The Dragon Blood Mine is located on the outskirts near the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Due to the presence of the Dragon Blood Ore Vein and the Dragon Blood Spirit Vein beneath it, it caught the attention of the Mortal World Quarter, a force backed by a Golden Core Realm master, which is why it became Qin Liang’s station previously."
Zheng Yi nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.
The Immortal Seed Steward returned to his original position to continue weighing.
Zheng Yi went back to the Corridor Attic, where many thatched and wooden houses had already been built, constructed with materials brought back from Celestial South Market and the Wang Family.
Although the Zheng Family is currently small in influence and doesn’t need to compare with the Wang Family in every aspect, the necessary facilities must not be lacking, and it cannot be much poorer than the Wang Family’s Immortal Seed Residence.
Zheng Yi found a place for his own Cultivation Area.
He stepped inside.
With the activation of the Spirit Gathering Array.
He entered once again, sat down steadily, and began the circulation of the Nine Yin Returning Yang Technique.
The various types of Innate Spiritual Qi transformed by the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror within Zheng Yi, along with the Yin Yang Spiritual Qi produced, were hovering above his Dantian at the moment.
Zheng Yi’s eyes focused, holding his breath.
As the cultivation technique circulated.
All these Innate Spiritual Qi, Yin Qi, and Yang Qi were fully refined into his body.
A gentle spiritual light glowed around him, and the Spiritual Qi surrounded the entire Cultivation Area like a flowing stream as he cultivated.
Although the Zheng Family had arranged for protectors to guard outside, if an unexpected guest entered this Cultivation Area and had not reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, they would likely be instantly suppressed by this powerful Spiritual Pressure.
At worst, their meridians would shatter; at best, they could face a life-threatening situation.
After several Grand Circulations, a moment in the mountains felt like a thousand years in the world.
Zheng Yi felt as if in an instant, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside.
Noticing someone approaching, Zheng Yi stepped forward.
At the door, it was Bai Ling’er and Bai Mosheng, the siblings.
They had brought dinner for Zheng Yi.
This dinner was crafted from the demon beasts hunted by the Zheng Family’s hunting party, making it a delicacy.
"Greetings, Master of the Family!"
Bai Mosheng had an expression of respect, showing not a hint of negligence due to his relationship with Zheng Yi.
Beside him, Bai Ling’er.
Having experienced many things, now at the Zheng Family, she understood Zheng Yi’s noble status, her previous youthful arrogance had vanished, replaced by a much more composed demeanor.
She also followed with, "Greetings, Master of the Family!"
Zheng Yi nodded gently, took the dinner, and set it aside.
After finishing the meal, Zheng Yi glanced at the two of them.
Seeing that they hadn’t left yet, he smiled and asked, "Bai Mosheng, is there something you want?"
Zheng Yi’s call caused Bai Mosheng’s tense state to dissipate instantly.
"Greetings, Master Immortal!"
Without hesitation, Bai Mosheng softened and knelt directly, "I ask Master Immortal for guidance."
While speaking.
He tugged his sister’s sleeve.
Bai Ling’er, dressed in white, also willingly knelt down.
In the Cultivation Realm, it is not disgraceful at all for Qi Refining cultivators to kneel before a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"Only guidance?"
Zheng Yi showed a pensive look...
Bai Mosheng had a wry smile on his lips as he said, "Previously, when you became the head of the Zheng Family, as juniors, we did not dare have excessive desires, just need some guidance on how to act in the future."
Zheng Yi listened with a satisfied nod.
He stood and walked to Bai Mosheng and his sister.
The spiritual power circulated through their bodies, giving him a rough understanding of the two siblings’ conditions.
"One of you practices the Celestial Cloud Technique, and the other practices the Cyan Wood Technique.
As for talent.
Even with my Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, I can only know a little.
However, the Zheng Family indeed has a task that requires you two, and you are indeed suitable candidates."
"Please show us, senior, we will do our utmost."
Bai Mosheng clasped his fists and spoke loudly, displaying loyalty in his words.
"Responsible for liaising with mundane forces.
Additionally, the Zheng family currently has a thin populace.
In half a year, it will be time for the Qingyun Sect’s disciple selection; then, you two will lead the team to bring back more qualified Immortal Seeds for the Zheng Family. What do you think?"
Zheng Yi spoke slowly, indeed assigning a significant task.
"Thank you, Master of the Family!"
At this moment, Bai Mosheng reverted to addressing Zheng Yi as the family head.
