Chapter 2871 - 2891: It’s really not easy to be the head of the family!

Chapter 2871: Chapter 2891: It’s really not easy to be the head of the family!

Lin Chen pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "Senior, why not make him serve you as master? Even if he harbors any scheming thoughts, it would be easy for him to calculate against me, but not so easy against you..."

Zhen Liuxue pursed her lips and chuckled softly, "You’re quick-minded, aren’t you? But don’t you want to personally control a Quasi-Saint?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "Safety first, I don’t want to keep such a ticking time bomb by my side. Following you is the same as following me, right? Anyway, Senior, you’re not planning to leave for a while."

Zhen Liuxue nodded, "That works, then leave it to me. If I need to leave later, we’ll make other arrangements."

"Good!"

Taoist Duan Tian listened as the two discussed the matter openly, his heart fluctuating wildly. When he finally heard them come to an agreement, securing his own small life in the process, he let out a huge sigh of relief.

He had managed to survive!

Zhen Liuxue turned her head to stare at Taoist Duan Tian, "We can spare your life, but you must first surrender everything. From now on, you are no longer yourself; you are merely a slave to me and Lin Chen. Whether it’s me or him asking you to do anything, you must not resist in the slightest, or else, I will make your soul fly apart and scatter."

By this point, Taoist Duan Tian had nothing else to consider—being alive was already quite good.

"Yes!"

Zhu Yuqiu watched helplessly as Taoist Duan Tian and Zhen Liuxue struck a deal, and she cried out in despair, "He took over my body, and none of you care? Just because he is a Quasi-Saint?"

"Nagging!"

Zhen Liuxue glanced at Zhu Yuqiu with disgust, "If you had not attacked Lin Chen and had truly been grateful, then how could Lin Chen have allowed you to be robbed of your body? Since you chose to harm others, your death is well-deserved. What right do you have to play the victim and plead here?"

Zhen Liuxue casually pointed and a streak of golden light shot into Zhu Yuqiu’s forehead.

Zhu Yuqiu, floating in mid-air, let out a scream, her figure instantly collapsing and rapidly disappearing from sight.

The figure of Taoist Duan Tian then shrank back into the forehead, fully occupying Zhu Yuqiu’s body, and then began to fuse with it.

Lin Chen asked, "Although he’s a Quasi-Saint, this body is only of Lower Grade Great Luo Initial Immortal. After the fusion, what realm will he achieve?"

Zhen Liuxue answered, "The reason he sought out his daughter and not someone else is because of blood ties. Now that he has taken over a body and been reborn, as long as his Primordial Spirit is nourished and recovers, he can elevate this body to a Peak Great Luo Xian or even Quasi-Saint in a very short period of time."

"Your father’s Primordial Spirit was weaker, but he took over a higher realm body. This condition will be of great help for future Tribulation Crossing, making it much simpler, but the specific improvements still require your father’s own cultivation and climbing."

"His situation is the opposite of your father’s’, with a Primordial Spirit already at the Quasi-Saint Realm—both his strength and understanding of the Dao are very high. Under such circumstances, rapidly improving the body’s realm is very easy."

Lin Chen immediately understood and laughed, "So you mean, as long as we give him some time, we might actually gain a true Quasi-Saint slave?"

"Exactly. Thus, his life is worth sparing."

Zhen Liuxue smiled, "Normally, those who reach the Quasi-Saint realm in strength are mostly very proud, preferring death or the destruction of their Dao over submitting to others as slaves. Just like the Thousand Demon Monarch, who would rather die in battle than surrender to the Demon Race."

"However, this Taoist Duan Tian is clearly not such a person. It’s actually to our advantage. For us, it’s a good thing."

Lin Chen burst out laughing, "This trip through the bitter seas, we’ve made a killing. It wasn’t in vain coming here!"

After some time, Taoist Duan Tian completely merged with Zhu Yuqiu’s body and became the new master of it.

Lin Chen looked at the enchantingly beautiful woman before him, thinking about how her body now housed a grim-faced middle-aged man, and he felt a chill in his heart.

It’s just as well that I only accepted to be a hired hand, a slave—if this were about making friends, I’m sure it would have disgusted me to death.

Taoist Duan Tian offered his True Soul and entrusted his life and possessions to Zhen Liuxue, not bothering to discuss any terms. He was very much aware that he had no right to discuss any terms at all. If he angered her, she was truly capable of annihilating him.

In pain, Taoist Duan Tian removed the branding from the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup, which left him increasingly languid. After all, this was his Life-bound magical treasure, akin to a part of his body—and the most important part at that. How could he not feel pain cutting it out himself?

Upon receiving the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup, Lin Chen examined it with his Divine Sense and immediately understood its formidable power.

In simple terms, the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup was a fire amplifying device. When exerting fire-based Divine Powers, after absorbing the Master’s spiritual power, the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup could amplify its power several times over.

The astonishing power of Fire Dragon Group Kill, previously used by Taoist Duan Tian, was immense. But in reality, without the amplification ability of the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup, the power he could exert in his Remnant Soul state might not even trouble the Five Great Demonic Beasts.

Having understood the function of the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup, Lin Chen was delighted. The cultivation technique he practiced, the Sun Scripture, attacked enemies with True Sun Fire, and its power was astounding. If he used the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup as well, the power would be multiplied several times over!

Truly worthy of being an Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Lin Chen immediately refined the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup, imprinting his Spiritual Imprint on it. From this point onward, when encountering enemies in battle, Lin Chen had one more overwhelmingly powerful Divine Power at his disposal.

Taoist Duan Tian revealed a secret about his own Cave Mansion, which was a refuge he had prepared for emergencies. In this secret Cave Mansion, he had stored a wealth of good things, including Magical Treasures, cultivation resources, and many rare items.

The group happily set off and, after spending several months, finally arrived at the secret Cave Mansion.

Following Taoist Duan Tian’s instructions, the group made it through the intricately concealed entrance, full of traps, into the Cave Mansion.

The Cave Mansion wasn’t big, and it appeared empty inside. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing at all.

Guided by Taoist Duan Tian, the group found a hidden compartment under an ordinary-looking Stone Table, where a Spatial Ring was concealed.

After the group took inventory of the items inside the Spatial Ring, Lin Chen’s eyes lit up.

There were too many good things inside!

Inside the Spatial Ring, there were other Spatial Rings, each containing different types of treasures.

Medicinal pills, weapon refining materials, natural treasures, finished Magical Treasures, Cultivation Technique books...

Lin Chen’s eyes widened as he turned and asked, "With so many items, did you rob an Xianmen?"

Taoist Duan Tian nodded and replied, "Some I gathered myself, and some from emptying a few Xianmen Treasure Vaults. In my normal state, I couldn’t use them either, and I was afraid of any mishaps if I carried them on me, so I stored them here, just in case."

Emptying a few Xianmen Treasure Vaults?

No wonder there were so many items. Now they were all to his benefit.

"Struck it rich!"

Lin Chen laughed heartily, "This trip was well worth it. With so many resources, I won’t have to worry for a long time."

Zhen Liuxue laughed and said, "Don’t forget about the rewards from the Book Sea Pavilion."

Lin Chen laughed out loud, "Cultivation resources, the more the better. Who would ever complain about having too many of these? Moreover, when we reach the Crimson Immortal Domain, when the family reunites, I should bring some gifts for them. What better gift than cultivation resources?"

Zhen Liuxue, already aware of the situation with Lin Chen’s companions, couldn’t help but chuckle and say, "Well, that’s true. With so many women in your life, it’s truly not easy being the head of the family..."
