Chapter 174: Wei Family Gift, Return of the Dao Seal

Accompanied by Wei Xingfeng and other higher-ups of the Wei family, Xu Ning enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.

In addition to the plates of demon beast meat, there were also some rare spirit fruits and spirit herbs. Ordinary void realm martial artists would benefit after eating them.

Of course, for Xu Ning, he ate this meal just for the taste of it.

After the banquet, Wei Xingfeng personally led Xu Ning to his study.

“Little Friend Xu Ning.”

After closing the door, Wei Xingfeng made some arrangements. After making sure that their conversation would not be overheard, he spoke.

“To show my gratitude, I decided to give you something, I hope you can accept it.”

Wei Xingfeng fumbled around the bookcase, then the bookcase slowly opened like a door, revealing a secret room.

The secret room was not big. There was only one stone platform in the room, and on the stone platform was a damaged long knife.

The surface of the long knife had many dents and there were several obvious cracks.

But looking at the edge of the blade, it still gave off a cold murderous intent.

“This is a damaged dao weapon with all attributes.”

Wei Xingfeng carefully picked up the damaged long knife with both hands and handed it to Xu Ning. “Although its power is damaged, it is still beneficial for a void realm martial artist to have it. Although you can’t kill a higher realm enemy with it, you can be invincible in the same realm.”

“Damaged dao weapon with all attributes?”

Xu Ning took the damaged long knife and gently wiped the blade with his finger.

‘Family Head Wei is quite generous.’

Xu Ning thought to himself.

He already had five dao weapons in his hands, so Xu Ning was not interested in this dao weapon.

This damaged long knife was useless even in Xu Ning’s hands. He had no need for it.

However, this did not negate the value of the damaged long knife and Wei Xingfeng’s generosity.

Although a damaged dao weapon with all attributes was not attractive to him, other void realm martial artists, and even those in the void realm ninth stage true domain realm, would be tempted.

For the Wei family, this damaged long knife was extremely valuable.

‘Xu Ning is still calm and composed after hearing the words ‘dao weapon’, how impressive.’

Wei Xingfeng sighed.

After taking out the damaged long knife, Wei Xingfeng had been observing Xu Ning’s expression.

‘There are only two possibilities for him to have this kind of composure. Either he has an extremely strong mental state and is extremely confident in his own strength, or he has seen a real dao weapon before, or even has a real dao weapon…’

The more Wei Xingfeng thought about it, the more he felt that Xu Ning was unfathomable.

In fact, although Xu Ning had saved Wei Changqing and the other two, the damaged dao weapon was still too precious to be given to him.

Wei Xingfeng did this not only to thank Xu Ning, but also to maintain a good relationship with Xu Ning.

The current Wei family was under the control of the Source Sect in Yunying City, making it inconvenient to do things. There were many restrictions, and there were few talented descendants in the family.

As such, Wei Xingfeng was a little worried about the Wei family’s future.

Under such circumstances, if he established a stable friendship with Xu Ning, then the situation would be very different.

With Xu Ning’s martial arts aptitude, it was almost certain that he would advance to the void realm ninth stage true domain realm. Once this happened, the future development of the Wei family would be much smoother.

“Thank you, Family Head Wei.”

Xu Ning looked at the damaged long knife several times before returning it to Wei Xingfeng.

Accepting a useless weapon in return for owing a favor was not worth it.

“This…”

Although Wei Xingfeng discovered that Xu Ning was not interested in this damaged dao weapon, he was still quite surprised to see Xu Ning returning the gift.

“As I said before, there is true friendship between me, Uncle Wei, Binglin, and Zicheng. There is no need for gifts.”

Xu Ning declined.

Wei Xingfeng saw that Xu Ning was really not tempted, so he thought for a moment. He then placed the damaged long knife back on the stone platform before taking out a ring from his sleeve.

The ring was made of a milky white crystal which had a simple design, but it looked luxurious.

“Since Little Friend Xu Ning doesn’t want a dao weapon, I will give this to you.”

Wei Xingfeng placed the plain ring on Xu Ning’s hand. “Don’t refuse this time.”

“Huh?”

The moment Xu Ning touched the plain ring, he felt a sense of familiarity.

There was a stream of energy flowing inside the ring, and that energy seemed to be related to the power of the void.

“This is a storage ring.”

Wei Xingfeng seemed to be afraid that Xu Ning wouldn’t understand, so he explained, “The so-called storage ring is a ring that can store items independently. In this ring, there is an independent space. Except for living things, you can place anything you can put inside.”

“This storage ring was refined by my dao realm ancestor. The raw material is a special kind of void crystal, which is very rare. With this storage ring, it will be much more convenient to travel around.”

Xu Ning finally looked surprised.

This storage ring had the same function as his rib storage space.

Prior to this, Xu Ning had been thinking that the space in the rib storage space was getting more and more cramped. He didn’t expect Wei Xingfeng to give him a storage ring.

