The South Ridge trembles, and congratulations come from all directions

The news that the clan leader successfully built the foundation spread throughout the Qin family immediately, and everyone who heard the news was shocked.

Indeed, they heard about the movement in the clan leader's courtyard three days ago. At that time, the ancestor even came out of retreat to see, and finally stepped down to seal the clan leader's courtyard. At that time, some people guessed that the clan leader might be building the foundation.

But guessing is guessing, and no one thought that he could really build the foundation!

It's no wonder they were surprised. The clan leader's previous cultivation level had not even reached the perfect level of Qi training. It was almost impossible for him to build the foundation directly with the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi training.

These people were shocked and confused, and then they ran to ask the first wave of people who came back to investigate the situation.

Well, what should I say? Did the clan leader really build the foundation?

The expressions of the first wave of people who came back to congratulate were very unified, which can basically be summarized in two words, that is, "confused"

. They returned confusedly, the clan leader did build the foundation.

Seeing the excitement, the Qin clan members burst into laughter and asked the most critical question.

How did the clan leader build the foundation? I didn't hear any news before.

When talking about this, the expressions of the first wave of people who came back became even more confused. They opened their mouths several times and didn't know how to speak. It was only under the urging of others that they said in confusion:

The clan leader said that he went out today and picked up a spiritual stone. After picking up the spiritual stone, he suddenly had a strong feeling that could not be ignored, that is, the foundation building could be successful today! He thought it would not be a loss to try it, so he went to break through... and then succeeded.

Everyone:?

They all understand the characters, why don't they understand one piece? What do you mean, after seeing the money, they feel like they are building a foundation, and then they try it and succeed? Even the storybooks don't dare to make it up like this!

Someone asked tentatively, "Then, where is that piece of spiritual stone?"

It sounds like that piece of spiritual stone is the most mysterious.

The people who came back seemed to be a little confused, and they were stunned, "Oh, spiritual stone... After hearing what the clan leader said, the people who went there all shouted that the spiritual stone was dropped by themselves. The clan leader was so annoyed that he gave everyone a piece, and then they dispersed."

Others were shocked: God!

The person who spoke touched his arms blankly... In fact, he also asked for spiritual stones. Although I know that this is not the piece that the patriarch picked up at the beginning. However, after the patriarch just built the foundation, I think there should be some mystery.

When I go back to practice, I will ponder it. Maybe I will understand it one day?

-Second

courtyard.

Qin Dehao sat there in a daze, his expression stunned: "Qin Deming... has actually built the foundation? He, isn't he just at the ninth level of Qi training?"

Generally speaking, it is best for Qi training cultivators to reach the perfection of Qi training before they can try to build the foundation. Perfection is not a level, but a state, a state that can only be achieved by compressing the spiritual energy to the limit. After reaching this state, the strength will increase, and the success rate of foundation building will also increase significantly.

Therefore, those who want to build the foundation now basically tacitly agree to raise their cultivation to perfection. Nine-layer foundation building? That must be a lucky goose falling from the sky.

"I heard that he didn't even use any elixirs and went straight to building his foundation? When did his talent become so good?" Qin Dehao's tone was full of surprise and confusion.

The Great Elder sat next to Qin Dehao, silent. Qin Dehao knew that the Great Elder knew a lot, and looked at him eagerly, hoping to get an answer.

After that argument, and Qin Dehao's subsequent thoughts, he seemed to have become much more stable, and would not jump up in a hurry because of the matter of the first wife. But the matter in front of him was indeed beyond his cognition.

Under such a gaze, the great elder sighed and finally explained: "The clan leader himself said that he received a revelation from heaven. Heaven reminded him that the success rate of building the foundation on that day was the highest. He tried it and it succeeded."

Qin Dehao frowned: "Is this okay? Isn't this obviously a lie he made up to fool people?"

The great elder said that it was not necessarily the case. "The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. When I was in the Eastern Region in my early years, I even heard of an example of a person who experienced three lifetimes in a dream and directly formed a pill after waking up. Compared with this, the clan leader's case is much more normal. The former is incredible."

Qin Dehao clenched his fists, his mood fluctuating, "Is his luck really that good?"

It was like this when he was the clan leader, and it is like this again when he is building the foundation. How can Qin Deming be so lucky!

The Great Elder looked at him calmly, "You don't have to attribute all his achievements to luck. Although you are a few years younger than him, your cultivation is only on par with his, and your talent for cultivation is not good enough to surpass him. In fact, the further you go in building your foundation, the more you rely on your understanding rather than your talent. The fact that he was able to successfully build his foundation shows that he has this understanding."

