Chapter 11: Treasure in Hand! (Second Update Seeking Collection)

  Inside the thatched cottage, Qin's old ancestor sat on a futon, his brow slightly furrowed, with a hint of solemnity on his face, and a look of doubt flickering in his eyes, as his hands, shimmering with a faint blue light, continuously swept over the black-clad youth.

  Qin Xuan sat on the couch, observing his surroundings. What surprised him was that this ordinary-looking grass house outside was actually like a starry sky inside, with dense stars twinkling, as if within reach. He himself was sitting in the midst of this starry sky. Closing his eyes slightly to feel it, he was shocked to discover that the aura here was at least ten times thicker than outside!

  A tenfold increase in the density of the mysterious energy! What a concept! Qin Xuan felt his scalp tingling at the mere thought, but immediately his heart was ablaze with excitement. If he stayed here, he might be able to break through to the Qi Sea Realm before long!

  "How strange! How strange!"

  He withdrew his hands, and the pale blue light dissipated. The old ancestor of the Qin family spoke two more sentences, his eyebrows filled with dense confusion.

  His heart skipped a beat, Qin Xuan didn't even have time to continue being shocked, and hastily asked, "Ancestor, is something wrong with my body?"

  Looking at the young man's anxious appearance, Lao Zu shook his head and sighed, saying, "No, your body is not only fine, but its strength far exceeds my imagination."

  Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only to become puzzled immediately afterwards. If nothing was wrong, then why did the old ancestor have such an expression?

  "From my observation, your meridians have indeed been severed by more than seven layers. If it were an ordinary person, they would likely have become a useless person long ago and would have to spend the rest of their life in bed." Before the young man could speak, the old ancestor continued, "Fortunately, you have a terrifying body."

  The old ancestor's voice couldn't hide his surprise in his heart. If possible, he even wanted to dissect this body and study it carefully.

  And from his observation, Qin Xuan's current physical body is already stronger than a general Qi Hai Jing master!

  "And, if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid there's already a force inside you that's helping to repair your meridians?" The old man's last sentence was filled with doubt, his eyes fixed tightly on the young man, as if trying to see through him.

  Qin Xuan was slightly taken aback, not expecting the old man to notice even this. He hesitated for a moment before nodding, "That's right, but it's being repaired extremely slowly."

  "No wonder."

  The old ancestor of the Qin family had an expression that was indeed so, and he didn't ask much. Everyone has their own fate, just like when he himself was young, if he hadn't obtained such things, he wouldn't have been able to establish the entire vast Qin family with his own hands.

  "Ancestor, is there something wrong with this power?" Qin Xuan's brow furrowed, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. That power was naturally referring to the power of 'Heroic Divine Canon'. If it weren't for relying on the 'Heroic Divine Canon', he wouldn't have been able to advance three realms in one day!

  It's hard for Qin Xuan to accept that 'Heroic Spirit' has problems.

  "That's not it." He chuckled and shook his head. After a moment of contemplation, the old ancestor said, "As far as I can see now, this power doesn't seem to be harmful to you."

  "It's just a pity that this power is too mysterious, and with my current strength, I still can't pry into it." The old ancestor's mouth was tinged with a bitter smile, no matter how hard he tried before, he couldn't break through the thick wall inside the young man's body to see what was inside.

  Seeing this, Qin Xuan finally put his mind at ease. As long as the "Heroic Divine Canon" was harmless to himself, it would be fine. As for what the old ancestor said about being unable to pry into its secrets, it was actually easy to understand. After all, the "Heroic Divine Canon" was something he had obtained from that mysterious universe. Not to mention the old ancestor of the Qin family, even Qin Xuan himself knew very little about the "Heroic Divine Canon".

  But this also makes him look forward to 'Heroic Spirit Dictionary' even more!

  At this moment, Qin Xuan suddenly realized that the 'starry sky' on his head was changing, and before he could react, he saw the old ancestor of the Qin family stretch out his hand to grab at the 'starry sky'.

  Wow.

  Like shattered glass, under Qin Xuan's stunned expression, the entire 'starry sky' shattered in an instant, revealing the original simple and crude appearance of the grass hut. In Lao Zu's hand, however, a small, crystal-clear bell had appeared out of nowhere.

  It's said to be small mainly because this bell is only as big as a palm, with a texture similar to crystal. On its surface, there are occasionally flashes of fiery red energy flowing through it, like flames. When you get closer, there's even a wave of scorching hot air rushing towards your face.

  The crystal clock hovered in the palm of Lao Zu's hand, slowly rotating, and from time to time a powerful force overflowed, causing Qin Xuan's soul to tremble.

  "This thing is called 'Lihuo Zhong'." The old ancestor's mouth corner brought a smile, and his eyes had a thread of reminiscence. "Originally thought that this time the clan mansion meeting would take it out as a reward, now it seems that it has found a better owner."

  "This, this is the treasure?" Qin Xuan exclaimed, his voice becoming somewhat shrill.

