"Are you aware of who from the Zhao Family has come?"

Wu Jiang replied truthfully, "It is the eldest son of the Zhao Family, Zhao Wuji, along with the ninth son, Zhao Chanzhen."

Qin Ming knew that since the Zhao Family had come, it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse them at the door, and it would be too difficult for Wu Jiang as well.

Thus.

He calmly said, "Alright, please invite the two young masters of the Zhao Family in."

After a short while.

A young man with a rather composed appearance, along with the previously seen Zhao Chanzhen, arrived at the Guest Welcoming Tower on Wangyue Island, led by Wu Jiang.

Seeing the two of them, Qin Ming's face broke into a smile. He cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Young masters, I apologize for not welcoming you from afar. Please come inside and have a cup of Spirit Tea."

Qin Ming briefly glanced at the two of them.

Zhao Wuji's cultivation was at Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, but his strength should be outstanding at this level. Qin Ming found it difficult to see through him.

As for Zhao Chanzhen, he had also broken through to Early-stage Foundation Establishment. A few years back, when he came to contend for Spirit Island, he was already at Qi Cultivation Perfection.

Considering his aptitude and the resources of the Zhao Family, reaching Foundation Establishment shouldn't have been difficult for him.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Qin on reaching Foundation Establishment and advancing further on the Immortal Dao."

"This is a modest gift, just a small token."

After saying this, Zhao Chanzhen smiled slightly and handed a delicate jade box to Qin Ming.

Just the material of the jade box's packaging indicated that it contained something quite valuable.

Qin Ming accepted the jade box without opening it, discreetly putting it away.

Zhao Chanzhen then introduced, "This is my elder brother, Zhao Wuji."

"Fellow Daoist Zhao."

"Fellow Daoist Qin."

Greetings were exchanged between them.

As they were all guests, Qin Ming brewed a pot of Spirit-Gathering Tea for the two of them.

The Spirit-Gathering Tea, brewed with Spiritual Spring Water, had an ethereal spirit essence and an overflowing tea fragrance that filled the elegant room.

Zhao Wuji and his companion took just one sip and immediately felt a wave of Spiritual Qi flowing through their bodies, slowly nourishing their Divine Thought, making them feel incredibly comfortable and refreshed.

"Excellent tea!"

"As expected of the Spirit-Gathering Tea. Fellow Daoist Qin, would you be willing to sell some of the tea leaves to me?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, you're joking."

He then took out a small box of Spirit-Gathering Tea and gifted it to them, considering it a return gift.

Next.

The three began to chat casually.

"Thinking back, it has been several years. Fellow Daoist Qin and I first met and got acquainted on this island."

"During our initial competition in magic arts, your Yin Thunder really gave me quite a fright! Hahaha!" Zhao Chanzhen teased as he spoke.

In this invisible way, he sought to get closer to Qin Ming.

Hearing this, Qin Ming humbly replied, "Haha, fortunately, Fellow Daoist Zhao was accommodating, otherwise, I wouldn't have become the Isle Master."

Back then, if it weren't for the unexpected appearance of Zhao Chanzhen, Qin Ming wouldn't have been able to secure Wangyue Island at such a minimal cost.

After chatting for a while.

Seeing that the timing was about right.

Zhao Wuji then timely extended an olive branch to Qin Ming, offering extremely favorable conditions.

A Tier Two Middle-Grade Spirit Plant Master, along with the status of a Tier Two Alchemy Master, in any major faction, would be given the identity and treatment of an Inner Sect Elder.

Moreover, Qin Ming had now become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming naturally could not agree to their proposal.

He politely declined the Zhao Family's offer.

Just as he had dealt with the 72 Island Loose Alliance, he didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the two sides and clearly stated his neutral stance.

The two young masters of the Zhao Family, before coming, had already understood well that Qin Ming had connections with the Mirror Snow Pavilion.

They didn't expect to truly recruit him.

The main purpose of their visit was to explore Qin Ming's attitude.

After exchanging views for half a day.

The two young masters of the Zhao Family took their leave.
