System Reward, Tenth Consecutive Steps Further
Qin Deming stared at his daughter's operation in amazement. Seeing that she was so smooth and calm, he couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
Daughter, you are still the best!
The people in the meeting room looked at Qin Ruqing's actions with complicated expressions, but no one dared to speak out to stop her.
The ancestor's meaning was very clear. She was not asking for other people's opinions at all, she had already made this decision.
This was a clear signal, or even a warning to them: I am the ancestor of the Qin family, and I am the person with the highest cultivation in the Qin family.
She valued Qin Ruqing, so she could break the convention and let Qin Ruqing enter the Qin family meeting hall at the age of twelve.
From then on, Qin Ruqing was equivalent to having a deputy elder level status and could participate in family affairs.
No one dared to treat her as a child anymore.
After the meeting ended that day, Qin Deming walked out of the meeting hall with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He felt that the people around him looked at him in a completely different way.
Even his sister Qin Dexin, who was arrogant, said to him in a slightly complicated way before leaving, "You have raised a good daughter." @無限t好文,盡在
Qin Deming has never felt so glorious!
The movement of the upper level is passed down very quickly. It can be said that the lower and middle levels of the family are the ones who are really sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. They need to adjust their attitudes and practices according to the family's wind direction at all times.
So, in the evening, the whole Qin family knew what happened at the family meeting today.
Luo Xian was simply beaming with joy, and Qin Ruqing received warm greetings from her mother as soon as she returned home. She hugged Qin Ruqing tightly, calling her her darling, which made her mother proud.
Luo Xian said with tears in her eyes: "If we rely on your useless father, the first wife will be bullied for who knows how long. As expected, we have to rely on our daughter, who has done a great thing quietly!"
Qin Ruqing (buried/can't breathe): What do you mean by silent? We have been planning this for a long time...
Qin Deming was originally stroking his beard and watching this scene with a smug look on his face, until Luo Xian's words, "your useless father" hit him on the head, his smiling face froze, and he coughed quickly.
"What are you saying in front of the child..." "Save some face for me, the clan leader father."
Luo Xian hugged Qin Ruqing and rolled her eyes, "Why, am I not telling the truth? Besides, what child? Qingqing has been allowed by the ancestor to enter the council hall to discuss matters. Her status is at least equivalent to that of half an elder. When her cultivation level improves in the future, she will be no worse than an elder. What child are you still talking about..."
Qin Deming's beard twitched. He was really choked by his wife, so he also started to argue, "What elder? You don't understand, our ancestor is obviously training Qingqing to be the successor of the family. Then it will be the ancestor's job in the future..."
Good guy, dare you to say anything to her? Luo Xian has a bad temper. Can she bear this? She let go of Qin Ruqing, put her hands on her waist, and started arguing with Qin Deming again.
This scene was a common occurrence in the Qin family courtyard, so Qin Ruqing didn't even raise her eyelids. On the side, the young man who looked like Qingzhu finally found a chance to smile at Qin Ruqing and said, "Congratulations, sister, for being allowed to enter the council hall."
Of course, he also knew that his sister was rewarded with a Hanxuan Ice Cave by the ancestor, but compared to the ice cave, being allowed to enter the council hall had a more profound symbolic meaning. Therefore, he first congratulated the latter.
Qin Ruqing giggled and threw herself into her brother's arms.
Qin Ruyu touched her sister's head in a complicated way, and said half-jokingly: "It's over, now my sister has surpassed my brother, and I will rely on my sister to protect my brother in the future."
Qin Ruqing said: "What's the problem with me protecting my brother?" Then, she rolled her eyes and lowered her voice, "Brother, don't worry, the next one is you..."
She still has a side quest of [Young Clan Leader is Young and Promising]! Don't say anything, the position of Young Clan Leader is welded to my brother!
As for herself... There is an agreed standard in the aristocratic family. Generally, the clan leader and young clan leader are not the most talented and outstanding ones, but some comprehensive management talents, because it is not a simple matter to take care of such a large family. Energy and time are wasted, leaving less for cultivation.
Therefore, those with high talent in cultivation will be trained to be the "pillar" of the family, that is, they don't need to worry about anything else but cultivation. It is better than anything else to improve their own cultivation. After such talents are cultivated, they represent the family's appearance or the future ancestor.
