CHAPTER 1027: CHAPTER 780: CHOICE_4

...

Purple Luo Heaven.

This place is extremely famous in the Hidden Dragon Star Domain, and many major powers choose this area for meetings or banquets, whether for sightseeing or hosting.

The Qin family is no exception.

When Gu Jinlai activated the formation and entered a separate space, which could be considered top-tier even within Purple Luo Heaven, a group from the Qin family was already waiting here.

The first thing that caught Gu Jinlai’s eyes was not those women, each with their unique styles and features.

Instead, it was a middle-aged man whose Great Dao was completely concealed, showing no apparent divine traits.

Yet, this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man appeared to have become an incarnation of the domain, fully occupying this separate space, as if he was the very space itself.

Upon entering this area, Gu Jinlai felt as if even his divine sense ability was hard to free from its confines.

"Honorable Daoist!"

Gu Jinlai immediately recognized it.

This perfection in controlling the Great Dao and the surroundings was unmistakably that of an Honorable Daoist.

With Great Dao compatibility reaching ten-tenths, there was no flaw except being overwhelmed by power; the Honorable Daoist was immortal and indestructible, imperishable and eternal.

And looking at his appearance...

With careful study of the Qin family data over the past month, he promptly recognized him.

The Qin Family Patriarch, Qin Daosheng!

Unexpectedly...

It was the Qin Family Patriarch himself!?

"Haha, Lord Gu has arrived, please sit."

Qin Daosheng showed none of the airs of an Honorable Daoist, immediately standing up to greet him warmly.

"Greetings, Venerable Daoist Qin."

Gu Jinlai dared not be negligent and hurried forward to pay his respects.

"No need for such formalities, no need for such formalities, soon we shall be family, addressing me as Daoist would be too formal. In the Qin family, among the Patriarch’s generation, we have a few Immortal generations, and then the disciples are divided into several generations. Once you become part of the Qin family, you’ll receive the focus of the direct lineage’s cultivation, just call me Uncle Dao Sheng."

Qin Daosheng said with a smile.

"Direct lineage... priority cultivation?"

Gu Jinlai was taken aback.

Isn’t this the clause of the second condition?

One of the conditions of this clause is to choose a member of the Qin family as a Daoist Companion.

Gu Jinlai’s gaze couldn’t help but fall on the four women, each with their beautiful colors and unique styles.

Among the four, one woman had an indifferent expression, sipping her flower tea, her eyes not straying.

The other three, however, were all stealthily evaluating him.

Seeing his gaze, they either shyly or gracefully returned his look.

One of the women even smiled and nodded at him.

Yet her demeanor was filled with a dignified quality, showing no signs of being frivolous or superficial.

"Haha, Lord Gu, I have great expectations for your future. Achieving Golden Immortal in one hundred and thirty years is not a matter; the key is raising the spiritual realm to the Tenth Rank in a hundred and thirty years. This fully demonstrates how exceptional Lord Gu’s talent is. If Lord Gu is willing to accept the Qin family’s unreserved support, in a millennium, you could even stand at the threshold of Immortal Golden Immortal! At that time, if you join with a Daoist Companion for Divine Union Cultivation, quickly in thousands of years, or slowly in ten thousand years, you’ll surely step into the Immortal Domain, achieving Honorable Daoist status."

Qin Daosheng said with a smile.

"A thousand years..."

This Qin family’s Immortal Golden Immortal looked so favorably upon him, believing that it only would take him a thousand years to stand at the threshold of Immortality?

Gu Jinlai was a bit surprised by this, as were the Qin family’s young women, whose eyes on Gu Jinlai brightened a bit more.

The only exception was the always cold-appearing woman, who continued to turn her face away after looking at Gu Jinlai, as if she was forced to be there.

"Quickly in thousands of years, slowly in ten thousand years to surely step into the Immortal Domain..."

Gu Jinlai made a slight calculation.

Since the Qin family could accept his achieving Immortality within thousands of years, it proved that if he truly chose to cooperate with the Qin family, such progress wouldn’t be too exaggerated.

Moreover...

If they could accept thousands of years, he could go out for some experience, claiming to have obtained some fortuitous opportunity, and compress the time to breakthrough Immortality from thousands of years to several hundred years...

No one would find it unreasonable.

Gu Jinlai nodded silently in his heart: "Uncle Dao Sheng is too kind..."

For the moment, the atmosphere in the room visibly became more harmonious.
