Chapter 721

The Nanqiang Patriarch smiled and took out an identity token. He placed it in front of Guo Shier and said, "This is the identity token of a guest elder. I hope you will accept it."

Nan You sucked in a breath of cold air. He knew that there were only a dozen guest elders in the family. Giving Guo Shier such an identity was a bit frightening. The status of an ancestor-level professional in the family was completely different from that of an elder. An ancestor was someone who could enter the core circle of the family. Even a guest ancestor had a lot of power.

Generally speaking, most of the elders in the ancient families had altars with three or more levels. Very few would give the status of an elder to someone with a two-level altar. Only those who were extremely strong and could defeat a three-level altar would be given the status of an elder. Not only had Guo Shier defeated a three-level expert, but he had also defeated a four-level expert. This kind of strength was indeed worthy of the Gunan Family's guest elder status and treatment.

Since Guo Shi 'er had accepted the benefits, he could not refuse it. He smiled bitterly in his heart, reached out to grab the identity token, and asked, "Are there any rules?"

The Nanqiang Patriarch smiled. "There aren't many rules. An elder guest elder has great power. The rules … are very few. They are all recorded in the identity token. You will know once you take a look."

Guo Shier took a look. There were indeed only a few rules. For example, after joining the Gunan Family, one could not join other families and must protect the Gunan Family's interests. He thought for a moment and asked, "Patriarch, if I want to leave this place, will the family stop me?"

The Nanqiang Patriarch smiled. "No, the family will not restrict your movements or dictate what a guest elder must do. No matter what it is, it can be discussed and resolved. The family will never force a guest elder to do something he does not want to do."

Guo Shier nodded. "Then there is no problem." Only now did he realize that even a guest elder was divided into factions. Nan You was a member of the Nanqiang Patriarch's faction. That was why the Nanqiang Patriarch valued the person Nan You recommended. On the other hand, Nan Zhiren was the ancestor of another branch. It was no wonder that he would mock Guo Shi 'er.

It was an ancient family that had lasted for tens of thousands of years. It had many branches, many descendants, and many close and distant branches. An ancient family could occupy countless continents and secret realms. There were tens of thousands of branch families, but there were only a dozen guest elders in the entire Gunan Family. It was easy to imagine how rare this position was.

The Nanqiang Patriarch then said to Falconer, "If you successfully ascend to the illusory altar, Falconer, are you willing to be our clan's guest elder?"

Falconer said, "I am a follower of Shier. Even if I accept the position of guest elder, I will not accept any missions."

Nanqiang Ancestor Nan laughed. "You will be more convenient in the family."

Hawk Demon nodded, "As long as Twelve agrees, I have no problem."

Guo Shi 'er nodded and said, "Let's accept it. We'll be staying in Yamata Yamata for a while anyway." He also wanted to find the four ancient families, and it would be best if he could find the Miluo family. Guo Shier nodded. "Accept it. We will be staying in Yamata Heaven for a while anyway." He still wanted to find the four ancient families. It would be best if he could find the Miluo Clan. He estimated that Ban Xilong would only be able to ascend to the first level at most. His strength should not be as strong as him.

Falconer said, "Alright, give me the guest elder's identity token." He placed the previous guest elder's identity token in front of him. The Southern Qiang Patriarch smiled. He picked up the guest elder's identity token and exchanged it for a new one. Falconer thought, Alright, I've already prepared it. He did not say anything else and put away the identity token. It was indeed more convenient to move around here with an identity.

Luo Zhan still had the same identity token. He had never cared about such things. He knew that it wouldn't be long before Guo Shier took him and Hawk Demon away from this place. As for the Gunan Clan, it was only a temporary stop. This wasn't their home.

Nan Jiao was very obedient this time. She leaned on the Snow Wolf King's body and used her small hand to stroke the fur on its head. The Snow Wolf King whimpered in pleasure.

Nanqiang Ancestor smiled. "Alright, congratulations to the Nanqiang Patriarch …" She and the Nanqiang Patriarch belonged to two different clans. However, they had a good relationship and were considered to be in an internal alliance. Among the tens of thousands of branches of the Gunan Clan, only a few had ancestor-level experts. At most, there were only a hundred. Once the two clans formed an alliance, their strength would surpass most clans.

Nan Ming and Nan Zhichun, whom Guo Shier had met before, were also top figures in their respective clans. Some clans didn't even have an illusionary altar expert. Of course, as an ancient clan that had existed for tens of thousands of years, there were still some hidden ultimate powers in the clan headquarters. There was no lack of ancestor-level experts.

The Nanqiang Patriarch and Nanqiang Ancestor took their leave with Nan Jiao.

After sending them off, Guo Shier returned to his room and had Falconer stand guard at the door. He impatiently took out the altar and asked, "A Handsome Old Man, what did you get?" He was actually a money grubber, just like A Handsome Old Man.