Otherwise, how did Qin Deming say just now, "Qingqing will take over the old ancestor's job in the future?" With Qin Ruqing's talent, if she is trained in the direction of management, it would be a great waste. Sure enough,
Qin Ruyu didn't feel surprised when she heard this. She raised her lips slightly and said softly, "Then I'll wait to benefit from my sister."
They were talking in a low voice in the room. Qin Deming and his wife had finished their quarrel. Qin Deming was defeated as usual. He straightened his sleeves with a normal expression, obviously he had already gotten used to this result.
Then he started to talk about business. He said strangely, "It's strange that the ancestor values Qingqing so much this time..."
Luo Xian was unhappy when she heard this. She had a filter of eighteen layers for her daughter. She immediately said, "Isn't it normal for the ancestor to value Qingqing? She has a Taoist body and is in the state of innate great perfection. Oh, you don't know yet, this time she was injured, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and she broke through to the next level. How long has she been cultivating her spirit? With such a high talent, if I were the ancestor, I would have to lift up our Qing... Even so, I still think it's a little late. After all, the ancestor was injured in the past, his temperament is soft, and his decisions are not as sharp as before..."
Qin Deming choked. When his wife mentioned Qingqing, she started to defend her. Of course, he also thought that his daughter was good in every way. However, as the patriarch, he had to deal with some unreasonable things objectively.
Qin Ruqing understood what her father was worried about, but she could only reveal some of those things to the ancestor because the ancestor was the person with the highest cultivation level in the Qin family and the actual person in power. Therefore, she had to let the ancestor know some things. But for her own parents, Qin Ruqing felt that she should proceed step by step and not make things too shocking.
So, Qin Ruqing deliberately winked at Qin Deming and said, "Dad, don't worry, I have my daughter figured it out. Everything is reasonable and I deserve it."
She had done so many things for the Qin family in secret, who dared to say that she didn't deserve it? She would be angry with him!
Qin Deming knew that Qingqing was always smart and had big ideas in mind. With her words, she finally put her mind at ease.
Then Luo Xian talked about the Ice Heart. She suddenly sighed: "It turns out that the ancestor told you to go to the Mirror Lake to get something, and it turned out to be the Ice Heart. No wonder the ancestor was so vague that day."
Qin Ruqing thought, you guys must be enlightened. These reasons were carefully designed by the ancestor, and the arrangement was so reasonable.
Speaking of Mirror Lake, Luo Xian thought of Qin Ruqing's injury, and immediately felt scared, "Although this time, Qingqing also suffered a lot. If something went wrong at that time, Qingqing might have..."
Luo Xian shook her body, quickly threw away this thought, and said to Qin Ruqing: "Didn't the ancestor reward you with an ice cave? When the time comes, the spiritual stones produced in the ice cave will be used to buy magical instruments for my son to protect himself..."
Speaking of the Hanxuan Ice Cave, Qin Deming couldn't help but sigh at the ancestor's generosity, he was really willing to spend. After sighing, he had to explain to Qin Ruqing some subsequent handling issues of the ice cave.
Qin Ruqing nodded and said, "We still have to discuss the acceptance of the ice cave with the ancestor later."
Qin Deming nodded, not realizing that his attitude had changed unconsciously. He began to tell Qingqing about some family affairs, and no longer treated her as a child.
At the end of the conversation, Qin Deming mentioned Zhang Li, and he couldn't help but frowned.
"This man is a big threat to my son, and he must be eliminated as soon as possible."
Although the ancestor has decided to kill Zhang Li, as long as Zhang Li is alive, he will be worried.
Qin Ruqing smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will go to the ancestor to discuss it tomorrow, and it will be handled properly."
This is a matter concerning her life, so it must be handled well.
After saying goodbye to her parents and returning to her own courtyard, Qin Ruqing opened the system without stopping.
After this wave, it's time to check the results!
First, the [Outstanding Descendants] branch quest was promoted! This should be related to her previous breakthrough. However, it didn’t progress much. After all, she only broke through to the fourth level, and there was no qualitative change.
The seventh level of Qi training is a big hurdle. Ordinary cultivators will be stuck here, and then after passing the seventh level, they will become high-level Qi training cultivators.
