Chapter 1103: Chapter 1099: The Secret of the Celestial Dragon Order
Such a formidable Qin Hao, it’s hard for Patriarch Situ not to be afraid.
This is also why he imdiately scolded his daughter after learning Qin Hao’s identity.
In his heart, Qin Hao was simply an unapproachable giant Buddha.
If his daughter provoked him, wasn’t that courting death?
Fortunately, everything was peaceful now.
Qin Hao didn’t mind.
His daughter wasn’t hurt.
If you must say, she was just slapped on the butt a couple of tis. As long as there was no physical harm, it’s not that much of a loss!
Patriarch Situ’s mind flashed with various thoughts.
He showed a bitter expression: "In the face of Mr. Qin’s absolute strength, everything else is aningless, and I have no courage to resist."
"He who understands the tis is a wise man, that phrase seems to be about you, Mr. Situ!" Qin Hao bead brilliantly.
"Thank you for the complint, Mr. Qin." Patriarch Situ flattered, then took out a Token from his pocket: "This is what you’ve been seeking."
"Hmm!" Qin Hao took it, played with it carefully, and after confirming its authenticity by feel, imdiately showed a look of joy.
Another Celestial Dragon Token acquired!
Calculating so far.
The military’s requirent of conquering the Seven Great Families, Qin Hao completed it, aning he got all the Tokens that were lost outside.
This mission seems accomplished.
Reflecting on what he had experienced these days.
Qin Hao felt a sense of things remaining yet the person has changed.
After putting the Token back in his pocket, he sighed: "Not easy!"
"Indeed, not easy." Patriarch Situ suitably flattered: "In the eyes of the world, the Seven Great Families are hard bones to chew. Yet Mr. Qin managed to subdue them all, showcasing such strength and courage that people bow to!"
Qin Hao smiled in silence, and that smile seed humble to Patriarch Situ.
In reality, although there was flattery in Patriarch Situ’s words.
More so, it was heartfelt admiration.
Imagine this.
At the age of twenty-sothing, you are a diocre mber of your family.
Even if your Martial Arts and talent are decent, compared to the current Qin Hao, now you’re just a weakling!
Because he felt inferior, Patriarch Situ genuinely admired Qin Hao.
"Actually, I’ve always had a question." Qin Hao pondered for a mont and asked seriously: "What exactly are these Celestial Dragon Tokens?"
Patriarch Situ was a bit surprised: "You don’t know?"
"No, I don’t." Qin Hao shook his head.
"If Mr. Qin didn’t know, why collect them?" Patriarch Situ showed a puzzled expression.
Qin Hao smirked silently, seeing this, Patriarch Situ didn’t ask further but said: "To speak of the origin of the Celestial Dragon Tokens, we have to trace back many years!"
"Fifty years ago, in Beijing, there were countless Major Clans; it was a ti of a hundred schools of thought contending."
"During that period, three families were among the elites, but their true strength was far from what it is now."
"Later, a ssenger from the Ancient Martial Clan brought news: It was rumored that beyond the East Sea, there’s a mysterious Celestial Dragon Island, shrouded in mist, with a strong magnetic field that makes it hard for ships or planes to approach."
"And this ssenger said he was willing to contribute nine Celestial Dragon Tokens, the keys to unlock Celestial Dragon Island, to cultivate local forces in Huaxia."
"Later, a grand contest was held in Beijing, where four erging Noble Families and three Major Clans dominated and seized seven Celestial Dragon Tokens. One piece was left to the military for balance of power. The last piece was temporarily held by that ssenger."
"Oh..." Qin Hao grew interested, "What’s actually on Celestial Dragon Island?"
Patriarch Situ’s face showed longing: "At that ti, I was just a child and didn’t know what Celestial Dragon Island ant. Later, when Celestial Dragon Island was opened, many young disciples of various families went there. When they returned, their strength had trendously increased, and many also brought back precious gold, silver, jewels, and longevity-extending dicinal herbs."
"So, it’s a treasure trove, then?" Qin Hao squinted his eyes.
"You could say that." Patriarch Situ’s expression turned sowhat fanatic: "Moreover, there’s a rumor of a miraculous Broken Mirror Pill on the island. Once taken, anyone can achieve immortality!"
"Immortality?" Qin Hao scoffed.
He didn’t believe such things.
As an Alchemy Master, he certainly knew the limits of the human body’s endurance to dicinal effects.
If an ordinary person consus elixirs surpassing their body’s limits, they would surely collapse and die.
Perhaps those elixirs have energy-boosting effects.
But to directly beco immortal?
That’s just wishful thinking, like tales from ghost stories!
Patriarch Situ’s gaze regained a bit of clarity: "The claim of an Immortal Pill granting ascension is indeed exaggerated, but it’s certainly true that anyone who took that Elixir underwent a tamorphosis and broke through their current realm. Because back then, the ssenger was the one who consud that pill."
"Oh?" Qin Hao suddenly beca interested. Seems like this guy isn’t a saint either, but has his own little calculations.
Patriarch Situ’s face turned indignant: "Looking back now, it’s still hard to digest. Actually, the ssenger had no good intentions. He distributed the Celestial Dragon Tokens knowing that Celestial Dragon Island held various dangers, intending to use the families to blaze a trail."
"Blazing a trail with lives." Qin Hao’s eyes narrowed gradually. Indeed, people from the Ancient Martial Clan are no good!
Pan Li was right!
"Indeed, we were blazing a trail with our lives." Patriarch Situ’s face darkened, "While many obtained fortunes, even more left their bones on the island and never returned."
"What about the ssenger who took the Immortal Pill?" This was the question Qin Hao was most concerned about.
"Later on, the Seven Great Families, feeling used, tried to coerce the ssenger into handing over other fortunes. Through a bloody battle, that ssenger, akin to the Divine Realm, crushed the families and then vanished without a trace. Because one Token was missing, Celestial Dragon Island could no longer be opened. However, thanks to the previous fortunes obtained, the Seven Noble Families’ martial and financial power steadily increased, eventually solidifying into the current situation."
After the story was told, Qin Hao fell into deep thought.
Patriarch Situ continued: "So to put it plainly, since the last Token is missing and the island cannot be opened, the Token is just a token, of no real use."
"So you felt there was no issue in handing it over." Qin Hao muttered matter-of-factly.
"Correct." Patriarch Situ said seriously: "I hope Mr. Qin won’t bla ."
"How could I." Qin Hao smiled again, finally understanding many things.
So it turns out that the Celestial Dragon Token serves this purpose.
