Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Tan Shaoting was gratified, "Alright, let's begin. Who wants to go first?"

"Big brother, second brother, this time I'll go first."

Both of the little brothers hesitated a bit, but still nodded.

After Tan Shaoting learned that the three children had such excellent Spirit Roots, he decided to perform the Washing Marrow and Cutting Tendons right there in the space.

He also had Spiritual Spring Water, so he had all the materials needed for the procedure.

The three children watched their father throw herbs into the tub one by one, feeling a bit nervous.

In no time, the potion was ready.

"Qi Wen, you can undress and get in. Although it will hurt, Daddy hopes you can endure it.

If you really can't take it, Daddy will take you out."

Qi Wen nodded, undressed herself, and reached out towards Tan Shaoting.

After putting his daughter in, Tan Shaoting kept a close watch. This was the Bone Marrow Cleansing Soup his master had prepared for him and his junior sister before. Its effects were truly extraordinary.

Ever since Qi Wen sat in, her expression began to change.

In truth, Tan Shaoting was worried. The children were just over three years old, and it was actually a bit early for this.

The Bone Marrow Cleansing Soup required an hour to work, which is two hours.

Tan Shaoting had the two boys sit aside and wait, while he stood by the tub vigilantly.

He had done it before, so he knew it would get more painful towards the end.

But Qi Wen's face just grew paler and she didn't cry out in pain, still persevering.

Two hours passed. Tan Shaoting immediately picked up his daughter and placed her in a large basin nearby.

"Qi Wen, answer Daddy."

"Daddy, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt now."

"Daddy's good girl, you're so brave."

The little girl smiled, but her face was still colorless.

The two brothers immediately gathered around. "Qi Wen, are you still in pain?"

"Brother, it's still a little painful, but it will stop hurting soon."

Tan Shaoting quickly gave his daughter a cup of Spiritual Spring Water to drink.

"I'm going to prepare now, you two can decide who wants to go first."

"Big brother, I'll go first."

"Alright, you go ahead."

Qi Hong gritted his teeth and persevered through it. He also washed up and lay down beside his sister, falling asleep in no time.

Now only Qi Yan was left. His younger siblings managed to endure, so he felt confident in himself.

Tan Shaoting tidied up, feeling very gratified watching the children sleep soundly side by side. "Yuanyuan, look at how strong our children are. You must wait for us to return to find you."

The next day, he dressed all three children and felt they looked quite presentable.

"Daddy is taking you to the marketplace. It's just like the big fairs you've been to.

But here, many fine things are buried; it's up to you whether you can discover them.

The three of you must trust your instincts. If you think something is good, you can buy it."

While having breakfast, Tan Shaoting taught the three children some knowledge.

"This time we're mainly going to buy some books, so Daddy can teach you to read. Once you know how to read, you can start Cultivation."

All three children nodded, looking adorable and well-behaved.

Father and children left the courtyard, Tan Shaoting holding Qi Wen's and Qi Hong's hands, and Qi Yan holding Qi Wen's hand.

He taught the children along the way about each store and what it was for.

Qi Hong asked in a low voice, "Daddy, these houses are so nice."

"Yes, and there are even better ones."

Although Tan Shaoting was eager to Cultivate, he knew he needed to settle the children first, or he couldn't do anything else.

So he took the children for a leisurely walk, also to teach them along the way.

In the marketplace, it was very rare to see children, so many people noticed father and his three children.

The children learned a lot along the way. Even if there were things they didn't understand, they didn't ask directly but planned to ask Daddy later.

Tan Shaoting took the children to Duobao Pavilion. There you could still see some things, but the really good ones were hidden.

"Here, you can buy what you need or sell what you have. The Spiritual Medicine Daddy picked was sold here."

"Daddy, can you buy anything here?"

The shopkeeper remembered Tan Shaoting and watched as he introduced the place to the children.

When he heard Qi Hong's question, the shopkeeper laughed. "As long as you can think of it, we have it here."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

The shopkeeper was even happier hearing this, finding the three children very endearing.

It was rare for Cultivators to have children, not that it never happened, but it was difficult to conceive, and female cultivators usually didn't want to as it significantly affects Cultivation.

In this workshop, there really weren't many Cultivators with children.

Tan Shaoting introduced the children to talismans, elixirs, arrays, and weapons.

The boys were very fond of the swords, staring at them unblinkingly.

Qi Wen didn't particularly like anything, but she pointed at a small boat, only palm-sized and very exquisite.

Seeing his daughter's interest, Tan Shaoting explained that it was a Flying Artifact that can enlarge and fly in the sky.

"Daddy, let's buy this boat and bring it back for my mom, so they won't refuse her on a boat again."

The children still remembered this, indicating it might be a source of pain for them.

"Alright, we'll buy it." They indeed needed a Flying Artifact, as they weren't yet in Foundation Establishment and couldn't fly with a magic tool. Besides, he would take the children around the nearby areas in the future, and such a trip wasn't easy. They should take advantage of the opportunity to experience the Cultivation World, even if they were small, they would remember something.

"Shopkeeper, how many Spirit Stones does this spaceship cost?"

"Haha, since this young lady likes it and called me Grandpa, I'll give you my best price: 1,800 Spirit Stones, though it's listed at 2,500."

Tan Shaoting didn't waste words, counting out 1,800 Spirit Stones.

He also got several talismans, with the most being Godspeed Talismans.

He looked at his two sons, "When someday you can Cultivate, Daddy will give each of you one."

This made the two little ones grin broadly. That's how boys are, no matter what era.

Tan Shaoting chuckled and led the three of them away.

Leaving Duobao Pavilion, they headed toward the stalls. The place was bustling, as Cultivators living in such remote market areas weren't very wealthy.

"You must stay close to me, don't let go. If you see something you like, just call me," Tan Shaoting reminded them again because he was worried.

The four of them entered the crowd. The assortment of things was indeed even more lively than the big fairs the kids had been to.

Noticing the children's interest, he accompanied them, paying attention to their needs.

"Come and see, come and buy. These are treasures from the secret realm."
