Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Qin Family

Upon hearing Ji Chen’s words, everyone present couldn’t help but be stunned.

Someone couldn’t resist speaking, "If this Divine Spring truly has such effects, comparable to a Holy Medicine, why would you risk venturing into the Emperor’s Fall Mountain Range to seek other Holy Medicines?"

"The Divine Spring is indeed good, but its effects are indeed limited, unable to bring people back from the dead. However, in terms of healing, no Holy Medicine in the world compares to it," Ji Chen replied.

Qin Yin remained silent but got up and approached Ji Chen, seemingly wanting to see the mysterious nature of this so-called Divine Spring.

Ji Chen naturally understood his intentions, and without hesitation, directly handed the Divine Spring to him.

"What a strong Life Force!"

Qin Yin took a look and instantly felt a vigorous aura rush towards him, making him quite surprised. ℯℯ𝘭.

Obviously, as the Young Master of the Qin Family, Qin Yin had encountered many natural treasures. With his discerning eyes, he immediately recognized the extraordinariness of this Divine Spring, indeed possessing extremely strong healing abilities, comparable to many Holy Medicines in the world.

"Brother Qin, what do you think?" Ji Chen asked.

Qin Yin didn’t speak initially, but after pondering for a moment, he said, "The information about Holy Medicines is a secret of my Qin Family. I can’t make the call, but your Divine Spring is indeed extraordinary, and my family’s elders might be very interested."

Saying this, he looked at Ji Chen again and asked, "May I know your name, friend?"

"Ji Chen," he replied calmly, without any concealment.

In fact, among those present, more than ten young talents came from the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion and had already recognized Ji Chen.

However, Qin Yin was evidently unfamiliar with his name, hearing it for the first time that night.

He clasped his fists and said, "If Brother Ji is truly interested in exchanging this Divine Spring for information on Holy Medicines, you might consider returning with me to the Qin Family. What do you think?"

Qin Yin couldn’t make the decision, needing to report the matter to the high-level members of the Qin Family for them to decide.

"Alright."

Without hesitation, Ji Chen nodded directly.

"Apologies, everyone, I have to leave for a moment, and later, an elder from the Qin Family will come to discuss the details of entering the mountains tomorrow," he said.

With that, Qin Yin led Ji Chen away from there.

"Brother Ji is a disciple of the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion?"

On the way to the Qin Family, the two exchanged idle chat. Upon learning about Ji Chen’s background, Qin Yin was slightly surprised.

He had thought the other party was an elite disciple of some Sacred Land or Noble Family, never imagining he was a prominent figure from the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion.

Soon, under Qin Yin’s guidance, the two smoothly entered the Qin Family.

The surroundings hadn’t changed much, similar to what Ji Chen had seen in the Secret Realm before.

They proceeded toward the main hall, and along the way, many members of the Qin Family respectfully greeted Qin Yin upon seeing him.

"Who is that person? Why is he returning with the Young Master to the Qin Family?"

"He looks quite young, maybe he’s a Saint Heir from a Sacred Land?"

Some young family members whispered among themselves, all eyes focusing on Ji Chen.

In their eyes, among the younger generation, anyone who could walk alongside their Young Master Qin Yin had to have a status of at least a Saint Heir.

They were puzzled, as the Young Master was supposed to be at Mist Rain Tower tonight. Why did he suddenly return?

Faced with these whispers, both Ji Chen and Qin Yin paid no heed.

They soon arrived at the clan hall.

Qin Yin had evidently already passed the message ahead. When he brought Ji Chen into the hall, Ji Chen found it already filled with many people sitting around.

Most of these people were elderly, and if Ji Chen wasn’t mistaken, they were probably elders of the Qin Family.

At the very front of the main hall sat a middle-aged man.

Upon seeing him, Ji Chen couldn’t help but be slightly surprised, as he felt the man’s appearance somewhat resembled that of Qin Zhihai from his memory.

It was likely someone from Qin Zhihai’s direct lineage.

If Ji Chen guessed correctly, the man was probably the current Patriarch of the Qin Family.

"Greetings, Father. Greetings, all elders."

Sure enough, upon entering the hall, Qin Yin slightly bowed, and his address to the middle-aged man confirmed Ji Chen’s guess.

Qin Wenchang.

The Patriarch of the Qin Family, one of the Nine Great Emperor Clans in Divine River City, was said to have stepped into the Great Saint Realm many years ago.

For years, he had held his position in Divine River City. Though he had not yet comprehended the Emperor Realm, his strength was formidable, with few in the world able to match it.

"Junior Ji Chen, a disciple of the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, greets all the elders."

Ji Chen also slightly cupped his hands, neither humble nor arrogant.

Qin Wenchang set down his teacup and gazed at Ji Chen, his deep eyes flashing with approval. He said, "Surprisingly, among the younger generation today, there are masters like you, Little Friend, who have stepped into the Great Saint Realm at such a young age. It seems the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion lives up to its reputation."

"Great Saint?!"

Hearing Qin Wenchang’s words, Qin Yin couldn’t help but be surprised, looking at Ji Chen with some astonishment.

Clearly, from the beginning when he saw Ji Chen until now, he hadn’t truly discerned Ji Chen’s strength. Though he could sense the other’s cultivation was at least at the Saint Realm, he hadn’t expected him to have stepped into the Great Saint, just like himself!

In the Nine Great Star Domains, a young Great Saint Realm expert like Ji Chen was definitely rare.

"Senior is too kind."

Ji Chen replied calmly, though he was truly surprised.

With his Secret Technique concealing his strength, even a master like the Mansion Master Celestial Saint Venerable might not be able to truly gauge it.

Yet, now before Qin Wenchang, the latter discerned his Great Saint Realm strength with just a glance.

This showed that Qin Wenchang’s strength was far more terrifying than Ji Chen had imagined.

"I’ve just received Ying’er’s message about your visit to our Qin Family. May I see the Divine Spring?" Qin Wenchang asked.

He knew his son well. If Ji Chen’s Divine Spring weren’t truly extraordinary, it wouldn’t have caught his attention.

"Of course."

Ji Chen nodded, and without hesitation, waved his large hand, tossing the bottle full of Divine Spring towards Qin Wenchang.

"This divine water is indeed extraordinary!"

With just one look, Qin Wenchang saw the extraordinariness of the Divine Spring, and his eyes brightened, "If this water could be refined in a special way, it might bring considerable benefits to the Nine Dragon True Body."

He handed the Divine Spring to the elders present for them to examine one by one.

"Exchanging this water for information on Holy Medicines is a fair trade for our Qin Family. However, the mountains are fraught with danger. Although you have the strength of the Great Saint Realm, if you enter alone, it’s uncertain you’ll return alive. Would you consider joining our Qin Family’s expedition tomorrow?" Qin Wenchang extended an invitation.
