Seeing that Qin Changqing remained silent with a smile, Li Ruoyu took out a jade scroll from her storage bag.
“As a token of my sincerity, I would like to offer this to the head of the Qin family.”
“This is…”
“Disaster-Alleviating Golden Elixir.” Li Ruoyu thought Qin Changqing was clueless and explained, “This kind of elixir can help cultivators at the peak of the Golden Elixir realm form three stripes, or even more for those with better talent. It’s an ancient pill recipe passed down from ancient times, and few people know about it now.”
Qin Changqing was astonished, “Isn’t that priceless?”
He had indeed gone out of his way to look into this.
Unfortunately, there was no record of it in the Lingxiao Sect, and even Lu Jingtian wasn’t able to craft it.
That’s how alchemy works. Without the pill recipe, it doesn’t matter how skilled an alchemist is.
Qin Changqing wasn’t sure if Nangong Xue had the recipe, but he guessed she did, or how else would she know the ingredients?
Of course, there are no absolutes.
So Qin Changqing politely accepted it without hesitation.
“I am grateful for Miss Li’s kind intention. As for the matter of the top-grade elixir … there’s no reason to hide it, the elixir truly originated from the Qin family.”
Li Ruoyu’s eyes lit up, “Could the head of the Qin family introduce me to the alchemist?”
“There’s no rush for that.” Qin Changqing smiled, “Miss Li, since you’ve come all this way, how about I give you a tour of my Qin home?”
A tour?
What could possibly be worth seeing in this small Qin family household?
Li Ruoyu inwardly shook her head. It wasn’t that she was being dismissive, but she was from the Danqing Pavilion, where even a random piece of land was much larger than the entire Qin Mansion.
However, Li Ruoyu quickly thought of something else.
Maybe if she paid more attention.
She might catch a glimpse of that mysterious alchemist.
Just then.
The housekeeper entered the hall with a respectful demeanor.
“Master, Saintess Zhuge is here to visit.”
Zhuge Wanqing originally planned to have a good talk with Qin Changqing about the alchemist after the Alchemy Convention ended.
But she hadn’t expected Li Ruoyu to actually turn up at Qin Mansion.
What was she here for?
Even though Zhuge Wanqing wasn’t particularly passionate about factional strife, she needed to solve the issues of Qingyang Pavilion and Yunxia Pavilion if she wanted to unify the Danqing Pavilion.
Therefore, she couldn’t let Li Ruoyu get the upper hand when it came to recruiting talent for the Danging Pavilion.
A fourth-order alchemist was not that special to the Danqing Pavilion.
However, if this alchemist possessed some technique to concoct top-grade elixirs, then the significance would be extraordinary.
Considering this, she had to get information about this person through Qin Changqing.
As soon as she found out Li Ruoyu was going to the Qin Mansion, Zhuge Wanqing immediately sprang into action.
Luckily, when she saw Qin Changqing and Li Ruoyu, she could tell from the latter’s expression that she hadn’t succeeded yet.
“Greetings, head of the Qin family.”
“Miss Zhuge is too kind.” Qin Changqing smiled, “Your Danqing Pavilion is really enthusiastic. No sooner had my junior sister set foot in here than you, her senior sister, followed.’
Zhuge Wanqing smiled, “I had some free time, and there were plenty of interesting events at the Alchemy Convention today. So, I thought I might come to chat with the head of the Qin family. And, I haven’t paid a visit yet… I hope we aren’t interrupting, are we?”
“Of course not, you’re always welcome. Not just for a visit, you can stay as long as you like.” Qin Changqing said, grinning.
“My senior sister is indeed well-informed.” For some reason, Li Ruoyu had put on a veil, and her tone had become cold again.
“What is my junior sister talking about?” Zhuge Wanqing feigned ignorance.
The two sisters weren’t exactly tea masters, and Qin Changqing found their interaction somewhat uninspiring. However, watching two beauties quarrel did indeed prove to be an interesting sight.
