I Started As the Qin Family Patriarch and Was Bound to the Selection System

Competition for high-grade spirit stone minesThe Nine-Headed Purple Lightning Flood Dragon flew over the Qin Family, and the Martial God Aura it emitted caught the attention of the Qin Family members and the experts of Tianqi City.

The Qin Family members said in surprise, ”Which expert has descended upon our Qin Family? They even arrived in a palace.”

”Indeed, a carriage pulled by nine Martial Emperor Realm Yao Beasts... Could it be the Great Yuan Saint Master?” some clan members said worriedly.

Qin Yi stepped out and said in a deep voice, ”Everyone, do not panic. This palace is mine.”

Hearing this, the Qin Family members below looked excited and said thrillfully, ”These nine Martial Emperor Realm flood dragons are actually the Clan Chief’s mounts? The Clan Chief is too incredible.”

*Hiss!*

The experts within Tianqi City were shaken to their core. The nine Martial Emperor Realm flood dragons belonged to the Qin Family and were even being used to pull a carriage.

On the pavilion of the City Lord’s Mansion, Han Xing looked toward the Qin Family and muttered to himself, ”A carriage pulled by Martial God Yao Beasts... I’m afraid only the Shenwu Imperial Family would dare to be so extravagant. I truly can’t see through Qin Yi more and more.”

Qin Yi went to the back mountain, sat cross-legged on a giant rock, and began to Cultivate the Immortal Grade Martial Skill—Heavenly Demon Fist.

After an unknown amount of time, a domineering and majestic Devilish Qi emanated, and the sky turned gloomy.

The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees died, and stones on the ground flew into the air, being shattered directly by the shockwaves.

Qin Yi slowly opened his eyes and stood up abruptly. The surrounding Devilish Qi swirled rapidly, condensing into a giant fist.

The giant fist contained terrifying energy, and grey Devilish Qi radiated from it, as if it could destroy heaven and earth.

”Boom.”

The grey giant fist flew rapidly toward the opposite hillside and exploded with a bang. The hillside was blasted to pieces, leaving behind a massive deep crater.

Qin Yi exclaimed excitedly, ”As expected of an Immortal Grade Martial Skill. To think it has such power at just the Minor Achievement stage.”

”With the Heavenly Demon Fist, I can kill a Martial God Fifth Level expert with a single punch.”

A moment later, Qin Yi sat back down and began to Cultivate the Martial Skill Great Desolation Heaven Imprisoning Finger.

Meanwhile, the Cultivators in Tianqi City were in high spirits, discussing fervently.

One Cultivator said excitedly:

”A new High-Grade Spirit Stone mine has appeared at the Tianqi Mine, and it’s even a medium-sized one.”

A Cultivator looked skeptical and asked, ”Really? You should know there’s only one such High-Grade Spirit Stone mine in the Tianqi Mine, and it produces five to six million High-Grade Spirit Stones every month.”

”It’s absolutely true. Hundreds of Martial Saint Realm Human-Faced Demonic Spiders appeared inside and directly attacked the Cultivators.”

”*Hiss*, those Human-Faced Demonic Spiders are social Yao Beasts. There must be a Martial God Realm demonic spider inside that spirit mine.”

”Yes, the City Lord personally went to investigate. There is a Martial Emperor Third Level Human-Faced Demonic Spider inside.”

Soon, the City Lord’s Mansion posted an announcement. In three days, the ownership of the newly discovered High-Grade Spirit Stone mine would be decided.

A best-of-three format would be used, with each power sending out three experts to compete against other factions.

The final winning power would own the High-Grade Spirit Stone mine.

Upon receiving this news, the various powers in the city quickly sent out their experts to find outside help.

As for the Qin Family, they already understood the situation; only Qin Yi was a Martial God expert.

Although Qin Yi was powerful, the ownership of the spirit mine was a best-of-three match. With only Qin Yi, the Qin Family couldn’t possibly win.

As for worrying that Qin Yi would invite experts to help, these factions were even less concerned.

Everyone knew that Qin Yi had offended the Great Origin Sacred Land. No expert would choose to help Qin Yi and offend the Great Origin Sacred Land.

The Qin Family’s back mountain.

Spiritual Qi surged around Qin Yi, and five ancient giant fingers appeared behind him. The immense energy caused the very air to solidify.

Qin Yi said excitedly, ”Five Fingers Move Heaven and Earth has been successfully cultivated. Its power has reached the peak of an Imperial Rank Martial Skill.”