This time, the other party had taken the initiative to deliver the rewards. Guo Shier happily took them without any burden. He directly placed them on the altar and had A Handsome Old Man take inventory.

A Handsome Old Man popped his head out, looking extremely happy. The list he had given him was filled with rare items. Many of them were precious items that were no longer of much use to the ancient clans. Ten thousand years ago, however, these would have been rare items. Only the ancient clans had such resources. Ordinary clans wouldn't even have the chance to see them, let alone collect them.

Guo Shier asked, "How many natural runes did you get?" This was what he was most concerned about. Natural runes could be used to construct altars and upgrade altars. These things were the core. However, using natural runes to construct altars was an ancient method. There were very few people who could obtain this inheritance. Therefore, even if many professionals obtained natural runes, they wouldn't use them on altars. Most of them would use them to refine sacrificial artifacts.

According to the words of the handsome old man, it was a reckless waste of God's gifts, ruining all the good things. The few professionals who could construct altars with natural runes according to the inheritance often couldn't obtain the correct method.

A Handsome Old Man said proudly, "Not many, just three natural runes, haha …"

Guo Shi 'er exclaimed, "Holy crap, three! We've been busy for so many years and only found three natural runes. You extorted three in one go. You think it's not many? Tell me, which three natural symbols are they? "He was extremely curious in his heart. The Gu Nan Family was really generous.

A Handsome Old Man explained, "It's nothing. Although natural runes are rare, there are still many in Hakone Daima Heaven. They have a base here. After thousands of years, they should have accumulated a lot. I guess … these natural runes aren't very important to the Gunan family. Otherwise, they wouldn't have given them to you so easily."

Guo Shier thought about it and agreed. After arriving at Hakone Daima Heaven, he had found three natural runes. The Gunan family had been here for so long. There was no reason why they couldn't collect them. He said, "But these things can be used to construct altars. Don't they need them?"

A Handsome Old Man said, "Their method of constructing altars is different from ours. Using natural runes to construct altars is an ancient method. Not many people know that their altars aren't constructed with natural runes. I can see this."

Guo Shier asked, "My altar is constructed with an ancient method?" He didn't know much about other people's altars. Because he advanced too fast, he still lacked a lot of knowledge.

A Handsome Old Man nodded and said, "You have Gumelion, which contains natural runes. However, the natural runes in Gumelion can't be extracted. If you forcibly extract them, Gumelion will completely collapse. Gumelion is similar to an altar constructed with an ancient method. With this as the foundation, your altar can only be constructed with an ancient method. If you use an ordinary method, the power will be much weaker. "

"You know, the best altars are the Heaven Altar, the Earth Altar, and the Soul Altar. If the natural runes are used well, they can have some of the attributes of the Heaven Altar. If you really want to construct the Heaven Altar, it's too difficult. We can use natural runes to construct altars, which can also reach the power of the Heaven Altar … I don't know who else can construct altars like this. "

Guo Shier asked, "If you want to construct the Heaven Altar, how many natural runes do you need?"

A Handsome Old Man smiled and said, "Don't be greedy. Constructing the Heaven Altar requires at least five different attributes of natural runes. That's too difficult."

Guo Shier said, "Just five natural runes. That shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

A Handsome Old Man laughed and scolded, "Bullsh * t! It's five elements, not five types! A single element of natural runes, such as the gold element, includes hundreds of natural gold runes … You've only collected one natural gold rune in total. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. You're a joke! "

Guo Shier exclaimed, "Damn! Where do you get so many natural runes! The gold element needs hundreds of runes. If you add the runes of the other elements, won't you need five to six hundred natural runes? "

A Handsome Old Man said lightly, "That's not enough. You still need to add the auxiliary natural runes … If you don't have thousands of natural runes, you don't need to consider this problem. In our era, there were methods to construct and refine the Heaven Altar, but no one was able to succeed. Now … I guess it's lost. "

Guo Shier shook his head and said, "That's crazy. You need thousands of natural runes … That's a scam. I only found three. Oh right, what are the three natural runes that you extorted?"

A Handsome Old Man said, "One Xin rune, one Wood rune, and one Toughen rune of the auxiliary element. Unfortunately, I can't specify which natural rune I want. I can only accept whatever they give me. Among these three natural runes, the most useful one is the Wood rune. It should be extracted from an ancient wood. It's a very good natural rune. It can be used to construct the third layer of the altar. "

"The Xin rune can be used to strengthen the core of the first layer of the altar. Your original altar used the gold rune to construct the first layer. Using the Xin rune to supplement it is the best. The Toughen rune is also good. Not only can it be used to refine the sacrificial treasure, but it can also be used on the altar. "

Guo Shier said, "It seems that we need to continue looking for natural runes."
