One family, three foundations

When Qin Ruqing found her biological father, Qin Deming was very happy because he picked up a spiritual stone when he went out today.

Yes, spiritual stone! It's not ordinary spiritual gold, but spiritual stone. One spiritual stone is worth a thousand spiritual gold.

Qin Deming has never encountered such a good thing. To be honest, he has to be careful when he goes out, because he may accidentally step on dog shit or bird shit on his head... Of course, as the patriarch of the Qin family, he must not tell anyone about this, not even his partner Luo Xian. Because his wife will laugh at him for years.

Whenever Qin Deming stepped on shit/puddles/black unknown liquids/bodies, he would calmly perform a cleansing spell on himself. It doesn't matter, he is used to it.

But today, it's different! He picked up money!

So, when Qin Ruqing hurried to the door, she saw Qin Deming's happy face. Seeing her coming, Qin Deming waved enthusiastically, "Dear daughter, come here quickly."

Wow, my dear father is so enthusiastic today. What good news makes him so happy?

Qin Deming said excitedly: "Qingqing, I went out today and picked up a spiritual stone." He couldn't wait to tell this news to his most beloved daughter.

Qin Ruqing:!

Fuck, this is not equivalent to going out and picking up a thousand yuan! My dear father's luck today is really good, Cheng Yiming's eyes really didn't lie to her.

Qin Ruqing immediately stopped hesitating and took out a small black wooden box and stuffed it into Qin Deming's hand, "Dad, look at this."

Qin Deming was confused, "What is this?" He opened it and saw a gray-brown pill inside, faintly smelling of sophora flavescens. Qin Deming picked it up and smelled it, and his eyes immediately widened.

"It's the Little Broken Mirror Pill!"

Qin Deming is the patriarch of a well-known elixir family. Apart from his own elixir skills, he still has the basic ability to recognize elixirs. This is the basic quality of a clan leader. When he got this pill in his hand, he recognized it within a few breaths. It was actually the famous Little Broken Mirror Pill.

The most famous thing about this elixir is that it has a certain probability of triggering the effect of assisting foundation building. There are many examples of people who want to buy the foundation building elixir but have no way to buy it, so they start to settle for the next best thing, thinking of giving it a try, and turn to the small broken mirror elixir to build the foundation.

However, the probability of successfully triggering the effect is too low. Qin Deming has lived for so many years, and he has only heard of one case in the Western Regions.

"My dear daughter, where are you from?"

Qin Ruqing said calmly without changing her expression, "I picked it up."

"Picked it up?!" Qin Deming raised his voice.

"Yeah." Qin Ruqing nodded. This is the reason she has come up with these days.

She is not pretending, in fact, she has turned over many excuses in her mind. What, she found a mysterious shop on the side of the road, and that shop actually sold the Small Broken Mirror Pill; or she learned about the auction house in advance and bought it in advance; or she might have met a master of alchemy who traveled to Nanling, and the master gave her a Small Broken Mirror Pill.

The last reason is feasible, but Qin Ruqing thought about it but it was useless. Sometimes when you say something, the more details there are, the more fake it seems. Because there are too many things in the world that happen naturally without any reason.

Qin Ruqing felt that she had complicated things. Why couldn't it be picked up?

To be honest, she thought that if she told the ancestor this reason, the ancestor might truly believe it. She really thought that she could pick up such things when she went out. Since the ancestor can believe it, then her biological father can also.

Her biological father's trust in her is no less than anyone else in this world!

Sure enough, Qin Deming was surprised at first, and then thought about it carefully, and actually nodded.

With his luck, he can pick up spirit stones when he goes out. By analogy, with the luck of his daughter, isn't it normal to pick up the Little Broken Mirror Pill?

It makes sense.

Before Qin Deming had digested this shocking news, Qin Ruqing grabbed his arm and said with shining eyes: "Dad, use this pill today! I heard that the Little Broken Mirror Pill has a certain chance of triggering the effect of building a foundation. If you use it, you may be able to build a foundation directly!"

