“What are you doing, you rascal?!”

Seeing this, the old master, who was squatting on the ground, sprang to his feet and scolded Xiong Qifan. “I’m not dead yet, and you are already in such a hurry to inherit the family heirloom?”

“Tm telling you… you…”

The word “you” was dragged on and the rest of his words trailed off.

‘The old man’s eyes widened as he stared blankly at the beeswax that Xiong Qifan was holding in the air.

Under the light from the bedroom’s ceiling lamp, the center of the beeswax suddenly began turning transparent.

The outline of a strange-looking ring was revealed.

It glimmered under the light.

“This… this is…” The old master’s mouth dropped open in disbelief.” Is this… the secret?”

Gulp!

The old man swallowed hard.

‘There was a secret in the beeswax heirloom, this was something that the safekeeper of every generation knew.

However, no one knew what exactly the secret was.

However, as soon as he gave it to Xiong Qifan, the latter discovered the secret and immediately revealed it.

Could… could this be the will of the heavens?

The old man murmured to himself at this thought.

In comparison, Xiong Qifan was flushed with joy.

Had it not been for his good composure, he would have burst out laughing the moment he saw the outline of the ring.

‘The Flying Lion Ring!

He couldn’t believe he obtained the other half of the Flying Lion Ring so easily.

This half of the Flying Lion Ring had been pa.s.sed down through his ancestors.

Great-grandmother.

No, since the old man called her great-grandmother. When it came to him, she would be his great-great-grandmother.

Come to think of it, it was only more than a hundred years ago that this half of the Flying Lion Ring came into the possession of the Xiongs.

Such methods of handing down heirlooms to daughters were rare in ancient times.

But, correspondingly, it was also safer.

After all, a married daughter was like poured-out water.

In ancient times, married daughters rarely returned to their maiden homes.

Handing a family heirloom to a daughter was akin to throwing it away.

‘Who would have thought that the beeswax that stored half of the Flying Lion Ring would be pa.s.sed down through such a method?

If this daughter was not well-liked, or if she never returned home after getting married, all news about it would be lost.

Anyone who knew about the Flying Lion Ring would have no way of investigating its whereabouts!

Of course, there were also dangers lurking behind the Flying Lion Ring.

‘The keeper of the other half of the Flying Lion Rin that was previously exposed was brutally murdered.

Xiong Qifan didn’t want his family to suffer the same fate.

At this thought, he forced himself to regain his composure. Putting away the beeswax, he said sternly to the old man, “Dad, you and I are the only ones who know about the secret of the family heirloom. You must not tell anyone about this! It involves…”

Thud!

The old man who was equally tall and burly gave Xiong Qifan a quick smack on the head.

“Do I need you to tell me?”

‘The old man cursed irritably. “This has been in my hands for more than 20 years. If I wanted to tell anyone, would I have kept it a secret until today?”

“Yes, yes! You are the best!”

Xiong Qifan gave a sheepish smile. “I was just giving you a reminder, I was afraid you might have forgotten. The ring in this beeswax has something to do with a major event. A lot of people have died because of it.”

“Hmph!” sneered the old master dismissively. “I may only be a ninth-grade martial artist and not as strong as you, but I’ve seen bloodshed before. Would I be scared just because a few people have died?”

Lo

“alright, enough with the bullsh*t.” Xiong Qifan was about to say something when the old man cut him off with a wave of his hand. “Anyway, now that this thing is in your hands, you can do whatever you want with it. From now on, it has nothing to do with me!”

With that, he squatted down, closed the trunk, and put it back under the bed. Then, he turned around and left the bedroom.

Xiong Qifan was left alone, scratching his head while grinning.

After a while, he smacked his head, took out his phone, and dialed the number Gu Zhanlin had left behind.

The Flying Lion Ring was a hot potato.

For every day it remained in his hands, it would be an additional day of trouble.

‘The fastest way to ensure the safety of the family was to hand it over as quickly as possible and do some slight publicizing.

