Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

"What? Junior Brother is at the peak of Foundation Establishment?"

Just then, a gasp came from outside the door.

Everyone turned to look and saw three stunningly beautiful figures slowly walking towards them.

The woman at the head of the group wore a white robe, seemingly untouched by worldly affairs, with a cool and indifferent expression and an otherworldly aura.

She is none other than Qin Quan's master, Su Qingyan.

The gentle and refined woman on the left is the senior sister, Xia Ruoxi.

The one on the right, looking so dashing, is Second Senior Sister Ling Yuyan.

Upon seeing the three women, Qin Quan's expression changed drastically. He stared directly at Su Qingyan, his tone carrying a hint of defiant arrogance.

"Su Qingyan, Xia Ruoxi, you've come here for the artificial spirit stones I possess, haven't you?"

"Junior brother, how dare you speak to Master and Senior Sister like that? Watch your address and attitude."

Ling Yuyan frowned and stepped forward, sternly rebuking him.

Qin Quan, however, turned a blind eye and couldn't help but speak out.

"My second senior sister risked her life to help me obtain the Spirit Gathering Grass. She deserves all the credit, so I welcome her with open arms. But you two abandoned me in Jincheng, ignoring my calls and WeChat messages. Do you know how I've been these past three years?"

"Now that you see I have a wealth of resources, you've come knocking on my door?"

"Junior Brother..."

"It's alright."

Su Qingyan raised her hand to stop Ling Yuyan from about to explode, her cool gaze sweeping over Qin Quan, a hint of barely perceptible relief hidden in her eyes.

"How did you spend those three years? You broke the seal, soaring from the early Foundation Establishment stage all the way to the peak, and you're about to form your core. Aren't you satisfied?"

"Su Qingyan, how dare you say that?"

Qin Quan stood firm, coldly retorting:

"Tell me, what exactly was the meaning behind that list you gave me back then?"

"I've traveled far and wide, arranging everything for you. What? Are you dissatisfied with my arrangements, you rebellious disciple? Or are your three senior sisters not good enough for you?"

Su Qingyan wouldn't tolerate him, and said coldly:

"If I hadn't sealed your cultivation beforehand, you would have exploded and died long ago. And you still have the nerve to question me?"

Qin Quan was speechless for a moment, and his arrogance immediately diminished by half.

He knew in his heart that he had to overcome three tribulations of lightning in order to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

For cultivators undergoing tribulation, there is a near-certain death rate; the success rate is almost zero.

But that wasn't what he was thinking about; instead, he was thinking about the special physique that Su Qingyan had found for him.

This includes three senior female students.

He doesn't feel guilty about cultivating with Lin Wanrou and Jiang Yao, but he feels uncomfortable about cultivating with his three senior sisters.

Su Qingyan seemed to see through Qin Quan's thoughts and immediately gave the order:

"Now, immediately distribute one hundred spirit stones to each of your senior sisters."

"knew!"

Qin Quan pursed her lips, looking unwilling.

His third senior sister gave him five Golden Elixir Fruits, so it was only right that she give him a hundred more.

His second senior sister accompanied him through Hunter's Valley and fought against the White Eagle Alliance, risking her life together. She was willing to give him a hundred spirit stones.

But the eldest senior sister didn't contribute at all, so why should she get a share of the spirit stones?

Lin Wanrou, standing to the side, took in everything that was happening before her.

Yesterday, she was secretly thinking that she should take back all the spirit stones and not let Qin Quan give them away to others at will.

At this moment, watching him distribute spirit stones to his fellow disciples, she could only take deep breaths repeatedly to comfort herself.

Since everyone is a fellow disciple, even if he gives away 300 spirit stones, Qin Quan will still have 600 in his hands, so he can't get angry.

You must not get angry.

After several attempts to calm herself down, Lin Wanrou managed to suppress all the bitterness in her heart.

Seeing this, Su Qingyan could only soften her expression and speak up to defuse the situation.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's have a reunion dinner first, and then we can talk about spiritual practice."

"good!"

After his anger subsided, Qin Quan's tone softened as well.

He turned to look at Su Qingyan, with a hint of dependence in his eyes.

"Master."

"What is it?"

"I have prepared a banquet at Haihong International in advance. All the ingredients are top-notch. Please, Master and all senior sisters, come to Haihong International for the banquet."