This hasty posture made Qin Deming stunned. After realizing what his daughter meant, he couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. How come building a foundation is as simple as eating and drinking water in the mouth of the daughter? Well, it may be true for the daughter, but it's not true for your father! Even with the Little Broken Mirror Pill, it won't work.

Qin Deming shook his head and explained slowly: "Don't worry, my dear daughter. Building a foundation is not a simple matter. Even if you have the Little Broken Mirror Pill, you have to choose a suitable time and wait until you have discussed it with the clan..."

You still have to hold a meeting to discuss it... Qin Ruqing fell backwards and said anxiously: "Dad! Why do you still need to discuss your cultivation with the clan? Those who don't like you will not sincerely look forward to your building a foundation. They may even sabotage it and clamor that the Little Broken Mirror Pill must be handed over!"

"I know your concern, but isn't the most precious thing about the Little Broken Mirror Pill that it has a certain probability of triggering the effect of building the foundation? Since we are talking about probability, it depends on luck. Dad, you picked up a spiritual stone when you went out today. What a great luck! Maybe you won't have such luck in the next year. If you are not satisfied today, when will you wait? Do you have to wait until your luck is so bad that you step on dog shit when you go out, and then you will think about taking this pill?"

Qin Deming was slightly embarrassed by what his daughter said. Let's not talk about anything else, stepping on dog shit when you go out... He didn't have the nerve to tell his daughter that he basically stepped on dog shit every day when he went out.

Wait, thinking about it this way, today when he went out, not only did he not, ahem, that... but he picked up a spiritual stone! This is indeed the luckiest day of his life in the past few years!

Maybe it can really trigger the foundation-building effect?

​​Qin Deming was also tempted by what he said. Qin Ruqing had sharp eyes. She pushed Qin Deming directly towards the secret room, saying as she pushed him: "Dad, calm down. After taking this pill, start to break through the foundation-building threshold. Note that you must start the break today, don't wait."

Sometimes her father's leisurely temperament was really annoying. Qin Ruqing pushed him into the secret room, and before closing the door, she emphasized the last sentence in a hoarse voice:

"Remember, the break is today! It won't be too late to consolidate and maintain after the break!"

Seeing Qin Deming nod, after the secret room door was closed, Qin Ruqing opened the protective array, and then waited anxiously.

But it must succeed!

This lasted from morning to afternoon. It was getting dark. Qin Ruqing was pacing around the house. Even Luo Xian noticed the noise and came to ask.

"Why are you circling around your father's training room? Isn't he always around? Today, I haven't seen your father since I got up early..." Luo Xian was puzzled.

Qin Ruqing pointed in the direction of the secret room. "Dad is in there."

Luo Xian was puzzled. "Why is he staying in the secret room? It's not his time to practice."

Qin Ruqing smiled awkwardly and said, "Dad is here, hehe, let's build the foundation."

Luo Xian: "?"

Just as she was about to raise her eyebrows and say something was a joke, there was a sudden movement in the secret room. A mysterious wave spread out, and then a crazy suction swept the surrounding spiritual energy into the secret room.

This movement, could it be...

Qin Ruqing and Luo Xian looked at each other, and they could see the shock and ecstasy in each other's eyes.

The movement from the patriarch's courtyard certainly attracted the attention of other people in the Qin family's territory, because this courtyard is located in the center of the territory, with a dense population. It is difficult for others not to notice the impact of the impact just now.

They popped their heads out to see that there were large and small alchemy furnaces parked above the patriarch's courtyard, and people were sitting on the alchemy furnaces.

"What did the clan leader do to make such a big fuss?"

Someone hesitated, "Why does it look like he is going to build a foundation?"

When it comes to building a foundation, the first reaction of the Qin family is disbelief. It's not that their clan leader's foundation building is incredible, the most important thing is that it was too sudden. There was no sign before. He was still having a good meeting with us yesterday. He didn't say that he would intensify his cultivation recently, and he didn't close himself off. Is he building a foundation now? Definitely not. Sure enough

, someone shook his head in denial, "How can he build a foundation without a foundation-building pill? The clan leader's talent is not yet at the level where he can build a foundation on his own. I guess it's a breakthrough."

