Sheng Tian rose up early in the morning and went out to the Qin Estate. It is not his first time going there.
But he was still awed when he saw that majestic building. He entered the gate to the Qin Estate.
That's right, There is a huge number of houses shining with resplendence everywhere in this area. These are for the members of the Qin Clan living in the Capital, while their quality and positioning is according to their status.
The Entire Estate is brimming with beautiful exotice trees everywhere along with enchanting flowers. What seemed like Mapple trees and Flamboyant like trees made the whole estate radiant just like a beautiful painting. It felt like this Estate is built in a Natural Forest instead of a City.
Sheng Tian took a deep breath inhaling the sweet fragrances of the Flowers coming from the backyards of countless houses as he walked ahead peacefully. The Snow on the Ground was evenly cleaned and the road is flat. Even when it snows, everything will be as lively except the Picturesque of the Estate would be further aesthetic with the white snowfall as the canvas and the Estate itself as the Painting.
The Palace is meant for Official Purposes meaning no residence is present there.The Core Members of the Qin Clan have their Residence right beside the Qin Palace. Naturally, Qin Qing house was there too.
It was three days since they returned, Sheng Tian just received the two pills promised. He wanted to leave but unexpectedly received an invitation from Qin Qing to meet her the next day.
Pondering over the issue, Sheng Tian had to make his way to the Qin Clan.
There are clearly people moving here and there all over the place. When he asked the way over to Qin Qing's mansion, all he received was looks of disdain and mockery. But when they saw the Insignia given by Qin qing, they bent their heads and told the route.
Following the directions, Sheng Tian somehow reached Qin Qing's home. After informing the maid to notify Qin Qing, He leisurely sat in the Guest Room sipping the tea thinking of composing a poem to praise God for creating food and tongue.
"You're here" A gentle yet dignified voice sounded as Qin Qing walked over.
"Hmm" He just nodded. After she sat down, He didn't speak and waited for her to tell the purpose of today's invitation.
"I think you don't want to hear anything trivial, So I will get straight to the point. I want you to help me in the 'Qin Ancestral Grounds' by joining my team. I can agree to your conditions as long as they are negotiable." She stated.
"Hmm…What is this all about? Could you elaborate?." He asked puzzledly. He never investigated about the famous things of the Qin Capital.
Qin Qing was a bit taken back for a second as the Qin Ancestral Grounds are well known even in the Entire Continent, not to mention for someone who was living in the Qin Capital currently.
"It seems like you are not someone from here. 'Qin Ancestral Grounds' are the legacies left behind by my forefathers. It opens once every 50 years. Inside it are countless treasures, Profound Arts, Pills and herbs.
If any of the Strong members of the Current Qin Clan are nearing their death, they too will mostly choose to end their lives there through a formation, leaving behind their legacies for the future generations. Also, the Profound Energy there is much more dense and pure than the Outside.
Once Every fifty years, The Ancestral Grounds are opened for the younger generations. Qin Clan takes this opportunity to select the Next Clan Head based on the results. I need you to join my team on this expedetition." She explained in detail.
Sheng Tian fell into deep thought. After all, It is free treasures falling into his lap. He felt that it would be a waste if he doesn't pick them up.He only needed to make sure that things go right for him.
He mentally exclaimed ' It seems like there is no choice. I have to share this burden and free the treasures from the clutches of those dead fellows and let them see the light. Little Cute Treasures, Big Brother is here, don't fear.'
"Miss, What do you want me to help you with?" He needed to be clear on this is a give and take.
Qin Qing's expression turned a bit more stern as she replied " Every Fifty years, There will be a Commanding Token appearing in the Ruins. If I can get that, even if I don't find any other treasures, I will be the one to win. But, It is very very difficult to find a token.
After the token, are the 36 Jade Seals which are formed every hundred years. But few months after they are formed, they disappear.
So, each time, there are only 36 Jade Seals. The one to get the most Jade seals would be the winner.
And in the worst case where no Jade Seal is found, the value of the Treasures are compared. Usually, The number of Jade Seals determine the Victor." She finished infroming him the selection process and took a sip of the tea.
Sheng Tian got it straight. Token>Jade Seals>Treasures. Once you get something of High grade, the low grade ones won't effect the result.
"What kind of place is the Ruins? And Who are the contestants?"
"As they say 'Danger and Fortune co-exist' There are naturally dangers present along with the presents. None of the ancestors want their legacies to all into the hands of incapable people. So, the danger goes from suffering light injuries to losing one's life. That's why you should also be prepared. The true treasures are only gained with the true dangers. You can't rely on your luck like in Death Valley." She spoke somenly.
" And as for the contestants, There are seven members in our team. Ten from my Elder Brother Qin Li and thirteen from younger brother Qin Cheng. It is decided by our respective performances till now by the Elders." Saying up till there, Qin Qing felt a wave of gratitude towards Sheng Tian. If not for Sheng Tian bringing the herb, she would have not got even seven positions.After all, Only 30 Members can enter every time the Ancestral Ground opens.
"Oh, Ok Miss. I shall help you. But, Let me make this clear. The Treasures I get shall be mine. The Jade seals and Token will be yours." Sheng Tian stated his condition. It is clear that he is after the treasures.
Qin Qing didn't hesitate much as she nodded her head but she asked "Alright, that will be the payment and I would allow it. Then you need to know something. Anyone other than the members of the Qin Clan would need the permission of the leader of their group to take the treasures with them.
Meaning, for members outside the Qin Clan, if they are not from the Sects or Royal Family, even with the permission, the Qin Clan would take half of the treasures of their choice openly. This is a rule. And if it is something regarding the Ancestor's personal secrets, they won't hesitate to get it by any means."
Sheng Tian merely laughed in response. His face was still in disguise but the confidence in his laughter wasn't masked. He said with a smile " I won't be having a problem with that then." With the Snow Glazing lotus, He would have no problem if he could just pretend that he got some average treasures. It's not like the ones outside will know that he is hiding them.
Qin Qing thought that he was from the Sect or the Royal Family to have such confidence but since he didn't mention it, she too didn't pry.
After seeing her agreeing to his conditon without much hesitating, He guessed her situation must be rather bad, if not no one would agree so easily.
She was only hoping to win and is not bothered much about the treasures. And practically speaking, the chances of her winning are quite low due to the tough competetion from her brothers and low number of contestants in her team. The only way for her to win is to find those Jade Seals at any cost.
Then Qin Qing told him some other details and informed him that the prelude has to be attended by the contestants.
Before leaving, He asked one last question " Why didn't you pick stronger members? Like, Sky Realm or Emperor Realm? And Why me?"
Qin Qing shook her head and laughed lightly " It's not that I don't want to, it's because I can't. There is age restriction of 25. And the Cultivation must be less than Sky Profound Realm. And I feel that having you on the team would increase the chance of success even if you are the weakest of the group. I trust my self." Then Sheng Tian left. Weakest of the Group? It seemed like everyone would be in the Earth Realm.
However, Right after he stepped outside and walked for a minute, He paused with his face showing a comical expression.
"Hey, What's Wrong?" Xiao Lian asked Sheng Tian whose mouth was wide open enough to put a pigeon's egg as she woke up from meditation.
"This guy…." He mumbled, "How the hell did he get here?" and finally he exclaimed.
"Huh?" Xiao Lian used her Divine Sense to see what's making this guy flustered and she saw was a Handsome Young Man with a Beautiful Maiden walking hand in hand. They had a charm making them seem as the golden couple.
But Xiao Lian didn't get why this guy would be shocked. She thought back to all the events in the past 3 months and then exclaimed "Oh! He is that guy from the Inn"
