Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 400 - 397: Two Golden Cores in One Day, Uncle and Nephew Advance Together

Chapter 400 -397: Two Golden Cores in One Day, Uncle and Nephew Advance Together

“You’re going to help me subdue this Demon Beast?”

Jiang Han was furious in his heart.

He had never seen such a shameless person!

The Swallowing Sky Toad was clearly Qin Feng’s own Spiritual Beast. Now, when he had reached his limit and was ready to severely injure the massive toad after killing his men, Qin Feng suddenly intervened, not only stopping him from slaying the Swallowing Sky Toad but also having the audacity to claim he was helping him?

“That’s right, my Beast Taming Sect is one of the controllers of the Tieling County Market. Since a Demon Beast has injured people within the market, we can’t simply turn a blind eye, no matter what.”

“Why didn’t you help earlier?”

“Earlier, I thought that the Daoist Fellows from Taiyi Mountain were highly skilled and outnumbered the beast, thinking they would surely be able to subdue it. But I overestimated you folks. Not only have you failed to kill the Demon Beast, but it also killed two of your men, and even Elder Jiang was forced to use a Secret Technique, pushing his potential to combat the beast.”

Qin Feng said unhurriedly, “Since you lack the ability to subdue it, to prevent further casualties, and to stop Elder Jiang from exhausting his potential and possibly dying on the spot, I just had to step in to help.

Although I don’t care about your survival, the rules of the market must still be respected. We can’t let a Demon Beast rampage freely, can we?”

“Out of my way!”

Jiang Han shouted angrily, “I don’t need your help, I can deal with it myself.”

“Really? Are you sure?”

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, “Under my Divine Thought, it seems like this Swallowing Sky Toad has several companions nearby. Are you sure you don’t need my help dealing with so many Demon Beasts?”

Jiang Han’s expression changed, “Are you threatening me?”

“Threatening you? You think you’re worth it?”

Qin Feng looked down on him, “Jiang Han, where did you get the courage to speak to me like this? You think just because you’ve used a Secret Technique that you’re strong enough to compete with me?”

His words contained a hint of anger, and at the same time, the White Dragon in the sky suddenly let out a loud roar, the sound echoing for miles and its majestic Dragon Power pressing down, causing everyone’s spirits to tremble.

Jiang Han snapped back to reality.

That’s right, he should be focusing on saving his life now. The use of the Secret Technique was not to kill the Swallowing Sky Toad but to secure a chance to live; he must not let the momentary surge of power inflate his confidence.

If he dared to contradict Qin Feng again, this guy might actually release a few Spiritual Beasts to gang up on him, and once the effect of the Secret Technique wore off, he would surely die!

Thinking this, Jiang Han immediately sheathed his sword and retreated, standing in front of the other Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators, warily watching Qin Feng.

Qin Feng pretentiously unleashed a burst of energy, pointing his Long Spear at the Swallowing Sky Toad, and cried out, “Audacious Demon Beast, daring to rampage in the market in broad daylight, I now give you a chance to atone for your actions. Serve me for a thousand years, and I will pardon you this time.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Swallowing Sky Toad immediately hopped over, lowering its head in front of him, showing a submissive gesture.

“Take!”

With a pull of absorption force from Qin Feng’s hand, the Swallowing Sky Toad immediately shrank in size, jumping into his hand and turning into a fist-sized, jade-like, exquisitely beautiful Little Toad.

Jiang Han was so angry that steam blew out of his nostrils, smashing the bluestone slabs on the ground to pieces.

He cursed inwardly like mad; could this guy make it any more obvious?

Have you ever seen a wild Demon Beast so obedient, bowing at the sight of someone? Do you really think you are a Great Demon King from the Immortal Realm, emitting a regal aura that makes the lesser demons submit directly?

Unfortunately, although the surrounding Cultivators all knew full well that Qin Feng was doing this on purpose, not a single one exposed him. Instead, some Cultivators affiliated with the Beast Taming Sect praised loudly, “Daoist Fellow Qin is truly a True Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. He showed up and terrified the Demon Beast into submission. We are in awe!”