This is a very likely situation, and everyone nodded. That's right, the commotion of this breakthrough is a bit too big. There was a

lot of discussion outside the courtyard, and Qin Ruqing and Luo Xian naturally noticed it. Qin Ruqing said quickly, "Mom, go outside and calm these people down first, and tell them not to disturb Dad. I have already opened the protective formation. To the outside, just say you don't know. You don't know what's going on inside, so don't mention the word foundation building."

Luo Xian also knew the urgency of the situation, so she nodded immediately, said nothing more, and went out directly.

Sure enough, there was a group of people outside, some flying in the sky, some standing at the door.

I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and shouted angrily, "What are you all arguing about at the door? You can't make a lot of noise in the clan leader's courtyard!"

Luo Xian is a person with a bad temper. She was famous for her fierce temper in her early years. It was only in recent years that her children have grown up and have made a lot of progress that she has enjoyed the blessing and her temper has been restrained. But the tiger's power of many years of reputation is still there. After such a roar, the others fell silent.

One of the elders came forward and bowed, "Madam, I wonder if the patriarch is cultivating or... why is there such a big commotion?"

Luo Xian only said, "I don't know. He didn't say anything to me. I think he had a temporary breakthrough or comprehended some magic."

This... even the patriarch's wife doesn't know? Someone else wanted to say something else, but suddenly a strong breath flew over from the sky.

Is this, the ancestor?

Someone exclaimed, "The ancestor has come out of retreat!"

The ancestor's spiritual consciousness easily penetrated the protective shield and saw what was going on in the secret room. Qin Deming's body was already wrapped in spiritual energy. This is... The ancestor's face became solemn, and he raised his hand and stepped on the outer perimeter of the protective shield. A barrier.

Then he turned to face the crowd, "Silence! Back off!"

The old ancestor's voice was extremely majestic, and there was a hint of spiritual energy to shock. This time, everyone was as if they were being strangled by the neck. They didn't dare to say a word and retreated one after another.

After they left, the old ancestor came down and walked to Luo Xian. Luo

Xian saluted. The old ancestor hummed, and the first thing he said was to ask Qin Ruqing, "Where's Qingqing?" Luo Xian was stunned, and then pointed inside.

The old ancestor walked inside, and when he saw Qin Ruqing for the first time, he said, "Girl, why did your father suddenly build a foundation?"

Qin Ruqing was not surprised to see the old ancestor. He chuckled and used the same words, "I picked up a small broken mirror pill."

The corner of the old ancestor's mouth twitched fiercely. Small broken mirror pill, picked up again?

Old Ancestor: "Really?"

Qin Ruqing put her hands behind her back, nodded, smiled, and nodded heavily.

The old ancestor glared at her helplessly, and did not ask any more questions, but he could not help showing a hint of joy on his face, "Your father's luck is really good. Although there is a certain probability that the Little Broken Mirror Pill can be used as a foundation-building pill, the probability is basically so small that it can be ignored. I didn't expect that this would be triggered by your father."

With the old ancestor's eyesight, of course he could see that Qin Deming had passed the most difficult stage, and the next time was to consolidate it. In other words, Qin Deming's foundation-building was already successful for the most part.

Qin Ruqing pursed her lips and smiled, and did not say much.

But it must be true. Qin Ruqing estimated that since her father became the patriarch, today was the best day for his luck, and the rest of the time was bad luck.

Thinking about it this way, he used his luck twice at the most critical place, and it is not known whether he is lucky or unlucky.

Or, his bad luck is actually accumulating good luck, and when the luck is almost accumulated, he will suddenly get lucky once and get a huge advantage, and then continue to be unlucky? It feels good to think so...

But when Qin Ruqing thought about her bad luck and stepped on dog shit when she went out, she scared away this idea. Ha, it means that this magical physique should be borne by her own father. She can still get lucky occasionally if she washes her hands more times.

At worst, she can still get a guaranteed bonus. Non-Africans know that they will never participate in activities without a guaranteed bonus.

Qin Ruqing withdrew her thoughts and leaned towards the old ancestor. "Hey, old ancestor, why did you come out?"

