Qin Longfeng remained silent, but he was reluctant to leave, as he had been taking care of Qin Longxuan all these years. He was afraid that if he wasn't there, no one would look after Qin Longxuan.
"Go! Make the arrangements, then come back!" Qin Longxuan said to Qin Longfeng.
Qin Longfeng bowed to Qin Chu and Qin Longxuan, then left the inn.
After watching Qin Longfeng leave, Qin Longxuan looked Qin Chu up and down, his eyes filled with excitement.
Qin Chu took out a tea set, brewed a pot of tea, and poured a cup for Qin Longxuan.
"Qin Chu, tell me how you've been all these years, and tell me what you know," Qin Longxuan said, very interested in Qin Chu's past.
Since the Family elder wanted to hear it, Qin Chu recounted his experiences over the years and also mentioned how Elder Mo had helped him deduce his origins.
"Southern Yan State... They even chased you to Southern Yan State. Your aunt must have had it tough, but this was a bit too careless." Qin Longxuan sighed with emotion when Qin Chu mentioned being buried alive.
Qin Chu shook his head, "Back then, Qin Chu was pierced through the chest with a sword. He might have lost his Qi at that moment, otherwise, my aunt wouldn't have been so heartbroken that her black hair turned white instantly. I miss her a little. I have no impression of my parents in my heart, but I remember my aunt's appearance."
"We will meet again. Oh, and one more thing, why can't Third Uncle Grandfather feel the aura of Saint Blood on you?" Qin Longxuan asked after scrutinizing Qin Chu.
Qin Chu took off his ring and stopped the operation of the Concealing Spirit Technique, allowing Qin Longxuan to feel his Saint Blood aura.
"Quickly conceal it!" After sensing Qin Chu's aura, Qin Longxuan quickly reminded Qin Chu, fearing that other members of the Saint Clan might detect it.
After putting on his Storage Ring and activating the Concealing Spirit Technique, Qin Chu looked at Qin Longxuan. He wanted to see what Qin Longxuan would say. He still needed a Cultivation Technique for his Bloodline, and he hoped Qin Longxuan had one.
"What's the current situation with your Bloodline Cultivation? How about this! You circulate the energy within your body, and Third Uncle Grandfather will investigate," Qin Longxuan said.
After a slight hesitation, Qin Chu agreed. This was only because he was Third Uncle Grandfather, his grandfather's younger brother; no one else would do.
Grabbing Qin Chu's wrist, Qin Longxuan's energy entered Qin Chu's body. When his energy reached Qin Chu's chest, it dissipated directly.
"Saint Bone... Is that a Saint Bone of yours?" Qin Longxuan's eyes widened, for he had detected the Saint Bone in Qin Chu's chest.
"Yes, about a year ago, a bone appeared in Qin Chu's chest. Because Qin Chu Cultivates the Sword Body, it's a sword-shaped Saint Bone!" Qin Chu said.
"Our Vermilion Bird Saint Clan, the Qin lineage, is destined to rise! Come! Third Uncle Grandfather will transmit a Bloodline Cultivation Technique to you. This will facilitate the growth of your Bloodline Power and accelerate the maturation of your Saint Bone." Looking at Qin Chu, Qin Longxuan orally transmitted a Cultivation Technique.
Seeing that Qin Chu had memorized the Cultivation Technique, Qin Longxuan looked at the sky and told Qin Chu that he was leaving.
"Third Uncle Grandfather, Qin Chu will escort you back. That way, if anything happens, Qin Chu can find you," Qin Chu said.
Qin Longxuan did not refuse. He put on his cloak and left Heavenly Sword City with Qin Chu, heading to a canyon on the outskirts of Heavenly Sword Mountain.
"This is a dead end, no one comes here. Third Uncle Grandfather will reside here. If you have anything, just come over." Upon reaching the canyon where he resided, Qin Longxuan instructed Qin Chu.
