Chapter 290: Return to the Rose Family
Kunpeng spreads its wings and leaps thousands of miles. Although August is not yet an adult and is still in its juvenile years, its natural ability to pass on bloodlines far exceeds that of other birds.
Soon, August, who had been flying all the way, came to an altitude of 20,000 meters above Great Britain.
"It's coming, it's coming! The Holy Lord is coming! "In the manor in the Ross family's holy land, the Holy Maiden Ephelia, the patriarch Ethan, and the eight great guardian elders were already waiting outside the main hall, looking up at the starry sky with their eyes, looking forward to the arrival of the Holy Lord.
Seeing a black dot in the sky gradually grow larger, descending rapidly towards the Holy Land, and the speed was also slowly decreasing, the patriarch Ethan finally couldn't hold it back and shouted loudly.
"The Holy Lord has finally arrived! It's fast! For dozens of days and nights, Ephelia was full of anticipation, hoping that she would see the Holy Lord again. Today, her dream is about to come true, and Ephelia is also very excited.
August quickly stabilized his body at the moment of rushing to the ground, and landed firmly on the ground outside the main hall.
The people waiting outside the main hall only felt a small breeze passing by, and then they saw Ma Fan riding on a big golden bird.
"I've seen the Holy Lord!" Everyone knelt down in unison and greeted Ma Fan in Dahua.
Ma Fan slowly came down from August and patted August on the neck: "Go play by yourself!" ”
Ephelia excitedly took two steps forward, bowed her head and kissed Marfan's left foot. This is the highest liturgy for the Holy Maiden of the House of Ross to meet the Holy Lord.
Ma Fan let Ephelia kiss the instep of his left foot, then looked down at the people kneeling in front of him, and nodded, "Get up!" ”
After Ephelia and Ethan got up, the Eight Elders got up from the ground.
"Holy Lord, that's the food prepared for the Holy Bird........ Patriarch hurriedly said when he saw August walking to the side. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw August walking in the direction of his finger. The clearing over there was made up of seven or eight tables made into a huge table full of food, which seemed to have been specially prepared for August.
"Holy Lord, Ephelia has finally seen you again!" Ephelia looked at the longing person in front of her, stepped forward, and leaned tightly into Ma Fan's arms.
Ma Fan put his arm around Ephelia's body, lowered his head and said with a smile, "Didn't I come to see you?" After speaking, Ma Fan bowed his head and swallowed Epheria's delicate red lips without any scruples, not caring at all that there were also the patriarch Ethan and the eight elders present.
However, it was not surprising that Ethan and the Eight Great Elders actually kissed Ma Fan and Ephelia, after all, Westerners are much more open-minded. And in their minds, the more Ma Fan doted on the saint, the better it would be for the Ross family.
In addition to Ma Fan's trip to the spirit stone mine, he also remembered that he had found a large number of "hidden heaven talismans" in the Mixed Yuan Ring.
The "Hidden Heaven Talisman" is a formation talisman used by cultivators to isolate the prying eyes of the Heavenly Dao, which can be temporarily isolated from the prying eyes of the Heavenly Dao. When many cultivators in the Haotian Continent were approaching the tribulation, in order to continue to stabilize their cultivation, most of them used this "Hidden Heaven Talisman" to block the Heavenly Dao's prying eyes and delay the time of the tribulation. However, the effective effect of this "Hidden Heaven Talisman" on cultivators who are about to break through the Tribulation Period is only one year, but I don't know how long this "Hidden Heaven Talisman" will be effective for these people in the Ross family who have no foundation in cultivation.
Ma Fan came here to verify whether this "Hidden Heaven Talisman" is effective on the earth, and if so, how long it will work.
"Holy Lord, please move to the main hall!" Ethan said expectantly.
Marfan nodded, let go of Ephelia, and walked towards the main hall.
Ephelia followed closely behind Ma Fan, and Ethan and the Eight Elders followed closely behind Ephelia and Ma Fan.
Since Marfan last appeared in the Ross family, this Sanctuary Manor has become the exclusive domain of the Holy Maiden Ephelia. Ephelia's status in the Rose family has also skyrocketed, and she has long surpassed Ethan. And Ethan was also very respectful to Ephelia, and even handed over the decision of some family affairs to Ephelia. However, Ephelia herself was not interested in these things at all, and she had only Marfan in her heart.
