"yes, what's the problem? No, how can you know the order of the Qin family's generations so well, you won't be also a child of the Qin family, right? Qin Xingbao blurted out his head when he heard this, and his expression became stunned.

"I'm sorry, my name is Qin Ziling, and I also came to Wuzhou to participate in the Qin family's ancestor worship ceremony." Qin Ziling looked at Qin Xingbao with a smile on his face and said.

Qin Xingbao looked at Qin Ziling who was smiling, his expression froze suddenly, his bearded face turned red unconsciously, and after a while, Qin Xingbao arched his hand at Qin Ziling and said, "Xingbao has seen Uncle Clan." ”

"No excuses." Qin Ziling smiled and waved his hand, and then said, "Since you have been to Wuzhou, you must know how the Qin Mansion has left?" ”

"Yes, Uncle Clan can go with me." Qin Xingbao quickly returned to normal and grinned.

"That's right, I'm just about to ask someone for directions." Qin Ziling said......

"Hehe, I and my uncle are destined to meet each other so coincidentally. By the way, Uncle Clan, how old are you this year? After losing the embarrassment at the beginning, Qin Xingbao quickly became cheerful and talkative again.

"Twenty-six." Qin Ziling replied as he shook the reins and drove his horse into the city.

Seeing this, Qin Xingbao hurriedly chased after him, and rode side by side with Qin Ziling: "Uncle Clan is so young, I am already thirty-two years old. I don't know what kind of cultivation Uncle Clan is now? ”

The last time Qin Ziling just made a move, those bad guys were swept away by Qin Xingbao like autumn wind sweeping leaves, Qin Ziling just threw a few people with some brute force, and he didn't have a chance to use his strength at all, so Qin Xingbao didn't know what kind of cultivation he was.

"Late stage of bone refining." Qin Ziling replied.

Hearing this, Qin Xingbao's body shook slightly on the horse's back, and then said with admiration and envy: "Then you are much more powerful than me, I am only in the middle stage of bone refining, you will definitely become the key child of the family this time, and even the core child may not be." ”

"You are also very powerful, at the age of thirty-two, you are already a great martial artist in the middle stage of bone refining." Qin Ziling said.

Qin Ziling's words were not perfunctory to Qin Xingbao.

Cui Shanhe was very powerful back then, but he only became a bone refining martial artist at the age of twenty-nine, and now Qin Xingbao is already a great martial artist in the middle stage of bone refining at the age of thirty-two, and it is obvious that the root bone talent is not bad for Cui Shanhe.

"In Qingjunzhou, like me, the martial arts talent is relatively powerful, but in Wuzhou, it is not enough to be powerful. I don't know if I can squeeze into the ranks of key disciples this time, if I can squeeze in, then I am expected to be a martial arts master, otherwise with my family background, it is still very difficult to become a martial arts master. Qin Xingbao said, with a look of gain and loss.

Qin Ziling was not too surprised when he heard this, like Cui Shanhe was very powerful in Qinghe County, but if he hadn't met him, with the Cui family's background, unless there was a big opportunity, it would be basically impossible to become a martial arts master.

With innate conditions such as root bone talent, what is more difficult is the investment and cultivation of acquired resources.

Even because the entry threshold for martial arts is relatively low, acquired resources and cultivation are more important.

"What are the key children, the core children?" Qin Ziling asked.

"The core disciples are the children that the Qin family attaches the most importance to and cultivates the most, and they can even eat some flesh and blood supplements of the five grade beasts every once in a while, and of course, there are many other good resources to improve their cultivation.

However, the core disciples are generally selected from the direct descendants of the family master's lineage, and the children of other branch lineages, unless they are particularly outstanding and absolutely expected to be in the realm of grandmasters, will be selected into the core disciples.

The key children are to select talented people among all the children of the Qin family. Like Uncle Clan, you are only twenty-six years old and you are already a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining, there must be key disciples, as for whether you can be selected as a core disciple, it is difficult to say. Qin Xingbao explained.

"So there are so many exquisitenesses!" Qin Ziling said.

"That's for sure, even if the Wuzhou Qin family has a big business, it can't afford to squander it at will, and it must be to use good resources on the promising children, so as to ensure the longevity of the family.

Qin Xingbao said.

Qin Ziling nodded approvingly.

A few years ago, he personally took the time to select and eliminate people and horses in Yunluo Lake, in fact, in order to use good resources for promising subordinates.

"By the way, where does Uncle Clan's family live? Which vein does it belong to? Qin Xingbao quickly asked again.

"My family is in Xiyun Prefecture, and my great-grandfather and the grandfather of the current head of the family are half-brothers." Qin Ziling replied.

"Then you are a branch of the head of the family, even if you are not a direct descendant of the head of the family, but you are much closer than me. With your qualifications and talents, if you work hard, you may really hope to be selected as a core child.

If you can be selected as a core disciple, you will be able to eat the flesh and blood of a five-grade beast every three or five times, and that clan uncle will definitely be able to hope for the grandmaster realm. Once you become a martial arts master, you will be the elder of the family, and you will be the real high power. ”

Qin Xingbao was first taken aback when he heard this, and then his face was full of envy, and even when he talked about the five-grade beast, his eyes were shining, and he swallowed his saliva.

