Chapter 976 976: Rules!
Strong!So strong!
According to Baili Qiurong, he is unimaginably powerful!
With only half-step master cultivation, he turns the tide of battle—a feat only a "Heavenly Chosen Son" can achieve!
"Young Master Qin, on behalf of our Baili Family, we are immensely grateful!"
Baili Yanghong respectfully bowed to Qin Feng in gratitude.
"No need to be so polite; I just lent a helping hand for the sake of the world," Qin Feng said. "By the way, I'm here to ask for the Baili Family's help with something."
"Young Master Qin, feel free to speak; our Baili Family will not hesitate to assist!"
Baili Yanghong said.
Qin Feng took out the Nine-layered Banner and said, "I would like to ask the Baili Family to develop a Transmission Array for me."
"Uh..."
Baili Yanghong was slightly taken aback, and the others exchanged glances.
Everyone fell silent at this moment.
"Is there a problem?"
Seeing their troubled expressions, Qin Feng was very puzzled.
Baili Yanghong hesitated, then said, "Well, let's first invite Mr. Qin to a room to rest and then discuss the matter later."
"...Alright!"
Qin Feng had no choice but to agree.
His left arm was still severely injured and needed time for treatment.
A moment later.
In the hall.
Several senior members of the Baili Family gathered around a table, each with a troubled look.
The Baili Family had a rule.
All arrays can only be used by their own family and cannot be arranged for outsiders, nor taught to outsiders, and absolutely not used for profit.
This rule was laid down by their ancestor hundreds of years ago when they retired from the martial world to sever ties with it.
The Baili Family had adhered to this rule for hundreds of years.
No matter who came to request their array services, they would politely refuse, no matter how much money was offered.
They only arranged arrays for their own use or to act on behalf of heaven, like suppressing the menacing Southern Abyss Ghost Land.
So, when Young Master Bai He from Sun and Moon Villa knelt here for seven days and nights, he still learned no arrays, and many sects and forces also caused trouble for the Baili Family, trying to force them to give up their secret books.
But on one hand, the Baili Family's arrays were powerful, and no one dared to act rashly.
On the other hand, everyone knew they had been suppressing the ghost energy of the Southern Abyss Ghost Land. If their family was annihilated, righteous people like Yun Kong Temple and Xinghua Gully would also intervene.
Thus, the Baili Family had remained safe and peaceful over the years.
In fact, if it weren't for the Southern Abyss Ghost Land, many outside would've forgotten about the Baili Family's existence.
"What should we do now? He destroyed the Ghost Spirit King, doing our Baili Family a great favor. Without him, our family might not even exist," one person sighed, clearly troubled.
"Yes! Although his request isn't excessive, it does violate our centuries-old rule, a disgrace to our ancestors!"
Baili Yanghong said, conflicted.
The group fell into silence once more.
The Baili Family had always been about sentiment and gratitude, but now they were in a dilemma.
"Wait."
One person's eyes lit up at this moment and said, "We could offer other treasures as thanks instead!"
"Ahem, do you think our treasure can compare to the items he casually showed, like a pile of Spiritual Energy Gems or a Blood Bodhi? Also, our Spirit Stones have been exhausted maintaining the Demon Suppression Formation lately."
Baili Yanghong said, embarrassed.
The Baili Family had little outside contact and almost no treasures except for the Spirit Stones necessary for array formation.
And recently, they consumed a large amount of Spirit Stones.
Not to mention, they still owed Qin Feng a bunch of Spiritual Energy Gems.
"..."
The people became silent again.
At this moment.
The elder sitting at the top slowly said, "In truth, we do have one treasure."
When Baili Yanghong and the others heard this, they couldn't help but tense up, saying, "Grandpa, you, you don't mean... the Floating Light Stone, do you?!!"
The words fell.
Everyone present was dumbfounded and became agitated.
"Absolutely not!"
"That Floating Light Stone was unearthed after nearly a hundred years in the Southern Abyss Ghost Land. It's priceless!"
"Years ago, a genius surnamed Jiang spent a long time there, surviving countless near-death experiences, but still didn't find it. How can we just give it away?"
"Yes! It's reserved for the young mistress."
"..."
The group was abuzz with argument.
Grandpa Baili raised his hand to calm them and then said, "Let me ask you, do you think the Floating Light Stone is more important, or is upholding our hundreds-of-years-old rule more important?"
"Of course, the rule is more important."
The group answered without hesitation.
Particularly when it comes to a rule kept by generations for a few hundred years.
"Then that's settled. To uphold the rule, we must present a worthy treasure as thanks, ensuring our benefactor doesn't request arrays. Do we have any other treasures besides the Floating Light Stone?"
Grandpa Baili said.
"..."
The group was again abuzz with discussion.
Ultimately helpless.
They looked toward Baili Qiurong.
The Baili Family was now led by her father, Baili Yanghong, but everyone knew her talent for arrays was remarkable and she was already gradually taking over leadership.
The Floating Light Stone was originally intended for her.
At that moment.
Under everybody's gazes, Baili Qiurong said, "He has saved me twice, sacrificing an arm for me, so I agree to give him the Floating Light Stone as thanks. What's more, this Floating Light Stone could heal his arm."
"Alright! Since Qiu Rong has made a decision, so be it!"
Baili Yanghong and the others said.
...
In Qin Feng's room.
Yu Xing'er gently applied potion to Qin Feng's "scorched" left arm, looking as though she might cry from worry.
Qin Feng, feeling embarrassed, said, "No need for that, it's not like it can't be healed."
"Husband, I know you're comforting me. Don't worry, from now on, I'll be your left arm and right hand."
Yu Xing'er's eyes were red.
Clearly, she didn't believe Qin Feng could heal.
Or rather.
Anyone who saw it would say Qin Feng's arm was completely useless.
But Qin Feng didn't mind.
If it were the past.
Damage at this level in his arm would have been beyond healing, even for the Luo Shui Divine Doctor.
The move "Ruffian" wasn't something he would use recklessly.
But now he had learned a skill called "Creation and Regeneration" using Wood Immortal Power.
It's just that his energy was currently weak.
Resting for a bit might allow him to forcibly restore his arm with "Creation and Regeneration."
Of course.
The recovery would take time, but at least he could save the arm.
So he wasn't worried at all.
"Really, it's okay, you don't have to do this."
Qin Feng comforted Yu Xing'er once more.
He had a soft heart.
He couldn't bear to see a woman cry.
"If you don't believe me, I'll treat it right now for you to see."
He said again.
At this moment.
A knock sounded outside the door.
Baili Qiurong arrived, holding a delicate wooden box.
