99: Chapter 100: Complete the side quest

The pressure descended, causing the two of them to drop to their knees with a thud.

"Senior, we two have not offended you. We beg you, as an adult with a large heart, to spare..."

Before Qin Shan could finish his sentence, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I am now a Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Miaoyin Sect. For you to be so rude to my friend means you do not hold me in your eyes. Presumably, if I were to kill you two Juniors now, your Ancestor of the Qin Family would not have anything to say, would he?"

As she spoke, the overwhelming pressure grew stronger and stronger.

Just as the two were unable to bear it any longer, Chen Fan feigned sympathy and said with a worried look, "Although these two are foolish, their crimes do not warrant death. I implore Senior to spare my Qin Family clansmen."

"Since Alchemist Chen has interceded, this matter ends here. However, if I find you two to be this unruly in the future, watch out for your heads."

"Please rest assured, Senior. We two will certainly not dare to be disrespectful in the future."

Just as the two were kowtowing like garlic-pounding, they felt an extremely bitter taste in their mouths.

Bi Wenqin suddenly used her magic power to force two black Medicinal Pills into their mouths.

"This Medicinal Pill is also called the Death-Seal Pill. You must take one antidote pill every month. As for how to resolve the poison in your bodies in the future, that will depend entirely on Alchemist Chen."

Bi Wenqin flipped her wrist and handed a snow-white pill bottle to Chen Fan.

Qin Shan and Qin Yuan no longer had their previous arrogance; their faces were full of respect.

"Elder Chen, whenever you wish to leave the Sect, it is entirely up to you. We two will head to the foot of the mountain outside the Sect now."

"No need. We will leave right now."

Chen Fan looked into the distance, deep in thought. He realized he had been away from the Qin Family for quite a long time this time.

Afterward, after bidding farewell to Zhao Qin and Bi Wenqin, he stepped onto his flying boat and left rapidly with Yan Xue.

Along the way, the flying boat was extremely fast, emitting a huge sound of breaking through the air above.

They returned to the Qin Family smoothly. To everyone's surprise, the Ancestor of the Qin Family was in seclusion.

As summer passed and winter came, several months went by. On this day, a familiar voice slowly echoed in his mind.

[Ding, detected that the Host has birthed a new Foundation Establishment descendant. Special reward: cultivation value increased by 5%, Physical Body strength increased by 5%, Divine Sense strength increased by 5%.]

First, Lu Fushuang gave birth smoothly, delivering a new descendant after ten months of pregnancy.

The next moment, the aura around Chen Fan became heavier again, and his cultivation advanced.

Not long after, the familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind again.

[Ding, detected that the Host has birthed a new Foundation Establishment descendant, and both mother and child are safe. Special reward: cultivation value increased by 5%, Physical Body strength increased by 5%, Divine Sense strength increased by 5%.]

Su Yan gave birth smoothly, adding another child for Chen Fan. This was his second Foundation Establishment descendant and the third child she had birthed for him.

[Ding, detected that the Host has birthed a new Foundation Establishment descendant, and both mother and child are safe. Special reward: cultivation value increased by 5%, Physical Body strength increased by 5%, Divine Sense strength increased by 5%.]

This was the task reward for Wang Qingya successfully giving birth to a descendant.

And the news of Qin Lingxi successfully reaching Foundation Establishment soon arrived.

At this moment, the side quest began to change.

[Side Quest: Advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm (Completed); Five Foundation Establishment wives (Completed five); Birth five Foundation Establishment descendants (Five)]

Chen Fan was excited. This year had been calm and uneventful, and he had completed the System task smoothly without realizing it.

He was looking forward to it now, wondering what kind of reward the System would have.

Refreshing the panel again, the familiar voice slowly sounded.

[Ding, detected that the Host has successfully completed the side quest. Special reward: Mysterious Heavenly Exotic Treasure, Soul Eater.]

"Exotic Treasure, Soul Eater?"

