Miracle Pill, Eternal Realm Pill, Everlasting Pill, and Little Ancestor; a Miracle Pill cost only one or two Golden Red Sand! The Miracle Pill required ten taels of Golden Red Sand, the Everlasting Pill needed one hundred taels of Golden Red Sand, and the Little Ancestor required ten thousand taels of Golden Red Sand.
However, Guan Yue did not see any Great Dao Pills. It seemed that Great Dao Pills were too expensive to be sold in such places.
Soon after, Guan Yue exited the store where Puppy Sheng and his sister were waiting outside for him. His sister tightly held onto Dog Shengzi to prevent him from going in and getting obsessed because his biggest dream was to become a powerful disciple to deal with bullies and avenge their mother.
Guan Yue certainly wouldn't buy those pills, but he discovered many materials that would be helpful for him. During this trip to the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, based on the advice of the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, he brought along plenty of medicinal herbs; he just needed a few more materials to refine them into pills. Therefore, he urgently needed money.
Guan Yue even went to the Seafood Market to find out which fish were most profitable and what their market prices were.
After an afternoon of exploration, Guan Yue decided to accumulate some funds in Haiga Village. He had already seen that in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, money could accomplish anything. Here, money was everything!
It seemed that Puppy Sheng's mother had undergone surgery and was now much more conscious. After discussing with their mother, Dog Tooth decided to take her back to the village for recovery; otherwise, it would be too wasteful to spend money here.
As they were leaving, Dog Tooth took her brother to buy a lot of nutritional supplements to bring back for their mother.
Then the three of them carried their mother back to the village.
On the boat, two strong men noticed the nutritional supplements that Dog Tooth had bought for her mother. One of them openly said to Dog Tooth, "Hey, little girl, bring me the good stuff from that bag. I'm hungry."
Before Guan Yue could say anything, Dog Tooth placed a bag in front of the strong man and even opened it for him to take what he wanted.
Puppy Shengzi quietly said to Guan Yue, "These guys are bullies; they might be from our village."
Sure enough, the two strong men did not get off at any other village but continued on until they reached Haiga Village, where they disembarked with Guan Yue and the others.
As they were leaving, one of the strong men pinched Dog Tooth's cheek and leered, "This little girl is quite fresh; whose is she? Let me have a taste in a couple of days."
Dog Tooth ignored him and focused on helping Guan Yue lift their mother onto a stretcher.
The strong man looked at Dog Tooth's back and chuckled. The voices of the two men could be faintly heard:
"This little girl is pretty good-looking, nice face and chest; her figure isn't bad. I should go and take her for myself."
"This girl isn't small anymore; why not make her your tenth concubine? That way, you can claim an old mother-in-law in Haiga Village."
"That's a good idea. Now my number of concubines will almost catch up to yours, right? Haha."
"I'm not slacking off either; you better keep working hard."
Dog Tooth heard their taunts but showed no expression on her face. Puppy Shengzi's eyes turned red with anger. These bullies had already mistreated their mother; did they still want to bully his sister? He hated that he wasn't a Disciple and didn't have any martial skills.
He had wanted to go out to sea to fish and earn money, but the captain wouldn't allow it, leaving him anxious. The money their father earned was barely enough for daily living expenses, let alone for their mother's medical treatment. If it weren't for that older brother, who knew when their mother would be able to see a doctor?
So thirteen-year-old Dog Shengzi felt like fire was burning in his heart; he was just too small and had no good way to change his fate, forced to watch as his family was bullied by these thugs.
Guan Yue had already realized that these two villains were merely at the Minor Ancestor Saint Peak Realm, and he could easily handle them. Therefore, he did not take them seriously.
As soon as he returned home, he called Puppy Shengzi to go fishing by the sea. Now he knew which fish were the most profitable to catch. Puppy Sheng thought that only by relying on the fish caught by his older brother could he afford to buy Cultivator Pill, so he actively cooperated with Guan Yue in fishing. Of course, Dog Shengzi only fished in shallow waters and hardly caught any valuable fish all day.
While cultivating, Guan Yue searched for big and valuable fish underwater. There were plenty of fish, but what to do when he couldn't hold them all?
Suddenly, Guan Yue had a flash of inspiration and scolded himself for being foolish.
Did he not have the Sky Peak Tower? Why was he not using it?
