Chapter 926 – Bai Clan Forefather’s Abacus, Refining Immortal Crystal
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the Bai clan, it was exceptionally lively in the Bai clan today.
The news that the Bai clan Forefather came forward to protect a person had long spread, and some elders in the Bai clan were quite unhappy about the matter.
After all, the Bai clan was at odds with the city lord’s mansion, yet they still had to protect a foreigner. Were they not adding fuel to the fire?
They could not say anything because the Bai clan Forefather did it.
However, Chu Kuangren was different.
They did not have a good impression of a foreigner like him.
“His face has been covered with a spiritual veil ever since he arrived in Bai clan. He doesn’t seem like a good person at first glance,” muttered a young man.
A few people beside him could not agree more and were preconceived. Chu Kuangren was an eyesore to them.
Nevertheless, Chu Kuangren was not bothered by their remarks.
“Brother Chu, I came to you mainly because of the Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm,” said Bai clan Forefather.
“Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm…”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.
He had heard about the Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm when collecting information.
It was the residence of Master Daoist Heavenly Blaze, an ancient elite that had reached the level of an Immortal.
Unfortunately, Master Daoist Heavenly Blaze perished, and his manor that disappeared was not discovered until recently.
Bai clan was one of the discoverers besides the other forces, such as the city lord’s mansion, Holy Divine Fire Cult, Blue Cloud City, and many more.
Those forces were in the midst of preparing to send some people to explore Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm’s manor.
“As Master Daoist Heavenly Blaze’s residence, the Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm is equipped with many restrictions. I hope you can explore the manor with Moonlight Fox for me, my lord. Of course, the treasures obtained will be divided among us — thirty percent for you and seventy for the Bai clan. What
do you think? uttered the Bai clan Forefather with a smile.
“I get thirty, and you get seventy? That’s too much for you to take advantage of.”
“Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm has been sealed off by several of our forces, and it is difficult for a foreigner to enter. Brother Chu, it’s a great blessing for you to enter the manor and explore as a Bai clan’s representative, let alone getting a share of the treasures. You should be happy to get this chance.”
“Lhave to contribute my strength, while you guys only have to contribute a quota. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy. I don’t think it’s worth it for me.”
“How about we divide the treasures equally?”
Bai clan Forefather said.
Chu Kuangren smiled calmly. “No, maintain as you said. We will keep the seventy-thirty split, but I’ll get seven and you’ll get three.”
“Brother Chu, you’re taking it too far. Don’t forget who rescued you just now. Moreover, you won’t be able to enter Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm without the Bai clan. Forget about the seventy-thirty split.”
Beside him, Bai Yeyue said as his face turned grim.
“In that case, there’s nothing much to talk about.”
“Alright. As you wish, Brother Chu, you’ll get seven, and we’ll get three.”
Bai clan Forefather said after taking a deep breath.
Aweird look flashed in Chu Kuangren’s eyes.
‘Oh, he agrees?
“It’s a deal then.”
“There are still a few days before the agreeable day to explore the manor. Brother Chu, you can stay at the Bai clan for the next few days.”
Bai clan Forefather then appointed someone to take Chu Kuangren to his room for a rest.
After Chu Kuangren left, Bai Yeyue asked puzzledly, “Forefather, a seventy-thirty split is ridiculous. Why did you agree with him?”
“Hmph. A seventy-thirty split? In his dream.”
‘The benevolent-looking Bai clan Forefather suddenly turned vicious. “He’s powerful, and I can temporarily have him under my service. After the exploration of Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm is done, no matter if it’s the treasures in the manor or Moonlight Fox, the Bai clan wants all of them!”
“Isee.”
Bai Yeyue sneered upon hearing Bai clan Forefather’s statement.
‘The Bai clan placed Chu Kuangren at a messuage.
He placed some restrictions on where he lived to prevent others, except Lil Fox, from roaming freely.