"The key disciple can go through the dirty exercises, right?" Qin Ziling smiled noncommittally, and then asked.

He now does not lack the flesh and blood of the five-grade beasts, what he lacks is the exercises.

As long as the key disciple can be qualified to read the exercises of the dirty part of the refining, it will be enough for him.

If you really want to get a core disciple, you not only have to expose your strength and secrets, but you will definitely have a greater responsibility for the Wuzhou Qin family on your shoulders in the future.

Qin Ziling still has a very limited understanding of the Qin family, and he hasn't even met the clansmen who are really in power in the Qin family, so he naturally doesn't want to get too involved in the affairs of the Qin family.

"Of course, the key children are all cultivated as candidates for martial arts grandmasters. If you are not allowed to read the dirty exercises, how can you become a martial arts master? However, it is said that the key disciples who have cultivated to the late stage of bone refining can only read one dirty practice according to the regulations. Qin Xingbao replied.

"Really? Can't flip through the second door? Qin Ziling frowned slightly when he heard this.

Last time, Qin Tianchou was anxious to finish the matter within two months and rush back, so he didn't stay long in Qin's house and rushed to Nandingzhou, which was occupied by the rebels, and Qin Ziling didn't have time to ask about many things.

"It should be possible, but it must be conditional. The cultivation of children at every level in the family has a certain specification, and if it exceeds the specification, it needs to be exchanged for merit or something else, and it is impossible to give it in vain. Like me, I broke through at the age of twenty-nine to become a great martial artist of bone refining, and at that time I came to the Qin family in Wuzhou to report, and was approved as a first-class disciple. The family gave me some cultivation resources and guidance according to this specification.

By the way, after the key children, they are also divided into Class A and B, and after Class B, the family generally does not pay too much attention and needs to seek a way out by themselves. Of course, if it is a direct descendant of the main line, no matter how poor the talent is, the family will pay attention to and cultivate it, and ensure that there is no need for food and clothing for a lifetime. Qin Xingbao replied.

Hearing this, Qin Ziling nodded to show that he understood, but he was thinking in his heart: "No wonder my great grandfather moved to Xiyun Prefecture back then, it seems that he belongs to the kind of side children with poor talents." And because Qin Tianchou is the nephew of the current head of the family, even if he has no talent, he has a transcendent status in the family, and he is escorted by a great martial artist and a great qi refiner when he travels and errands. ”

"Hey, Uncle Clan, you are a branch of the main lineage, why don't you know any of this?" Qin Xingbao realized it later.

"Our family has been in a single line since my great-grandfather, my grandfather and father passed away when I was a child, if it weren't for the continuation of the family tree of the Qin family in Wuzhou, I wouldn't have known that my Qin family's temple was in Wuzhou." Qin Ziling replied.

"In this way, the clan uncle has not received the support of the Qin family of Wuzhou before this, and he has relied on his own ability to cultivate to the current realm!" Qin Xingbao was first surprised when he heard this, and then he was in awe.

For Qin Xingbao, Qin Ziling can be regarded as a self-made man, but he is sheltered under the big tree of the Qin family in Wuzhou, and with their help, he is where he is today.

Qin Ziling smiled noncommittally.

While chatting, the two entered the city.

Qin Xingbao is a talkative person, and he admires Qin Ziling's uncle very much, UU reads books, so he talks non-stop along the way, but Qin Ziling understands a lot of things about the Qin family in Wuzhou.

However, the more he understood, the more surprised Qin Ziling was with the Qin family's power.

As they spoke, the two rode strange beast horses through the wide streets of the road.

Most of the people encountered along the way were ordinary people, but the number of martial artists and qi refiners was much higher than that of other states and counties.

Even the grandmasters that were rarely encountered in other states and counties, along the way, Qin Ziling discovered several with his keen five senses.

Soon, the two of them rode strange beast horses to a mansion.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a mansion than a castle.

The 20-meter-wide moat and the tens of meters high walls protect the palaces, courtyards, and gardens inside.

The mansion covers an area of 8,000 acres, with eight suspension bridges falling down the river and leading to eight gate exits.

From time to time, pedestrian carriages enter and exit through the gate.

"This is the Qin Mansion! Outside the state city, the Qin family has another city, named Qin City, which is even bigger than this, and it is also where the ancestral land of the Qin family is located. A month later, the ancestor worship ceremony was held in Qincheng. Qin Xingbao stood by the moat and pointed to the city within the city on the other side of the river and said.

Before Qin Xingbao's words fell, Qin Ziling felt two surging and powerful qi and blood surging from far and near behind him.

Then he saw a young man riding a silver dragon horse onto the drawbridge.

Silver dragon horse, four-grade beast horse, silver-colored, dragon-headed horse-body, horse's hooves are dragon claws, and when they fall, there are clouds and smoke under the hooves.

The young man on horseback was dressed in white, and under his sword eyebrows was a pair of slender and sharp black eyes, his face was expressionless, as cold as if carved out of marble.

The pedestrians on the drawbridge, as well as the guards guarding the gate, saw the man riding over, and they all gave way to both sides and bowed.
