369: negotiation

“So you came because of the ancestor's instruction from your clan?”

After getting rid of the persistent Humes, Qin received a warm welcome.

This person's attitude towards Barbara was absolutely sincere.

Qin, with a few words, clarified the cause of the matter.

The reason for their visit this time was that their clan's ancestor recognized Qin's physique and was overjoyed. After some investigation, they found that Qin's twin sister also had this physique, so they instructed Humes to come and play the emotional card.

Who would have thought that fellow was such a scumbag, neither of the two daughters liked him.

“The Golden Mark Clan of the Blue Blood Alliance, capable of manipulating metal power, combined with the Food Gold Clan, unexpectedly gave birth to your sisters with such unique physiques—truly remarkable,” Feng exclaimed in wonder.

Special physiques were also a kind of secret information to him.

“If cultivated properly, it’s equivalent to an all-attribute amplification divine artifact, plus special abilities. It’s truly enviable,” Bai Qi, rarely, showed envy.

“So what’s the strength of that ancestor?” Lin Ye inquired.

Ordinary Dominators were nothing to worry about with Galaxy Lord backing them.

“Dominator Seven-Star, also the strongest in the clan.”

The Golden Mark Clan was not strong, but it had an old monster-level ancestor. Besides that, the strongest was only Dominator Four-Star.

It was precisely because the powerhouses in the clan had a significant generational gap that this ancestor was so concerned about the two sisters.

If cultivated properly, they would both become top-tier Dominators in terms of combat power, at least Dominator Six-Star existences.

“But there’s no need to worry. Our teacher also has a backer. If they really piss us off, we won’t back down,” Feng said.

Normal family recognition was fine.

Snatching people? No way.

“I’ll go talk to him.”

A figure appeared.

“Master.”

“Master.”

“Galaxy Lord, hello.”

Everyone looked over.

“Hmm, Qin, right? Connect with your ancestor,” Galaxy Lord instructed.

“Okay.”

Qin naturally dared not refuse.

A virtual image connected, and a formidable young strong man appeared.

His entire body was covered in mysterious patterns, all revealing immense power.

“Qin, what do you need me for?”

“I’m looking for you,” Galaxy Lord appeared in the image.

“Oh? So it’s you. Let me say this upfront, Barbara must return to the Golden Mark Clan; the Golden Mark Clan’s blood flows within her,” the strong man said very assertively.

“Barbara was raised by me. She was born and grew up in Galaxy Territory. Where do you get your confidence? If you remain stubborn, I’ll detain Qin as well.”

Galaxy Lord's words were shocking.

“Master is so domineering!”

Several disciples praised him.

“Hmph, you wouldn’t dare.”

The strong man was no pushover; he was clearly a dominant figure as well.

The two were unyielding, engaging in a war of words, neither able to get the better of the other.

“A mere Dominator Six-Star combat power dares to squawk in front of me.”

“Just a Dominator Seven-Star, and a lone wolf at that. Do you dare to endure the Sky Thunder King’s wrath?”

Galaxy Lord was not afraid either. A few thousand years ago, he had just rectified a wave of injustices against the Reception Land. At this time, no one dared to touch this high-pressure line.

The Golden Spirit Clan had poor popularity within the Blue Blood Alliance; they were too assertive and did not fit the general environment. They were incompatible with other peace-loving, gentle races, and naturally had few friends.

Seeing this, the strong man was deflated.

He truly didn't dare to do anything to Galaxy Lord. The latter was protected by his merits, and there was also a protective boss above him.

“So what? She is still a bloodline of our Golden Mark Clan.” His tone softened a bit.

“How about we both take a step back? Barbara will still be my disciple, but your clan can also cultivate her. Ultimately, what she wants to do is up to her,” Galaxy Lord revealed his true intentions.

Being tough was for better compromise.

The strong man thought for a moment and then agreed.

“When my Golden Spirit Clan’s secret arts and rare metals are all brought to bear, won’t she naturally become close to us?” he thought, calculating.

Galaxy Lord also thought, “It would be strange if Barbara became close to you. I adopted her since she was little.”

Barbara’s mother died young, but she unexpectedly encountered the patrolling Galaxy Lord. Galaxy Lord recognized Barbara’s potential and brought her back to adopt her.

Although he lacked sufficient foundation and couldn't identify the specific special physique, Barbara's talent was beyond doubt.

“I can help you a few times out of personal favor, though,” Galaxy Lord thought.

The two reached an agreement.

“And that disciple of yours, Lin Ye.”

After settling Barbara’s matter, the strong man’s tone shifted.

“What? This has nothing to do with you,” Galaxy Lord sneered.

“If he wishes to come, our Golden Mark Clan’s non-legacy secret arts can be opened to him without any cost.”

Galaxy Lord raised an eyebrow, and the others also secretly thought, ‘What boldness!’

“If he wants to go, I will arrange it,” Galaxy Lord said.

Lin Ye didn't cultivate metal-element laws, so why would he go?

Not all of the Golden Mark Clan cultivated the metal path; there were also other laws, but their attainments were not high.

........

“This Golden Mark Clan ancestor truly has courage.”

After resolving the matter, Barbara warmly entertained her fellow disciples.

Lin Ye and the others politely left after a short stay, leaving time for the two sisters.

The scumbag father and early-deceased mother, and the twins who were separated since childhood, showed no hint of unfamiliarity.

Speaking of the Golden Mark Clan ancestor, Lin Ye still felt a bit emotional.

He, like Galaxy Lord, placed great importance on cultivating the next generation.

This was also due to their circumstances.

Lagging behind leads to getting beaten; once bitten, twice shy.

Both of their younger generations had severe generational gaps in strength.

This was also a common problem for powerhouses.

If not a strong clan, there was often a severe generational gap.

Occasionally, a peerless genius would emerge, but they couldn't lead others.

Galaxy Lord was relatively lucky: one disciple had a special physique, and another had a cheat.

“If I have enough time, I can go there.”

As for when he would have enough time, it would probably be when he reached a point where he couldn't advance further.

“However, the secret method developed based on physique is very interesting. This Golden Mark Clan ancestor actually has the inheritance of Senior Sister’s physique.”

This was revealed by the Golden Mark ancestor during negotiations, and it was also why Galaxy Lord was willing to let go.

The Golden Mark ancestor, in his youth, unexpectedly obtained the inheritance of a previous generation’s powerhouse with this physique. The core inheritance required a special physique, while the non-core inheritance did not.

“Ask Lake.”

.........

“A special physique inheritance?”

“Exactly.”

“I’ve heard of it, but the probability is too small. A previous generation of this physique constantly researched, accidentally died and left an inheritance, and you unexpectedly obtained it—this probability is too small.”

Every step of it was enough to eliminate hundreds of millions of people.

“This Golden Mark ancestor is also lucky. Their race is relatively close to this physique, and after mutation, they traced back to the origin. Don’t even think about it for yourself. That Blood Demon, being a giant beast, even if it had an inheritance, it wouldn’t be suitable for you. Not to mention, Blood Demon himself is a hothead, a brute. How could he possibly engage in development?” Lake said.

Lin Ye was a bit disappointed.

“But there’s no need to worry. Inheritances are ultimately created by people. With your excellent talent, creating an inheritance based on your physique is not a problem. The primary task now is to first cultivate a complete Blood Demon physique.”

He hadn't even started yet.
