Ding! Triggering the side quest!

Qin Ruqing is still worried about how to improve her qualifications - although it is indeed a very happy thing that the system says that she is highly talented. She

is only one step away from the level of "revitalizing the family"!

However, being one step away does not mean reaching it.

The life-and-death crisis has not been resolved.

Just when Qin Ruqing was racking her brains to think about how to cross this "one step away" threshold, her parents also thought about it with her.

Qin Deming brought Qin Ruqing a spirit-enhancing bead on the third day.

The reason why it was not the second day was because the spirit-enhancing bead was too rare.

It is the spiritual essence in the body of a deep-sea clams, and not just any clams can condense into such an essence. Only clams that are more than ten thousand years old have been polished for at least a thousand years, and only then will there be a chance of producing such a bead.

Grind it into powder, mix it with water and give it to young children who have not yet drawn qi into their bodies. It can cleanse the marrow, increase the spirit and improve the quality.

Now, what Qin Deming took to Qin Ruqing was the Enlightenment Pearl taken from the body of a 50,000-year-old dragon clam. This is extremely rare among the Enlightenment Pearls.

It is silver-white in color, about the size of a fingertip, and the round and plump pearl body has a faint pink light flashing through it, which can also shine brightly in a dim environment.

Qin Ruqing held her breath and asked, "Dad, what is this?"

"This is the Soul-Enhancing Pearl," Qin Deming said, "It can cleanse the meridians and marrow, strengthen the spirit and body. The clan test will be in two days, and this is a little gift from mom and dad to Qingqing."

Qin Ruqing blinked and deliberately said, "Dad, are you afraid that I will embarrass you in the clan test?"

Qin Deming secretly glared at his daughter, and when he saw her eyes rolling around, he knew that the child was playing tricks.

"Dad hopes that Qingqing can test out a good qualification, so that the family can set a higher standard for Qingqing's spiritual cultivation."

The better the qualification, the more resources the family is willing to allocate in the spiritual cultivation stage. The influence of different grades of spiritual cultivation on future production is very different.

I heard that some children from great immortal cultivation families spent countless natural resources and treasures during the period of cultivating spirits. Once they drew Qi into their bodies, they could directly reach the fifth level of Qi training, which was better than others who had practiced for ten or twenty years. Not to mention the future cultivation, there is basically no bottleneck below the Yuan Infant stage. That's amazing.

Qin Ruqing looked at the Qi Enlightenment Pearl that was carefully placed in the jade box and asked, "How do I eat this? Such a big pearl, should I swallow it directly?"

Qin Deming was amused. This child was always smart, but he could be stupid sometimes.

"Silly child, of course I should grind it into powder and take it with water."

While Qin Deming was dealing with the Qi Enlightenment Pearl, Qin Ruqing asked the system sharply, "Then after using this, can my qualifications reach the level you mentioned?"

[No. 】

【The Spirit Enlightenment Pearl does have the effect of cleansing the marrow, increasing the spirit, and improving the qualifications, but among the same type of spiritual objects in heaven and earth, it is a relatively basic one, and the effect on improving the host's qualifications is limited. 】

I understand.

The system said before that she was only one step away from the level of "revitalizing the family". It sounds very close, but she also knows in her heart that this kind of problem involving talent and qualifications is often just a breath away.

As long as this breath is not raised, it is the difference between heaven and earth.

The Spirit Enlightenment Pearl does have the effect of improving qualifications. But for her, it is not effective enough and cannot cause qualitative changes.

That's a bit troublesome.

It's easy to imagine that her parents must have spent a lot of money to find this Spirit Enlightenment Pearl for her. But now the Spirit Enlightenment Pearl that she got with so much trouble is useless to her.

I won't mention the waste, the point is, her life is still in jeopardy!

"System, is there any spiritual object in the mall that can change my qualifications?"

The system was very frugal with words: [Yes.]

Qin Ruqing wanted to ask more, but heard a noise from the door and quickly retracted her consciousness.

Qin Deming, who had gone out to deal with the Enlightenment Pearl, came back with a white jade porcelain bowl in his hand. He smiled and said, "Come on, Qingqing, take this bowl of spiritual liquid, and your mother and I can rest assured."

Qin Ruqing stared at the swaying liquid in the white jade bowl hesitantly. The Enlightenment Pearl powder did not have any color when added, but the glimmering light in the water like broken stars made people feel its extraordinaryness.

The question in front of her now is, should she drink this bowl of spiritual liquid made with the Enlightenment Pearl powder or not?

If she drinks it, even if it can't save her life, she can comfort herself that even the smallest bit is still meat. It's better than nothing.

If she doesn't drink it... the Spirit Enlightenment Pearl is useless to her, then what about other people? Such a precious spiritual object, does it have no other uses?

Qin Ruqing thought about it and still felt that this bowl of spiritual liquid should not be drunk so hastily. Wait for a while. If there is really no other way, it won't be too late to drink it before the clan meeting. But if she drinks it now, she won't be able to get it out by then.

It's not difficult to fool Dad right now. That is, there is another question -

will there be any special reaction after drinking this thing? If I don't drink it, can Dad detect it? If there is a reaction, it will be exposed later.

