Earthly Treasure

Qi Meng had heard everything about the clan's matter from his parents and is not too worried about it. Talking about treasures, not to mention earthly treasures, he had a lot of them as well as tons of immortal and heavenly treasures.

Before entering his rebirth, he made sure that all of his treasures were all sealed inside his dao palaces. It was a gamble as he was not sure whether it would work or not.

Alas, the heavens still favored him in the end and discovered that all his treasures are still kept safely in all his dao palaces except for the new 10th palace. He have no way to access this palace by now and could not store any item in it.

"Activate!"

Later that night, Qi Meng decided to help out the sect as he did not want this trivial issue to affect his future plans. He waved his hands and with a thought his fifth palace flew out from his dantian and hovered over his head.

"Let us see which one is at the top tier." He casually peak one of the top tier earthly treasures and then a set of crimson bow and arrows flew out of the palace.

"Crimson Bow and Arrow, hmm, not so famous but is at the top among its contenders. This shall be it." He waved his hands pointing at the sky and a short moment later..

Boom!

At the garden of their courtyard, suddenly, a loud bang was heard.

The husband and wife where startled by the noise. Qi Yu went out to see what happened while Qi Zi immediately grabbed the innocently slumbering baby. Qi Yu was shocked at what he saw, then a short while later Qi Zi also went out and was her mouth became agape as well.

They could not believe the scene and what they discovered. At the center of the garden was a crater around 5 meters in diameter. And at the center of the crater was a set of a crimson bow and arrows embedded within.

"Earth..Earthly Treasure, it is an earthly treasure!" Qi Yu stuttered as he yelled and then looked at his wife who still has her mouth wide opened.

Qi Yu then walked closer to the crater and grabbed the bow and arrows. "It is really an earthly treasure. But where did it come from?"

Qi Yu flew and looked around then came back with a stern look on his face. "Anyway, I need to go to the palace and have a meeting with the elders regarding this item."

Everyone is sitted down at the palace hall as the sect master narrated what transpired earlier.

"So meaning to say, you are telling us that this earthly treasure is the heavens answering our prayers?" The prime elder asked unconvincingly. No one would believe this, even the sect master himself still cannot believe it.

"Well, we can take it that way. This is the heavens blessing us and having heard our prayers." The sect master replied.

"We will immediately send a word to the ancestors regarding this matter and get their consents about the Chu Clan's matter." The Prime Elder stated with the rest of the elders nodding in agreement.

The next day, the sect master sent a letter to the Chu clan for their response to the clan's aid request.

Within the same day, both Chu Hao and Chu Tian came to the Qi Clan's palace again to visit.

Everybody are sitting at the hall with all smiles on their faces. Chu Hao and Chu Tian had their smiles almost reaching their ears.

"Sect Master Qi and Qi Clan's Elders, we sincerely thank you and we will surely repay this gratitude in the future." Both the Chu sect master and elder bowed with sincerity.

"No worries, we have responded to your request not only because our clans are friends since time immemorial but also to honor both of our progenitor's blood pact back then." Sect Master Qi Yu replied with a smile on his face.

While speaking, the sect master waved his hand and one of the disciples entered the hall with a long simple treasure box carried on both arms and placed it on top of the table.

"This is the earthly treasure we have chosen to gift to the Chu Clan. It will be part of our dowry in the future." The Qi sect master said.

Seeing the precious treasure at reach, both the Chu sect master and elder had their eyes glittering and replied with smile. "Thank you. We shall take the liberty to open and see it if you don't mind."

"Go on." Qi sect master cheerfully replied.

Upon opening the treasure box, both the Chu sect master and elder were surprised.

"This, this is a top-tier earthly treasure. The Qi Clan's progenitor is really great to have this top notch earthly treasure. Good stuff, nice set of crimson bow and arrows. It surely has a fire power to slay an Immortal." Sect master Chu cheerfully praised.

Amidst the praise, the Qi clan representatives had light smiles on their faces. There is no way they could ever tell to these gentlemen that this treasure was gifted by the heavens.

It should be known that earthly treasures are not just any treasures found in the mortal world. Earthly treasures are actually crafted and refined by Immortals before their ascension and left it to their sects and descendants as part of their future heritage. The said treasures shall be the symbol of their sect's lineage which will distinguish from the rest of the mortal sects.

"Sigh. In the end, it shall fall into the hands of that party. What a waste of treasure." Elder Chu Tian stated and sighed.

The elder cannot be blamed for feeling aggrieved as this earthly treasure is very precipus to them. It can be said that this precious treasure can be their only earthly treasure due to the clan's unstoppable decline.

"Well, we can't do a thing about if for now. Anyways, next year, my daughter is turning 3 years of age. Our clan is planning to hold a banquet for Yue'er.

Aside from her birthday, we are expecting for her first dao palace to descend. The invitation shall be sent out by end of this year.

But of course, the invitation will just mention about the princess's birthday celebration. We are not too conceited enough to assume that our Yue'er's talent is of a heaven's child. Still, we are hoping for the best for our princess. We believe that every sect is the same in this aspect." The Chu Clan sect master cheered.

"We hope that all of our friends here can attend to our clan's auspicious day celebration." The Chu Clan sect master followed-up.

"Of course, of course, we shall pray for the Chu clan's princess early blessing from the heavens." Prime Elder Qi replied. The rest nodded smilingly.

The Qi Sect master cheerfully followed-up and said, "We are hoping for the best. The Chu Clan's princess is also our future daughter-in-law. Let us pray and hope for the heaven's blessing to the princess next year. We will surely be there."

The Chu Clan sect master and elder tandem bid their farewell to the Qi Clan and hurriedly went back to their clan to bring back the good news.

The day passed quickly and the night came.

Tsup..tsup..tsup..tsup...tsup...

Qi Meng is currently feeding on her mother's breast obediently.

A while later, when the couple were past asleep, he resumed on his cultivation and continued until dawn. He felt invigorated afterwards and then went to sleep.

It is almost a month since the day he broke through to the Dao Child realm. He felt that his next break through is almost coming. Well, there was no surprise there as he expected it as planned.

One has to know that it takes an average mortal to cultivate to the Dao Apprentice realm for a period of 2 years.

A genius is able to cultivate to the same realm for 1 year while a heaven's son or heaven's daughters takes about 6 months.

As for Qi Meng, he only took 1 month to break through to the said realm and can be categorized as a peerless genius or an Era genius. There is no record of such feat before him even going back thru the eras or even eons.
