Chapter 603: Chapter 598 Family Trivia Arranging Experience

People’s desires always grow with time. Once, Guanbao thought that if he could achieve a Golden Core in this lifetime, it would already be a stroke of incredible luck.

After all, for a small family like the Qin Family, producing a single Golden Core Cultivator was enough to significantly bolster the family’s development and strength.

But now, when he reached the Late Stage of the Golden Core, not only had his past dreams been realized, but he also saw the possibility of advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm; unbeknownst to him, Guanbao’s mindset had undergone a transformation.

Perhaps his horizons had elevated along with his cultivation realm, drastically different from before. He began to aim for heights that were once nearly inconceivable, eager to tread the path of longevity!

Qin Feng viewed the Old Family Master’s change positively. If one dared not even dream, how could they continue cultivating?

“Let’s go, meet some people ahead.”

The Old Family Master cheerfully tugged at Qin Feng’s sleeve, leading him forward to meet the guests.

Guanbao did not elevate Qin Feng due to his current cultivation status; he knew Qin Feng did not need the close kin’s deference and flattery. Otherwise, if Qin Feng couldn’t feel kinship within the family, he would surely visit even less in the future.

Just like the ancestor of the Long Family, although the entire family descended from Long Qian’s bloodline, this Supreme Elder had not returned to see his family in over ten thousand years because those close to him had long passed away, and even the oldest and most senior members of the Long Family were many generations removed from Long Qian.

Thus, from very early on, members of the Long Family visited the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven to pay respects to their ancestor!

While Guanbao was worldly-wise and shrewd, his years had crafted a clear and sharp understanding of matters; he was well aware of this principle. Therefore, his attitude towards Qin Feng remained unchanged, as always.

This approach was clearly the right one. Although some family members’ attitudes towards Qin Feng had shifted, those who were traditionally close to him remained normal.

Especially Qin Yang, that fellow did not change his behavior despite his current status and cultivation. Rather, he was even more unabashed than before, often pestering Qin Feng for guidance on various matters and expressing a desire to gain experience in otherworlds.

Qin Feng did not refuse.

In fact, part of his reason for returning was to plan outings for family members to see the world, so he readily agreed to Qin Yang’s request.

After all, the Red Flame Demon Realm was no longer considered dangerous. As long as one did not court death by venturing into the main base of the opposing demon clans or provoking formidable demon beasts in the wilderness, both Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Cultivators could travel there.

Even if Qin Yang and others desired to visit the continent that Luo Zhancheng and others were currently conquering, that would be fine too. They could join the Beastman Army and participate in a few battles, gaining true experience.

Of course, preparations needed to be made before departing, such as taking along some of the magical equipment that Qin Feng had left behind, and various defensive treasures to ensure their safety on the battlefield, fulfilling the purpose of their experience!

For others desiring to use the Beast Taming Sect’s Space Gate to travel to other realms, a high cost was required, but for Qin Feng, it was merely a matter of requesting a few slots, simple and easy.

It wasn’t just him; within the Sect, several Elders had allocated slots to allow their kin to gain experience in otherworlds without cost. This was directed toward outsiders and allowed the Cultivators to help clear out demon clans while generating an additional source of income. Why wouldn’t they embrace such an opportunity?

To prevent exploitation of the Elders’ connections resulting in losses to the Sect, the identities of all Cultivators traveling to otherworlds had to be verified. Only the close kin of those Elders were allowed entry, thus thwarting the schemes of some.

“I greet Daoist Fellow Qin.”

In the grand hall of the Qin Mansion, numerous cultivators witnessed Guanbao leading Qin Feng and immediately bowed in respect, their words courteous, not addressing him informally due to his youth.

Setting aside the fact that most of their cultivations were inferior to Qin Feng’s, even those cultivators of the Dharma Image Realm or even higher, the Primordial Spirit Realm Cultivators, did not presume to act haughtily or rely on seniority upon meeting Qin Feng.

Acting arrogantly due to age also depended on the individual. For a Master of Qi Luck like Qin Feng, who could predict whether he might suddenly become a True Immortal? Just as the profound aura of his Dharma Image was currently evident, previously it had been widely rumored in the cultivation world that Qin Feng was at the Purple Mansion Cultivation level.

In the Qin Family, already crowded to capacity, the cultivators who could enter the hall were none below the Dao Cultivation of the Purple Mansion Realm. There were more than a dozen at the Dharma Image Realm, and even two Great Cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Realm, each either a Family Head or a Great Elder of major families.

These individuals were not only deeply skilled in their realms but also possessed keen insight. After hearing the Old Family Master’s plans to expand and strengthen the family, Qin Feng saw no need to conceal his cultivation, deliberately letting a portion of his aura show clearly.

