Novel Bin Chapter 706: The Treasure Map
Qin Feiyang said anxiously, “But…”
Qin Zhanlong interrupted him, “There is no ‘but’. Family interest is our top priority.”
“Qin Haodong has nothing to do with us since he did not agree to join our Qin family. We must stay away from him now, or we might also be punished by the Yan family. We cannot afford to offend the Saint.”
Qin Feiyang still wanted to say something, but Qin Zhanlong stopped him, “Feiyang, I know how you feel, but our Qin Family will not be able to help. Even if we go there, what can we do? We can’t stop the Saint, even if our entire family goes all out.”
“Besides, Yan Feifei has always been dissatisfied with us since Zongheng stood her up at the altar. It’s good enough that she did not create any problems for us. We have to be careful, otherwise, our entire family might be wiped out by her.”
“Well…”
Qin Feiyang was anxious, but he knew that Qin Zhanlong was right. They were silent for a while.
“Power decides everything. The Yan family has a Saint, so they now possess great power. They can decide the fates of the other big families, but our Qin family can’t just sit and wait for our death.”
Qin Zhan’ao took out a small jade bottle from his pocket, “This is the pill I bought at the auction. It’s said that this pill can increase the success rate of a ninth-level grand master breaking through the bottleneck by fifty percent.”
“The martial artists of our family have taken the Energy-gathering Pill and the Spirit Culturing Pill that I bought in the auction. They’re highly effective. I don’t know who made those pills, but they’re as great as the elixir of immortality.”
He looked at the ninth-level grand masters, Qin Zhanlong and Qin Zhanfeng and said, “So we can infer that this Saint Pill must also be effective. Who wants to have a try?”
He didn’t tell them anything about the Saint Pill when he came back from the auction. There were two ninth-level grand masters in each family and he did not want to take the risk.
However, the situation had changed now. The Yan family, who had always been at odds with them, now had a Saint in their family. If they did not hurry and think of a way, the Qin family might also be wiped out after the destruction of the Tang Sect.
The room fell silent after he finished speaking and Qin Zhanlong and Qin Zhanfeng stared at the Saint Pill. They had never seen this kind of pill before and no one could be sure if it was effective.
After taking the pill, they might become a Saint overnight, or they might suffer from the Qi Deviation and be finished forever.
After a minute of silence, Qin Zhanlong made the decision and said, “Master, I want to give it a try.”
As the First Elder of the Qin family, he was the oldest and could only live for about 10 more years if he did not break through to the Saint Realm. But if the Yan family made trouble for them, they might be killed anytime.
Thinking of this, he decided to have a try. First of all, it was for the sake of the Qin family. Besides, it was worth risking ten years for decades of life. If he could break through to the Saint Realm, he might live for at least another fifty years.
“Well then, you are holding our destiny in your hand.”
Qin Zhan’ao gave the Saint Pill to Qin Zhanlong and sighed silently. If he had not forced Qin Zongheng to leave, the Qin family would not have been in this current dilemma.
Qin Chong listened carefully. He was full of hatred right now. He was not worried about the future of the Qin family and all he cared about was whether the Tang Sect would be destroyed by Yan Feifei.
After the meeting of the Qin family, he immediately ran out of the house. He wanted to see how Qin Haodong would be killed by Yan Feifei in person.
Qin Haodong returned to the Tang Sect after separating from Zhao Qingwu. He saw Ma Wenzhuo helping Kim Jihyun as they waited at his door.
Ma Wenzhuo looked pale and seemed to be in low spirits. But Kim Jihyun, who had been seriously injured, had a high color. She looked totally different from when she had just been brought back.
How much blood did this guy donate to her? Did he pump himself dry? He had really done his best to save this beauty.
But it seemed that they were really a good match when they stood together.
When she saw Qin Haodong, Kim Jihyun knelt on the ground and said, “Mr. Qin, please help me. As long as you can avenge our family, I will do anything to repay your kindness.”
Qin Haodong glanced at her and said lightly, “I saved you because we knew each other before. But I have nothing to do with your family, so I have no reason to take revenge for your family.”
Kim Jihyun looked at him with tearful eyes, “Mr. Qin, all of my family have been killed. Please help me. You’re the only one who can help me to avenge them…”
Ma Wenzhuo added, “Yes, Haodong, Zhixian is so pitiful. Just help her.”
Qin Haodong looked calm, but he shook his head secretly. He did not believe that his buddy had fallen so quickly in love with this girl.
He said, “Well, since Wenzhuo has spoken up for you, then tell me what’s going on with your family? Let me know what happened first.”
“It’s Kim Tonghae. He’s a bastard…” Kim Jihyun gnashed her teeth and said, “He was originally from a remote branch of our Kim family, but he’s smart and good at pleasing others. So he won the trust of my grandfather, who let him join the core party of our Kim family.”
“One time, my grandfather got drunk and said that he had a treasure map. He learned this news by chance and told it to Cha Taehang, the boxing champion in our South Korea. He then received great benefits from him.”
