Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 7: Mysterious Sacrifice from Descendants

The Li family returned to its former tranquility following that night of bloodshed. Li Wei, unable to witness the internal shift in the hearts of his descendants after they had avenged themselves, accelerated the flow of time once more. The development of the Li family continued unabated.

Their stone dwellings grew increasingly sophisticated. Due to the previous theft attempts, the original wooden fencing was gradually replaced by stacked stones, forming a sprawling courtyard. A dedicated training ground for martial arts was even established. Li Wei was most astonished when Li Dalong, returning from a hunt in Yin Tielin, transported flat stones to construct a small hall in the most prominent area of the yard. This structure served as an ancestral hall, housing memorial tablets and burning everlasting incense.

[Li Dalong and his descendants built an ancestral hall specifically for you, incense +20!]

"Such filial children," Li Wei remarked, stroking his chin with satisfaction. He then paused, feeling a bit bewildered. It felt rather peculiar to have his descendants build an ancestral hall for him while he was still very much alive.

As Li Wei waited with patience, the game interface finally signaled the arrival of the decennial festival!

Li Dalong, accompanied by his wife, three children, and the Iron Forest Horse, approached the stone temple to light incense and begin their worship.

"Unfilial descendants pay their respects to the ancestor. We thank our ancestor for the blessings of the past decade, which have allowed our family to flourish," Li Dalong proclaimed.

After kowtowing repeatedly, Li Dalong turned to his eldest son, Li Yaozu. "Yaozu, quickly place the gold and silver I prepared into the copper stove as a sacrifice to the ancestor."

[You received a sacrifice: ten pounds of silver and one pound of gold]

[Do you want to take it out?]

Sitting before his computer, Li Wei rolled his eyes. In his current era, gold and silver were no longer considered precious. Even diamonds were ignored if left on the street. The hood of Li Wei's sports car was crafted from solid gold, and his villa's bathroom was encrusted with diamonds.

He selected 'no'.

Li Dalong looked at the ancestral tablet in confusion. "Huh? Our ancestor didn't send that warm gift back this time!"

"Could it be that the ancestor has no interest in gold and silver?" Xu Cuihua suggested.

"Yes, that must be it!" Li Dalong nodded fervently. "The ancestor is so powerful that these mundane items surely cannot catch his eye. Yaozu, go to the warehouse and find something truly valuable. we must satisfy the ancestor!"

"Huh?" Li Wei shrugged as he watched the frantic activity of his descendants on the screen.

In truth, he didn't desire any gifts at the moment. The Li family was only just beginning; what could they possibly possess of real value? On the contrary, he had prepared his own gifts as an investment in their growth. Only when the Li family became truly powerful would they be able to offer something that might actually interest him.

Before long, Li Yaozu returned, carrying a variety of items to place before the temple.

[You get the sacrifice: the tendons of the Wild Boar King, two pounds of black rock ore...]

[Do you want to take it out?]

The list contained many strange objects. Though he didn't want them, his descendants clearly felt they were necessary. As Li Wei scanned through the offerings, his eyebrows rose slightly.

"Wait, what's this?" One particular item caught his attention. It was a long spear covered in rust. He recalled seeing Li Dalong using this very spear for training when the screen had panned earlier.

[Mysterious Iron Spear (under seal)]

The game log even detailed the weapon's history. Li Dalong had discovered it among a pile of human remains in the Wild Boar King's cave during a hunt in the forest!

"A sealed weapon?" Li Wei's expression turned serious. In the world of Cultivation, any object worthy of a seal usually possessed an extraordinary—and potentially dangerous—origin. It was evident that Li Dalong, with his limited Cultivation, had no idea how precious this iron spear actually was.

"Take out the spear!" Li Wei commanded without a second thought. Even he felt a surge of curiosity regarding this find.

[You choose to take out the sacrifice offered by your descendants - the mysterious iron Spear!]

Instantly, the rusted long spear manifested in front of the incense burner on his computer desk. The sharp scent of oxidation reached Li Wei's nose!

Simultaneously, Li Wei found himself drawn to the faint engravings on the shaft. It was a pattern composed of mysterious characters. He quickly realized that with his current level of knowledge, he was unable to decipher them.

Setting the spear aside for the moment, Li Wei picked up a brocade box and placed it before the copper stove.

[You have given your descendants - 36 pills of various types.]

[Send it or not?]
