Damn! Who are you looking down on?

According to the content discussed at the previous clan meeting, Qin Deming replaced the ancestor's sword Luo Liujian with a bunch of medicinal materials for refining the marrow cleansing spirit liquid. Then respectfully asked the ancestor to refine the spiritual medicine.

The ancestor was originally a talented alchemist. At his peak, he was able to refine the sixth-grade elixir. Even though his realm has fallen now, his alchemy skills are still there.

It's also a pity. If the source of the marrow cleansing spirit liquid depends entirely on the auction house, then the Qin family can't afford it with its current situation.

The ancestor spent three days and successfully refined four bottles of marrow cleansing spirit liquid. As expected, just as she estimated, there was not a bottle left.

This made Qin Deming a little disappointed.

It was not disappointment with the ancestor. But he had a small hope in his heart that if the ancestor could refine one more bottle, Qingqing could last one more month.

Qingqing had to take one drop of this precious marrow cleansing spiritual liquid every day, and the consumption was really too much!

But no matter what, Qingqing had already taken the majority of the four bottles of marrow cleansing spiritual liquid. Qin Deming did not dare to be greedy. After thanking the ancestor, Qin Deming handed the three bottles of marrow cleansing spiritual liquid that Qingqing had received to Luo Xian.

"Hey, there are only three bottles as expected. This can last for about three months. During this period, let's think about it and see if we can raise some more spiritual stones."

Luo Xian's brows were also tightly wrinkled. She was worried when the child did not test for talent, but now that Qingqing has tested out the Taoist body, she is even more worried.

It goes without saying how worried Qin Deming and his wife were. That night, Qin Ruqing used this hard-earned marrow cleansing spiritual liquid.

To be honest, there are no symptoms after taking the awakening spirit beads, and you just need to sleep. And when Qin Ruqing drank the building spirit liquid redeemed from the system, she just felt refreshed and had a sense of enlightenment.

But this marrow cleansing spiritual liquid is not taken orally, but the liquid is diluted and then supplemented with other spiritual medicines to neutralize the medicinal properties, and then soaked for use.

The medicinal properties of this spiritual liquid are very strong. Even if it has been diluted like this, it still feels like being pierced by thousands of needles when used.

The pain is needless to say. When Qin Ruqing thinks of having to go through such pain every day, she feels that her eyes are dark and her future is hopeless.

She can only comfort herself that this is probably the trouble of genius.

-According

to the consistent rules of the Qin family, children who have completed the qualification test and grade determination at the age of eight must enter the family school.

Of course, eight years old is the stage of cultivating the spirit, and they cannot draw qi into the body. Naturally, what they learn is only some basic superficial knowledge.

Qin Ruqing thought that her happy childhood would last for a while, but she didn't expect that she would be packed up and sent to the school by her own mother the day after the clan test.

Qin Ruqing bumped into Rong, who was also sent to school by her third aunt.

The little fat boy was very enthusiastic to see her and shouted: "Sister!"

Qin Ruqing replied weakly: "It's Qingqing."

The little fat boy: "Sister Qingqing!"

...Okay:)

On the side, Qin Dexin and Luo Xian exchanged glances, greeted each other lightly, and then turned their heads away tacitly without saying anything.

Qin Ruqing felt the subtle atmosphere between the two.

Yes, yesterday in the ancestral hall, mother and third aunt seemed to be in a confrontation with each other. Now, the gunpowder smell has not dissipated yet, right?

Qin Ruqing thought of her side quest, and once again shouted in her heart: There is no future in indulging in internal strife! We must unite!

So, in front of third aunt, she took the initiative to hold the little fat boy's hand.

Ignoring the little fat boy's surprised look, Qin Ruqing looked up at Qin Dexin and said sweetly: "Third aunt, I will take care of Qirong in school."

Qin Dexin was surprised for a moment. In her sight, the child's almond eyes were bright, and the two black pupils were as clear as black and white as if they were raised in mercury.

She couldn't help thinking: the eldest brother is mediocre, Luo Xian is smart, and the temperament of the daughter they raised is not like them at all.

This is good, such a dazzling talent, if he became like the elder brother, he would inevitably become mediocre, and if he became like Luo Xian, he would lose his magnanimity. It is better to be like this now, smart and clever, with his own ideas in his heart, but still pure.

Compared with Qingqing, Qirong is too honest and straightforward. It may be just right for Qingqing, a smart girl, to take care of Qirong.

Thinking of this, Qin Dexin couldn't help but let go of her hand, pursed her lips and smiled: "Then I'll trouble Qingqing." The voice was softer than she herself realized.

Then she slowly reminded: "Your class should be taught by the second elder. The second elder has a good temper, but if you make trouble in class, the second elder will not let you off, so be obedient. Do you understand?"

The two children said in unison: "I understand!"

