Chapter 296: Harvesting the "Father Value"!
"What is this thing?"
Senior Brother Jin looked at Qin Zi with a solemn expression.
He didn’t expect that Junior Brother Qin asked him to pick up a bar of soap, and then such a thing happened.
This definitely has something to do with Junior Brother Qin!
"Just a little anomaly, nothing to worry about."
Qin Zi smiled easily.
Senior Brother Jin was not foolish; seeing Qin Zi’s expression, he immediately knew there was something fishy about it.
The black energy clearly wasn’t anything good. Now that half of it had entered Junior Brother Qin’s body, it was definitely Junior Brother Qin helping him share the burden!
Moreover, he felt that after half of the black energy was taken, he felt much lighter, as if an invisible mountain that had been weighing on his heart was removed, and the sunlight shone down once more.
"Junior Brother Qin... thank you."
Senior Brother Jin, not knowing what else to say, trembled and spoke those three words after a brief silence.
A simple thank you, filled with deep emotion.
"There’s no need for that between us."
Qin Zi waved his hand with a smile and raised his eyebrows, "Now that the problem is solved, the White Crane King won’t stop you from being with your sister-in-law anymore."
Senior Brother Jin’s face turned red, and he stammered, "You... don’t talk nonsense... she might not even be interested in me."
My senior brother, overly modest!
To this, Qin Zi just smiled without saying a word.
After a long while, Qin Zi said, "Senior Brother Jin, my father and I have some things to attend to, so we need to leave first. If you don’t have any special matters, try not to leave the White Crane Celestial Palace."
"Why can’t I leave?"
Senior Brother Jin asked in surprise, then suddenly recalled the previous scene and asked, "Is it because of that black energy skull?"
"Mm."
Qin Zi nodded and said seriously, "That thing is very dangerous. If you stay in the White Crane Celestial Palace, with the White Crane King’s fortune and influence, you’ll be much safer... Of course, you don’t have to worry about me, I have my father."
The last four words were full of confidence!
In Qin Xiaozhu’s mind, as long as his father was there, there would be no problems; no schemes or evil spirits could come near him.
This was an undeniable truth.
One he personally validated!
"Alright then, I wish you a safe journey."
Senior Brother Jin said with some reluctance.
"Don’t worry."
Qin Zi shrugged with a smile.
The two of them looked at each other for a while, and then, just before turning away, suddenly turned back and embraced tightly.
This parting marked the beginning of a journey.
Not only a physical journey but also a journey of the heart.
Because, unknowingly, they had both grown up, and the past could not be revisited, and they each had to forge their own paths...
...
After a long time, Qin Chuan officially bid farewell to the White Crane King with Qin Zi, then departed from the White Crane Celestial Palace.
As for the White Crane King’s kindness to Qin Zi, Qin Chuan didn’t leave any compensation but instead left behind a vague promise.
"I owe you a favor!"
It’s akin to writing a blank check, but the powerhouses of this world actually like such things!
In their eyes, treasures have a price, but favors are priceless. Obtaining a favor from a super powerhouse is more valuable than anything.
Sigh, the world of the strong is just this kind of "empty."
Qin Chuan admitted he had freeloaded a bit; he couldn’t help it, as he was short on resources and couldn’t bring out anything good.
With his current cultivation, even gifting the Emperor’s Artifact, the Ice Dragon Spear, to the White Crane King would seem low-grade.
And the other party wouldn’t care for it.
Since that was the case, why not make a grand gesture and issue a blank check? It both solved the urgent issue and boosted his prestige.
"Dad, where are we going?"
In the sky, Qin Zi asked.
"Well, with my current strength in the Nine Skies World, I have few rivals, so it’s time to fulfill what I promised your master."
Qin Chuan said.
"You’re going to help master rebuild her body?!"
Qin Zi was overjoyed, his face flushed with excitement, feeling a strong urge to try.
"Yes, but to forge a perfect body, a lot of rare materials are required. This time, we’re going to search for these materials."
