Departure

"Father, I am ready. We can leave." A somewhat hurried voice came from inside of the luxurious house.

"No problem you can take your time carriage will wait I have talked Merchant Jian. He is a good person but also somewhat greedy so, if he received money that means he won't leave you behind." Qian Xunji comforting voice sounded making Qian Long who was packing things in a hurry.

When he came out he saw his father who looked like little bit younger than before, his three brothers and his sister were waiting for him in courtyard. After three years of getting mirror they were able to hide and cultivate properly. Even when Qian Xunji went to town for tribute he was careful and never took any of his sons with him as for stewards from Xiao Family there is still time till than Qian Long would have already joined sect.

In just three years their family changed so much even though Qian Bing'er didn't awakened spirit roots but she still got Heaven Grade spirit roots with a alchemy technique and some recipies.

So Qian Xunji ventured into forest to get some herbs to help her learning and also brought some herbs from town she is still at early stages so she didn't need much because she was still focusing on her Cultivation. But as her cultivation will increase she will need resources much more than anyone in the house. So Qian Xunji has having headache thinking of this.

In these three years they also found a secret that cultivating near mirror increased their cultivation speed atleast 20% to 30%. Which gave Qian Xunji relief otherwise where would he find resources for his sons to cultivate.

In these years his own cultivation increased to Body Breathing Stage Four Heart Harmonics. He cleaned all the impurities in his body and looked little bit younger. But it was after he payed tribute to Xiao family so they don't know this thing for now.

Secondly Eldest Qian Tong has also reached Body Breathing Third Stage Solar Nexus few days ago. Its not a genius speed of cultivation but it's somewhat genius. You know it takes 3 to 1 years depends on comprehension for a immortal grade spirit root holder to enter in first stage of Body Breathing but he, Qian Tong reached third stage in just three years. Although it is still with little bit help you spirit rice they ate, mirror speed cultivation bonus but he can be considered genius.

As for his brother Qian Xing only reached Second Stage of Body Breathing Sacred Domain. He lacks in comprehension somewhat.

Third Qian Long has a great boost pushing him to Body Breathing Stage Four Heart Harmonics. As for why this happened because he was already mortal peak before mirror blessings. And Qian Daoliu also first to reach Body Breathing fourth stage.

Lastly Qian Bing'er who only started cultivating a year later from her brother has reached Body Breathing Stage Two.

This was all because of Mirror's Blessings, spirit rice, beast meat and lastly herbs they found in forest.

A little bit sad voice broke the silence in the courtyard.

"Father, we can leave." Qian Long's voice was tinged with sadness, but he knew he had to embark on this journey otherwise no one will be able to save their family seeing how fast their family cultivation rose.

Qian Xunji placed a reassuring hand on his son's shoulder. "Remember, Long, this is just the beginning. The sect will be a place of opportunity and growth for you. Stay diligent, and you'll make us proud."

Qian Long nodded, his resolve strengthening. He hugged his siblings one by one. Qian Tong, his eldest brother, patted his back. "Stay safe and come back stronger, Long."

Qian Xing gave a small smile. "Don't let them push you around. Show them what you're made of but only with caution."

Qian Daoliu didn't say while he hugged his brother tightly he had tears in his eyes. Qian Bing'er, also joined them she was most sad in group it took long efforts to stop her from crying when she got to knew that her brother was leaving for sect. She knew if her brother joined sect she will not see him for next ten or fifteen years. Her father tried to coax her but she clearly heard from her brother. Reason is because sect don't want their disciples to have worldly affairs affecting their cultovation. Her two brothers had taken her from childhood she is still child only 8 year old she is reluctant to bid farewell but she had to.

"I'll miss you, brother. Promise you'll write to us."

"I promise," Qian Long said, his voice firm.

With a final nod to his father, Qian Long and Qian Xunji walked and walked outside with a small bag. Although he won't need anything like clothes or anything but he still took some gifts his brother gave this was also his packing.

"Bring my daughter-in-law when you come back again." Qian Xunji joked on way trying to make sad Qian Long Cheerful.

"What would you be your decision after I get selected in sect so when they ask about our family managing this village and pay tribute instead of Xiao Family and they will save us." Qian Long didn't smile avoided Qian Xunji talk and he asked his father about his decision.

He is sure to selected in sect as for why well if you fulfill the requirement of below sixteen or sixteen and Stage Three of Body Breathing. Other then they will not see anything you are selected. As for worldly affairs not affect them they will help their family by taking them under sect command. And if their family has Cultivator they will ask them to grow spirit rice like everywhere and pay them tribute while managing land under their area.

Although this will make Xiao Family dissatisfied but what can do except for making some secret troubles and they won't even do those things because they knows Broken Dao sect is ruthless in these areas.

"I will manage Bamboo Sky Village, and if there would be chance I might send Bing'er Black Lotus Pagoda with you being in the sect there would be no harm and they might even teach her alchemy because of her talent. You know if Bing'er will stay at home her talent will not be used at full potential. As for your brothers they will stay at home to they reach Body Breathing Stage Five and after that I need to ask them to become casual cultivators and if someone got know our secrets before that then our family only depends on you." Qian Xunji explained while walking in a sad face because his sons can't stay at home all the time they had to go out he can't support them all the time and there is still fear of secrets being leaking. After he will become grandfather then he will not have any problems but till that time he had to endure everything to protect their family.

Qian Long didn't say anything he had heard the same thing from his father many times. Although his family depends on him but he still don't know what would be situation at sect.
