"Mm, no rush for now. That Cave Mansion relic of an Ancient Cultivator isn't far from here, it's near the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, at the place where the Xu Clan Territory used to be."
"There are some matters I want to ask that Xu Xuan about. Go and summon him here for me."
"Yes! I'll go at once." After receiving Qin Ming's order, the Heaven-Devouring Rat streaked away and vanished without a trace.
Qin Ming rubbed the Spirit Pearl in his hand and said faintly, "So this turns out to be the legacy of some unknown Ancient Spirit Plant Master. That is indeed a bit interesting..."
"For this thing to fall into my hands through such twists of fate—could it be that it's meant to have a connection with me?"
After half a day.
The Heaven-Devouring Rat brought the Xu Clan Leader, Xu Xuan, up to the main peak.
"Junior pays respects to Elder Lii!"
Upon arriving, Xu Xuan bowed deeply to Qin Ming with extreme respect.
"No need for so much ceremony."