The Great Elder couldn't help but teach him. In the past, Qin Dehao would have been angry and retorted, but now after listening to it and thinking about it carefully, he actually lowered his head and said, "Dehao, I will teach you."

The elder was a little surprised, but soon he was relieved and nodded with satisfaction, "It's best that you can listen to it. The first house is no longer what it used to be. Qin Deming has also established a foundation and his position can no longer be shaken. You must be careful about your words and deeds in the future. Don't provoke the first house... and don't use your status as an elder to suppress Qin Ruqing, that little girl."

Qin Dehao was silent for a long time after listening. The elder looked at him, probably still wanting to make a statement, so Qin Dehao turned his head away and whispered, "During this time, I will go to manage the branch and will not return to the territory."

This means retreating. With Qin Dehao's strong character, being able to say such words is already the limit. The elder nodded with satisfaction.

It's better to retreat. If you retreat, your life and your dignity can be saved. Otherwise, that girl will really make you suffer.

How could the elder not be shocked and complicated. The scene of that day when the little girl looked up and questioned him was still in front of him, and it didn't take long for Qin Deming to build a foundation.

This can only be said to be destiny. All the luck gathered to form a trend. This trend will drive the people around her to rise together. In this case, going against this formed "trend" is to court self-destruction.

This is the experience that the elder has summed up after living for more than a hundred years and seeing countless things.

-

Nanling City, which has not been peaceful for long, suddenly dropped a heavy news: the Qin family, which had just recruited an affiliated family, actually had another foundation.

Three foundation builders in one family!

This was an unprecedented event in Nanling. Among the Nanling noble families, the most powerful one was the Zhang family, which had two foundation-building members. This made it a well-established and respected family. The

Qin family, an outside family, was a latecomer and took the lead. Not only was it the first to recruit affiliated families, but now it even had three foundation-building members.

Even a flying boat can't go that fast!

Could it be that in a few years, the ancestor of the Qin family will be able to form a pill and become the first silver-quality family in Nanling?

Nanling City was buzzing with excitement from top to bottom.

Take the underground casino in Nanling for example, this is almost a weather vane for major events in Nanling. In the past few days, when the news of the Qin clan leader's foundation building came out, the underground casino quickly opened a new betting market - "When will the Qin clan be promoted to silver products?"

and removed the original betting market - "When will the Zhang clan be able to surpass the Qin clan and take back the first place in Nanling?" Now there is no one who can bet on this market. Obviously, after the Qin clan has built three foundations, everyone believes that the Zhang clan cannot surpass the Qin clan.

And the number of bets on the market of when the Qin clan will be promoted to silver products is rising rapidly, and soon it will exceed a thousand. But most of them bet on it for twenty or thirty years, a few people bet on it for ten or fifteen years, and a few weirdos bet on it for five years! Are

you so rich that you can't stand it? Or did the rise of the Qin family really gain a group of brain-dead fans? Five years of silver products, isn't this blindly suppressing?

In addition to casinos, the fastest flow of information is in wine shops and teahouses. It is said that in the big wine houses in Nanling, the hottest topic every day is to guess how many people are blocking the Qin family's door today.

Yes, the Qin family's gatehouse has been surrounded by people these days.

Some small families sent gifts to celebrate. After sending them, they also wanted to go in and pay homage to the Qin family patriarch, and ask by the way - hey, does your Qin family still recruit affiliated families, what do you think of my family? There are

also in-laws and family friends who are on good terms with the Qin family. This is definitely a good time to build relationships. If you count four generations up, anyone who is slightly related and has some connections will definitely come to visit. The name they use is not just a normal celebration, but "taking advantage of one's family". Look, the relationship has become much closer after saying this.

There are also those wandering cultivators who have real skills, and they all come to recommend themselves as worshippers. Not to mention, the Qin family really took advantage of this wave of reputation to recruit many alchemists and weapon refiners, and even more so the niche categories such as formation masters and talisman masters. The development of a large family is simply indispensable in all aspects. The Qin family does not lack alchemists, so other aspects need to be supplemented by recruiting worshippers.

In addition, even the Qin family's old rivals, the Zhang family and the Han family, sent waiters with gifts to express their congratulations. It is necessary to express it, this is "etiquette", representing the awe of the immortal world for the strong. If there is no expression, it will be a loss of the demeanor of the aristocratic family and will not be presentable.

To be honest, the Zhang family is really biting their teeth. Nothing is more annoying than the old enemy getting better and better, and it's not annoying enough, you have to pretend to give them gifts, just to say whether you are annoyed or not.

