Preparing to Act, Golden-Winged Bird!

With more people comes greater power.

Various standards and regulations followed, and to facilitate unification, the Qin Clan introduced the Qin Coin policy, which can be understood as a special type of points...

Qin Coin Qin Coin generally divided into three colors: black, blue, and red. The exchange rate for each color was 100 to 1, meaning one Spirit Stone could be exchanged for one Qing Coin or one hundred Black Coin...

For example, a piece of Spirit Stone stone would be embedded inside Black Coin to signify its value.

Thus, Qin Coin could be exchanged for spirit goat milk, jade cloud eggs, elixirs, Law Artifact, and even secret cultivation techniques within the Qin Clan territory!

The method of obtaining Qin Coin was also very simple and straightforward...

It can be done by completing tasks assigned by the Qin Clan, or by exchanging spiritual items. Although it hasn't been widely known outside the Qin Clan's territory...

No one would refuse to accept Qin Coin, especially those with low cultivation levels!

Those who choose to become subjects of the Qin Clan dynasty use Qin Coin as a secondary currency to Spirit Stone, saving both time and effort...

Putting aside other things--

Since the introduction of Qin Coin, the Qin Clan has continuously escalated its practice of exchanging currency for resources, thereby reaping massive amounts of resources and Spirit Stone...

Several iterations were even conducted during this period.

By optimizing the appearance as much as possible and meticulously refining every imperfection in the Qin Coin, the cost of producing counterfeit coins far exceeds that of genuine ones, let alone counterfeiting them...

Furthermore, the Qin Coin clearly defined the price range for spiritual items, making its promotion extremely smooth and unimpeded...

Like before--

A ginseng plant that is fifty or sixty years old is considered First-Tier Mid-Grade Spirit Plant, worth about half a Spirit Stone, and is extremely inconvenient to purchase.

You also need to break the Spirit Stone in half and buy it for half Spirit Stone.

Now, the same item only costs 45 Black Coin in the Qin Clan's territory; the price is standardized, and there's no need to compromise the integrity of the Spirit Stone...

Moreover, Qin Coin themselves possess a trace of Spiritual Qi.

In extreme cases, Qin Coin can also be used as Spirit Stone, but Black Coin will only contain a maximum of one wisp of Spiritual Qi...

As the saying goes: prosperous times bring splendor, but eventually return to tranquility.

The rise and fall of the Qin family may be just a matter of a single thought, and the heavy responsibility of the Qin Clan's rise to power falls on Qin Lu alone!

In rare cases, a Lineage's rise to power is achieved through banding together and climbing the ladder step by step; in most cases...

It was all by chance that a Qilin was born, thus guiding the entire Lineage...

Use this to achieve great success!

Qin Lu is such a person. The heights he can reach are likely to be the heights that the Beichuan Qin Family will reach in the future.

It is indeed a heavy responsibility for the entire clan, so you can imagine the immense pressure involved...

But the same.

In order to ensure Qin Lu could cultivate in peace, over the past few years, the Lineage has spared no effort to provide any useful resources or fulfill any request Qin Lu had...

As long as Qin Lu needs it, the entire Lineage's resources will be allocated to him!

If Qin Lu needs a certain material, the Qin Clan will have everyone under their jurisdiction use every means at their disposal to help him find it!

Some trivial matters no longer require Qin Lu to run around...

This is much less stressful than cultivating alone, as you don't have to constantly run around for resources!

Ba City -- the summit of Muxuan Mountain

The Pill Pavilion has been established for a long time, and this is where Qin Lu has been cultivating in seclusion in recent years. It's not that Qin Lu doesn't want to go to a better place...

But only here could Qin Lu feel truly at ease!

Although he didn't say it, several Qi Condensation auras remained constantly on guard around Muxuan Mountain: Qin Wu, Qin Zhuang, Qing Centipede, Forest Peak Giant Deer...

And last year, the Golden-Winged Black Bird was promoted to the Second-Tier!

Five Qi Condensation Realm warriors were constantly guarding Muxuan Mountain; this was Qin Xiao's idea. Judging by the time, Qin Lu had already reached the final stage...

