Chapter 1724 Exposed

Thinking about how he’d been so easily captured this time, Qing Wen was extremely depressed, and it also triggered his sense of crisis.

"Yes, Master, I’ll move over as soon as I get back. From now on I’ll definitely cultivate my spells diligently and improve my fighting power. Master, please put away these Spirit Stones first." As Qing Wen spoke, he took the two storage bags and offered them to his Master with both hands.

All along, when their senior and junior brothers and sisters cultivated, it was their Master who used Spirit Stones to set up Spirit Gathering Arrays for them, and each time a lot of Spirit Stones were consumed. Normally they also carried a small amount of Spirit Stones given by their Master, but they were almost useless. When they ran out of Spiritual Energy outside, they all used the Qi Replenishing Pills supplied by their Master.

Therefore, Qing Wen felt that these Spirit Stones naturally ought to be handed over to his Master for safekeeping.

Mengyu nodded: this child has a very good character, no greed in his heart.

"I know you’re a good child and don’t covet these things, but since these Spirit Stones were taken from your family’s ancestor house, I won’t take them all. I’ll give you one bag. Think about what you plan to do with it—do you want to share it with the rest of the Qin Family?"

Aside from Seventh Grandpa, the Qin Family had two other cultivators, but both were in the Qi Refinement Realm and not worth worrying about.

Qing Wen was a bit anxious and uneasy: "Master, this disciple has always eaten your food and used your things. Since these Spirit Stones don’t belong to the Qin Family’s ancestors and were found by you, they naturally belong to you.

Besides, even if these Spirit Stones really did belong to my family’s ancestors, that would only be the ancestors of my direct bloodline. They used the excuse of reviving the ancestors to murder my direct-line family members—how do they still have any right to demand the resources of my direct line?

And as long as something belongs to this disciple, of course it should be offered in filial respect to Master. So, whether these Spirit Stones belong to my Qin Family or not, they must go to Master."

Mengyu sighed inwardly; she really hadn’t chosen the wrong disciple—he even thought of offering good things to his Master.

She put away the storage bags and said, "It’s fine if I hold onto them for now. In this Mortal World, we still need Spirit Stones for cultivation. We’ll use them to supply the Spirit Gathering Array in our courtyard. When we arrive in the Master Cultivation World in the future, I’ll decide then how much to allocate to you."

Indeed, Mengyu and the others were currently cultivating using Spirit Stones; otherwise, how could they cultivate so quickly in this Mortal World where Spiritual Energy was thinned to almost nothing?

Previously, when they lived in Yang’an Small Courtyard, as long as someone was cultivating at home, the Spirit Gathering Array in the house was practically running all day long.

Even after Mengyu changed residences, she still set up a Spirit Gathering Array in the room Qing Wen lived in, for his cultivation.

Although Mengyu possessed a large quantity of Spirit Stones, she had taken on four disciples, and even a large stockpile would be used up someday.

It was only after Mengyu entered the Master Cultivation World that she realized just how precious Spirit Stones were, and how extravagant it was to let her disciples cultivate using Spirit Arrays woven from spiritual cloth.

After putting everything away, Master and disciple were just about to leave when they heard footsteps outside. Mixed in was a flurry of discussion:

"That sound just now came from the ancestor house, right?"

"That’s right, it sounded like it came from here."

"Wasn’t the ancestor house sealed? There’s nothing in here—who would come here?"

"Let’s go in and see what’s going on."

...

Mengyu hurriedly pulled Qing Wen out of the secret chamber, restored the chamber to its original state, and even repaired the Illusion Array. However, the two of them were still stepping on the Five Elements Fan when someone entered the Qin Family ancestor house before they could get out, blocking them inside.

The two had no choice but to retreat to a corner of the wall and hide as much as possible—they weren’t afraid of those collateral branch members of the Qin Family, they had simply not intended to kill them, so there was no need to meet them.

After those people entered the ancestor house, they hurriedly looked around.

"Same as ever, nothing’s changed."

"Then what caused that sound just now?"

"Hey, what are they shouting about outside?"

"Sounds like they’re shouting something about Seventh Grandpa over by the ancestral hall."

Mengyu and Qing Wen immediately realized that it must be that the incident involving Seventh Grandpa and the Human Demon in the ancestral hall had been discovered.