Yes, he loved watching women fight most of all.
But after Zhuge Wanqing arrived, it was not appropriate for Li Ruoyu to directly ask about the mysterious alchemist. Taking advantage of this situation, Qin Changqing personally escorted the two women around the Qin Mansion.At some loft in the back courtyard.
Xi’er was cracking melon seeds while watching the scene below.
“Girls, our eldest brother brought back two girls. Do you think they will become our new sisters?”
“Xi’er, you’re a fairy. Don’t adopt this vulgar demeanor.”
“But the melon seeds are delicious.”
“That’s not what I’m talking about.”
“Then what are you referring to?”
Now, at the loft, it’s the ladies’ tea time in the afternoon.
The Qin family, after all, isn’t a sect, deeply immersed in the worldly hustle and bustle. Totally cutting off from worldly life is impossible, hence, these wives of Qin Changqing all share a touch of ‘vulgarity’.
Even Mu Ling, who was wholly devoted to cultivating the array formation, has recently started to occasionally join the others for tea.
Since she was pregnant, she also started to rest more.
However, Qin Changqing thought that this was good. Cultivation isn’t monasticism. How can one cultivate to immortality if one has no desires or wants?
Throughout the entire Qin mansion, probably only Qin Lingshuang reeked less of ‘vulgarity’.
Firstly, she often secludes herself recently, aiming to cultivate her sword intent to completion before the arrival of the Tianti Road.
Secondly, well, she hasn’t gotten pregnant yet!!!
Without a child, her feelings naturally won’t run very deep.
“Danqing Pavilion…” Mu Ling, with her big belly, furrowed her brows slightly: “One of them should be Zhuge Wanqing, the saintess of Danqing Pavilion. As for the other, I am not too sure.’
“Mu Ling, is Danqing Pavilion very powerful?”
“I don’t know much about Danqing Pavilion, but I’ve heard my father mention it. It’s a well-known third-grade sect in the Northern Region. However, in terms of overall strength, it is comparable to an average second-grade sect.” Everyone was surprised.
Many of the wives came from lower-level cultivation families. To them, Lingxiao Sect was already a juggernaut. But Lingxiao Sect was just a fifth-grade sect.
How strong would a sect comparable to a second-grade sect be?
The saintess of such a sect actually came to the Qin family?
Could their husband handle that?
Su Xiaoyue chuckled lightly: “Don’t guess wildly. My husband has his own plans.”
“Who are they?”
While the wives were sizing up Zhuge Wanqing and Li Ruoyu, the two also noticed them.
In fact, they had already scoured the Qin family’s information thoroughly beforehand.
“Oh, they are all my wives.” Qin Changqing laughed.
There was no trace of awkwardness.
As long as he wasn’t awkward, others would feel the awkwardness.
Moreover, no one said you can’t marry wives, right?
Zhuge Wanqing was dumbfounded, “Master Qin is indeed a man of personality.”
“Haha! That’s what everyone says about me.”
Li Ruoyu retracted her gaze from the loft, pondering on how to win over Qin Changqing… She was eager to get Qin Changqing to introduce that mysterious alchemist to her. Li Ruoyu’s urgency was not without reason. It was not only about recruiting talent, she also wanted to learn the other’s alchemy techniques in order to defeat Zhuge Wanqing.
As long as she could outdo Zhuge Wanqing, her position in Qingyang Pavilion would be different.
Regrettably, after a round, Li Ruoyu didn’t find any place related to alchemy in the Qin Mansion.
“Seems that… I really have to start with Qin Changqing.”
Li Ruoyu was plotting this, and so was Zhuge Wanqing next to her.
Although they were competitors, they understood each other quite well. Zhuge Wanqing knew that Li Ruoyu hasn’t achieved her goal yet, but she must have offered some benefits to Qin Changqing, because the latter was obviously more enthusiastic when facing Li Ruoyu than her..