Luo Xian looked at Qin Dexin's gentle reminders and felt a little puzzled. Didn't she always look cold and aloof? Why did she speak so softly today?

Luo Xian pouted in her heart. She knew that Qin Dexin always looked down on her. It just so happened that she also disliked her.

Fortunately, Qirong is different from her mother. Qirong is sweet-mouthed and looks bright and clear-minded. He is a straightforward glass bottle.

Luo Xian was happy that her daughter and Qirong had a good time together. She was so happy that she gave half of the Lingru candy that she had prepared for her daughter to Qirong.

"Here, half for each of you two children. Don't eat it all in one day. You are not allowed to eat it secretly during class."

Qin Qirong had always been strictly controlled by Qin Dexin. He was so happy that his eyes widened after taking the candy. "Thank you, auntie!"

Luo Xian replied sweetly, "Hey! Come on, auntie will put it in your purse."

After the candy was distributed, it was time to go to school. The two children said goodbye to their mother and started to walk into the school.

From the back, one was fat and the other was thin.

The fat one tied a small crown with a red headband. The thin one had two clever little buns on her head. Coincidentally, the other ribbons on the buns were also red.

The red ribbons swayed slightly as they walked, making the backs of the two children look like a golden boy and a jade girl.

Luo Xian and Qin Dexin looked at the scene and smiled with relief. After looking at each other for a while, they both looked away at the same time. Somehow, their eyes met.

Their eyes met, and there was surprise, embarrassment, and a slight, barely perceptible shyness.

The two people who were usually at loggerheads suddenly softened their attitudes, and their facial expressions didn't know how to change.

Fortunately, Qin Dexin's expression was not very consistent. In Luo Xian's words, it was a wooden face. She looked at Luo Xian and said lightly: "Thank you, Qingqing from your family, for taking care of Qirong."

Luo Xian laughed and said, "It should be!"

Qin Ruqing, who was walking in front, suddenly heard the system's prompt sound.

[Family unity value +5, the progress bar of branch line 2 has been updated, do you want to check it?]

Qin Ruqing: Huh?

What is the family unity value? The progress bar of branch line 2?

She immediately said, "Check it."

Qin Ruqing saw that under the original branch line 2 (creating a harmonious and united family atmosphere), a blue progress bar appeared, and the unity value was the value displayed on the progress bar.

Now, the progress bar actually moved forward and showed a little scale. Before

Qin Ruqing could think about it carefully, the system said again: [Branch line 2 progress is promoted, reward points +5.]

Wow! There are point rewards for promoting the progress of the branch line!

While Qin Ruqing was happy, she was also wondering, what did she do to push the progress of the branch line without realizing it?

Qin Ruqing thought back to what happened just now, and could only attribute the reason to the fact that she held Qirong's hand, and then told Third Aunt that she would take care of Qirong in school.

Maybe because of this, Third Aunt had a better impression of her, which increased the value of family unity?

If this is true, she has an idea of ​​how to promote the second branch line. Maybe she can take advantage of the system in the future.

- There is no way, the child's points are really too few!

-

Walking into the school, Qin Ruqing looked around.

Unlike modern classrooms, the tables in the Qin family's school are very low. It's a bit like the low tables in the Wei and Jin dynasties, with a mat underneath and people sitting on it.

Qin Ruqing sat down on a low table, and then pulled Qin Qirong to sit at the table next to her.

Mother had said in advance that when they first entered the school, they would be taught by the second elder for a month, and then they would go to school with other students in the school.

Qin Ruqing: I see. First, there will be a small class to enlighten you, and then you can study with the big class. The family schools in the world of immortal cultivation are also very advanced.

Qin Ruqing looked around. There were quite a few tables here, but there were only four people sitting there in total. In addition to her and Qirong, there were two others who had already sat down before them.

The two looked familiar. Qin Ruqing thought about it and remembered that they were the two most qualified children in the group during the clan test yesterday. They were also siblings. One was called Qin Zhiyao and the other was called Qin Yu.

At this time, the two children were sitting next to each other. The elders had not come yet, but they straightened their backs and did not dare to relax at any time.

This was a manifestation of being unfamiliar with the environment and being alert.

Qin Ruqing could guess the reason after a little thought. The two five-year-old children were far away from the familiar environment and were taken to a place that was extremely majestic in their eyes. They were probably also given many instructions by their elders at home. How could they dare to relax?

She wanted to do something, but before she could act, the figure of the second elder appeared in the hallway. She had to give up the idea.

The second elder was well-known in the family for his good temper, and he also had some characteristics of an old naughty boy. At this time, he actually held a folding fan in his hand in a pretentious manner.

Qin Ruqing: Puff~

The second elder sat down on a slightly higher step of the mat in front of the hall, and in front of him was a black short stool of the same size.

He opened the folding fan, shook it, and said slowly: "In this class, we will talk about nourishing the soul."

"Does anyone know what nourishing the soul is?"