"Report to the Holy Lord, this is the stone we found in Central Africa." After Ma Fan sat down, Ethan took an iron box from the table in the main hall and handed it to Ma Fan.
Ma Fan saw that the box was full of spirit stones, some large and some small, and the quality was different. He took a closer look, most of them were low-grade spirit stones, but there were actually two high-grade spirit stones!
What surprised Ma Fan even more was that Patriarch Ethan actually took out a thick iron box, and inside the box was a purple top-grade spirit stone the size of a fingernail!
After the Ethan patriarch moved the small iron box, he was already exhausted and panting.
"Holy Lord, the composition of these white stones is similar to the sample you left last time, but this purple stone is extremely strange, it seems to have a similar structure to the sample, but it is a thousand times heavier!" Ethan reported immediately.
When the purple stone was brought to him, Ethan was also taken aback. The same size of white stone is generally only 10 grams, and the denser white stone is only about 50 grams at most, and this purple stone the size of a fingernail weighs nearly 50 kilograms!
Ma Fan looked at the small purple stone, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The best spirit stone!" Even Ma Fan's heart was a little excited, and he couldn't imagine that he could still see the best spirit stones on the earth. The top-grade spirit stone is also called the spirit crystal, the density is a thousand times that of the high-grade spirit stone, and the spiritual energy contained in the spirit crystal of the same volume is tens of thousands of times that of the high-grade spirit stone, so this kind of top-grade spirit stone is also extremely scarce in the Haotian Continent.
Leaning down, Ma Fan easily picked up the purple spirit crystal with two fingers, and threw it twice in the palm of his hand.
"Huh? This........ The Lord is truly a man of God! Patriarch Ethan was impressed when he saw this. It was almost as hard as he could lift the small stone he had just moved, and looking at the ease with which the Holy Lord looked, it seemed that this fifty-kilogram thing was as light as a candy in his hand.
"The Holy Lord is mighty!" The eight elders said in unison.
"Hehe, you even know this kind of word?" Ma Fan was a little surprised.
"Holy Lord, all of my Ross family members have been learning the Dahua language and culture since childhood, and it is because of the Holy Lord ......... It is also spoken in the Dahua language........" Patriarch Ethan explained. It can be said that the Ross family is an outlier in the entire Western high society, and the people in the Ross family will be required to learn the Dahua language and history and culture from an early age, and the various walks of life involved in the Ross family will also be proficient and familiar with the Dahua language as a hard condition when selecting the head.
"Where do these stones come from in Africa?"
"Come back to the Holy Lord, this was found in a gold mine in Cameroon. This gold mine is owned by my Ross family, and since the last time the Lord left a sample of the stone, we first searched in the family's own mines, but only this Cameroonian gold mine has found this stone. Ethan was extremely curious, wondering what this white stone was. Neither jade, nor metal, nor diamond, has never been used commercially on Earth before. However, although he was curious, Ethan didn't dare to ask Ma Fan.
"You must be curious about what this stone is, right?" Ma Fan saw the doubts and curiosity in the hearts of these people.
"Back to the Holy Lord, we ........ Don't dare ........."
Ma Fan smiled slightly, didn't say much, but picked up a spirit stone, pinched it hard, and then slowly released the aura in it with a special method.
Soon, a large amount of spiritual energy filled the entire hall for a hundred years.
"It's ........ It's so comfortable! Everyone instantly felt refreshed, and their bodies fluttered.
"Dare to ask the Holy Lord, what is this stone?" Ethan finally couldn't help it and asked.
"This is the spirit stone, what you felt just now is the aura contained in it. Ephelia, you take this spirit stone and try to absorb the aura in it according to the 'Xuantian Jade Maiden Technique' I taught you!" Ma Fan handed the spirit stone in his hand to Ephelia.
Curiously, Ephelia took the spirit stone and began to run the "Xuantian Jade Girl Technique".
Ethan and the Eight Great Elders looked at Ephelia curiously, and then at Ma Fan.
Marfan ignored a few people, just carefully observed Ephelia.
Under the investigation of his divine sense, Ma Fan found that Ephelia had faint signs of breaking through to the Qi Refining Stage. After the last time she merged with Ephelia, Ephelia jumped directly from no cultivation foundation to the late stage of quenching, it seems that Ephelia has been cultivating diligently during this time, and has broken through to the peak of quenching, and will soon be able to break through to the qi refining period.
