80: Chapter 80: Coming to the Mortal World
Chapter 80: Arrival in the Mortal Realm
At this moment, in the Qin Family in the Mortal Realm, inside the Family Main Hall.
The Family Head, Qin Qiling, was sitting majestically on the Family Head’s throne, while everyone else was seated on both sides of the hall.
Today was the Qin Family’s annual Family Assembly, where everyone reported on their progress over the past year.
“Family Head, last year the Qin Family’s annual income was 400,000 taels of gold. A Body Tempering 5th Layer retainer of the Family requires 100,000 taels annually, and the Family’s total expenses were 250,000 taels, resulting in a net profit of 50,000 taels.”
“Family Head, currently the Qin Family Members has a total of 500,000 members. Last year, 20,000 infants were born, but none of them possessed Cultivation Aptitude.”
“Family Head, under the Sun family’s suppression, our Qin Family’s sphere of influence is continuously shrinking, currently only about 200 li in radius. If this continues, our Qin Family will face extreme difficulties this year, and the Sun family has a Body Tempering Realm 8th Layer retainer, leaving us with no means to retaliate.”
Hearing this, Qin Qiling said coldly, “Have you contacted the Main Family about this matter?”
At this moment, a Family member said in a deep voice, “Family Head, I have already sent people to contact the Main Family, but all the dispatched individuals have lost contact. We have not yet been able to reach the Main Family.”
Just then, a Qin Family guard rushed in frantically, “Family Head, it’s bad! The Sun family’s people are causing trouble at our Qin Family Restaurant, and they are currently smashing up our Qin Family Restaurant.”
Qin Qiling was furious at this moment, “This is intolerable! Sun family, you have bullied my Qin Family to this extent. Even if I die today, I will break a tooth from you!”
At this moment, Qin Feng roughly located the Qin Family members through Bloodline sensing. He then took Ji Ziyue and directly merged into the Void Realm. When they reappeared, they were already in a massive city in the Mortal Realm.
On the bustling main street, pedestrians were bustling about.
“Steamed buns for sale! Freshly steamed big meat buns, 2 copper coins each!”
“Come and see! A hundred-year-old ginseng dug from the deep mountains and old forests! Eating it will extend your lifespan, only ten taels of gold!”
“Everyone, come quickly! Our restaurant is opening today, and all dishes and drinks are 50% off!”
Standing beside him, Ji Ziyue looked at the bustling street. Although this was only the lowest-grade Mortal Realm, it was filled with a rich sense of human life.
Perhaps it was due to being busy with Cultivation for a long time; being in such an environment could also allow one to relax.
“Young Master, there’s a restaurant here. Let’s go in and sit down.”
Qin Feng glanced at the restaurant. Its name was Qin Family Restaurant, so it must be an industry of the Qin Family in the Mortal Realm.
“Good, let’s go in and sit down, and also experience the dishes of this Mortal Realm to satisfy our cravings.”
As they arrived at the entrance, the young attendant at the door smiled and said, “Welcome, distinguished guests, to Qin Family Restaurant! Our restaurant is opening today, and all dishes are 50% off. There’s even a lucky draw event! I’m sure you both will enjoy your meal.”
Ji Ziyue smiled and said, “Arrange a private room for my Young Master,” then handed the young attendant a Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
The moment he saw the Low-Grade Spirit Stone, the young attendant’s eyes widened.
“I never thought that I, Er Gouzi, would one day see the legendary Spirit Stone! This is a Spirit Stone! One piece is worth ten thousand gold! Could they be Cultivators? Today, I, Er Gouzi, have met a great person! This life is worth it!”
Ji Ziyue said at this moment, “What? Is one Spirit Stone not enough?”
At this moment, the young attendant respectfully said, “Enough, of course, it’s enough! This Spirit Stone is enough to buy our restaurant! I will go and tell our manager right away.”
Ji Ziyue waved her hand, “I’m not interested in your restaurant. Just arrange a private room for me and my Young Master, and also bring your restaurant’s best dishes and wine. This Spirit Stone is your reward.”
The young attendant nodded repeatedly, then said, “Please follow me, both of you. I will take you to the Heaven-Rank private room right away.”
Soon, the two arrived in an antique-style private room. A window was opened beside the table, allowing them to see the outside scenery.
After leading Qin Feng into the private room, Er Gouzi went directly to the back courtyard of the restaurant and said solemnly, “Manager, two strangers just came to our restaurant to eat and gave me this. I’ve taken them to the Heaven-Rank private room.”
The restaurant’s manager was named Qin Wu, a girl in her early twenties.
After seeing the Spirit Stone, Qin Wu’s eyes narrowed slightly, then she said to Er Gouzi, “You did well in this matter. Go to the accounts office and claim thirty taels of gold.”
Hearing this, Er Gouzi’s face flushed. Thirty taels of gold, that was equivalent to ten years of his wages!
Then Qin Wu personally brought the dishes and wine up to the Heaven-Rank private room.
“Distinguished guests, my name is Qin Wu, and I am the manager of this restaurant. These are our restaurant’s signature dishes. Please have a taste.”
Qin Feng instantly sensed that the Qin Wu in front of him was a member of the Qin Family, then said, “Manager Qin, please sit down and eat with us.”
Qin Wu’s expression instantly became unnatural, then she said, “Are you sent by the Sun family? I’ve already said that I will never marry someone from the Sun family. You can give up on that idea.”
Ji Ziyue was puzzled, then said, “Manager Qin, there’s naturally a reason why Young Master asked you to sit down. Also, we are not people from the Sun family. We are Qin Family people.”
“Impossible! I know all the Qin Family people, and you two are definitely not among the Qin Family members. Wait, are you special envoys sent by the Main Family?”
At this moment, Qin Wu’s eyes widened, her gaze filled with a hint of anticipation and deep shock.
Ji Ziyue smiled at this moment and said, “This person beside me is the current Family Head of the Qin Family.”
Hearing this, Qin Wu became restless. She originally thought that only a Family member from the Main Family had come, but she never expected it to be the Family Head! The Family Head must be at the Foundation Establishment Stage!
“Junior Qin Rou, greets the Family Head.”
Qin Feng directly used Spiritual Qi to lift Qin Wu, then said, “With me, there are not so many formalities. You sit down first, and we can talk while we eat.”
Ji Ziyue swept her gaze and found that Qin Wu actually had no Spiritual Root, secretly sighing in regret.
Then she took out a pot of Marrow Cleansing Divine Liquid from her Storage Ring, poured a cup for Qin Wu, and then poured a cup for herself as well.
Now in the Qin Family, consuming Marrow Cleansing Divine Liquid was already a common occurrence, and this Marrow Cleansing Divine Liquid had Heaven-Defying miraculous effects for those without Cultivation Aptitude. However, as the Aptitude grade increased, it would become more difficult to improve.
At this moment, Qin Feng tasted the food, then poured himself a cup of wine and drank it in one gulp.
Instantly, a spicy sensation spread through his taste buds and throat. Qin Feng said faintly, “It’s been so long since I’ve experienced this feeling. I wonder how my parents on Blue Star are doing now. Mom and Dad, are you well?”
And Qin Wu, seeing Qin Feng drink a cup of wine, also drank the cup of Marrow Cleansing Divine Liquid that Ji Ziyue poured for her in one gulp.
However, the moment the Marrow Cleansing Divine Liquid entered her mouth, Qin Wu frowned.