The Zhang family has been shrouded in dark clouds and gloom these days. The death date of their ancestor has passed, and the family has been a little stable recently. Clan leader Zhang Hong completely failed to seize power, and now he only has the title of clan leader. It is estimated that it will not be long before he can even lose this title.

Hao Gou has now become the top person in the Zhang family. Unlike the Zhang family who were all gloomy and miserable, he was actually very relaxed in his heart, and was even delighted for a moment because of the foundation of the Qin clan leader.

After all, he is now... ahem, half of the young lady's person, and his life is in her hands anyway, so he can only grit his teeth and follow her.

Now that the young lady's father is building a foundation, it is not a bad thing for Hao Gou. Maybe in the future, as the young lady said, he will secretly follow the Qin family and really become successful.

Hao Gou's resentment in his heart was completely calmed down, and he made up his mind to let the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Hong, die quietly in a few months. In this way, the young lady will not think he has done nothing.

As for another big family in Nanling, the Han family, they have always been very low-key, as if the development of the Qin family has nothing to do with them. After sending the gift by the waiter as per the rules, nothing happened.

Their ancestor Han Yuwen finally got a Broken Mirror Pill, and he is currently in seclusion to break through, and he doesn't want to care about anything else.

Just when the Nanling families were shaken by the Qin clan leader's foundation building, the Cheng family was also holding an emergency meeting to discuss the gift list to be sent to the Qin family.

If the Qin family is at the center of the discussion, then the Cheng family, as its affiliated family, is on the edge of the storm.

How many people envy them for being able to hold on to the thighs in time, cleverly catching up with the Qin family's rising momentum, and ascending directly. Some people

who can't hold on to the thighs of the Qin family want to take a detour and follow the path of the Cheng Yan family.

Cheng Xin had already ordered the gate to be closed, and no gifts from anyone would be accepted. They haven't even prepared the gifts they want to give to the main family yet.

For a subsidiary family like them, preparing gifts for the main family during the various festivals is a very important matter. They must be carefully selected to show respect, joy, enthusiasm, and a reserved and appropriate attitude, and they cannot be careless.

Cheng Xin will take this gift list to attend the celebration banquet for the Qin clan leader's foundation building tomorrow, so the clan is holding an intensive meeting to discuss it today.

It's strange to say that the Qin family has now built three foundations, which is a glorious time, but they have been uncharacteristically low-key and have not celebrated in a big way.

Therefore, this banquet is just a small one, and only those who are friendly with the Qin family and the subordinate families are invited.

The superiors have their reasons for doing this, but the people below cannot be disrespectful just because the superiors have cut back. When Cheng Xin discussed the matter with his clan members, he even deliberately made the gift three times heavier because the banquet was simple, to show his sincerity.

After the gift list was prepared, Cheng Xin showed it to his son Cheng Yiming just in case. After confirming that it was correct, the father and son talked about the foundation-building event of the Qin clan leader.

The two people's voices were extremely low, "Yi Ming, I heard that the young lady asked you to read the fortune of the clan leader for a whole month. Not long after the fortune was good, the clan leader established the foundation?"

Seeing Chen Yiming nod, Cheng Xin twisted his beard in surprise, "Is the role of luck so great? In that case, I will ask you to check it out for me someday and pick one. Can I build a foundation on an auspicious day? "

Cheng Yiming said: "Impossible! Dad, luck is only an aid and cannot play a decisive role. There must be other means behind the clan leader's foundation building. It cannot be summarized by a simple luck."

That's what Cheng Xin said, since it is impossible, then forget it. He sighed again and said, "It seems that the young lady may be behind the construction of the foundation for Patriarch Qin."

"Not possible, but certain." Cheng Yiming's tone was very firm.

Because of these eyes, Cheng Yiming has a deep sense of luck. Therefore, he can more deeply understand how difficult it is for Patriarch Qin to build the foundation just by luck. There must be someone doing something behind the scenes. Who this person is, naturally, he doesn't think about it.

Because of this, Cheng Yiming is more in awe of Qin Ruqing, and feels that her every move is very meaningful and unpredictable.

Cheng Xin has always believed in his son. Seeing him say this, he sighed, "Son, you really did not make a mistake. The Qin family has a promising future, and the Fifth Miss you are following is quite mysterious. I was a little worried when I saw you choose her so decisively. Now I know that you have a more discerning eye than I do."

Cheng Yiming did not comment on this. The young lady is a person of destiny, and there is more to her than just being mysterious. He did think of something, and was a little hesitant, but still said it out loud: "...I think the young lady seems to be brewing something big."