“That’s right, it’s fortunate Daoist Fellow Qin was here. Otherwise, if the battle continued, this street might have been reduced to ruins due to their intense fighting.”

“Please, please, everyone be courteous!”

Qin Feng smiled cordially, bowing slightly to the crowd, “Our Beast Taming Sect always abides by the rules, and we certainly do not allow anyone to break the rules in the market, just like a few days ago when our old Family Head of the Qin Family was ambushed by two sword cultivators in the market…”

As he spoke, he intentionally glanced at the two unfortunate souls crushed to death by the Swallowing Sky Toad on the ground, noting the knowing look on the faces of the onlookers before he continued, “Daoist Fellow Jiang Han from Taiyi Mountain said that the two sword cultivators have already fled the market. Although I am eager to punish them, I lack the ability to pursue them, and can only let those felons roam free.”

However, today this Demon Beast even dared to imitate the act of those two sword cultivators, attacking cultivators in broad daylight. Since I’ve encountered it, I cannot let it off lightly no matter what.

Rest assured, the major sects will do their utmost to maintain stability in the market. As long as no one breaks the rules first, our Beast Taming Sect will surely urge the law-enforcement cultivators in the market to be on strict guard; such incidents of Demon Beasts entering the market and harming people will absolutely not happen again!”

“Daoist Fellow Qin speaks the truth.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a cultivator called out loudly, “Compared to the mindless invasion of Demon Beasts, we are actually more concerned about those sword cultivators who attack from the shadows. After all, it is difficult for Demon Beasts to disguise themselves and enter, but those cultivators, with just a little concealment, can hide among the crowd, truly hard to guard against.”

Qin Feng, with a smile, glanced at the middle-aged cultivator who had spoken and nodded in approval, thinking this fellow was very much on point. He then inquired, “May I know the name of this Daoist Fellow?”

The middle-aged cultivator, seeing Qin Feng nod and asking for a name, was overjoyed and quickly replied, “It’s an honor, an honor, I am Qu Huaqing from Baixi City, and I have seen Daoist Fellow Qin.”

From behind, Qin Guanbao advanced a couple of steps and whispered to Qin Feng, “The Qu Family from Baixi City is also one of the minor families with marital ties to our Qin Family. This Qu Huaqing is the current Family Head of the Qu Family, and his daughter has married one of my grandsons.”

“Oh!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng instantly beamed, “So, Family Head Qu is actually a relative of our Qin Family. In that case, he is hardly an outsider.

Ha ha, our Qin Family is currently preparing to mine the Red Copper Vein and we’re short on manpower. I wonder if Family Head Qu has any family members who would be willing to assist us?”

“Ah?”

Qu Huaqing was initially startled, then quickly realized what Qin Feng meant. His words clearly indicated an intention to lift their family up by allowing them to participate in the exploitation of the Red Copper Vein.

Although their family members would certainly be working as subordinates to the Qin Family and the gains would not surpass those of the Qin Family, even a small share of such a large vein would be enough for a minor family like theirs to earn considerable resources.

With this thought, he was no longer hesitant and nodded eagerly, “Willing, very willing, many thanks to Daoist Fellow Qin for your support!”

Other cultivators witnessing this immediately envied Qu Huaqing for securing a means to earn resources for his family with just a few words.

Especially among the crowd, besides the Qu Family, there were several with similar marital ties to the Qin Family. Upon hearing the conversation, they grew envious and quickly pushed through the crowd, calling out, “Family Head Qin, do not forget about us, we are not outsiders either!”

Qin Guanbao looked to Qin Feng for his opinion.

Qin Feng telepathically sent with a laugh, “Uncle Jiu, feel free to handle it as you wish. After all, we haven’t recruited many hands for the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion, and there’s no need to monopolize all the profits of that vein. It’s okay to leave some for them. Instead, having these families contribute manpower to extract resources from the vein as quickly as possible will bring our Qin Family greater benefits.