Xu Ning poured a wisp of true qi into the storage ring.

‘It’s also about ten cubic meters.’

Xu Ning looked at it and thought. ‘This storage ring is also a rare object, and its value is much higher than the damaged dao weapon.’

Xu Ning thought about it, then said, “Family Head Wei, I really need this storage ring. I will accept your gift.”

“Just accept it.”

After seeing Xu Ning accept the storage ring, Wei Xingfeng felt relieved before letting out a smile.

This also showed that Xu Ning had accepted his kindness.

“Family Head Wei.”

After Xu Ning accepted the storage ring, he said, “Since you have given me a treasure, I too have something to return to you.”

Wei Xingfeng raised his eyebrows. He seemed puzzled.

“Something to return to me?”

“That’s right.”

Xu Ning brought out the dao seal stone tablet that he had snatched from Bao Qiuhua’s hand from his rib storage space.

“This is?”

When he saw Xu Ning take out the stone tablet, Wei Xingfeng was shocked.

He was shocked not because he recognized the dao seal stone tablet, but because of the way Xu Ning brought it out.

There was nothing in the storage ring he gave Xu Ning just now. And since Xu Ning brought out a stone tablet in this way, it meant that Xu Ning had a storage equipment in his hand.

‘This Xu Ning is really unfathomable…’

Wei Xingfeng sighed.

Xu Ning took out the dao seal stone tablet this way meant he no longer wanted to conceal his storage equipment.

Wei Xingfeng had already given him a storage ring, so there was no need to hide his methods.

“What is this?”

Wei Xingfeng walked to the stone tablet and looked at it carefully. However, he did not recognize it.

Because the dao seal stone tablet had not been completely unsealed, Wei Xingfeng could not sense the wind attribute dao seal.

But when he approached the dao seal stone tablet, Wei Xingfeng felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

“This is the dao seal stone tablet left behind by the Wei Clan’s dao realm ancestors.”

Xu Ning said to Wei Xingfeng.

“What!?”

After Wei Xingfeng heard Xu Ning’s words, his expression changed instantly.

“The dao seal stone tablet of the Wei family ancestor was lost when we moved from other states to State Feiyun.”

Wei Xingfeng seemed to be in disbelief.

“Yes, it was indeed lost at that time.”

Xu Ning said, “After a while, it finally got into the hands of one of the martial arts families in State Jifeng.”

“After the martial arts family obtained the dao seal stone tablet, they speculated that its unsealing method required the blood of the Wei Clan, so they abducted Uncle Wei and the others.”

Xu Ning said, “After I rescued Uncle Wei and the others, I grabbed the stone tablet as well. Now, it’s time to return it to the Wei family.”

Wei Xingfeng didn’t know what Xu Ning was talking about.

Wei Changqing and the others did not transcribe this information on the letter they had sent back.

Although Wei Changqing knew that they were abducted because of the dao seal, he didn’t know what a dao seal was, nor did he know that the stone tablet Xu Ning seized was the dao seal itself.

“This… this…”

Wei Xingfeng’s heart was beating fast.

Even though he was in the common seal realm, he still felt that his breathing was getting out of control.

This dao seal stone tablet was too significant for the current Wei family.

There were two common seal realm martial artists in the Wei family.

One was Wei Xingfeng himself, who had just entered the common seal realm, and the other was the Grand Elder of the Wei family, who was already at the peak of the common seal realm.

If these two common seal realm martial artists were placed elsewhere, they would definitely be overlords.

But the Wei family was situated in Yunying City.

In Yunying City, the Source Sect was the true master. In addition to the Source Sect, there were many big families.

The strength of the Wei family was not enough.

Whether it was Wei Xingfeng or the Grand Elder, they were stuck in their current realm and couldn’t advance any further.

They all knew that without external help, they might never improve in their lives.

Wei Xingfeng and the Grand Elder had also tried to borrow someone else’s dao seal, but they were rejected.

A dao seal was precious even to the Source Sect. It could not be borrowed by others.

However, in Wei Xingfeng’s opinion, the nearly impossible to borrow dao seal was delivered to his hands by Xu Ning.

“Xu Ning…”

Wei Xingfeng tried his best to calm down. “This is too precious…”

Wei Xingfeng knew that although this dao seal stone tablet belonged to his ancestors, it had fallen into Xu Ning’s hands. Strictly speaking, it belonged to Xu Ning now.

“This originally belongs to the Wei family. There’s no such thing as too precious, you should accept it.”

Xu Ning smiled and said to Wei Xingfeng.

Although a dao seal was precious, it was useless to Xu Ning.

Moreover, this dao seal stone tablet had not been completely unsealed.

Xu Ning couldn’t bring himself to use the blood of the Wei family to unseal the dao seal stone tablet.

Thus, he might as well take advantage of the gift and return another gift back to him.
