Longevity Family: Let Her Live At The Beginning, Let Her Live

"Da Gan?"

The Zhang family members looked at each other, and several of them naturally knew what force this was. Based on their understanding from various sources, this force had the presence of an elder above the Nascent Soul stage. Moreover, it was stronger than the Heavenly Demon Temple. The princess of this force held a high status even in the Heavenly South Immortal Cultivation Domain.

The younger generation of the Zhang family looked at Zhang Yin with envy.

"Zhang Yin, why don't you agree? Father will be very happy when he finds out," someone said.

"Yes, if you go, you will become a member of the Zhang family. It's such a great opportunity," another person added.

Seeing Zhang Yin remain silent, everyone became extremely anxious, afraid that she would miss this opportunity.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yin clasped her hands and said, "Senior, I cannot decide on this matter. I need my father's approval before I can agree."

"Oh? Your father?" Prime Minister Yin was somewhat surprised. It seemed that this girl's father held great importance in her heart. After all, there were many people in the cultivation world who did not acknowledge their family ties.

"Alright, I'll accompany you to meet your father. Don't worry, the Great Gan Dynasty is not on the same level as the Heavenly Demon Temple. I have observed your talent for a long time," Prime Minister Yin said with a smile.

Zhang Yin clasped her hands in response. She couldn't shake off this person, so she could only let him follow her. Although she was wary of him, she also knew that he had no ill intentions towards her. If he did, he wouldn't have wasted so much time talking and would have acted already.

At the entrance of the Zhang family's residence, with Prime Minister Yin leading the way on a flying shield, they arrived in no time. Looking at the grand formation in front of the Zhang family's residence, Prime Minister Yin showed a hint of surprise.

"Oh? This formation is quite well arranged. Could it be that your father is a formation master?" he asked.

Zhang Yin replied, "Senior, have you been in the Six Sects' territory for so long without hearing about my father's reputation?"

After Prime Minister Yin arrived, he had been busy dealing with the formation patterns at the bottom of the First Heaven Sect and absorbing some sect forces. He hadn't paid attention to other matters in the Six Sects' territory. He had only heard that the saintess of the Heavenly Demon Temple had been defeated by a young junior not older than fifty, which caught his attention and led him to find Zhang Yin.

Seeing that Prime Minister Yin really didn't know about her father, Zhang Yin didn't say much. "Senior, I will go in first. I'm sorry, but I can't bring you into the clan casually."

In Zhang Yin's eyes, this person was likely a Nascent Soul cultivator, so she couldn't bring him in recklessly.

Just then, a familiar voice came from inside. "Fellow Daoist, who has come from afar, please come in for a chat," Zhang Ran's calm voice sounded.

"A Nascent Soul cultivator?" Prime Minister Yin was very surprised. He didn't expect the head of the Zhang family to be at the same cultivation stage as him. Although he was in the later stage, the aura displayed by the other party just now was that of an early stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

But being in the Nascent Soul stage was worthy of respect, and at this stage, one had the qualifications to have an equal conversation with Prime Minister Yin.

The doors of the Zhang family's residence opened automatically. Prime Minister Yin showed an interested expression and walked in confidently.

Inside the Zhang family's main hall, Zhang Ran stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly. With two fourth-order formations in the Zhang family and his own cultivation at the later stage of Nascent Soul, he naturally had no fear.

When Zhang Yin appeared at the door, Zhang Ran's divine sense swept past and discovered an inscrutable old man standing beside him. Zhang Ran's own spiritual soul was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the fact that he couldn't see through the old man's cultivation meant that the person's cultivation was above the eighth stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Among the six sects in this area, besides Prime Minister Yin, who else could possess such strength?

Watching Prime Minister Yin approach from a distance, Zhang Ran greeted him with a cupped fist. "Fellow Daoist must be Prime Minister Yin of the Great Qian Dynasty, I presume."

