When Han Yongchun announced his family name, he was promptly welcomed into Zhou Manor.

A maid escorted him to the main hall of the Zhou family and brought fine Spiritual Tea for his tasting, with a plate of Spirit Fruits placed nearby.

Han Yongchun casually picked up a fruit and took a bite, finding that it wasn’t as good as those in Han Mansion; the content of Spiritual Energy was only about a third, and he shook his head silently.

Indeed, the Zhou family’s Gangyuan Realm influence was far inferior to his own, the Zhou family’s patriarch was only in the mid-stage of the Gangyuan Realm, and his life span was less than thirty years remaining.

His own father’s strength far surpassed that of the Zhou family’s patriarch. Before he left home, his mother Li Mingmeng had let slip some news that his father was about to break through to the Hollow Void Stage and become a Grandmaster.

Knowing that Han Yongchun was heading out to gain experience, Li Mingmeng was somewhat worried and decided to give him some assurance, yet she did not dare to reveal Han Li’s Hollow Void Stage cultivation outright. Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on n/o/v𝒆/l/bin(.)c/𝒐/m

At that moment, a lavishly dressed middle-aged man strode into the main hall, his eyes lighting up upon seeing Han Yongchun, and he immediately called out,

“Young Master Han.”

Han Yongchun recognized his identity and responded with a courtesy, “Chief Zhou.”

“Young Master’s visit to our Zhou Manor is an honor, bringing glory to our manor,” said Chief Zhou, holding Han Yongchun’s hand with great warmth.

Han Yongchun was slightly taken aback by the honored treatment; he wasn’t paid much attention to within the Han Family, and he hadn’t expected to be treated so highly outside. Was the Han Mansion’s reputation really that impressive?

With his thoughts racing, Han Yongchun withdrew his hand and said, “You flatter me, Manor Lord.”

After some casual conversation with Han Yongchun to close the distance, Chief Zhou then said, “I’m already aware of the purpose of your visit, Young Master, and indeed, the Zhou family can provide some assistance.”

Han Yongchun was overjoyed and asked eagerly, “What can Zhou Manor do for me?”

Although he had left home to gain experience, he felt quite at a loss, not knowing where to go or what to do to achieve the desired effect of his journey.

Chief Zhou’s eyebrows rose, realizing that it was normal for Han Yongchun, who was just starting out, to be unversed in worldly affairs, and did not mind his tone as he said directly,

“There are three options: first, Young Master could help escort a batch of precious spiritual materials to neighboring Tian Yong Mansion. There might be trouble along the way, which the Young Master could resolve with ease.”

“Second, one of my Zhou Manor’s exploration teams has discovered a small-scale ruin deep within Mangyang Mountain, which seems to contain a Lower Grade Spirit Stone Mine. Young Master can go and help explore the ruin and assist our Zhou Manor in securing the Spirit Stone Mine.”

“Third, Young Master can temporarily join the Zhou family as a Guest Elder, helping to deal with some troubles within the Manor City.”

Zhou Zhiruo, Zhou Zhirou, and Zhou Zhixuan are his daughters, and before Han Yongchun’s arrival, Zhou Zhiruo had already sent back the news, asking her father to lend a hand.

After discussing with the elder patriarch, Chief Zhou agreed.

The current situation is chaotic, but Yonchang Manor still respects Han Mansion. Zhou Manor’s ability to withstand pressure is still too weak. If Han Mansion could offer more support, it would be far easier to navigate the upcoming turmoil.

He was aware that his three daughters were quite favored by Elder Han, but Elder Han’s speed in taking wives and concubines was too rapid, and having just married another, his three precious daughters, being merely concubines, would likely not be favored for long.

Therefore, Chief Zhou also wanted to further strengthen the relationship with Han Mansion, and this was a good opportunity. He wasn’t quite sure about Young Master Han Yongchun’s capacity for risk, so he presented three options with varying degrees of risk.

Han Yongchun was in the Pihai Realm and, although he had just made his breakthrough not long ago, his strength was not weak in Yonchang Manor.

Faced with the three choices given by Chief Zhou, Han Yongchun hesitated. The third option had the least risk, followed by the first, and the second had the greatest risk; the potential for cultivation experience was similarly scaled.

He initially wanted to choose the third option, to have an easy transition, but considering his poor talent and seemingly low aptitude, he knew he had to work hard or he might really not have a chance to distinguish himself in the future.

Before setting out for his journey, his father Han Li had given him three trump cards to use in case he encountered danger, which could save his life three times—this was Han Yongchun’s greatest assurance.

Therefore, he chose the second option to explore the small ruin and compete for the Spirit Stone Mine.

Compared to cultivators of the same realm, Han Yongchun was somewhat confident in his strength. His family’s Han Mansion was the strongest force in Yonchang Manor, his Cultivation Techniques and martial prowess were also far superior to those of other forces within the manor, and he had sufficient Spirit Pills and powerful Spiritual Artifacts.

Although he was only at the first level of the Pihai Realm, Han Yongchun felt that his strength should be equivalent to an ordinary Pihai Realm third-level and could reach even higher levels if he used secret techniques.

Chief Zhou looked at Han Yongchun in surprise; he had thought Han Yongchun would choose either the first or the third option, not the second, which was the riskiest.

After some thought, he warned, “Young Master Han, several Gangyuan Realm forces in Yonchang Manor are aware of the ruin in Mangyang Mountain. While there are no Great Masters from the Gangyuan Realm going there, there will definitely be cultivators in the late stages of the Pihai Realm…”

“Chief Zhou, rest assured. Even if I can’t defeat them, I am confident in preserving my life,” interjected Han Yongchun, understanding his concern.

“Very well, Young Master. Please wait here for two days, and then you will proceed to Mangyang Mountain with our Zhou Manor’s team.”

Since Han Yongchun was insistent on participating, Chief Zhou didn’t try to persuade him further. After all, Han Yongchun was born into the Han Family, the son of Elder Han. Even if not much regarded, he would surely have some trump cards for his first journey, which could also bring considerable assistance to Zhou Manor.

Chengsheng Mountain, Chengdao Peak.

Han Li, Lu Tianxiang, Jiang Baiye, and Yun Miaoyi were soaking in a hot spring, surrounded by various floating flower petals.
