I was banned by the Revitalization event.

In this case.

If he does whatever he wants, it will probably be for a lifetime.

Chapter 356 Five Hundred Million: Which Table Should We Sit At?

Qin Luo and Jiang Qiaomiao walked slowly toward the Jiang family's banquet.

along the way.

The girl took his arm and whispered to him about the rules for the Jiang family banquet, as well as which relatives would be coming over to exchange pleasantries, so that he could prepare in advance.

"Just call those distant uncles and aunts after me, and I'll greet them first."

"If they try to persuade you to drink, just say you won't; they won't force you."

“Generally, the seats for ancestral worship are arranged according to cultivation level. Those in the early stage of Qi Refining sit together, those in the middle stage of Qi Refining sit together, and so on. Of course, couples can sit together, and children can sit with their parents.”

Jiang Qiaomiao counted them off one by one on her fingers.

He looked very attentive.

It's like taking a child to a party for the first time.

Qin Luo suppressed a laugh, simply holding her hand and listening quietly, so that Jiang Qiaomiao could feel a sense of accomplishment.

But listening to these rules...

He was reminded of the pop-up ads he often saw on his phone, about a useless son-in-law attending his grandfather's birthday celebration, who was harassed by a snobbish security guard because he was wearing baggy shorts and flip-flops, but upon entering, he suddenly announced loudly which table he should sit at for giving a 500 million gift...

It feels very familiar.

They arrived together at the main hall of the Jiang family home, where the banquet hall was bustling with activity.

Qin Luo had originally thought there would be a question about cultivation level, allowing him to ask, "Which table do people in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm sit at?" However, Jiang Qiaomiao's father, Jiang Hongtu, came over, and the father-in-law, beaming with joy, led the two to the front table, while he accompanied his mother-in-law to sit in the back.

This is the frontmost table, slightly smaller than the others, but exquisite.

Su Yanrou and Jiang Qiaoxi are already there.

My beautiful master is dressed in a white dress today, and her gentle and beautiful appearance is just as it was before.

The little girl was folding paper boats with a napkin. When she saw Qin Luo and her sister coming over, she happily and quietly waved.

Besides them.

The only stranger at this table was the Jiang family patriarch.

The elderly man with wrinkled face and white hair was wearing a blue Tang suit. He was in high spirits, with a bright complexion and a radiant appearance.

"Ancestor," Jiang Qiaomiao quickly greeted in a low voice.

The patriarch of the Jiang family...

The strongest member of the Jiang family broke through to the highest Tai Xu realm at the age of only 130, dominating his era and serving as the pillar of stability for the Jiang family for a century.

The Jiang family patriarch rarely appears, and Jiang Qiaomiao has only met him twice.

"You don't need to be so formal."

The patriarch of the Jiang family smiled kindly, stroked his beard, and looked around the dining table.

"At the ancestral worship ceremony three years ago, I was the only one at this table. Although it looked grand, I felt it was empty. Now, the Jiang family is producing many talented people, which is a good thing. When I pass away peacefully, this world will belong to you all."

"No way, Great-Grandpa is still very young," Jiang Qiaoxi said with a smile.

"If only it were like that."

The old ancestor laughed heartily, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

Qin Luo sized up the Jiang family patriarch.

In his view, the old man's cultivation level was around the late Foundation Establishment stage, roughly corresponding to the mid-stage of the Great Void Realm in this era.

The foundation has a lifespan of over two hundred years.

This old man has protected the Jiang family for a century, and it is clear that his days are numbered.

If you have time...

Let's help him out.

The luncheon began, and contrary to Qin Luo's expectations, there were no chaotic events. The first feast for ancestor worship seemed to be just a gathering for everyone to eat together, so that the spirits of the ancestors in heaven could see the thriving Jiang family.

There were about ten people at each of the other tables.

They were the only ones here, and although the table was small, they were still all alone.

Qin Luo held a crab leg and ate it slowly, then looked at the faces of the pretty girls next to him one by one.

Jiang Qiaomiao, early stage of Taixu.

She wasn't very talented; she was just average. Qin Luo forced her to improve.

Based on the quantity and frequency given to her, if it were a girl from the Hehuan Sect, she would at least have reached the Great Perfection of the Taixu Realm, making her invincible in one direction.

Jiang Qiaoxi, early stage of Taixu.

The little girl has quite a talent and a strong understanding of cultivation.

However, she joined a little later, so she didn't have many opportunities to cultivate.

Then there's the beautiful master...