This vein is just what our family needs for development at this stage. Don’t cling to the idea of holding onto this vein forever for the family’s legacy.

The vein will eventually be depleted, but what the family needs to do is to exchange the Red Copper mined from it for cultivation resources, to make our people stronger and to bring you and father to higher realms of cultivation.

If in the future, we can advance to the Purple Mansion or even higher realms, then even without this Red Copper vein, could our family still decline?”

With this explanation, Qin Guanbao’s mind cleared. “Indeed, I had been too accustomed to penny-pinching and was somewhat stingy. Let’s do as you say.”

“Then it’s settled. Uncle Jiu, you negotiate with them. Ask how much manpower each family can provide, and try to get them to contribute as much as possible. Do not settle on a fixed share of benefits yet; we will distribute them after the mining is underway.

Don’t worry about them taking advantage; in fact, the more advantage they take, the more they’ll work, and the Qin Family’s benefits will be greater.”

“Alright, leave these trivial matters to me.”

Qin Guanbao agreed and immediately stepped forward, jovially starting negotiations with the cultivators from several families eager to ride on the Qin Family’s coattails.

Qin Feng didn’t concern himself with these details; he didn’t need to focus his thoughts on them.

In truth, all he needed to do was continuously advance his cultivation to higher realms, as higher cultivation is the greatest protection he could provide for his family.

Regarding these mining vein resources, they were merely additional benefits that came with strength.

However, as Qin Feng lightly sighed at the sight of the Old Family Master being initially surrounded by people, the number of useful hands in the family was truly too few.

His father was steady but was currently in closed-door cultivation, striving to achieve the Golden Core as soon as possible.

Qin Yang was also quite clever and capable, but he was still young with insufficient experience. Should he be responsible for these major family affairs, it would be challenging to command respect in terms of experience and prestige. It would be even harder to convince those families that were willing to maintain a good relationship with the Qin Family.

His third granduncle indeed had the age, but it was a pity that he was far too old—it was impossible to let such an old man, who was almost in his grave, handle these matters personally.

Therefore, for the time being, they could only let the Old Family Master set aside his cultivation and handle these matters himself.

Fortunately, Qin Guanbao was an old hand at this and dealt with these affairs with ease. In addition, these families were presently more keen on establishing ties with the Qin Family first, binding together to form a community of shared interests. The best outcome would be to reach a point where they could prosper or suffer together—that way, they could gain the maximum benefit.

On the other side, Jiang Han’s face was hideously twisted.

He did not expect that the battlefield where life and death were decided just moments ago had now turned into a place for the Qin Family to recruit people.

Watching Qin Guanbao chatting and laughing with those cultivators, he felt so angry that his chest heaved violently, and his aura became unstable. Suddenly, with a retch, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body going limp and nearly collapsing to the ground.

“Elder?”

The sword cultivators behind him were startled and hurriedly reached out to steady him.

“Quick, take me back.”

Jiang Han said weakly, “The time for employing the secret technique has passed; I can’t muster any True Yuan. Hurry, if another mishap occurs, we’ll all end up dead here!”

“Yes, Elder.”

The Foundation Establishment sword cultivators hastily gathered the two corpses on the ground and helped Jiang Han to leave quickly.

The surrounding cultivators merely glanced at them a few times, then lost interest, turning their attention with much more curiosity to Qin Guanbao who was in the crowd, detailing the benefits to several families.

It had to be said that Qin Guanbao had a good way with words. Coupled with the backing of Qin Feng, a true disciple with limitless prospects, not only was he full of confidence, but he was also willing to offer quite a few benefits. So not only did he attract cultivators from families with marital relations to the Qin Family, who crowded around him, thumping their chests and declaring their willingness to mobilize as many family hands as possible, other forces were also tempted, and they all asked whether they too could be involved.

Over the years, Tieling’s mining vein resources had been divided up by various families and sects and were completely allocated. The rest of the families had missed the opportunity to partake in the spoils, and naturally, the newly discovered veins by the Qin Family attracted their attention.

