Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Qin Zhixing glared fiercely at Qin Zhigang before turning to the clan leader: "Rest assured, clan leader, I have inquired about it. Yuehan, that girl, appears cold on the outside, but is actually gentle and kind-hearted, never causing trouble. She is highly praised by everyone in the Cyan Cloud Sect."

"That’s good."

Qin Zhicheng nodded slightly.

"Zhixing, you are Yuehan’s grand uncle, her closest blood relative. When you receive her later, make sure everything is thorough and considerate, so as not to create a rift between Yuehan and our Qin family of Purple Maple Mountain."

Qin Zhixing straightened his posture, patting his chest: "Clan leader need not worry! I’ll take care of it. I will do my utmost to ensure Yuehan feels the warmth of the family and develops a sense of belonging to our Qin family of Purple Maple Mountain."

"Yes, everyone can trust Zhixing to handle this matter."

Qin Zhicheng pondered, saying: "Speaking of which, I too bear some responsibility for this matter. I have been focused only on the ancestral land and the outstanding disciples of the clan, neglecting the spirit root descendants scattered in the mortal world. We should learn from this."

"The clan leader speaks too heavily."

Another experienced clan elder spoke up to comfort.

"Our Qin family has tens of thousands of bloodline descendants in the mortal world. Even if the clan leader has the heart, it’s difficult to attend to each one. This is normal and not your fault."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Someone like Qin Yuehan, coming from the mortal world with average aptitude yet able to join the Cyan Cloud Sect and ultimately establish a Dao Foundation, is extremely rare.

Being able to condense a Fake Pill is even more unprecedented.

However, a mere Fake Pill True Master is indeed not much for the Qin family of Purple Maple Mountain.

Throughout Purple Maple Mountain, there are more than a dozen Fake Pill True Masters.

According to the unstated rules of these sect families, unless they possess special skills in pill, talisman, formation, or artifact.

Otherwise, ordinary female Fake Pill cultivators are mostly used for marriage alliances to strengthen relationships with other families.

From the beginning, many of Qin Zhigang’s actions were actually under the clan leader Qin Zhicheng’s instruction and consent.

Who could have foreseen that Qin Yuehan’s fellow disciple Shen Xuan not only achieved the rare Ice Technique Golden Core but also advanced rapidly, stepping into the Divine Power Realm Body Refining Master, surpassing the threshold of a Tier Four Great Cultivator.

Such things are simply unheard of.

If not for the ancestor Purple Maple True Monarch personally reporting, they would hardly believe it.

Even for the Qin family of Purple Maple Mountain, due to not having produced a Golden Core for many years, their influence within the Profound Celestial Sect has declined.

After all, Purple Maple True Monarch has long been in seclusion, ignoring sect mundane affairs.

And sect families follow a basic rule.

Clan offspring wishing to hold key positions in the sect must have a corresponding realm cultivation as support.

Compared to ordinary disciples without any background, sect family offspring may receive priority consideration but absolutely cannot break the rules and fill the ranks.

This is also for the overall benefit of the sect.

After all, sect interests always precede family interests.

Just at this time, a member of the Qin family hurriedly entered the reception hall, respectfully handing over a Jade Scroll.

Qin Zhicheng received it, swiftly scanning it with his Divine Sense.

A moment later, he raised his eyes, his expression serious, and said heavily to everyone: "Send down the order for all clan members to pay attention to their words and actions. Yuehan is arriving soon."

...

One hour later.

At the horizon of Shen Xuan’s field of vision, the main peak of Purple Maple Mountain, shrouded in purple mist, became increasingly distinct.

In front of the Qin family entrance, Qin Zhigang had already led Qin Zhixing and several clan elders to stand solemnly in wait.

Earlier, the Qin family members placed in the Zheng family’s Jin Lan Mountain had quickly relayed the message via Spiritual Bird.

The Jade Scroll contained a few words, explaining that Shen Xuan and Qin Yuehan had once stayed in Jin Lan Mountain, the two riding a Tier Two Upper Grade Celestial Horse.

Purple Maple Mountain is three thousand miles away from Jin Lan Mountain, but to a Tier Two Celestial Horse, it is merely a journey of one or two hours.

"They’re here!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly whispered.

Upon hearing, all clan elders raised their heads to look.

Upon the sky, they saw a magnificent Silver Celestial Horse spreading its colorful wings, breaking through the sky.

On the horse’s back, two people were side by side, none other than Shen Xuan and Qin Yuehan.

The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse neighed loudly, its colorful wings fluttering, stirring up gentle air currents, and slowly descending on the flat ground in front of the mountain gate.

"True Master Shen! Yuehan girl!"

Qin Zhigang’s face was full of smiles as he hurried forward, his expression radiant.

"Yuehan greets Thirteenth Grandfather."

Qin Yuehan gracefully dismounted, bowing.

Qin Zhigang was ranked thirteenth among his peers.

Her greeting of "Thirteenth Grandfather" gave him full respect.

Shen Xuan followed by landing, slightly nodding to everyone, clasping his fists: "Shen Xuan of Cyan Cloud Sect, greets the elders of the Qin family."

In the Profound Origin Realm, cultivators, except those of the same sect and lineage, mostly address others based on realm.

Shen Xuan, as a Tier Four Great Cultivator, calling these True Pill and Fake Pill clan elders "elders" showed a very humble posture, giving sufficient face to the Qin family.

"True Master Shen, Yuehan girl, let me introduce you."

Qin Zhigang stepped aside, pointing to the kindly smiling slightly plump elder beside him.

"This is my seventh brother, Qin Zhixing, also your grandfather’s own cousin."

Qin Yuehan hurriedly bowed again, her tone sincere: "Yuehan greets Seventh Grandfather. Seventh Grandfather looks so much like Grandfather!"

Qin Zhixing’s smile became even more amiable, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes: "Indeed. Back then, I grew up alongside your grandfather on Purple Maple Mountain. Sadly, he had no Spirit Root and had to leave the mountain upon adulthood to inherit the mortal throne."

Several other clan elders also stepped forward to greet them.

The atmosphere was warm and lively.

Soon, everyone gathered Shen Xuan and Qin Yuehan in the center and proceeded together into the clan territory.

Clan leader Qin Zhicheng had already brought several resident clan elders to await at the reception hall.

Another round of introductions and pleasantries ensued.

Qin Zhicheng’s words were earnest and his manner considerate.

Shen Xuan discreetly observed this person.
