Secret talk and results

"Little friend Qin, please sit down." Clan leader Lu called for a seat. Some things were known to him, but the procedures still had to be followed.

Qin Ruqing sat down obediently this time.

"I wonder why little friend Qin came?" Clan leader Lu looked at Qin Ruqing. She probably didn't deliberately put on a stern face, but the mysterious pattern engraved on her forehead made her naturally majestic.

"The clan leader must have guessed my purpose a long time ago, so why bother asking?" Qin Ruqing smiled and deliberately played against the rules.

Clan leader Lu was choked.

Guessing is guessing, but there must be a transition to the topic. If everyone talks like you, I'm afraid everyone in the world of immortal cultivation will be enemies.

"Little friend Qin, you want to talk to me about the Fang family?" Clan leader Lu could only get to the point directly, with a helpless tone. Without waiting for Qin Ruqing to ask, he took the initiative to admit: "The Fang family is indeed a subsidiary family of my Lu family."

"Are you sure, patriarch? Since you have already mentioned this, I will express my opinion first. There is a hatred of genocide between our Qin family and the Fang family!" His tone was light and his face was still smiling, but there was an inexplicable murderous aura.

In a narrow sense, genocide means that the enemy has killed all the members of the family.

But the genocide that Qin Ruqing defined himself was the demise of a surname.

The Fang family used rumors and dirty water to drive the Qin family out of the Eastern Region Yingzhou. Since then, the Qin family in the Eastern Region Yingzhou has no longer existed.

This is not genocide. What is it?

Patriarch Lu may not understand Qin Ruqing's logic, but she can obviously feel Qin Ruqing's attitude from these four words that fell to the ground.

In this world, any matter, once it involves the hatred of exterminating a clan, it must be a fight to the death and there is no way to end it peacefully. In addition, anyone who interferes with the revenge of the exterminated family will also be held jointly responsible.

Qin Ruqing's assertion of "the hatred of exterminating the clan" is not a reminder to the Lu family: I will kill this family as soon as possible, Lu family, you must carefully choose your position. Otherwise, it will incur the hatred and revenge of Qin Ruqing.

Patriarch Lu remained silent, thinking. The whole secret room also fell into a stagnation because of this terrible silence.

Qin Ruqing seemed not to notice. Her face was relaxed, and she comforted the Lu clan leader, "Don't worry, clan leader. So far, Ruqing has no ill feelings towards the Lu family!"

"By the way, Ruqing still doesn't know one thing. The Lu family is an ancient spirit-raising family. They have been in seclusion for many years. How could they find the Fang family as a subsidiary family? I think the Fang family may not be able to help the Lu family. On the contrary, this family is rampant. It is possible that one day it will drag down the Lu family - just like today." Qin Ruqing reminded thoughtfully.

The Lu clan leader couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Just like today... How considerate! It means that the Lu family is implicated by the Fang family. Without the Fang family, Qin Ruqing would not be able to sit here straight today and ask the Lu family for justice.

If you think about it this way in the future, with the relationship of the spirit, maybe they can become allies, but they can't be enemies.

Patriarch Lu really didn't know how to evaluate this person. Should she be considered considerate or arrogant?

Arrogant, of course. She revealed an attitude without any reservation - she, Qin Ruqing, is a big shot, but also a big trouble. It is a trouble to the point that their noble Huling clan, a mysterious hidden family, has to face up to and be vigilant.

Patriarch Lu couldn't help but want to smile at Qin Ruqing. This smile was of course the ancient Huling clan's ridicule of a little girl who didn't know the immensity of the world.

But when Patriarch Lu wanted to move the corners of her mouth, she found that she couldn't laugh.

Qin Ruqing, indeed has the capital to make the Lu family feel threatened.

If her performance in Guixu was not enough to make the Huling clan take her seriously, her ability to awaken the spirit of the weapon was what really made the Lu family vigilant.

No one knows what happened to the weapon spirit better than the Lu family.

It was obviously an accident of heaven. After the accident happened, heaven would naturally take it back.

Therefore, the weapon spirit would gradually weaken and begin to sleep all year round. It would inevitably sleep, because it could not withstand the erosion of the rules, gradually turned into a dead spirit, and finally dissipated between heaven and earth.

But Qin Ruqing saved this accident.

The meaning behind this is simply too much to think about - could it be that she can actually change the will of heaven!

The head of the Lu family, who has been dealing with the spirits of heaven and earth for many years, is deeply jealous of this. Unless it is absolutely necessary, she really doesn't want the Lu family to confront such a monster.

All kinds of thoughts are only in a flash, and the head of the Lu family calmly found that she already had the answer. This answer made her change her attitude unconsciously when she looked at Qin Ruqing. Her face looked "softer", almost "kind". For an old woman with strange patterns all over her face, it was too difficult to do this.

She spoke, explaining Qin Ruqing's previous question.

"The relationship between our Lu family and Fang family is actually related to weapon spirits."

"If it weren't for weapon spirits, we actually wouldn't want to recruit any affiliated families. Like you said, there's really no need for that."

Qin Ruqing sat there expressionlessly, with no intention of speaking. Seeing this, Patriarch Lu could only continue talking.

"The weapon spirit was not in the lotus pond at first. More than a hundred years ago, our spirit-raising clan discovered its traces in an ancient secret realm. It was attached to a book. Later, the book came into the hands of the Fang family by chance."

