Chapter 606: Chapter 601 Family Plans Qin Yan Qin Huang
In the Cave Mansion, Qin Long’s face was flushed with a deep red, and his body was enveloped in layers of scorching aura. Vast quantities of Spiritual Energy converged at his beckoning, pouring into his body through the pores all over and circulating repeatedly through his ridians and acupoints. As it transford into True Yuan, it also refined his body, rendering his flesh translucent and his bones as luminous as jade.
It must be said that Qin Long’s talents and aptitude were indeed remarkable. While refining the Fire Spirit Fruit and gaining the pure power of fire spirit within it, he had also completely accepted the Fla Principle contained therein.
Even more, with this principle as his foundation, it sparked inspirations that blossod into thoughts. Combining his many years of cultivation experience, he comprehended even more of the laws of the principle.
Although he had just advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm, his understanding of the Fire Elent Principle was truly impressive. The principle contained in the Fire Spirit Fruit, added to his insights during the advancent, made him significantly stronger than the average cultivator who relied only on personal comprehension!
Such were the advantages of possessing wondrous treasures like the Fire Spirit Fruit.
Just like how Liu Xuanling had been at the ti she initially reached the Purple Mansion Realm. She was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with middle-stage Purple Mansion Cultivators not only because she had cultivated two inheritances that led directly to the Immortal Dao and rged them into her foundation but also due to refining a Heavenly Connecting Lotus and relying on the Power of Laws within it to strengthen her abilities.
The attribute of the Law within the Heavenly Connecting Lotus depended on the cultivator who nurtured it, so that lotus wasn’t entirely compatible with Liu Xuanling.
But Qin Long was different.
His Lifebound Spiritual Beast was the Red Fla Demon Dragon, and the Cultivation Technique he practiced also pertained to the Fire Elent, sharing the sa origin as the Fire Spirit Fruit that contained the Fire Elent Principle. Therefore, the effect of his refining the Fire Spirit Fruit was even greater than that of Liu Xuanling refining the Heavenly Connecting Lotus; if not for the fact that his own accumulation and foundation were sowhat lacking, he might have also reached the level Liu Xuanling had upon her initial advancent.
At this ti, Qin Long’s mind was free of distractions, fully imrsed in the comprehension of the Laws.
Cultivators, at the mont their Golden Core shattered to form a Nascent Soul, would have their Divine Sense unfold, matching extrely well with the fluctuations of heaven and earth, making their comprehension of Heaven and Earth Laws the strongest. No cultivator would be distracted at such a mont, nor would they be willing to be.
When the surge of Spiritual Energy at Luofeng Cliff ceased, several hours had already passed.
At this ti, many mbers of the Qin Family were eagerly anticipating.
They huddled together, whispering in low voices. None of them spoke loudly, as if afraid of disturbing Qin Long’s breakthrough.
However, the excitent on these clan mbers’ faces could not be concealed. From ti to ti, they would look up and glance about, overjoyed at the sight of the anomalies above Luofeng Cliff.
Although the Old Family Master had previously inford the clan mbers about Qin Feng’s advancent to the Dharma Image Realm to boost their morale, Qin Feng could not stay for long before needing to return to his Sect. Considering the current state of the Cultivation World, he might not have a chance to return to his family for decades to co.
Even as his Dao Cultivation progressed, that period might only grow longer, so for many clan mbers, Qin Feng felt too distant.
But Qin Long was different. Since he had left the Beast Taming Sect, his focus would be on the family. After Qin Long advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm, he would spend most of his ti cultivating within the family, consolidating the Qin Family’s status as a major clan with a Purple Mansion Cultivator at its core. This fact alone would allow ordinary clan mbers to walk with their heads held higher.
The cultivators in the living room had stopped their discussions and shifted to casual chatter.
Qin Long was advancing, and Qin Guanbao didn’t have much mind to continue discussing cooperation with them. Now was not the ti to talk about such matters, and they were not in a hurry. It would be just right to congratulate Qin Long after his successful advancent and also take the opportunity at the banquet to et Qin Feng and deepen the impression, which might co in handy in the future.
In the Cultivation World, most families belonging to cultivators were tied to various sects and factions. Even if so Loose Cultivators occasionally obtained Divine Skill Secret thods and established families to pass down their bloodlines, those families would also choose sects they felt close to for their descendants to join. Over ti, they effectively beca affiliates of those sects.
There were very few truly independent major families in the entire Cultivation World, unless they were like the Divine Weapon Family, which had a Golden Immortal Great Power sitting at the helm; otherwise, ordinary families simply did not have the qualifications to stand apart from the world.
