Boarding Life

Chapter 788 788:

Wan Hao was extremely excited, leading his clan members out to greet personally.

Upon seeing Qin Qi, Wan Hao immediately approached, "Young Friend Qin Qi!"

Qin Qi responded respectfully, "Uncle Wan, regarding the Zhang Family matter, thank you so much!"

Wan Hao was already grinning from ear to ear.

Seeing Qin Qi now at the Foundation Establishment Stage and mentioning the Zhang Family affair, his heart was filled with joy.

Doesn't this exactly prove that his life-risking choice back then was completely right!

Thinking of this, Wan Hao chuckled, "Ah, it's all minor matters, no need to mention further. You've helped our Wan Family so many times; I, Wan Hao, am someone who repays kindness. Unfortunately, my abilities were limited. If the Dao Inference Department hadn't intervened, I fear I wouldn't have been able to protect you!"

Qin Qi politely replied, "If it weren't for Patriarch Wan risking his life to help at the time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have held on until the people from the Dao Inference Department arrived."

Wan Hao smiled and then said, "Alright, there's no need for formalities, Young Friend Qin Qi and I, let's head inside to talk!"

Qin Qi nodded and entered the Wan Family house with Wan Hao.

Along the way, Wan Hao and Wan Qing were also looking at Qin Qi with wide eyes.

After determining that Qin Qi had truly entered the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The corners of their mouths revealed a bittersweet smile.

After all, earlier on, they were at the same level as Qin Qi, and now Qin Qi had suddenly reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

This gap was truly leaving them with a sense of helplessness that they couldn't possibly match!

Soon, they sat in the Wan Family lounge.

Wan Hao curiously asked, "Qin Qi, Master Bai Ling and Monk Huiming are indeed esteemed figures of the Dao Inference Department and Leihu Mountain. When they appeared together and took you away, what on earth happened?"

Qin Qi did not conceal the details from Wan Hao.

He explained the entire story clearly and in detail.

Upon hearing this, Wan Hao was taken aback, "It's related to the Evil Demon matter, no wonder it's so serious. It seems that during the Ore Vein Mountain assessment phase, you won the first place with outstanding results, and these two noticed you then!"

Beside him, Wan Huarou and Wan Qing couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what exactly is this Evil Demon?"

Wan Hao shook his head, "It's a long story. I can only say that our Martial Arts District has always been overshadowed by these things. And forces like the Dao Inference Department and Leihu Mountain are the ones guarding these creatures!"

"This is also why, for so many years, whether it's the Five Great Clans or other forces, they have always accepted the regulation by the Dao Inference Department with neither resentment nor complaint!"

"Firstly, their strength is indeed formidable, beyond what these small forces in our Martial Arts District can contend with. Secondly, without them guarding against the Evil Demons, we'd be long gone due to their supernatural abilities."

Upon hearing this.

Everyone exchanged looks.

Although they still had only a vague understanding of the Evil Demon matter, judging from their father's expression, it wasn't difficult to discern the threat and fierceness of the Evil Demons.

Qin Qi took a deep breath, "This time I came, it was also to bid farewell to Uncle Wan."

"Seems like you've agreed?" Wan Hao frowned.

Qin Qi nodded helplessly, "Yes!"

Wan Hao sighed lightly, "Indeed, the Dao Inference Department sought you out because there must be something unique about you that can counteract the Evil Demons."

Wan Huarou sensed something, "Qin Qi, are you leaving again soon?"

Qin Qi smiled, "That's right!"

Wan Huarou's eyes were filled with reluctance.

She originally thought with Qin Qi's return, there would be time for some shared moments.

Wan Hao, after a brief contemplation, said, "Qin Qi, follow me to a place!"

Qin Qi was inevitably curious but still followed with the others, led by Wan Hao, deep into the Wan Family estate.

With twists and turns, Wan Hao guided Qin Qi to a place resembling the Wan Family ancestral shrine.

"Dad, isn't this where we offer sacrifices to our ancestors? Why bring Qin Qi here?" Wan Huarou was very curious.

Wan Hao did not respond but, upon entering the ancestral shrine, touched a barely perceptible mechanism on the wall.

Once the mechanism was pressed.

A staircase appeared on the ground out of thin air.

"Let's go!"

Wan Hao, with a serious expression, led them down the stairs.

Wan Huarou was full of surprise, "Dad, there's a mechanism and space under the shrine, how come you've never told us about this!"

Wan Hao shook his head, "This matter is the highest secret of our Wan Family, naturally, I couldn't tell you!"

Wan Huarou was puzzled, "Highest secret? Then why can you tell now?"

Wan Hao spoke solemnly, "Because, I've made a decision!"

Saying this, the three had already reached the lowest layer.

Upon reaching the bottom, Qin Qi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Because he could clearly see, in this lowest layer, there were two treasures placed.

One of which he'd seen before; it was the cold marrow crystal he had previously obtained in the ice cave!

The other one, Qin Qi had never seen, its appearance was a nail-sized elixir pill shrouded in black mist, looking terrifyingly ominous.

Wan Huarou asked in confusion, "Dad, isn't this the cold marrow crystal? Why did you place it here?"

Wan Hao slowly began, "This place is originally meant to store our Wan Family heirlooms. It's just that the cold marrow crystal wasn't found before, so only this Sha Pill was stored here!"

"Sha Pill?" Qin Qi was a bit puzzled upon hearing this name.

Wan Hao chuckled, "Seems Young Friend Qin Qi has already noticed, but having simulated encounters with Evil Demons, a real one you've never faced."

"If you had, you'd know this Sha Pill, in fact, originates from an Evil Demon!"

"Furthermore, across the Martial Arts District, this Sha Pill is unique; even the Dao Inference Department does not have one!"

Qin Qi was slightly stunned, "What's going on here?"

Wan Hao, with hands behind his back, "Since Young Friend Qin Qi has been to the Dao Inference Department, you should know its origins!"

"Back in the day when the ancestors emerged from the Secret Realm and suppressed the Evil Demons, they couldn't return to the Secret Realm anymore. Thus, they settled and thrived here!"

"Our Wan family's ancestors also came from the Secret Realm. It's just that they weren't very prominent among those strong back then."

Qin Qi was thoughtful, "So, this Sha Pill was obtained by your ancestors back then?"

Wan Hao nodded, "Exactly, the reason why others don't have a Sha Pill is because not every Evil Demon contains one!"

"Back then, our ancestor, alongside many others with great effort, killed a highly powerful Evil Demon and obtained this thing from its corpse!"

"According to our ancestor, carrying this pill will envelop oneself in its aura, allowing one to escape the notice of other Evil Demons!"

"I'm considering, if I hand this to Young Friend Qin Qi, it should increase your chances of successfully reaching the Secret Realm considerably!"
