Chapter 712: 0713 Proper Naming! (Third Update)

Less than a day had passed, and the Martial Artist competition of the Jin clan had concluded.

Jin Shanshun ranked second among the younger generation of the Jin clan, only behind Jin Feiyang.

As for not defeating Jin Feiyang, Jin Shanshun harbored no grievances. Without Ye Qiu’s help, he would have likely lost as soon as the opponent unleashed his domain. With Ye Qiu’s assistance, he broke Jin Feiyang’s domain and nearly defeated him.

He acknowledged that all credit went to Ye Qiu and deeply realized that in terms of true strength, he was no match for Jin Jian and Jin Lin.

Now, seeing the gazes of many clansmen filled with respect rather than disdain, Jin Shanshun felt deeply grateful, as most of this was earned for him by Ye Qiu.

Jin Shanshun had redeemed his reputation in the competition, and henceforth, no one would underestimate him. Even Jin Jian and Jin Lin looked at him with a hint of respect.

Meanwhile, an elder spoke up, wishing to take Jin Feiyang and Jin Shanshun as his disciples, immediately sparking envy and jealousy among many.

"Elder Jin Huang actually took the initiative to accept disciples. Oh my heavens, I remember he only ever took our clan leader as his disciple before."

"Yes, one big reason the clan leader could become the leader of the Jin household is because of this elder’s support."

"Do you think there’s a possibility that because of the clan leader’s relationship, Elder Jin Huang also took Jin Shanshun as his disciple?"

"Perhaps it’s a significant factor."

The younger members of the Jin clan could only look on enviously, as this elder was the strongest individual in the Jin clan, of considerable age, and he rarely appeared publicly, staying in seclusion until today’s competition, when he directly accepted Jin Feiyang and Jin Shanshun as his disciples.

The other elders felt somewhat disgruntled. Some of them had wanted to take Jin Feiyang as a disciple last year but were rejected, which was quite embarrassing. However, Jin Feiyang aimed to become a disciple of Elder Jin Huang and now had truly succeeded, his eyes gleaming with excitement. The elders felt annoyed but dared not show it, leaving first with a swish of their sleeves.

Seeing his son accepted as a disciple by Elder Jin Huang, Jin Wanshan was overjoyed. Having this powerful elder, who had once taught him, as a teacher for Jin Shanshun would be of great help.

The internal martial arts competition of this ancient clan had thoroughly concluded. Jin Shanshun had not only vindicated himself but had also been taken as a disciple by Elder Jin Huang, attaining both fame and benefits.

This was the happiest day of Jin Shanshun’s life in more than twenty years.

He had never felt as delighted and comfortable as he did today!

After the competition, Jin Shanshun was called to his father’s study by Jin Wanshan, who wanted to find out when his son had reached the legendary realm while Jin Yunping, Jin Tianyi, Jin Jian, and Jin Lin all looked dejected after losing to Jin Zhimo and Jin Shanshun, dwelling on what was a significant setback for a long time.

Jin Shanshun had not been in his father’s study for a long time. In the past, he would hear nothing but his father’s scolding, but today, Jin Wanshan praised him for the first time.

"This competition, you performed very well, beyond everyone’s expectations," Jin Wanshan said.

Jin Shanshun stood erect, not speaking.

"Shanshun, when did you break through to the legendary realm?"

"I just broke through a few days ago," Jin Shanshun truthfully replied.

"Oh? Just after breaking through to defeat Jin Jian and Jin Lin, you’ve really made me proud," Jin Wanshan said.

Jin Shanshun naturally wouldn’t reveal that Ye Qiu had helped him, but with a glance, he said, "Actually, I was able to break through because I obtained a few elixirs that helped me make a breakthrough."

"Elixirs?" Jin Wanshan was startled.

Jin Shanshun nodded, thinking that now was a good time to hand over the Primordial Pill to his father, since his newfound strength provided a sufficient reason that wouldn’t arouse his father’s suspicion.

"Yes, Father, look, the elixir I’m talking about is this." As he spoke, Jin Shanshun passed the bottle of the Primordial Pill to Jin Wanshan.

Jin Wanshan had not been very concerned initially, but as he opened the bottle, the scent of the elixirs filled the entire room.

This is...

Jin Wanshan’s eyes suddenly widened. Wasn’t this the Primordial Pill?

How could his son possess such an elixir when it had fetched a sky-high price of a hundred second-grade Crystal Stones at the Cloud Gown Palace Auction House!

The Primordial Pill could help someone transform from an ordinary person directly into a Martial Artist, serving as a significant aid to breaking through limitations.

Jin Wanshan was all too familiar with the Primordial Pill. The fiercely competitive auction for it had drawn the interest of the three ancient clans, eventually being purchased by the Ji Clan for a hundred second-grade Crystal Stones—a considerable expenditure reportedly for a genius in their clan.

Jin Wanshan also desired a Primordial Pill; even if not for himself, giving it to Jin Shanshun for his cultivation and the enhancement of his martial prowess would be beneficial. Unfortunately, a single Primordial Pill would cost hundreds of second-grade Crystal Stones, which even he, the Clan Leader of the Jin Clan, could not afford.

Moreover, as a Clan Leader of a lower-tier ancient clan, if he dared to compete with the three major ancient clans, even if he managed to purchase it at a high price, many experts would likely target and ambush him to seize the treasure after the auction.

Faced with such an important Primordial Pill now presented in front of him by his son, Jin Wanshan felt it was somewhat surreal.

"How many of these elixirs do you have?"

"I still have two more. Father, if you want, I can give them all to you," Jin Shanshun offered.

"Oh? No need, one is enough for me. What do you plan to do with the remaining one?" For the first time, Jin Wanshan felt he did not quite understand his son. He already had two Primordial Pills on him; no wonder the boy had managed to advance to legendary status.

"I plan to give the remaining four to some of the elders who stand with Father, to help them break through their current realms," Jin Shanshun said.

Jin Wanshan was startled, touched by Jin Shanshun’s intention to use the Primordial Pills to win over the skilled masters of their lineage.

"Good, with these two Primordial Pills, we can take our Jin Clan’s strength to the next level. With just one breakthrough, our Jin Clan might have the chance to rise from a lower-tier to a mid-tier ancient clan," Jin Wanshan said with a gleaming look.

After leaving the study, Jin Shanshun was in high spirits. Having handed the two Primordial Pills to his father and seeing how cautiously he handled them, as if afraid they would be stolen or snatched away, Jin Shanshun almost burst into laughter several times.

Seeing this scene, Jin Shanshun clenched his fists. Watching his father’s somewhat stooped back, Jin Shanshun felt a pang of distress. To manage the entire Jin clan, his father must have exhausted much effort, always guarding against Elders Jin Mu and Jin Shui who were eying their position.

"With Brother Ye on our side, our Jin clan will soon have more strong warriors," Jin Shanshun said with certainty, looking at his father’s anticipation and longing for becoming a mid-tier ancient clan, which made him want to speed up the process for his father, even though he knew that currently, their clan did not have the strength. But Jin Shanshun believed that it wouldn’t take long before Ye Qiu would prepare more potent elixirs, and then perhaps their clan might rise from among the lower-tier ancient clans.

For some reason, Jin Shanshun was tempted to take a gamble, but after a while, he shook his head, with reason overcoming impulse.

He feared that the price of losing such a bet would be too great. This matter should be discussed with his father later; he could not make a decision for the entire Jin Clan by himself!
