Ryan didn't know how Jin Rou knew their matriarch since it had been a long time when she appeared in the public or what was his connection with her. Of course, he didn't dare to ask as it wasn't his matter at all.

"Is there a problem in your clan?" Jin Rou asked. Han Li had a connection with Ryan's clan so if they need some help, he wouldn't mind lending a hand.

"Aside from the matriarch nearing her end of lifespan, there is no more major issue." Ryan answered truthfully. It was useless hiding or lying information on Jin Rou.

Jin Rou nodded. The matriach had lived for too long now and it's normal that she's nearing the end of her lifespan, "But the Eternity Gold is already in your hands. You just have to ask a capable of alchemist to concoct one Immortal Flower for the matriach and she's going to live longer."

The Immortal Flower was actually not a flower itself. It's just like in the appearance of a flower inside of a small bottle when concocted. Only top alchemists would be able to create this thus Ryan should pick the alchemist carefully.

The flower had a raging vigor and vitality inside. Thus, when consumed, the receiver would obtain additional vitality and vigor. Meaning, it's almost the state during youth.

With the Eternity Gold in Ryan's hands, the matriarch would surely live. However, Jin Rou had to still say something, "But on the other hand, ask her first if she wants to prolong her life."

"What do you mean, Young Master?" Ryan was confused.

"Metelosa has lived for countless of years now. She has seen many lives being created and passing away. It's tiresome and lonely." Jin Rou said with a deep tone, "If she's tired, let her die a natural death."

It was the truth. Living for so long was too tiring. Even Han Li himself felt that way. Planning for trillions of years to defeat the Heavens only to end up in defeat eight times, although it wasn't a pleasant result, he was deeply satisfied. After all, he had done everything in his power.

Schemes and power struggles were too tiresome. Because of that, Han Li had no regrets nor qualms about dying during the Eighth Challenge. Let it be up for the future generations of the Nine Heavens, he said.

"But I don't think it's possible..." Ryan shook his head, "Our clan has many enemies side to side, waiting for a weakness to show. If the matriach dies, we will end up being a food to those wolves."

"That is because your clan solely relies to Metelosa. Without her, your ancestors and the offsprings are just a bunch of jumping clowns." Jin Rou smirked, "She has aged now and weakened. Instead of you all protecting her, it's still the other way around. Tell me, is your clan, including you, have any shame?"

Ryan was speechless when he heard this. It was harsh and brutal words, but everything was on point. Jin Rou was right. The matriach was too old now to protect its offsprings. It shouldn't be that way, as it should be them who would protect her!

Matriach Metelosa had done so much for the clan up until now and no one would ever dare to discredit it.

Jin Rou shook his head. Metelosa had loved her clan too much that they were already spoiled. Now that she was nearing the end of her lifespan and found a way to prolong it, judging by the personality of her, she wouldn't mind living longer to protect them.

"I must talk to her later after my matter here." Jin Rou muttered to himself.

Ryan heard this but didn't think too much of it. It wasn't his business anyway. He was contemplating the words of Jin Rou and how could he be of help to his clan.

Jin Rou could read his expression and said, "If you want to help your clan, stop running away to be a scholar and be a proper cultivator. Don't put your talent to waste. Many will be cursing you if that's the case."

With his immense talent, Jin Rou was sure that Ryan would be a high-rank Dao Monarch or a top slayer-level Imperial Lord. There was no doubt about it. As long as Ryan put intense effort to it, everything would be well.

Ryan understood this and nodded. Indeed, it was high time to think about his clan and how could it prosper. Right now, he was the most talented of all offsprings in the clan. His grandfather had a high expectations for him.

After they finished their meal, the two were directed to two different deluxe luxurious rooms.

An hour passed, Mayor Roasal came back and went to Jin Rou's room.

"It seems you bear good news. Good job." Jin Rou could tell from the face of the mayor.

"Young Master, indeed. I just came back from Farm Hut and I was granted to give you a permission enter it. I have already made preparations for you to enter it, so you can enter it anytime." Mayor Roasal said, beaming with smile. The Farm Hut was a mysterious place for even him. No one was ever allowed to enter there. As a matter of fact, he could only ask for their permission a while ago outside of the Farm Hut's territory.

Luckily, he got the permission or else it'd be awry.

Jin Rou smiled. Truth be told, he could just directly go there and settle the matter immediately without stressing the mayor out. However, it'd be too boring. He stood up from his bed and said, "I'll be going now."

"Let me come with you." Mayor Roasal said.

"No, just stay here and eat some refreshments. Judging by how you are sweating right now, you must be tired. So take a rest." Jin Rou tapped the mayor's shoulder and walked past him, "If things go well, do expect a reward."

When the mayor heard this, he was stupefied and couldn't react in time. By then, he just snapped out of it when Jin Rou left the room and the inn. He was extremely thrilled.

What might his reward for this when things go well?