After she passes the seventh level, this [Outstanding Descendants] should have great progress. What
Qin Ruqing cares about very much is the [Top Combat Power] branch quest. This branch quest is equivalent to being tailor-made for the ancestor. This time she found the Heart of Ice for the ancestor, and this branch quest should have made significant progress.
What surprised Qin Ruqing was that the [Top Combat Power] progress bar didn’t move at all.
What’s going on? The ancestor got the Ice Heart, so even if you haven't used it much, you have to give me some points, right?
After thinking about it, Qin Ruqing guessed that the system should wait until the ancestor used up the Ice Heart and recovered a part of the damage before giving her a reward. After all, this branch line is of great importance.
Okay, let's wait for a while.
The most surprising thing is that the progress bar of the task of [Becoming the Face of the Family] that she had put aside before has suddenly jumped forward!
Qin Ruqing has not found a suitable opportunity to develop this branch line, so she has put it aside for the time being. Why did she push it forward today?
And because of her impressive progress, the system not only gave her points, but also rewarded her with a chance to win a lottery (good guy, I won't be sleepy if you do this)
Qin Ruqing finally paid attention to this task and found that the system was very generous with both the chance to win a lottery and the points.
Could it be that [becoming the face of the family] and [top combat power] are both core tasks?
Queshi. Qin Ruqing nodded in her heart. It is very important for a family to have a face and top combat power. Qin Ruqing
couldn't help but think carefully about why this face task had made such great progress (so that she could get experience and get more benefits from the system).
In fact, the answer is not difficult to find. Her biggest change and breakthrough this time is that she entered the family council hall and had the qualifications to discuss matters. This matter has far-reaching significance, which is equivalent to the ancestor standing firmly behind her and pushing her directly to the front of the hall.
Hmm... So, this family reputation is not only to make people outside recognize you and think you are the face, but also to make your own family recognize you?
That's about it. It seems that in order to protect herself this time, she accidentally pushed the task forward, and because of this accident, she got another chance to win a lottery.
In addition, the branch line of [creating a harmonious and united family atmosphere] is even more needless to say. The ancestor rewarded her with an ice cave in the hall and gave her the qualification to discuss matters. It not only improved her status, but also the status of her big house.
Didn't you see how excited her parents were when she came back?
If the eldest family where the clan leader is located is stable, the Qin family will naturally be stable. Therefore, a harmonious and united family atmosphere = factors of disharmony will not cause big waves - isn't that it?
However, this task is probably not a high priority in the system's mind, so she was only given a large number of points as a reward, and no lucky draw (
OK Finally, Qin Ruqing set her sights on the last branch, Branch 5 [Stable and long-lasting industry].
This branch 5 was the mission triggered by the last Huiqi Pill incident. After she did a story marketing (Fairy Qing'er and Qin Aotian), Huiqi Pills sold well. The progress of this mission also rewarded her with a chance to win a lottery.
So, she has accumulated three chances to win a lottery. Once, plus this time, in the future, the ancestor will take the Heart of Ice, and his injuries will be greatly improved. It is estimated that there will be one more time, which will be four times. Oh
my God, four times! Rounding it up, this is ten consecutive times, isn’t it already halfway to the goal!
Qin Ruqing was simply crying, there was no way, the child was really struggling to get the chance to win the lottery!
However, despite the hard work, the gains in these days are still great. Although he was injured, his cultivation broke through, his family status improved, and he gained more. With the right to discuss matters, the system has made significant progress in various tasks. Most importantly, four chances to win the lottery have been won!
Qin Ruqing was very satisfied. That night, she did not think of any operation, and fell asleep directly.
The next day, Qin Ruqing woke up refreshed and rushed to the Xianyingju where the ancestor was.
She had to deal with Zhang Li's matter immediately!
When the ancestor saw Qin Ruqing, he shone his hands at her as usual, and Qin Ruqing also kissed her as usual. He sat down next to the ancestor.
In fact, apart from other things, Qin Ruqing and the ancestor had been together for a long time and had a real affection for each other. In addition, the interests of the two were tied together. Qin Ruqing gave a peach and the ancestor returned a plum. The relationship between the two was even closer and more intimate than before.
The ancestor pointed to the table, where there was an ordinary jade medicine bottle, "The holy blood secret water is ready."