“Boss, the Bai clan doesn’t seem to have good intentions.”
Lil Fox reminded him.
“Heh. If you’ve noticed, do you think I can’t? But I’m interested in the Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm. Besides, they have bad intentions. Am I supposed to let them take advantage of me? We still don’t know whether it’s a sheep among wolves or a tiger among sheep.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled playfully.
Lil Fox could not help but think of the magnificent scenery of the dragons and phoenixes blessing on the Immortal Ascension Path. Then, she secretly mourned for the Bai clan for three seconds.
Those guys did not know what a terrifying person they were scheming on!
“Alright. I have to refine the Immortal Crystal, and you shall safeguard me,” said Chu Kuangren.
He took out a milky white, baby fist-sized rhombus-shaped crystal, which was an Immortal Crystal he got from Hong Xue.
“Safeguard?!” Lil Fox became so excited. She immediately stood up, patted her chest, and assured him. “Don’t worry, Boss. As long as I’m here, no one can get near you.”
“Thank you.”
With that, Chu Kuangren began to refine the Immortal Crystal in his hand.
Lil Fox did not dare to disturb him as she guarded the surroundings.
She was a little excited.
Safeguard.
Generally, a cultivator would find someone he greatly trusted to protect him.
“Does it mean that Chu Kuangren has regarded me as someone he can trust, seeing that he needs my protection? Wait, no. A fox he can trust?”
Lil Fox was delighted thinking about it.
Her face turned a little red as she looked at Chu Kuangren, who was handsome and without a spiritual veil.
“No, no. Don’t overthink it. Boss trusts me so much. I must be cautious and prevent others from approaching.”
Lil Fox said while shaking her head.
At that moment, Chu Kuangren could still sense the outside world even though he was refining the Immortal Crystal. He had three souls, so he separated one of them to pay attention to the changes in the outside world, which was equivalent to safeguarding himself.
Therefore, it made no difference with or without Lil Fox.
He would not rely on others for his safety, not to mention a fox he had not known for long.
“What’s Lil Fox thinking?” Chu Kuangren shook his head when he noticed Lil Fox’s expression change.
It did not take long for Chu Kuangren to refine the Immortal Crystal in his hand. He could feel that his source energy had grown slightly even though it was not noticeable.
“The role of Immortal Crystal is more in strengthening the existing source energy, but it’s unrealistic to rely on a few Immortal Crystals to explore new sources. Immortal Techniques and Immortal Physiques are still the key points of my future cultivation…” mumbled Chu Kuangren.
After that, he got up to go for a walk.
“Oh? Boss, have you finished refining the Immortal Crystal?”
“Yeah…”
“T-That is so fast!”
Lil Fox was stunned. She glanced at the sky outside and realized it was dawn. Chu Kuangren had only taken a night to refine it all
‘Is Immortal Crystal so easy to refine?”
Lil Fox was a little confused.
In the end, she could only conclude that Chu Kuangren was different from ordinary people.
“As expected from the Boss. He’s extraordinary in all aspects!”
Lil Fox lamented.
Then, she tagged along behind Chu Kuangren.
“Brother Chu, are you going out?”
Chu Kuangren bumped into Bai Yeyue after walking a few steps. His eyes flickered upon seeing the direction Chu Kuangren was going in.
“Don’t worry. I won’t leave until the matter of Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm is settled,” Chu Kuangren said while walking past him, leaving the Bai clan with Lil Fox.
“Hmph, get someone to follow him.” Bai Yeyue snorted.
Soon, a few people were following Chu Kuangren.
“Chu Kuangren, Supreme Immortal Progeny? Hmph. You may be a Supreme Immortal Progeny, but you’re still a foreigner. You’ll fall once Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm’s matter is over.”
‘There was a grim look in Bai Yeyue’s eyes. He was a top Immortal Progeny but was miles apart compared to Chu Kuangren in terms of strength.
The disparity in talent made him jealous..
