After leaving all of his Familiars inside his room, except for the Rocky Elephant. He had to place the big guy outside the house as he swiftly returned to Martha's side.
All of the family members below the Elder Level were ready to take a piece of this year's festival.
Even Martha's eyes were burning brightly. She had already taken part in the selling of Familiars gained from the garden to earn enough resources for her cultivation. The family did not restrict such actions, instead, they encouraged the sale of Familiars to outside sources as it will allow a good exposure of the economy on the minds of the young ones.
"Are you ready?"
Sigil tapped Martha's shoulder as he couldn't help but grin at her expression. She looked really cute when truly determined.
Feeling his ridicule, she pouted slightly and shrugged her shoulders off his hand and snorted.
"Hey, don't be like that! Say, how about going out with me this weekend?" Sigil grinned and boldly placed his arms around her waist.
Sigil and Martha's relationship wasn't a secret and even John was aware of them. Even though his mouth twitched slightly due to the affection in public, he could only sigh as his daughter also had affection for this kid.
'Maybe I will just send him to the border for training. Six months without any female contact will do the trick.'
He thought darkly and made up his mind. Sigil was a talent that needed to be polished. He couldn't keep him in the family only to flirt around. Even though the results he had produced are outstanding, it doesn't change the fact that he still has time to waste.
"Enough! Before you go in, remember! We all are a family and no vicious attacks will be tolerated!"
John raised his voice once before finally opening the gate of the garden as the members rushed in with their partners.
Meanwhile, Martha and Sigil were relatively calm, but their speed was still quick enough.
"Hey, Martha. You never told me the elemental path you want to cultivate in?"
As they entered the family garden, Sigil suddenly asked Martha.
He gave her a look and couldn't help but appreciate her beauty. Her snow-white hair fluttered behind her as they left a glowing trail while her whole body was already one with the wind.
She was already in her battle suit as a black, form-fitting suit hugged her body. The whole material was heat resistant and Martha was able to showcase her full speed. Not only that, but the black suit also had paddings in the joint regions and these paddings were made with the material found from a water familiar.

Meanwhile, a dark black zip-line moved on her back from the base of her neck to the curves of her hips.
".... so that is why I want to chose this path."
Martha spoke and she looked extremely serious, stunning the already stunned Sigil.
"I'm sorry, what?"
Sigil couldn't help but sweat as he completely ignored Martha's words and kept on gazed at her supple and round butt.
"..."
Martha looked at him with an indifferent expression and sped up.
Sigil could only sigh at his blunder. Usually, she would be continuing with flirting if she caught him staring at her beautiful butt, but right now, she was truly focused on getting a good familiar for herself.
"Hey! Wait up!"
Sigil easily caught up and didn't speak any bullshit. He was sensible enough to understand that it would only make her more furious.
Even though it is said that the family garden was a relatively small forest, it was only slightly smaller than a top-notch forest with an established ecosystem.
Martha and Sigil kept on leaving the clues wherever they felt necessary and moved on to a different region.
They had already come across three Familiars.
One was a dark brown toad with red marks on its back. It was a poison path familiar called Red Dot Spit. If the spit of this toad landed on any living being, a red dot mark will appear on the point of contact and the area will start to bleed continuously.
Actually, this familiar species was extremely rare and not much was sold in the market. If it were before, Martha would surely capture this familiar and sell it off in the market. But this time, she was focused on only the Familiars of a specific path.
As they moved forward, they saw another familiar of the light path.
It was a Blessed Raven. It was quite common in wildlife and had extreme reproductive capabilities. The Blessed Raven found by the duo was actually safeguarding a nest filled with dozens of pitch black eggs.
Those were the eggs of the Blessed Ravens. Unlike the sinister appearance of their eggs, the Blessed Ravens looked extremely graceful and sported feather with a colour combination of white and pure with their tail feathers completely purple in colour.
The last familiar they encountered was a metal path Bronze Boar. As the name suggested, the bronze boar had a skin made of bronze. Actually, this Familiar had different rare variants like Iron Boar, Golden Boar and more.
As they kept on moving forwards, Sigil couldn't help himself as he sighed before asking Martha once again.
"So, which path have you decided on?"
He acted as if the previous blunder did not even occur.
Martha looked at him for a while and then sighed in defeat as she looked at his face.
"Tch! Don't ignore me next time!"
Before telling, she made sure to glare at him one more time before telling him her desired route of chakra path.
"I want to become a wood elemental chakra witch!"
She spoke lightly, causing Sigil to frown.
"Wait a minute, didn't you say that you wanted to become an Illusion Path Chakra Witch?"
Sigil still remembered how Martha spoke with utmost confidence about choosing the Illusion Path. She had also used one year of her time to research on the illusion path and now, she is suddenly saying that she wants to select the wood path.
Martha thought for a while before shaking her head.
"I just changed my mind."
She didn't speak anymore and started to move.
"Hey! Wait up!"
Sigil immediately chased as he soon reached near her. His frown hadn't eased up as he felt that she might have been affected by the results of Ancestral Pool of the family.