”When the five fingers merge into one to become the Great Desolate Heaven Imprisoning Hand, it will surely become an Immortal Grade Martial Skill.”

Qin Yi’s figure blurred and he disappeared from the back mountain.

Qin Feng reported, ”Reporting to the Clan Chief, a new High-Grade Spirit Stone mine has appeared at the Tianqi Mine.”

”A best-of-three competition will be used to decide which power the Spirit Stone mine belongs to.”

At that moment, the System’s voice rang out.

”Ding, detected the appearance of a new High-Grade Spirit Stone mine.”

Option 1: Participate in the competition and let the Qin Family obtain ownership of the Spirit Stone mine.

Reward: Three martial emperor pills (The user can directly advance to the Martial Emperor First Level Realm.)

Option 2: Do not participate in the competition; the Qin Family gives up on the High-Grade Spirit Stone mine.

Reward: One million Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Qin Yi decided, ”I choose Option 1.”

With three martial emperor pills, the Qin Family would have three more Martial Emperor First Level Realm experts.

Although one million Top-Grade Spirit Stones was a significant amount of resources, as long as they obtained the High-Grade Spirit Stone mine, getting one million Top-Grade Spirit Stones would only be a matter of time.

The exchange rate between Spirit Stones was 1:100; one Top-Grade Spirit Stone was equal to one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Qin Yi said in a deep voice, ”Our Qin Family will participate in this competition. When the time comes, that Spirit Stone mine will be ours.”

Receiving Qin Yi’s response, Qin Feng nodded, and then his figure moved like a ghost, disappearing from the room.

A short while later.

The Water Dragon Turtle flew in, landed on Qin Yi’s shoulder, and waved its turtle claws, saying:

”In three days, there’s a competition for a Spirit Stone mine. This Dragon Turtle is going to show off its skills and let everyone in the city know how powerful I am.”

”With you and me acting together, the Spirit Stone mine will definitely belong to the Qin Family.”

Qin Yi said, ”Alright, I’ll let you participate when the time comes.”

Qin Yi thought about it; an ordinary Martial Emperor Third Level was no match for the Water Dragon Turtle.

The heads of the strongest powers in the city were only at the Martial Emperor Second Level. Although they could invite experts to help, their cultivation shouldn’t be much higher. The Water Dragon Turtle could pretty much handle it.

Even if the Water Dragon Turtle lost, he could send one of his Clones, and the Spirit Stone mine would still belong to the Qin Family.

The three strongest powers in Tianqi City were: the Shangguan Family, the Sun Family, and the Gu Family.

The Clan Chiefs of the three great families were all at the Martial Emperor Second Level. There were also some smaller powers in the city, but none were as good as these three families... Three days later, the sun was shining brightly at the Tianqi Mine outside the city.

The surrounding trees were lush, and wisps of Spiritual Qi emanated from each stone mine, permeating the air and making the area feel ethereal with Qi.

Over thirty people had gathered in an open space, but only four powers would ultimately participate.

Those were the Qin Family and the three major powers of the city.

Some small powers knew they couldn’t compete with the three major families, so they chose to give up on the fight for the Spirit Stone mine.

However, the heads of these small powers had also come, wanting to watch the upcoming battles and see which power would obtain the High-Grade Spirit Stone mine.

Shangguan Yun, dressed in white, smiled smugly and said, ”Clan Chief Gu, I wonder how many experts your Family has invited this time?”

Gu Tianming’s face looked grim, and he snorted coldly, ”Clan Chief Shangguan, don’t be happy too early. The Spirit Stone mine might not necessarily belong to your Shangguan Family. It’s not certain whose it will be yet.”

At the same time, Gu Tianming thought to himself, ”If I had a few more days, I would have definitely invited another Martial Emperor Second Level expert.”

Currently, an Elder in Gray Robes and a Green-robed Woman stood behind Gu Tianming.

The Elder in Gray Robes was the Gu Family’s Grand Elder, with a Martial Emperor First Level cultivation, and the Green-robed Woman was an outside helper invited by the Gu Family.

Shangguan Yun didn’t get angry and said with a smile, ”Clan Chief Gu, you’re right. It’s not certain whose the Spirit Stone mine will be, but I know it definitely won’t be your Gu Family’s.”

Shangguan Yun knew that the Gu Family had only invited one outside helper.

Gu Tianming didn’t argue. He gave a cold snort, turned his head, and ignored Shangguan Yun.

Seeing this, Shangguan Yun smiled happily. He was very pleased whenever he could make Gu Tianming suffer a setback.
