"Elder, I have something I do not understand!"
At this moment, a robust middle-aged man stepped forward and called out.
"Speak," the Elder said.
"The former clan leader was a hero of our Qin clan, and we respected him greatly."
"But his grandson is only in his twenties, can he handle the position of clan leader?"
The robust middle-aged man spoke frankly.
"Age is not absolute."
"Being a clan leader is nothing more than two things: one is martial cultivation realm, and the other is the means of handling affairs."
"In terms of realm, I am already at the initial stage of the Grandmaster."
"In terms of ability, I control numerous aristocratic families and forces in the mortal world."
"Even more than ten powerful Grandmaster realm experts are loyal to me, including two at the late Grandmaster stage."
"Is this enough for me to become the clan leader?"
Qin Hanchu looked at the robust middle-aged man and asked.
"To be at the initial stage of the Grandmaster at twenty years old, this potential is indeed terrifying."
"Is he bragging? Just a Grandmaster, why would he have Grandmasters loyal to him? And two at the late Grandmaster stage."
The robust middle-aged man was not afraid of offending Qin Hanchu. He said, "How can you prove what you say is true?"
"Zhao Hai and his wife from the Zhao family once pursued me into the mortal world, but they were killed by my people. This matter should not be difficult to investigate."
"If I didn't have subordinates at the late Grandmaster stage, how could I have killed them?"
Qin Hanchu concealing his true realm was a decision made after discussion with the Elder.
However, the Elder and others had only just learned that Qin Hanchu had such strong forces outside.
Zhao Hai and his wife were both martial artists at the late Grandmaster stage, and they were killed by Qin Hanchu?
Although the Qin clan was besieged, they could still gather this information.
Since Qin Hanchu dared to say this, it should be true.
"If all this is true, I am willing to obey your command," said the robust middle-aged man.
"I will not say any more pleasantries. I can guarantee you that I will lead the Qin clan out of here and live under the real sunlight," Qin Hanchu said.
"Greetings, Clan Leader!" With one person's loud shout, all the clan members bowed and shouted.
Qin Hanchu did not mention the matter of the Primordial Medical Scripture.
This matter could only be known by the high-ranking officials of the Qin clan for now.
The Qin clan had informants in the outside world, and the Dragon Alliance had also planted informants within the Qin clan.
If they knew that the Primordial Medical Scripture had appeared in the Qin clan, the Dragon Alliance would attack in full force.
Only when the Qin clan had a Martial King realm expert would they have the confidence to announce this news.
After everyone dispersed, Qin Hanchu stayed in the Elder's room.
After Qin Hanchu's acupuncture, the Elder felt his whole body relax, and his physical condition was much better than before.
This feeling filled him with hope for Qin Hanchu's words.
Leaving the Elder, Qin Hanchu went directly to his great-grandmother's residence.
"What are you planning to do next?" his great-grandmother asked with a smile after Qin Hanchu entered the room.
Qin Hanchu handed three Jade Marrow Pills to his great-grandmother and said, "These are Jade Marrow Pills, which can refine the quality of True Qi. Next, I will help you reach the Martial King realm first!"
"Alright, as I said before, I will support you with all my might." His great-grandmother knew Qin Hanchu would do this, so she was not surprised.
After his great-grandmother accepted the Jade Marrow Pills, Qin Hanchu asked, "What do you think of Elder Lushong?"
"Elder Lushong is still very loyal to the Qin family. His eyes were blinded while saving Qin clan members," his great-grandmother said.
Qin Hanchu nodded, "Understood."
"What do you want to do?" his great-grandmother asked.
"Since we are family, we should be treated equally."
"Great-grandmother, you cultivate first. I will go and visit Elder Lushong."
After speaking, Qin Hanchu left his great-grandmother's wooden house.
A moment later, Qin Hanchu arrived outside Elder Lushong's door.
He knocked on the door and said, "Your junior, Qin Hanchu, has come to visit Elder Lushong."
Elder Lushong, inside the room, was startled. He did not expect Qin Hanchu to come and visit him.
"Enter!" Elder Lushong said.
Qin Hanchu pushed the door open and walked in, then bowed to Elder Lushong, "I greet Elder Lushong."
"No need for ceremony," Elder Lushong said. "What is it?"
"These are three Jade Marrow Pills, which can help Elder Lushong refine his True Qi."
"Once Elder Lushong's True Qi reaches the standard, I can help you condition your body and prepare to break through to the Martial King realm," Qin Hanchu said.
Hearing this, Elder Lushong looked at Qin Hanchu with surprise. "You want to help me improve my strength? You must have felt my previous hostility towards you."
Qin Hanchu smiled, "Who is willing to give up the power they have obtained? It is normal for you to have emotions."
"Aren't you afraid I will seize your clan leader position again in the future?" Elder Lushong asked.
"After rescuing our kin, I will voluntarily relinquish the clan leader position. You don't need to snatch it."
"What the Qin clan needs to do now is to increase its strength and then get revenge."
"Nothing else matters," Qin Hanchu said.
Hearing Qin Hanchu's answer, Elder Lushong laughed, "This kid of yours is interesting. Are you trying to win people over with virtue?"
"I just don't want to give up any powerful assistance!"
"The stronger the Qin clan becomes, the greater the chance I have of rescuing my kin."
Qin Hanchu understood the current situation clearly.
As long as he could help Elder Lushong and others become stronger, they would not resist his leadership.
As Qin Hanchu said, his goal was only to rescue his kin.
After rescuing his kin, the power within the Qin clan would be of little use to him.
"Good, since we have spoken frankly, I will also state my position."
"I, Lushong, will support you and will absolutely not cause trouble for you," Elder Lushong said solemnly.
Qin Hanchu smiled, "Well, I will not disturb your cultivation, senior."
Next, Qin Hanchu summoned the previous clan leader.
Because Elder Lushong had spoken to him, the previous clan leader's attitude towards Qin Hanchu was very friendly.
Through him, Qin Hanchu gained a very detailed understanding of the Qin clan.
Because they lived in the primeval forest, the Qin clan had a very rich reserve of medicinal herbs.
Here, Qin Hanchu saw many rare medicinal herbs.
These medicinal herbs could help the Qin clan's peak Grandmasters reach the Grandmaster realm.
Time seemed to pass like a white steed, and half a year had already flown by.
During this half-year, Qin Hanchu led the Qin clan's ancient physicians in refining many precious medicines.
With the help of these medicines, more than twenty Grandmaster realm martial artists emerged from the Qin clan.
In addition, Qin Hanchu personally assisted with acupuncture to help some martial artists at the middle stage of the Grandmaster realm advance to the late stage of the Grandmaster realm.
During this period, Qin Hanchu also passed on some acupuncture techniques to the Qin clan's ancient physicians.
Under Qin Hanchu's tutelage, the medical skills of these ancient physicians improved rapidly.
They could even assist martial artists below the Grandmaster realm to advance.
Those who were given the opportunity to advance were all loyal individuals carefully selected by the Qin clan.
Although these individuals had broken through in their strength, they had remained hidden and did not reveal it.
Another half a year passed, and Qin Hanchu, along with his great-grandmother and Elder Lushong, arrived at the ancestral land.