Qin Ruqing's eyes fell on the jade bottle, and he just stretched out his hand to touch it, but when he thought of the effect of this thing, he quickly withdrew his hand.
Seeing Qin Ruqing's fearful expression, the ancestor deliberately teased her and said, "Why, you are afraid of the idea you thought of now?"
Qin Ruqing smiled awkwardly.
The story started from the day when she discussed with the ancestor how to deal with Zhang Li. First of all, she and the ancestor had a common understanding that Zhang Li must die.
The ancestor was a direct person. He said that he would solve
the problem directly, which was worry-free and refreshing. Qin Ruqing frowned thoughtfully and said that it would not be settled if Zhang Li died like this and left a pile of rotten stalls to the Qin family.
She touched her chin and started thinking, saying: "Zhang Li can't just die like this, he has to die more tactfully and skillfully - [Death! Is! Worthy! Of! What! He! Did! He! Die!]"
The bright words "Death! Is! Worthy! Of! What! He Did!" fell on the old ancestor's head, and she was stunned for a while. The old ancestor looked at Qin Ruqing with an incredible look, meaning, this man is about to die, and you are still thinking about squeezing the last drop of oil from him.
Yes, Qin Ruqing meant to do something with Zhang Li and cheat the Zhang family again.
Qin Ruqing smiled innocently and said, "Grandma, is there a kind of elixir that can make a seriously injured person look good in the early stage... at least you can't see that he is dying, and then, after a certain period of time, this medicine is a highly poisonous medicine that can quickly end his life..."
The ancestor couldn't help but think deeply about Qin Ruqing's words, as if she was reading the elixir recipes she knew in her mind.
Qin Ruqing reminded slowly, "Well... try to think about the kind of spiritual medicine that counteracts each other, or the conflict of medicinal properties, or the several medicines that have no problems on their own, but have problems when they meet together... Grandma, please think in these directions."
After a while, the ancestor raised her head and looked at her with a strange look.
"Grandmaster, have you thought about it?"
The ancestor said, "You are not very talented in alchemy, but you have a good brain... It's also thanks to you that you can think of so many 'directions'."
Hey, it's nothing, you will know it after reading too many novels and palace dramas~
Qin Ruqing smiled mysteriously and said, "Grandmaster, do you have any ideas?"
The ancestor exhaled, then laughed and nodded, "According to your suggestion, there is indeed a magical medicine that meets your requirements."
"Holy Blood Secret Water," the ancestor slowly read out the name of the medicine, "a sixth-grade liquid medicine that requires eight extremely rare spiritual materials from heaven and earth as the main ingredients. These spiritual materials from heaven and earth all have great tonic effects and are extremely precious... However, their properties are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. After taking the medicine, it has a healing effect for the first three days, and the medicinal effect is outstanding. It is a healing holy product, but in the last three days, the conflicting properties are difficult to suppress and begin to collide. Meridians, blood boiling, when the drug explodes, within three breaths at most, the person who takes the drug will bleed to death. \"
After listening to this, Qin Ruqing was silent for a long time. Seeing her stunned, the ancestor deliberately said, "Isn't this exactly the effect you want? Why, are you scared?"
As a result, Qin Ruqing clapped her hands, her eyes sparkling, "Ancestor, wonderful!"
Ancestor: ...
Sometimes she really doesn't understand how this child's brain grows.
The ancestor shook his head, maybe the ancient reincarnated great powers are different from them ordinary people after all. The ancestor said again: "This medicine is of a high grade. If it were before, I might not be able to make it. Now that I have the Ice Heart, I can give it a try."
Qin Ruqing thought of something, "Ancestor, it will take time for you to refine the Ice Heart. What if you stay in seclusion for too long and can't catch up with the negotiations with the Zhang family? You will need to show off at the meeting!"
This girl is so smart!
The ancestor said: "Don't worry, I only use half of the Ice Heart now, and it is just a preliminary refining, which will not take a few days. It is just right that after the preliminary refining, I can refine this Holy Blood Secret Water for you, is it okay?"
Qin Ruqing thought carefully and confirmed that there was no problem. She clapped her hands and praised: "Ancestor, you are so kind!"
So kind... The ancestor ignored her at that time.
"By the way, Old Ancestor, I have another question. If Zhang Li takes this medicine, will the Zhang family recognize him when they come to investigate?"
