Chapter 57: In My Hands!

  In the stone building.

  Zuo Xiao and Shi Jian's faces were solemn, their eyes shining brightly as they stared intently at Zuo Shi, who had one hand pressed into the indentation on the turtle shell.

  Zuo's virtual body was the master of the Zuo family, and at this moment, he was somewhat excited, his ten fingers constantly stretching and clenching, and the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time.

  Zuo Shi is the future hope of the Zuo family, and whether the Zuo family can rise again in the future and continue to stand tall in the business world has a direct connection with Zuo Shi's strength or weakness!

  Zuo Shi Qiang, Zuo Jia will be able to maintain its dominance in the future. Zuo Shi Ruo, Zuo Jia may decline and fall into obscurity.

  There are countless examples of a family's rise and fall due to the presence or absence of a key figure. A family must have a strong personality in order to maintain its superior position.

  Bei Ming Xiang arranged Yin Kui and Jiushan to be by his side at all times, in order to prevent Bei Ming Xue from encountering any unexpected events before he becomes powerful. The purpose was also for the prosperity of their family's future.

  Shi Yan's expression was indifferent, but at this moment, he was secretly observing Zuo Xue's reaction.

  Through the subtle changes in Zuo Xun's expression, he realized that Zuo Xun indeed regarded Zuo Shi as the most precious treasure of the family, and also realized how important a future strongman would be in the hearts of these old men.

  ……

  One by one, strange blue symbols flew out of the turtle shell and disappeared into Zuo Shi's body.

  Zuo Shi had already closed his eyes, and a faint blue light appeared on his exquisite face.

  Tiny points of light danced on Zuo Shi's cheek, like a green firefly with life, conveying its thoughts to Zuo Shi.

  Zuo Shi's slender figure suddenly trembled slightly, and the cyan light in her palm suddenly became even more dazzling!

  Zuo's face changed in an instant, and he was about to let out a cry of surprise. Subconsciously, he wanted to move forward to protect Zuo Shi, fearing that she would encounter some kind of danger.

  "Goodbye!"

  Shi Yan took a step forward on the rock, suddenly pressed down on Zuo Wu's left shoulder, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, Grandpa Zuo, don't be too tense."

  Zuo Yu was taken aback and looked at Shi Yan in surprise, "Are you sure nothing will happen?"

  "Ah, don't worry!" Shi Yan nodded affirmatively, "The faint glow in this tortoise shell should be a memory message. If I'm not mistaken, it might be the cultivation method of 'Xuanwu Zhenjing'. So, you don't have to worry, this is just a memory implant."

  Shi Yan got the "Berserk" training method from the Blood Vein Ring at a time very similar to this scene.

  At that time, there were also many memory light spots flying out of the blood-patterned ring and directly drilling into his brain sea, becoming the memory imprint in his brain sea.

  Having gone through that experience, he now looks at Zuo's current situation and has a number in mind.

  "Shut up, kid! This is a very serious matter!" Shi Jian rebuked sternly.

  Shi Jian was also worried, he feared that Shi Yan's arbitrary orders would harm Zuo Shi, if that were the case, the Shi and Zuo families might even become sworn enemies!

  Since the Zu family rose to prominence with Zuo Ci's ascension to the Red Sky, they had a hidden advantage in competing with the Bei Ming family. For the Shi family, having the Zu family as a solid ally was beneficial in every way, whether it was in dealing with the Bei Ming family or the Mo family.

  Shi Jian didn't want to be on bad terms with the Zuo family.

  "Don't worry, Xiaoshi will be fine, you can rest assured." Shiyuan comforted Zuoxu: "Congratulations, Master Zuo, this time Xiaoshi will definitely gain a lot, just prepare to smile secretly."

  "You little brat." With that said, Zuo Xū indeed relaxed and smiled: "If it's really like you said this time, then consider I owe you a favor, little brat."

  "Grandpa, you really owe him one."

  Zuo Shi suddenly opened his eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, delightedly saying: "Those strange lights are the cultivation messages of 'Xuanwu True Ring', now I have obtained the complete cultivation method of 'Xuanwu True Ring' in my mind."

  "What level of martial arts?" Zuo Xuan excitedly almost jumped up and hastily asked.

  Shaking his head, Zuo Shi said: "I don't know either. I only got the cultivation method of 'Xuanwu True Ring', but it doesn't say what level of martial skill it is."

  "The words on the tortoise shell are extremely ancient! This should be a martial skill cultivated by warriors in ancient times, and at that time, the martial skills had not been divided into such detailed levels as we have now." Shi Yan smiled and explained casually: "However, the martial skills of that era were absolutely more mysterious than our current martial skills. This little poem is really a great fortune!"

  "Haha!"

  Zuo Xuan burst out laughing and slapped Shi Yan's shoulder enthusiastically, saying "You little rascal, the more I look at you, the happier I am! With a clever kid like you in the Shi family, how can we not rise to greatness in the future?"