Fearing something unexpected would happen, Qin Ruqing examined the jade bowl for a while and deliberately asked, "Daddy, is this spiritual liquid powerful? Will my body have any strange reactions?"

Qin Deming stroked his beautiful beard and laughed, "Silly child, the liquid medicine given to young children who have not yet drawn qi into their bodies is extremely mild. Don't worry, there will be no reaction after drinking it, just like drinking a bowl of water. Dad will set up a spirit gathering array by your bed, and you will be fine after a good sleep."

There will be no reaction? Just a good sleep?

I'll be relieved if you say so.

Qin Ruqing said "oh", moved to the edge of the bowl, as if he was going to drink it, but suddenly he snorted and wrinkled his face. She deliberately moved away and said, "Daddy, it smells weird, Qingqing doesn't want to drink it."

Qin Deming sniffed it suspiciously. It did smell like salty seawater, but it wasn't bad and the smell was very light.

"This, this is for you to improve your qualifications, Qingqing, don't mess around!" Qin Deming frowned in a strange way.

Qin Ruqing chopped her feet, still frowning, pretending to be willful and said, "No, it smells too bad..."

She secretly raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Deming, as if she was frightened by his stern face, and said, "How about, Daddy, go get me a bowl of sugar water, it should be better to drink it with sugar water."

Qin Deming has always doted on young girls, and Qin Ruqing really didn't like taking medicine since she was a child, so he didn't doubt it at all. When Qin Deming heard that she only needed to take a bowl of sugar water, he was relieved. He nodded at her with a smile, then got up and went out.

Qin Ruqing poked her head to look around, and after making sure that her father had left, she took out a small jade bottle from the storage bag tied around her waist.

This storage bag was a birthday gift from her father on her birthday a few days ago. In order to experience the feeling of cultivating immortals, she deliberately put in a small jade bottle that often appeared in novels.

Look, it's being used!

Qin Ruqing carefully put the spiritual liquid into the jade bottle, and then put the jade bottle back into the storage bag.

When Qin Deming came back, he saw Qin Ruqing putting down the bowl, frowning and wiping her mouth. As soon as she saw him, Qin Ruqing yelled, "Dad, give me the sugar water, the smell makes me want to vomit!"

Qin Deming was startled, and hurriedly took the bowl over, and clumsily patted Qin Ruqing on the back. Seeing his daughter gulping down the sugar water, he hurriedly asked, "How is it, is it better?"

Qin Ruqing nodded as if she was relieved, and said angrily, "It's really hard to drink, I won't drink this next time."

Qin Deming laughed. The spirit-enhancing pearl can only be taken once in a lifetime, and it will have no effect after taking it, so there is no second time.

He didn't say anything, and carefully placed a small spirit-gathering array on Qin Ruqing's bed, and coaxed her to go to bed. Qin Ruqing did as he was told this time.

Qin Deming stood by the bed and watched for a while, and for a moment he wanted to use his spiritual energy to check the situation inside his daughter's body.

It's not that he doubted it, but the reaction of drinking the awakening spirit pearl that he had bought at such a high price was mediocre, which made him suddenly feel panic and unreality.

Qingqing asked the right question, is it enough to just sleep like this? Is there really no need to take some auxiliary spiritual medicine? Has Qingqing's qualifications changed secretly? What will she become?

Qin Deming felt complicated for a while, but he gave up the idea of ​​using spiritual energy to investigate.

It's because the child who has not drawn qi into the body cannot withstand the investigation of spiritual energy. Even if he moved slightly, he didn't dare to gamble with the child's future.

Seeing that Qingqing's breathing had stabilized, Qin Deming sighed into the air and finally left.

Even after Qin Deming left, Qin Ruqing didn't dare to move.

She slept very hard and patiently, fearing that someone would come to check on her. Her caution was not in vain, as Luo Xian was worried about her daughter and came to check on her. But Qin Ruqing didn't know.

After waking up, Qin Ruqing didn't move, but asked the system in her mind: "System, you just said that there is a spiritual medicine in the mall that can make my qualifications reach that level, what is it?"

The system seemed to have a mature and dignified temperament, and it directly called up the mall page.

Marrow Cleansing Pill, Foundation Building Pill, Ganoderma Lucidum, Rebirth Flower...

The dazzling moment really made Qin Ruqing dazzled. The final picture froze, showing a green jade medicine bottle.

Qin Ruqing read out the words on it: "Building God Liquid?"

The picture changed, showing the specific effects of Building God Liquid.

[Building God Liquid, a fifth-grade spiritual medicine. Effects: Enhances spirit and Qi, cleanses the meridians and marrow, strengthens the body, and nourishes the soul. 】

Qin Ruqing swallowed. Sure enough, the system's moves were extraordinary. This style is extraordinary at first glance.

Fifth-grade spiritual medicine - this world is graded by grade, and spiritual medicines and weapons are divided into grades one to nine. Nine is the lowest, and one is the highest. Fifth-grade spiritual medicine, even if the Qin family treasury is emptied, there will be no such grade.