Precisely because it was clear, these individuals were even more astonished.

According to the evaluation of the top-level true inheritances of the major sects in the cultivation world, they were all beings capable of fighting above their levels, and someone like Qin Feng, a chosen son with profound qi fortune, would only be stronger, never weaker than before.

Therefore, even Primordial Spirit Realm Great Cultivators spoke with quite a bit of respect when conversing with Daoist Fellow Qin Feng.

Even so, they felt somewhat uneasy, only daring to address him as Daoist Fellow for now, as with Qin Feng’s rate of growth, in a few years, they might only be able to look up to him.

“Ladies and gentlemen, no need for formalities.”

Qin Feng had a faint smile on his face, giving a slight bow in return as he signaled for everyone to take a seat. He then exchanged pleasantries with the cultivators alongside Qin Guanbao.

He didn’t stay long. Given his different status, it was not possible to develop close friendships with these people. Even if he wanted to make connections, by the time he became an immortal, these people would likely have been left far behind. It was better to let the old family head maintain relationships with them.

For him, it was only necessary to support the old family head at critical moments, enabling their family to gain more benefits in certain cooperations and thus progress more smoothly.

The reason why the heavenly pride of the cultivation world liked to make friends with peers of similar genius was that they did not want good relations to ultimately fade due to the passage of time, becoming distant as if separated by life and death, non-immortal cultivators ultimately having limited lifespans. Even if they cultivated to the Primordial Spirit Realm, they only had a few thousand years of life, fundamentally different from eternal immortals.

After a brief chat, noticing some restrained expressions among many cultivators, Qin Feng sighed inwardly, bid them farewell, and left the reception hall, leaving the old family master to continue dealing with the heads of the big families.

After leaving, Qin Feng did not return to the top of Luofeng Cliff but strolled around the mansion with his cousin, Qin Yang, greeting many cultivators along the way. Understanding Qin Feng’s identity, they greeted him excitedly and respectfully.

He deliberately showed himself in front of others, so he acted particularly approachable, his face always bearing a bright and cheerful smile, showing no disdain for the cultivators from smaller families, instead chatting amicably with everyone.

Especially the cultivators from smaller families originating from Tieling County felt a sense of kinship when Qin Feng mentioned some amusing incidents from Tieling County.

Finally, Qin Feng said, “I am seldom home, entrusting all family affairs entirely to the old family master and our kin. In the future, there will be many cooperation opportunities with everyone here. Should my Qin Family encounter any trouble, I might have to request your assistance.”

“I am originally a cultivator from a small family under the jurisdiction of Tieling County, so like everyone here, I am not an outsider; thus, please feel at ease.”

With these words, he immediately won the approval of many cultivators, and soon someone exclaimed, “Yes, Young Master Qin is a cultivator from our Tieling County. Since we all cultivate in the same county, we should support each other!”

Immediately, another cultivator said, “We cultivators of Chu Kingdom should be united. In the face of foreign enemies in the past, didn’t we also share a common hatred? Living in the same place, we should not see each other as different…”

“We all are under the Beast Taming Sect; it’s only right to help each other out, Qin… Brother is too polite.”

For a while, everyone was overjoyed by Qin Feng’s words and influenced by his approachable manner, feeling Qin Feng, despite his noble status, remained a cultivator born locally, making him feel closer.

However, their only issue was the awkwardness in addressing Qin Feng, unsure of how to properly refer to him.

Considering age and generation, Qin Feng was still young and was a younger generation disciple in the Beast Taming Sect. Many here had lived for several hundred years; originally, Qin Feng should be more respectful towards them.

But Qin Feng’s status was too high, his position was incomparable not to mention, his cultivation realm was profoundly powerful. It had already been mentioned by some leaving the parlor that Qin Feng had Dharma Image Cultivation, which had placed everyone else far behind, deterring any of them from acting presumptuously.

“Ha ha…”

Qin Feng chuckled, then pushed Qin Yang forward, “This is my cousin, Qin Yang. He is still young, having succeeded in core formation a few years ago, and will undoubtedly manage a big part of our family’s affairs in the future. He will be in frequent contact with everyone here. So, how about this, Qin Mansion is hosting a banquet today; let my cousin enjoy a good drink with everyone, what do you say?”

“Great…”

Naturally, no one would object. Building connections with the young generation of the Qin Family benefited them, and although Qin Yang was young, this exactly illustrated his great potential. Just as Qin Feng said, he would definitely become a pillar of the family, controlling vast authority. Now was the opportunity to build a good rapport and it would be too late when the Qin Family flourished even more in the future!

After a round of pleasant interactions within the compound, Qin Feng returned to the top of Luofeng Cliff.

There, an old figure was waiting for him.
