Our vein is rather special, it’s not the same as the other one, because we are relatively low-key compared to them!” Lin Zhantian laughed and said, “So people outside do not know that we are in this vein, even the disciples of our own Qingfeng Mountain vein do not anything about this secret vein, because only those who have reached the truth realm are considered the members of this secret vein, but most of these truth level members are in the depths of space and time and practicing, they don’t come out much often.”
(NT: There are actually two veins of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school. First one is weak and known to everyone, second is a secret vein which accepts only truth level disciples from Qingfeng Mountain as members.)
“In fact, the founder of our vein was actually the closing disciple of the patriarch of Yi Yuan School, when he got old, he handed his legacies down to his closing disciple, this continued for generations, but we have always been relatively low-key, slowly working in the shadows.” Lin Zhantian said. (NT: Closing disciples = last disciple of a master.)
Seeing the confused look on Ye Xiwen’s face, Lin Zhantian began to tell Ye Xiwen about the origin of this vein. The founder of Qingfeng Mountain vein was actually the youngest closing disciple of Yi Yuan School’s patriarch, who was already reaching the final years of his life. After his skill enhanced, he left Yi Yuan School and went out. Actually, at that time, the governance of Yi Yuan School was in the hands of the other senior closing disciples of the patriarch. The ten great disciples had firmly grasped full control over the entire Yi Yuan School and did not want to welcome him, after all, if he joined then it would certainly disrupt the existing equilibrium of power and they did not want that to happen.
Qingfeng Mountain vein’s founder was not willing to start a conflict with his fellow brothers and also had no interest in the struggle for power, so he left the Main Sect and went to the Qingfeng Mountain, where he established the Qingfeng Mountain vein and handed down all his techniques and legacies, taught by the patriarch of Yi Yuan School himself, and it now existed as the branch of Yi Yuan School till present.
Ye Xiwen also came to understand the reason that Qingfeng Mountain vein maintained a low-key because of the other ten main veins, because they would be scared that Qingfeng Mountain vein would become extremely strong and might take away their share, so this was for the best of all.
However, Ye Xiwen finally understood that no wonder there were so many similarities between Qingfeng Mountain sub-school and Yi Yuan School’s Main Sect, and it was also able to monopolize a treasure like Blood Yuan fruit for so many years.
