This is Qin Xi’s grotto heaven within the Creation Lineage of the Inner Sect.

When Qin Xi returned to the sect, she already possessed Dharma Image Late Stage strength, qualifying her to establish her own cave mansion within the Inner Sect.

Now, with her advancement to the Primordial Spirit, not only has her cultivation surged, but her cave mansion has also been beautifully arranged, even displaying elements of the Elf Clan’s style, suggesting she’s been influenced by her prolonged stay in the Elf Forest.

However, the Elf Clan itself esteems natural beauty, which doesn’t conflict with the Creation Lineage’s style; instead, it adds unique traits to her cave mansion.

Qin Feng sat at the main seat, with Qin Xi accompanying him, observing a few young men and women who had come together.

Since Qin Feng has already become an Immortal, he relocated his cave mansion to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven long ago, spending most of his time cultivating in his Immortal Mansion there.

However, since the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven is a crucial sect location, it is unsuitable for ordinary disciples to enter, especially since most of these young ones before him are still cultivating in the Outer Sect and haven’t joined the Inner Sect, making it inappropriate to invite them to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven.

Coincidentally, Qin Feng wanted to visit Qin Xi’s place to acknowledge clan members, so he summoned family juniors to meet here, only to find more attendees than he had expected!

Over the years, the Qin family has gradually had several youths join the Beast Taming Sect, mainly due to the family’s expansion and development, resulting in numerous talented youths and thus this occurrence.

Back then, the old family master began selecting female cultivators from various small families for strategic marriages as soon as Qin Feng entered the Inner Sect, carefully choosing Daoist Companions for the family’s younger generation.

Once Qin Feng became part of the True Inheritance, it goes without saying that even great families were willing to form alliances with the Qin family, a trend that only grew stronger with Qin Feng’s rising strength.

After Qin Feng became an immortal, any unmarried young member of the Qin family could become a hotly pursued figure among various great families, and cultivators like Qin Yang, who were young and powerful, were sought after even by talented female cultivators from medium-sized sects!

However, no one dared to harbor any thoughts about Qin Feng’s old father!

After all, being the stepmother of a Heavenly Immortal isn’t a role just anyone can take!

Conversely, the daughters of the Qin family became the object of pursuits by young men from various great families. If someone managed to win the heart of a Qin girl and marry her, their status within their family would immediately be elevated significantly.

Should someone marry a legitimate Qin daughter, they might even be directly designated as the next clan leader or the successor with real power.

Unfortunately, many daughters of the Qin family were not inclined to leave, often opting to invite talented and attractive loose cultivators as husbands into the Qin family.

Years of development, coupled with the old family master’s personal example… ahem, by words, not deeds, have resulted in a large offspring within the family!

Long ago, Qin Guanbao advised the earlier clan members that although the family resources were ample, most of their spiritual potential was limited; even with family resources striving for cultivation to the Golden Core Realm was merely an endpoint.

This acknowledgment led the old family master to encourage them to focus on procreation, essentially deeming their cultivation potential mediocre and instead leveraging their offspring’s promising lineage for the future.

This approach is common to the initial rise of every great family, and the Qin family is no exception.

As a result, they selected several well-qualified female cultivators from loose cultivators to serve as concubines for certain family members, aiming to increase the number of gifted descendants.

Should any clever member successfully bring more female cultivators from outside, the Qin family would still provide resources to support them, as long as they could keep their household in order and withstand the demands of these female cultivators pressing them day and night.

Consequently, the Qin family established an alchemy room, hiring several alchemists to impart knowledge to descendants with alchemical talent, creating elixirs for health and vitality, ranging from Revitalizing Pills to Upright Pills, with these items seeing high demand.

Those Qin members who had seven or eight or even more wives were regulars of the alchemy room!

Regarding this, the early wives who married into the Qin family voiced little concern; most came from small families and joining the Qin family brought benefits and a quality of life vastly different from their previous family life.

Their families would not allow them to return over jealousy; forming alliances with Qin was a rare opportunity not to be disrupted, as reclaiming such ties afterward would be near impossible.