Since they were affiliated with various sects, they would inevitably be summoned by those sects to join expeditions to Otherworlds when battles beca intense.
The families that ca to discuss cooperation with the Qin Family were mostly attached to the Beast Taming Sect or sects on good terms with it. Otherwise, Qin Guanbao would not dare to have too many entanglents with external forces during the early stages of his family’s developnt.
These family heads knew that there would inevitably co a ti when they would go on expeditions with the Beast Taming Sect. If they could establish a good relationship with Qin Feng now, in the future, on the battlefield, they wouldn’t expect special treatnt from Qin Feng; they would just hope that in tis of danger, Qin Feng would not stand by indifferently but rember their goodwill today. Or perhaps, if they could claim an association with Qin Feng’s na on or off the battlefield, it could bring them many benefits.
But Qin Feng’s na was not one that could be carelessly used; if soone dared to invoke it without a proper relationship, it might instead invite others’ sches. This was why these families were so eager to form marriage alliances with the Qin Family.
…
Qin Long’s advancent undoubtedly brought great encouragent to his family. Over several days, the smiles never faded from the clan mbers’ faces.
When the families of cultivators who had just visited learned the news, they imdiately returned to the Qin Family to offer their congratulations, keeping Qifeng Mountain in a bustling state for days until the congratulations gradually subsided.
Those families ready to collaborate with the Qin Family, upon seeing Qin Feng elevate his father to the Purple Mansion Realm in such a short period of ti, one by one relaxed their stance and conceded far more benefits than their original bottom line. It was clear that they considered the relationship with the Qin Family to be more important than imdiate benefits, willing to give up short-term gains for long-term planning.
After all, it wasn’t like they weren’t going to make a profit; there was no need to insist on making that extra bit of Spirit Stones off the Qin Family. Their families were much larger and more established, genuinely incomparable to a newly rising family like the Qin Family.
Once these families made their concessions, Qin Guanbao swiftly reached agreents with them in a very short ti.
Qin Feng didn’t inquire about the specifics; he trusted that the Old Family Master was surely considering the best interest of the family. And since he himself wasn’t usually at ho, even knowing these details wouldn’t be much help. It would be better to focus on cultivation, as raising his own cultivation would enable the family to gain more benefits.
Atop the cliff, in Qin Guanbao’s Cave Mansion, father and son, Qin Long and Qin Feng, were seated beside each other, discussing family affairs.
Qin Feng, with a smile, summoned several Spiritual Beasts such as the Ghost Spider and introduced them to the Old Family Master and his father. Seeing their surprise, he ordered the Ghost Spider and the others to obediently follow the commands of the Old Family Master and his father from now on, to invisibly and silently protect the family.
On the surface, the Qin Family had two Purple Mansion cultivators, one being Qin Long and the other, the Tree Demon.
But if soone secretly sched, thinking that was all the Qin Family’s strength, they would be in for a great loss.
With the Ghost Spider’s abilities in concealnt and ambush, even a Dharma Image cultivator could potentially be severely injured in an unguarded mont, not to ntion the regular Purple Mansion cultivators.
After introducing the Spiritual Beasts, Qin Feng waved his hand for the Ghost Spider and the others to leave, then asked the Old Family Master how the Essence Blood integration for his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, the Shadow Leopard, had been going in this period.
After learning that the blood fusion process had gone smoothly, Qin Feng took out several demon cores emanating dark or fiery auras and handed them to the Old Family Master, “These are the demon cores of Spiritual Beasts such as the Shadow Demon Spider, the Ghost Spider, the Shadow Demon Snake, and the Chi Yan Leopard. I collected them specially for you while I was in the Otherworld. They range from eighth to ninth level. While fusing the Essence Blood, try to have the Shadow Leopard devour these demon cores. It will certainly allow it to cultivate to the Golden Core Peak in the shortest ti possible, and its power can also nourish you in return, achieving a simultaneous enhancent.”
“There’s no need for so many!”
Qin Guanbao shook his head, “The several eighth-level demon cores are more than enough; there’s no need to waste the ninth-level ones.”
“Don’t be thrifty about this,”
Qin Feng said with a smile, “I won’t be able to stay at ho for long, and I can’t accompany you through a slow cultivation process, nor can I rest easy with you refining the Fire Spirit Fruit alone. So please, don’t be polite, and make the promotion of your Lifebound Spiritual Beast a priority.
Not only the Shadow Leopard but also for yourself. Don’t hesitate to use the resources I’ve given you, even at the expense of so waste. With our family’s current foundation, we can afford it, and the primary goal is to quickly enhance our strength.”
