C35 Two Martial Meetings

"Elder He, how is my father?"

Qin Yuan and the others were waiting anxiously outside the room. When they saw the door open, they all surrounded him.

After he lost his hand, he worked day and night to delay Qin Wangchuan's poison attack. In these two months, he seemed to have aged ten years. His withered face looked even more haggard.

Resisting his fatigue with laughter, He Shaotian said, "Fortunately, the Patriarch has cleared seventy to eighty percent of the poison, so the remaining poison is no longer a threat. As long as you take the medicine this old man prescribed every day, you'll be completely cured within a month."

"Mr. He, I will never forget the grace of saving my life!" Qin Yuan's mother, Jin Shuang, bowed and thanked him. A rare smile appeared on her face, but the corners of her eyes were still moist as she cried tears of joy.

He Shaodang quickly waved his hand and stepped aside to let Jin Shuang bow. "I can't accept this! Madam, Young Master Qin Yuan has helped me out. If it wasn't for Young Master, I'm afraid that I would have already been drunk to death in a certain corner of the street. Moreover, the one who really saved the Patriarch was Young Master Qin Yuan. Without the Fire Poison Scorpion's Tail Alligator's heart, I wouldn't be able to do anything to the Heart Shattering Powder's poison. "

"Alright, alright, Old He doesn't have to be too modest." Qin Yuan was finally relieved of the worry in his heart. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "During the time I'm gone, everyone must have done a great job."

He Shaodang stroked his beard and said, "Hehe, the Patriarch should be awake by now, but we shouldn't let too many people go in and disturb us." Young Master, follow me in. Since we haven't seen each other for two months, the Patriarch probably has a lot of things he wants to say to you. "

Stepping into the room, Qin Yuan walked in alone. With a glance, he saw his father lying on the bed, looking at him with a smile.

"Father." Qin Yuan pressed him down before Qin Wanchuan could force himself up and said: "Father, don't force yourself. The antidote has not been cure for long, and my body still needs more rest."

Qin Wang Chuan laughed. It seemed that he was much better than two months ago. After he got out of bed, he looked at Qin Yuan with satisfaction. Thinking about the hardships his youngest son had endured all these years, he couldn't help but sigh. "Yuan'er, it's been hard on you these years."

Qin Yuan shook his head and comforted her, "It's nothing, everything is over now. In the future, our Qin family will gradually get better. "

"That's right, how is the match between you and Qin Jue?"

Although Qin Yuan did not appear to be injured, Qin Wang Chuan still did not believe that Qin Yuan could grow to the point where he could defeat Qin Jue in just three short months.

"He's dead." Qin Yuan kept his cool and said something that surprised Qin Wenchuan, "He was killed by me."

Qin Wangchuan was both surprised and happy when he told Qin Wushuang about his experiences in the martial arts world. He had once thought that both his eldest and second sons were outstanding, yet they had been envied to death by the heavens. Although Qin Yuan had been safe and sound all along, he was a person of absolutely no bloodline who could change the general situation of the family.

Now it would seem that not only was Qin Yuan's talent not the slightest bit weaker than his two elder brothers, his wits and scheming had even surpassed them.

"It's a pity that we couldn't catch the two old foxes, Qin Founyi and Qin Xian." Qin Yuan opened his mouth to interrupt Qin Wanchuan's train of thought: "I'm worried that they will make more big movements in the future."

Qin Wangchuan nodded in agreement: "That's right, we cannot let down our guard against this father and son, but once Qin Jue died, their original plan had already been completely disrupted. Let's not talk about them. Yuan Er, do you know of the Qin and Qi Family's Martial Competition that occurs every five years? "

"Two Martial Meetings?" Qin Yuan was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of this.

Because Qin Yuan had a blocked meridian constitution, after he was six years old, he spent most of his time trying to change the fate of not being able to cultivate in the Martial Dao. After that, he was sent to the World Alchemy Pavilion by the Elders Guild.

"This year will be another five years. Since you have become the champion of the Family Martial Meeting, you should represent the Qin Family in the Martial Meeting between the two families. " Qin Wang Chuan continued.

