183: Zhen's Reward

However, Tang Tian had not thought that far ahead; his current requirement was Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, while Zhen Qu was already thinking about the Golden Core...

Tang Tian said, "Wait, are you saying I can reach Foundation Establishment directly, without even needing to overcome the Lightning Tribulation?"

Zhen Qu said, "Otherwise? This Pill Formula was obtained by my grandfather from a Secret Realm."

Tang Tian recalled that the Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword given by Mr. Zhu was also obtained in a Secret Realm; it seems there really are good things in Secret Realms...

The Spiritual Qi in the Zhen Family was very abundant, feeling as if it were above a Spiritual Vein. Tang Tian had previously thought the Immortal Cave of Chi Daizi had plenty of spiritual power, but now it seemed it still could not compare.

The younger generation of the Zhen Family all knew that Tang Tian was here to help Zhen Qu, and none of them had any objections, proving that Zhen Qu still held great authority among the younger generation.

However, although they were called the younger generation, every one of them was older than Tang Tian.

Tang Tian asked, "Is that place very far?"

Zhen Qu said, "No, it's just ahead."

Tang Tian: "..."

Soon, Tang Tian and Zhen Qu entered a room where there were two people, one of whom was an old man who looked very young.

Clearly, he was using Spiritual Qi to control his aging.

The other person was clearly the head of the Zhen Family, with a Foundation Establishment second level cultivation base; it was obvious he was using that kind of Medicinal Pill.

There was a sense of Death Qi on his body; it seemed the Zhen Family had truly declined.

The old man among them opened his eyes and said, "Zhen Qu, is this the Cultivator you brought back?"

Zhen Qu said, "Grandfather, this is the Cultivator who killed the people from the City Lord's Mansion, and he is also a Disciple of Mr. Zhu."

Mr. Zhu, that is, Zhu He.

The old man said, "I know Zhu He, but I do not want to get involved in the affairs of you Wen Xiu. Since that is the case, how about I use books on Wen Xiu as a reward this time?"

Tang Tian said, "Do you have any books on Martial Energy? I am a Martial Cultivator."

The old man shook his head and said, "Cultivation Techniques for the Martial Examination are unique to the Great Lin Dynasty; we Cultivators cannot touch them. Then, let one of your spirit pets awaken its third Bloodline."

"Or, within the forty years I have left to live, I can erase the two strands of Divine Sense within your body, help you deal with the owner of that Qi Training Ninth Level Divine Sense, and protect you so that the Foundation Establishment Cultivator cannot kill you."

Senior Brother is in danger. Tang Tian asked, "Can't you kill him?"

The old man said, "That Foundation Establishment Cultivator is very strong; I cannot kill him."

Then it would be better to wait until he reached the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment; after reaching the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, killing Chi Daizi would be as easy as turning over one's hand.

Tang Tian said, "Then let's have one of my spirit pets awaken its third Bloodline."

Tang Tian glanced at Great Yellow and said, "It's this one."

Great Yellow was currently being lovey-dovey with Little Spirit Rice, and Tang Tian could not bear to look.

However, this Little Spirit Rice really suited Great Yellow.

However, Tang Tian felt that Great Yellow and Zhen Qu were quite fated; the Bloodline Awakening was related to Zhen Qu, and its wife was also found with Zhen Qu's help.

The old man said, "That is acceptable..."

Tang Tian said, "What do I need to do in this Bloodline Legacy pool?"

The old man said, "Battle, five days of non-stop battle. And once Zhen Qu is affected by the battle, then Zhen Qu's Bloodline Legacy will end."

Tang Tian said, "Do I only need to guard one side?"

The old man said, "You must guard all directions."

Tang Tian said, "Can I bring my pet?"

The old man said, "Only one person is allowed. If the Bloodline Legacy pool detects more than two people, the Secret Realm will end."

Tang Tian thought about it; this was indeed somewhat difficult. With attacks coming from all directions and no pet, it was truly hard.

