Chapter 130: Chapter 102: Lifespan is Almost Depleted, Dying Fast!_4

“`

“The Forbidden Land was indeed breached by thieves, and the Dragon Vein Stones were plundered completely.”

“I had originally kept one Dragon Vein Stone to forge a Magic Artifact for myself, but now I won’t keep it either. I’ll give it to my nephew.”

Having said that, he took out a two-foot-long Jade Box from his bosom and handed it over.

“Hmm.”

The Qu Family Master’s face finally looked a bit better. Although one was not as good as nine, it was certainly better than none. He waved his hand to signal the servants to take the Jade Box before frowning and asking, “Did you not catch the thief?”

“Your Poison Sect’s Forbidden Land shouldn’t be so easy to breach, right? Could the culprit just leave without a trace?”

“No.”

Sect Leader Qiu spoke with eyes full of painful anger, “That thief didn’t leave any trace behind, very slick with the escape. I’ve already offered a hefty reward for the Taoist Sect to help me retrace the scene.”

“We will soon know who the thief is!”

“No matter who the thief is, I will certainly tear him into pieces and let the thief taste what it’s like to be devoured by all kinds of poisons!!!”

“No one can take my things for free in this world!”

“…”

Qu Family Master looked up emotionlessly at Sect Leader Qiu and said, “Were you hinting at me? Someone, bring a Xuan-grade Storage Ring.”

“Not at all.”

Upon hearing ‘Xuan-grade Storage Ring,’ Sect Leader Qiu’s face immediately filled with a smile. He nodded his head, quite satisfied.

It was said that in the Qu family’s accounts, there were more than a dozen shelves filled with Storage Rings.

Different Storage Rings contained different quantities of Spirit Stones.

Ranked from highest to lowest, they were Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang.

The Xuan-grade Storage Ring contained quite a few Spirit Stones. Although a large number of Dragon Vein Stones were lost, it was, after all, a bit of blood returned, and once the Taoist Sect found out the result, those Dragon Vein Stones might still be recoverable.

Upon departing.

Qu Family Master gazed earnestly at Sect Leader Qiu, “Tell the Taoist Sect to speed up their work and find the lost Dragon Vein Stones as soon as possible. My son is preparing to take one of the top three spots in the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard and then use these materials to forge a Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure that perfectly fits him.”

“You know how rare this opportunity is.”

“This is a matter concerning my son’s lifetime. If it can be made perfect, we must strive for perfection. I don’t want my son to have any regrets. Nine Dragon Vein Stones are certainly better than one, so I’ll have to trouble Sect Leader Qiu to put in extra effort.”

“Once the matter is dealt with, there will be a hefty reward!”

“Rest assured.”

Sect Leader Qiu also nodded solemnly in agreement, saying, “Qu Qi is like my own nephew, whom I’ve watched grow up. His matters are my matters. As his uncle, I will naturally do my utmost.”

…

Upon the Boundless Icefield.

Aboard a rather luxurious Flying Boat, a young man lay shirtless on a long chair, casting a lazy glance at the Icefield outside the Flying Boat, his mouth slightly open to swallow a grape that a maid peeled with her slender jade hands and passed to him.

Impatiently waving his hand, he said, “Speed it up. Every extra moment spent in this godforsaken place is a waste of life.”

“If it weren’t for that old man at home who insisted I come here to retrieve some Magic Practitioner’s inheritance, I would never have come to this lousy place.”

“Yes.”

The servants around him nodded in agreement, and they pretended not to hear the disrespectful words the young master had for the old man.

“What a bore…”

The young man, shirtless and lying on the long chair inside the Flying Boat, thought about finding some fun after he started heading back. There was a Spiritual Energy Shield outside the Flying Boat, maintaining a constant temperature inside, so the cold outside couldn’t affect the inside of the Flying Boat.

His name was Qu Qi.

He had crossed into this world three years ago.

At first, he was quite frightened–a completely unfamiliar world, and there were Immortals. One could be killed at any moment. But he quickly realized that… his life seemed pretty good this time.

In his father’s eyes, he was the only son who had been foolish for seventeen years and had suddenly come back to his senses.

“`

That was an incredibly good fortune.

To him, it was a hundredfold adoration. In just three years of effort, he broke through from a mortal body to the early stages of Golden Core, and he barely even suffered. Is cultivating supposed to be exhausting?

He was even too lazy to think about what he needed.

Anyway, whether he thought of it or not, he had it all.

The Heavenly Dao Beauties that ordinary people couldn’t even dream of meeting in their lifetimes–he had five of them, and he didn’t even know what he was lacking.

All he had to do was lie down every day, and he became what the world saw as a Golden Core Great Power.

It was that simple, without any difficulty.

“I have to go back to face that old immortal again…”

Lying on the couch, Qu Qi murmured absent-mindedly. If there was anything painful, it was that his cheap father liked to have a heart-to-heart with him. Every time they met again after a separation, he always seemed to want to sit down for a long chat.

But toward this cheap father, he could say he felt no affection at all.

Every time he saw the other’s face full of fat, he felt disgusted.

Just at that moment–

A Divine Sense came from above the Flying Boat; it was the Qu Family’s Supreme Elder.

“A hundred miles away, there’s a group of people delving deep into the Boundless Icefield. It looks like they’re heading for the Inheritance Secret Realm.”

“Don’t bother with them.”

Qu Qi shook his head, “There are always some so-called geniuses in this world who overestimate themselves. Not to talk about others, that once first Sword Cultivator of Da Xia, Bai Yi, is said to have gone several times, yet he also failed to obtain the sword cultivation inheritance, didn’t he?”

“Genius is the most worthless thing in this world.”

“Some people are born standing at the peak of the world.”

“This gap in status can’t be made up for by mere effort.”

…

…

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth and without saying a word, the Qu Family’s Supreme Elder with Golden Core Peak cultivation on the Flying Boat had many times wanted to strangle this damned Qu Qi to death!

So what if you’re a transmigrator? Who the hell do you think you are showing off!

It’s just a bit of luck that gave you the audacity to flaunt it all day.

But he didn’t dare.

The good news was, he transmigrated as a Golden Core Peak cultivator, almost invincible in this world!

The bad news, his life was nearly at an end, damn near dead!

Every bit of Spiritual Energy he used up was consuming the last of his lifespan. He even suspected that it was only when the original body was on the brink of death that he transmigrated. Although he didn’t die after transmigration, it was pretty close.

He was now barely hanging on to a thread of life, hoping someone could successfully cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, so with the help of the Qu Family, he too could achieve Nascent Soul and extend his life a little.

He transmigrated a month earlier than Qu Qi.

At first, he was in closed-door meditation, so no one noticed anything unusual about him, but he saw all of Qu Qi’s oddities and monologues, realizing his secret instantly. He just chose not to expose it.

Wait until he achieved Nascent Soul one day!

The first thing he would do is slap Qu Qi to death!

Just to let this beast know, the gap in cultivation can’t be compensated for by a difference in status!