Thus, Guan Yue specifically opened up an area in the Sky Peak Tower, filled it with seawater to create a small sea surface, and then began to frantically catch fish—valuable fish and big fish.
For three consecutive days, he caught at least several tons of fish.
However, each day he only brought back a small portion, which left Dog Shengzi feeling somewhat disappointed.
On the fourth day, as soon as they returned home, they sensed something was wrong. Their mother had been forcibly dragged out by someone, covered in blood, and her clothes were completely torn. Their sister Dog Tooth also had bruises on her face, and her clothes were in tatters.
It turned out that the two had encountered bullies on the boat who came looking for trouble with Guan Yue after hearing slander from Great-Grandfather. Coincidentally, they ran into Dog Tooth. The two men were filled with lustful intentions and attempted to assault Dog Tooth. Their mother had just regained some consciousness and vehemently refused, while Dog Tooth fought back desperately. However, the two strong men ended up beating both Dog Tooth and her mother until they spat blood.
Great-Grandfather, fearing for their lives, managed to persuade the two strong men to leave. He assured them that once Dog Tooth's father returned, he would definitely agree to hand her over to them. Only then did the two men relent.
However, before leaving, they dragged her mother out again to bully her, leaving her barely clothed and bleeding from seven orifices.
Seeing the tragic state of their mother and sister filled Puppy Shengzi with rage; his eyes turned red with anger, but he felt powerless to do anything.
Perhaps he only had one option left: to confront the bullies head-on.
That night, Guan Yue and Dog Shengzi slept on a flat piece of ground under the open sky. He noticed that Puppy Sheng was trembling with anger and hadn’t spoken a word; his eyes were filled with fury and determination. Guan Yue knew that the seed of hatred had already taken root in Dog Shengzi's heart. He thought about helping him but realized that if he consumed a Cultivator Pill, he would be reliant on pills from then on; it would be nearly impossible to improve his cultivation through practice alone.
So, Guan Yue wanted to hear what Dog Shengzi himself thought.
Guan Yue tentatively explained to Dog Shengzi the pros and cons of using pills to enhance one's cultivation versus training through practice. Without a second thought, Dog Shengzi replied, "I just want to kill those bullies. I need to avenge my mother and sister right away. Big brother, let's catch more fish so we can sell them for a lot of money and get the Cultivator Pill. Please help me."
Guan Yue said seriously to Dog Shengzi, "I can find a way to get you a Minor Ancestor Realm pill, but you must understand that this is the path you choose for yourself. Don't blame me in the future."
"I won't be ungrateful. How could I blame you? As long as you help me get a Little Ancestor pill, I will definitely be able to take my revenge. Thank you in advance, big brother." Puppy Sheng immediately perked up from his sorrow, looking at Guan Yue with deep affection, his small eyes filled with anticipation.
He felt both nervous and excited, with a hint of disbelief. This expression was something others couldn't comprehend.
Guan Yue promised Dog Shengzi that he would return within a month to give him the Little Ancestor pill, allowing him to seek revenge himself.
Dog Shengzi nodded repeatedly, afraid that Guan Yue might not trust him.
After making the agreement with Dog Shengzi, Guan Yue vanished in an instant, leaving Dog Shengzi excited for quite some time: "So it turns out big brother is also a master."
That night, Guan Yue traveled back to the small city he had visited before. His purpose was to understand just how powerful the Great Deity of the Dragon Domain Heaven Domain truly was. Upon arriving at the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, Guan Yue realized that the Great Deity here was hardly anything significant. He needed to figure out what realms existed above the Great Deity and how those realms were cultivated. This was what Guan Yue urgently needed to know.
Of course, Guan Yue also wanted to help Dog Shengzi, so he aimed to obtain a Little Ancestor pill for him as well.
In the evening, while no one was paying attention, Guan Yue placed all the fish he had caught into a fishmonger's tank. As soon as dawn broke, he immediately negotiated prices with the fishmonger. Since he had already inquired about prices during his last visit, he managed to sell them for much more than he would have in the village.
Because Guan Yue's catch consisted of deep-sea fish that were rare and plentiful, the fishmonger was very pleased and paid him three hundred taels of Golden Red Sand. The fishmonger kept telling Guan Yue that he should definitely trade with him next time he had fish and assured him that he would not be treated poorly.