Moreover, they didn’t wish to become mere vessels for offspring; if someone else could share the responsibility, they welcomed it, as having children every two years isn’t the life they envisioned, especially with the potential for a two-century-long lifespan after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Some Qin wives who aspired to advance in their spiritual journey even actively arranged for their husbands to marry additional wives to free time for their cultivation.

No matter how many wives were acquired later, they remained the principal wife, receiving the most resources, with even the offspring from other women calling them ‘Aunt.’

Elevating their status through cultivation and management could solidify their standing further, potentially overseeing significant family duties, an opportunity surpassing what their natal families could offer.

In fact, some newly married women displayed remarkable potential due to sufficient resources, reaching the Golden Core Stage, with prospects of advancing to the Purple Mansion, elevating their status above their husbands and bringing more care for their offspring.

In this context, the number of Qin clan members grows rapidly each year, although initially the family was brimming with children and bustling with activity, as they matured, they quickly embarked on the path of cultivation.

The old family master prioritized cultivating talented youths, restricting early marriage arrangements.

Meanwhile, those with average talents continued their predecessors’ pursuits, resulting in a tenfold family expansion within decades, including many promising juniors.

As a result, the focus waned from solely family growth to more individuals joining sects for broader prospects.

Yet not everyone was sent to the sect casually; only remarkably gifted youths qualified, ensuring that they could make a name for themselves within the sect supported by family resources.

Otherwise, it would not only embarrass Qin Feng but bring no benefit to the family!

Each youth sent to the sect was personally tested by the old family master, excluding those with poor moral fiber to avoid disgrace upon the family!

Standing before Qin Feng were seven or eight young men and women, apart from Qin Yan and Qin Huang’er, whom he had previously encountered in the family, the others were unfamiliar to him.

In comparison, Qin Xi is much more familiar with these young men and women than he is!

No way around it, Qin Feng hasn’t even had time to visit the family, let alone stay in the sect for long periods over the years. Most of the time, he’s either waging wars outside the realm or on his way to those expeditions, with no chance to meet these folks.

Qin Xi, however, has been cultivating within the sect in recent years and would visit the family during leisure time. When at the mountain gate, he would gather a few clan juniors to guide them.

Moreover, Qin Xi is gentle and kind-hearted, putting effort into guiding their cultivation and offering many benefits, so these Qin juniors have a favorable impression of her.

But they are somewhat nervous around Qin Feng.

Even though they know Qin Feng is the most outstanding talent of the Qin Family, regarded as a sky-reaching giant pillar by all Qin Clan members, without his powerful rise, the Qin Family wouldn’t have its current strength and status!

These youths have always been proud of Qin Feng, but since it was their first meeting and Qin Feng has already reached the Heavenly Immortal Peak, a vast distance beyond their realm, they were anxious, fearing they might say something displeasing to the backbone of the Qin Family!

Fortunately, Qin Yan and Qin Huang’er, who had previously interacted with Qin Feng, took the initiative to greet him. With Qin Xi also smiling beside him introducing everyone, the juniors, though nervous, behaved courteously, greeting respectfully and standing obediently aside afterwards.

Qin Feng certainly didn’t make things difficult for these juniors, offering a few kind words of encouragement and briefly guiding their cultivation direction. He then casually presented a few trinkets as meeting gifts before letting them leave.

After all, at his level, he shared little common ground with these small cultivators still at the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Realm. Even Qin Yan and Qin Huang’er, who entered earlier, had only cultivated to the Golden Core Peak and didn’t know when they might seize the opportunity to break through to the Purple Mansion.

That was mainly due to the special care from the family and the earnest teaching of their mentors.

Otherwise, given their talents, it wouldn’t have been easy to reach their current realm in just a few years.

Fortunately, they were Qin Family juniors, and with Qin Feng having already gifted Qin Yan a demigod bloodline fire lizard cub and given Qin Huang’er a phoenix egg, their lifebound spiritual beasts were powerful enough to gain significant attention at the outer peak, receiving focused nurturing after entering the inner sect.

