After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

After a long while, Master Jia finally recounted, weakly and listlessly, everything that had happened.

After hearing the whole story, the white-haired old man's eyes brightened, and he became much more energetic.

"Junior brother, you said that person isn't very old?"

"Hmm." Master Jia sighed and nodded, "It looks like he's no more than twenty."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man's astonishment deepened, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Such talent at such a young age! We must find him at our Pill Peak!"

With that, he took Master Jia's hand and walked out of the hall.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?"

Master Jia shook off the white-haired old man's hand.

"What do you want to do? Of course, we're going to Fallen Leaf Peak!"

The white-haired old man glared at Master Jia and said irritably, "You're not unaware of the current situation of our Pill Peak. We absolutely cannot miss out on such a talented disciple!"

Master Jia hesitated for a moment, but quickly turned his head away. “If you want to go, go ahead, senior brother. I’m not going. If I go, I’ll have to call you ‘father.’ I’m not that stupid.”

"Is your pride more important, or the life and death of Danfeng?"

The white-haired old man's face showed anger. "Have you forgotten all the humiliations your master suffered back then?"

Upon hearing the white-haired old man's words, Master Jia fell silent, his eyes dimming.

Seeing Master Jia's expression, the white-haired old man snorted coldly, "It seems you haven't completely forgotten. Then I'll remind you all of it!"

Fourteen years ago, our master lost to their lineage and had to hand over his inheritance.

Nine years ago, the five of us brothers went to keep the appointment, and we were defeated by their lineage as well!

It was only after Master knelt down and begged for mercy that five people went and two returned. From then on, Master's hair turned white overnight!

Four years ago, our Danfeng disciples lost to their faction again. This time, all the disciples who went to keep the appointment died there!

Upon hearing this news, our revered master was overcome with grief and passed away on the spot!

At this point, the white-haired old man took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "Jia Dahai! There is still one year left until the next agreed date. If we lose to them again, our lineage will be completely wiped out!"

Not only will all the shame remain unwashed, but he'll also have to go down and accompany his master. Tell me, what will you, Jia Dahai, say when you see him?

At this moment, Jia Dahai was already in tears, his face full of pain, as if he was recalling some unpleasant past events.

After a long while, Jia Dahai finally calmed down and looked at the white-haired old man, saying, "Senior brother, how can you be so sure that this kid can beat that lineage?"

The white-haired old man said in a deep voice, "I don't know if we can win or not, but we certainly have a great chance!"

"why?"

"because this!"

The white-haired old man picked up the blood-red spiritual herb in his hand. "Because of the name Blood Jade Coral, I once saw it when the inheritance was still around."

It contains this name, and this way of addressing someone exists only in the upper realms!

Upon hearing this, Jia Dahai's pupils shrank, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

After a long while, he sighed and said softly, "Senior brother, I understand. I don't care about saving face. I'll go with you!"

...

Fallen Leaf Peak.

After two hours of harvesting, Qin Chuan finally put all the spiritual herbs and medicines from this depression into the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Furnace space.

"Huh! What's this?"

Suddenly, Qin Chuan frowned slightly and looked at a spot in the depression.

On the completely turned-over black soil, a small part of a black object was sticking out.

It gleamed with a cold light under the sunlight.

Qin Chuan walked forward out of curiosity and dug it out, only to find that it was just a chain.

After tossing the black chain around, Qin Chuan didn't find anything unusual, so he casually tossed it aside.

"wrong!"

Just after throwing out the chain, Qin Chuan's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked at his palm, which was covered in a faint layer of white frost.

chill!

In an instant, Qin Chuan understood why there was frost on his hands; it was all due to the cold air.

At the same time, he picked up the chain again and suddenly asked, "Senior Yaoxi, do you know what this chain is made of?"

Empress Yaoxi said, "Nine Netherworld Black Iron."

Qin Chuan frowned, "Nine Netherworld Iron?"

This was the first time he had ever heard the name "Nine Nether Profound Iron".

I initially thought it was just ordinary black iron. If it weren't for the white frost that had formed on my hands, I wouldn't have been able to notice anything unusual about the chain.

Empress Yaoxi nodded and said, "There is a place in the Upper Realm called the Nine Nether Lands, and the black ore in the Nine Nether Lands is this Nine Nether Profound Iron."

Legend has it that the center of the Nine Netherworld is covered with this Nine Netherworld Profound Iron; anyone of low cultivation level who gets close will instantly freeze into a block of ice!

Her voice held a hint of surprise, clearly indicating that she didn't quite understand why there was a chain made of Netherworld Black Iron here.

Upon hearing Empress Yaoxi's words, Qin Chuan's eyes lit up. Although he still didn't understand what it was, he was glad to know that it wasn't an ordinary thing.

Just as Qin Chuan held the black chain in his hand for a moment, he noticed that a large patch of frost had condensed on his palm.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, realizing that his current physical body was still capable of such a feat.

If it were someone else, the situation would likely be even worse.

Just as Qin Chuan was about to channel spiritual energy into the black chains, he decided to take a closer look at this thing.

He suddenly frowned and quickly threw the chains into the space of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace.

Because someone has arrived!

Seeing two old men walking towards him from a distance, one after the other, Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Well, my good son, are you convinced now?"

One of the two old men was none other than Master Jia, who had returned after leaving earlier.

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Jia Dahai's body stiffened, and the muscles on his face twitched.

It was only by pulling him along that he managed to reach Qin Chuan.

The white-haired old man didn't speak, but turned his head and quietly looked at Jia Dahai.

Seeing this, Jia Dahai took a deep breath and mentally prepared himself.

At one point, he suddenly shouted, "Father! I'm here!"

The sound was deafening, and birds and beasts took flight in fright!

Qin Chuan's lips twitched, and he almost fainted.

It's incredibly awkward when an old man nearing the end of his life calls out to his father.

Qin Chuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. Since you already know you made a mistake, let's just let this matter go. Just don't come to Falling Leaf Peak again."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man beside him showed a hint of admiration in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the other party's good character, for not being unforgiving even when he was in the right.

"no!"

Jia Dahai shook his head.
