The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

The old lady looked at the old man in the portrait and murmured, "Master Marcius's name is Marcius Stark, and he's a native of Coleham. He later began cultivating longevity and called himself Longevity Master. Master Marcius is the honorific name the Jenson family use to address him."

"Marcius Stark..." Charlie muttered. He had not heard of this name, but he was not very surprised either.

The painting itself seemed to be very old, and the old lady's family had been passed down for sixteen hundred years. It was not surprising that the person in this painting was someone from ancient times.

The old lady then spoke up again, "Master Marcius was a scholar in high school, and he was an official in court, but later, he resigned from his position as an official because he got the opportunity to cultivate by chance. He then came here with his wife and son to concentrate on cultivation, but his wife and son passed away one after the other soon after arriving from an infection due to the wind and cold, leaving him here alone to continue his cultivation."

"Master Marcius cultivated here for several decades before he temporarily left this place in 755 A.D. and went down the mountains to travel."

When Charlie heard this, he said with slight surprise, "Master Marcius would have already been in his nineties in 755 A.D., right?"

"Yes." The old lady replied, "But according to my ancestors' memory when he met Master Marcius in 756 A.D., Master Marcius looked exactly like how he looks in this painting. He did not look like an old man who was nearly a hundred years old."

Charlie looked at the painting again and could not help but feel amazed.

The old man in the painting had a robust spirit although he was skinny. The life expectancy during that era was only fifty years old, and an old man in his fifties should look even older than an old man in his seventies or eighties now.noveldrama

Therefore, in the context of the era back then, the man in the painting who looked as if he was in his forties was comparable to an old man in his sixties now.

However, the other party still looked like that when he was in his nineties, which proved that the other party had definitely mastered Reiki!

Otherwise, even if he obtained one or two Rejuvenating Pills by accident, it would be difficult for him to live to such a great age with the combination of background and average life expectancy during that era.

Charlie remembered the old lady's previous self-introduction and asked her, "Lady Jenson, when we met in Mexico, you said that your ancestors practiced medicine for generations, and this skill was only lost during the war. Did this happen when your ancestors met Master Marcius?"

"Yes." The old lady nodded and said, "The war was at its worst in 756 A.D., and my family's ancestor originally lived in Coleham. Both his father and grandfather were doctors, and they escaped and traveled all the way south during the war, but they encountered rebels in this vicinity. The rebels killed all my ancestor's relatives. Master Marcius was the one who saved my ancestor from being killed by the rebels at the critical moment. My ancestor had just turned six at the time."

Charlie suddenly came to a realization. "That's why your ancestor survived but lost all access to the ancestral medical skills, right?"

"Yes." The old lady nodded slightly and added, "All the medical books passed down by the ancestors back then were in the accompanying luggage. It is said that there were at least three to five boxes. My ancestor's father saw Master Marcius coming all the way at the critical moment, so he passed our family's genealogy and two Phoenixica bracelets to my ancestor before using kerosene to burn all the medical books. That's how the Jenson family's medical skills were lost..."
