Chapter 52

Compared to external enemies, traitors were even more hateful.

Moreover, if the traitor wasn't caught as soon as possible, even if the Bai Family went to seek revenge on the Ximen Family in the future, their action routes would be leaked.

Consequently, the Bai Family clansmen also hurriedly headed home.

On the way.

Bai Zhantian came to Yang Yu's side and whispered: "Yang Yu, that golden pill you gave me, what exactly is it?"

Yang Yu said: "Immortal Bean, it barely counts as a pill."

"Immortal Bean? Never heard of it..." Bai Zhantian clicked his tongue in wonder.

Yang Yu said sternly: "Regarding the information about the Immortal Bean, it is better for the Ancestor to know privately; do not mention it to outsiders."

Bai Zhantian nodded repeatedly: "That is only natural."

Such a god-tier pill must definitely be saved for critical moments; the fewer people who know, the better.

Of course, in the battle just now, Bai Zhantian swallowing the Immortal Bean had also been seen by some.

However, not many people saw it; after all, they were all busy fighting.

Even if a small number of people saw it, they would only treat it as a conventional healing medicine and not suspect otherwise.

After all, a pill that heals instantly and restores one to their peak instantly was already beyond the cognition of ordinary people; no one would think in that direction.

At the time, even Ximen Hong had believed the intelligence was fake and that Bai Zhantian hadn't been injured at all.

"Regardless of anything else, the Immortal Bean is absolutely a priceless treasure," Bai Zhantian continued, "The Bai Family owes you a huge favor."

Yang Yu smiled and said: "We are family, how can there be any owing or not owing? Besides, in that situation at the time, if the Ancestor couldn't recover, both I and the Bai Family would have perished."

"Sigh, as long as I live for one day, the Bai Family will be your solid backing and can pay everything for you."

Bai Zhantian's expression was very serious.

His life had been saved by Ye Chuxian, and his cultivation had been pulled back by Yang Yu.

With such a great favor, even if he risked this old life of his, he might not be able to repay it...

After Yang Yu chatted with Bai Zhantian for a while, he diverted a sliver of attention to the system interface.

In the pursuit just now, he had received an unexpected joy.

The Ximen Family retreated, and Yang Yu followed the Bai Family in pursuit; although they didn't chase to the end, they still killed quite a few people.

To cover the retreat, about a hundred Ximen Family warriors were beheaded.

Yang Yu also killed a few, and halfway through, he actually triggered two entries.

Yang Yu had only been focused on hacking people at the time and hadn't scanned in advance, so he didn't know who the entries had dropped from.

He only suddenly heard the notification sound:

【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the entries—Fire Affinity Physique, Must Explode Furnace When Refining Pills. Reward points: 2000!】

【Must Explode Furnace When Refining Pills is a negative effect and is currently not in effect.】

Because the battle hadn't ended at the time, Yang Yu couldn't divide his attention and hadn't communicated with the system yet.

Now he finally called out to the system:

"System, are these entries from the same person?"

【Yes, this person is a branch clansman of the Ximen Family, Ximen Yuan, who counts as Ximen Jinghe's nephew.】

"Hehe, dying is good." Yang Yu asked again, "What do these two entries mean?"

【Fire Affinity Physique is considered a prerequisite for an Alchemist. People with this physique have the chance to precisely control flames.】

Yang Yu suddenly understood.

This Fire Affinity Physique was definitely far inferior to various Sacred Bodies.

But it was still quite rare.

With this entry, there was a chance to become an Alchemist.

Even an ordinary Alchemist was far more noble than ordinary warriors...

Yang Yu had the pleasure of opening a treasure chest after grinding small mobs.

"Ximen Yuan has alchemy aptitude, he should have been doing quite well, right? But I haven't heard of this person at all," Yang Yu asked in confusion.

【Host, don't forget his other entry, Must Explode Furnace When Refining Pills.】

"So that's how it is."

Yang Yu slapped his thigh.

Must Explode Furnace When Refining Pills—these words didn't need any explanation.

Even though this kid had the alchemy prerequisite physique, he exploded the furnace every time he refined pills; what kind of Alchemist could he be?

Carrying this thought, Yang Yu asked Bai Zhantian: "Ancestor, do you know if there is a Ximen Yuan in the Ximen Family?"

Bai Zhantian pondered and said:

"It seems there is one. It is said that this child showed good fire-attribute talent, and the Ximen Family originally thought they could cultivate an Alchemist, but when he went to apprentice, he exploded the furnace every time he practiced..."

"If it hadn't happened right here in Ning City, I wouldn't have dared to believe there was such a bizarre thing in the world."

"In the end, Ximen Yuan not only failed to become an Alchemist but also offended several Alchemists. Gradually, he was left to his own devices by the family and faded into the crowd."

"What a wretch; I don't know if he should be considered lucky or unlucky."

Yang Yu couldn't help but mourn in his heart for three seconds.

He would gladly accept the Fire Affinity Physique.

As for Must Explode Furnace When Refining Pills, he would wait for someone fated.

Subsequently, Yang Yu asked the system again:

"Also, I had 4000 points before, and I brushed another 2000 from Ximen Yuan; is it enough for a lottery now?"

【Current points: 6000. The Lottery Machine requires 5000 points this time; does the Host wish to draw?】

"Draw!"

Yang Yu didn't hesitate; his main principle was to use it early and enjoy it early.

【Ding, starting the Lottery Machine! Drawing...】

【Obtained entry—Heaven-Splitting Sword Technique, automatically in effect.】

【Obtained item—True Truth Water (5 bottles).】

【Obtained item—Nightly Fierce (5 bottles).】

【Obtained item—Treasure Tool: Heart of the Black Tortoise.】

【The above physical rewards have been automatically placed in the Space Ring.】

"What the hell? True Truth Water? You are inducing me to walk on a path of illegal crime!"

Yang Yu's tiger body shook, and he said righteously.

【Host, it is True Truth Water; using this item can make people speak the truth and be unable to lie.】

"Oh, that's fine then. What about Nightly Fierce?"

【One bottle down, it can make the Host become vigorous and full of Yang energy, transforming into a ruthless pile-driver...】

"Alright, alright, I don't need that."

Yang Yu cast aside distracting thoughts and focused on the Heaven-Splitting Sword Technique.

This was a sword martial technique.

Because it appeared in the form of an entry, Yang Yu had automatically mastered it, and it was a thorough mastery, equivalent to having practiced it to the extreme.

Wasn't this much more satisfying than searching for martial techniques himself and learning and practicing bit by bit?

Yang Yu was intimately familiar with the Heaven-Splitting Sword Technique and didn't need the system to introduce it.

Simply put, it was a Heaven-Tier Peak martial technique!

Products from the system truly didn't disappoint.

As for that treasure tool, it was called the "Heart of the Black Tortoise," a defensive treasure tool.

Its shape was like a heart, the whole body was translucent dark red, and several patterns were carved inside, faintly forming the appearance of a turtle shell.

Yang Yu didn't ask the system for the specific effects either; he took the item out directly and came to Bai Zhi's side.

"Azhi, give me your hand."

Yang Yu said.

"Ah?"

Bai Zhi was puzzled, but she still followed suit and extended her fair palm.

Yang Yu placed the Heart of the Black Tortoise in her hand and said: "A gift for you."

"What a beautiful pendant," Bai Zhi exclaimed, then hesitated and said, "This is... a treasure tool, right?"

Treasure tools, especially their grade and efficacy, were very difficult to discern with the naked eye alone.

But Bai Zhi had also seen the world and felt at a glance that this item was extraordinary.
