Chen Xuan watched the old man leaving, his expression complicated.
Did he really leave just like that?
Could it be that he was overthinking?
If he really figured sothing out, he wouldn't let him go so easily, right?
Or is it...
"You better leave quickly, this is not a place for soone of low status like you to stay!"
Just then, Shi Kun's cold reprimand interrupted Chen Xuan's thoughts.
He slightly turned his head, gave him a cold glance.
Bastard!
Given the chance, I'll finish him off sooner or later.
"What are you looking at! If you dare to linger, I'll teach you a lesson. An inferior person who thinks he has climbed high starts to forget his place."
Chen Xuan no longer looked at him and walked away; looking at such a person more than once would only pollute his eyes.
If this were anywhere outside the Stone Race, I would slap him to death!
"Hmph!"
Shi Kun thought he had intimidated him and snorted coldly, his eyebrows raised in self-satisfaction.
"It still has to be the commander's lordship!"
The follower beside him imdiately flattered.
"Of course!"
...
On the way back to Jiang Mansion, Chen Xuan was still pondering, looking at the old man's reaction, was he really wrong?
Even as he stood before the gate of Jiang Mansion, his thoughts were in turmoil.
"Phew—"
He exhaled deeply, whatever happens will happen, he'll take it step by step.
After returning to Lin Garden, he imdiately went to his room.
He took out the white pill from his pocket.
"Is this thing really so precious?"
He examined the pill in his hand carefully, muttering to himself.
When the Third Ancestor threw him this pill, although he didn't see Shi Lin's expression, he clearly felt her emotional fluctuation.
In the next mont, a blue light flashed in his eyes.
He wanted to see what was so special about this pill that even stirred Shi Lin.
"Hmm?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, under telepathy, he could see the pill clearly.
Very simple!
Simple to the point of astonishnt.
Only a few hundred kinds of materials, compared to the Azure Star River Pill he consud, this pill was simply crude.
However... his confusion stemd from seeing a pure energy within the pill.
This energy was so pure it exceeded his understanding.
"Is Shi Lin excited because of this?"
Chen Xuan muttered to himself.
Of course, his scrutiny was not only to see if there was anything peculiar about the pill but crucially to see if there was any problem with it.
The old folks of the Stone Race aren't exactly saints, you can tell by their surna system.
After confirming there was no issue, Chen Xuan placed the pill in his mouth.
Imdiately... his brows furrowed.
What the hell is this stuff? It's sour and bitter, with a hint of an earthy taste!
The sensation almost made him spit it out in disgust.
It was nowhere comparable to the pills he consud before.
"Gulp!"
He forced the pill down into his stomach, and the Spiritual Power within his body instantly dissolved the pill, then the pure energy erged.
"Jade Bone!"
Chen Xuan exclaid in his mind.
When this energy appeared, the lifeless Jade Bone had a reaction.
"Could it be... could it be...."
Two words suddenly erged in his mind, "Mother Liquid!"
In an instant!
This energy was absorbed, and the Jade Bone gained a trace!
"Too little, too little!"
Chen Xuan kept chanting to himself.
It must be the Mother Liquid!
Otherwise, it's impossible for such a trace of energy to cause a reaction in his Jade Bone, even celestial-level pills were ineffective for him.
Now he understood why Shi Lin was so excited.
It turns out this pill contained the energy of the Mother Liquid.
But after a mont, Chen Xuan regained his composure.
The Mother Liquid is good, but where exactly is this stuff?
Although his Jade Bone had a reaction, it was too little.
Moreover, in over twenty days he'll enter the Holy Land of the Stone Race, and then he has to "create little ones" with Shi Lin, but he's a Human Race, what would they create?
He was definitely going to be exposed.
"What should I do?!"
Chen Xuan sighed up at the sky, this bit of Mother Liquid was like a glass of good wine that stoked a drunkard's craving.
But there's no more!
And he doesn't even know where to buy it, isn't this pure torture!
...
Li Mu, despite being of the Human Race, was the High Priest of the Stone Race. After returning to his residence, he quietly entered a secret chamber.
Looking at the hundreds of tablets before him,
His expression was solemn, he knelt down on both knees, and respectfully kowtowed three tis to the topmost tablet.
Only then did he place his hands together, murmuring softly, "Ancestor of the Li Family above!"
"This might be the last chance for our Li Family, if we succeed, perhaps the Li Family can return to the Eastern Continent."
"Reclaim everything that belongs to the Li Family!"
After chanting, Li Mu recalled his father's instructions on his deathbed.
"Father!"
"The Li Family will definitely shine again under your son's hand."
Phew—
He exhaled slowly, trying to calm his excited mind.
Only then did he slowly get up and leave the secret chamber.
A middle-aged man stood not far from the door.
"Dad!"
Seeing him co out, the man imdiately approached, "Did sothing happen?"
Li Mu only entered the secret chamber on the day of the Li Family's sacrifice each year unless sothing major occurred.
Thus, he was waiting there.
"Prepare well, after enduring humiliation for so many years, the opportunity has arrived!"
Li Mu looked at his only son, Li Fu, who, under his years of guidance, had reached the early stage of the eighth level of the Dao Realm and could even unleash mid-stage strength with his trump card.
"What?!"
Li Fu was shocked, "Opportunity? Dad, what opportunity?!"