The old man said, "Fellow Daoist, if you do not wish to participate, we are unwilling to force you. Zhen Qu will then enter into a marriage alliance with the Xu Family, and you can take fifty thousand Spirit Stones and leave."

"I also hope you will not spread word of this matter."

Zhen Qu looked at Tang Tian with some sadness and said, "Fellow Daoist, if you feel it is too much, you can leave now."

Tang Tian said, "Since I have promised you, I will naturally not break my word. If you are willing to trust me, I will naturally do my utmost..."

The old man said, "I have experience entering the Bloodline Legacy pool. The last time, a female Cultivator entered with me, and after we came out, she became my Dao Companion, so..."

This sentence from the Old Ancestor had a deep meaning, proving that good things would happen after entering.

Tang Tian looked at Zhen Qu at this moment and said, "Then why did you ask me? I am a male Cultivator."

Zhen Qu's appearance was on par with Senior Sister Liu, but Zhen Qu was fuller than Senior Sister Liu; she could not see her toes when looking down.

Zhen Qu blushed and said, "But you are young; you can choose not to proceed before you are eighteen. The Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation Legacy does not have to be inherited."

The old man and the head of the Zhen Family were also very satisfied with Tang Tian. After all, which Disciple of a Foundation Establishment Family didn't have a little Genius at the Qi Refinement stage eight before the age of twenty?

They just didn't want their own "little cabbage" to be trampled upon.

And if the strongest person in the Zhen Family were a male Cultivator, there wouldn't be so many complications, and there wouldn't be an opportunity for Tang Tian...

Tang Tian said, "That is for the best."

After all, Tang Tian was only eleven years old now; he should just focus on being a child cultivating immortality.

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are only eleven years old and have already reached the Lianqi Seventh Level; you are truly a Genius. I see that you have already performed the fifth opening of your acupoints."

"The Medicinal Pills in this storage ring are those that my Zhen Family has collected over the years; there are one million Medicinal Pills inside. Fellow Daoist, you may use them at will, and just return them to my Zhen Family after you are finished."

Tang Tian was shocked after hearing this; he was worthy of being a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to be able to see even how many times he had opened his acupoints.

The old man took the storage ring off his hand and handed it over. Tang Tian took the storage ring and roughly glanced at the Medicinal Pills; there were dense, countless Medicinal Pills inside, and he said, "I will definitely do my utmost."

Tang Tian then asked, "Are you not afraid that I might hoard some Medicinal Pills?"

The old man said, "I am not afraid; I trust you, Fellow Daoist."

Tang Tian nodded; it seemed the Zhen Family trusted him quite a bit.

Tang Tian asked, "Why do you trust me so much?"

The old man said, "Because we have a feud with the City Lord's Mansion."

No wonder...

Tang Tian placed the ring on his hand and said to Great Yellow and Wuqi, "Great Yellow, Wuqi, we will be back in five days; you stay here."

Great Yellow and Wuqi let out a howl, indicating they understood. Great Yellow seemed a bit reluctant to leave, but it still howled a few more times to cheer Tang Tian on.

The old man and the head of the Zhen Family looked at Zhen Qu with worried expressions, while Little Cold watched with a cold expression.

The old man said, "Fellow Daoist, you still have a pet that you haven't put down."

Tang Tian looked stunned. The old man pointed out the Little Ant that had been collected earlier, which was placed on Great Yellow's head by Zhen Qu.

Tang Tian was startled and said, "I almost forgot about Little Ant."

Tang Tian said apologetically, "Little Ant, you stay here; after I come out, I will give you good things."

The "good things" mentioned here were naturally the hallucination intellect beast heart grass to feed Little Ant, allowing it to awaken its intelligence.

This Little Ant was really something; it had been on Tang Tian's shoulder for so long without making a sound. But Little Ant was so small that Tang Tian probably wouldn't hear it even if it did make a sound...
