Chapter 318
Seeing Bai Chenxing, Ye Shi hurriedly went to greet him, his eyes gleaming with a brilliant light, "Dad, you're back?"
Bai Chenxing nodded and said, "Yes! Where is my father-in-law?"
"Grandpa just took the elixir and is practicing in the spirit tower. He should be able to come out soon." Mu Chen replied hurriedly.
"Father, is there any result regarding grandpa's ring?" Ye Shi asked impatiently.
Bai Chenxing nodded and said, "I have some clues, but I can't be sure yet. There are too few clues."
Ye Shi's eyes flickered as he said excitedly, "So, you have a suspect?"
Bai Chenxing nodded and said, "Yes."
Ye Shi asked curiously, "Who is it?"
After Qu Kun finished refining the elixir, he walked out of the space ring. When Qu Kun came out, Ye Shi was busy rushing over with Bai Chen Xingba. When he saw Qu Kun appear, Ye Shi was immediately frightened.
"What are you talking about?" Qu Kun looked at Bai Chenxing coldly and asked.
Mu Chen lowered his head and thought to himself: Such an arrogant look, if done by the original Qu Kun, would be natural and imposing, but when done by a man with a baby face like now, it looks so arrogant no matter how you look at it. No wonder Qu Kun had to change his appearance. Qu Kun now looks like this, and no matter how you look at him, you really want to ravage him.
Qu Kun glared at Mu Chen fiercely and said angrily, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
"Grandpa, I'm not laughing!" Mu Chen said innocently.
Qu Kun sneered and said, "You think I don't know that you are laughing in your heart."
Mu Chen: “…” You’ll get scolded even if you laugh secretly.
Bai Chenxing looked at Mu Chen with sympathy, took out a portrait, and handed it to Qu Kun respectfully, "Father-in-law, take a look at this person. Do you have any impression of him?"
Ye Shi exclaimed, "Wow..." He was a handsome guy.
Qu Kun frowned and gave Ye Shi a bad look. "What's your name? You're so jumpy." Qu Kun took the portrait and looked at it. He said with some annoyance, "Who is this? He looks so mean. He deserves a beating no matter how you look at him."
Ye Shi: “…” Grandpa has a problem with his vision!
Muchen: “…” He’s obviously quite handsome.
Bai Chenxing smiled awkwardly and said, "This person also went to the secret realm back then. The space ring might have been made by him, but you have no impression of him at all."
Qu Kun shook his head irritably and said, "No."
Bai Chenxing: “…”
Ye Shi rolled his eyes and said, "Grandpa, you said that grandfather's face was covered in blood, so even if it was this person, you wouldn't be able to recognize him!"
Qu Kun gritted his teeth and said, "That's what happened."
Ye Shi: “…”
Bai Chenxing: “…”
"Father, what is this person's current strength?" Ye Shi asked Bai Chenxing.
Bai Chenxing smiled bitterly and said, "This is an eighth-level weapon refiner. More than 20 years ago, he was already a martial arts master."
Qu Kun quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, definitely not. How could that scum become a Martial Master? Even if he took elixirs, he wouldn't have become so rich that fast. He is so poor. Even if he had a lot of luck, he couldn't have risen so fast."
"In fact, he is not necessarily a poor guy. He may have multiple space rings on him. The space ring that you, father-in-law, took off should be a concealed one. The important space rings may be kept close to his body." Bai Chenxing said after thinking for a while.
There was a hint of surprise and anger in Qu Kun's eyes, "Yes, why didn't I think of it, it must be like this." He said that there were too few things in the space ring, so he was fooled.
"You people from Zhongzhou are so treacherous." Qu Kun said with disgust.
Bai Chenxing: “…” There are also treacherous people in the outside world!
"If I had known, I should have stripped him naked." Qu Kun said gritting his teeth.
Mu Chen: “…” Qu Kun is so cruel.
Qu Kun looked at Bai Chenxing with disdain and said, "He's so cunning, why are you so confused?"
Bai Chenxing: “…”
Ye Shi looked at Bai Chenxing and said, "Dad, what is the probability that the other grandfather is this person?"
Bai Chenxing smiled bitterly and said, "The chances shouldn't be particularly high."
It would be too hasty to conclude that the person Qu Kun was talking to was this person based on a ring. After all, this ring was most likely bought from Ling Chuan by someone else.
Ling Chuan's status is too noble, and his strength may not be weaker than his. Before the matter is clarified, he should not be too reckless.
Ye Shi said somewhat depressedly: "That person is Wu Zun, I can't beat him."
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and asked in confusion, "Can't beat him? Why do you want to fight him?"
"Grandpa said that if he can't beat him, he wants me to help teach that guy a lesson and beat him half to death." Ye Shi said, rubbing his hands.
Mu Chen: “…” Why didn’t he realize before that Qu Kun was such a person.
Qu Kun cleared his throat and said unhappily, "I told you to keep it a secret. Tell me what you have to say."
Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, covering his mouth and said, "Ah! I forgot."
Qu Kun said unhappily, "Once you met Mu Chen, you forgot everything."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Grandpa, Ye Shi has a baby and his memory has been bad recently. Don't bother with him."
Qu Kun snorted coldly and said, "His memory has been bad recently. His memory has never been good."
