Chapter 26

"Could there be other people who can cultivate like you?" Old Master Qin went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.

Qin Jiao had to admit that Old Master Qin, the head of the family, was the one with the most foresight.

"Theoretically, there should be," Qin Jiao said honestly.

"No wonder … No wonder …" Grandpa Qin muttered to himself.

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Qin Zhao looked at his grandpa who was in a daze and talking to himself.

"I mean, I've finally figured out something," Grandpa Sheng explained after coming back to his senses.

"Understood what?" The old lady didn't know what her husband was thinking.

"It all started when I first joined the army.

Do you still remember Lu Yi? "Grandpa Qin asked his wife.

"How could I not remember him? The young master of the Lu family. You two grew up together and joined the army in the same year.

Speaking of which, he was quite a funny person. Back then, when such a big thing happened to his family, not only did he only find out about it after a long time, but he himself also fell on the battlefield in the end.

The old lady thought of the elegant man she met a few times and couldn't help but sigh.

"He didn't die," Grandpa Qin said calmly.

"What!

Didn't his name appear on the list of those who died in battle back then?

Weren't you the one who received his death notice? "

The old lady remembered clearly that when her husband received the news of Lu Yi's death, they were preparing to apply for marriage.

At that time, because of this matter, her husband had been in a lot of pain, and their marriage application had been delayed just like that.

It wasn't until a year and a half later that they reapplied.

"Back then, I did receive his death notice and thought that he had really died on the battlefield.

Grandpa Qin didn't deny it.

"But there was one time when I followed the army to the mountains for a mission. One night, I couldn't sleep, so I went outside to smoke.

Just as I finished smoking and was about to return to the cave to rest, I suddenly felt as if a voice had appeared in my head. That voice seemed to be able to bewitch people and lead me to a faraway place. I could clearly feel that my own consciousness was very clear, but my legs didn't seem to be under my own control. They were constantly being led by that voice.

Grandpa Qin slowly recalled the secret that he had planned to keep for the rest of his life.

"That was the 'Summoning Technique'."

Qin Jiao said.

"'Summoning Technique'?

What's that? "

"It's a summoning spell that cultivators practice. It can control the target of the spell and draw them to the caster's side.

Grandpa, the one you encountered should be the lowest level of 'Recruitment Spell'. If I'm not wrong, the person who cast the spell on you should be someone close to you, right? "Qin Jiao looked at the old man and said.

"If you want to cast a spell, then so be it. How is it someone close to your grandfather?" Qin Weimin didn't understand.

"Grandpa said that he was conscious at the time, but he couldn't control his actions.

There are actually three types of techniques.

The lowest level is the 'Summoning Technique', the middle level is the 'Soul Guiding Technique', and the highest level is the 'Soul Searching Technique'.

Grandpa's technique is the 'Summoning Technique'.

It can control the target's actions while keeping the target conscious. It won't cause too much damage to the target. The middle level 'Soul Guiding Technique' can control the target's actions and consciousness, but it can only guide the target's subconscious. It won't forcefully interfere with the target's subjective consciousness.

Although stopping the casting of the spell would cause the target to lose consciousness, it wouldn't harm the target's life. As for the last type of spell, the 'Soul Searching Spell', it was the highest level of this type of spell, but it was also the most insidious and vicious.

Not only could it search all the memories of the target, but it could also control the target's consciousness. It could be said that it could turn the target into a 'puppet' of the lowest level. Even if the spell was removed later, the target would lose his life at worst, or become delirious at best, just like an idiot.

“

Qin Jiao paused and continued, "There are only two possibilities for Grandpa to be affected by the 'Summoning Technique'.

First, the person who cast the 'Summoning Technique' on Grandpa didn't have a high level of cultivation and couldn't cast a higher level technique.

But if it's the case, it's only someone who has ill intentions towards Grandpa. If that's the case, Grandpa wouldn't be alive now.

As for the second possibility, it was that the person who cast the spell was well aware of the harm it would do to the target. In order to protect Grandpa, they cast the lowest level spell, the Summoning Spell. And this person must be someone close to Grandpa.

Since Grandpa is still alive now, it must be the second possibility. "

Qin Jiao explained in detail.

"I'm not sure about this technique.

However, Jiaojiao's guess about this person being close to her was correct.

The person who led me there was Lu Yi. "

Old Master Qin confirmed Qin Jiao's conjecture.

"After I went there, I didn't feel like I couldn't control my body anymore.

When I came back to my senses, I saw Lu Yi standing not far away.

At that time, he was wearing an ancient robe. It was late at night, and we were deep in the gloomy mountains. I thought I was so scared that I was hallucinating. "

Old Master Qin carefully recalled that night, deeply immersed in his memories.

"Lu Yi!

Why are you here? You're not dead, right? "

“

"Qin Jiang.

No, I'm not dead. "

"Then why did your name appear on the list of those who died in battle? Did something happen?

Where are you now?

How are you doing? "

“

There was an accident that year, so I had to do that.

But that's not important now. I asked you to come here today for a more important matter. "

"You were the one who created that strange power just now?"

