Zhen Family's Gains, Making Amends

At this moment, Lin Yi, who had just left the main hall of Martial Saint City, stepped into the Zhen Family of Martial Saint City.

The Zhen Family is located in the deep Thunder Valley, where thunderclouds gather. Their main hall stands high in the sky, resembling a thunder halberd stuck upside down in the earth.

"Deputy Prefect Qin, the duel with you in the hall earlier was all Qian Poqiong's idea. Although you have a strained relationship with my Zhen Family, I, your ancestor, still admire you and have never wanted to be your enemy..."

The towering main hall of the Lei Family was surrounded by dense thunderclouds and flashes of lightning.

Inside the hall, seated at the head of the table, Zhen Changsheng warmly welcomed Lin Yi, even presenting Lin Yi with a portion of the Zhen Family's specialty Thunder Liquid Spirit Brew.

Thunder Liquid Spirit Brew is Gold Grade Spiritual Wine with a renowned reputation in the Ancient Domain. It can temper the body and forge the internal organs, accelerating the cultivation speed of the first three realms of Martial Saint.

Lin Yi took a sip, realized it was something, and unceremoniously put it in his hand.

"Ancestor Zhen, this wine is quite good..."

Seeing Lin Yi drinking and holding the bottle, Zhen Changsheng's smile became even brighter.

He wasn't afraid of Lin Yi's greed, but he was afraid that Lin Yi would take nothing and still hold a grudge against the Zhen Family.

"Deputy Prefect Qin, the promise made by our ancestor is of course kept. Since I haven't lost my Secret Realm Slot, besides the ' Town Law Thunder Fist ' from the Qiankun Technique, the million Source Stone you requested are also on their way..."

"Finally, here are some trinkets from my Zhen Family's Treasure Vault. If you need them, just ask!"

Zhen Changsheng seemed to have been prepared, and handed over a booklet containing the treasures of the Zhen Family Treasure Vault.

Lin Yi glanced at it and found that the precious items were not in the manual.

Only some materials of blue and Purple Grade are available.

In addition, the manual also lists a few Martial Saint Pill.

However, since Lin Yi could refine high- Superior Martial Saint Pill low-grade materials, he naturally wouldn't bother exchanging Martial Saint Pill.

Lin Yi flipped through the back of the manual and finally found the Talent Stone.

There are only two.

"Does Deputy Prefect Qin perhaps want this kind of stone?"

Zhen Changsheng was somewhat surprised by Lin Yi's choice.

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Yes, this stone is useful to me. If Ancestor Zhen collects similar stones in the future, Qin, can exchange them for a Superior Martial Saint Pill."

Now that more and more high-ranking members of the Ancient Domain know his identity, Lin Yi Yi's combat power and methods have skyrocketed. Lin Yi is no longer bothered to hide his need for Talent Stone.

If Lin Yi can use the power of the Ancient Domain Martial Arts Clan to collect Talent Stone in the Ancient Domain, he should be able to gather a considerable number of Talent Stone in a short period of time.

As for whether people would suspect his identity, Lin Yi said he didn't care.

After all, he is the future Prefect of Tong Pass.

Lin Yi, who can suppress Ninth Realm Martial Saint, already possesses the domineering aura to overturn tables in the Ancient Domain.

"As long as it is Deputy Prefect Qin's request, Ancestor Er will do his best to fulfill it. However, within the Ancient Secret Realm, we ask Deputy Prefect Qin to take good care of us."

Zhen Changsheng's actions in seeking out Lin Yi were also calculated.

This eruption of Profound Yellow Qi in the Ancient Secret Realm is a rare sight, occurring only once every few thousand kilometers. If one could explore it with Lin Yi, they could likely reap a massive amount of Profound Yellow Qi.

At this moment, inside the Thunder Valley Hall, several elders Steward of the Zhen Family stepped into the hall, accompanied by lightning and Rainbow Light.

Looking at Lin Yi, who was sitting in the main seat and drinking Thunder Liquid Spirit Brew, the elders of the Zhen Family all frowned.

It can be said that the entire Zhen Family has absolutely no goodwill towards this Qin Zhen Family Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass who likes to make things difficult for them.

Everyone knows that Qin Jian is the Zhen Family's enemy.