  Shi Jian's eyes lit up and he glanced at Zuo Shi, seemingly recalling something, a brilliant smile spreading across his face.

  "Crack! Crack! Crack!"

  Zuo Shi drew back his hand, and the tortoise shell suddenly split open, scattering into pieces of turtle shells.

  Those turtle shells have become very thin, shimmering with a strange cyan light. One piece of the shell presents a dragon head shape, and another piece of the shell shows the appearance of a dragon tail, as if it were a shoulder guard, extremely strange.

  In the center of the tortoise shell, three more walnut-sized, radiant dan medicines appeared. These dan medicines were actually in the shape of a silly dragon turtle, with a dragon head and a tortoise body, vividly lifelike.

  A refreshing and heart-warming medicinal fragrance wafted out from the three elixirs, the fragrance was extremely rich and intense. The few people who caught a whiff of it were instantly shaken.

  "These three are 'Dragon Turtle Pills', specifically for cultivating the 'Xuanwu True Body'. This turtle shell is the 'Dragon Turtle Spirit Shell', said to have a very strong defensive power." Zuo Shi stretched out his hand, picked up the three "Dragon Turtle Pills", and put them into his bosom without hesitation, saying: "I need Dragon Turtle Pills to cultivate Xuanwu True Body. Three Dragon Turtle Pills are just enough to help me cultivate Xuanwu True Body well."

  The joy on his face grew even heavier, clapping his hands and laughing loudly, excited beyond measure.

  Shi Jian was somewhat depressed, staring at Zuo Shi as he put away all the Longgui Dan. He muttered to himself, "That kid Shi Yan also made an effort..."

  "Give him the Dragon Turtle Spirit Armor." Zuo Shi's small foot lightly kicked the Dragon Turtle Spirit Armor on the ground, and she cutely furrowed her brow, lightly laughing: "I don't want to wear this turtle shell. It's so heavy! Whoever wants it can take it away."

  "Good." Shi Jian let out a loud shout and hastily used his eyes to signal to Shi Yan, urging him to quickly pick up that "Dragon Turtle Spirit Shell".

  "This isn't good, is it? They're a set." Zuo Yu gritted his teeth, his face filled with reluctance. Although he thought Shi Yan was quite pleasing to the eye, he didn't want to give away the "Dragon Turtle Spirit Shell" either.

  Shi Yan was also motionless, shaking his head and saying: "I don't want to, my Shi family's martial soul excels at defense, I don't need to suffer with such a heavy turtle shell."

  "Hey!" Shi Jian was furious, stamping his foot and shouting: "You don't know what's good for you!"

  You don't want it, can't you give it to someone else? Stupid! Shi Jian cursed in his heart.

  "Hey kiddo! I like you!" Zuo Xiao burst out laughing, winking at Shi Jian, "It's not that I didn't want to give it to him, but this little rascal Shi Yan refused himself. Now you can't blame me for this." After speaking, Zuo Xiao quickly picked up the turtle shell piece by piece, and his smile deepened a bit more.

  "Grandpa, if you wear this 'Dragon Turtle Spirit Armor', you should look like an old turtle. Why don't you try it on?" Zuo Shi chuckled lightly.

  "Hmm, the little girl is right, Left Younger Brother, why don't you put it on and try?" Shi Jian said with a pleased and gloating tone.

  "Preposterous! You stinky little girl, what nonsense are you spouting?" Zuo Xiao's face turned green with rage as he glared at Zuo Shi, "If you keep spewing such nonsense, be careful that next time I won't come to Yunwu Mountains to pick you up again. I'll let you rot in Chi Xiao until you're bored to death!"

  "Little poem dare not." Zuo poem spat out a small tongue of fragrant cloves and shrank his head to beg for mercy.

  "Cough, brother, yeah, it's about time we headed back." Zuo Xiao smiled and looked at Shi Jian, saying: "Don't worry, our people from the Zuo family will also be keeping an eye out on the other side of the Dark Forest. If there's any news about Kalu, I'll send someone to inform you right away. You do the same, if you get any news, remember to contact each other immediately."

  "Of course, ah, I really didn't think that Karu, such a small character, could actually steal the treasure map of Muxun. Now, another copy has appeared in Xuanxuan Pavilion, whoever can get both copies, opening 'Tianmen' will be easy, what a pity..." Shi Jian sighed with emotion.

  "Who is it?"

  Shi Yan furrowed his brow, let out a soft sigh, thought for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "That Kalu, isn't he a fifth-grade alchemist of the mortal level?"

  "Huh? You also know about Kalu's thing?" Zu Xiao was curious.

  "Is he very important?" Shi Yan didn't answer his question, but instead asked back.

  "He's insignificant, but the half of the treasure map on him that points to 'Tian Men' is extremely important!" Zu Xiao shouted.

  "Karu was killed by me long ago, and that half of the treasure map, well, it's now in my hands."

  "What?!"

  Zuo Xiao, Shi Jian and Zuo Shi's three people, stared with wide eyes at the same time, and exclaimed in unison.

  ……
