"Old Master Murong Bei... is already... dead..."

After Qin Tian finished speaking, his tone fell into a deep pause.

Then, he saw Cao Taiji's face first exhibit a look of shock, and then his expression instantly changed to one of extreme pain.

"Dead? How is that possible! In this place, with his abilities, nothing should have gone wrong!"

At first, Cao Taiji's tone was calm, but later he became somewhat agitated, his eyes even glistening with moisture.

"Who exactly did this? Who was so ruthless?!"

Immediately, Cao Taiji's tone turned sharp as he glared at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian explained the grievances between the Murong Family and the Shangguan Family in detail, saying: "So far, we've avenged most of the old master's death. The Shangguan Family has been seized by the police, the entire family wiped out, only that mastermind Shangguan Zhenxiong is still at large."

"Hmm?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, this Shangguan Zhenxiong is a low-level disciple of a Cultivation Immortality Sect, the Spiritual Cloud Sect, so he is an Immortality Cultivator. So far, he has been hiding with some cultivators from the Spiritual Cloud Sect, and I haven't found him yet."

"Spiritual Cloud Sect..."

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Cao Taiji took an interest in the Spiritual Cloud Sect, muttering to himself: "That Spiritual Cloud Sect, in that place, is no more than a bandit lair of a sect, not noticeable at all. Hmph, when they come to Earth, they actually think they can walk sideways, truly laughable, truly hateful!"

Qin Tian said, "The place you're referring to, old man, is the Spiritual Domain, right?"

Swoosh!

Once Qin Tian said this, Cao Taiji was momentarily stunned, then he stared closely at Qin Tian. After staring for a few seconds, he finally asked, "You, you... How do you, boy, even know..."

"You're wondering how I know about the Spiritual Domain, aren't you?"

Qin Tian gave a faint smile and then directly retorted, "Then first tell me, how do you know about the Spiritual Domain?"

"Hiss..."

Cao Taiji grinned, saying, "I can't tell you that for now, but I'll explain it to you in the future. Boy, first you tell me how you know about cultivation, how you know there's a place called the Spiritual Domain!"

Cao Taiji's tone was very careful, his expression serious, showing he was highly concerned about this question.

Qin Tian thought for a moment, then said, "As for that question... I can't tell you for now, but I'll explain it to you when the time is right."

"..."

Cao Taiji was left speechless by Qin Tian's retort. Qin Tian chuckled, "Old man, I'm not just mimicking you; I genuinely can't tell you about it right now."

Without waiting for Cao Taiji to speak, Qin Tian continued, "You've finished asking your questions, now it's my turn to ask you."

"Hehe, boy, I'm aware of what you're going to ask. I have to remind you, though, that it's not the right time, and there are some questions I can't answer. Go ahead and ask."

Even before Qin Tian started asking questions, Cao Taiji's words had rendered him speechless, as he probably guessed which questions Cao Taiji wouldn't answer.

"Ahem... So, master, where did you get those seeds of Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Grass from? Hehe..."

Qin Tian coughed twice, almost making Cao Taiji spew out a mouthful of old blood with the first question.

"Boy, you might as well not call me master. Every time you call me that, I know you mean no good."

Cao Taiji purse his lips and said, "But I can answer that question. I got those seeds from an ancient box. Well, don't get your hopes up; there were only two batches of Spiritual Flower and Spiritual Grass seeds. I planted one batch last year, and here, this year, these are the Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Grass from the remaining seeds."

"Stingy..."

Qin Tian sighed, feeling a bit speechless, then he asked again, "Old man, just curious, what cultivation level have you reached now? At least Qi Refining Late Stage, right?"

As soon as Qin Tian mentioned "Qi Refining Late Stage," Cao Taiji's expression changed.

For Qin Tian to even know the levels of cultivation so clearly, he must have figured out the path to cultivation!

"Hahaha..."

"Hahaha..."

After a few seconds of silence, Cao Taiji suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes moist!

Qin Tian stood there stunned, suddenly nervous.

Damn, old man, what's with the laughter turned tears? This is confusing!

The city is full of traps; I want to go back to the countryside!

"The heavens have eyes, the heavens have eyes! Master, you didn't expect this, did you? Hahaha... A noble lineage will never be buried, never!"

Cao Taiji spouted emotionally, while Qin Tian stared at him like a fool.

After his chant, Qin Tian curiously asked, "Old man, what on Earth are you doing? Are you going to become a monk, chanting sutras?"

Before Cao Taiji could answer, Qin Tian immediately followed up, "The noble bloodline you're talking about, are you referring to me?"

On hearing this, Cao Taiji was momentarily stunned, then shook his head: "Not you, you misheard."

"I didn't mishear."

Qin Tian's expression turned serious, as he recalled what Du Qiuniang had told him—his lineage was extraordinary!

"Old man, tell me, am I a descendant of the Dragon Flame Clan?"

After thinking for a moment, Qin Tian asked boldly.

Thud!

This question hit Cao Taiji like Five Thunders Bombarding, leaving his head buzzing, causing him to stagger back several steps to steady himself.

"You, you... What Dragon Flame Clan, nonsense!"

After a few seconds of shock, Cao Taiji forcibly suppressed his shocked expression, saying: "Boy, don't overthink. Just focus on cultivation. I won't answer this question for you, but I'll give you half of the Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Grass here."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian should have been happy, but his curiosity overtook his happiness as he said, "Old man, I know my bloodline is special; there's no need to hide it from me. I already know. Not only do I know about the four mysterious races in this world, but I also know that my Dragon Flame Clan is one of them, and—"

As he spoke, Qin Tian rolled up his sleeve, exposing his right wrist to Cao Taiji, "This birthmark on my vein is one of the signs of my Dragon Flame Clan heritage, right?"

Qin Tian's volley of questions froze Cao Taiji's expression!

Standing still, he looked at Qin Tian with disbelief, his voice trembling as he asked, "Little Tian, where did you... hear all this from?"

"Don't ask about that, old man. My lineage is unusual, isn't it? Now tell me, what is my real heritage? What exactly is the Dragon Flame Clan?"
