Chapter 69: An Amusing Matter

  Chen Luo had broken through many formations in his youth, and had also destroyed many ancient formation methods. He had seen many strange and bizarre powers with his own eyes, and could be considered a seasoned veteran. However, this time he was still shocked by the ferocity of his own mutated power. Rubbing the fresh blood at the corner of his mouth, he couldn't believe that his mutated power was so ferocious that after releasing the Tiger Soul, just one tiger's roar had shaken him to the point of vomiting blood.

  Just now, a try made him feel that his mutant power was like a ferocious beast, and after it was released, it couldn't be suppressed at all, let alone controlled, because it was too violent. Shaking his head, he muttered: "In the future, unless absolutely necessary, I must not release my mutant power, otherwise, before hurting the enemy, I will shock myself to death, that would be a joke of the century."

  I originally wanted to try out the power of variation again, but after thinking about it, I decided not to bother. In a hurry, I drilled into this small thicket and was dazed for several days without knowing how many days had passed. It's better to go out and send a message to those who are worried about me. For several days, I practiced day and night, really forgetting the time. When I returned to the domain, I only knew that I had been in the small spirit realm of the thicket for about seven days. The Golden Water Domain trial had also ended. It is said that Xue Xiangyun still ranked first, Yu Huafei still ranked second, and Zhan Fei was still fourth. As for Chen Luo, he withdrew from the competition halfway through and was not included in the ranking.

  Back to the passenger transport villa, the apprentices of Xiaojingou have not returned yet. Chen Luo and they were chatting enthusiastically when Butcher Lao came over upon receiving the news, without saying a word, he directly dragged him into the house.

  "You little scamp, you've finally deigned to come back? Do you know our family has almost run their legs off searching for you? Where have you been running off to these days?"

  Obviously, Tú Lǎo Tóu was very angry, so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared with his eyes. Hearing that Chén Luò was hiding in the small woods made him even angrier, and he immediately scolded: "Fart! Our family searched for two days in the small woods and didn't find a single feather of yours. And you little brat, what are you doing running to the small woods every now and then? What were you going to do this time?"

  "Practice is the best teacher." Chen Luo gnawed on a fruit, staying in the small thicket for seven days. Due to his hasty departure, he didn't bring much food and spent the whole day eating some tough monster meat that was hard to chew.

  It's fine if he doesn't mention cultivation, but as soon as he does, Old Butcher becomes even more enraged, jumping up and down in anger.

  "You little stinker, how could you intentionally hide such a big thing from our family? What's so great about opening the eighth spiritual vein? Are you afraid that our family will steal it from you?"

  "I also opened it by chance during the trial, didn't I just not have time to tell you yet?" Chen Luo was hiding it from Tu Lao Tou, not because he didn't trust him, but rather Tu Lao Tou was the person he trusted most in this world. Perhaps due to his personality, he wasn't fond of sharing uncertain things with others, especially those that could easily give people hope, such as the Ten Spiritual Veins. If he had told Tu Lao Tou at the time, he would have definitely been very excited, but what if he himself couldn't open up the Boundary Spirit Sea? At that time, Tu Lao Tou might worry about him. Even now that he has opened up the Boundary Spirit Sea, he didn't plan on telling Tu Lao Tou, because this thing was full of unknowns, and he didn't want others to worry about him.

  After barely passing through Lao Tuo's test, Chen Luo rushed towards Tianqi Manor overnight.

  As expected, as soon as they met, Wei Tianlong first scolded him for disappearing without a word, and then said that he didn't tell him about opening the eighth spiritual vein. Although Chen Luo's face was smiling, his heart was deeply moved. Wei Tianlong and Tu Lao were scolding him because they were worried about his safety.

  Wei Tianlong always managed to surprise people in unexpected ways, and this time was no exception. When Chen Luo returned, he brought back a box from inside the house. Initially, it was thought that the box contained various spiritual medicines, but when Chen Luo opened it, he found that it was filled with many ancient books related to the Eighth Spiritual Pulse, Variant Spiritual Ocean, and Life Spiritual Ocean. The value of these ancient books could not be measured in gold, as they were extremely rare and not available on the market. Wei Tianlong casually mentioned that he had obtained them through a friend, but Chen Luo knew that such ancient books could not be borrowed from friends, and even if they could, it would have required owing a great favor. In addition to the ancient books, there were also various high-quality spiritual techniques, totaling over ten volumes, with very high levels of essence contained within.

  Great kindness is not spoken of in gratitude; Wei Tianlong will forever remember his own kindness in his heart.