The Qin Clan and Qi Clan were the two great clans of the Chu Shi City. Other than the Han Clan that was short-lived, there was no other force that could contend against them. The other small and large powers in Chu Shi City were all subordinate to one of them.

But as far as Qin Yuan knew, the two families shared similar interests. For many years, some people had died at the hands of the other family. There was no room for compromise between the two families' enmity.

"Father, I can't figure it out. Why would we have a war with the Qi family?" Qin Yuan asked.

Qin Wangchuan explained: "The ancestors of our Qin Clan and the Qi Clan were originally allies who went through thick and thin together. Unfortunately, the word "benefits" is enough to ruin many seemingly solid relationships. "

"Was it an industry dispute?" Qin Yuan asked.

"No." Qin Wangchuan shook his head and began to recount the events that he only heard from his elders: "About two hundred years ago, the Qin family and the Qi family discovered a pool, a pool that could rejuvenate a person. The two families named it the 'Essence Tempering Pool'. As long as a person had been immersed in it, not only would their physique be as strong as that of a magical beast, but they would also be able to break through the bottleneck in their cultivation. Unfortunately, the spirit spring water produced by the Essence Tempering Pool every five years was only enough for one person to soak in. How were the two families going to split up? It was unknown who made the first move, but after the battle between the two families, more than half of them died, and from then on, enmity was formed. After that, the two families fought in the open and fought in the dark, but neither of them really managed to win. "

Qin Yuan roughly understood the purpose of the two Martial Meetings. "So, the two families could only agree that every five years, each clan would send out their own juniors to decide on the users of the Essence Tempering Pool through the use of the Martial Meetings?"

"You guessed right." Qin Wangchuan sighed, his expression looked a little sad: "The secret of the Essence Tempering Pool, both families only let the core members of the family know about it, to prevent it from being leaked out. For the past few decades, our Qin family has not won a single one of the two Martial Meetings. Including me and your dead brother. With the help of the Essence Tempering Pool, the strength of the Qi family increases year by year, but our Qin family is constantly losing strength. "If this goes on, the Qin family will eventually fall at the hands of the Qi family."

Qin Yuan was slightly surprised. All along, his understanding of the two families' strengths were not on par with each other. He had not expected that the Qi family had already begun to surpass the Qin family.

"Even big brother failed?"

"Five years ago, your big brother was only fourteen years old. Although he was already a six star warrior and the Qin family is the strongest in the younger generation, the people sent by the Qi family have already reached the age of eighteen and their cultivation has reached the level of a Seven Star Warrior." Your elder brother used all his strength, but still lost by half a move in the end. "I had originally hoped that your second brother would win a victory for the Qin family, but …"

"I'll never forget that after your big brother failed, I smiled and told your second brother that five years later, I'll leave it to him …"

Qin Yuan was speechless. He could imagine how grief and indignation his elder brother must have felt back then. Fourteen years old, a Six Star Warrior against a Seven Star Warrior who was four years older, he still lost in one move. Even if he hadn't died because of Qin Jue's scheme, because of his age, he wouldn't be able to represent the Qin Clan in battle after five years.

Second brother's aptitude was not any worse than Eldest brother's. Originally, he was going to take the place of Eldest brother and win the battle, but he also did not have the chance.

"I will definitely take care of big brother's regret!" Qin Yuan secretly clenched his fists and swore to himself.

On the other side, in another big family of Chu, the Qi family.

"Patriarch, the little miss is back!"

Qi Meng, who was leafing through the account books, looked up and saw a young girl in blue robes singing as she crossed the threshold. With a big smile on her face, she shouted, "Dad, I'm back!"

Qi Meng scolded him with a stern face, "Crazy girl, you still know how to come back?"

The blue clothed girl ran behind Qi Meng and beat him on the back, "Hehe, dad, don't be angry. I just went out to relax and came back unharmed."

"Qi Qi!" Although Qi Meng's words were harsh, his eyebrows were relaxed, he was not angry at all, "How old are you? You don't even look like a lady from a noble family, who would want you in the future?"

Qi Qi Qi's eyes finished looking at the crescent moon and the image of a handsome young man appeared in her mind. She thought to herself, "There will be people.
