“Our Family was originally the main branch of the Qin Family?”
“That’s right. A hundred years ago, our Qin Family was indeed the main branch for several millennia…”
Qin Yuan left some words unsaid, but from his eyes, Qin Xuan could see Qin Yuan’s unwillingness.
Something must have happened a hundred years ago that caused them, as the main branch, to lose their rightful status.
“Then did our Family not try to reclaim the position of the main Family and return to the Capital?”
Qin Xuan quickly asked.
It went without saying that the resources in the Capital must be significantly more than those in Fire Wind City.
“Of course!”
Qin Yuan sighed.
“But once lost, it’s not so easy to reclaim. Over the past hundred years, many people have gone to the Capital to participate in challenges, but all of them failed.”
“More than ten years ago, not long after you were born, your father also went to the Capital, hoping to reclaim the main branch position through the Family Grand Competition held by the Qin Family every five years, but he still failed.”
Qin Yuan said, shaking his head and sighing.
“Not only that, when your father returned, he was severely injured, his Dantian was crippled, and he became a cripple. To cure your father, your mother took him and left the Qin Family, and they never returned.”
Just then, a somewhat angry voice came in.
Qin Yuan and Qin Xuan looked towards the doorway, only to see Third Elder Qin Yan walk in, suppressing his anger.
Dantian crippled, severely injured!
Qin Xuan looked at Third Elder Qin Yan in astonishment.
“Didn’t they say my father and mother went out to travel? Also, wasn’t he participating in a Family Grand Competition? How could he be severely injured and have his Dantian crippled?”
This was completely different from what he had heard before.
“Third Brother, I’ve long forgotten about these things. How could you tell Xuan’er…”
Qin Yuan complained, looking at Qin Yan.
“Big Brother, I remember clearly what they did. If they hadn’t crippled Tianyang, even if we hadn’t reclaimed the main branch position, we would have at least returned to the Capital.”
“As for Young Clan Leader…”
Qin Yan looked at Qin Xuan, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes.
“Young Clan Leader has grown up. He has the right to know these things. We can’t keep it from him any longer!”
Listening to Qin Yan’s words, Qin Yuan was momentarily speechless, then sighed helplessly.
“Third Grandfather, what exactly happened?”
Qin Xuan didn’t care about anything else at this moment; he just wanted to understand what had happened back then.
“Alright, I’ll tell you everything that happened back then!”
Subsequently, Qin Yan recounted everything that had happened back then to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan’s father, Qin Tianyang, was the number one Genius of the Firewind City Qin Family. At less than twenty-five years old, his cultivation had already entered the Earth Profound Realm.
Therefore, all the members of the Qin Family placed their hopes of reclaiming the main branch on him.
More than ten years ago, the Qin Family held a Clan meeting for the Family Grand Competition, and Qin Tianyang participated in this Clan meeting.
Initially, Qin Tianyang indeed swept through his opponents like a hot knife through butter, defeating more than a dozen branch families consecutively and successfully entering the top four.
But just when everyone thought Qin Tianyang would forcefully claim the championship as a dark horse, that person emerged.
Qin Ziyu, hailed as the number one Genius of the Qin Family’s main branch, became Qin Tianyang’s opponent.
He achieved Foundation Establishment at twelve, entered the Rookie Realm at fourteen, became a Profound Earth master at eighteen, and even stepped into the Tian Xuan Realm at twenty-four!
Three moves!
Qin Tianyang fought with all his might but only managed to withstand three moves from his opponent before his Dantian was severely injured.
What was even more humiliating for the Firewind City Qin Family was that, from beginning to end, this person only used one hand!
“You incompetent lot, do you really think you can reclaim the main branch status?”
“Today, I will cripple this so-called branch Family Genius of yours, to give you a good wake-up call, make you give up this idea sooner, and from now on, behave yourselves!”
After his Dantian and all his cultivation were crippled, Qin Xuan’s mother resolutely took Qin Tianyang and left Fire Wind City.
“I will definitely be able to cure him!”
Before leaving, his mother entrusted Qin Xuan to Qin Yuan, and then resolutely left with Qin Tianyang.
“Qin Ziyu!”
Qin Xuan enunciated the name word by word, as if he wanted to chew on it and then swallow it down.
“Xuan’er, they have been the main branch for a hundred years. This hundred years has been enough for them to use resources to strengthen themselves. If you don’t have absolute certainty, you must not act rashly.”
Qin Yuan said with some worry.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded heavily.
“Grandfather, don’t worry, I’m not an idiot, of course I won’t act rashly.”
Qin Xuan said, then calmly left the main hall and walked towards his room.
However, all along the way, he had clenched his fists.
Qin Ziyu!
He had remembered this name!
Returning to his room and closing the door, Qin Xuan tried his best to calm himself down.
More than ten years ago, the opponent had already reached the Tian Xuan Realm; his current cultivation would only be even more terrifying.
Although he carried hatred, he wouldn’t let hatred cloud his judgment!
Strength, he needed strength!
Only with powerful strength could he take revenge and reclaim the main branch position!
“Whew!”
Exhaling, Qin Xuan immediately entered that world.
“Thud!”
He tossed a few corpses into the Refining God Cauldron and waited calmly.
“These corpses were at the Yuqing Realm during their lives. If refined, it should be good.”
“Oh, and Spirit Stones!”
Qin Xuan patted his head, then took out a few qiankun rings and poured all the Spirit Stones inside into the Refining God Cauldron.
“It’s a pity there are too few Spirit Stones. It would be great if there were more.”
Qin Xuan was also a bit helpless.
His Spirit Stones on hand were indeed limited, and he could only do so much.
After a while, a drop of white Origin Spiritual Liquid and a few drops of Spiritual Liquid containing Spiritual Qi appeared before Qin Xuan’s eyes.
Without any hesitation, Qin Xuan directly absorbed all of this Origin Spiritual Liquid and Spiritual Liquid.
The Origin Spiritual Liquid rapidly transformed and enhanced Qin Xuan’s body.
Qin Xuan’s cultivation broke through again.
After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Qin Xuan clenched his fists.
Rookie Realm Triple Layer!