Although because of Qin Feng, they dared not harbor excessive greed, they simply hoped to earn some additional resources which might slip through the Qin Family’s fingers. After all, every family had a lot of cultivators to maintain, and it was good to send some cultivators with limited potential to mix with the Qin Family and gain some cultivation resources.

“Alright, alright, everyone!”

Seeing the crowd grow denser and more congested, Qin Guanbao then said, “My Qin Family has just invited Elder Chao Jinque from the Internal Affairs Hall of the Beast Taming Sect to help us build a residence on Qifeng Mountain. Today we came here to purchase some everyday necessities such as tables, chairs, and other furnishings, not specifically to discuss the mining veins.

If you are interested, you can go back and discuss with your families first. My Qin Family will be moving into Qifeng Mountain in three days. You may visit our new residence then. By the way, I can also take everyone to that Red Copper Vein to have a look. After seeing it, we can talk about the details of the mining, how about that?”

“The Qin Family’s joyous relocation, we will definitely come forward to congratulate.”

“Then we will visit Qifeng Mountain in three days!”

“Family Head Qin, since your family has invited Elder Chao from the Beast Taming Sect to personally construct the residence, surely you cannot simply use some common items. My Zhu Family has been dealing in various furniture for generations. How about I personally accompany Family Head Qin later to select some suitable furnishings for the Qin Family?”

An elder stepped forward, “As for the price, Family Head Qin, rest assured, I will give you half price. As long as you allow the Zhu Family to be involved in the mining by the Qin Family, what do you think, Family Head Qin?”

“Oh?”

Qin Guanbao, hearing this, immediately smiled, “Turns out it’s Manager Zhu. Manager Zhu comes from a large and talented family. Since you are willing to help, I certainly won’t refuse.”

“Family Head Qin.”

Another handsome and elegant middle-aged cultivator stepped forward and said, “The porcelain and other furnishings produced by my Heavenly Blue Pavilion are second to none in the entire Chu Kingdom. I am also willing to provide half price for various items to match the Qin Family. Could I also let some of my family’s idle members go to the Qin Family’s veins to seek a job, just to make a living?”

“Master Qi, you’re too kind. The warmest welcome, the warmest welcome indeed, haha…”

Qin Guanbao felt overjoyed in his heart. He couldn’t believe that he had stumbled upon such a stroke of luck. To furnish all the pavilions, towers, mansions, and halls on Luofeng Cliff would cost a considerable number of Spirit Stones. Having these two offer their services so readily meant an instant saving of half the Spirit Stones for him, as well as the opportunity to foster relations with two more powerful families—of course, he was happy.

Other shopkeepers in the market looked on with envy but were unable to get involved.

After all, the items their shops offered weren’t what the Qin Family needed.

A moment later, Qin Feng, riding the White Dragon, took both Master Qi of the Heavenly Blue Pavilion and Manager Zhu towards Qifeng Mountain.

Though the families behind these two both had Golden Core Cultivators at the helm, they were only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage themselves and had never even interacted with a cultivator of the Purple Mansion Realm, let alone ridden Spiritual Beasts with Purple Mansion strength. So, as soon as they set foot on the White Dragon’s spacious back and soared into the sky, they couldn’t help but thrill with excitement.

However, upon arriving at Qifeng Mountain and seeing the sheer number of buildings that made up the Qin Family’s so-called residence atop Luofeng Cliff, they were both astounded by the scale of the Qin Family’s current situation and secretly regretted agreeing to such a low price with Qin Guanbao.

At first, they had assumed that the Qin Family, with merely a hundred or so cultivators, couldn’t possibly have a very large residence. Yet the quantity of items they needed to furnish all the countless pavilions and towers turned out to be over ten times more than they had initially prepared.

But their word was already given, and it seemed ill-advised to go back on it now.

Moreover, establishing good relations with the Qin Family looked to have only benefits and no detriments in the long term. There was no need to renege over a small profit and risk not only causing the Qin Family unhappiness but also erasing all the goodwill they had managed to foster so painstakingly.

