Chapter 49
An "Impractical" Idea

Hu Yi Fei had long grown accustomed to being held by him, rolling her eyes as usual, “Why? The mission’s done, and the next one hasn’t been assigned yet. Is there something important?”

“It’s not about the mission. We all got the San Qing Dao teaching this time, right? I was thinking, now that Guan Gu has joined the team, after he officially joins and takes the Bone Marrow Pill, should we let him try to receive the teaching as well?” Xue Mo Yin was thinking, if every one of them here could get the inheritance, their team strength would skyrocket.

Hu Yi Fei looked at him in disbelief, “I’m telling you, you’re taking the Three Great Ancestors for granted. The odds of that happening are lower than winning the lottery! And besides, a Japanese man going to pay his respects to the San Qing… do you think the Three Great Ancestors would recognize him?”

Xue Mo Yin thought for a moment, it did seem a bit abstract, but, “They probably would, how else will we know if we don’t try?”

“Alright, even if they recognize him, where would you find a San Qing statue? Don’t forget, that San Qing statue from Jiu Shu’s place is legitimately hundreds of years old, it’s probably already imbued with spiritual energy. Don’t think you can just buy one from the street and get the same effect,” Hu Yi Fei wasn’t very optimistic about this.

Xue Mo Yin frowned, that was indeed a problem, “I’ve thought about this too, as soon as I came back I had Xiao Tian search for some Taoist temples, to see if they had any San Qing statues over a hundred years old. Regardless of whether others can get the inheritance, as disciples of the San Qing, if we don’t even have a San Qing statue at home, that’s just too strange.”

“That’s true, I hadn’t thought of that. By the way, what about the job change?”

“I changed jobs last night, after changing jobs, the inheritance of this profession and some exclusive skills and spells will be automatically transmitted to your mind. You should be able to feel the change in my strength, right?” Xue Mo Yin was very happy about this, the San Qing inheritance was indeed powerful, but the difficulty of cultivating those things was also imaginable. The job change was a way to quickly improve his combat strength.

Yi Fei nodded, she could feel that Xue Mo Yin’s strength was already above her, but strangely she didn’t feel any disappointment, she was even happy. You know, if someone else had surpassed her in strength, Hu Yi Fei would definitely be unhappy, she would be uncomfortable and would keep challenging that person until she defeated him.

Seeing Hu Yi Fei suddenly fall silent, Xue Mo Yin thought she was unhappy because his strength had surpassed hers, and he hugged her, rubbing his face against her hair, “Don’t be unhappy, it always felt like I was useless with you always charging ahead. Now my strength has increased, I can protect you in the future.”

This time Hu Yi Fei didn’t flare up, she leaned her head against Xue Mo Yin’s chest, her face flushed.

The two of them stayed silent, enjoying this rare moment of warmth.

………

In the days after they came back, besides Mei Jia and Wan Yu going out for a walk, and Zi Qiao going out once, the rest of them stayed in their rooms. After all, what they got this time was too overpowered, everyone was quietly studying the inheritance they got, wanting to improve their strength.

Zi Qiao had been crazy busy these past few days, he didn’t even have time to hit on girls. You know, he not only had the San Qing inheritance, he also had a book of Maoshan Da Shen Shu to cultivate. He didn’t even have time to go to the bar downstairs, let alone go riding? This was all thanks to Jiu Shu’s gift of the foundation of Taoist arts, otherwise Zi Qiao felt like his brain would explode.

Xue Mo Yin was also busy, after changing jobs there was a whole bunch of stuff in his head, he had to organize it well, and at the same time he had to quickly get used to his current strength and the changes brought about by the bloodline.

They were really busy these days, except for meals and going to the bathroom, they didn’t leave their rooms.

This state lasted for five days, Xue Mo Yin felt that it wouldn’t do to continue like this, and he forcibly dragged everyone downstairs to the bar. They were also taking a break.

However, they were a little unhappy about it.

Hu Yi Fei was the first to speak, “I’m telling you Xue Mo Yin, why did you drag us to the bar? Don’t you know that I’m trying to understand my own skills?”