Ye Shi: “…”
Muchen: “…”
Mu Chen smiled and changed the subject, saying, "Grandpa, you should have advanced to the eighth level of Wuzong, right? Your weapon isn't working well anymore, why not get a new one?"
Bai Chenxing nodded and said attentively, "Yes! Father-in-law, it's time to change your magic weapon."
Qu Kun's magic weapon was made by Mo Feng from the outer realm. This magic weapon would be worth a fortune in the outer realm, and it would be too expensive to show off in Central Continent.
Ye Shi thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, what magical weapon did that person use back then?"
Qu Kun said with disdain, "What kind of magical weapon did he use? If he had one, he would have taken it away from me long ago."
"That person has no magic weapon." Bai Chenxing asked.
Qu Kun nodded and said, "Yes!"
Ye Shi puffed out his cheeks and said, "How did we get so poor? Father, didn't you say that those who entered the secret realm back then were the young talents of the major forces, the ones who were the focus of training?"
Bai Chenxing took a deep breath and said, "Not having a magical weapon doesn't mean you're poor. The Ling family is a family of weapon refiners, but the people with the best talent in this family usually don't use magical weapons."
"Why?" Ye Shi asked puzzledly.
Bai Chenxing glanced at Ye Shi and said, "Because the Ling family has a weapon refining technique that uses humans to refine weapons, treating them as embryos for magical weapons. The cultivator himself is a powerful magical weapon, so naturally there is no need for a magical weapon."
Ye Shi's eyes widened as he asked, "How do you train cultivators like instruments? Throw them into a furnace and train them?"
Bai Chenxing nodded and said, "It seems to be mainly like this, but the details are much more complicated."
"Won't he be refined to death?" Ye Shi asked with his eyes wide open.
"Some people died during the refining process." Bai Chenxing said calmly.
Ye Shi: “…”
Mu Chen: “…” The Bai family’s refining array enters their body, and they will die if they are not careful. The Ling family’s body refining is a treasure, and it is no less than that. This is really an absurd world, and countless people are heading towards death.
Bai Chenxing pursed his lips. Even if the person Qu Kun was with was not Ling Chuan, he should be related to Ling Chuan. However, Ling Chuan's identity was extraordinary. It would be inappropriate to go to him rashly.
Qu Kun said with some annoyance: "Alright, alright, it's been a while, stop trying to catch me."
Muchen: “…”
Bai Chenxing: “…”
Wenxian Pavilion.
A man in green looked at the space ring on the scroll with his eyes narrowed.
"Master, do you think there is a problem?" The old man who was identifying the space ring for Bai Chenxing asked the man in green as he stood in front of him.
"Of course there is a problem." said the man in green.
"It's just an ordinary ring, but Bai Chenxing took the trouble to make it himself. That ring must have a great relationship with Bai Chenxing." The leader of Wenxian Pavilion said solemnly.
"Since you said that this ring uses the technique of space folding, then this ring may be related to Lingchuan." said the man in green.
"It's not that coincidental," said the old man.
"It's not such a coincidence? Before, when Ye Shi came to ask about Bai Chenxing's identity card, if you had taken it more seriously, Bai Chenxing would have owed us, the Wenxian Pavilion, a favor." The man in green said unhappily.
The old man smiled awkwardly and said, "The identity cards of the direct descendants of the Bai family are all of the same standard. At that time, the people below did not expect that the item was actually Bai Chenxing's. Who would have known that Bai Chenxing would actually have an illegitimate child left outside the domain!"
The man in green narrowed his eyes and said, "In our line of work, the most important thing is to be careful."
"The Pavilion Master is right." The old man said respectfully.
"You said this ring was made about fifty years ago?" the man in green said after a moment of hesitation.
The old man nodded and said, "Yes."
The man in green narrowed his eyes and said, "I remember that forty-eight years ago, the Tianyuan Secret Realm was opened. I heard that Ling Chuan of the Ling family was framed in there and almost exploded to death. After he came out, Ling Chuan once investigated the people in the secret realm, because the people who entered the secret realm that year..." Many of them had too noble identities, and this investigation eventually came to nothing.
"Back then, everyone thought Ling Chuan was looking for the person who framed him. In fact, Ling Chuan was looking for Shuang'er."
The old man asked in surprise: "Shuang'er?"
The man in green nodded and said, "Yes." The Wenxian Pavilion held the world's secrets, and he was one of the few people who knew Ling Chuan's true intentions back then. "Ling Chuan was poisoned by the Juemeng snake in the secret realm, and it seems that he unexpectedly detoxified himself by holding Shuang'er."
The old man frowned and said, "That shouldn't be the case! Even if the Juemeng snake venom was cured, both the victim and Shuang'er should have exploded and died. Was Ling Chuan poisoned by Huanmeng snake venom? Huanmeng snake venom and Juemeng snake venom are very similar in toxicity."
The man in green shook his head and said, "No, it was the Juemeng snake venom. The person who poisoned it wanted Lingchuan's life."
The old man frowned and said, "Why?"
The man in green said, "It might be that Shuang'er has a special physique, which neutralized the poison in Lingchuan's body. Not only did Lingchuan get rid of the poison, but he even broke through his limits and his strength improved by leaps and bounds."
"Back then, Ling Chuan investigated and found nothing..." The man in green tapped his fingers on the table and said, "The physique of the spirit race is very special. Go and investigate where the ring on Bai Chenxing's hand came from."
The old man nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away."