The old ancestor glanced at her and said, "Your father is building the foundation with such a big fuss, how can I not come out?" To be honest, I was a little scared at first, thinking that the Zhang family came to the door for revenge and wanted to fight the Qin family to the death. As a result, I found out that it was Qin Deming who was building the foundation.

Qin Ruqing smiled, watching the movement in the secret room gradually calm down, and led the ancestor to sit down, "Ancestor, how is your injury recovering? Can't you break through the bottleneck?"

When talking about this, the ancestor frowned, "There is still one medicine missing, the fire poison can never be cured. If this poison is not cured, I will never be able to build the foundation and will not be able to form the elixir."

Qin Ruqing nodded, poured a cup of spiritual milk tea for the ancestor, and tentatively said: "Since this is the case, ancestor, why don't we go to the southern jungle again?"

"You mean to get it..." The ancestor immediately frowned, "No! There is a golden elixir stage monster guarding the ice and fire grass. It is not something our Qin family can resist at the moment."

Qin Ruqing shook his head: "Ancestor, it's not to get it, but to go and see, to check the condition of the grass without disturbing the snake."

"Think about it. You are restricted by the fire poison and cannot form a pill. But if you don't form a pill, you can't defeat the golden pill monster at all. This is a dead end. Are we really going to sit there and wait for death?"

"Why not go and see the situation? It has been many years since the Qin family went to the secret realm last time. Who knows if the grass is still there? What if the Jindan monster can't help but eat the grass? What if the Jindan monster moves away and no longer guards the grass?"

The ancestor choked.

To be honest, what Qin Ruqing said was a direction she had never considered, but after thinking about it carefully, she had to admit that she made sense.

Qin Ruqing added: "Moreover, when my father builds the foundation, our family will now have three foundations. I dare not think of taking herbs directly, but just looking at the situation around, this is basically risk-free. If you really decide to take herbs, you must set up a thorough and complete plan. It is impossible to make such a hasty decision."

The ancestor pondered for a while, but only said: "Let's wait for your father to come out."

But Qin Ruqing has been with the ancestor for so long, how could she not see what she meant? She immediately knew that she was persuaded.

So she curled her lips and smiled, and said no more.

On the third day, the movement in the secret room was completely calmed down, the stone door was pushed open, and Qin Deming walked out of it with a dazed look.

That is to say, the foundation was built.

How did the foundation get built... It was actually built!

The daughter-in-law's words about choosing a day is not as good as the day really works! He had triggered such a one in a million probability, and the entire foundation-building process was flawless, so smooth that Qin Deming felt it was unreal.

Qin Ruqing stood at the door, with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Dad, congratulations, you have built the foundation~"

From now on, you are the legitimate patriarch of the Qin family, and no one dares to laugh at you anymore.

Qin Deming was almost moved to tears by the words "Dad, congratulations". He adjusted his mood and said with emotion: "My daughter, I am so grateful that I listened to you that day and started to work hard to break through the threshold of foundation-building. I have a magical premonition that if that day had passed, I would not only be unable to build the foundation, but it might even be difficult to advance to a small realm."

Qin Ruqing smiled, that's not right. If you only have an orgasm once every ten years (maybe even more than that), you will definitely get a black eye right after you have an orgasm. You might even get so unlucky that the Little Broken Mirror Pill that stabilizes the Broken Mirror won't work, which would be a big loss.

But now is not the time to talk nonsense. Qin Ruqing walked over and hugged his father's arm, and said seriously, "Dad, there are people waiting for you outside. Remember, when someone asks you how you built your foundation, just say that you suddenly felt something, a strong feeling that you could succeed in building your foundation today, and you couldn't hold it back, so you tried it, and somehow it succeeded."

After listening to the explanation of his daughter, Qin Deming felt that this reason was even more incredible than picking up the Little Broken Mirror Pill. The feeling of building the foundation came suddenly, and "I can't hold it back"

Qin Deming said: "If I really said that, wouldn't those people be so angry that they beat me?"

This is simply too hateful.

Qin Ruqing's eyes sparkled, and he said proudly: "You are now building the foundation, and you are the patriarch of the Qin family. Who dares to beat you? You can say whatever you want, why do they care!"

