NovelBookLate at night, at the foot of Mount Golmin, Jeffrey was wrapped in a thick jacket made out of deerskin, dragging his elderly father, Jordan, behind him as they walked out of the mountain, s The temperature at Mount Golmin had dropped drastically recently, with its temperature reaching the lowest point of about minus thirty degrees during the night. 1 Under any normal circumstances, they would both be unwilling to step out of the house even if it would kill them. However, because of the clear requirements, they had to go into the mountain to gather ginseng. 6 They would only be able to get sfood, medicine, and also the kerosene and firewood that they needed for heating in exchange for the ginseng that they gathered. 9 After all, the weather was so cold and the energy consumption for the heater was very high every day. Picking up firewood alone would not be sufficient for them and it would have to be matched with a sufficient amount of kerosene too. 1 After going into the mountain for the whole day, the father and son only managed to dig about six to seven ginseng roots today. This amount of ginseng would only be enough for them to exchange it for sfood tomorrow. 6 Jordan was tired and hungry and his lips were turning purple from the cold.

Now that snow was already accumulating on Mount Golmin, it was very difficult for them to walk deep into the mountain as it would require a great amount of physical strength. However, since the quantity of the ginseng that they could collect was decreasing, this meant that they had to go deeper and deeper into the mountain each time. 1 They could only cback in the middle of the night now but in a few days, they would probably have to spend the night on the mountain.
Jordan stretched out his hand before grabbing a handful of snow and tucking it into his mouth. His lips were chapped and he opened his mouth to say," Son, if we have to continue going on like this, I'm afraid that I won't be able to survive this winter. After I die, you have to continue living strong and surviving on your own, and find a way to save the Weaver family's lineage. You have to look for an opportunity to go back to Aurous Hill and take back Weaver Pharmaceutical. That would be perfect then." 9 Jeffrey panted heavily before he said, "Dad, don't say that. Although the conditions on Mount Golmin are much tougher, I feel that your body is much fitter and healthier than it used to be in the past." 6 Jeffrey sighed as he said, "You did not take good care of your body in the past. You exhausted your vigor and vitality in your early years. Moreover, you never used to exercise and you barely even walked. That's why your physical health was getting worse day by day. However, after coming to Mount Golmin, you have to go into the mountain to gather ginseng every day. I suppose this is why your body is also getting stronger and fitter now. If you continue sticking to this routine, I believe that you'll be able to live a very long life then!" i Jordan sat down on the thick snow and he was filled with emotions as he said, "What you've said makes sense too. I really do feel that my body is much stronger than it had been in the past. I used to breathe heavily and pant after taking a few steps in the past. Now, I can even go into the mountain to gather ginseng for an entire day." At this point, Jordan sighed as he said, "This is all because I did not know how to cherish and take care of my body when I was young. I overworked my body even when I was young. You should take this as a lesson and not follow in my footsteps." Jeffrey simply sat down beside his father before he took out the torchlight in his hand as he flashed it around the snow and trees around him. After that, he said depressingly, "Even if I had wanted to follow in your footsteps, I won't have the chance to do so. There isn't even a single female bear hibernating on this mountain, so where am I supposed to find a woman so I can overwork my body too?" 9 Jordan could not help but laughed when he heard his son's words.
When it cto women, his son really could not be compared to him at all.

When he was young, he had really om gone around womanizing everywhere. The number of women that he had fooled around with was probably even more than the number of women that his son had ever met. 1 As he thought about it, Jordan felt that he had not lived his life in vain.
Jeffrey could not help but sigh as he thought about women. "Speaking of women, I do yearn for Wendy from the Wilson family in Aurous Hill. I don't know if I'll ever have the opportunity to go back to Aurous Hil again in this lifetime. If I can go back, I must find her and have a good twith her then." 5
Jordan patted him gently on his shoulder before he encouraged him and said, "I believe that both of us father and son will definitely have the opportunity to change our fates!" X