“Cha Taehang coveted the treasure map of our family and killed our entire family. My grandfather and father risked their lives to help me escape and your Xuanwu jade pendant also protected me from a fatal blow from Kim Tonghae. Then I came here to ask you for help.”
“I know that you’re a great master and you’re the only one who can help our entire family. So I rushed to the capital to find you, but Kim Tonghae ambushed me in the periphery. Luckily, I was saved by you.”
Qin Haodong figured out that Kim Jihyun would meet with a bloody disaster when he was in Shanghai, so he gave her the Xuanwu jade pendant, which saved her life.
“Who is this boxing champion Cha Taehang?”
“Cha Taehang is the only Saint in our country and he’s known as the Boxing Champion.”
“Saint-level master?” Qin Haodong frowned and asked, “He’s quite powerful. Why does he want your treasure map?”
“It is said that the treasure map of our family shows an ancient site. If anyone can find that treasure, he will likely become a great master overnight. That’s why Cha Taehang wants it.”
Qin Haodong suddenly thought of something and asked, “An ancient site? Then why didn’t your family look for the treasure?”
Kim Jihyun explained, “The treasure map is weird and not quite detailed. My grandfather did try several times, but unfortunately, he could not find the location of the treasure.”
Qin Haodong said, “This is an internal dispute of your country. As a Huaxia person, it’s not convenient for me to participate. We’re friends, so I can let you live here to avoid being chased by Cha Taehang, but I can’t help you to take revenge.”
“Mr. Qin, please don’t. You are my only hope.”
Qin Haodong said, “But you said that Cha Taehang is a Saint. I’m just a ninth-level grand master and can’t offer any help even if I want to. Just forget it.”
“But you’re only 20 years old and I believe that you will definitely become a Saint in the future. At that time, you will be able to take revenge on Cha Taehang for us.”
Kim Jihyun’s eyes flashed with hatred and she said, “If you can help us, I’m yours and you can do whatever you want. Besides, the treasure map will also belong to you.”
When he saw Ma Wenzhuo’s angry stare, Qin Haodong immediately said, “Forget it. Just give me the treasure map.”
He had used up all the Upper Level Spirit Stones in the 12 Zodiacs, but his cultivation was just at the Early-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. He needed more stones if he wanted to improve further.
If this treasure map could really lead him to any ancient relics, he might find opportunities to improve his cultivation and get more Upper Level Spirit Stones.
Kim Jihyun agreed without any hesitation. If she could not take revenge, it would be useless to keep this treasure map.
She took off her shoes which had heels that were about 10 centimeters high and rotated it. It turned out that the heel was a moving part. It was hollow inside.
She took out a curled up piece of yellow parchment from each heel. When they were put together, it was a treasure map.
Qin Haodong took the map and checked it carefully. It was full of Spiritual Qi. The map was really something from the ancient times. It has not been forged by the later generations.
However, he still could not figure out where it was after scrutinizing it for a long time.
He rolled up the map and said, “I’ll take this map and I can also avenge your family. But you can’t be anxious because I will only take action at the right time.”
It was not difficult for him to kill Cha Taehang with his current cultivation, but he did not want to expose his actual level now. So he had to wait for a while.
“Okay, I can wait.”
Kim Jihyun was not totally consumed by her hatred and she agreed.
At this moment, Qin Haodong and Ma Wenzhuo suddenly looked up in the direction of the Yan family manor. They both felt the change in the atmosphere brought by Yan Feifei’s breakthrough.
Ma Wenzhuo was shocked. “What’s going on? Did someone reach the Saint Realm?”
”Might be.”
A faint smile appeared on Qin Haodong’s face. It seemed that his pill was really effective. Yan Feifei had made the breakthrough successfully.
It was not long before Chu Mingli and Chu Minghui ran over.
Chu Mingli said anxiously, “Haodong, big news! My father said that Yan Feifei has reached the Saint Realm and is coming over with the Yan family. It seems that they are out to get you.”
Before Qin Haodong could speak, Qi Waner, Wei Yanran and Feng Wu rushed over too. They all got the news that Yan Feifei had become a Saint through their own channels.
Chu Xuanyue was also a grand master and she panicked after hearing the news. She took Qin Haodong’s hand and said, “Son, hurry and find some place to hide. Yan Feifei hates us because of your father. Now that she has become a saint, she will definitely come here and kill you.”
“Just find some place to hide for a while and I will deal with her.”
Qin Haodong frowned. He just wanted to help Yan Feifei break through and did not think too much about it. But now it seemed quite troublesome for the Tang Sect.
It was very easy to deal with Yan Feifei. But how could he make his mother agree to their marriage?
Feng Wu still did not know about his breakthrough. Seeing his serious expression, she thought he was worried about how to deal with Yan Feifei. She stepped forward and said, “Do you want me to call my master?”
Qin Haodong waved his hand and said, “No, I can handle this.”
Chu Xuanyue said hurriedly, “Son, what else can you do? Just take the chance and run. Otherwise, it will be too late.”
Qin Haodong said, “I can handle this, but mom, you have to promise me one thing.”
Chu Xuanyue said, “What are you talking about? I will agree to anything as long as you are safe.”
