When Qin Xuan returned home, everyone in the Qin Family came out to greet him.
The Qin Family knew everything that had happened with Qin Xuan at the Medicine Garden.
Furthermore, before Qin Xuan left, he had seen through the scheme of other families to lure the tiger away from the mountain. At this moment, the many Elders of the Qin Family were naturally overjoyed and genuinely admired Qin Xuan.
"Xuan'er, we heard from the Third Elder about what happened at the Medicine Garden. You've truly done a great service!"
Qin Yuan happily patted Qin Xuan's shoulder, a look of relief on his face.
Before, he had worried most about Qin Xuan, but now that Qin Xuan could stand on his own, he was naturally extremely excited.
"Oh, right, when did you learn Formation? How come none of us knew?"
Qin Yuan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"It was during those three years in the Tian Tomb. I happened to have a book on Formation with me, so I just learned a bit of the basics."
"Haha, basics? You learned a bit of the basics and managed to break the Du Family's Formation. How powerful will you be when you fully master Formation!"
Several Elders said with a laugh.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan's heart stirred.
"Speaking of the Du Family, what's their situation now?"
Hearing this, Qin Yuan snorted coldly, then as if realizing something was amiss, he shook his head.
"You wouldn't believe it, but in the past few days, some scoundrels actually wiped out the entire Du Family. Hundreds of people in the whole Family, not a single survivor was left."
"Even the eggs were scrambled!"
Hearing this, Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded in understanding.
The Du Family had truly offended someone to death this time.
First, they betrayed the Qin Family, and then they were alienated by Qin Xuan's scheme; it would have been hard for them not to die.
Qin Xuan, of course, would not have any pity for such traitors who bit the hand that fed them.
"It's a pity that my brother Du died young. I, Qin Yuan, will definitely avenge him!"
Qin Yuan said with a slight smile.
The moment the Du Family was annihilated, the Qin Family immediately declared their stance, vowing to avenge the Du Family.
"It seems those few families did it."
The ones who attacked the Du Family were none other than those few major families.
"Then what about the other families?"
Qin Xuan said, making a throat-slitting gesture.
Hearing this, Qin Yuan shook his head slightly.
"No rush. To prevent them from jumping the gun, I've temporarily stabilized them this time. But since they dared to lay hands on our Qin Family, they will have to pay the price!"
Qin Yuan already had a plan; he would slowly eliminate them one by one, getting rid of all the families in Fire Wind City that could threaten the Qin Family.
Qin Xuan nodded and said a few more words. Seeing Qin Xuan's travel-worn appearance, Qin Yuan felt a little heartache.
"Xuan'er, you've worked hard these past few days. Go back and rest first. With Grandpa here, those demons and monsters won't be able to stir up any trouble."
Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded and returned to his courtyard.
After a simple wash, Qin Xuan stayed in his room, refining Medicinal Pills while Cultivating.
Just like that, a night passed. Qin Xuan refined a dozen second-grade Medicinal Pills and also prepared hundreds of first-grade Medicinal Pills.
With these Medicinal Pills, the Qin Family would not lack Medicinal Pills in the coming days.
However, Qin Xuan also planned to find a Qin Family apprentice as soon as possible so that when he left Fire Wind City, the apprentice could refine Medicinal Pills.
After all, he wouldn't stay in Fire Wind City forever.
The selection for the Azure Green Sect was approaching. After he passed the Azure Green Sect's preliminary selection in Fire Wind City, he would head to Profound Dragon City to participate in the Azure Green Sect's initial selection.
The next day, after handing over the Medicinal Pills to the Medicine Refining Workshop, Qin Xuan began a life of Cultivating and continuously improving his cultivation.
However, this routine only lasted a few days before an explosive piece of news spread throughout Fire Wind City.
"The Daozi of Shinto Sect and the Saintess will be arriving in Fire Wind City! At that time, people from all major families must attend a banquet to welcome them!"
Shindao Sect, this was a Sect even more terrifying than the Azure Green Sect.
If the Azure Green Sect was the top Sect in Profound Dragon Dao, then the Shindao Sect was among the top three Sects in the entire Great Gan!