Qin Dehao sighed, yes, he has already built the foundation, and his back can be straightened up completely. Who dares to say anything about him!

Although the eldest house has gradually become stronger, no one in the Qin family dares to provoke the eldest house. But Qin Deming himself, although he is the patriarch, often feels guilty and short of breath because his cultivation is not outstanding.

But now that he has built the foundation, what else is there to worry about?

Qin Deming's face suddenly changed, and he had already taken on the posture of a clan leader. He casually adjusted his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and said to Qin Ruqing, "Dear daughter, please wait

a moment. I will be back soon." Then he walked out with his hands behind his back.

Qin Ruqing: ... Pfft, Dad, you are acting like a clan leader, which makes me want to laugh! Sure

enough, someone has been waiting outside for a long time. As soon as they saw Qin Deming, they quickly reacted and showed faces of surprise and joy.

"Clan Chief, you have established the foundation!"

"Congratulations, Chief, for establishing the foundation!"

"Congratulations, Patriarch, haha!"

After receiving the compliments, Qin Deming actually started to ask, "Patriarch, why did you suddenly build the foundation so quietly?"

Remembering his daughter's instructions, Qin Deming began to twist his beard, and then showed a look of surprise, joy, and a bit of confusion. With an expression on his face, he said, "Actually, I don't know much about how to build the foundation... I got up early in the morning and practiced as usual, and then I suddenly felt in my heart that there was a high chance of success in building the foundation that day."

When Qin Deming said this, the doubts on his face became more serious. He was not pretending. The past few days have been so confusing.

He was confused and confused the people below.

Qin Deming said: "Then this feeling became stronger and stronger, so strong that I could hardly suppress it. I thought that as a cultivator, I should follow the will of heaven. Maybe this was a revelation from heaven, so I gave it a try. It wouldn't lose anything anyway. As a result, this time, hey, it succeeded inexplicably." He sighed with a complicated expression.

Everyone:? Are you kidding me? I have never heard of foundation building succeeding inexplicably.

Moreover, when will heaven give you a revelation about whether to build a foundation or not? Does the old man have so much free time? The most important thing is, why didn't we get any revelation?

Some people think that this reason is pure nonsense. This old man must have got something good and used it secretly. However, some people did believe it, and asked with curiosity to imitate:

"Head of the clan, what was so special about the day you received the revelation?" Let me tell you, so that they can learn from it.

special? This is so special, it really does exist.

Qin Deming twirled his beard sincerely and sighed: "If it is special, it is that before I went out that day... I picked up a spiritual stone."

"I have never seen money on the ground since I was born. Now that I suddenly see the spiritual stone, I feel really sad and sighing in my heart!"

Crowd:...?

There was a moment of surprise and speechlessness. Just when they were speechless by this explanation, someone behind them suddenly became restless, pushing through the crowd and pushing forward. Before almost all the crowns and hats were squeezed out, we finally made it to the front row.

The man bowed to Qin Deming, rubbed his hands, and said with a slightly red face: "Patriarch, I am Qin San, the manager of the 48th Alchemy Workshop. The spiritual stone you picked up in the corridor a few days ago was actually dropped by me... In other words, you don't need this little spiritual stone, can you return it to me?"

As the manager of the alchemy workshop, he was not short of money, so after finding that he had dropped a spiritual stone, he was too lazy to go back and look for it. However, now that he has seen it... he feels that this spiritual stone has a deep relationship with him, so it is better to return it.

I will meditate on it when the time comes... hehe.

Qin Deming: ...?

It's just a spiritual stone, how dare you ask for it?

As a result, the "reasonable" person thought more than Qin Deming. The people below seemed to suddenly wake up and glared at the shameless old Qin San. This old guy is lying with his eyes wide open. He

turned around and looked at Qin Deming, raised his hand and shouted: "Chief, I also dropped a spiritual stone. The spiritual stone you picked up that day is actually mine!"

"Chief, I also..."

"Hey, it turns out that I also dropped a spiritual stone, Chief!"

"..."