Soon, Ephelia had absorbed the aura from the spirit stone. Ethan and the others looked at Epheria's outstretched palm in surprise, and the white spirit stone in the palm had turned into gray powder.
Ephelia lowered her head and looked at the spirit stone that had turned into powder in her hand, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"The aura in this spirit stone has been absorbed by you, and this powder is just a residue, useless." When Ephelia heard this, she immediately spread out her palm and threw down the powder. However, Ethan, who came to his senses, immediately collected the powder on the floor with something and prepared it for laboratory analysis. This is the habit of the Ross family, and the Ross family has always maintained a scientific and prudent attitude towards the unknown.
Ma Fan looked at Ephelia with a face full of surprise, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart. is also her own woman, but Ephelia did not get any cultivation resources provided by Ma Fan. If Ma Fan had provided Ephelia with a large number of spirit stones during the previous period, it was estimated that Ephelia had already advanced to the Qi refining stage at this time.
"Holy Lord, this spirit stone is really amazing, just now I absorbed the aura of this spirit stone, and found that it is almost worth my cultivation progress in a month!" Ephelia said in surprise.
"Well, you're at the peak of your quenching body now, and you can break through at any time. I'll accompany you to the qualification, don't worry. Marfan decided to spend more time with Ephelia this time.
"Great! Holy Lord, Ephelia always provides you with the most attentive service! ”
When Ma Fan heard this, he suddenly remembered the details of the last time he was intimate with Ephelia, and couldn't help but feel that his lower abdomen was slightly swollen, and he faintly felt and looked forward to it. This Ephelia is a naked seduction!
"Holy Lord, why don't we wait for the first ........." Ethan knew that he couldn't stay any longer at this time.
"Wait, I still have something to tell you........" Ma Fan said on his own initiative.
"Holy Lord, please speak!" Ethan was overjoyed and couldn't help but look forward to it.
"How is your Ross family doing during this time?"
"Almost every three months, a member of the Ross family dies........ But it's all because of the age of sixty........." Hearing Ma Fan ask about this, Ethan couldn't help but look lonely, and said with some emotion. But after saying that, his face couldn't help but rise with some anticipation. The last time Ma Fan came here, he said that he would find a way to lift the curse of the Rose family as soon as possible, and Ethan didn't dare to ask Ma Fan during this time.
"Really? Did anyone die some time ago? ”
"Back to the Holy Lord, not long before you last came to the Ross family, the elder brother of the Third Elder passed away....... According to the genealogy of my Ross family, tomorrow is the sixtieth birthday of the elder brother of the fifth elder, and he has already ........ in the past two days Can't get up anymore and is now in the intensive care unit........"
"Holy Lord, please find a way to save my brother Grad!" At this moment, the five elders suddenly came from the side, bowed their heads to Ma Fan and knelt down.
"Ask the Holy Lord to help!" The rest of the elders also knelt down towards Ma Fan in unison.
"You ........ Isn't this a problem for the Holy Lord? Hurry up and ........" Ethan was shocked, for fear that Ma Fan would be angry. For hundreds of years, no one in the Ross family has survived past the age of sixty. The people of the Rose family themselves are very aware of all this, although so, as the most prestigious nobles in Europe, the people of the Rose family pay great attention to health and strive to be able to live as much as possible before the age of sixty, so most of the members died of sudden failure of various organs in the body when they were close to their sixtieth birthday, and only a few members of the Rose family will die before the age of sixty due to other accidents.
"It's okay, don't worry, I already have a preliminary way to deal with your curse, although I can't completely lift the curse of the Rose family for the time being, but it should be able to delay your life. As for lifting the curse completely, I'll do my best. This time, I also came here to verify whether this method works. ”
"Great! Thank you, Holy Lord! "Everyone was delighted, including Ephelia. Ma Fan said this clearly, but he had already found a way, and he might be able to temporarily remove the death threat from the Rose family.
"You get up first and take me to see Grad." Ma Fan also wanted to try whether the "Hidden Heaven Talisman" was effective first. If the "Hidden Heaven Talisman" is invalid, he can only use the Heavenly Extension Technique to cut off the connection between Grad and the Heavenly Dao, but the cost of doing so is too great, and Ma Fan still doesn't want to take this step unless it is absolutely necessary.
