Deepest background

Yang Qing cleared his mind and continued to read about the Shi family. As he read further he discovered that the Shi family had been stagnating in their alchemy skills and were slowly being pushed away from the scene by a rival clan, the Luo clan which though had a shorter history in comparison to the Shi family, had already caught up to them and exceeded them to the point they had even garnered the cooperative deals with a few prominent organizations with one of them even being the rank 2, Maple leaf manor.

The then clan leader, afraid that his clan would lose out to the Luo clan, accepted the Zhou Clan's offer to venture into the Deer Mountain Range. The range was already known for its rich resources, it was just that the spirit beasts that called the place home deterred most from venturing into the place. There were even rumors back then about a domain expert dying within it which made most human cultivators wary of visiting the place.
