"Heh heh, it may be because of the special nature of the cultivation method I practice. Alcohol has never gotten me drunk, so giving me wine would be no different from wasting it. To me, it's practically the same as drinking water." Seeing the confusion on their faces, Wei Zhao smiled and explained.
"So that's how it is..." Tang Zhi and the others finally understood.
Wei Zhao drank water, but everyone still had a wonderful time. Grandpa Wei in particular gazed at Wei Zhao, Tang Zhi, Gu Mengyao, and Shen Yushu with a broad, tipsy smile. Taking advantage of the drink, he said, "Xiaoyi, you really are something. Ergoudan brought home one wife, but you brought back three. I even had a little trouble coming up with enough meeting gifts, so I didn't dare take them out..."
"There's no need, Grandpa Lin. Wei Zhao has already told us about you. He said you donated all your money to children who had been forced to drop out of school. We don't need any meeting gifts..." Tang Zhi hurriedly cut in.
"Exactly. We're all family, so there's no need to stand on ceremony," Shen Yushu added.
"Pfft!" Wei Zhao, Grandpa Lin, and Ergoudan all burst out laughing at once. Shen Yushu truly did not regard herself as an outsider in the slightest!
After three rounds of drinks, Grandpa Lin had sobered up somewhat. He said, "Xiaoyi, I heard you want to find a suitable cultivation method for Yun Yun and the others, so they can become cultivators?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean." Wei Zhao nodded. "Xiaoxiao became a cultivator, and now they want to cultivate as well..."
"I see..." Grandpa Lin pondered for a moment before saying, "Everyone's constitution is different, and the cultivation methods and formulas suited to them vary as well. The method you cultivate, for instance, would have no effect on me whatsoever. Ergoudan and I are both unranked experts of the external school. Although we supplement that with internal cultivation methods, those methods are merely auxiliary. We have not yet reached the Heaven Stage, so we cannot suppress the conditions within our bodies. In other words, our circumstances are not suitable for them either..."
"Exactly. That's what makes this so difficult. My master has already left. Otherwise, I should be able to get some useful information from him. After all, he knows far more than we do." Wei Zhao sighed. "Do you have any other way?"
"I do... I can try contacting someone and asking him about it. Perhaps he has a solution, though perhaps he doesn't." Grandpa Lin said, "As far as I know, the cultivation method you practice is the most powerful one among those possessed by people like us. The others are mainly auxiliary methods for strengthening the body, such as the ones Ergoudan, your master, and I practice. Although we cultivate both internally and externally, and our external cultivation has reached a certain height, it has no established rank. As for internal cultivation, we have not achieved much there either..."
A flicker of surprise passed through Wei Zhao's eyes at Grandpa Lin's words. It seemed the old man had connections Wei Zhao knew nothing about.
"Then I'll leave this matter in your hands, old man. Keep an eye on it for me." Wei Zhao did not stand on ceremony with Grandpa Lin. "By the way, have you and Ergoudan still not found a solution? Is there really no way to take that spring water away from West Star Mountain Village?"
"After all these years, we've gotten nowhere. I've nearly given up." Grandpa Lin chuckled.