Everyone bowed and said, "Greetings, Ancestor!"

Zhen Changsheng spoke up, "Have you retrieved the Source Stone I asked you to prepare? Also, retrieve this stone from the Treasure Vault. Wait, add three more jars of Thunder Liquid Spirit Brew..."

Several Zhen Family Steward couldn't help but say, "Ancestor, the Source Stone are one thing, but the Thunder Liquid Spirit Brew is a secret treasure of our Zhen Family. Even the youngest Martial Saint in the family isn't enough for it..."

Zhen Changsheng's expression changed instantly, and he angrily cursed, "Why are you talking so much nonsense when I told you to bring it? And were you blind when you came in? Didn't you recognize Deputy Prefect Qin next to me? Did you eat dog's stomach when you learned etiquette?"

"This..."

The elders of the Zhen Family were thoroughly scolded. After exchanging bewildered glances, they had no choice but to bow to Lin Yi.

They didn't know why their ancestor had brought back their family's enemy after going out, and treated him with such respect.

In the main seat of the hall, Lin Yi Thunder Liquid Spirit Brew with a smile on his face.

"Ancestor Zhen, back when I was at the Seventeenth Tong Pass, I encountered a junior member of the Zhen Family named Zhen Nantian. This man was arrogant and unruly, and relied on the Zhen Family's background to look down on everyone. He coveted my wife. In fact, my conflict with the Zhen Family began with this man."

"And then there's Zhen Xianguang from your Zhen Family; the Ancient Secret Realm is also very hostile towards Qin..."

Lin Yi wanted to know the names of several Zhen Family with whom he had a bad relationship, so he gave them all.

"Zhen Nantian? Zhen Xianguang... Good, my Zhen Family actually has such people who have ruined the relationship between Deputy Prefect Qin and our Zhen Family. These people deserve to die!"

Zhen Changsheng, enraged, roared like thunder, then ordered, "Expel Zhen Nantian Martial Saint City, never to return, and Zhen Xianguang too..."

A Zhen Family Steward hurriedly reminded him, "Ancestor, Zhen Xianguang Xianguang's position is still above ours; we are not qualified to handle this..."

"Very well, I'll punish Xian Guang!"

Zhen Changsheng turned to Lin Yi Yiyu and said, "Deputy Prefect Qin, rest assured, I, the patriarch, will definitely give an explanation to anyone in the Zhen Family who has offended you."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Ancestor Zhen is truly righteous!"

"I dare not accept such praise. If Ancient Domain are talking about Ninth Realm Martial Saint who is quick to act, righteous, and courageous, then it must be me, Zhen Changsheng!"

Zhen Changsheng patted his chest, shamelessly embellishing his image.

After the Zhen Family's stewards brought Lin Yi the million Source Stone, two Talent Stone, and other items he had requested, Lin Yi left the Zhen Family satisfied.

Back in the main hall, Zhen Changsheng's face was gloomy and uncertain, completely devoid of the smile he had shown when he was with Lin Yi earlier.

One of the Zhen Family Steward asked anxiously, "Ancestor, are you treating ' Qin Jian ' so well because you want to mend relations?"

"What are you all asking, Ancestor? Remember this: if you ever encounter Qin Jian again, be all smiles. If anyone dares to offend him again, before he even makes a move, I'll grind you to dust!"

Another Guan He asked in bewilderment, "Ancestor, my Zhen Family has a profound foundation, no less than that of Tongguan Prefecture. This Qin Jian is merely the Deputy Prefect of Tongguan Prefecture. Why do you attach such importance to him?"

Zhen Changsheng pointed to the charred black skin on his face that hadn't fully healed. "What do you know? Look at the black skin wound on my face, it was Qin Jian who did it. It's no exaggeration to call this person's talent a monster. If our Zhen Family doesn't resolve the feud with this person, judging from this kid's personality, the Zhen Family will be dealt with by him sooner or later!"

"This..."

Zhen Family Elder Steward revealed an incredulous expression.

They assumed the injury on their ancestor's face was from sparring with other Nine-Realm Ancestor, but they never expected it to be Qin Jian's.

It seems that this Deputy Prefect Qin we really shouldn't offend.