This half of the Flying Lion Ring would be the safest with the Prefecture Army.

After all, how many people dared to steal from the Changyang Prefecture Army?

Qinghe City.

Ina small courtyard at the foot of the Western District mountain.

$u Jingxing, who had returned home, had no idea that the other half of the Flying Lion Ring had emerged and was quickly being transferred to the Changyang Prefecture Army.

As soon as he got back, he took out the cards he had extracted from the Ranch Town.

He held them in his hands and read their descriptions.

In the end, he discovered that there were 14, Martial Arts Practice Cards, with either two or three years of practice time.

It seemed that it hadn’t been long since He Quanshui created those Corpse Puppets.

Then there were the Requiem Cards. There were nine of them. He didn’t now if they were from people who were scared to death.

Then there were the Internal Force Cards. A total of 11 cards, with three to 10 years of cultivation.

There were also two True Energy Cards, one of which contained 15 years of cultivation.

This card most likely came from He Quanshui’s corpse.

Finally, there were many Essence Energy Cards, Strength Enhancement Cards, and other Life Skill Cards,

‘The Memory Card that Su Jingxing wanted the most finally appeared at the end.

It contained 25 years of memories of a man named He Quanmen.

He was He Quanshui’s younger cousin.

Even though they were cousins, he was on good terms with He Quanshui, as though they were biological brothers.

Because of this, Su Jingxing was finally able to “see” the He Family’s secret through He Quanmen’s memories!

The He Family had kept such a low profile for the past 400 years that few knew about them.

Outsiders thought they had done so on purpose.

They didn’t want to be high-profile and attract attention. The fewer people knew about them, the less trouble there would be.

In truth, it wasn’t that the He Family wanted to keep a low profile, but that they didn’t dare not to!

First of all, one of the He Family’s ancestors had an astonis.h.i.+ng ident.i.ty.

More than 400 years ago, the He Family’s ancestor was the military chef of the Rising Dragon Saber King, Liu Chenglong.

He was not an ordinary fireman; he was a dedicated chef who served Liu Chenglong alone.

As Liu Chenglong cultivated a martial art, he needed special food.

As a result, the He Family’s ancestor became the lucky guy.

He followed Liu Chenglong wherever he went.

Such a private chef was a trusted aide among trusted aides.

As time pa.s.sed, Liu Chenglong would casually give some pointers on martial arts to the He Family’s ancestor.

In the end, he even imparted to him a strange ultimate technique.

The Heaven Ascension Feast.

This was an intriguing martial art that allowed one to advance to third-grade by eating.

The only problem was that some rare heavenly treasures were required to succeed.

The main ingredient, the Purple Blood Dragon King Ginseng, was even rarer.

‘When cooking, special cooking utensils had to be used.

The Dragon Melting Pot!

After Liu Chenglong’s death, the He Family’s ancestor had used schemes and managed to obtain this spirit weapon kitchenware.

In the beginning, thanks to his ident.i.ty as Liu Chenglong’s private chef, the He Family’s ancestor paid big money and used some channels to successfully locate half a stalk of Purple Blood Dragon King Ginseng.

This Purple Blood Dragon King Ginseng was used to make a total of three Heavenly Ascension Feasts.

Making three third-grade powerhouses!

However, as time pa.s.sed, after that ancestor pa.s.sed on,

descendants of the He Family could no longer use the connections from Liu Chenglong when he was alive, and the Purple Blood Dragon King Ginseng was never obtained again.

Without the main ingredient, the Heaven Ascension Feast naturally wouldn’t succeed.

The He Family’s descendants were indignant.

For three consecutive generations, they thought of all kinds of methods to restart the Heaven Ascension Feast.

In the end, things didn’t go as they had hoped.

Until a descendant of the He Family accidentally obtained an ancient text that recorded an evil way of subst.i.tuting the heavenly treasures.

Human medicine!
