It took Qin Feng and his group nearly a month to travel across several immortal realms before finally arriving at the Purple Origin Immortal Realm.
The Purple Origin Immortal Realm truly lives up to its reputation as an immortal realm close to the Central Heaven Immortal Realm. The concentration of immortal energy here is much richer than in their previous immortal realms, and it is also more prosperous.
Dongfang Zhengyu led Qin Feng and the others directly back to the Dongfang family.
The Dongfang family is very large, and each clan owns its own city called Rising Sun City, which symbolizes the rising sun and the continued glory of the Dongfang family.
When the members of the Dongfang family saw Dongfang Zhengyu arrive with several strangers, they didn't dare to ask any questions and simply bowed politely.
Dongfang Zhengyu said to Qin Feng and the other two:
"My three young friends, there is still one month before we can explore the Purple Origin Crystal together. Why don't you stay at the Dongfang family's place for now?"
"Since you saved Yue'er, it's a good time to treat you to a proper meal. The Purple Origin Immortal Realm has many unique delicacies; take this opportunity to sample them."
Dongfang Yue was completely relieved to see her home and exclaimed:
"Yes, Qin Feng, Ling'er, Yuexi, you can stay at my house. I'll show you around. This Rising Sun City belongs to the Dongfang family."
Qin Feng thought for a moment and then agreed, "Then I'll have to bother you."
Dongfang Zhengyu waved his hand and said seriously:
"Young friend, it's only right. You must be tired from traveling all this time. Please get some rest, and I'll host a banquet for you later."
Without waiting for Qin Feng's response, he beckoned to his servants to take them to rest.
Dongfang Zhengyu turned to Dongfang Yue and said, "Yue'er, come with me to see your mother first. She's been so worried about you lately."
Dongfang Yue nodded obediently and followed the instructions.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng and his two companions arrived at the arranged villa.
Ao Ling asked, "Brother Feng, are we just going to stay at the Dongfang family's place like this?"
Qin Feng shook his head. "How could that be? We'll just go to other places tomorrow and come back before the agreed time."
Time quickly passed and evening arrived.
Qin Feng and his two companions were invited to a luxurious hall, which was decorated in a very grand manner.
They met Dongfang Zhengyu and Dongfang Yue, as well as many other people they didn't recognize, young and old.
Judging from their attire and demeanor, many of them are probably powerful figures in the Dongfang family.
Qin Feng thought it was just a simple welcome banquet, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated. He didn't know what to say.
When Dongfang Yue saw them, she waved and called out, "Over here."
Her shout drew everyone's attention to Qin Feng and his group.
While waving to Qin Feng and the other two, Dongfang Zhengyu took the opportunity to introduce them:
"These three young friends are the ones who bravely rescued Yue'er. They are also outstanding juniors. This banquet is specially prepared for them."
Upon hearing this, the members of the Dongfang family scrutinized Qin Feng and his companions with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity.
Helpless, Qin Feng led Leng Yuexi and Ao Ling to sit at the main table on Dongfang Zhengyu's side.
"Senior, there's no need to make such a big fuss."
Dongfang Zhengyu said solemnly:
“It’s very necessary. You’ve done me a favor by saving Yue’er, and you’ve also done the Dongfang family a favor.”
Besides, we need to tell them about your participation in the Purple Origin Crystal exploration anyway, so we might as well take this opportunity to say so as well.”
Qin Feng immediately understood. Although Dongfang Zhengyu said to be prepared to leave empty-handed, it was still a rare opportunity, and he couldn't just give it away for no reason.
The two made no attempt to conceal their conversation, and all the members of the Dongfang family present heard it, their expressions varying.
Someone couldn't help but ask immediately, "Patriarch, are you referring to the once-in-a-decade opportunity to explore the Purple Source Mine?"
Dongfang Zhengyu simply said, "That's right, I have already promised my three young friends that I will take them with me this time."
"But the spots have already been decided, right?"
Without hesitation, Dongfang Zhengyu said:
"That's easy. I've already thought about it. Based on past experience, many people have returned empty-handed."
If anyone voluntarily gives up their spot this time, I will compensate them with other resources. But is anyone willing to do so?
Dongfang Zhengyu thought that someone would immediately respond to his suggestion, since even if they participated, they might leave empty-handed, while giving up a spot would provide stable compensation.
Doing this is actually a good deal; it can also win him favor, so many people should be happy to do it.
But to his surprise, one of the hundred people who had already secured a spot withdrew voluntarily, which made him lose face.
Dongfang Zhengyu blushed. He had promised Qin Feng and the other two that he would not change his promise.
He cursed these people for being so ignorant.
In fact, he overlooked one problem: the Dongfang family was wealthy and had no shortage of resources. The special effects of the Purple Origin Crystal were actually more attractive to these geniuses.
Even if there are some opportunities, they want to seize them.
The room fell silent; the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Dongfang Zhengyu realized he had miscalculated and changed his strategy. "Very well, no one is willing, right? The three ranked last, give up your spots."
Before anyone could react, he directly called out, "Dongfang Siyao, Dongfang Junjie, and Dongfang Jiaqian, do you three have any objections?"
The three of them, Dongfang Siyao and Dongfang Siyao, looked bitter. They were unwilling and dared not contradict the patriarch.
Dongfang Junjie frowned and turned to look at his father.
Knowing his son's thoughts, Dongfang Bo tentatively suggested:
"Patriarch, we should be grateful that they saved Yue'er's life. We can repay them in other ways, why must we use a quota?"
Dongfang Jiaqian's father, Dongfang Zhan, echoed:
“Yes, Patriarch, this is also a rare opportunity for the younger generation of the Dongfang family. We can consider compensating them in another way.”