They, Bai Mosheng and Bai Ling’er, left satisfied.
Zheng Yi watched Bai Ling’er’s departing figure, shaking his head and laughing.
Back when he was in the Wang Family.
He had not yet broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, nor even to the late-stage Qi Refining, at that time Bai Ling’er had a chance to become his wife, after all, she had a Mid-grade Spirit Root.
For the Zheng Yi of those days, to have such a spirit root in a wife was indeed precious.
But now, Zheng Yi can easily acquire Top-grade Spirit Roots, and it can only be said that the missed opportunities, once gone, are hard to come by again, truly, it is fate and destiny.
...
Bai Mosheng and Bai Ling’er came to the Dragon Blood Mine’s Skill Transmission Hall and finally learned the importance of the task assigned by Zheng Yi.
Every month, there’s actually a reward of twenty Low-grade Spirit Stones.
And Spirit Pills.
A hint of astonishment flashed in Bai Ling’er’s eyes as she subconsciously exclaimed.
As a brother, Bai Mosheng’s body trembled slightly, his expression became solemn.
"Still owe the senior a favor."
But soon.
His eyes turned resolute, "It’s time to go back to the manor once."
Bai Mosheng spoke softly.
Beside him, his sister Bai Ling’er was filled with some courage upon hearing this.
In the Cultivation Realm.
Whether it’s Celestial South Market, Piaomiao Mountain Wang Family, or nowadays the Dragon Blood Mine Zheng Family.
They, the siblings, are nothing more than ordinary Qi Refining cultivators.
But if they return to the mundane world, they would be high and noble Immortals.
Furthermore, brother Bai Mosheng has now advanced to the fourth layer of Qi Refining, with a family backed by Foundation Establishment cultivators, surpassing even the Immortals over a county or even a province in the mundane Great Yan Dynasty.
"Are we going home?"
Bai Ling’er’s heart was stirred, and she asked.
Bai Mosheng nodded with satisfaction, "It’s been almost three or four years since leaving the manor, counting the time, it’s indeed time to go back."
Bai Mosheng smiled softly.
A hint of reminiscing flashed in Bai Ling’er’s eyes.
Recalling the past.
Their departure from Nameless Manor seemed like it was just yesterday, yet it felt like a lifetime ago.
The two of them packed their bags that night.
The next day, after notifying Wang Xing from the Skill Transmission Hall, they departed.
Wang Xing responded with an acknowledgment.
After all, this was a task arranged by the family.
Nowadays, Wang Xing has become the Spirit Plant Master of the Zheng Family, and although he is not an Elder at the Skill Transmission Hall, he has a significant position.
The goals he couldn’t achieve at Piaomiao Mountain Wang Family were easily achieved at the Zheng Family.
Bai Mosheng and Bai Ling’er sped forward following the map issued by the family, heading in the opposite direction of the Dragon Blood Mine and the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
If they were to rashly enter the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, their Qi Refining cultivation would surely meet a disastrous end.
After a few days of travel.
They arrived at the Nameless Manor in Qingshui County of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The place was bustling and teeming with life; in front of the manor’s grand entrance, numerous martial world experts came to pay their respects.
Along the way.
They heard about the development and expansion of Nameless Manor in Qingshui County over the past few years.
"The status of an Immortal Family is indeed extraordinary."
Bai Ling’er steadied herself and spoke softly.
Bai Mosheng instead smiled and took a big step forward.
Pushing the door open and stepping in.
Entering the manor, the current Manor Master of Nameless Manor came into view.
Though it has changed to a different branch, they are still from the Bai Family; in terms of the Bai Family’s seniority, they are the younger generation to him and his sister Bai Ling’er, not born of blood, but still considered relatives.
They casually found a place to sit opposite each other.
At this time, several martial world heroes nearby were conversing.
"Nameless Manor, that sure is a great support in our Qingshui County, commanding both the underworld and the worldly.
Today, the Manor Master of Nameless Manor Master Qilin has welcomed a new son, and we all are happy."
"Indeed, a few days ago, even the Governor of Qingshui County came of his own accord, showing the grandeur of Nameless Manor."
"Hahaha, Nameless Manor has birthed two immortal nobles, they are the legendary Immortals."
"Ordinary people can’t compare."
Under everyone’s gaze!
The Manor Master of Nameless Manor came out step by step under the crowd’s esteem, followed by a middle-aged noblewoman.
