Paths for Each Branch, Cloud Dream Mountain!
Ba City -- Twenty-Four Peaks -- Spirit Tea Peak
Besides the third brother Qin Wu, who had already prepared to Qi Condensation, the second brother Qin Hui, was also making his final preparations...
at the moment--
Among the second generation of the Qin Clan, the eldest, Great Qin Xiaozhen, has reached the True Martial Completion Arts, but has not yet found a suitable method for Qi Condensation, and his spiritual light is at eight-tenths complete...
Qin Xiao was still conflicted about whether or not to use the [Cauldron Primordial Dao-Seeking Method].
As the second-generation patriarch and head of the Qin Clan, he naturally yearned to Qi Condensation. Although he was decisive and ruthless, compared to his father and fifth brother...
He was still somewhat conflicted about refining a female cultivator into a human pill.
certainly--
He's still young, only twenty-six or twenty-seven. He can try a few more times to break through. If he hasn't crossed this hurdle by the time he's thirty...
Qin Xiao also convinced himself to use the [Cauldron Primordial Dao-Seeking Method].
Having compassion is a good thing!
But it's impossible for him to abandon his Dao Path and uphold his benevolent heart...
I will still use it when necessary.
Qin Xiao was only concerned about his status; after all, as the patriarch of the second generation of the Qin Clan, doing such a thing would ultimately damage his reputation...
If he were to harden his heart, it would just be refining a human elixir; Qin Xiao has already wiped out quite a few small clans over the years.
As for the fourth brother, Qin Wen—
He's only in his early twenties, with a glimmer of inspiration, and hasn't yet reached the High True Martial Realm; he's still stuck at the True Martial Sixth Realm...
And the fifth son Qin Zhao—
Current cultivation level: True Martial Eighth Realm. With the help of the [Cauldron Primordial Dao-Seeking Method], my aptitude has only been raised to nine-tenths of its original level, and it is not yet perfect...
Furthermore, their main focus is on cultivating the Black Dragon Black Dragon in order to help it break through its current level.
At that time, with the aid of Second-Tier demon blood for body refinement, various spiritual objects, and Qi Condensation Pill, there will be a considerable chance of Qi Condensation...
As for Lao Liu Qin Zhuang--
He is currently at the True Martial Completion, but he is not in a hurry to break through. Like Qin Zhao, he is also waiting for a spirit beast to break through, but the former relies on the blood of a spirit beast...
Using beasts as a foundation to help them break through the barrier would fundamentally harm the spirit beasts...
Qin Zhuang, however, follows the pure path of beast taming!
Breaking through realms together with spirit beasts, they mutually support each other, so they don't need many spiritual objects to assist them; they have a chance to break through on their own...
Among Qin Hui's brothers, his condition was most similar to that of the fifth brother, Qin Zhao.
Qin Hui's aptitude is rather poor, with only seven points of talent.
He didn't choose the [Cauldron Primordial Dao-Seeking Method], but instead used the Beast Taming Dharma Sect in reverse; in other words, he himself became a beast...
The master is Second-Tier Awakening Soul Tea Tree!
Thanks to the Tea King's support, Qin Hui not only elevated her spiritual power, enabling her to refine elixirs.
Meanwhile, under the nourishment of the Tea King, his cultivation reached the True Martial Completion. With the Tea King's help, and after consuming the Qi Condensation Pill...
Qin Hui's chances of Breaking Condensing Qi stage are actually much higher!
In recent years --
Qin Hui devoted herself to studying herbs and Dao of Alchemy, spending her days and nights with plants, almost always sleeping under the open sky...
Furthermore, its body has become wood-like, making it essentially a half -Wood Demon.
Over the years, Qin Hui gradually developed the ability to communicate with plants and trees, even understanding their emotions and seeing them in their eyes...
The Tea King is like a beautiful jade maiden; the man and the tea tree together seem more like a married couple.
As for Qin Hui's three wives and concubines...
Since the birth of our child a few years ago, the bond between husband and wife has cooled considerably. She spends her days watching her husband wander around the flowers, plants, and trees...
The three women's jealousy had been stirred up countless times already!