Cheng Xin said curiously, "The Qin family has already established the third foundation, what big thing is there to brew?" If it were given to him, there would be no performance pressure for the development of the clan for at least three years, and he could just lie down.

"The fifth young lady has been asking me to pay attention to the fortune of the clan leader recently."

Hey, the clan leader Qin has already established the foundation, why should he pay attention to the fortune? This is indeed a bit weird.

"Could it be that you are afraid that the clan leader Qin is in danger, so you are asking you to pay attention?" Cheng Xin guessed, but he denied it as soon as he said it.

Now the South Ridge is peaceful, and there is no news of any movement in the primitive forest. The beast tides come in a regular pattern. It is still a long time before the next beast tide. The Qin clan leader usually lives a life of luxury, so how can there be any danger?

Cheng Yiming couldn't think of it, and finally said: "The young lady must have her own intentions for doing this, I think I just need to do it."

Cheng Yiming has a very clear plan for his future. Since he is a follower of the young lady, his future depends on the young lady. In this way, he can play to his strengths and be the sharpest eye in the young lady's hand, so that she can't leave him.

-The

next day, the Qin family held a small celebration banquet. Although the outside world was also puzzled why the Qin family didn't celebrate such a good thing, they still went up to flatter her in different ways. The Qin family was no less glorious.

In the Qin clan, Qin Ruqing was happily rummaging through the gifts in her room.

Some of the gifts sent by those people outside were for the Qin family, but the vast majority were for her father. Qin Deming certainly knew how much his daughter had contributed to the foundation-building this time, so he wanted to give all the gifts to his precious daughter.

But Qin Ruqing didn't want them all. Their eldest wife also had to save some money for herself, and she herself was not short of good things. But even so, one-third of the gifts still went to Qin Ruqing.

She was sorting the gifts now and divided them into three small piles.

The first small pile was for her dear mother. This was her "tribute" to her mother as a daughter. It was estimated that her father would also "tribute" to her mother when he went back home in the evening. Hehe, this was the rule of their family.

The second pile of gifts was also of considerable size, because it was for Tang Zifeng.

Qin Ruqing had a guilty conscience recently, and felt that he had been fleecing too much recently. In order to compensate Xiaoyang, he picked out all the best refining materials in the gift and prepared to send them to Xiaoyang. I guess he won't be unhappy now.

The last pile of gifts was the largest, because it was for Cheng Yiming. It can be said that Cheng Yiming played a big role in his father's foundation building this

time. If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that his father was in good fortune, he estimated that his father's foundation building would not be so smooth.

Moreover, Cheng Yiming was his follower, and Qin Ruqing understood the principle of giving before taking, so he carefully selected some of the most needed things for him at the moment. For example, cultivation materials, martial arts secrets, etc., and she also took out some cold and mysterious ice and spiritual milk from her private storehouse for him.

Cheng Yiming was born in a humble family, and what he lacked most was cultivation resources and knowledge. Giving these to him should be able to touch his heart.

Qin Ruqing selected them so carefully, and it was natural to see that she valued Chen Yiming's eyes.

It's not her fault, mainly because Cheng Yiming's eyes are really useful! Luck is another matter, but judging the good or bad luck is a real bug. Isn't this a walking luck detector!

In order to study these eyes clearly, Qin Ruqing also made a special trip to have an in-depth exchange with Cheng Yiming to understand the advantages and disadvantages of these eyes.

Although these eyes have bugs, they still follow the laws of all things and have their limitations. According to Cheng Yiming himself, the limitation of his eyes is that the accuracy of his fortune judgment decreases as the observer's cultivation level increases.

In other words, the higher the other party's cultivation level, the less accurate his judgment will be.

It's like her father is now building a foundation. In the past, Chen Yiming could see his father's fortune clearly, but now, in Cheng Yiming's words, "Fortune is like being covered by a layer of gauze,

and it is not clear." Cheng Yiming later added that in addition to those with high cultivation levels, there are also people with good fortune like the young lady, whom he cannot see clearly, and if he sees too much, he will suffer backlash.

When he said the word backlash, Qin Ruqing's mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he almost broke his strength. He couldn't help but say, hey brother, that's not backlash, but the system has planted a virus in you!

As for "the person of destiny", this is the word Cheng Yiming often calls her. Qin Ruqing doesn't know if she is a person of destiny, but according to her understanding of this world, there are examples of guiding the reincarnation of great powers, so she thinks there are real people of destiny. It depends on whether Cheng Yiming can meet them in the future. After

a deep discussion with Cheng Yiming about the advantages and disadvantages of his eyes, Qin Ruqing said seriously: "I already know the situation you are talking about. There is another thing here that you need to do."

