Chapter 366

366 Heavenly Secrets

Chu Yan dived into the water and stood behind Lu Benwei.

Lu Benwei looked ahead and saw that the body of the water mirror monster flower had been broken into pieces.

Chu Yan pointed at the debris in the middle and looked over.

It was a stone tablet.

Chu Yan released her divine sense and there were hundreds of thousands of different types of medicine recorded on it. At the same time, it also recorded the deeds of the ancestors of Zhang Minghua’s family.

Lu Benwei and Chu Yan looked at each other and then tacitly took the record stone tablet off the water.

Fan Peng and Zhang Minghua were still arguing.

“You’re trash. You didn’t even have to move your hands and you’re dead!”

“Your head was blown open by Lu Benwei.”

Lu Benwei silently held his forehead.

“Zhang Minghua, stop arguing,” Chu Yan said, “Hurry and see if this is your family’s heirloom.”

When Zhang Minghua heard this, he was instantly amused.

“You found it?”

Zhang Minghua studied the greenish-gray stone tablet for a long time. He closed his eyes and rubbed them with his hands for a long time before he slowly opened them.

“How is it? Is it your family’s stone tablet?” Lu Benwei asked.

Zhang Minghua muttered to himself for a while and said, “I don’t know. I can’t feel it.”

Lu Benwei, Chu Yan, and Fan Peng were speechless.

“Then what are you doing there?” Fan Peng was speechless.

“Don’t talk and pretend to be an expert!” Zhang Minghua responded in a low voice.

Lu Benwei’s mouth twitched.

“It should be your family heirloom. It records the deeds of your family’s ancestors!”

Zhang Minghua’s eyes lit up and he asked anxiously, “Really? What great things did my ancestors do?”

After a pause, Zhang Minghua scratched his head and said in embarrassment, “My level is too low, I can’t tell.”

Lu Benwei helplessly released his divine sense and carefully read the information on it again.

“There’s too much information. I might need some time,” Lu Benwei said lightly.

Everyone was in no hurry and silently waited for Lu Benwei to read it. As time passed, Lu Benwei closed his eyes, but his brows kept furrowing.

At this time, everyone realized that the Zhang family’s ancestor was extraordinary, and he could even surprise Lu Benwei.

“What did your ancestors do? Why are they so mysterious?” Fan Peng said faintly.

Zhang Minghua smiled proudly. “More than ten generations ago, my grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather was the best alchemist in the Dragon Kingdom! My father said that my grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather… Even the current principal of the Dragon Kingdom’s Technology Hunter University is the best alchemist in the Dragon Kingdom. Even my grandfather’s grandfather…”

Before he could finish, Chu Yan stopped Zhang Minghua. “Shut up, don’t disturb annoying fellow.”

“Okay,” Zhang Minghua replied, then silently shut his mouth.

After a long time, Lu Benwei opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

“Zhang family’s ancestors above, this junior has offended you, please forgive me!”

Hearing Lu Benwei’s words, Chu Yan and Fan Peng both realized the Zhang family’s ancestor was extraordinary.

“What’s going on? Is Zhang Minghua’s grandfather very powerful?” Fan Peng asked.

“Yes!” Lu Benwei muttered.

“The Zhang family’s ancestor was a powerful alchemist. More than a hundred years ago, the era of everyone changing their class began. It was both a crisis and an opportunity. Countless families and classes rose.

“At first, alchemist was a very unremarkable class, and was once classified as a lifestyle-class class. It’s the appearance of the Zhang family’s ancestors that changed this phenomenon! People discovered that with the appropriate medicinal ingredients and a reasonable ratio, their strength could be greatly improved! That’s how alchemists rose to power!

“In this regard, the contributions of the Zhang family’s ancestors cannot be denied. They continued to develop various potions with various effects and made continuous contributions to the cause of fighting against monsters. Until now, the first batch of alchemists still regards one of the Zhang family’s ancestors as the ancestor!”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Zhang Minghua.

“Sigh, how did such a powerful family end up like this when it came to Zhang Minghua?” Fan Peng said faintly.

“But, even if that’s the case, you don’t have to have such a reaction, right?” Chu Yan was a little confused.

“Yes, guess why the Zhang family declined in the alchemy world?” Lu Benwei nodded and said.

“Is there a need to guess? It’s precisely because of a prodigal like Zhang Minghua!”

“You’re the prodigal, your whole family is prodigal!”

Fan Peng and Zhang Minghua started to bicker again!

“It’s because of the curse!” Lu Benwei said.

“A curse?!”

“Yes, from the first-generation of the Zhang family to the ancestors of the Zhang family a hundred years ago, all the family heads who have received the true inheritance will bleed from their seven apertures and explode into a pool of mud on the day they turn 60!”

When Zhang Minghua heard this, he shuddered violently!

“F*ck, Lu Benwei, I’m still young. Don’t scare me.”

Lu Benwei shook his head and lightly said, “It’s fine. In your great-grandfather’s generation, he also realized that the source of the curse was this stone tablet. In other words, your great-grandfather might not have lost this stone tablet by accident, but he threw it away of his own accord.”

Zhang Minghua’s face turned green when he heard that. He threw the record stone tablet on the boat’s hull.

“No, I don’t want this thing!”

As he spoke, Zhang Minghua wiped his hands, afraid that they would be stained by something dirty.

“What’s that curse?” Fan Peng asked again, “It has affected so many generations.”

“It’s heavenly secret!” Lu bBenwei responded in a deep voice.

Heavenly secret?! Everyone’s eyes widened.

“Right!” Lu Benwei continued, “The Zhang family’s first-generation ancestor encountered a bottleneck in his alchemy in his later years, so he wanted to steal a wisp of heavenly secret.

“As the saying goes, heaven’s secrets cannot be revealed. When the first-generation ancestor of the Zhang family found that wisp of heavenly secrets at the age of 60, he was punished by the heavens. Knowing that he did not have much time left, he recorded the heavenly secrets. But this wisp of heavenly secrets is really too tempting. The ancestors of the Zhang family have always wanted to steal it! After that, he was cursed by the heavens.”

“What?” Zhang Minghua’s face turned green as he asked, “Then, on this stone tablet, is that damn heavenly secret written?”

Lu Benwei shook his head. “It was erased by your great-grandfather. Without any clues, I don’t know what it is. But the prescription on the stone tablet is still quite useful. Zhang Minghua, you can take it back first.”

Zhang Minghua helplessly kept the stone tablet carefully.

After that, the group embarked on their return journey.

As for what the Zhang family’s ancestor wanted to steal, Lu Benwei did not want to know.