But what can you do about it?
All three were from a minor clan in the True Martial family, and their marriage to the second young master of the Qin Clan was the envy of countless people. If the three of them dared to cause trouble...
Who knows how many people are waiting to take their place!
What could they do? They couldn't possibly uproot the Qin Clan's spirit medicine herbs and flowers and compete with a bunch of plants for attention...
The Zhao Clan and Meng Clan were alright; at least they had a pair of talented children!
Qin Hui's mother, Lady Han, fared much worse.
Behind his back, countless people gossiped about him, and Qin Hui, in turn, received a lot of contempt from a young age, though no one ever showed it...
after all--
No matter what, he was still a descendant of the Qin Clan. At most, he would be treated coldly, and more often, his mother, Lady Han, would be criticized for being incompetent and useless...
Later, Lady Han begged several times and climbed into Qin Hui's bed.
She later gave birth to twins, neither of whom showed any intelligence or talent. Qin Hui didn't even name them, sending them down the mountain to be raised by Lady Han at a young age...
Since then, Lady Han has never returned to Spirit Tea Peak.
With one son and two daughters, she returned to the Han Family, living a secluded life and gradually fading from public view, disappearing without a trace...
All that is known is that his son, Qin Hui, became a child prodigy under the tutelage of Han Fei!
At two years old, he could speak and walk; at three, he could compose poems...
Cloud Dream County -- Cloud Dream Mountain
The master of this place is a skilled fortune teller who, in his younger days, saved many Warrior and was rewarded by the Qin Clan...
Therefore, they established their lineage here and left behind a legacy.
As for the name of the lineage, the wandering sorcerers did not give it a name, and over time, many people simply called it: Cloud Dream Mountain!
The wandering sorcerer also acquired a refined title, and many people called him: Mr. Mengyu!
at this time--
It was dawn, the moment when the sun was just rising in the east.
Wang Xu, now a young man, bowed to his teacher and said:
"Master, a fake monk has come down from the mountain. He's a member of the Xuan River Zhang Clan, requesting an audience..."
What do you think?
Upon hearing this—
The young man, whose eyes were entirely white, slowly rose from the armchair. Though his eyes were devoid of light, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it as if he were an ordinary person...
"Please invite that benefactor up the mountain first, and as for the other one, tell him..."
"I am old and prefer peace and quiet. I have no intention of following that Duke of Pei. If he insists on seeing me, I will tell him that his path lies in the West."
"Go west, and perhaps you'll see tomorrow again."
"If we insist on staying here, the conflict between good and evil will inevitably lead to one of us falling..."
"The dragon and elephant are naturally formed; the Way lies in the Western Lands."
After speaking--
Wang Xu nodded in agreement, bowed, and withdrew to relay his master's words down the mountain...
As expected.
Upon hearing this, the members of the Xuan River Zhang Clan indeed stopped pressing the matter and even presented several Spirit Stone as a token of their gratitude...
It is said to be: a reward for pointing out the way.
Then the Zhang Clan family members rode off on horseback back to Pei City...
As for the fake monk, he was invited up the mountain.
When the charlatan and the fake monk met, despite it being their first meeting, they chatted happily as if they were old friends...
The two chatted about everything under the sun, from ancient and modern times to timeless classics, from the political situation in various countries to the suffering of ordinary people, from being born in hardship to dying in comfort...
The two talked a lot and discussed things very thoroughly.
But overall, fake monks are always a step behind charlatans...
The fake monk cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said:
"Mr. Mengyu, is it really as rumored?"
"Exceptionally knowledgeable, skilled in divination, well-versed in history, knowledgeable in Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, a master of ancient and modern times, and accomplished in medicine, etiquette, and law..."
"I admire you, I truly admire you!"
The wandering fortune teller shook his head, not taking up the subject, and said:
"You've come to see this old Daoist priest, surely not to discuss these matters..."
"If you wish to alleviate the suffering of the people, then you should travel to the Great Western Heaven. If you are ignorant of Buddhism and Daoism, then you may head south."
"In the south dwells the Vermilion Bird Fire, which can ignite the benevolent heart of the benefactor..."
