Chapter 315
Qu Kun glared at the silent Bai Chenxing angrily, and then ignored Bai Chenxing and turned his gaze to Mu Chen: "I heard that you are an eighth-level low-level alchemist."
Hearing Qu Kun mention him, Mu Chen's heart couldn't help but hang in the air. He nodded and said, "Yes!"
"The Soul-Returning Pill is an eighth-level advanced pill recipe. You should think of a way to improve your pill-making skills! Don't procrastinate. How long are you going to put it off?" Qu Kun said.
Mu Chen's expression stiffened for a moment, and he said respectfully, "Yes."
He wanted to improve his alchemy skills, but without the inheritance, there was nothing he could do! Qu Kun and Ye Shi were equally optimistic, believing that it wouldn't be long before he could become a late-stage eighth-level alchemist. They were truly grandfather and grandson, inheriting the same bloodline.
"Mu Chen has been working hard." Ye Shi said hurriedly.
Qu Kun looked at Mu Chen, sighed softly, and said, "I know it's hard for you, but now there's no one else I can count on except you."
Mu Chen hurriedly said: "Grandpa, I will definitely do my best."
Qu Kun took out something that looked like a tortoise shell and handed it to Mu Chen.
"This is something left by the ancestors of the Qu family. See if it can be used."
"What is it?" Ye Shi asked.
Qu Kun frowned and said, "It's a fragment of a map. There seems to be a Dan character on it. I think it may be useful to you."
"Grandpa, where did this thing come from?" Ye Shi asked curiously.
"It was left behind by the elders of our clan. Our clan is a branch of the Spirit Clan. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Spirit Clan suffered a devastating disaster. The direct descendants of the Spirit Clan went into hiding and lost contact with the higher-ups in the clan. To save their lives, the elders of our branch clan had no choice but to flee to the outer realms."
When Ye Shi heard Qu Kun's words, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. He always thought that the Ling Clan was his own people. However, judging from the Ling Clan's actions of abandoning its branch clan, the Ling Clan was not much better.
However, in fact, the decision of the elders of the Spirit Clan to cut off their own arm was not wrong.
In that situation, sacrificing pawns to save the chariot is better than losing the entire army. Ye Shi can understand this, but it does not mean that he has no grudges.
Mu Chen's face was very calm. There were no absolutely good people or absolutely bad people in this world, only absolute interests.
As long as the hostile state between the Spirit Clan and the Fate Clan does not change, the Spirit Clan can still be trusted for the time being.
Bai Chenxing looked at what Qu Kun took out, his eyes narrowed, "This thing..."
Ye Shi glanced at Bai Chenxing and said, "Father, what's wrong?"
Bai Chenxing said: "This thing seems to be a fragment of the map of the Dan Palace ruins."
Ye Shi looked at Bai Chenxing and asked, "Is it of any use?"
"Yes, according to legend, once all the maps are collected, one can start exploring the ruins of the Dan Palace. Each piece of the map can bring five people in." Bai Chenxing said.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "The map fragments are in different people's hands?"
Bai Chenxing nodded and said, "There are two pieces in Dan Tower, one in Dan Valley, and one in Danqi Pavilion. There has always been one piece missing. All major forces have been looking for it, but they didn't expect..." Unexpectedly, the last piece was in Qu Kun's hands.
Mu Chen looked at Qu Kun and thought to himself: Ye Shi’s ancestors must not be ordinary people either.
"For hundreds of thousands of years, people have been looking for this map fragment. Dan Tower, Dan Valley, and Danqi Pavilion all have huge rewards for this map fragment." Bai Chenxing said.
Qu Kun smiled and said, "Over the past hundred thousand years, the legends passed down by our ancestors have been rarely believed by our generation. If it weren't for the fact that Shuang'er's pregnancy period was different from that of ordinary humans, no one in our tribe would consider themselves special. Since this map fragment is incomplete, many people in our tribe regard it as useless trash."
Our ancestors lived and multiplied in the outer realm. The spiritual energy in the outer realm is thin. It is difficult for a Martial Emperor to appear in the outer realm. The Martial Lord and Martial Saint passed down in the clan sound like an absurd dream.
Ye Shi looked at Qu Kun and said, "Grandpa, how did you know this thing is useful?"
"I'm not sure. When your mother and father were young, the elders of the clan took out something for them to grab. This fragment was originally grabbed by your mother and father. After your mother and father grabbed it, the elders of the clan said that this thing was destined to be with your mother and father, so they wanted to give it to you. At that time, your mother and father were too young, so I kept it for them." Qu Kun said.
Ye Shi: “…” Mom and dad really have good vision!
Bai Chengfeng found Bai Chenxing and said happily, "Fifteenth brother, I heard that your father-in-law has arrived."
Bai Chenxing nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, "Yes!"
Bai Chengfeng stroked his chin and said with interest, "I heard that your father-in-law is as powerful as Yan Xing? He fought one against five and held his own!"
Bai Chenxing sighed helplessly. The people of the Bai family were too arrogant. No matter how hard they tried to restrain themselves, disaster would befall them sooner or later.
"I heard that your father-in-law scolded you so much that you were spitting blood." Bai Chengfeng said with a gloating look on his face.
Bai Chenxing looked at Bai Chengfeng unhappily, confirming that Bai Chengfeng was here to take advantage of his misfortune and make fun of him.