As cultivators, the two walked around Luofeng Cliff, inspected all the buildings, and after nearly two hours of discussion with Qin Guanbao, they finalized the arrangement for all the interior furnishings. They decided to gather their clans and transport the items, aiming to complete the endeavor in two days, thus ensuring that the cultivators who would be visiting the Qin Family in three days’ time wouldn’t be greeted by an empty scene.

Qin Feng, of course, had no interest in personally escorting the two men back on the White Dragon.

However, considering the time constraints, he still called Qin Yang and had him ferry them back to Tieling County on a pair of Two-Legged Flying Dragons and then return with their goods.

When Master Qi and Manager Zhu saw that the Qin Family even had two riding beasts with strength equivalent to the Demon Core Realm, they were shocked yet again, realizing the Qin Family’s rise was now inevitable.

However, what they saw was only part of it; there were still many things they hadn’t yet witnessed.

Indeed, when droves of cultivators arrived at Qifeng Mountain three days later on their Spiritual Artifacts, witnessing such a luxurious cultivation ground for the Qin Family, seeing the Qi Refining realm family cultivators riding dozens of Foundation Establishment Realm Golden Mountain Goats around the mountains, beholding the two Demon Core level Two-Legged Flying Dragons circling the void, and observing Elder Qin’s companion, a Demon Core Realm White Crane, they instantly understood: their choice to befriend the Qin Family was correct.

The Qin Family was no longer the little family nearly equal to their own from the past; it had grown to a stature that made them look up in awe.

Not to mention, the mere sight of those dozens of Golden Mountain Goats with Foundation Establishment battle power was enough to make any family without a Golden Core Cultivator feel outmatched, let alone with the presence of so many Demon Core Realm Demon Beasts.

As for the Great Willow at the bottom of the cliff, because it was concealed by the “Cloud Covering Mist Surrounding Sky Array,” no cultivator saw it, or they would have been even more surprised.

Among the visiting cultivators were many who did not run into the Qin Family at the market but had heard the news and came to congratulate them on their new home, as well as those smaller families related by marriage to the Qin Family.

In truth, those small families related by marriage to the Qin Family were more likely to get some information, especially when their daughters were married into the Qin Family as wives and occasionally shared some non-confidential family matters with their own families.

After spending several days negotiating with various families, Family Head Qin had people from each family come over, following the direction of the cultivators sent by Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion to start mining the Red Copper Vein, including handling the refining of fine Red Copper, all going official, Qin Guanbao then left Qin Yang in charge before he once again retreated for cultivation.

Three months later, atop Luofeng Cliff, within the largest Cultivation Cave Mansion, a sudden enormous suction emerged from the cave where Qin Guanbao was cultivating, forming a spiritual energy vortex dozens of feet wide that drained the nearby Spiritual Energy completely.

This was a phenomenon signifying the success of Core Formation.

Qin Feng had experienced something similar when he first formed his Golden Core, so he was naturally not unfamiliar with this phenomenon. Although Family Head Qin’s Core Formation was far less conspicuous than his, for an old man of Qin Guanbao’s age, forming a Golden Core was already quite admirable.

Before the phenomenon of the Old Family Master forming his Core had even dissipated, a similar event occurred above the Cultivation Cave Mansion where Qin Long was in seclusion.

Seeing this, Qin Feng was instantly elated beyond measure.

In a single day, the old Family Head and his father had both advanced to Golden Core, truly a cause for immense celebration.

In fact, since the Qin Family had no means to conceal these phenomena, not only did the entire Qin Family witness the scene of the two ascending to Golden Core, but even those Foundation Establishment Cultivators who were commanding a host of cultivators and miners in the extraction and smelting of copper a hundred miles away at the Red Copper Vein saw it.

The moment they learned that both the Old Family Head of the Qin Family and Qin Long had formed Golden Cores at the same time, they were so astonished that they were speechless for a good while.
