Nevertheless, the number of their descendants grew by the hundreds. The blood of the descendants had been diluted to a fraction of a hundred over the generations, and many of them could not proudly claim to be the descendants of the Jin family.
In nine generations, the number of descendants was reduced to 1/512, and in ten generations, it was reduced to 1/24. In the 10th generation, the number was one in 512, and in the 10th generation, one in 10/24, so they could no longer be called blood relatives.
