The box opened.
Inside, there was nothing but a piece of paper and a fist-sized jade stone.
The moment Liu Ergou saw the jade stone, his pupils instantly contracted.
Because he clearly felt the spiritual power contained in this jade stone was the most intense he had ever seen, bar none.
Moreover, the quality of this jade stone was excellent, pure white and flawless, and particularly delicate.
However, there was one regrettable point.
When it came to knowledge about jade stones, Liu Ergou was clueless; he knew almost nothing.
The only thing he could discern was that this was a jade stone containing immense spiritual power.
As long as he used this jade stone, breaking through to the Innate level would be effortless.
But Liu Ergou's gaze was quickly drawn to the letter.
The next second, Liu Ergou carefully read the letter.
After Liu Ergou finished reading the letter, he felt as if his whole worldview had been overturned.
No, it should be said that the world in his eyes had been overturned.
Why say this? Because the letter recorded all the truths.
Initially, Ning Hua came just to cause trouble for Liu Ergou, until Ning Hua sensed the True Qi inside Liu Ergou and saw Liu Ergou using the True Qi outside the body, and told Swallow Li about it.
Then Swallow Li came over to have a personal look.
He discovered that the True Qi within Liu Ergou was called Xuanyuan True Qi.
This Qi belonged to the Xuanyuan Family, the sixth hidden family besides the five big families in Jingdu.
Before this, a great upheaval occurred in the Xuanyuan Family.
This upheaval was something Swallow Li had mentioned to Liu Ergou before.
So... Liu Ergou is the orphan of the main branch of the Xuanyuan Family! Also, the only main branch.
No, wait, the old Taoist in front of him is another one.
It's just that the old Taoist was of such poor aptitude, knowing his revenge was hopeless, he simply abandoned it, opened a small Taoist Temple in Jingdu, and hid his identity.
Meanwhile, he quietly accumulated resources for the day when he could hand them all over to the main branch orphan of the Xuanyuan Family.
Swallow Li's master's master was a servant of the Xuanyuan Family. Accordingly, he himself also counted as a servant of the Xuanyuan Family, but later became Liu Ergou's master.
After reading the letter, Liu Ergou didn't know what to say for a moment, just stood there, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
He was dazed for nearly ten minutes before he muttered to himself.
"So now I shouldn't be called Liu Ergou but Xuanyuan Ergou?"
"But... Xuanyuan Ergou sounds so strange, and... it's really quite troublesome!"
Liu Ergou's muttering wasn't quiet, the old Taoist sitting on the bed heard every word clearly.
When he heard Liu Ergou saying he should be called Xuanyuan Ergou, he couldn't help but cough a few times.
This kid's thought process is so peculiar, shouldn't he be shocked about his lineage?
Why is he tangled up in whether he should be called Liu Ergou or Xuanyuan Ergou?
Really don't know what to say.
The old Taoist's coughing brought Liu Ergou back to his senses.
He quickly went to the old Taoist's side and said, "I... uh... um..."
Seeing the stammering Liu Ergou, the old Taoist shook his head.
"Don't worry about titles and such trivial matters."
"Now that you know all the truths, the great task of reviving the Xuanyuan Family's main branch has fallen on your shoulders!"
"I don't need to say more; you should know what to do now!"
"Go, the current Xuanyuan Family are just a bunch of sidelines who don't deserve their current position."
"Go and take back everything that belongs to you!"
However, Liu Ergou shook his head after hearing this.
"Regardless of whether any of this is true or false, I just want to say, with my current strength, meeting people from the Xuanyuan Family is nothing but a dead end, let alone anything else."
"Speaking of, with your powerful strength, why don't you personally go?"
Upon hearing Liu Ergou's words, the old Taoist looked deep into Liu Ergou's eyes.
Then spoke a sentence.
"Because I'm dying!"
Liu Ergou blinked and, in a moment of brain fog, asked a question.
"When?"
"Now!" The old Taoist lowered his head after speaking, closed his eyes, and life left him.
This scene completely stunned Liu Ergou.
What... what... what is this? How can someone just say they're dying and then die?
I still have so many questions, and he just died without answering them.
Oh my god, I still want to know about Swallow Li's situation, but now the old Taoist is dead.
This...
For a moment, Liu Ergou felt as if he were about to cry but had no tears, not knowing what to do.
Standing there, he was stunned for a long time.
Finally, Liu Ergou let out a helpless sigh.
When he rose to leave, he suddenly remembered the old Taoist had left behind many resources for him, as mentioned in Swallow Li's letter.
Just for him to have.
In that case, he might as well collect those resources first.
Thinking this, Liu Ergou instinctively crouched down and reached under the bed.
Liu Ergou didn't even understand why he reached under the bed.
He just followed his instincts.
After searching under the bed for a while, Liu Ergou found a wooden box.
Then with a single-arm pull, Liu Ergou dragged out the wooden box.
The wooden box in front of him was black, and there was an ancient-looking copper lock on it.
After glancing at it, Liu Ergou punched it, shattering the box.
Once the box was shattered.
The contents were immediately revealed.
Inside the box was a large number of Jade and Jadeite, all of high quality, with each piece comparable to the jade stone Swallow Li left for him.
Seeing these Jade and Jadeite, Liu Ergou's eyes almost popped out.
If he absorbed all this, wouldn't he directly break through to the Martial Golden Core?
Just as Liu Ergou was getting ready to gather the jade and leave, he suddenly remembered the five corpses lying outside.
And the old Taoist's corpse too.
If he just left like that, the police might come knocking tomorrow.
At that time, he would truly have no way to defend himself.
Because he had left his fingerprints at the scene.
Thinking of this, Liu Ergou let out a wail.
Why?
Was dealing with corpses left to me? It's really troubling.
After thinking for a moment.
Liu Ergou packed the jade, carried it back to the hotel, and then returned.
After tidying up the wooden box and the wooden box left by Swallow Li, he dialed the emergency number.
