Perhaps Ji Rui would be terribly curious by then?

“People in a family don’t hide things from one another. I came to see you mainly because there’s something else I want to ask you.”

Ji Zheng was very aware that if his daughter was unwilling, he could not rush the matter of having a grandson.

Chu Feng was a little stunned when he heard that.

“Ask away, Father. I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Ji Zheng smiled and asked, “Can you tell me where the immortal who gave your family the elixir came from?”

“This…”

Chu Feng immediately put on a troubled expression.

He said with a conflicted look on his face, “You’ve really stumped me. After all, this is something passed down from our ancestors and it’s been many years since then. Whether I know it or not, even if I say the name, I’m afraid everything may have already changed since then.”

Chu Feng guessed that Ji Zheng may have wanted to make a personal visit and investigate the matter of the Ancient Wonder Elixir.

He must not be allowed to get suspicious, otherwise wouldn’t it expose the secret that I was hiding?

“Besides, perhaps the immortal may have just been passing by. Even if we go looking, we might not find any clues.”

“Father, do you intend to ask the immortal for another elixir?”

Ji Zheng shook his head and sighed softly.

“No, it’s just that I found an extremely rare material in the elixir you gave me back then. It was this thing that solved the issue that had puzzled me for thousands of years and revealed a secret to me.”

“It seems that the heavens don’t want us mortals to see the heavenly secrets!”

“It’s getting harder and harder to advance to the level of Martial Emperor now. It’s just that I’m missing one thing…”

Chu Feng was puzzled.

“What is it that’s so important?”

“This thing is called Origin Energy, similar to the essence of heaven and earth that everyone talks about. Warriors can use Origin Energy to advance their realm, but Origin Energy is not inexhaustible. I guess that after exhausting the Origin Energy over a thousand years, warriors will no longer be able to advance to the Martial Emperor realm. Even Martial Sages can’t…”

Chu Feng said in surprise, “Origin Energy?”

“I was only able to comprehend this after taking the Ancient Wonder Elixir that you gave me.”

“Chu Feng, I understand that I don’t have much time left, but Rui’er is a genius. She only used 3,000 years of her lifespan to advance to the Martial Emperor realm and she might have higher attainments in the future. I want to ask an immortal for an elixir that will help her in her cultivations.”

Chu Feng shook his head and said, “It’s a pity that the Chu family only has one elixir and would not be able to meet Father’s expectations.”

He tried his best to suppress the smile on his lips. He could not let the old man know that there were hundreds of elixirs of higher quality in his small backpack, at least 150 of them.

He had casually thrown these elixirs into his backpack, thinking that he might be able to use them one day.

“Forget it. I’m afraid you won’t know about this either.”

Ji Zheng waved his hand in disappointment and continued, “Fortunately, the current Dual Polarity Sect is already four times stronger than before. It’s rumored that Martial Emperors were buried with many treasures and I’m already searching for the tombs now.”

“Perhaps I can find some clues about the Ancient Wonder Elixir in these tombs.”

Chu Feng felt very helpless.

“Then your humble son-in-law hopes that Father can find these Martial Emperors’ tombs as soon as possible. If there’s any news from my father, I’ll also immediately inform you.”

He cupped his hands together and said seriously.

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t find it as it’s a hopeless situation to begin with. No matter what, you’re part of my Dual Polarity Sect.”

Ji Zheng said with a smile and disappeared in an instant under Chu Feng’s nose.

“Tsk, what happened to running out of time? This old man definitely doesn’t look like he’s about to die.”

Chu Feng lay back in his recliner and took a sip of cold tea.

In the meeting hall, a disciple of the Dual Polarity Sect dressed in black and white knelt down in greeting.

“Sect master, the sect master of the Seamless Sect requests to see you.”

Ever since the war last month ended, the Dual Polarity Sect had changed their previously low-profile attitude. They severely punished the stubborn forces of the three major sects and took over their territories.

Immediately, the Dual Polarity Sect became one of the top three sects in the Divine Continent. The old sect master, Ji Zheng, became even more legendary.

After all, reaching the Martial Emperor realm was something that countless warriors could only dream of in their lifetimes, let alone advancing to the Martial Emperor realm under everyone’s watchful eyes!

The disciples of the Dual Polarity Sect were especially proud. They could finally hold their heads high in front of the other three major sects.

Looking at her disciple’s respectful gaze, Ji Rui narrowed her eyes and said, “Xu Yi, the sect master of the Seamless Sect? What does he want?”

“This… Sect master Xu Yi said that he can only reveal the news after personally meeting you, sect master.”

Ji Rui was not surprised. She nodded and said, “Then send him in to talk.”

“Yes!”

The disciple instantly disappeared, immediately reappearing outside the hall and cupping his hands to greet the sect master of the Seamless Sect, Xu Yi.

“Sect master Xu, please enter the hall for a chat.”

Xu Yi’s eyes lit up when he saw this disciple.

Not long after, a slightly burly old man with white hair and beard appeared in the hall. He stood far away and bowed to Ji Rui.

“Greetings, sect master. I am the sect master of the Seamless Sect, Xu Yi.”

Xu Yi did not dare to look up at Ji Rui.

Although the sect master of the Dual Polarity Sect was only a ninth-stage Martial Sage, Ji Rui’s biological father had the strength of a Martial Emperor and they had just annexed the three major sects. In time, the Dual Polarity Sect would completely take over the foundations of the other three major sects and would definitely become one of the top three sects.

At that time, the Dual Polarity Sect would definitely be a powerful force.

Xu Yi’s expression became even more respectful.

Although he was unable to attend Ji Rui’s wedding, he had trusted friends who attended the ceremony.

That unprecedented battle was definitely more deadly than what the rumors said!

With the martial arts practitioners who attended the ceremony spreading the news, there was almost no warrior within a radius of a million miles who had not heard of the name of the old sect master of the Dual Polarity Sect, Ji Zheng!

He was only the sect master of a small sect. His only wish in life was to step into the Martial Sage realm.

If his cultivation depended only on the absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he would probably reach the end of his lifespan before he could become a Martial Sage.

The Seamless Sect was a small place with many people. Even if they obtained any natural treasures, it would not be enough for so many people to share. It was impossible for him to expect them to provide for him alone.

One of their rules was that the disciples could exchange for cultivation resources in accordance with their contributions to the sect. The same rule applied to the sect master.

However, Xu Yi had never bothered to do so. After all, every mission assigned by the elders was very exhausting.