A faint smile appeared in Su Qingyan's cool eyes.

"That's more like it."

Without any delay, the group turned around and walked towards the door.

Qin Quan turned to look at the sullen Lin Wanrou, his expression gentle, and asked with a smile:

"Boss lady, want to join us?"

"I couldn't have gotten it."

Lin Wanrou thought Qin Quan wouldn't take her along, so upon hearing the invitation, she immediately put down what she was doing and quickly followed.

It was evening.

Haihong International's top-tier private room.

Song Hongyan had already made the arrangements according to Qin Quan's instructions. The table was filled with exquisite delicacies, with the finest ingredients from the mountains and seas.

Xia Ruoxi raised her glass first and spoke gently.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunion. I propose that we all use our junior brother's wine to toast our master."

"Respect your teacher!"

Ling Yuyan, Gao Yuan, Lin Wanrou, and Jiang Yao all raised their glasses in response.

Qin Quan, holding a wine glass, spoke with a grin.

"Master, now that all the disciples of Yuquan Temple have gathered, the sect is growing stronger day by day."

Su Qingyan shook her head helplessly, seeing through the boy's thoughts at a glance.

"The moment you lift your butt, I know you're up to something."

Without beating around the bush, she raised her hand and activated her spiritual power. The treasure bag flashed, and two ancient longswords landed in her palm. The sword energy was restrained and heavy, clearly indicating that they were inherited magical artifacts.

"This sword is named Frostbite. It is the natal magic weapon of the seventh patriarch of Yuquan Temple. Its yin and cold spiritual power is pure and rich, perfectly matching Wanrou's pure yin body. Today, I, your master, bestow it upon you, wishing you a speedy success in your foundation building."

Lin Wanrou's eyes lit up, and she bowed in greeting.

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this treasure."

Beside him, Jiang Yao stared intently at another longsword, her eyes shining with unwavering certainty.

If Lin Wanrou was able to obtain the patriarch's sword, then this remaining one must be for her.

As expected, Su Qingyan turned to look at Jiang Yao and handed her a second longsword.

"This sword is named Jinghong. It is the natal sword of the ninth generation patriarch of the temple. Its killing power is extremely strong. Today, I, your master, bestow it upon you. I hope you will uphold your true heart and punish evil and promote good."

"Thank you, Master!"

Jiang Yao quickly took the sword, her fingertips tracing its blade, overjoyed.

Since joining Hidden Dragon, her only weapon has been the Dragon Sparrow Blade.

Even though the Jiang family gave their all, they never possessed a single immortal cultivation sword.

Now, thanks to Qin Quan, she has easily obtained the sect's inherited magic sword.

Jiang Yao secretly felt smug.

The elders of the Jiang family were short-sighted and rigidly adhered to the rules of the aristocratic family. They insisted on forcing her to marry into the Qin family and marry that good-for-nothing Qin Lang.

Little did they know, Qin Quan was their true backer.

"Come, come, let's drink and eat, and let's toast our Master again."

With his goal achieved, Qin Quan was in high spirits.

Raise your glass and actively liven up the atmosphere.

At 10 p.m., the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner came to a perfect end.

Lin Wanrou and Jiang Yao returned with a full load of goodies, and were officially registered in the Yuquan Temple's disciple register, becoming Su Qingyan's direct disciples.

From this day forward, they will devote themselves to the Tao and no longer be bound by worldly rules and regulations.

Su Qingyan looked around at everyone present and said, "Ruoxi, Yuyan, and Gaoyuan, the three of you will return to Ziyun Mountain with me tomorrow to cultivate in seclusion. We hope that when your junior brother breaks through to the Golden Core stage, you can also break through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Your disciple will obey your instructions."

Xia Ruoxi and the other two bowed and accepted the order. They were obedient and followed Su Qingyan's instructions without question, unlike Qin Quan who was arrogant and disobedient.

They each received a hundred spirit stones. If they still couldn't break through their cultivation realm despite having such resources, it would truly be a huge joke.

Su Qingyan turned to look at Qin Quan, her eyes flashing coldly as she warned in a deep voice:

"Don't be too happy yet. When you try to break through to the Golden Core Realm, you'll have to go back to Purple Cloud Mountain to undergo your tribulation."

Qin Quan suppressed his smile, stood up straight, and said seriously:

"Your disciple will obey your instructions."
