Chapter 128 The Key to the Portal
The key fell into the woman's hand. She took it steadily and then placed it in front of Qin Taihe.
“What is this…?” Qin Taihe was puzzled.
The woman coughed lightly, tears in her eyes, and choked up a little: "Do you know how your parents died?"
Qin Taihe silently clenched his fists and said, "I know. He was killed by Qin Taimo's false secret order due to a clan dispute."
"Yes, what I want to ask of you is related to this. Your mother's master, Immortal Guangyou, used up his spiritual power to save your mother, but he was unable to bring back your father's body, so he sent us this key. This key can allow you to locate and teleport there and bring back your father's body. However, that place is very dangerous. Do not activate this key until you reach the state of spiritual transformation."
The woman gently touched Qin Taihe's head and said lovingly, "This key is just a thought. Whether to go or not is up to you. I have passed the key to you, and I feel relieved. It is useless to keep this broken body. Qin Taimo and his mother are obstacles to you. I will take them with me before I leave. You have never lived in the Qintai family. I believe the clan leader will not deliberately embarrass you, a junior. So stay. My last wish is that you live well, live a long life, and cultivate to the state of incarnation in peace."
Qin Taihe was silent for a while, seemingly digesting the amount of information left by his grandmother.
He said slowly: "Grandma, Qin Taimo has been killed by me, but he was just a knife. The real murderer of my father and grandfather was someone else."
The woman was stunned. "Kill him? That's fine..."
She paused for a moment, then shook her head, her expression solemn, "He'er, promise me not to seek revenge. What happened in the previous generation is over. Cultivators fight for their lives against the heavens, and clan fights are just to gain more resources for themselves. There is no deep hatred between each other. When your grandfather died, he just didn't want to lose. If you seek revenge, your descendants will be endless, and it will really weaken the Qintai family. In the future, when you become a god, the Qintai family will have a place for you, and it will be easy for you to become the next clan leader."
The woman repeated the same thing for a long time, putting the obsession of Qin Taihe's grandfather not having successfully broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage on Qin Taihe himself, but Qin Taihe did not feel disgusted. Instead, he felt heavy in his heart.
He took the key, and the woman rubbed her brows tiredly.
Cang Lin said, "Madam, please take a rest. I will help the young master sort out the things that the master left behind."
"Okay, go ahead." The woman nodded, took off a ring from her hand, and stuffed it into Qin Taihe's hand as well, "It's a gift for the grandson, or it can be regarded as a legacy left by grandpa and grandma."
The style of this storage ring is very similar to the one left by Qin Taihe's father. Qin Taihe silently put the ring on a similar finger.
The three of them came out of the room, and the white wolf waiting outside the door came up eagerly to lick Qin Taihe's hand and rubbed him with the soft hair under its neck.
Qin Taihe's heart softened, and he said softly, "Okay, Yin Feng, you don't have to comfort me."
"This must be the white wolf left behind by the eldest master. It was just a cub when it was taken away." Cang Lin changed the subject, not wanting Qin Taihe to be immersed in that sad atmosphere.
"It turns out that Yinfeng is also from Xizhou." Qin Taihe touched Yinfeng's head and rubbed it.
"Of course, the eldest master spent a lot of effort to get this white wolf." Cang Lin said with a smile, "In addition to the storage ring that the lady gave to the young master just now, there are some things that were apparently taken away by the second young master that should also belong to you. I will help you get them back."
"Thank you, please."
"From now on, I will be your protector. You don't need to be so polite to me."
Qin Taihe looked a little hesitant when he heard this.
Ruan Xing quickly advised him, "The most important thing for you now is to obey your grandmother's last wish, live well, and live to the Spiritual Transformation Stage. Don't think about anything else."
Qin Taihe, who was already rich, suddenly inherited a fortune and became even richer. Ruan Xing was already tired of envying him, but after all, it was someone else's legacy, and Qin Taihe's life experience was quite miserable, so she was not greedy in that aspect. She just really wanted that key.
Grandmother didn't avoid them when she gave the instructions just now, and she herself didn't know where the key was pointing to. She only knew that after activating the key, she would be teleported to that place.
