At this moment, the protective barriers around the cave were removed, and a woman with an air of otherworldly grace emerged. She appeared to be around twenty years old, but her eyes were as deep as ancient wells, unlike those of a twenty-year-old woman. It was a contradiction, yet perfectly befitting someone from the world of cultivation.

After all, the geniuses of this world achieve great things at a young age, and even in their later years, they maintain the appearance of teenagers and young adults. Very few of them appear as old men.

"Thank you, Elder Fang. It's just a small token of my appreciation."

As Fang Ruotang stared curiously at Old Ancestor Qin, she was presented with a storage bag. Fang Ruotang subconsciously accepted it, and when she looked inside, even she, who was usually so wealthy and generous, was startled.

"So many good things?"

It should be good. Although she didn't recognize many of them, she recognized the top-grade spirit stones piled in the corner. Such good spirit stones were all piled in one corner, properly placed in the middle, occupying a good position. It was obvious that they were all excellent.

"It is only right. If it weren't for Elder Fang, I wouldn't have such good fortune. Elder Fang, you can always ask me for help in the future. This is a token of my Qin family."

The highest-ranking person in a family is the patriarch, and the highest-ranking person in a sect is the supreme elder. They will have family and sect tokens, which all disciples will recognize and obey.

Just as Fang Ruotang was feeling happy, three people suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Their appearance was quite abrupt, and it was clear that they all had very high cultivation levels.

"Ancestor Qin, congratulations! You are the first cultivator in over two thousand years in our Cloud Deep Continent to successfully break through to the Mahayana stage."

"Yes! Ancestor Qin, we're all on the same side. Why don't you tell us what magic weapon you used to get through it? May we borrow it?"

The robes on Qin Laozu's body were tattered, indicating that he had just narrowly escaped death.

The three of them arrived late and were unaware of what happened next. In fact, after the Heavenly Dao struck down more than twenty bolts of lightning and then suddenly went silent, they all thought that Ancestor Qin was gone.

Just as they were about to leave, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the Qin family's cave behind the mountain.

This is clearly a sign of successfully overcoming tribulation.

All three of them had reached the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending Stage, and their cultivation had been suppressed for a long time. They originally thought that the day they could no longer suppress their cultivation would be the day they died and their cultivation dissipated.

Suddenly, someone appears before them, successfully transcending the tribulation and reaching the Mahayana stage.

How could this not drive people mad?

These are the old monsters who are nearby and those who are farther away. Now that they've heard the news, they're all rushing here. They won't let go of any chance of successfully transcending the tribulation.

"You guys have such a big ego, asking to borrow money so casually."

Old Ancestor Qin stepped forward, facing the three people with his aura fully unleashed.

Protected by Qin Laozu, Fang Ruotang felt the protective shield around her and excitedly shared her experience with Xiao Jingzi.

Her protective shield looks much more solid than mine.

"Sir, this is the proper thing to do."

After all, being a terrestrial deity is not something to be taken lightly.

Although Ancestor Qin has just entered the Mahayana stage and his cultivation is not very stable, he is still not comparable to a nobody like Fang Ruotang.

Will I ever be as amazing as her?

[My lord, what are you saying? You will be a thousand times, a hundred times more powerful than her in the future, okay?]

[Oh, you always say that, but every time I encounter a skilled opponent, I can't win. I can't even imagine what you mean by a thousand times or a hundred times better.]

Little Mirror: ...

I'm new here.

There will always be areas where you're not yet proficient.

Besides, you're not even fully formed, how powerful do you think you are!

After secretly complaining, Xiao Jingzi happily started coaxing Fang Ruotang. Fang Ruotang loved to hear nice things, and Xiao Jingzi was very good at coaxing her.

With one master and one servant, their relationship is harmonious, and their friendship is steadily growing.

During the conversation, Fang Ruotang saw Qin Laozu suddenly fly into the sky and fight against three opponents.

The entire Qin family activated a protective formation to safeguard their home.

The fierce fighting above did not affect the people below who were watching the show at all. However, Qin Laozu quickly led the three people away.

She is, after all, a member of the Qin family. If a fight breaks out on Qin family territory, she will be the one who suffers the loss.

"Do you want to go help?"

Fang Ruotang was completely bewildered by the Qin family members who had been extremely anxious just moments before but were now remarkably calm.

"It's alright. In the cultivation world, even a small realm can make a world of difference in strength. Besides, our ancestor is a whole realm ahead of them. Once our ancestor's realm is stable, no one will dare to come and provoke him."

"Oh, that's good!"

Fang Ruotang gave a perfunctory reply.

Qin Bao'er said earnestly, "Elder Fang, please don't worry. Our Qin family is not an unrighteous family. You are not only our Qin family's honored elder, but also the benefactor of our Qin family's ancestor. We will definitely not betray you."

"It's not a matter of betraying anyone, it's fine if people talk about it." Fang Ruotang seemed indifferent, but none of the Qin family members really believed her.

In their eyes, Fang Ruotang was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers.

They had no idea how terrifying those unborn old monsters were.

Qin Bao'er could even imagine how chaotic the Cloud Deep Continent would be in the coming period because of her ancestor's ascension to the Mahayana stage, and her Qin family would be the first to bear the brunt.

Qin Bao'er is currently only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm and can't be of much help. Her main task is to keep Fang Ruotang company, so she accompanied her to the auction house the next day.

The Qin family's auction house has private rooms reserved for their own members.

Qin Bao'er led the person directly over to one of the rooms with the best view in the entire auction house, and even placed it at the very end to keep a low profile.
