Asura Mad Emperor

What happened at the Great Wilderness City New Year's celebration swiftly swept through the entire city like a hurricane.

"What?"

"The Qin Family won the bet with the Zhao Family?!"

"How did this happen? The disparity in strength between the Qin and Zhao Families is huge, the Qin Family couldn't possibly match the Zhao Family, how could they have won the bet?"

In Great Wilderness City, countless people exclaimed in disbelief.

"It was because of Qinchuan!"

"This young man truly has extraordinary talent and unfathomable methods. They say it was he who guided the Qin Family members, leading to their tremendous increase in strength over the past two months, decisively crushing the Zhao Family!"

"Indeed, not only the other members of the Qin Family but Qinchuan himself is terrifyingly strong. At his young age, he has already reached the peak of the Fourth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, and even displayed his prowess at the event, overpowering a talented disciple from the Congyun Sect with a Cultivation Level in the Meridian Opening Realm, defeating him despite the gap in their levels!"

"This young man is truly deserving of being Great Wilderness City's number one talent. Qin's Asura, his reputation is well-earned. In just two months of overseeing the Qin Family, he has brought the house back from the brink of extinction. He has transformed a second-rate family on the verge of collapse into one that has overtaken the Zhao Family's position, and now the Qin Family can be counted as the top family in Great Wilderness City..."

Suddenly, the whole city was abuzz with people discussing the matter, many shocked at the enormous transformation the Qin Family underwent in just two short months under Qinchuan's leadership.

As they said.

The Qin Family of today, whether in martial force or wealth, had firmly positioned themselves among the top-tier families of Great Wilderness City.

Qinchuan, the head of the Qin Family, although he is only at the peak of the Fourth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, displayed such extraordinary elegance and tremendous power at the New Year celebration that no one in the whole Great Wilderness City could compare.

Moreover, with a Fourth Rank Ninth Grade peak level Crimson Flame Bird by his side, who would dare to provoke him?

Apart from Qinchuan himself.

The elders of the Qin Family too had undergone changes, and now counted themselves among the top martial experts of the older generation in Great Wilderness City.

As for the family's wealth, now that the Qin Family had secured the fruits of victory from the betting agreement, all of the Zhao Family's properties would be handed over to them.

The Zhao Family was previously a top-tier family in Great Wilderness City with profound financial foundations. Adding this to the Qin Family's own resources, there were very few families left in the city that could compete.

That very afternoon, Qinchuan had ordered the Third Elder and others to take over all the properties of the Zhao Family.

"The Qin Family actually beat the Zhao Family, and Qinchuan... really had the capability to revive the Qin Family and even make it leap to become a top-tier family in Great Wilderness City?"

The Family Guards who had previously left the Qin Residence were stunned upon hearing this news and became dumbfounded.

They remembered when they left, they had encountered Qinchuan, who had told them the Qin Family was practically non-existent, and had accused Qinchuan of cowardice and submitting to the Zhao Family's authority.

They remembered ignoring the pleas of the Qin Family elders to stay and insisting on leaving.

Now, regret filled their hearts.

Because although the Qin Family had been a second-rate family, they had never mistreated these Family Guards, offering them far more generous terms than other families would offer guards of their level.

Since leaving the Qin Residence to serve other families, the treatments they received had almost halved!

"Let's go back to the Qin Family, we must return immediately!"

The Family Guards who had joined other clans were now determined to return to the Qin Family upon learning of its revival.

They didn't even wait to collect two months' worth of pay from their current families.

"What? Guards Wang and Zhao Hu, where do you think you're going with those packed bags?"

An elder from the Tang Family frowned upon seeing this and reprimanded them.

"Elder Zhao, we are returning to the Qin Family. The treatment we received from your Zhao Family is much worse than what we had initially at the Qin Family, sorry!"

Having said that, the two of them hurriedly left.

"What? You want to go back to the Qin Family?!"

"Guard Wang, Zhao Hu, when you left the Qin Family and came to us begging, it was only then that our Tang Family took you in. And now you despise our Tang Family's treatment as too low and want to leave?"

"Once you leave, don't come back!"

The elder from the Tang Family was furious.

However, the two of them seemed as if they heard nothing and went straight away.

Yet,

when they arrived at the Qin Residence, they found that the entrance of the Qin Residence was already bustling.

Many martial artists had come to the Qin Residence, hoping to join the Qin Residence.

Moreover, many of them had higher cultivation levels than the two men, but the treatment they demanded was even less than what they wanted.

"Heh, aren't these Guard Wang and Steward Zhao? Why have you come?"

An elder from the Qin Family responsible for recruiting family guards noticed the arrival of the two men and chuckled.

"Fifth Elder, we hope to continue serving the Qin Residence..."

The two men hurriedly spoke, their faces piled with smiles.

However, upon hearing their words, the Fifth Elder couldn't help but laugh silently: "When the Qin Family was in decline, I tried to retain you but failed. Now that the Qin Family is thriving, you return, wanting to serve the Qin Residence again?"

Shaking his head, the Fifth Elder said, "You should leave."

Hearing the Fifth Elder's words, the two men's faces changed slightly, as they urgently said, "Fifth Elder, we've already resigned from our positions as the Tang Family guards to come back especially. How can you turn us away at the door?"

The moment the Fifth Elder heard this, his expression turned cold as he spoke, "I heard that after you left the Qin Residence, you had nowhere to go and were taken in by someone from the Tang Family. Is that correct?"

"Now that you've heard of the Qin Family's glory, you've quickly forgotten the kindness of the Tang Family and left them. With people like you, the Qin Family cannot afford to have you as stewards. Please find another place!"

…

"Chi Yan, this is the Enlightening Pill I've just refined for you. After taking it, you can further develop your intelligence and speak the human language."

In the eastern courtyard of the Qin Residence, Qinchuan tossed an elixir to the Crimson Flame Bird.

The Crimson Flame Bird immediately caught it in its mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

At once, the effects of the Enlightening Pill began to unfold.

"Many, many thanks to the master for the grace of intellectual enlightenment."

After refining the elixir, the Crimson Flame Bird's speech was initially a bit awkward, but it quickly became fluent. It bowed to Qinchuan continuously like a pecking chicken, expressing its thanks.

Qinchuan smiled at the bird's words and said, "Your fate to have met me and carry me to the core of the Great Wilderness is also your destiny."

"By the way, although you have now awakened a trace of the Vermilion Bird bloodline, this trace of the bloodline is still very faint. I will now teach you a Blood Refining Technique. This technique can help you condense and strengthen the Vermilion Bird bloodline within you, aiding you in awakening the complete Vermilion Bird bloodline."

Having said that, Qinchuan pointed at the Crimson Flame Bird's forehead, transferring a secret bloodline cultivation technique directly into the bird's mind.

The Crimson Flame Bird was immediately overwhelmed with joy and promptly kowtowed to Qinchuan to thank him: "Many thanks to the master for your gracious gift. From now on, Chi Yan will vow to follow the master to the ends of the earth and through fire and water, death be damned!"