"Yes, let's not talk about that. This is for you."

"What is this?

How did you … "Qin Jiang looked at the white jade token that flew into his hand, and his whole body froze in shock.

“

Qin Jiang, I can't explain these things to you clearly, but you're the only person I can trust with all my heart now.

Take this white jade token with you. If possible, take it with you to the grave in the future. This kind of thing shouldn't exist in this world. "

"What are you going to do?"

Qin Jiang and he grew up together. They could be said to be brothers who had gone through life and death together. Naturally, they knew each other's personalities very well.

"The whole family is in trouble. I can't rest easy."

"You faked your death that year and disappeared all these years. Is it related to what happened to your family?"

"Yes.

Take care, and don't look for me. "

After Lu Yi finished speaking, Qin Jiang felt his vision go black and he fainted. When he woke up, he was outside the cave where the army was resting.

Old Master Qin couldn't let go of that night's incident for a long time after he finished speaking.

Later on, he secretly investigated the incident on his own. But no matter what method he used, he couldn't find a trace of information. It was as if the Lu family had never existed.

"There were some mystical things that seemed strange back then. But now, because of Jiaojiao, I've figured out a lot.

I'm guessing that Lu Yi should be a cultivator too, "said Old Master Qin.

"The jade token he gave you that year, is it still in your hands now?" asked Qin Jiao.

"Yes, but I hid it somewhere else. It's not here."

Old Master Qin's main intention in bringing up this matter today was to see if he could find any clues from the white jade token to guess Lu Yi's whereabouts through Qin Jiao.

It's been almost forty years. His good brother has been missing for almost forty years. His last wish in life was to get news of him before he died.

No matter the outcome, he really wanted to know. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to rest in peace even after he died.

"I'll bring it to you in a few days. Jiaojiao, Grandpa has a favor to ask of you."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll definitely help you find Grandpa Lu," promised Qin Jiao.

"But you have to be able to guarantee your own safety. Otherwise, Grandpa will be a great sinner."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of my family's safety first."

"Oh.

Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, "said Old Master Qin with red eyes.

"Do you not treat me as your own granddaughter? Hmph, if that's what you think, then I won't do it for you," said Qin Jiao deliberately with a pout.

"Hey, you naughty girl."

Old Master Qin patted her with a smile.

"Oh right, I'll test your spiritual base," said Qin Jiao as she took out a Rainbow Spiritual Testing Stone from the mansion.

"Spiritual base?" What's that? Qin Zhao asked Qin Jiao.

"It's to test if you have the foundation to become a cultivator."

"You mean, we can also cultivate?!" Qin Zhao was so shocked by this news that he immediately stood up.

Not to mention Qin Zhao, even Qin Weimin, who had been leaning against the sofa, suddenly straightened his back.

Speaking of which, that man did not dream of becoming a martial arts hero. After talking for so long, this was really the only news that made Qin Weimin and his son the most excited. Song Yue's face was also full of unconcealable excitement.

Compared to the excitement of these three people, Old Master Qin and his wife were much calmer.

After all, they were already old, and they had never heard of anyone who could cultivate at such an old age.

"As long as your spiritual base is good, of course you can," said Qin Jiao.

"How do you test it?" Qin Zhao couldn't wait any longer.

"You just have to put your hand on it."

"It's that simple?" Qin Zhao couldn't believe it.

"What else do you think it is?" Qin Jiao rolled her eyes at him.

"Hehe ~ My baby sister is always right ~" Qin Zhao said to her in a flattering manner.

His little ancestor was now a golden thigh, and he had to hug it tightly.

"Don't, you really look like a eunuch. Eh ~ I can't stand it ~ I can't stand it ~" The word 'eunuch' was taught to her by Qin Zhao.

"You, you little rascal, are you looking for a beating?" Qin Zhao pretended to hit her.

"Grandma ~ Grandma ~ Look at Qin Zhao, look at Qin Zhao." Qin Jiao giggled and hid in Old Master Qin's arms.

"That's enough, why are you teasing your sister? Hurry up and let her get down to business." Before Old Master Qin could say anything, Qin Weimin gave him a kick.

"Heh ~ I've been beating this and that all day. I really wonder if I'm your biological son."

"Little rascal ~ You …"

"That's enough, Jiaojiao, let's get down to business first. Otherwise, look at how anxious your father is." Old Master Qin's words exposed her son's thoughts.

"Mom, I'm not." Qin Weimin's rough face turned red.

"Dad, why don't you go first?" Qin Jiao deliberately teased.

"Go ~ Little girl, you're embarrassing your dad." After saying that, he pushed Qin Zhao and said, "Let your brother go first, he's more anxious than I am."

"I'll go first, little ancestor, hurry up." Qin Zhao was thick-skinned and didn't care about this.

"Just put your hand on it." Qin Jiao poked her head out from Old Master Qin's arms.

She saw Qin Zhao's trembling hands and didn't put his hand on it for a long time.

Qin Jiao laughed at him, "Can you be any slower, haha."