Qin Chu took out some Grain-Avoiding Pills, as well as some healing Medicinal Pills and top-grade Spirit Yuan Pills from his Storage Ring.
"No need. Your Uncle Grandfather Longfeng is also an Alchemist, so how could Third Uncle Grandfather be short of Medicinal Pills!" Qin Longxuan said with a smile.
"Third Uncle Grandfather, please just accept them. It's a small token of Qin Chu's appreciation. Qin Chu will come over later." Qin Chu insisted on leaving the Medicinal Pills.
Watching Qin Chu leave, Qin Longxuan again reminded Qin Chu to hide himself well, and not to let anyone examine his body when he was not present.
Qin Chu left. This time, he had received a lot of information and had established contact with his Family. The only regret was not having news of his parents, but he felt that no news was good news, indicating that his parents were safe and had not perished.
Returning to Heavenly Sword City, it was already very late. Qin Chu returned to his residence, his heart unable to calm for a long time. Qin Longxuan's situation was too tragic; the wound on his chest was shocking.
Qin Longxuan said it was caused by the Flame Lightning energy of the Flame Lightning Saint Clan, and it was difficult to cure. However, Qin Chu also received news that he needed Flesh Ganoderma. With Flesh Ganoderma, he could refine a sixth-tier King-grade Muscle Regeneration Pill, but Flesh Ganoderma was a very rare sixth-tier Material. If it were easy to find, Qin Longfeng would have helped Qin Longxuan recover long ago.
After some thought, Qin Chu began to Cultivate. All in all, meeting Qin Longxuan was a good thing.
Over the next few days, Qin Chu consulted some ancient texts at the Alchemist Guild, searching for information about Flesh Ganoderma, but he found nothing. Qin Chu considered that if it really didn't work, he would ask Qin Longxuan if he could post a mission at Devil's Castle.
"Boss, is something on your mind? If there is, tell your brother. Your brother doesn't have great abilities, but he can help with some small things." Seeing Qin Chu distracted, Qian Xun guessed that Qin Chu had something on his mind.
Qin Chu turned to look at Qian Xun, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this matter is very difficult. I need a very high-grade Medicinal Material, even just knowing about it would be good."
"What Medicinal Material?" Qian Xun asked, looking at Qin Chu.
"Sixth-tier King-grade Flesh Ganoderma," Qin Chu said. He didn't hide it from Qian Xun. Since they were brothers, he should speak his mind. Besides, Flesh Ganoderma was a top-grade Medicinal Material that everyone wanted. Even if others knew he needed it, they wouldn't know what he needed it for. Qin Longfeng didn't dare to publicize it for fear of exposing his identity, but Qin Chu wasn't afraid; his current identity could be revealed.
"Sixth-tier King-grade Medicinal Material, I'll send a message to the Family later to see if there are any clues," Qian Xun said.
Nodding at Qian Xun, Qin Chu didn't say anything to thank him; he felt it was unnecessary.
After six stable days, Qin Chu once again came to the canyon where Qin Longxuan resided, bringing him some wine and dishes.
"Care for a drink with Third Uncle Grandfather?" Qin Longxuan was in high spirits.
Qin Chu nodded, opened the wine jar, and drank with Qin Longxuan.
"Third Uncle Grandfather, can I post a mission at Devil's Castle? To search for information about Flesh Ganoderma through a mission?" Qin Chu asked, looking at Qin Longxuan.
"Your Uncle Grandfather Longfeng also wanted to do that before, but there was a risk of exposure, and it wasn't very urgent, so Third Uncle Grandfather didn't agree. Now that you've appeared, Third Uncle Grandfather's recovery is indeed urgent, so go ahead and post the mission. However, if we directly ask for Flesh Ganoderma, we might not be able to afford the price. Let's ask for information first. Take these Spirit Stones." Qin Longxuan thought for a moment, then took out twenty Spirit Stones for Qin Chu.
"Then Qin Chu will go back and post the mission. I hope there will be news!" Qin Chu said after accepting the Spirit Stones.