Cheng Yiming was just inspired by the news that the Qin clan leader had built a foundation. He was full of energy and bowed deeply, saying: "Listen to the young lady's instructions."

Qin Ruqing said in a clear voice: "I want you to go to see my father's fortune as usual."

Cheng Yiming looked up in surprise. Qin Ruqing knew that he was puzzled why she still wanted him to keep an eye on the Qin clan leader.

Qin Ruqing had her reasons. The main reason was that... they were about to set off for the primitive jungle in the south. If his father's luck was too bad, Qin Ruqing was afraid that it would ruin things.

Cheng Yiming was a smart man. He was puzzled for a while and then nodded his head. He didn't seem to be curious about Qin Ruqing's intentions.

Qin Ruqing was very satisfied with his attitude and decided to use Xiao Cheng more and reward this subordinate more in the future.

So, Cheng Yiming watched for more than half a month...

During this half month, according to Cheng Yiming's vague judgment, the luck of the Qin clan leader has always been... ridiculously bad. He didn't know how ridiculous it was, after all, the Qin clan leader was now building a foundation.

Qin Ruqing: Well... okay, she could actually think of it.

Qin Ruqing wanted to seek stability, fearing that his father's bad luck would ruin everything. But if there is no real way, it doesn't really matter.

The three foundation builders can walk around Nanling with ease. As long as they don't go to the deepest part of the jungle, they don't have to worry about anything.

So, Qin Ruqing discussed with the ancestor as usual about going to the southern primitive jungle to investigate - yes, after the clan's decision, they finally decided to go to the southern jungle to check the situation of the ice and fire grass.

Note that it's to check, not to take.

Even if there is such a chance this time, they will never take the risk to take it. They must wait until the plan is thorough before they can try.

After the Qin family celebration banquet, when Qin Deming's cultivation is stable, they will set out.

Qin Ruqing didn't have high hopes for his father's fortune, but a few days before departure, Cheng Yiming suddenly reported that the Qin clan leader's fortune today seemed not so bad.

Qin Ruqing stood up suddenly, great, not so bad!

My dear father, it's not easy to wait for you to be not so bad!

Qin Ruqing made a prompt decision and must not miss this not so bad opportunity. They must set out early.

After hearing this, the ancestor naturally asked one more question, why they had to set out early. Qin Ruqing told him about Cheng Yiming's situation.

There was nothing to avoid. The Cheng family was a subsidiary family of the Qin family, and Cheng Yiming was his follower, so he was half a member of the Qin family. The ancestor knew about Cheng Yiming's situation, which was completely justified. With his experience, he might even know what the eyes were.

Sure enough, when the ancestor heard about this, he frowned, stood there with his hands behind his back and thought for a long time, and then hesitantly said: "From what you said, the child is very likely to have opened his eyes, which can see the fortune, see good and bad luck, and see through all the false and confusing miasma in the world. If this eye can help practice the art of divination, it will be of great use."

Qin Ruqing exclaimed, "Ancestor, now that you say that, I also feel very fragrant."

The eyes themselves are very mysterious, and if they learn to divination, wouldn't the taste of superstition come out?

The ancestor choked. Whatever words come out of Qingqing's mouth, they will always make people speechless. The ancestor exhaled slowly and said, "But his cultivation is not high, and he is not old, so his Heavenly Eye should not be mature yet."

Qin Ruqing: I understand this. Anything that is a little bit awesome is impossible to give you a mature body right away. Look at my Tao body, it has only just awakened so far, and I haven't found any other signs of advancement.

Qin Ruqing decided to go to the small floating space in Xiling. On the one hand, it was because she wanted to find the Mysterious Heart Liquid for the ancestor, and on the other hand, her Tao body advancement and the refining of her life magic weapon required countless natural materials and treasures.

According to Tang Zifeng, the situation in Xiaofukong is a secret place with high incidence of natural treasures. In this case, she has a spiritual treasure explorer, so she can go in and take a lot of treasures, hehehe...

Qin Ruqing's mind has already wandered to Xiling, and it was the ancestor who waved his hand to draw her attention back. There

was still a hint of an unknown smile on her lips, "...Ha, ancestor, what did you just say?"

The ancestor was helpless: "...I said, since the sky eye said that your father's fortune is not bad today, then let's set off immediately."

Qin Ruqing quickly pinched her mouth with her hands, and after pinching the smile that could not be hidden, she said with a stern face: "Yes!"

The ancestor put his hands behind his back and walked forward calmly: "Don't pinch, the bad ideas in your mind are written on your face."

Qin Ruqing followed with small steps.

I mean, is it that obvious?