The little fat man was very active. He answered quickly: "We are nourishing the soul now!"

This answer was very clever. He answered, but it seemed like he didn't answer.

The second elder touched his beard with a smile and said, "Not bad."

His eyes fell on Qin Ruqing's face. Qin Ruqing lowered his head and thought to himself, don't call me, I don't know.

Fortunately, the second elder did not seem to want to ask anyone to answer the question.

He explained himself: "Nourish the spirit, as the name suggests, is to nourish the spirit body. What is a spirit body? It is our body. Of course, we are definitely not spirit bodies now. The spirit body is the goal we want to pursue." "

Nourish the spirit in three steps." He raised three fingers: "The first step: nourish the meridians; the second step: nourish the soul; the third step: nourish the spiritual nature. The difficulty of the three steps increases in sequence."

This was something Qin Ruqing did not know, so she listened more carefully.

"The road to immortal cultivation is long, and nourishing the spirit is like the foundation stone under this road."

"The bigger and more solid the foundation stone is, the smoother and more stable your path to immortal cultivation will be. Do you understand?"

The second elder said it very vividly, and the four students below nodded repeatedly.

The little fat boy should be the type of student that teachers like the most, who is active in class, studious and inquisitive. At this time, he said again: "Then, Second... Sir, how can we make the foundation under our feet solid and firm?"

The second elder's eyes lit up, he sighed, and suddenly knocked on the table with the head of the fan: "You've hit the nail on the head!"

"Yes, how can we make the road solid? This requires the combination of specific soul-nourishing secret methods."

He shook his head, very much like an old scholar, "The lower-level secret method nourishes the meridians, the middle-level secret method nourishes the soul, and the upper-level secret method nourishes the spirituality."

Perhaps because he felt that the second elder was really kind, and with the little fat boy as an example, Qin Zhiyao also plucked up the courage to ask the biggest question in his heart.

"Master, then, what is the quality of the soul-cultivating secret method used by our Qin family?"

The second elder paused while waving his folding fan, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his eyes. He coughed lightly and calmed down, "Of course, the secret method used by our Qin family is also extremely good."

Well, another "answer equals no answer" type of answer.

Unfortunately, the little girl was timid and had spent all her courage to ask this question, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The second elder breathed a sigh of relief. He almost lost face in front of the younger generation.

What is the quality of the secret method used by their Qin family?

Of course, it is the worst one!

The second elder sighed and couldn't help but glance in the direction of Qin Ruqing, saying what a pity in his heart.

Even during the heyday of the Qin family, no one had the good fortune to obtain the medium-level secret method of nourishing the soul. Just like the secret manuals of martial arts, it was controlled by the great families and rarely passed on.

Therefore, even if the ancestor rated Qin Ruqing's spiritual cultivation level as gold, the most the Qin family could do was to cultivate her according to the lower-level secret method. The marrow cleansing spiritual liquid is one of the spiritual medicines required in the lower-level secret method.

Unfortunately, even for the lower-level secret method, the Qin family

's current financial resources are already somewhat unaffordable, and they have to rely on the ancestor's private treasury.

The second elder couldn't help but sigh in his heart and retracted his gaze.

It's a pity for this child's talent, like guarding a treasure mountain, but can't find a way to dig.

What a pity!

Qin Zhiyao was fooled by the second elder's words, but Qin Ruqing was not so easy to fool.

"The Qin family's spiritual cultivation secret method is naturally excellent", why does this "excellent" sound so watery.

She remembered that the ancestor seemed to have said before that the Qin family's soul-nourishing secret method was only of low quality, and that they regretted that the low quality secret method could not develop the greatest potential of the Dao body.

Qin Ruqing herself did not regret it. She had long recognized the situation of the Qin family. Just looking at the fact that the family's prosperity value was still falling, she knew that this family was definitely not in a prosperous state.

She asked curiously: "System, are there higher-level soul-nourishing secret methods in the mall?"

The system has always been the type of person who doesn't talk much and never types when it can throw pictures. It directly calls up the pictures of the corresponding products in the mall.

[Intermediate soul-nourishing secret method: Glazed Realm. Redemption points: 2500.]

There are only 6 points in total, of which 5 points are Qin Ruqing who just got it today...

Sorry to bother you.

She clicked her tongue in her heart, it's so damn expensive. With the system squeezing out so few points a day like squeezing toothpaste, how long will it take her to save them?

Perhaps because of the mentality of "too many lice don't mind the itch, too many debts don't worry", Qin Ruqing asked again: "System, are there any top-notch soul-nourishing secrets in the mall?"

Anyway, she couldn't afford it, so she just took a look.

The system ignored her.

Qin Ruqing insisted: "System?"

After a moment of silence, the system page displayed a paragraph indifferently.

[It is detected that the host's accumulated points are too low and cannot be viewed. ]

Qin Ruqing's face froze.

Damn! Who are you looking down on!
