Son, Put Your Father To The Test - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Ancestral Skills

Translator: Zayn_

The next day, early in the morning.

Qin Zi went to Mu Qianyun’s place early in the morning to apologize. His attitude was very sincere.

After Mu Qianyun’s father had spent the night healing and comforting her, she didn’t bother about this matter anymore.

After all, Qin Zi was drugged by a treacherous person. He was also injured by her father. He was also a victim. Moreover, she only suffered a little external injury. It wasn’t a big deal.

After both parties shook hands and made peace, Qin Chuan and his son left the City Lord’s mansion and headed towards Minghao City.

Minghao City!

It was the upper-grade main city of Xunyang City, and was also one of the 36 main cities of the Nine Sun Dynasty. There were many big families in the city, and experts were as numerous as the clouds.

Qin Chuan had already formulated a strategy to become stronger. He would bring his cheap son to the place where the strong gathered and stir up trouble!

That wasn’t right.

It was his cheap son who would stir up trouble.

As for himself… he had to lie low.

That was because only when his son provoked the strong would he become stronger. If he was the one who provoked the strong, then there was nothing he could do.

He was just a firefighter.

He would go only if there was a fire.

If there was no fire, he would get his son to set up a fire!

“Creak, Creak, Creak…”

The steel wheels of the carriage rolled over the uneven wilderness, making continuous sounds.

Qin Chuan personally drove the carriage.

Qin Zi, on the other hand, was cultivating inside.

This could be considered as Qin Chuan’s compensation for his cheap son. Although he was a tool, he couldn’t be mistreated in life.

After all, he was Qin Zi’s father.

The father and son silently advanced for two days.

Finally, Qin Zi asked a question that he had been holding back for a long time, “Father, since you’re so strong, why don’t we fly?”

Wasn’t Father’s seal broken?

His strength should have recovered a lot by now. It should be easy for him to fly with me, right?

“Sigh, silly boy…”

Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly and smiled, “Father’s strength recovery also requires a process. It’s not as fast as you think.”

“Ah?”

Qin Zi’s face stiffened as if he was a little disappointed. Then, he asked, “Then what is your current cultivation level?”

“Half-step Pure Yang realm.”

Qin Chuan answered honestly. He might not be able to hide this kind of thing from the old man in the ring, so he might as well be calm.

Calm represented confidence!

Deliberately hiding it. If it was seen through by others, it would appear timid, which would be self-defeating.

“Then… will we be in danger when we go to the main city?” Qin Zi asked with some worry.

He had long heard that the experts in Minghao City were as numerous as the clouds, and there were quite a number of Pure Yang realm experts. The waters were very deep.

“It’s not that dangerous. Although father’s strength won’t recovered too quickly, but… if we pay a little price, it’s still not a problem to instantly rise to the Nirvana realm or the Heaven realm.”

Qin Chuan said calmly.

“What?!”

Qin Zi, who was originally a little depressed, was immediately revived when he heard this, as if his youth had returned!

He thought for a moment and asked worriedly, “Father, if you speed up the recovery of your cultivation, what price will you have to pay?”

“Nothing.”

Qin Chuan said indifferently, “It might have some impact on the foundation and delay the recovery of the later stages, but the overall effect won’t be big.”

Qin Zi was relieved when he heard that.

It seemed like it was really not a big problem.

In other words… his father was still invincible. At least in the Nine Sun dynasty, he could be invincible at any time!!!

At this moment, Qin Chuan said seriously, “Remember, don’t cause trouble at any time, but… don’t be afraid of trouble!”

“Father will not allow you to cause trouble, but I will also never allow anyone to bully you!!”

Boom!

As he spoke, a huge aura spread out.

It was a kind of self-confidence, an absolute self-confidence, and a type of confidence that didn’t have any hesitation.

No matter who it is, bullying my son would is not allowed!

“Father…”

Unknowingly, Qin Zi’s eyes became moist as he looked at Qin Chuan’s back, unable to speak for a long time.

Within the ring.

The blonde woman was also shocked.

“What a pure aura, what a pure confidence… could it be that he is absolutely invincible in this world?”

She was shocked.

This aura had nothing to do with energy. Instead, it was a confidence that came from the bottom of his heart. It was impossible to have this kind of confidence if he were not the strongest in this world!

…

Another two days passed.

Finally, the father and son arrived at Minghao City.

The thousand-mile city wall stretched as far as the eye could see!

This was a true giant city. The height of the city wall was more than thirty meters, majestic and magnificent.

Looking from afar, the weather above the city was changing. It seemed that the aura of too many experts had gathered together and affected the weather!

“Those who wish to enter the city, pay ten spirit stones per person to enter.”

“Don’t crowd, line up properly.”

At the city gate which was more than thirty meters wide, hundreds of silver armored city guards were maintaining order.

They were also collecting fees.

As a main city, Minghao City had a powerful City Lord and city guards, so they had the confidence to collect fees.

If the City Lord of a smaller city like Xunyang City said that he represented the imperial family, he would be overestimating himself. However, if the city lord of Minghao City said that he represented the imperial family, there would definitely be no problem!