Wan Yu nodded, “Yeah, yeah, I still have a lot of pill formulas that I don’t understand.”

To Xue Mo Yin’s surprise, Zi Qiao also spoke, “I’m telling you Mo Yin, if you’re not doing anything I’m going home, my Da Shen Shu is just about to reach the final step, I’m still studying it now.”

Xue Mo Yin was speechless, so I’m wrong to drag you all out to relax? “I’m telling you, can you guys not be so tense? Cultivating this stuff is all about work and rest, if you relax a little maybe you’ll be able to progress more smoothly, you’ve all been too tense these past few days, relax properly today.”

Everyone nodded, feeling that he had a point, they didn’t argue anymore.

“When are you guys going to let Guan Gu officially join the team? He’s in pretty good shape now, and it was agreed that we would take him on the next mission, so we have to get him the Bone Marrow Pill first.”

Hu Yi Fei thought for a moment, “Let’s wait a bit, you haven’t found what you’re looking for yet, right? Just give it to him five days before the mission, throw him to Zi Qiao to train properly, I think that will be enough.”

“Why do I have to be the one?” Zi Qiao wasn’t happy.

“Do you think there’s anyone else suitable here?” Hu Yi Fei asked.

Zi Qiao first looked at Mo Yin, no way, he’s already busy enough, everyone knows this, he turned his head and looked at Hu Yi Fei, abandoning the thought without hesitation, what’s the point, if he gives Guan Gu to her, it’s a question of whether he can survive or not.

Then there was Wan Yu, that wouldn’t do either, she’s the only medical staff in the team, she must prepare many things a few days before the mission.

As for Mei Jia, that would be even worse, her psychic power, Guan Gu won’t even be able to move a finger, how can he train? After looking around, it seemed like he was the most suitable.

“Fine, I’ll take this mission.”

Yi Fei looked at Wan Yu and Mei Jia, “Right, what did you guys spend your points on?”

Both shook their heads, “We haven’t bought anything, we’ve been studying our inheritance these past few days, we completely forgot about it.”

Then Mei Jia, without hesitation, went straight for Xue Mo Yin, “Mo Yin, I know you can see what I bought, but please don’t say it out loud, ok?”

Wan Yu also clasped her hands together, looking pleading.

“Don’t worry, I won’t say anything,” Xue Mo Yin glanced, and he saw that both of them bought the same medicine that Hu Yi Fei bought last time.

Hu Yi Fei finally understood why the guy had looked at her with a strange look after she bought things, so he could see what she bought, she glared at Xue Mo Yin unkindly.

Xue Mo Yin turned his head away, avoiding Hu Yi Fei’s gaze, it’s better to play dumb at this time.

As for what Mei Jia and Wan Yu bought, Xue Mo Yin also took a look, both were good. Mei Jia’s things were mainly focused on the soul aspect. Wan Yu bought a book called “Basic Alchemy” and an alchemy furnace. After all, she had received Lao Tzu’s alchemy scriptures, if she didn’t prepare these things, it would be a waste.

Zi Qiao didn’t buy anything this time, he was going to change jobs in the next mission, it’s better to save the points for when he changes jobs.

Hu Yi Fei’s points were mostly given to Xue Mo Yin this time, so she didn’t even have the opportunity to spend them.

The two of them desperately needed a mission, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable stuck here.

After relaxing for a whole afternoon at the bar, the next day everyone returned to their previous state, studying their things in their rooms. But the effect of relaxing was significant, everyone had some minor breakthroughs.

This state continued for a few more days, and they went to the bar downstairs to relax again.

Zeng Lao Shi couldn’t help but say, “If you guys don’t show up again, I thought you were going to become hermits.”

Zi Qiao looked at him disdainfully, “Zeng Lao Shi, you wouldn’t understand what we’ve gained, just continue with your dream of becoming a star.”

“What do you mean dream? I’m telling you, Xian Ge’s show is going to soar,” Zeng Lao Shi stroked his hair, struck a pose he thought looked handsome, waiting for their praise.
