Chapter Eighteen: The Family Arrives

  At noon that day, Qin Yong was cultivating when he suddenly felt his true energy slowing down. Qin Yong woke up from his cultivation state, shook his head lightly, and realized the effect of the first Spirit Energy Pill had worn off. After a moment's thought, Qin Yong decided not to take another pill for the time being.

  Although there were still two Spirit Essence Pills left, Qin Yu planned to use them to break through the Seventh Layer of the Qi Refining Realm. However, he wasn't in a hurry at this moment. Qin Yu had his own thoughts; with only three Spirit Essence Pills initially and now only two left, it was impossible for him to rely on them to cultivate up to the Ninth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm. The double-speed cultivation for seven consecutive days made Qin Yu feel uncomfortable as soon as the effect dissipated. If he continued taking the Spirit Essence Pills, by the time they ran out and his cultivation speed returned to normal, he would definitely find it even harder to adapt. Qin Yu's gaze wasn't just fixed on advancing to become an Outer Sect Disciple; although he was eager to advance quickly in his heart, he didn't want to wait until then and spend more time adapting.

  Because of this consideration, Qin Yong only practiced normally and did not take the Qi Ling Dan. He re-entered his practice, and before long, Qin Yong adapted to it, stopping only in the afternoon. This time he stopped was because someone disturbed him, feeling footsteps coming from outside the courtyard, clearly heading in this direction, Qin Yong then stopped.

  "Qin Yong, someone has come to your home."

  The newcomer was a young man, looking like fifteen or sixteen years old, and like Qin Yong, he was a miscellaneous disciple. He was usually responsible for sweeping some attics, belonging to the relatively idle miscellaneous disciples, with a cultivation of Wu Jing boundary five layers, just like Qin Yong before. However, he was several years younger than Qin Yong, and his talent was slightly better than Qin Yong's, so he was arranged to do such an easy task.

  Miscellaneous disciples of the Yunhai Sect are responsible for various miscellaneous tasks, among which the medicinal field is relatively hard work. For example, Qin Yong now only takes care of one Sancai Linglan, but if he were to plant a full-spirited medicine, there would be several busy periods every day. Sweeping the attic and the like, on the other hand, are considered relatively easy tasks, with two sweeps per day that can be completed quickly, which is the difference brought about by differences in natural talent.

  "I know, I'll go right away." Qin Yong nodded, recognizing the other person's identity, and didn't suspect anything.

  This young man was responsible for sweeping some of the attics, one of which was the guest hall, where guests were received. However, those who went there were generally not big shots, and the real reception pavilion would not be left to a miscellaneous servant like him, nor even an outer door disciple, because this concerned the face of the sect.

  The Welcome Pavilion is used to receive important guests, generally at least the level of Liu Yan's inner door geniuses' relatives and friends who come to Yunhai Sect as guests can enter. Normally, it is a place for core disciples and elders to receive guests. Naturally, sweeping and serving tea are tasks that must be taken care of by some decent disciples, usually ordinary inner door disciples who take on the task assigned by the sect.

  The guest hall in the outer gate is used to receive ordinary inner door disciples and outer door disciples, but miscellaneous servants are slightly less qualified. However, no one minds these things, anyway, the guest hall is not just one room, it's not every day that they will meet together so coincidentally, besides, the guest hall is only temporarily used for reception, in the end, it's actually entertained elsewhere.

  This time, someone from the Qin family came over, and they definitely couldn't come directly to Qin Yong's place, so they first went to the guest hall and then had other disciples pass on the message. For formal guests, there would be a special disciple in charge of passing on messages, while for someone like Qin Yong, they would just casually send someone over to pass on the message.

  Qin Yong responded with a sound, slightly tidied up, and followed the young servant disciple who made the announcement to the guest hall. The distance from Qin Yong's courtyard was not too far, just a few minutes' walk. As he walked, Qin Yong thought about the "family members" who had come to find him.

  Qin Yong is not the same miserable guy as before, but a traverser who inherited everything from that miserable guy, including his family. Because he was in Yunhai Sect from the beginning, working as a miscellaneous disciple, until now Qin Yong has never seen his family members, and can only find them in his memories. Soon, Qin Yong found the corresponding situation, the situation at home is quite special, and when he recalled these situations from memory, Qin Yong couldn't help but laugh and cry.

  About a few hundred miles away from Yunhai Sect, there is a Yangmu City, which is a fairly strong city. In Yangmu City, there are the city master Murong family and the Ye Wang Xu family, all of whom are deeply rooted martial arts families. Many of the younger generation of these four martial arts families have entered various sects, but most of them are just miscellaneous disciples. Only a few outer door disciples, only those who are truly cultivated by the family, can become inner door disciples.

  Even so, the four major martial arts families in Yangmu City still established a position that second-rate families could not shake, and the Qin family was one of them. Qin Yong was from the Qin family, a second-rate family in Yangmu City.

  The Qin family also sent many younger relatives to various sects, but most of them were eliminated and couldn't even become miscellaneous disciples. Qin Yong was one of the better ones, being one of the five members of the Qin family who entered a sect, but he was only a miscellaneous disciple. From his memories, it seemed that there was someone who went to the Xun Jian Sect and became an outer sect disciple, causing a stir in the Qin family for a while.

  The Jianzong Sect is one of the five major sects in Tianhong Country, and its strength is not inferior to that of Yunhai Sect. Becoming an outer disciple of such a sect is indeed a rare and exciting event for a second-rate family like Yangmu City's Qin family. Qin Yong remembered that when they first entered the sect, they held a celebratory banquet, but only those who became outer disciples received everyone's attention, even the master of the house was eager to talk to them, while the other four were treated coldly.

  Originally, Qin Yong was just a collateral member of the Qin family and had a low status in the family. It wasn't until he became a miscellaneous disciple of Yunhai Sect that things changed. In his memories, Qin Yong found that the tragic figure who had been oppressed by the Qin family actually still held some resentment towards them, but truly cared about were only his parents and younger sister.

  It's just parents and sister, generally they won't come to Yunhai Sect, and if it was them, the notification would directly say "parents" or "sister", not vaguely "family members". After Qin Yong figured out the situation, he felt that this time it was probably just someone from the Qin family. This made Qin Yong even more indifferent than before. He thought to himself, since he had inherited everything from that miserable person, he couldn't say he completely cut off ties with the Qin family, so going back to take a look would be fine.

  Similarly, Qin Yong was also somewhat curious about what the person from the Qin family wanted to see him for. Although he didn't show much enthusiasm, having inherited his memories, he couldn't completely let go of his parents and sister, and was worried if something had happened to them.