Qin Ruqing frowned instinctively when she heard this. The words "ancient secret realm", "Fang family" and "book" touched her sharp nerves. But for a moment, she seemed to be unable to grasp the key.

Until Patriarch Lu said the last sentence, "...The name of the book is the Secret Book of Divine Pills."

Qin Ruqing raised her head and stared at Patriarch Lu.

Patriarch Lu knew that she might have guessed something, and nodded slowly as if to confirm.

"Of course we couldn't tell the truth about the Fang family's weapon spirit, so we used a little trick... anyway, the magic pill secret book came into our hands, and as compensation, the Fang family became our affiliated family."

Qin Ruqing showed a hint of mockery on his face. When Patriarch Lu said "a little trick", he was completely indifferent.

There is no need to elaborate on what the trick was. In the world of immortal cultivation, fists are the hardest.

As a hidden family, the Lu family has the ability to raise spirits. Even the immortal Feng family has a headache with them, let alone the small Fang family at that time.

"So, the magic pill secret book is now in your house? It seems that I haven't heard that the Lu family has made any achievements in the way of alchemy in recent years..." Qin Ruqing hinted.

"Because, what the Lu family cares about most is the spirit attached to the secret book, and they are not that interested in the alchemy itself. So, after the spirit was invited to the lotus pond, the secret book was put into the warehouse and never taken out again..." Patriarch Lu seemed a little embarrassed at the end, and she uncomfortably changed her staff to another hand.

Qin Ruqing felt only irony.

An ancient secret realm was born that year, causing many disputes. The Qin and Fang families fought in it because of a rare treasure, which made people's hearts change and caused the Qin family's later disaster.

But this rare treasure that the Qin and Fang families fought for was not taken seriously and kept in the warehouse, gathering dust for many years.

And the truth of all this was learned by her, a young member of the Qin family, in the process of twists and turns.

Looking at it from a general perspective, how can one not say that fate plays tricks on people?

Because of Qin Ruqing's silence, the secret room was so quiet that it was a little unsettling. Patriarch Lu also realized that what she said would probably not make Qin Ruqing happy, so she could only go back and say:

"If Qin Xiaoyou is interested in that magic pill secret book..."

Qin Ruqing deliberately raised her head at this time, revealing an interested look. She wanted to hear what the old woman said next.

"...You can exchange it with our Lu family for merit points." Under such a teasing look, Patriarch Lu still finished the sentence.

"Oh? Merit points? I don't know what these merit points are?" Qin Ruqing asked as if she didn't understand.

In fact, she knew a lot, and most of the noble families used this method of merit exchange.

"According to the Lu family's rules, contributions to the family are scored, and the accumulated points can be used to exchange for treasures in the family treasury."

"But I remember that I'm not a member of the Lu family? How can I accumulate merits?"

The head of the Lu family certainly knew that Qin Ruqing had noticed her intention, but the following words... Even if she didn't hold out hope, she had to mention it at least, otherwise, the Lu family would be unwilling.

She held the staff, and even her voice could not help but rise, saying with hope: "As long as Qin Xiaoyou can tell us the method to awaken the spirit of the weapon, or the principle, we are willing to hand over the secret book of the magic pill!"

Listen! Hand it over! As if she was given some great benefit.

Qin Ruqing didn't want to talk anymore, so she stood up, brushed off the non-existent dust on her skirt, straightened up, looked at Patriarch Lu, and said calmly:

"Excuse me, the value of these two is probably not the same."

"The secret book of the magic pill? I'm not very interested in it for now, so I'll just keep it in the Lu family's clan storehouse for now."

This was neither right nor wrong.

"For now", that is to say, there is a possibility of going back later?

Patriarch Lu wanted to say something but stopped, but saw that Qin Ruqing had already made a move to leave.

Before leaving, she left a last sentence:

"I will definitely take action against the Fang family. As for the Lu family's position, please think carefully. I have something else to do here, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, she nodded slightly, and left without waiting for Patriarch Lu to reply.

She has always regarded herself as a junior, but who dares to treat her as a junior? Clan leader Lu could only watch Qin Ruqing walk out.

Not long after she left, a crack appeared on the back wall of the secret room, and several people in long robes walked out. They were several priests of the Lu family. They did not leave before, but hid in the entrance behind the secret room.

"This girl is like a loach, slippery and hard to control..." a priest complained.

Before he finished speaking, he saw the clan leader suddenly raised his hand and stopped him with a stern look. The priest shut his mouth.

"Don't talk about control in the future. You dare to think of controlling someone who cannot be controlled by the two great immortals..."

The priest understood this truth, but...

"She is just alone, and the Qin clan behind her is not worth mentioning. If you really use the power of the family to imprison her, it is not impossible."

"Stupid!" The clan leader scolded, "Qin Ruqing is more useful alive than dead. At this time when the human race is in danger, no one would be willing to kill such a person..." He paused, "Except, the Fang family."

When the Fang family was mentioned, the priests' eyes became subtle, "Clan leader, the Fang family..."

"We will not interfere." This short sentence directly set the tone for the matter, and there was no room for change.

To this, the priests had no objection and nodded in agreement. Only in the corner, a priest did not speak. His face was hidden in the darkness, and I couldn't see his features clearly, but I don't think he would object.

After leaving the secret room, the priest came to a deserted courtyard of the Lu family where few people lived. He made a seal with his fingers, and seemed to offer some magic weapon, and then began to speak to the magic weapon.

His vague voice came from the wind:

"The Lu family will not intervene... I can only remind you so much... You take care of yourselves."
