Chapter 38: Fang Tiping!
"Let's burn incense!"
Fang Tian called and then took the lead. The others in the family followed the lead and respectfully burned incense.
The Fang family had a history of around a century as Fang Tian's great-great-grandfather broke out of his family and established a new family due to family fights. It didn't mean that they were some affluent family before breaking out. The Fang family in another city was only slightly better than them.
On the platform, there were pedestals with copper vessels carrying the ashes of the family member. There were only two vessels of the great-great-grandfather and great-great-grandmother on the top pedestal.
The couple had several children, so the second step had the vessels of those and their partners. The third layer only had a few containers since most of that generation was alive. The fourth layer belonged to Fang Tian's generation, and it only had one vessel. It was Fang Tian's eldest cousin, who died in his young years due to a cultivation accident. The fifth step wasn't formed since that generation was still children.
The family then kneeled and kowtowed three times, bringing an end to the ceremony.

Fang Tiping came to offer incense to his ancestors as he was going to kill himself. Seeing his cultivation slowly slip away day by day was a torture he could no longer bear, so he decided to end it all.
But since suicide was a terrible deed and those who did it wouldn't be allowed in the ancestor hall, he came to apologize for humiliating the ancestors.
After nodding to Fang Tian, he left the hall, but his eyes fell on Fang Yuan. For some reason, he could see himself in that boy, so he decided to do a good deed before leaving the world.
"Seventh brother, I need some alone time with nephew Yuan," Fang Tiping seriously called out as soon as the family walked out.
Fang Tian couldn't help but almost shake due to the sudden voice. But when he saw the owner of the voice, he raised his eyes in surprise.
It was the first time in the past several years that Fang Tiping had taken the initiative to talk to someone in the family. At the same time, he was curious about what the latter wanted to talk about with his son.
He then looked at his wife, who had the same expression. He then asked Fang Yuan to follow Fang Tiping while they waited for him at the nearby restaurant.
There were numerous restaurants on the street around the ancestor hall, as the flow of people was constant there. Since only the poor families had to rent a hall there, the restaurants were also cheap.
Fang Yuan nodded and followed his uncle, whom he was meeting for the first time. He was also curious about his uncle's purpose.
"When did you reach the fourth level of Qi refining?" Fang Tiping immediately asked once they reached far from the family.
"Just yesterday," Fang Yuan confusedly answered.
"Which sect did you join?"
"Third uncle, I have yet to take the entrance."
Fang Tiping raised his eyes in surprise as he thought that Fang Yuan was already in a sect. His detachment from the family was such that he didn't even know about his nephew's age.
"My Fang family finally has a talented cultivator!"
Fang Tiping stated with a smile, but the smile looked ugly, so Fang Yuan had no idea whether his uncle was happy or anything else.
'God is generous. He snatched my cultivation, and when I am about to kill myself, he gives an even more talented cultivator to the family.'
Fang Tiping thought in his heart. Even though he had been detached from the family, he still wished for its prosperity.
"Do you have any idea why I wanted to talk to you?"
Fang Yuan nodded and responded, "Third uncle, you want to pass your skills to me."
Fang Tiping frowned since he had no idea of that. The skills he practiced were ordinary, so why would he pass them on to someone more talented than him?
Fang Yuan's heart kept beating loudly when he said that, as he was only taking a gamble at that moment. But when he saw the frown on his uncle's face, he understood that the uncle had other ideas.
But then he heard his uncle's response, and his heart started beating loudly once again.
"If you want my skills, I can give them to you, but I wanted to talk to you for a different purpose."
Fang Yuan looked at his uncle with his eyes shining like stars.
"What are your spiritual roots? You must have tried to find their nascent condition."
"Uncle, my wood and earth element roots are the predominant roots."
"Sorry, you can't use my skills. I had dual water and metal element spiritual roots."
Fang Yuan was disappointed when he heard that. At the same time, he cursed his luck in his heart since his uncle also had dual predominant spiritual roots, but both were different than his roots.
"I have some wood and earth-related spells. I will courier it to you in one or two days."
"Now, let's talk about my purpose of calling you." Fang Tiping's tone turned solemn as he finally decided to state his purpose.
Fang Yuan also became serious upon seeing his uncle like that.
***
"What do you think your brother wants to talk with Yuan?" Chen Haoxi couldn't help but ask after Fang Yuan left with Fang Tiping.
Fang Yuan might not know, but she and her husband knew about the different spiritual roots, so they didn't think Fang Tiping wanted to hand over his small inheritance to their son.
"Don't worry about it!"
Fang Tian also had no idea, so he could only say that. His brother's personality had changed over the years, but he still had confidence that Fang Tiping wouldn't harm his son.
Chen Haoxi wanted to say something but was interrupted by her daughter, who excitedly pointed at the empty table in the restaurant.
