Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 88: Hidden Resources of Tan Family

While Qin pondered that in his heart, the heat of the competition resumed. Unfortunately, he didn't get a chance to fight again today. In the evening, everyone returned back to their room.

Qin also walked back but this time, he wasn't alone. He was accompanied by Guan Xing and Guo Min. Both of them weren't his true friends but they had the potential to be one. On the way, Qin met Tan Ge and Tan Shui, so he had to part ways with Guan Xing and Guo Min.

Tan Ge and Tan Shui brought Qin out of the sect. They took him to one of the restaurants of Sky Treasure House. Qin went to the same room that he had previously booked. Fortunately, that room was empty so they didn't have to wait.

"I thought you would take some time before talking to me," Qin ordered the food and turned his head at Tan Ge and Tan Shui.

"Sound Talisman exists to make things faster." Tan Ge smiled and answered.

"So, can you answer my questions?" Qin smiled back and asked.

Tan Ge fell in silence for a moment and nodded his head. He took out the map of the Saitou Region and placed it on the table.

"Our Tan Family has a great legacy as you already know. There were many resources that we used to have but now it's all gone. But, there are still something that we do possesses."

Saying so, Tan Ge pointed at the northern part of the Saitou Forest and said.

"This area is one of the unexplored areas of the Saitou Region and our previous Family Head had built two major arrays in this area. These were created to hide the existence of what we call doors. Two doors lead us to two different towers."

"One tower is the Tower of Lightning God while another is the tower of Darkness God. There are several floors inside that tower. And, once we cross those floors, we will get immense resources and comprehension of Lightning and Darkness."

"Of course, crossing these towers isn't an easy task. Six years ago, Tan Family sent thirty-six youths of our age into the respective Tower. We were tasked to climb the tower for five years. These towers were a little different."

"It doesn't matter what your cultivation might be. Even if you are a normal human, you can still cross the tower. But, you need to be extremely skilled at certain things. Thirty-six youths including me were in the Lightning Tower while another group of thirty-six youths including her was in the Darkness Tower."

"Five years later, we returned but the number had decreased to five on my side and four on her side. But, thanks to that, we were a lot stronger. Although we still can't compare ourselves to you, we are powerful enough to be considered a genius."

"But, this isn't something that would interest you. The most interesting part of this is us. Seventy-Two youths that Tan Family sent were the most common youths in the family. You already know how big Tan family is, right?"

"Before we entered the Tower, we couldn't train to be cultivators. But, after coming out of the tower, we were the genius's level youths. But, the family won't take this risk by sending geniuses inside. After all, out of seventy-two, only nine survive and it's all thanks for the sacrifice of others."

"This is why you didn't see us in the family."

After hearing his explanation, Qin remained silent for a moment. He didn't expect the Tan family to hide such a secret. Even he didn't know about this secret. But, this made him fall into deep thought for a moment.

Because he realized that he doesn't have the intelligence of the Tan family like those guards in a black robe or this. The only reason why he knew was because of the Great Elder. And, the Great Elder has been helping him for a while.

So, was he manipulated by the Great Elder?

And, he did ask Qin to meet him once his cultivation reaches Essence Transformation Realm. But, now if he wants to meet Great Elder, it won't be a problem. Since he and Tan's family have reached an agreement.

But, does the Family Head knows the Great Elder motivates? He isn't sure about this. He doesn't care if the Great Elder is manipulating him. In the next month, he is sure to have the strength enough to kill Great Elder or even the entire Tan family unless they have another hidden trick.

But, he won't do it. He is going to be a son-in-law of the Tan family. Why would he go and slaughter them?

"I don't know what status I have right now in the Tan Family but can I know whether the Tan Family has Light Attribute Cultivation Technique?" Qin asked after thinking for a while.

"No, we only have Lightning Attribute Technique and Dark Attribute Technique. The only reason we possess them is because of our family background."

Knock! Knock!

Just when he finished, the waiter knocked on the door from outside. These rooms have a special sound-blocking array and only when someone knocks on the door, they can hear outside noise. As for the inside noise, it will never escape from the room.

This is why this place was best for communication.

After a few seconds, the waiter opened the door and brought the meals in a big tray. There was a whole piece of chicken, three bowls of noodles with soup, three fish on the side and a huge bottle of wine, and three glasses.

The waiter was a cultivator himself so it wasn't hard for him to hold it. He puts the dishes on the table and retreats. After the door closes, Qin picks his chopsticks and looks at Tan Ge and Tan Shui.

"Let's continue while eating!"

Tan Ge and Tan Shui nod their heads and pick up the chopsticks. While eating, Tan Shui asks "Junior Brother Qin, aren't you afraid of Jin Hao and the sect master?"

"No, I am not. Give me a year and I will surpass him. Until then, I still have support from Elder Chen. But, the Tan family needs to be cautious. They know part of my relationship with the Tan family. If they learn more, it will be bad for Tan Family." Qin rolls the noodles on his chopsticks while speaking.

"Don't worry, our relationship has been kept secret. As for your history, we haven't revealed it to anyone. After this competition, we can ask Tan Family, to send you to one of those towers. Although it costs a lot of resources, if you can confirm that you can survive then they will definitely send you in."

"And, they might send us as well. After all, we have the experience inside the tower. It is quite weird though. When we entered the tower, the first thing that appeared in front of us was a blue rectangular box that we couldn't touch."

"Although we did understand the word, it was quite new for us. And, we won't get the rewards until we cross the third floor. But, after the third floor, there is a restriction of cultivation. It said we must Emperor Realm."

"Originally, we thought it was simply bluffing but when we get the rewards, we found it wasn't lying to us. The first reward we earned was comprehension of our element. My lightning comprehension improved so much that I even comprehended fifty percent of Divine Lightning Scripture."

"Her darkness comprehension improved to the point where she could even control the shadow of someone else. And, we learn something else as well. If we could've crossed the floors in a short period of time, like in a month, then we would've got more rewards."

"There are even people who crossed each floor in a day. Of course, we were simply ordinary people. So, we had to kill monsters, walk thousands of miles and survive natural disasters."

Qin thought for a moment after hearing his words and said "From what you said, this place has a huge amount of resources and several other people also enter these towers to earn these resources. And, as long as you cross the floor, you will earn rewards."

"Hmm! I also need to comprehend the Divine Lightning Scripture. Yes, let's talk with the Father-in-law after this competition and get his permission. I was thinking for ways to improve my strength. This is a good opportunity."

Hearing him call the head Father-in-law brought shock to their faces. But, soon they calmed down. The person sitting in front of them was the son-in-law and the unique one. Because he wasn't just marrying one daughter rather three daughters of the Tan Family.

And, each one of them was the genius of the Tan family. Of course, they also understand why the family would make such a decision. Qin has the Tan bloodline. And, he has the talent to inherit such bloodline. If he has a child with one of them in the future, the Tan family will have an heir with the Tan Bloodline.

Because, no matter how much goodwill they show to Qin, he is still an outsider with their bloodline.