Qin Chuan said calmly.
"Do you have any leads?" Qin Zi asked.
Qin Chuan nodded and said:
"I got the specific locations of these rare materials from the White Crane King. Now we just need to retrieve them."
As he spoke, he tossed a booklet to Qin Zi. Qin Zi opened it and was stunned.
"Nine-Colored Auspicious Fungus contains abundant life force with infinite regeneration capabilities, held by the Beast Race King, the Golden Roc King!"
"Water of Life, capable of reviving the dead, can merge body and Divine Soul, held by the Demon Race Snow Demon Ancestor!"
"Rootless Red Dragon can harmonize yin and yang and awaken the red dragon within a woman, held by the Demon Race Mountain-Moving Ancestor."
"Life Source Seed contains the essence of life, capable of restoring a woman’s fertility, held by the Human Race’s Hall Master of the Nine Nether Hall!"
"Ten Thousand Marvelous Black Mushroom..."
Looking at the long list of information, Qin Zi breathed heavily, because all these treasures had owners!
And they were all figures who had surpassed the realm of the Martial Emperor, true super existences standing at the pinnacle of the Nine Skies World.
"Dad, you wouldn’t be planning to... raid all these pinnacle powerhouses, would you?"
Qin Zi asked cautiously.
He felt a bit excited but also somewhat fearful.
After all, being too reckless can easily lead to disaster, a truth he had verified many times.
"No."
Qin Chuan shook his head and said calmly:
"Stealing from others directly is too unseemly and might arouse public indignation. It may even provoke some old monsters who have been hidden for countless years. It wouldn’t be worth it."
"Then what are you going to do?"
Qin Zi asked in confusion.
"Gamble with them."
Qin Chuan said matter-of-factly: "I’ll take you to challenge them at their doors, letting their junior prodigies have a fair fight with you. If their young couldn’t defeat you, they would hand over what I want."
Qin Zi’s face froze.
All this time.
No way.
He shrank back slightly and asked nervously, "What if I lose?"
Qin Chuan glanced at him, his gaze extremely stern, and said in a deep voice: "With such exceptional conditions at your disposal, how could you possibly lose?"
Qin Zi shivered!
It was the first time he felt that his father’s gaze was so frightening, even carrying a hint of coldness, along with a slight... disappointment.
Indeed!!
How could he ask such a question? How could he be so lacking in ambition? So lacking in courage?
Born with a Divine Body!
Martial Fortune!
Primal Qi of All Things!
Three Pieces of Dao Bone!
Beast God’s Heart!
Shocking bloodlines from the Upper Realm!
With so many extraordinary things bestowed upon a single person, shouldn’t he be able to sweep through everything?!
He was still pondering what would happen if he lost, truly so hopeless even he felt ashamed of himself.
He took a deep breath and, with guilt, said:
"Dad, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be so spineless... Don’t worry, I will definitely sweep through all my peers!"
Qin Chuan nodded, placing his right hand on the top of his cheap son’s head, and a smile gradually appeared on his serious face.
"That’s the spirit."
"To become a strong warrior, you must have the heart of invincibility and fearlessness. Of course, I want you to take action mainly to let you contribute personally to your master because, over the years, you seem to have overlooked this aspect, which is really a source of great shame."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zi shivered again.
It turned out that his father had this deeper intention, something he had overlooked.
"This time is actually a trial for you. The people you will fight are all truly talented figures, and to make them genuinely convinced, you have to earn their respect."
Qin Zi heard this, and instead of being afraid, he was excited and nodded.
Qin Chuan continued with satisfaction.
Why would he allow his opponents’ cultivation level to be higher than his?
It’s because only the most outstanding geniuses, who pride themselves on being more powerful than Qin Xiaozhu, upon being defeated, will produce the valuable Will to Compete!
After all, the purpose of organizing this "Nine Heavens World Gambling Tour" is to mercilessly reap a wave of Will to Compete!