"Such a precious spiritual medicine, how can I get it?"

[Redeem with points]

Qin Ruqing thought, here it comes.

"Then, how many points does it cost?"

The white panel showed a string of numbers as coldly as the system's face.

[Five thousand. ]

Qin Ruqing laughed dryly: "Then, how many points do I have now?"

The page shook like water waves, and the number in front of 5000 was erased, and only one word was left, "0"

Qin Ruqing: Hehe.

She knew it.

Qin Ruqing tried to bargain: "System, we are one and the same. You know, there is no way I can get 5,000 points, not even if you kill me. If I can't pass this level, I will be forced to hibernate first, but you!"

The page shook slowly, and this time no words appeared for a long time.

Qin Ruqing always felt that the system was sighing.

After a long time, the words finally appeared.

[2500, this is the biggest discount I can open within my authority, only once.]

Two thousand five? She still can't afford it!

Qin Ruqing rubbed her hands: "I heard that newcomers like me have a novice gift package at the beginning, so, let's say... do I have it?"

This time, the system was silent for longer than before.

Qin Ruqing pinched her throat and shouted loudly: "System! We are one! One!"

The page still did not show any characters. Qin Ruqing thought, do you need to encourage her again?

Before Qin Ruqing could take any action, a ding-dong sound suddenly rang in her mind.

[You have a novice gift package in your account, please check it.]

Oh my god! Really great! System, you are Doraemon!

Qin Ruqing opened the gift package and saw [Points +500, one foundation-building pill, one blood-recovering pill, three energy-recovering pills...]

Qin Ruqing's heart beat faster. She didn't say anything else, but she knew about the foundation-building pill. The famous foundation-building pill in the immortal cultivation novels!

This is a seventh-grade pill!

It's a pity that although the foundation-building pill is good, it's still important to save your life at the moment.

Qin Ruqing painfully said in her heart, "You and I are not meant to be together," and then she said to the system, "System, the things in the mall can be bought and sold, right? Can you help me see how many points these things can be exchanged for?"

The system quickly gave the answer.

[One Foundation Building Pill, 1,000 points; one Blood Recovery Pill, 300 points; three Qi Recovery Pills, 150 points... equivalent to 1,525 points]

2,500 minus 1,525 equals 975.

There is still 975 points left!

Nearly a thousand points! Who will come to save her!

Qin Ruqing tried to talk to her system father again, but the system went dark and pretended to be dead.

It was over, the system ignored her!

Qin Ruqing pulled her hair in worry - she was only eight years old, was she going to die young?

This dragged on until the next day.

During this period, Qin Ruqing thought of various ways, not to mention the embarrassing things of begging for mercy. She also thought of more reliable ways, such as asking the system to assign tasks to her.

She must be rewarded for completing the tasks!

But the system insisted that tasks are not just given, they need to be triggered and need timing.

Isn't this the setting of the crappy game "The First Family"!

It's the same above. The triggering of tasks is random. Everyone has different ways of running the family. The triggering tasks are also different.

System, why don't you learn from the bad things instead of the good ones!

Qin Ruqing was sitting on the corridor basking in the sun at this moment. During this time, a servant passed by and saluted her from time to time, calling her "Fifth Miss".

There are five people in the direct lineage of the Qin family who are of the same generation as her. Although she is from the lineage of the patriarch and belongs to the eldest house, she is the youngest, so she ranks first.

Just when Qin Laoxiao was thinking that she might not see the sun for many times, a round figure came into her eyes.

Qin Qirong!

The third branch of the Qin family, the youngest son of her third aunt!

Qin Ruqing's feelings for Qin Qirong are the most complicated. It's nothing, he is only one month older than her, and just because of this one month, she will be the youngest!

This chubby little guy moved like a ball to a century-old banyan tree in the yard. Then, he squatted down.

He held a branch in his hand and poked something under the banyan tree. Qin Ruqing knew without looking that this silly boy was either playing in the mud or looking at ants.

Qin Ruqing watched boredly, without any thoughts of the past. Although she is the same age as him, she is already past the age of looking at ants.

Wait... the same age?

Qin Qirong is also eight years old, which means that he also has to participate in the clan test!

Qin Ruqing suddenly straightened up. She asked the system in her mind: "System, tell me, will it be useful to give him the Enlightenment Orb?"

The system, pretending to be dead, replied this time:

[It is useful. His qualifications are not as good as yours, but he is also excellent. Giving him the Enlightenment Orb that is ten thousand years old may improve his qualifications by one level.]

Qin Ruqing said nothing, and was a little hesitant in her heart.

But the system took the initiative to speak: [Do you want to give him the Enlightenment Orb?]

Qin Ruqing asked back: "If the Enlightenment Orb does improve his qualifications, can I get a reward?"

System: [Yes.]

Before Qin Ruqing could say anything, there was a ding in her mind.

[Triggering the side quest: "Excellent Descendants" - Improve the qualifications of family member Qin Qirong.]

Sure enough! Qin Ruqing's eyes lit up. This Enlightenment Orb is useful to keep!

She looked at the plump figure under the banyan tree and shouted:

"Rongqiuer! Come here!"
