Regarding the origins of the Maoshan Sect, Lin Chuan was aware, but he didn't interrupt the old man and continued to listen to him.
The old man continued, "The founder of the Maoshan Sect was our Qin family's ancestor, named Qin Lingyun. When the Maoshan Sect was established, it aimed at serving the world and following the righteous path of cultivation. All the disciples were descendants of Qin Lingyun, so most disciples in the Maoshan Sect have the surname Qin."
Lin Chuan thought to himself, what the old man said wasn't false; indeed, everyone from the Maoshan Sect he encountered had the last name Qin.
The old man said, "The Maoshan Sect originally followed a very orthodox cultivation path, but around the early Qing period, a member of the Qin family accidentally acquired a book. This book contained many evil Taoist skills, and from then on, the Maoshan Sect embarked on a path of no return."