Qin Guanbao nodded, “Rest assured, I understand.”
He realized that Qin Feng’s ti was precious, and as the Master of Qi Luck, he might encounter opportunities at any ti. It would not do to waste Qin Feng’s ti over a bit of resource frugality.
In comparison, Qin Feng’s progress was the most important; he couldn’t keep Qin Feng in the family for too long, as that would hinder Qin Feng’s cultivation speed.
After receiving the demon cores and other items from Qin Feng, Qin Guanbao chuckled bitterly as he fed a demon core to the Shadow Leopard beside him. When had he beco so extravagant to feed eighth- and ninth-level demon cores to his Lifebound Spiritual Beast as if they were snacks?
However, he quickly set aside his emotions and spoke to Qin Feng, “The family’s developnt is now on the right track. Every year, many of our clanspeople open their ridians and connect with nature’s spiritual energy to beco cultivators. Over the years, we’ve even discovered so children with decent talent and aptitude.
But I was thinking that since the Sect has you and Miss Xi to look after the family, I haven’t sent more children to the Sect these past years to prevent the talented ones from all leaving, which could lead to a lack of strength in the family’s future developnt.”
“Uncle Nine is right.”
Qin Feng nodded in agreent, “After all, our Qin Family has shallow roots, and now is the ti when the family needs to accumulate strength. Focusing on family developnt is the right choice.”
“That’s what I thought too,”
Qin Guanbao said with a smile, “However, we can’t rely entirely on the two of you at the Sect. You certainly don’t have much ti to look after the family regularly, and Miss Xi has gone to the Otherworld and has not returned until now. So I’m thinking of sending two more children to the Sect this year.
I don’t expect them to achieve as much as you and Qin Xi did in cultivation, but at least they can serve as a link between the Sect and the family. And if more disciples join the Sect in the future, it will be convenient to have soone there to take care of them.
After all, you are busy with cultivation, and Miss Xi has already advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm, so you can’t be expected to personally care for the young clansn who join the Sect in the future.”
“Hehe, no worries,”
Qin Feng said with a smile, “Although I can’t personally take care of them, with my current status, a simple command would naturally get others to help. However, if they’re taken care of too well and lose the opportunity for hardship, it’s uncertain what realm they can grow into in the future.”
“There’s no need for special care,”
the Old Family Master shook his head, “Tis have changed; the family now has enough resources for their cultivation. They have much better treatnt than when you and Qin Xi started out. If they can’t achieve sothing despite these favorable conditions, they could be considered diocre and not worth supporting.”
Qin Feng said, “It’s still important to send clan disciples into the Sect in the future, after all, we can’t cut off their path to advancent. Once the family has fully developed, we can even send a few more to the Sect like those big families do, gradually establishing connections in the Sect, and gaining a foothold there.
Uncle Nine, you might as well bring the clanspeople you’ve chosen to join the Sect this year to et . If their talent and character are indeed good, I have so opportunities here that I could bestow upon them.
After all, they are our own family mbers, and if they can establish themselves in the Sect in the future, it will be good for and for the family.”
“That sounds good!”
Qin Guanbao nodded in agreent. Since Qin Feng was willing to et them, he certainly wouldn’t refuse, and it would be even better if a few more Inner Sect Disciples erged from the family.
With the release of a Sound Transmission Talisman from his hand, in no ti, Qin Yang walked in leading two young boys and girls.
“Family Head!”
Even though Qin Yang was sowhat careless in his usual deanor, he made sure not to lack proper etiquette, especially in front of the two youngsters, to avoid setting a bad example.
Although he was only in his forties, both his Golden Core cultivation and his standing in the family were not low.
“Grandson Qin Yan pays respects to the Family Head, the Great Elder, and Clan Uncle.”
“Qin Huang’er pays respects to the Family Head, the Great Elder, and Clan Uncle!”
The two thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boys and girls entered the Cave Mansion and imdiately perford respectful greetings.
After all, not only were they in the presence of their elders, but there were also cultivators of the Purple Mansion and even the Dharma Image Realms, and they dared not be disrespectful.
The Great Elder referred to Qin Long, who had already beco the family’s Great Elder after achieving Golden Core.
As for Clan Uncle, of course, it was Qin Feng.
Qin Feng looked at the two youngsters and couldn’t help but feel a bit sentintal. He had unexpectedly beco an elder in the eyes of others. As he watched the two before him, he even felt like caring for the future generations of the family, viewing them as children.