"Master, when did you become so weak?" Qin Luo sucked on a crab leg.

When we last met, she was only at the mid-stage of the Divine Realm.

It's only been a few weeks since I last saw her, and she's already crossed a major realm and broken through to the level of the Jiang family's patriarch?

"I'm sitting here because of the Ancestor's arrangement. The Ancestor said that both of my disciples have entered the Tai Xu realm, and if my master's cultivation level is lower than theirs, it will make the Su family look bad." Su Yanrou sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

The apprentice surpasses the master.

Such things are not uncommon and occur frequently in the spiritual community.

But they've been practicing way too fast...

Qin Luo would often stay at her house for one night, and the next morning, Su Yanrou would find that her disciples had crossed two minor realms. The speed at which they leveled up was astonishing. Moreover, the realms they had cultivated through this unorthodox path were exceptionally stable, with a foundation as solid as a rock. Her two little disciples had so much spiritual energy that it was overflowing, and they even needed to use band-aids.

This made her, as her master, feel somewhat lost and helpless.

There's nothing more to teach.

"Master, why don't you practice the Tribulation Abyss Technique too? I don't mind teaching one more person," Qin Luo said shyly.

This is not because I'm lusting after my master's gentle body.

I want to exchange techniques with my beautiful mentor and improve together.

"Dream on."

Su Yanrou smiled faintly and gently patted his forehead with her paper fan.

She is the master. If she were to get involved with her disciple, it would be disgraceful. If word got out, she would lose all dignity as a teacher.

"Young friend Qin, is this Tribulation Abyss Technique your unique skill?"

The seat next to me.

"The Jiang family patriarch said calmly, with a kind smile."

"This is a family heirloom technique. It was supposed to have been lost by my grandfather's generation, but fortunately it was revived." Qin Luo nodded.

"Well then, I have a favor to ask, may I... borrow your cultivation technique to take a look?"

The old ancestor hesitated for a long time before reluctantly speaking, clearly finding it difficult to borrow something from a junior. "Of course, I know that the cultivation technique is of great significance. I can swear on my Dao Realm that I will never reveal any information to outsiders. Furthermore, you can make any requests you have regarding the Jiang family's cultivation techniques and resources in exchange."

"Is your time coming up?"

Qin Luo noticed the urgency in the old man's cloudy eyes and asked quietly.

Those who cultivate immortality all seek longevity.

Therefore, the least open-minded people in the human world are actually the immortals. They constantly cultivate and break through their limits in order to defy the heavens and try their best to live as long as heaven and earth.

The Jiang family patriarch nodded with shame.

A sigh.

He didn't want to show such an ugly side, but his time was up and he couldn't wait any longer.

"I observed the stars last night, and I estimate that I have less than two years left to live. If I cannot break through within two years, my path will likely come to an end."

“Ancestor, it’s not that I don’t want to teach you.”

Qin Luo organized his thoughts and said, "The Calamity Abyss Technique is an evil technique, the Heavenly Scroll is a female technique, and men who practice it will explode and die. The Earthly Scroll is inherited in my lineage from birth, existing in the body of the Heavenly Cycle, and cannot be passed on to outsiders."

Chapter 367 It's time for dual cultivation, Master.

The Tribulation Abyss Technique is the foundation of his livelihood, and he would never pass it on to outsiders.

As for prolonging life, Qin Luo did have several methods, but the ancestor was not related to him. It was Jiang Hongtu, not the ancestor, who provided him with financial support. Qin Luo also infused Jiang Hongtu's daughter with spiritual power as a way of repaying him, so they were even.

To put it bluntly, he's willing to help, but as for seeing the cultivation techniques, he doesn't have that kind of relationship with the ancestor.

"I have offended you."

The Jiang family patriarch clasped his hands and bowed gently.

Whether Qin Luo's words were true or just an excuse, the path to breaking through using ingenious methods was now closed.

What the future holds remains to be seen.

However, after this family banquet, he will probably have to focus on cultivation again and go into seclusion for a long time.

An hour later.

The banquet ended in a peaceful atmosphere.

Because the seating arrangements were based on cultivation level, most of the people sitting together were of similar age. These younger generation members exchanged cultivation experiences and shared interesting stories from all over the world, which fostered friendships and further solidified the bonds between the Jiang family members.

When the banquet ended.

The Jiang family patriarch stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Xiao Rou, your disciples are all more powerful than you. Don't fall behind in your cultivation of the Tribulation Abyss Technique."