"You have just been promoted to Martial Master. Don't you need to spend some time consolidating your cultivation?" Bai Chenxing asked.
Bai Chengfeng said proudly, "Fifteenth brother, don't you know me yet? I've accumulated a lot of experience and now I'm ready to make a breakthrough. Although I'm a newly promoted Martial Honored, my strength is higher than that of an ordinary one-star Martial Honored. Fifteenth brother, choosing me to enter the secret realm with you is absolutely a wise choice."
Bai Chenxing said angrily, "Stop talking now. I heard that some time ago, when you were promoted to Martial Master, you were beaten black and blue by Yan Xing, who was still at Martial Sect level. If you're not ashamed, I'm ashamed for you."
Bai Chengfeng smiled awkwardly and said, "That doesn't count. Yanxing is pregnant. As his uncle, how can I really argue with him?"
Bai Chenxing sneered: "Even if you try your best, you are no match for Yanxing. Yanxing still has a trump card that he hasn't used yet. If Yanxing uses a special move, you won't be able to dodge it..."
Bai Chengfeng smiled dryly and said, "How can I be that weak?" Bai Chengfeng said this, but he felt a little scared in his heart. Bai Chenxing still had the ancestral array book and mobilized the original array pattern. He was indeed no match for him.
Bai Chenxing crossed his arms, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Bai Chengfeng thought to himself: You only act like a spoiled braggart in front of me, and you act like a grandson in front of Qu Kun.
"Grandpa, are you looking for me?" Jing Ming strode into Jing Lifeng's villa.
Jing Lifeng nodded and said, "Yes! The Bai family sent a message that the last piece of the picture of the Dan Palace ruins has been found."
Jing Ming was full of surprise and said, "How could it be? It's been so long and there's no news at all, how could they suddenly find it?"
"According to ancient records, the map fragments from that time may have fallen into the hands of a branch of the Eldar. At that time, the Eldar were in a period of turmoil and chaos, and that Eldar suddenly disappeared without a trace. The major forces have searched for a long time, but have found no trace."
"How did that thing end up in Bai Chenxing's hands? Was it taken out by the spirit race?" Jing Ming said.
Jing Lifeng shook his head and said, "It's probably not from the Spirit Clan. One map fragment can bring five people in. The five people from Bai Chenxing's side who will enter are tentatively Bai Chenxing, Muchen, Bai Yanxing, Qu Kun, and Bai Chengfeng. Although Bai Yanxing and Qu Kun are both from the Spirit Clan, they are not orthodox Spirit Clan members. If the item falls into the hands of a Spirit Clan member, then the people from the Bai family who will enter the Dan Palace ruins will definitely not be these few."
Jing Ming frowned and said, "Forget about Mu Chen and Bai Chengfeng. Qu Kun and Ye Shi are both martial masters. I'm afraid they won't be able to help much if they go in."
"The weaker the people from the Bai family are, the better it will be for us. If a member of the Bai family becomes a Martial Saint, what will we have left to do?" Jing Lifeng said.
Jing Ming nodded and said, "That's true. I heard that as soon as Bai Chenxing's father-in-law arrived in Zhongzhou, he started a fight with the Bai family."
Jing Lifeng nodded and said, "Yes! I heard that Qu Kun has a lot of opinions about Bai Chenxing."
However, this is not surprising. Bai Chenxing had not visited Qu Xinyang for more than ten years due to a misunderstanding. Although Bai Chenxing said that it was because Qu Xinyang followed someone else, in Qu Kun's heart, Bai Chenxing was probably the one who abandoned Qu Xinyang.
Bai Chenxing was really unlucky, as things turned out like this because of a misunderstanding.
"The relationship between Danta and the Bai family is very delicate now. If the Dan Palace can really be opened this time, there may be a conflict between the two sides."
Jing Ming smiled indifferently and said, "It would be better if they fought. While the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. Bai Chenxing is quite strange. He didn't invite any of the spirit people."
Jing Lifeng smiled and said, "The spirit race may not be a good thing either."
"The Bai family has gone too far." Qu Quan said a little angrily.
Qu Lingwu said with a gloomy face, "That's right! Of the five places, not a single one was given to our spirit race. Bai Chenxing, Muchen, and Bai Chengfeng are fine, but why do Bai Yanxing and Qu Kun take up two places?"
Qu Qingyin said calmly, "Bai Yanxing and Qu Kun are also spirits. One is Bai Chenxing's son, and the other is Bai Chenxing's father-in-law. It's only natural for Bai Chenxing to take care of them."
"Just two side branches." Qu Quan said.
The Eldar race attaches great importance to bloodline, and the treatment of the direct descendants and the side branches of the Eldar race is also very different.
The spirit race has special instruments that can detect the purity of the divine blood among the direct descendants of the race. Generally speaking, the higher the purity of the divine blood, the better the aptitude. Qu Quan, Qu Lingwu, Qu Qingyin and others all have very high divine blood purity and have a very respected status in the spirit race.
The direct descendants of the spirit race have a natural sense of blood superiority and do not look down upon people from the side branches.
"That's enough. After all, they are all from the Spirit Clan, so they can be considered our own people." Qu Qingyin said unhappily.
The Bai family's foundation is no worse than that of the spirit clan. Bai Chenxing has been promoted to Martial Saint, and his future is limitless. Qu Quan and others have been spoiled by the people in the clan and have become blindly arrogant.
However, Bai Chenxing didn't give them any places, which was really too much.
