Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats

"What? Special Elder of the Ancestral Family Garden?"

Although Ethan was expecting some kind of reward from the Lin Family for his successful harvesting of a Perfect Quality Clearheart Lotus, he was not expecting the reward to be even greater than he imagined.

After staying in the Lin Family for weeks, how could Ethan not know about the Ancestral Family Garden?

The Lin Family's Ancestral Family Garden was a heritage of the Lin Family that was filled with all kinds of rare and high-ranked Spirit Plants and was protected by a Rank 5 Formation along with other Rank 5 Formations to replenish the Spirit Essence and ensure better growth of the Spirit Plants inside.

Although he didn't have much information, Ethan was sure that there were at least a couple of Rank 5 Spirit Plants, dozens of Rank 4 Spirit Plants, and hundreds of Rank 3 Spirit Plants.

As for the Rank 1 and Rank 2 Spirit Plants, there were none in the garden because they were not worth nurturing in the garden filled with rich spirit essence.

"The Special Elder of the Ancestral Garden is responsible for nurturing and overseeing all Rank 3 Spirit Plants. It's a position of great honor, but also one of great responsibility."

"Other than you, there is another Special Elder who is currently in charge of the Rank 4 Spirit Plants, and the Rank 5 Spirit Plants are taken care of by the Grand Elder, who is also the only Golden Core Realm Cultivator of the family."

Since Ethan had become a permanent elder with the approval of all the Elders, Merrick started sharing more information about the Family's Ancestral Garden.

"When should I enter the Family's Ancestral Garden and take on my duties, Uncle Merrick?"

Since he had the opportunity to enter the Family's Ancestral Garden to nurture the Rank 3 Spirit Plants, Ethan was excited and wanted to start his duty as soon as possible.

"There are a few days left for the last batch of Rank 3 Spirit Plants to be harvested, and since you also need to prepare for the [Beast Extermination Trial], your duties will start after the event."

Merrick replied and added, "So, for now, just focus on the [Beast Extermination Trial] because with a good ranking, the Greenfire Sect might give our Lin Family some rare Rank 3 and above Spirit Seeds."

"T-this…"

Ethan wanted to enter the Ancestral Family Garden as soon as possible and plant a bunch of Rank 3 Spirit Plants so that he could harvest Life Points a bit sooner.

However, since there were already some Rank 3 Spirit Plants that were close to maturity, Ethan could only suppress his urge.

"Uncle Merrick, I have a request."

Ethan didn't wait for Merrick to respond as he spoke about his request, "I want to plant the next batch of the Rank 3 Spirit Plants before the event."

"This…."

"It will only take a couple of hours, and I will give my best in the trial. Please."

As Merrick was about to speak, Ethan pleaded even more.

"Fine."

In the end, Merrick accepted it since it was not a bad thing to plant the Rank 3 Spirit Plants a few days earlier than planned.

"Thank you, Uncle Merrick."

Ethan hurriedly thanked him, and at the same time, he took out a jade box and gave it to Merrick, "This is a small gift I have prepared for you, Uncle Merrick."

"A gift? For me?"

Merrick was surprised as he looked at his daughter and said in a low voice, "Someone needs to learn it."

"Father, what did you say?"

The gentle look on Selena's face disappeared as she glared at her father.

"I..I said nothing. You remind me of your mother a lot."

Merrick hurriedly changed the topic, "I wonder what Kai has gifted me."

He opened the jade box and saw a pill inside; however, Merrick was unable to identify it.

"Kai, I am unable to tell what pill it is. Can you tell me about it?"

Merrick asked about it without any hesitation.

"It is a Minor Foundation Pill. A pill that can easily promote a Perfected Qi Refining Cultivator to a Foundation Establishment Realm."

Ethan didn't leave Merrick in suspense and told him the name and the effects of the pill.

"What? This is a Minor Foundation Pill?"

Not only Merrick, even Selena, who was standing beside him, was shocked by Ethan's reply.

Soon, Selena became excited and happy for her father.

Like Ethan, Selena was also concerned about her father, who could not live past 100 years, and even with lifespan-extending resources, he wouldn't live past 200 years.

So, she was always keeping an eye out for the treasures that could improve the spirit root of a cultivator and even for the Minor Foundation Pill.

Even Selena, as an Inner Disciple of the Greenfire Sect, didn't have a way to get a Minor Foundation Pill.

Ethan smiled as he saw the astonishment on their faces. He understood their reaction — after all, the Minor Foundation Pill was not something that could be easily obtained, even by those with status.

'I should thank my first killer, Shadow Ryu.'

Ethan didn't forget his first assassin, from whom he got the Hidden Foundation Pill.

"I knew Uncle Merrick had a low-level Spirit Root and had already lost hope of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. So, I prepared this Minor Foundation Pill for him."

Merrick's hands trembled, hearing Ethan's words as he reached for the jade box.

"Ethan… This is too precious. I—"

His voice was hoarse with disbelief; however, he could not finish his words.

"Uncle Merrick, there's no need for formalities. This pill is useless to me or anyone who has a good Spirit Root, but it is a perfect treasure for you to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and greatly increase your lifespan."

Ethan shook his head with a reassuring smile as he mentioned the only disadvantage of the pill, "However, once you use it to become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, your cultivation will forever be stuck at Level 1 Foundation Establishment Realm."

"I know about it; however, I will be satisfied with a Level 1 Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation."

Merrick shook his head and informed Ethan that he didn't care about the limitations.

"Even among the Inner Disciples of the Greenfire Sect, this pill is something we can't get. And yet, you're giving it away so freely?"

Selena took a deep breath, her eyes turning serious as she asked what Ethan wanted in return.

"It's not about giving it away. It's about helping those who matter to me."

Ethan chuckled and muttered to himself, 'And triggering the [Heaven's Virtue] to earn some Life Points.'

That's right! After thinking about doing good deeds to create an impact, Ethan had thought about the Minor Foundation Pill that was lying in his storage ring and then about Uncle Merrick, who was stuck at the Perfected Qi Refining Realm for years.

Hence, he decided to give away the Minor Foundation Pill to Merrick not only to repay Merrick's help but also to trigger the [Heaven's Virtue].

"Thank you, Kai, thank you very much."

Merrick clenched the jade box tightly, his heart surging with emotions.

He had spent decades resigning himself to his limitations, but now… for the first time in years, hope flickered in his heart.
