"Find this last Fragmented Map for me, and I'll make you the foremost cultivator in the Tannan Dynasty. How does that deal sound?"
"Is what you say true, Senior?"
Ma Chunliang's eyes lit up. Only after the words left his mouth did he realize Qin Jiuge's identity.
Anything Qin Jiuge casually tossed from his pocket would be enough to let him rise against the odds and become a first-rate figure in the Tannan Dynasty.
Yet Big Baldy did not wish to snatch at such immediate gains. His tiny eyes widened into circles, and he awkwardly wrung his hands as he spoke. "Senior, I wonder if this junior may join your Qin Family? Or even the smallest subordinate faction under the Qin Family—this junior would be willing. Had I not met you, Senior, I naturally would have been content to remain a minor cultivator in the Tannan Dynasty. But now that I have met you, Senior, I have developed other thoughts as well. I hope Senior can grant my wish."
Big Baldy's request was not excessive in Qin Jiuge's eyes.
The Qin Family had countless subordinate factions, like stars strewn across the sky. In Qin Jiuge's mind, there were at least three digits' worth.
What was more, those subordinate factions had subordinate factions of their own. After such layers of succession, exceeding four digits would be perfectly normal.
After a moment's thought, Qin Jiuge readily agreed. "That can be arranged, but it depends on whether you can find the Fragmented Map. Find it within ten days, and you may join a subordinate faction of the Qin Family. Find it within thirty days, and you may join a subordinate faction's subordinate faction. If you only find it within half a year, then I'll give you only a bottle of cultivation Pills. How
