The path of martial arts is somewhat similar to some academic disciplines.

The deeper you go, the more incredible, the more obscure, and the harder to comprehend it becomes.

Like mathematics, at the pinnacle of mastery, a published paper might only be understood by dozens of people worldwide.

Even if others might not comprehend it, it does not affect the knowledge's correctness.

The journey of martial arts, when advanced, reveals ever more astonishing scenery along the way.

Those widespread legends and tales seem to be slowly unveiled by martial artists like Su Fan.

Grandmaster Bai Zongze was quite shaken this time.

A Martial Arts Grandmaster, a martial artist in the True Qi realm.

One must achieve "mastery of martial arts" to earn such a crown.

Yet now, a black cat has also reached such a realm.

To most martial artists, this seems absurd and unacceptable.

If a black cat can possess such power,

then were legendary creatures like Suan Ni, Red Training Snake King, Great Turtle, and Kui truly existing at some point in the past?

Su Fan and Bai Zongze have no answers to this question.

Until now, the special animals Su Fan has seen are only the Red Training Snake King and Mystic Cat.

Other poisonous insects and snakes do not have True Qi circulating within them.

After confirming the reality of the Mystic Cat, Bai Zongze revealed his purpose for coming this time.

"Divine Doctor Su, the Bai family's ancestral land possesses some special items."

Among all the hidden ancestral lands Su Fan has visited the most, the Bai family's ancestral land in Yue Tan Mountain is the place.

For a long time, he went to the Bai family's ancestral land daily.

He has explored nearly every part of the Bai family's ancestral land.

If anything special existed in the Bai family's ancestral land, he should have already discovered it.

But he didn't find any extremely top-tier treasures, despite searching thoroughly.

This time, Bai Zongze seems prepared to entrust him with the details.

Things that weren't disclosed to him before are now being openly told by Bai Zongze.

Su Fan immediately asked, "Grandmaster Bai, what special item is in the Bai family's ancestral land?"

This time, Bai Zongze didn't answer directly but took out a jade talisman.

The shape of this jade talisman is somewhat like the Tiger Talisman used to command troops during the Warring States period.

Moreover, this jade talisman can also be split into two halves.

However, Tiger Talismans used for commanding troops are usually black or gold.

The Tiger Talisman Bai Zongze took out was the White Jade Tiger Talisman.

Su Fan glanced at the White Jade Tiger Talisman and asked, "What is this, Elder Bai?"

Bai Zongze sighed, "This is the family token of the hidden Bai family."

"Our hidden Bai family's origin is a branch of Bailixi's descendants."

"Because we were granted this White Jade Tiger Talisman as a family token, we changed our surname to Bai, thus becoming the hidden Bai family."

Bai Zongze's statement conflicted with some of Su Fan's previous understanding.

According to what he knows, the true source of hidden families indeed stems from the Three Continents and Ten Islands.

These hidden families had existed during the reign of Yao, Shun, and Yu.

Bailixi was a minister of the Qin state during the Spring and Autumn period, much later than those figures.

Nonetheless, it doesn't matter; at this moment, Su Fan just wants to know what use this thing has.

He immediately asked, "What is the purpose of this White Jade Tiger Talisman?"

Bai Zongze's answer surprised Su Fan somewhat.

Because Bai Zongze's answer was, "Even I don't know."

"However, it's said that in the Bai family's ancestral land, there's a treasure that resonates with this item."

"That treasure greatly benefits the improvement of one's martial arts boundary."

"So, I wish to invite Divine Doctor Su to visit the Bai family's ancestral land once more."