She couldn't guarantee that this key could transport multiple people at once, and she couldn't guarantee that Qin Taihe would be with her when he activated the key. She could only worry.
Fortunately, Qin Taihe would not be able to use the key before he became a spirit, so she still had time to plan. After the others left, less than half an incense stick of time had passed.
There was a commotion coming from the southeast corner of the yard, and several mortal servants ran out in panic.
"Oh no!"
"The Madam is dead! The eldest Madam beat the Madam to death!"
Qin Taihe planned to go in that direction upon hearing that, but was stopped by Cang Lin.
"You can't go." Cang Lin said, "Don't get involved in this. I'll handle this matter. When the clan is done, you can think of it as me looking for you because I didn't want to be reassigned within the clan. They won't look into this kind of thing."
In this case, all the responsibility lies with grandmother and Cang Lin. Qin Taihe is completely innocent, and the clan leader has no reason to embarrass him because of old matters.
Even if he stayed in the clan to continue practicing, the resources he enjoyed would not be worse than those in the Xuanbing Sect.
Qintaihe stopped and Canglin left in a hurry.
His eyes were dark, and he whispered, "Because I came to Xizhou, they died. Is this a good thing?"
"Of course it's a good thing." Ruan Xing said, "Don't look at what others have lost, but what you have gained. If you hadn't come to Xizhou, you would never know the truth about the death of your relatives. Wouldn't you feel bad? And if you hadn't come, would your grandmother have been unwilling to die and couldn't close her eyes? You helped her fulfill her last wish and got the property that originally belonged to you. You also have the motivation and goal to live. It's a win-win situation!"
Qin Taihe was stunned and said, "You are right."
He turned to look at Ruan Xing, "But you accompanied me on this trip, not only can't you return to the sect openly, but you also helped me so much, but got nothing in return. I really feel guilty. You should stay too. The resources in my storage ring are enough for both of us to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage."
Hiss - sharing the inheritance with her? Not a good idea.
But you can use it in the next simulation.
Ruan Xing was touched and said, "That was something your family left for you. How could I have the nerve to use it? Brother, if you really want to thank me, let me see the key. I really want to see the things left by Guixu Immortal Lord."
The place that the key leads to is very dangerous, and the only thing that can be obtained is the body of Qin Taihe's father. Qin Taihe did not suspect anything and took out the key to show Ruan Xing without hesitation.
Ruan Xing took the handle and played with it for a while. It was cold to the touch, but not chilly, and there was no trace of spiritual energy in it. Apart from the fact that the material looked mysterious and unrecognizable, there was nothing special about it.
Although my grandmother said that Immortal Guangyou left this key only to make it convenient for Qintai’s family to take back Qintai Gu’s body, and did not say that he left behind any inheritance or magic to bring the dead back to life, he is Immortal Guixu after all, and everything he said is clear and understandable, so how can he be so cold?
The Qintai family are outsiders, not his own disciples, so the Immortal King may not leave behind anything precious, but since he left behind that book of magic, it is impossible that there is only one book of magic. So this trip still has to be made, but Ruan Xing's expectations for the inheritance there have been lowered a lot.
If we just wait until the Spirit Transformation Stage... that would be too long, and I don't know what kind of danger the Immortal Lord is talking about.
Ruan Xing's mind moved, and the spiritual power in his body was drawn into the key in his hand. A layer of ice-blue runes appeared on the surface of the key, almost draining all the spiritual power in Ruan Xing's body. Finally, the runes expanded into a blue halo.
Qin Taihe looked at her in shock, "Are you crazy? It's very dangerous in here. Grandma said that it can't be activated unless you reach the state of Spirit Transformation!"
Ruan Xing shrugged and turned his wrist to make the key float in his palm. "But the key did not disappear. It is not a disposable item."
"So what? How do we close this door?" Qin Taihe frowned. If such a large blue light door was placed here and a mortal servant in the mansion accidentally entered it, his life would be lost in vain.
"This door was opened with spiritual power. It probably won't last long before it automatically closes. As for now, I want to go in and take a look."
Under Qin Taihe's incredulous gaze, Ruan Xing stepped into the light gate.
