"Patriarch, when Master was exchanging for the inductive fruit, there were still a few other cultivators who were thinking of doing the same, but Master paid a high price, so those few people had no choice but to give up. As for Young Master Zhao Yan, Master had already instructed the Yan Family Caravan to escort him back to Liucheng, and before I bring him back, Young Master Zhao Yan would have already set off on his journey. I believe that in a few days, Zhao Yan will definitely return to Liucheng safely!" Glancing at Zhao Nantian in front of him, Qi Yun carefully replied.
"This move of Jiang Er's, should be called the secret cultivation path of Chen Cang!" Zhao Nantian's face instantly darkened.
"Zhao Yan is his blood brother, Jiang Er actually took him as a pawn, this child is good in everything, just that he is too ruthless, I hope that Zhao Yan can return to Liucheng safely!" After a long period of uncertainty, Zhao Nantian's expression finally eased up a little.
Although Zhao Yan was the same as Zhao Jiang, and was also his son, Zhao Yan did not possess any talent for cultivation. In Zhao Nantian's eyes, Zhao Yan's position was far, far inferior to Zhao Jiang's.
For the clan to rise again, there must always be people who sacrificed themselves. Master once said, whoever becomes great, must not be merciful, Master must spend such a huge price to obtain the inductive fruit s, if it was stolen midway due to carelessness, then the gains will not make up for the losses. If the inductive fruit s could really cause the Zhao Clan to gain another cultivator, no matter how large the price, it would definitely be worth it! Seeing that Zhao Nantian's expression had eased up, Qi Yun continued to speak.
Once Zhao Yan was brought up, he was truly worried that Zhao Nantian would attack him without saying a word. If such a situation really did happen, Qi Yun would not be able to retaliate, and neither would he be able to.
Zhao Nantian was the master of the Zhao Family, a person with extraordinary intelligence. Qi Yun had never thought that he could hide his schemes from Zhao Nantian.
"No one cares about small matters. Everyone knows how to say that, but how many people can actually do it?!" Zhao Nantian sighed deeply, his face was filled with bitterness.
"Since there are already many people scheming against the inductive fruit, leaving this item in your hands is really a little hot, quickly give it to Zhao Hai to consume, it should be the best choice!" Zhao Nantian thought.
With furrowed brows, Zhao Nantian paced around the study room with his hands behind his back. Finally, he seemed to have made a decision in his heart, and reached the entrance of the study room within a few steps. He opened the door and walked out.
As the head of the Zhao Family, there was never a lack of servants by Zhao Nantian's side. Outside the study room, there were two Zhao Family disciples dressed as guards.
"Zhao Si, is Zhao Hai in the manor? If he is, quickly inform him to come to the study to meet me!" To the two guards outside the study, Zhao Nantian shouted.
Young master Zhao Hai is indeed within the mansion, but an hour ago, a senior came looking for you, saying that he has taken a fancy to Young Master Zhao Hai's talent and wants to take him in. At this time, Young Master Zhao Hai should be with this senior! One of the guards quickly replied. From the looks of it, the guard should be the Zhao Si that Zhao Nantian mentioned.
"Is there such a thing? Why didn't anyone tell me about this in time? " Zhao Nantian frowned, and said unhappily.
Clan Master, you have previously instructed me, when you were practicing, if there was nothing particularly important that I could not disturb you, then that senior would come looking for you after hearing that Young Master Zhao Hai had spirit roots. As for whether or not I should take you in, I will have to wait for him to first meet Young Master Zhao Hai. Zhao Nantian's questioning instantly caused this guard Zhao Si's forehead to be drenched in cold sweat. His entire body shivered as he hurriedly explained to Zhao Nantian.
"Which sect does that senior belong to?" How strong is he? " Snorting coldly, Zhao Nantian looked straight at the guard in front of him and continued to ask.
"That senior didn't say that he came from any sect, but his strength is extremely tyrannical. According to the person who witnessed this senior display his strength, that senior could freeze an entire region with a wave of his hand. Even a martial artist at the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering wouldn't be able to withstand the cold in this land!" Zhao Si's face was covered in cold sweat as he quickly replied.
"Qi Yun, what do you think about this matter? Do you think that the Taoist who came looking for us was one of those people who wanted to take note of our inductive fruit? " With a gloomy face, Zhao Nantian turned around and asked Qi Yun who was behind him.
"Patriarch, the inductive fruit is a pretty good treasure, but it is useless for normal cultivation, only those close friends and relatives who have spiritual roots but are still unable to practice Qi and are unable to, they have a huge need for the inductive fruit. Previously, the people who had thoughts about the inductive fruit were all dragged by Master to Chang Zhou, but the cultivation that appeared in my Zhao Family Mansion, should not have much to do with the inductive fruit!" Qi Yun pondered for a moment, laughed, and said slowly.
"Jiang Er had just sent someone to send back the inductive fruit, but Hai'er already had a cultivation on the side that wanted to take it into her sect. Everyone said that good things happened in pairs, could it be that she agreed with that logic today?! No wonder the magpie outside the window kept chirping non-stop when she stood up this morning!" Zhao Nantian's tensed expression from before, instantly relaxed.