To eliminate all potential threats.

Qin Xiao decreed that of the seven Qi Condensation warriors currently existing in the clan, five must be on guard at all times to ensure Qin Lu's peaceful cultivation...

Qin Lu lived up to expectations, and after several years of honing his skills, he naturally advanced to the Qi Condensation Ninth Layer Perfection!

A blue Dao Rhyme flowed around his body.

King Wood Dao Rhyme was also fully comprehended, able to borrow a trace of King Wood from heaven and earth to fight enemies, and beyond that, to bear a Dao Law...

With that Dao Rhyme, the foundation of the Dao is forged!

That is the Dao Foundation Realm!

With a long, drawn-out breath, Qin Lu gradually withdrew from his meditative state...

He steadied himself, stabilized his state, and looked back, only to find that he had reached the end of the Qi Condensation path, a hurdle that many Qi Condensation cultivators could never overcome in their entire lives...

Can the Dao be comprehended in a day or two?

"That's about it..."

"I've reached the limit of Qi Condensation, and my comprehension of Dao Rhyme has reached the limit I can bear. The rest..."

"It's nothing more than an opportunity, an opportunity to break down the old and build anew."

"We can start preparing now..."

Qin Lu murmured--

Following this, a series of instructions were issued. After Qin Xiao received the instructions, he began various arrangements, including those concerning the behemoth that was the Beichuan Qin Family...

And it started operating rapidly!

In a very short time, Qin Xiao found more than ten kinds of spiritual objects that could strengthen the body, ranging from Second-Tier to Third-Tier spiritual objects...

On the Twenty-Four Peaks of the Qin Clan, all the Third-Tier Spirit Plant that could be used had had some of their new shoots or tender buds removed...

It's quite the show of gathering all sorts of plants to help Qin Lu break through!

Furthermore, a massive amount of Spirit Stone, numbering in the tens of thousands, were secretly transported to Muxuan Mountain; some of these were stolen by the Qin Clan...

Some of it came from legitimate business, while some was plundered from the lower classes.

To store this Spirit Stone --

In the center of Muxuan Mountain, a giant cavern was carved out, where tens of thousands of Spirit Stone gathered into a sea, piled up into a mountain, and placed within the mountain body...

Spiritual Qi gathers and transforms into spiritual mist.

The spiritual mist clung to the rock face, gradually transforming into spiritual liquid that dripped down, completely submerging the mountain of Spirit Stone. The Spiritual Qi became so concentrated and liquid...

With each breath, the spiritual mist nourishes the spleen and lungs. An ordinary True Martial Realm Warrior would probably not last more than a quarter of an hour to enter this place.

Their bodies would be forcibly burst apart by the Spiritual Qi of this place...

This almost tangible Spiritual Qi was ultimately channeled through the array and continuously introduced into the secret chamber where Qin Lu was!

Just when everything was ready--

Qin Mingwan gazed at Muxuan Mountain from afar, her previously dreamy eyes completely fading, replaced by a cold and indifferent expression...

After three years, Jing Ke has completely taken over Qin Mingwan's body!

Qin Mingwan's soul finally vanished completely at this moment, devoured by Jing Ke, becoming the resources for his path to immortality...

"I've been touching it for several years..."

"Now I can finally get a clear picture of their strength: a sect with four Qi Condensation, plus three Second-Tier Demon Beast, and Qin Laogui..."

"And Qin Zhao, the fifth brother who disappeared many years ago, has nearly ten Qi Condensation Realm warriors in his family, which is considered to be in the first tier among many hegemonic forces!"

"The Qin Clan is truly a force to be reckoned with!"

"There have always been rumors that Old Ghost Qin's Dao Path immortality has ended, but today it seems that the Qin Clan has completely outmaneuvered this cunning scheme that only serves to cover things up..."

"If that's the case..."

"Then I'll add fuel to the fire and see if your Qin Clan is truly impervious to the test of fire!"

"It was I, Jing, who, with my brute force, seized your Qin Clan's foundation, annihilated three generations of your Qin Clan's legacy, and will surely bring them to the brink of extinction..."
