Since the great upheaval of the Mingcang Sect years ago, the Xuanmen Families have risen above the master-disciple lineage. However, after the Three Pools Lake Demon was eradicated, the master-disciple lineage began to recover and rise again, once more gaining the upper hand over the noble families.
For over a century, the noble families have long since lost their cohesive unity of past years. Facing the aggressive momentum of the master-disciple lineage, they are now scattered like loose sand. Over the past twenty years, Sect Leader Qin Mobai has successively defeated several Xuanmen Families.
Recognizing the unfavorable situation, the Five Great Families within the sect secretly maneuvered and pushed forward the Twelve Great Families to resurrect the Elixir Tasting Conference, aiming solely to restore prestige, gather support, and rally morale.
