The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Charlie sighed. "Countless classics were lost in this kind of turmoil. Your ancestors knew what Phoenixica was, but very few people in the whole of Oskia and even in the world know what Phoenixica is now. Our current traditional culture and Oskian medication are all citing classics, but I don't know how many classics have long been buried in the long history..."noveldrama

As Charlie spoke of this, he suddenly remembered something and asked in surprise, “By the way, Lady Jenson, you said that there were two bracelets?"

"Yes!" The old lady said firmly, "The two bracelets are made out of Phoenixica and were originally a pair. They were the Jenson family's heirloom. After Master Marcius rescued my ancestor, he recognized that the bracelet was made out of Phoenixica, so he asked my ancestor if he would be willing to give him one of the bracelets. He would then accept my ancestor as his disciple in return. My ancestor was helpless back then, so he naturally agreed without hesitation. Master Marcius was a righteous man, and he only asked for one of the Phoenixica bracelets. He asked my ancestor to keep the other one well."

Charlie asked again, "Did your ancestor master Reiki under Master Marcius's guidance too?"

"No." The old lady shook her head and said emotionally, "It is said that it's hard to find one among millions of people who have the talent to master Reiki. Not to mention my ancestor, but even Master Marcius's wife and son did not have this talent either..."

Having said that, the old lady pointed at the picture of a child reading a book on the wall and introduced, "My ancestor didn't have that talent, so he worked as a servant boy by Master Marcius's side. In fact, he was more like Master Marcius's adopted son. Master Marcius raised him and taught him to read and paint. These three paintings were all made by my ancestor when he was old, and the last picture is a portrait of himself when he was old."

Charlie felt emotional when he heard this and could only sigh as he said, "It seems that Master Marcius is indeed a divine person. He not only possesses great supernatural powers, great knowledge, and the ability to paint, but he is also compassionate, which is really rare..."

"Yes." The old lady nodded slightly and then added, "My ancestor lived with Master Marcius for more than sixty years until 820 A.D.."

"Master Marcius was already nearly a hundred and sixty years old at the time, and my ancestor was also seventy-one years old. Master Marcius told my ancestor that if he couldn't achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation or if he couldn't refine the pill that he wanted to, he might not be able to live to two hundred years old. So, he decided to find a more suitable location to live in seclusion and focus on his cultivation."

"When they parted, Master Marcius left my ancestor with some money and a pill. He ordered my ancestor to live in the world and promised that he would definitely come back to increase my ancestor's lifespan when he found a way of longevity."

"Although my ancestor was reluctant to part with Master Marcius, he also knew that their fate was over. So, after they said goodbye, my ancestor entered the world and married a woman from Jerusarom, which is not too far away, in order to continue the family's lineage."

"Three years after his marriage, he brought his wife and children back here to settle down. He hoped to stay here and guard Master Marcius's wife and son's tombs and also to wait here until Master Marcius comes back. More than dozens of generations and over a thousand years passed during this time..."

Charlie was a little puzzled and said, "Your family's ancestor was already seventy years old when he parted with Master Marcius, but he was still able to go down the mountain to get married and even continue the family's lineage. This is really unbelievable under the circumstances back then. Was it because of the pill that Master Marcius gifted to your ancestor before he left?"

"That's right." The old lady sighed. "Master Marcius gave my ancestor a total of two pills. He gave the first pill to my ancestor when he was fifty years old, and he gave him the second pill when they parted. According to my ancestor's legacy, these two pills are really the most precious treasures in the world. Simply taking one of these pills can make a person twenty years younger. So, when my ancestor entered the world and got married, although he was already seventy years old, he looked like he was only thirty years old.”

Charlie was shocked and blurted out, "Lady Jenson, was the pill given by Master Marcius called the Rejuvenating Pill?"