  The next day, Chen Luo was browsing through ancient books in the manor when Xue Yunshan, the lord of Jinshui Domain, came again. It seemed that he wasn't alone this time, as he was accompanied by Rong Huizhang, the president of Jinshui Domain's Glory Guild. After introduction, Chen Luo learned that President Rong was Lord Xue's wife, which slightly surprised him and also made him admire the greatness of Xue Yunshan's family background.

  Xue Yunshan didn't have the slightest air of a domain master, at least not in front of Chen Luo. He treated him like a nephew, just like Tu Lao and Old Wei, scolding him playfully and teasingly, but the domain master's scolding was soon interrupted by Rong Hui Zhang. Rong Hui Zhang was a beautiful young woman with a noble and elegant temperament, who pulled Chen Luo aside to ask him questions from his age of one to seventeen. Every time he encountered such situations, Chen Luo felt quite annoyed, especially under the passionate yet scrutinizing gaze of Rong Hui Zhang, which made him feel uneasy all over.

  Xue Yunshan and his wife were still very considerate of Chen Luo, and they also sent some ancient books and notes. It is said that these notes were recorded by Xue Yunshan when he opened up the spiritual sea of fate. Later, Mrs. Rong proposed to invite him to their home as a guest in a few days. Chen Luo neither refused nor agreed, and it seemed that Master Rong had not asked for his opinion at all. He simply finalized the specific time on the spot, leaving Chen Luo feeling very helpless. After sending off Xue Yunshan and his wife, Chen Luo slumped into the chair like an empty balloon, looking as if he had just fought a battle of life and death.

  On the way back, Xue Yunshan asked: "Madam, what do you think of Xiaoluo?"

  "Opening the eighth spiritual vein without being arrogant, hiding the heavenly gate's master without being proud, not arrogant and not proud, being low-key as a person, natural and free-spirited, extremely passionate and sentimental, very extreme, calm like water, dynamic like fire, mature in heart but not lacking youthful passion, this little guy is not simple at all."

  Rong's sharp and piercing gaze had always made Xue Yunshan admire him, and he exclaimed in surprise: "You can see so much just from one glance?"

  "It's more than that, I'm sure this little guy must have had an extraordinary experience."

  "Oh? Why say that?" Xue Yunshan could also see that Chen Luo had definitely gone through a lot, but he knew even better what it meant for someone like him to utter the words "extraordinary experience".

  "It's just a woman's intuition." Rong Hui seemed to be lost in thought, then asked again: "You and Wei Tianlong are so close, why didn't you ask that little guy how he became the master of Tianqi Pavilion?"

  "I'd like to know too, but you also know Old Wei, his mouth is too tight, he has his own principles when doing things, if he doesn't want to say it, you'll never be able to find out."

  Rong Hui just smiled and said, "Madam, can you not ask about people's family background in the future? You ask, but why do you ask so many details? It's as if you want to know about their ancestors for three generations. Do you know that this makes people very embarrassed?"

  "I'm looking for a son-in-law, so I have to ask clearly."

  "Son-in-law, isn't this a bit too early?" Wei Tianlong also liked Chen Luo very much and had said words of endearment when he was drunk, but that was just when he was drunk. He said, "I think it's better to let him get familiar with our daughter first."

  "You don't understand, someone like Chen Luo with such great potential, once he enters the Central Academy, many families and Glory Guilds will be eyeing him. By then, it'll be too late to make a move." Director Hong glared at Xue Yunshan and said: "Don't forget that this little guy is now the Master of Tianqi Pavilion. Although I dislike Yi Tianlong's business tactics, I have to admit his brilliance in the business world. He says he wants to make Tianqi Pavilion the number one merchant guild in the near future, and I've never doubted that."

  "It seems like what you said is true, but our dear daughter doesn't seem to have that intention for now."

  "When our family's silly girl comes to her senses, the cucumber dish will be cold. This matter can't be left up to her to decide, as a mother I have to arrange things properly for her."

  "It depends on what Xia Luo means?"

  "You think I let Chen Luo this little guy come home for a few days as a guest, what's the purpose? Isn't it just to arrange for him to meet Yatou?"

  After the end of the Golden Water Domain trial, each university department also set off to return. Chen Luo originally planned to go back, but Tu Lao Tou actually let Niu Ying take other classmates to leave first and left him here. Moreover, what made him even more incomprehensible was that Tu Lao Tou said he had arranged a table of delicious food at the Tian Qi Wine House and wanted to invite him to have a big meal, which scared Chen Luo quite badly.

  When did this old butcher become so generous?