After all, the Nine Sun Dynasty only had a total of 36 main cities. Each City Lord was equivalent to a border official!

“If your carriage enters the city, you’ll have to pay a hundred spirit stones.”

Some city guards stopped some of the people who were driving their carriages. Many of their carriages were loaded with goods, so they could only pay a hundred spirit stones.

As for other people, their carriages were empty. They left their carriages at the city gates and entered the city themselves.

These carriages were not worth a hundred spirit stones!

When these people abandoned their carriages and entered the city, a city guard would come out and take the carriage away.

They were familiar with the road!

It was like a mature industrial chain.

If someone wanted to sell the carriage to the city guards, the city guards would not accept it. However, if they wanted to sell it to someone who wanted to leave the city… the city guards would not allow it.

Thus, the person who drove the carriage over could only consider themselves unlucky.

Qin Chuan did not want to cause trouble for a hundred spirit stones, so he paid a hundred spirit stones and drove the carriage into the city.

After passing through the cold and gloomy city gates that were more than ten meters deep, suddenly, a majestic aura whistled over, causing the air to heat up quite a bit.

Looking around, the wide streets and majestic buildings extended as far as the eyes could see, and the aura was majestic.

People came and went like a surging tide.

Compared to this place, the originally prosperous Xunyang City was almost the same as a small village.

The difference was too big.

“Wow, it’s magnificent!”

Qin Zi walked out of the carriage with a shocked expression on his face. This was the first time he had seen such a scene.

“Hehe, it’s not bad.”

Qin Chuan said without knowing whether it was true or not. There was a hint of disdain between his brows, and then he became indifferent again.

In fact, he was just pretending.

Everything was to maintain the image of an invincible expert. Otherwise, he would also reveal that dumbstruck expression.

After all, it was a cultivation world.

The human body in this world contained explosive power, so it was easier to build buildings. Therefore, the buildings in this world were generally majestic.

If the pyramid was built by the people of this world, it would probably be built in a day. It was definitely not an exaggeration!

“Have you heard? The dynasty’s famous alchemist, Master Pang Qi, is coming to our Minghao City to hold an alchemy convention!”

“What, a crab[1]? Is it the kind of crab that I know of? The kind that deep-fried until golden and crunchy?”

“Hehe, a country bumpkin. You don’t even know about Master Pang Qi. He is a famous fifth-grade alchemist!”

“What, Fifth-grade?!”

“I heard that medicinal pills are a very magical thing. They’re completely different from ordinary spirit herbs. Is that true?”

“Of course. The magical effects of medicinal pills are can’t be matched by spirit herbs that grow naturally. Otherwise, why bother refining pills? If it’s just to increase the utilization rate of spirit herbs, alchemists wouldn’t bother with it!”

“Ah? What miraculous effects?”

“For example, the beauty pill can stimulate the high-quality elements in one’s bloodline, allowing ordinary women to obtain exceptional looks.”

“For example, the bre*st enlargement pill can regulate the internal circulation of one’s body, thus stimulating the development of certain parts. You know…”

“For example, the regeneration pill can swiftly heal one’s injuries. As long as one eats enough of it, one’s severed limbs can grow back!”

“Of course, these are just the basics.”

“There are also the Nightmare Pill, Truth Pill, Bed-wetting pill, Amnesia Pill, S*x Change Pill, Hypnosis pill… with all sorts of strange and bizarre functions. Only you wouldn’t be able to think of them. There aren’t any alchemists who can’t do it.”

“Sss! Is it that terrifying?”

“Haha, don’t worry. Even though the effects of the pill are terrifying, the medicinal formula is extremely rare. Most alchemists only have three or four medicinal formulas. Furthermore, it’s extremely difficult to find all the ingredients.”

“Tsk tsk, Master Pang Qi is holding an alchemy convention. I wonder how many heaven’s favorites in Minghao City will be sharpening their knives.”

“That’s right. After all, not only is Master Pang Qi a grade-five alchemist, his cultivation has also reached the nirvana stage. He’s a true big shot!”

In the distance, Qin Chuan heard the news and couldn’t help but look at his cheap son.

Alchemy??

Could his cheap son stir up some trouble? After all, being a troublemaker was the easiest way to attract hatred.

As for whether his son had the talent for alchemy, he didn’t doubt it at all.

A good-for-nothing didn’t know alchemy?

What a joke!!

Alchemy was an ancestral skill of a good-for-nothing, okay? Even if he didn’t know it yet, he definitely had the talent!

Unless, the old man didn’t give him a meal.[2]

But that was basically impossible.

So, he took a deep look at the ring on his cheap son’s hand and then looked at his cheap son.

“Father wants you to become the champion of this Alchemy Convention… Are you confident?”

Notes:

[1]Pang Qi: a play on words since the name sounds similar to crab in Chinese.

[2]: Qin Chuan is referring to the blonde woman in the ring who should have taught his son some skills, including alchemy. He’s just not aware that she’s not the typical “old grandpa in the ring”, which is the common trope in webnovels..