"Since Hai'er is with that senior from the Dao Gate, it might be a bit inappropriate for me to call on him now. I'll go see them myself!" Zhao Nantian beamed as he called out to Qi Yun who was behind him, and walked towards the inner courtyard with large strides.
Liucheng's Zhao manor, on an open lawn in the inner courtyard.
Qian Xun lazily sat on a sandalwood chair. The wooden table beside him was filled with fresh fruit and pastries, and fine wine and fine wine.
This piece of lawn in the inner court was originally used for the Zhao Family's children to play or practice martial arts. These things like wooden tables and chairs definitely did not exist before.
It was because of the arrival of this' senior ', Qian Xun, that he was able to create such a scene in order to gain Qian Xun's goodwill. If not for the fear of causing Qian Xun to feel disgusted, Zhao Hai might have even arranged for a few beautiful servants for him.
On the grass in front of Qian Xun, many of the young disciples of the Zhao Family were practicing their martial arts. Although these people did not have spirit roots, and could not become true Dao cultivators, if they could perform well and be accepted as wujie by Qian Xun, then it might be a good opportunity for the disciples of the Zhao Family.
In this world where the sect was respected, there were only a few martial artists who could truly stand up against the sect's power. Most martial artists had already given in to the sect's power.
"Senior, what is the grade of my spirit root?" You have already understood that this is the trash spirit root that most cultivators regard as useless. I wonder if senior will still decide to take me in? " Beside Qian Xun, a youth around fourteen to fifteen years old with red lips and white teeth, who was extremely handsome, respectfully poured a cup of wine for Qian Xun and asked as he probed.
The young man was Zhao Hai. A few years ago, when Zhao Hai found out that he had spirit roots, but was rejected by all the other sects, this kind of thing would definitely be considered a huge blow to anyone. However, not only did Zhao Hai not give up, he continued to meditate and cultivate everyday.
After several years of bitter cultivation, Zhao Hai was still unable to sense the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, and was unable to draw the Qi into his body to truly become a Dao Cultivator. However, Zhao Hai had never thought of giving up, and instead, his mind became more determined.
Because Zhao Hai had yet to reach the Qi Cultivating Stage, even his childhood fiancee, Qin Lan, had barged into the Liucheng's Zhao Family without hesitation and forcefully annulled his engagement with Zhao Hai.
On the day of the rescission of the marriage, Zhao Hai was instead incomparably calm. He had only said the words "thirty years in the east and west of thirty years in the river, don't look down on the young and poor".
"Zhao Hai, for us Dao cultivators, although spiritual roots are essential, but his level does not represent a cultivator's future achievements. Honestly speaking, his spirit root is only the stepping stone for Dao cultivators, of course, with his high grade spiritual roots, his cultivation speed will definitely increase a little, but that is only the difference in talent, luck, perseverance, if you are strong enough in these two aspects, you can definitely make up for your lack in talent!" Qian Xun shook his head and said something that seemed to make sense.
In the Dao Gate, among all the renowned major powers, Qian Xun only knew of one example, which was the Great Emperor Ying Lu, who had dominated the world tens of thousands of years ago. His origins were strange, but after he succeeded, he suddenly disappeared.
A person with insufficient talent would need to put in ten times the effort of an ordinary person in order to have that tiny possibility of success. How could it be easy for a useless person to make a comeback?
These few words that Qian Xun had casually said had caused Zhao Hai to be overjoyed. "Senior, does this mean that you're really willing to accept me into the sect?"
"Zhao Hai, regarding the matter of accepting you as my disciple, I have no objections at all. But in my opinion, you and I should first meet your father, Zhao Nantian, and obtain his acknowledgement before deciding anything. If your father thinks that the small clan of the Golden Thread Sect that I am part of is not willing for you to join my sect, then wouldn't my efforts be in vain!" Qian Xun smiled as he nodded, and said slowly.
"Senior, don't worry. If my father knew that Senior's Golden Thread Sect was willing to take me in, he wouldn't even have the time to be happy. How could he possibly oppose that!?" Zhao Hai patted his chest, and said with confidence.
Zhao Hai's knowledge of the Dao was limited, he only knew of one Qing Huazong. Qing Huazong was not only the closest to the Liucheng, it was also the sect where Big Brother Zhao Hai resided.
Even Qing Huazong, who knew about it, was also just at the lowest level of Grade Nine Dao Gate. Zhao Hai thought that even if the Golden Thread Sect that Qian Xun mentioned was at a lower level, could it possibly be an unranked sect?
How could Zhao Hai be clear about that? What Golden Thread Sect? That was purely Qian Xun's fabrication, to trick Zhao Hai. It was nothing more than a fake Dao Gate.
"Zhao Hai, you don't even want to tell your father about such a huge matter like joining a sect. Do you know that what you have just said is called disloyalty, unfilial filial piety, injustice, and righteousness? Our Golden Thread Sect does not care about talent, but only about character. If you are truly an unfilial, unfilial, ungrateful, and unrighteous person, and you are accepted into our sect, it seems that I have to consider more! " Qian Xun seemed to have gotten addicted to acting, now his face darkened as he snorted at Zhao Hai in dissatisfaction.