Qin Yan, whose lifebound fire lizard beast couldn’t transform, stood out with its powerful physique and flame power and thus apprenticed under an elder of the Wild Beast Lineage.

Due to her lifebound spiritual beast being a phoenix, Qin Huang’er was taken in early by the Vermilion Bird Lineage for special cultivation, seemingly surpassing Qin Yan in cultivation by a few points!

Seeing their cultivation reaching critical points, Qin Feng, when presenting gifts to these juniors, casually handed two fire element spirit fruits to them.

These two spirit fruits were not from the fifth layer of the Demon Refining Pot’s fire spirit root, as the fruits on the spirit root were not yet ripe for picking.

He obtained these from a secret place during his travels in the Flame World within the Five Elements World. They contained a trace of flame principle, perfect for Qin Yan and Qin Huang’er to use.

He believed that once they refined these spirit fruits, they would certainly break through to the Purple Mansion Realm. By then, aside from him and Qin Xi, the Qin Family would finally have members worthy of recognition within the sect.

Once these juniors withdrew, Qin Feng began conversing with Qin Xi.

When he inquired about Qin Xi’s future plans and learned that she intended to respond to the sect’s call and join the elite team following the two ancestors on an expedition to the Nordic God Realm, he couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile, surprised that Qin Xi chose to go there for training!

The power of the Nordic God Realm is indisputable, especially under the schemes of Spring and Autumn Academy’s Mountain Master Gongsun Cuo and Gui Ling Ancestor. Their army’s timing to enter the realm was extremely opportune, arriving during the grand battle of various forces invading the upper divine country, likely facing the most ferocious resistance from all clans upon entry.

Even if the Nordic God Realm had already suffered severe losses by then, a careless maneuver during a desperate fight might still cause significant damage to the expedition army.

This is why Gui Ling Ancestor only transmitted a call for elites, not ordinary cultivators. Ordinary cultivators who go will only meet a cannon fodder’s fate!

Qin Xi joining this team to the Nordic God Realm will undoubtedly be fraught with peril.

However, Qin Feng did not discourage her, as everyone has their path to tread. Qin Xi, now having cultivated to the Primordial Spirit Realm, surely has her plans for her future cultivation direction, so Qin Feng did not intervene.

He simply infused a mass of life origin power extracted from the Life and Death Yin Yang Treasure Pearl into Qin Xi before departing, ensuring she could survive if severely injured, and then refrained from further involvement.

As for himself, he had no intention of following the two ancestors to the Nordic God Realm again.

Firstly, since he had been there before, he had already acquired all the opportunities he could. The remaining treasures had been targeted by major forces for years, so his potential gains were uncertain if he went.

Without benefits, why dive into those murky waters?

However, Li Miaozhen had some ideas about the Nordic God Realm!

In her early years, she infiltrated the upper divine country, overseeing heroic spirit training at the Heroic Spirit Hall for a time.

Thus, she was intrigued by the vast number of heroic spirits!

She thought it would be beneficial to seize some heroic spirit troops if possible.

Li Miaozhen didn’t own a Demon Refining Pot; she couldn’t set up a war formation with so many spiritual beasts like Qin Feng, but if she could commandeer part of the heroic spirit army, refining the Heroic Spirit Hall into a treasure similar to the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave, Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, or Yama Hall, she could command a million heroic spirits to fight!

Although the Heroic Spirit Hall was surely watched by others, her past tenure there gave her a chance to try.

She wouldn’t need to capture all countless heroic spirits; just a small portion would suffice for a significant power boost.

Li Miaozhen had her plans, which Qin Feng wouldn’t obstruct.

But he wasn’t planning to accompany Li Miaozhen to the Nordic God Realm either.

As masters of Qi Luck, their cultivation directions and paths were destined not to align perfectly, each having their fortunes, and it’s not ideal to act together—even if opportunities are evenly split, solo rewards are often greater.

Moreover, Qin Feng now has another target in mind!