As Prime Minister Yin walked in, he became increasingly alarmed because he felt a hint of danger here, something that was absent in the other five sects. Unconsciously, he became more serious towards Zhang Ran.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, your discerning eyes are like torches. A few days ago, there was a mid-stage Nascent Soul demonic beast from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. Could it be your doing?" Prime Minister Yin asked.

Zhang Ran neither admitted nor denied it, but instead waved his hand and brought out two cups of tea.

"Fellow Daoist Yin, please."

"Fellow Daoist Yin, that demonic beast was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. I, as an early-stage cultivator, wouldn't have the ability to handle it," Zhang Ran replied.

Prime Minister Yin smiled faintly. "If it were in the past, I wouldn't believe it. But now, I do. Fellow Daoist Zhang is one of the few people I have admired in my life."

"You flatter me."

Originally, Prime Minister Yin thought that when he arrived at the Zhang family, based on his status and cultivation, the patriarch of the Zhang family would gratefully hand over his daughter to him. But now, Prime Minister Yin's attention had shifted. The value of the Zhang family was much greater than that of the Evergreen Sect.

He said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, if you allow your daughter to return with me, you must understand my intentions. Your daughter has extraordinary talent and will definitely have better development in our Great Qian Dynasty. Therefore, I hope she can cultivate in our Great Qian Dynasty and I can personally make her a princess of the Great Qian Dynasty."

Zhang Ran nodded slightly without saying a word.

Prime Minister Yin continued, "Furthermore, if the Zhang family is willing to join our Great Qian Dynasty, I can speak to the Emperor on your behalf and grant you titles and land. How about it?"

"Oh? Prime Minister Yin is so sincere. If I refuse, it would be disrespectful," Zhang Ran was also surprised that Prime Minister Yin had offered such favorable conditions on his first visit.

Zhang Ran had previously learned about the Great Qian Dynasty from Yu Yan and knew that they wouldn't go back on their word. Prime Minister Yin's words were eighty percent trustworthy, and Zhang Ran maintained a cautious attitude for the remaining twenty percent.

"In that case, if the patriarch of the Zhang family doesn't agree, I won't force you," Prime Minister Yin chuckled. If he were wearing plain clothes, he would definitely look like a friendly old man next door.

Zhang Yin, who was standing silently on the side, suddenly spoke without expression. Her innermost desire was to develop in a better place. She blurted out, "Prime Minister Yin, my father is a fourth-rank alchemist."

Prime Minister Yin's expression froze, and he seemed slightly moved as he asked, "Is that true?"

Zhang Ran didn't blame Zhang Yin for interrupting. He knew that she was speaking up for him, trying to secure more favorable conditions from the Great Qian Dynasty. "Prime Minister Yin, my daughter speaks out of turn. Please don't mind."

Prime Minister Yin became noticeably more polite. "Not at all. If she hadn't mentioned it, I would have missed the opportunity to meet a fourth-rank alchemist, and also a formidable fourth-rank formation master."

Prime Minister Yin, who was currently in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, naturally needed a large number of fourth-rank pills for his cultivation. The several fourth-rank alchemists in the Great Qian Dynasty were all highly respected. If he could establish a good relationship with this person now, it would make things much easier in terms of pill supply in the future.

After hesitating for a while, Prime Minister Yin seemed to have made a decision in his heart. "Patriarch Zhang, I can't make this decision entirely on my own. If you are interested, I can speak on your behalf in front of the Emperor and try to grant you a title as a male royal."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but be tempted. The kings of the Great Qian Dynasty were mostly Nascent Soul cultivators. According to what Yu Yan had said, there were only three princes, and the one who pursued her back then was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. But they all had royal bloodlines.

As an outsider, it was extremely rare to be granted the title of a male royal in the Great Qian Dynasty. The benefits were numerous. A royal title came with a land of 300,000 mu, as well as one human-grade spiritual vein and three mortal-grade spiritual veins. Just based on these three mortal-grade spiritual veins, Zhang Ran's heart was moved, not to mention the annual salary of over a hundred high-grade spirit stones, the status in the Great Qian Dynasty, and the immediate fame throughout the Heavenly South Immortal Cultivation Domain after being granted the title of a male royal.