Chen Fan was quite curious. The next moment, a black long ruler slowly appeared from his Storage Pouch.

He saw that it was engraved with various strange patterns, emitting a faint ghostly light, with wisps of lightning slowly flashing through it.

Injecting a stream of magic power into it, he could clearly feel a powerful suction force.

Operating it slightly, the black long ruler suddenly lit up, emitting a huge light of lightning.

"So it is a lightning-attribute Magic Treasure, not bad."

...

The peaceful days did not last long. On this day, a heavy knocking sound came from the gate of the courtyard.

After hearing it, Chen Fan frowned slightly.

"Elder Chen, the Old Ancestor has something to find you for."

The person speaking was the guard of the Old Ancestor, with a cold face and eyes full of arrogance.

Chen Fan's expression was calm; he knew that what was meant to come had finally come. It seemed that this Old Ancestor could finally no longer hold back.

A cold smile appeared on his face as he said, "Lead the way!"

Seeing this, the guard was slightly dissatisfied. One had to know that ordinary Cultivators would become extremely obsequious, offering some benefits to inquire about news.

He did not say much on the surface, but in his heart, he was slightly smug, wishing for the other party to die soon.

He had followed the Old Ancestor for many years. When he received the order, he noticed the Old Ancestor's poor complexion; summoning a Cultivator at this time was often a precursor to a massacre.

It did not take long for the two to arrive at the core of the Family.

Among the mountains, it was still shrouded in white mist.

"Elder Chen, the summit is where the Old Ancestor's Immortal Cave is."

"Understood." Chen Fan flicked his long sleeves, emitting an extremely thick magic power, causing the guard to retreat repeatedly.

"You..."

The guard was furious with shame. If they were not in the core area of the Family, he would have already summoned his Magical Artifact.

Chen Fan's expression was calm, without any fear. He activated his Flying Sword Magic Treasure and headed towards the summit.

At the summit, it was still lush and green, with various rare spiritual plants placed everywhere.

The door of the Immortal Cave was ajar; a gentle push was enough to enter.

"You have come."

A thick voice slowly came, full of displeasure in its tone.

The Ancestor of the Qin Family walked out slowly. His complexion was slightly pale. Although he was trying his best to restrain himself, the anger on his face clearly had not dissipated.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor. Chen Fan has not handled matters well this time. I ask for your punishment."

"Punishment? I heard that you gained nothing at the Alchemy Conference. I originally intended for you to reach Foundation Establishment early, but I did not expect you to waste this Opportunity in vain."

"Junior's strength was indeed limited this time, but it was not without any gains. This time, I made the acquaintance of a Purple Mansion Cultivator from the Sect."

"Oh?"

The Ancestor of the Qin Family raised his eyebrows, his face full of disbelief.

"This is the token given to Junior by Elder Luan, Luan Tiande. He said that if I have any needs in the future, I can directly seek him out."

Chen Fan used his magic power to slowly lift the token until it was in front of the other party.

The Ancestor of the Qin Family looked puzzled. After looking at it carefully, he was secretly shocked.

The token held by the other party was indeed that of the Purple Mansion Cultivator.

"Old Ancestor, this is what I think. Currently, our Qin Family's strength is declining, mainly because we lack suitable foundation establishment pills. If we have this connection, presumably applying for foundation establishment pills should be much easier."

Seeing that the other party's expression was still ugly, Chen Fan quickly explained the pros and cons of the situation.

However, after saying this, the damp and dark Immortal Cave remained silent.

Chen Fan did not know what the other party was thinking. At this moment, he had already prepared himself; as long as the other party attacked, he would activate his Exotic Treasure.

Just as he was thinking about this, a strange laughter rang out.

"Hahaha, I did not expect you to have this connection. If this is the case, our Qin Family will have a chance to rise."

The Ancestor of the Qin Family swept away the gloom on his face, his gaze full of gentleness.
