Chapter 2300 - 2295: Meeting the Jin Family

Chapter 2300: Chapter 2295: Meeting the Jin Family

When Tang Ming recounted the events at Demon Origin Mountain to Hu Mei’er, Hu Mei’er was surprised as well.

"I think the Twin Clan would definitely care more about this matter. Moreover, the problems with the Jin Family might also be answered through this incident."

Hu Mei’er remained silent for a while before she spoke.

"Let’s wait until tomorrow morning to see."

Tang Ming contemplated more than Hu Mei’er did. After all, the Twin Clan is different from those invaders; they were once the Slave Clan. If Tang Ming truly reveals the truth, would the Twin Clan acknowledge it?

Sadly, Tang Ming was unaware that Murong’s sister, Mu Qiu, had already set off to West Continent City, and her purpose this time was to meet the elder-seer of the Demon Slayer Clan to uncover the origin of the Twin Clan.

Early the next morning, Murong and Yao Jian visited Tang Ming in his guest quarters as they had arranged to visit the Jin Family’s old residence today.

Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er tidied up briefly and went to the front hall for breakfast.

Murong gave Tang Ming an overview of the Jin Family’s situation, including matters about the Jin Family’s manager, Elder Jin Shuang.

"Let’s wait and see until we’ve met them; I can’t guarantee anything until then."

Seeing Murong’s hopeful expression, Tang Ming smiled at her and said.

Murong sighed deeply; "I was too abrupt. You’re right, without seeing the patient, the Immortal Doctor indeed can’t diagnose the illness."

Tang Ming nodded and didn’t say anything further. The four of them boarded the carriage, and Yao Jian sat at the front, swinging the whip.

The carriage clattered as it left Source Stone City.

"Yesterday, that artifact refining master named Tang Ming left Source Stone City early this morning with Murong and Yao Jian."

At the Feng Family’s residence within Source Stone City, an elderly man with white hair and beard frowned upon receiving the intelligence handed to him by a subordinate.

"The Jin Family and Yao Jian have always been close; you should have considered this."

A woman pouring water nearby approached with a kindly smile on her face.

Gesturing to the subordinate delivering the intelligence to leave, the elder took the tea and sipped: "I originally thought of recruiting that young man into the Feng Family. Didn’t expect the Jin Family got ahead first."

"No, no, no, Elder, you’re overthinking."

The woman waved her hand and then handed a jade scroll to the elder.

Feng Rui looked at the woman with surprise; this woman was named Yun Ji, the assistant appointed by the Family Head.

It is said that Yun Ji had some very ambiguous relations with the Family Head, hence Feng Rui always maintained distance and respect towards Yun Ji.

Ever since Yun Ji came to Source Stone City, business here has increased by ten percent, which made Feng Rui have a newfound admiration for her.

At this moment, Yun Ji handed him a jade scroll, which must have contained very important information.

Feng Rui took a deep breath, accepted the jade scroll, and began to read. As he read the content inside, his eyebrows raised: "Tang Ming, the City Lord of West Continent City, excels in alchemy technique, and once held the position of Hall Master in Tianpo City’s medical hall, extremely formidable. Allegedly, he is the son of the former West Continent City Lord Tang Mosheng."

"The son of Tang Mosheng, is it? I suppose the Family Head might be very interested."

Feng Rui’s lips curled slightly as he spoke.

Like Feng Rui, other major forces settled within Source Stone City also received news of Tang Ming following Yao Jian to the Jin Family.

After all, in Source Stone City, there are only ten individuals who can genuinely refine top-tier Immortal Artifacts. The sudden appearance of Tang Ming disrupted this count of ten, becoming the eleventh, and remained unclaimed.

At this moment, Tang Ming followed Yao Jian directly to the Jin Family; could it be that the Jin Family had recruited Tang Ming?

There were all sorts of speculations, but only the Feng Family had accurate intelligence on Tang Ming. After all, the Feng Family in Source Stone City was the real local force, while other families could only band together to vaguely oppose the Feng Family.

Some families even believed that as long as Tang Ming wasn’t recruited by the Feng Family, it would be a good thing.

When Tang Ming first visited the Jin Family’s old residence, he was equally shocked by everything in front of him. To those in the Jin Family sitting within the old home waiting for death, only they knew what they had experienced in their hearts back then.

Looking at the golden statues, Tang Ming gasped, then said, "The people of the Jin Family chose to wait for death like this, haven’t they ever considered a solution?"

"They’ve thought of every possible solution. There was even someone who attempted a blood transfusion, but unfortunately, he died during the process, not even having a chance to enter the ancestral residence. Our Jin Family uses this way to remind descendants that if you don’t strive to become stronger, you will slowly become like this; stronger capabilities can delay the time of gold transformation."

A hoarse voice emerged from a small room not far away.

Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er both looked toward the room, inside sat an old lady.

She had already undergone gold transformation up to her collarbone, and just above would be the throat. If even her throat underwent gold transformation, she would be unable to speak.

"Tang Ming the City Lord, let me introduce you; this is currently the highest-ranking Elder of the Jin Family, Elder Jin Shuang. Beside her is the Family Head, Jin Baorong."

Murong cheerfully helped introduce them to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er nodded slightly towards Jin Shuang and Jin Baorong, then said, "Greetings, Family Head of the Jin Family and Elder Jin Shuang."

"Hmm, I’ve heard, City Lord Tang Ming, you’re here for the grain trade this time?"

Jin Baorong had no thoughts on Tang Ming potentially curing the gold transformation.

After all, all these years, the Jin Family had almost combed through Taoyuan World without finding a solution. Murong, the conscientious Wood Element Clan Leader of the Twin Clan, had tirelessly worked for the Jin Family’s gold transformation.

Sometimes, Jin Baorong would harbor complaints, but more often, it was gratitude.

Regarding relocating to West Continent City, Jin Baorong had no ideas yet. However, he was concerned about the grain business.

Tang Ming nodded, then said, "Indeed, with this intention. I think Clan Leader Murong should have mentioned to you that abyss demons have already entered the Demon Origin Mountain range. Soon, they’ll emerge from the underground maze to attack West Desolation, and I came to Source Stone City this time firstly to purchase minerals, and secondly to recruit personnel to go over. I’ve heard from Clan Leader Murong about the Jin Family and Twin Clan, and I sincerely hope for the Jin Family and Twin Clan to return to West Desolation."

"Cough cough, City Lord Tang Ming, regarding going to West Desolation, we need to deliberate over it. The mineral purchase is well-spoken, earlier Clan Leader Murong has already discussed with me. If you can provide ten thousand Immortal Rice, I can offer minerals worth the same."

Jin Baorong smiled at Tang Ming and then said.