Qin Zhao was angered by her ~ "Little ancestor, how can I not be nervous? This is the key to whether or not your brother can become a hero of this generation."

"Hey, a hero of this generation?

Don't worry, even if you can't become a spirit cultivator, you can still become a body cultivator. You have such a powerful sister, what are you afraid of? "

"Body cultivator?

What's that? "Qin Zhao was dumbfounded.

"Those who can't use their spirit to enter the Dao can still use their martial arts to enter the Dao and become body cultivators. They can still become cultivators," explained Qin Jiao.

"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" Qin Zhao was furious. Did he feel nervous for nothing?

"Then why didn't you ask me earlier?"

No, no, no.

Qin Zhao felt that he was about to be angered to death by this little ancestor of his.

"Hurry up, hurry up, can't you see that there are so many people waiting for you?" Qin Weimin added.

Qin Zhao slowly put his hand on the stone.

Everyone carefully looked at the stone to see if there were any changes.

But after a while, there was no reaction.

They were all looking at Qin Jiao.

"His spirit foundation is too weak, he can't become a spirit cultivator."

Hearing his sister's words, Qin Zhao couldn't hide his disappointment.

Seeing his depressed look, Qin Jiao said, "What are you afraid of? Body cultivator your sister, I promise you that I'll fulfill your dream of becoming a hero."

Seeing Qin Jiao trying to comfort him, Qin Zhao also felt relieved.

After a round, out of the five of them, only Song Yu'e's spirit foundation was slightly better. But after all, she wasn't young and her spirit foundation wasn't very good, so she couldn't enter the Dao at all.

"Grandpa, Grandma, that's not a problem. Even without this, I'll still let you live a long, long life," Qin Jiao said.

"After living for so long, what's your grandma become?" The old lady was amused by her.

"She's become the luckiest old man and old lady."

"Okay, okay, okay, I'm counting on my little granddaughter to become the luckiest old man in the world." The old man laughed.

"Of course, you just have to wait."

In the end, Qin Jiao decided to let Qin Zhao and her father try to enter the Dao through martial arts.

"Jiaojiao, your grandpa …" Qin Weimin said hesitantly.

"Find some time to explain to my grandpa and the others." Qin Jiao didn't care.

"Okay, just explain to your brother and the others. Hide the rest from them first. Jiaojiao's cultivation hasn't recovered yet. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, it'll bring trouble to her." The old man thought a lot and instructed Qin Weimin.

Qin Jiao wasn't really worried about what the old man said. Not to mention the various Dharma treasures in her mansion, just the Water Spirit alone was enough to make ordinary cultivators helpless. If she really encountered a powerful cultivator, she wouldn't be able to avoid it.

However, Qin Jiao didn't say anything. After all, she hadn't figured out how deep the waters of this world were. It was always better to keep a low profile.

"We know, we know." Although that was what they said, Old Master Qin and Qin Weimin's eyes were full of excitement.

The Qin Family's opportunity had come.

"Grandma, I'm hungry." With Qin Jiao's current cultivation level at the third stage of Qi Refinement, she would still be hungry if she didn't eat Fasting Pills.

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll go make some for you now. Make more. You haven't eaten for almost a day."

Needless to say, they had been busy until the afternoon.

Song Yu 'e hurriedly got up and prepared to help.

"Wait a minute, Grandma. Use these." With that, Qin Jiao took out several kinds of spiritual rice and spiritual vegetables from the mansion.

These were the lowest quality ingredients in Qin Jiao's possession. It wasn't that Qin Jiao didn't want to use good ingredients, but the old lady's body couldn't withstand good ingredients at all.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they overnourished their body.

Looking at the green vegetables that looked like jade carvings and the fragrant white rice in front of her, the old lady couldn't stay calm anymore.

"Why do you even have these in your mansion? Shouldn't such a precious place be used to store treasures?"

The old lady said.

"Your granddaughter isn't an ordinary person." Qin Jiao said flirtatiously.

"Tsk, tsk." The old lady patted her and didn't ask any more questions. She took the things into the kitchen with Song Yu 'e.

Old Master Qin and Qin Weimin went upstairs to discuss some matters. Only Qin Jiao and Qin Zhao were left in the living room.

Qin Jiao casually took out two apples from the mansion.

These apples were twice as big as normal ones.

Qin Jiao threw one to Qin Zhao and started to gnaw on the one in her hand.

After Qin Zhao caught it, she felt a fruity fragrance waft into her nose.

It wasn't strong, but very sweet. Seeing that Qin Jiao was enjoying it, he hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth.

"Oh, it's delicious." It tasted completely different from the apples here. It was too delicious.

Qin Zhao hurriedly took a big bite.

Qin Jiao was about to say something when the doorbell rang as she watched him gobble down the food.

Qin Jiao had already removed the soundproof array, so she wasn't surprised that someone was here. She guessed that it was her grandfather and the others.

She wanted to ask Qin Zhao to open the door, but seeing him gnawing on the apple, she immediately gave up the idea and prepared to go by herself.

Qin Jiao slowly opened the door while gnawing on the apple. She heard a man's voice.
