The next morning.
Qin Yang finished washing up and opened his bedroom door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw an old man, grinning foolishly with excitement, standing at his doorstep.
"Grand Elder, what are you doing standing at my door so early in the morning? And smiling like that..."
Qin Yang raised an eyebrow and said with a peculiar expression.
This old man's smile resembled that of someone peaking through a beauty's door, filled with excitement and lewdness. Thinking about this, Qin Yang felt a deep chill because this old man was standing right at his doorstep.
"Young Qin, Young Qin..."
The Grand Elder called out excitedly twice.
"Ahem, Grand Elder, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you standing so close?"
Qin Yang coughed lightly and said.
"I, I broke through. I've advanced to the Celestial Tier, hahaha..."
The Grand Elder waved his hands and feet excitedly, laughing aloud to himself. His voice was clear and exuberant, waking up those still asleep with his joyous laughter.
This old man, early in the morning, wouldn't let others sleep.
"Young Qin, I've broken through."
The Grand Elder's face was full of joy. Last night, after returning to his room and consuming the small Primordial Spirit Pill, he finally broke through the barrier to the Celestial Tier and successfully joined the ranks of Celestial Tier experts.
"Yes, yes, I know, I know."
Qin Yang nodded indifferently, wondering how many times this old man would repeat himself.
At this moment, Ling Quan, Ling Feng, and others came over from upstairs, sensing the Celestial Tier aura of the Grand Elder, each of them was extremely excited.
The Ling Family now had two Celestial Tier masters!
Each of them first congratulated the Grand Elder, then expressed their gratitude to Qin Yang.
The breakfast was unusually lavish at the Ling Family.
Qin Yang, Ling Quan, Grand Elder Ling Yue, and a few others sat around the table.
"Uncle Ling, is the Ling Family really planning to give up on the Spirit Jade Ore Vein?"
Qin Yang asked.
"Yes, our Ling Family doesn't plan to fight for it anymore."
Ling Quan nodded heavily.
"After this incident, I've understood that the Spirit Jade Ore Vein is too precious for our Ling Family to occupy. Without sufficient strength, it would only bring disaster to us."
Ling Quan sighed and said.
In the face of those powerful superpowers, the Ling Family is indeed vulnerable. Of course, superpowers can't easily eradicate low-level forces, as that would ruin their reputation. Usually, it's forces of the same level that clash, which is why the Ancient Sword Sect only severely injured him instead of killing him.
"Uncle Ling, I'm not sure how much Spirit Jade the ore vein contains."
Qin Yang asked.
"According to our survey, it's estimated to be about six or seven hundred cubic meters."
Ling Quan thought for a moment and said.
"Six or seven hundred cubic meters?!"
Qin Yang's eyes suddenly lit up. Six or seven hundred cubic meters is equivalent to the space of a two-story luxury villa, a considerable amount indeed.
The piece of Spirit Jade Qin Yang obtained previously was only two or three cubic meters.
"Uncle Ling, to be honest, Spirit Jade is of significant importance to me, so I need to confront the Ancient Sword Sect."
Qin Yang said excitedly.
"No, Young Qin, the Ancient Sword Sect is too powerful. They are not someone we can contend with. The Ancient Sword Sect has a Supreme Elder at the Innate Realm, this is likely the case."
Upon hearing this, Ling Quan shook his head vigorously. With an Innate Realm master overseeing, it is even more frightening than ten Celestial Tier Great Perfection masters.
"Yes, Young Qin, please reconsider."
The Grand Elder also urged anxiously. The Ancient Sword Sect is a superpower, not something ordinary people can provoke.
"Hehe, Uncle Ling, Grand Elder, I have my means. I just don't know the exact location of the White Dragon Mountain Range and White Dragon Creek."
Qin Yang smiled lightly and said.
Seeing Qin Yang's determination, Ling Quan smiled wryly, knowing he couldn't persuade him. He spoke up, "The White Dragon Mountain Range is to the southwest of Kunyu City, about 300 kilometers from here. The White Dragon Creek is deep within the mountain range, not easy to find. If you insist on going, I can guide you there."
"Hmm, okay, then I'll trouble Uncle Ling. Once we find the White Dragon Creek, I'll handle the rest."
Qin Yang nodded, excitedly.
When he seizes back the Spirit Jade Ore Vein from the Ancient Sword Sect, he'll set up an array for Ling Quan and others to cultivate, since the Ling Family were the first to discover it after all.
"Young Qin, if Spirit Jade is truly significant to you, our Ling Family still has some modest wealth. The Ling Family is willing to spend most of its fortune to purchase some Spirit Jade for you."
The Grand Elder Ling Yue said.
If Qin Yang healing Ling Quan's illness was beyond his expectation, then his plan to confront the Ancient Sword Sect was even more unimaginable.
"No need, that Spirit Jade Ore Vein itself is good enough. Now, let's eat."
Qin Yang said with a smile. On Earth, Spirit Jade is extremely rare, only occasionally appearing at large Ancient Martial Artist auctions, so even if the Ling Family tried to buy it, they wouldn't get much.
As Qin Yang, Ling Quan, and others were enjoying their sumptuous breakfast, a deluxe stretched Cadillac was driving towards the Ling Family estate, with four people inside the car.
Besides a driver dressed in black, the other three had strong auras: a young man, a middle-aged man, and an old man.
The young man in the white martial attire was named Wei Hong, a notorious playboy in Kunyu City. Beside Wei Hong sat the rough-looking middle-aged man, the Patriarch of the Wei Family, Wei Kun.
The elderly man sat in the last row of the stretched Cadillac, in a reddish-brown robe, resting with his eyes closed.
Wei Kun, Wei Hong, and others all belonged to the Wei Family of Kunyu City.
Like the Ling Family, the Wei Family is one of the few first-rate families in Kunyu City. The patriarch Wei Kun has already reached the peak of the Early Stage of the Celestial Tier.
"Father, will Ling Quan agree to our marriage proposal on this visit to the Ling Family?"
Wei Hong looked at Wei Kun beside him and asked.
"Hmph, he has no choice but to agree. Offending the Ancient Sword Sect, coupled with our constant suppression, must have left the Ling Family in a flurry by now. They would probably jump at the chance to ally with the Wei Family."
Wei Kun snorted, sneering.
"Father is right, that little girl Ling Xiaoyu is quite a beauty."
Wei Hong licked his lips, a lascivious gleam in his eyes.
"Hong'Er, remember, marrying Ling Xiaoyu is just the first step. The second step, hehe, that old fellow Ling Quan was struck by the Ice Sword Qi of the Ancient Sword Sect's second elder. Unless a Celestial Tier alchemist intervenes, he won't last a few days. Once he dies, the Ling Family will quickly drop to a second-rate family, and that's when the Wei Family will make its move."
Wei Kun stared intently at Wei Hong, speaking in a deep voice.
"Father is correct. Without the protection of Celestial Tier experts, I will become the Ling Family's son-in-law. Then my Wei Family will gradually devour the Ling Family. Hehe, the Ling Family has been in the Jadeite business for over a hundred years; their wealth must be astonishing."
As he spoke, a flicker of light shone in Wei Hong's eyes. Clearly, he was covetous of the wealth possessed by the Ling Family.
As Wei Hong and Wei Kun conversed, their car had already arrived in front of the Ling Family estate.