  He nodded, and Lao Zu did not deny it. The precious treasures on his body were not just this one. Otherwise, he would not have been so majestic. However, in order to contend for the 'Li Huo Zhong', he had also spent a great deal of effort, and was severely injured before finally obtaining it.

  Hiss.

  Qin Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, his breathing becoming slightly rapid, his eyes fixed tightly on the crystal clear 'Li Huo Zhong' in front of him, this was indeed a precious treasure! Its existence would cause quite a stir in the outside world!

  At this time, Qin Xuan only then thought of why the thatched hut was a starry sky before, and it turned out to be caused by this treasure. There was also the dark energy that was nearly ten times thicker than the outside world. Since the starry sky disappeared and transformed into the 'Lihuo Zhong' in Laozu's hand, it also disappeared.

  "My father once said that this treasure can not only repair meridians but also increase the speed of cultivation, it seems what he said is true."

  It's only natural that with a precious treasure on him that has an aura nearly ten times thicker than the outside world, his cultivation speed would be fast.

  However, if this is the case for the later stages of cultivation, the effect should be smaller and smaller. Qin Xuan thought to himself, understanding that although external objects are important, one's own self is the key, which is also why Lao Zu would contribute the 'Lihuo Bell'.

  "It seems that Qin Yun Tian has already told you about it."

  Looking at the expression on the young man's face, Lao Zu nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "In those years, for this treasure, I paid a great price, and it was relying on it that I grew from the Qi Hai realm to my current state. Now, I will give it to you, do you accept?"

  Although he had already guessed it, when the words came out of Lao Zu's mouth, Qin Xuan was still filled with excitement and excitement. Refuse? Unless his head was pinched by a door or hit by a cannon!

  What a treasure!

  He was worried that he might not be able to obtain the treasure from Lao Zu, after all, it was related to his own vein repair problem, and at the clan meeting, it was also said that only the first-class young people in the family had the qualifications to obtain this thing.

  But now, Qin Xuan was completely at ease. Although his current strength was still far behind the first of the younger generation in the family by a hundred and eighty thousand miles, if people from other three palaces knew about this matter, they might not be convinced. However, he didn't worry at all, and even had absolute confidence that as long as the meridian repair was completed, within a year, even if he couldn't surpass the first of the younger generation in the Qin family, it wouldn't be far off.

  When the time comes, you won't obey? Then I'll beat you until you do!

  At this moment, Qin Xuan, who had taken over the 'Li Huo Zhong', was like the flames that flowed on its surface from time to time. His heart was burning with a fierce fire, and his heroic spirit was boundless.

  Wow.

  With a flip of his right hand, an earthy yellow sheepskin scroll appeared in Lao Zu's hands. As soon as the scroll emerged, it emitted an ancient aura, as if it had gone through countless years, and even Qin Xuan couldn't help but glance at it sideways.

  "This is the 'Body Refining Scripture'." Seeing the young man's puzzled gaze, the old ancestor smiled and explained, "I unexpectedly obtained it when I went out to practice in my younger years. Unfortunately, this 'Body Refining Scripture' requires too high a level of physical intensity, so I was unable to cultivate it. I had thought that it would be shelved forever, but I didn't expect it to see the light of day again."

  "Your physical strength is something I've rarely seen in my life. Take it and study it carefully, it might have some effect on repairing your meridians."

  He solemnly nodded his head as he took over the nearly worn-out yellowed sheepskin scroll with both hands, not pretending to be polite at all. Although he didn't know what the old ancestor saw in him, whether it was the precious 'Li Huo Zhong' or the 'Xiushen Jue', he would remember the old ancestor's kindness forever.

  Qin Xuan is not a cold-blooded person, on the contrary, he knows how to repay kindness and attaches more importance to emotions than his own life!

  "Bring me the big sword you used that day." Lao Zu said suddenly.

  He nodded slightly, and Qin Xuan didn't hesitate at all. He took out the giant 'black iron' wrapped in white cloth from his spatial ring.

  His hands gently stroked the 'Black Iron', and Qin's old ancestor had a hint of surprise in his eyes, looking at the puzzled young man with a smile, "It seems that this little guy's luck is not bad, even the spiritual instrument was found by you."

  "Spiritual artifact!"

  Qin Xuan's eyes widened in surprise, the spiritual instrument was extremely rare, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was worth a fortune, even among the four manors of the Qin family, only a select few possessed such an item.

  Among peers, a warrior with a spiritual artifact is absolutely much stronger than an ordinary warrior.

  After talking for a few more sentences, Qin Xuan finally backed down. The Dragon Pavilion was very large, and it wasn't difficult to find a place to temporarily stay. Moreover, the Old Ancestor had given an order, so the strong practitioners inside the Dragon Pavilion didn't obstruct them either.

  Sitting on the tatami, Qin's old ancestor had a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, looking at the humble thatched cottage, and after a long time, he whispered, "There is still the sword technique from back then, it should be an advanced sword art."

  "This time, let me see just how great your potential is... ten days should be enough..."