And now, the Daozi and Saintess of such a terrifying Sect would actually be arriving in Fire Wind City. This could be said to be the greatest event in Fire Wind City since the founding of Great Gan thousands of years ago!
"This time, the City Lord is in charge of welcoming the Daozi and Saintess?"
Qin Yuan opened the City Lord's Mansion's invitation and frowned slightly.
"Naturally. Although the City Lord is a distant branch of the imperial Family, he is still of the imperial Family, so it's natural for them to host. However, this might not necessarily be beneficial for our Family."
Qin Yan said from the side.
Qin Xuan also nodded.
The Shindao Sect was a major Sect of Great Gan. If one could establish a connection with such a Sect, it would be of immense help to these people.
Clearly, this City Lord Yuan Hao thought the same. This widespread invitation was also meant to establish his authority over the Qin Family.
"It's a bit strange. Normally, why would the Daozi and Saintess come here? Shouldn't they be heading to Profound Dragon City?"
Profound Dragon City was the largest city in Profound Dragon Dao, and all the talents from the entire Profound Dragon Dao would eventually go there.
Now, the Daozi and Saintess of the Shindao Sect had actually come to Fire Wind City, which seemed a bit odd no matter how one looked at it.
"We're not sure about the specific situation, but we heard it might have something to do with the Zhao Family."
At this, Qin Xuan's brows immediately furrowed.
Related to the Zhao Family?
Hearing this, Qin Xuan's expression became serious.
This matter seemed somewhat strange no matter how he looked at it.
"You also think there's something wrong with this, don't you?"
Qin Yuan handed the invitation to Qin Xuan.
On the invitation, besides Qin Yuan, there was also Qin Xuan's name.
"Could it be that Yuan Hao wants to use this opportunity to call us over and kill us? That shouldn't be the case, should it?"
Qin Yuan frowned.
"Not necessarily. What kind of people are the Daozi and Saintess of the Shindao Sect? Yuan Hao is just a collateral branch of the imperial Family. As long as he hasn't gone mad, he wouldn't dare to act."
"Forget it, we'll see on the day of the banquet. We'll prepare in advance."
One should not harbor malicious intentions, but one must be wary of others.
Regardless, Qin Xuan believed that preparations should be made in advance, otherwise, one might be sold out without knowing when.
Since it was unclear, it was better to make some preparations beforehand.
Returning to his room, Qin Xuan began to Cultivate while also preparing some Medicinal Pills.
Since the guests at this banquet were of noble status, the possibility of armed conflict was low, but there was a possibility of poisoning.
Since they were going to someone else's territory, it was better to be careful about such matters.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan prepared some antidote Medicinal Pills in advance.
Five days later, Qin Xuan slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
In these few days, Qin Xuan had finally raised his cultivation to Rookie Realm eight-fold.
Although Qin Xuan really wanted to continue Cultivating, the Daozi of Shinto Sect and the Saintess, whom everyone wanted to meet, had already arrived in Fire Wind City.
After changing his clothes, Qin Xuan came to the front hall.
"Let's go. If we're late, I'm afraid Yuan Hao will use it to make trouble."
Qin Yuan said, and Qin Xuan nodded.
"Clan Chief, after you go, I will have the Family members guard nearby. Once there's any unusual movement from the City Lord's Mansion, we'll go immediately!"
Qin Yan said nervously.
In his opinion, this matter seemed somewhat strange no matter how he looked at it.
"Don't be nervous. Today we're just going to a banquet. They wouldn't go so far as to attack us in front of so many people."
"Besides, this time we're not going to the City Lord's Mansion, but to the Li Family."
Qin Xuan shook his head with a smile.
After the Daozi of Shinto Sect and the Saintess arrived here, the Li Family proactively suggested to Yuan Hao that the banquet be held at the Li Family.
They would also perform beast fighting for these two distinguished guests of the Shindao Sect at the banquet.
For this, they even brought out their best hidden treasures, saying they wanted everyone to broaden their horizons.
The Li Family's actions were clearly too eager to please.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems this time!"
At least, there wouldn't be any problems on the surface.
Hearing this, Qin Yan finally relaxed.