This is indeed an important point. The Old Ancestor thought about it and said affirmatively: "Probably not. The Zhang family is not a family of alchemy and is not good at it. What's more, the Holy Blood Secret Water is extremely rare. If the Zhang family can recognize it, it can only be said that it is fate. Then the Qin family will also recognize it."
The Old Ancestor was a cautious person. If she said so, there would be basically no possibility of recognition. Qin Ruqing nodded, took the bottle of medicine in her hand, and said, "Grandmaster, if we calculate the time, the Zhang family will ask us for someone in the next two days. Why don't we give Zhang Li the medicine today?"
The ancestor nodded, stood up and said, "Just lock him up in the dungeon. To prevent accidents, I will accompany you."
Qin Ruqing also stood up, summoned her flying sword, and was about to step on it to fly into the air. As a result, the ancestor looked at her Qin family standard sword with disdain, and directly lifted Qin Ruqing by the back of the neck and took her into the air.
Qin Ruqing was held in the hands of the ancestor like a little chicken. She moved her body uncomfortably and complained, "Ancestor, I can fly."
"You're too slow."
Tsk, you're looking down on me, Ancestor, you've reached the pinnacle of Qi training, so of course you'd think I'm slow.
The old ancestor said again: "It's strange. Your parents love you so much. They must have given you a lot of good things. Now you have an ice cave and countless spirit stones. Why don't you think about buying yourself a good sword?"
Qin Ruqing said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. I don't practice sword. But it's time to change this sword. I will change it when I have spirit stones in my ice cave."
The old ancestor was silent for a while and said: "Forget it, there's no need to make so much trouble. Since you are not particular about swords, I have a sword here, an eighth-grade magic weapon, which is barely worthy of you. Just use it first."
Qin Ruqing exclaimed: "How can I let the old ancestor ask for money from my pocket... But I can't refuse a gift from an elder. Qingqing will accept it!"
... This shameless girl.
When they were almost in front of the ice cave, the ancestor said again: "You are a magic cultivator. After building the foundation, you need to prepare a life magic weapon for yourself. Do you have any ideas?"
Qin Ruqing said: "I don't have any ideas for the time being, but I definitely want the best. Look, Qingqing is saving spirit stones for her life magic weapon. Otherwise, why would she not even buy a sword?"
This is called saving money.
The ancestor was silent again. Sometimes it was really tiring to talk to Qin Ruqing, a little girl with a clear mind.
Fortunately, they arrived at the dungeon.
Zhang Li was imprisoned in the most strictly protected room of the formation. He was seriously injured before, and he was not much better now. He wore two dark chains on his wrists, and I don't know what material they were made of.
The ancestor said that the chain was to seal his spiritual energy and consciousness to prevent him from recovering from his injuries.
At that time, Zhang Li was blown into a bloody man, and then he escaped for his life. In fact, he only had one breath left. The Qin family was afraid that he was dead, so they fed him some elixirs to keep him alive. At this moment, feeling the movement in the cell, Zhang Li actually trembled and opened his eyes.
Seeing Qin Ruqing, a face that he would never forget in his life, Zhang Li's body was stiff, and then an angry hissing sound like a broken bellows came out of his throat.
"You..."
Qin Ruqing didn't wait for him to speak, and his hand was as fast as lightning, a spark of explosion was thrown over, and with a bang, Zhang Li didn't even utter the "you" before he turned his head and fainted.
Qin Ruqing blew away the smoke coming out of her fingertips: That is to say, we must not let the villain talk too much nonsense. He should just stay here and faint.
The ancestor was really shocked by Qin Ruqing's actions. She opened her mouth and wanted to comment, but found that she had nothing to say.
Qin Ruqing didn't know the unspeakable complexity in the ancestor's heart. She smiled at the ancestor and said, "Let's give him the holy blood secret water."
The ancestor nodded, and Qin Ruqing walked over, took out the jade bottle and put it on Zhang Li's mouth, broke it open, and poured it into him with the bottom of the bottle.
As a result, the medicine was all drunk. Qin Ruqing looked at it for a while and thought of another question.
"Grandmaster, don't you think his injury is not serious enough? This Holy Blood Secret Water is a healing medicine in the early stage. If he drinks this bottle, what if he recovers and wakes up before the Zhang family comes to take him away? Then he will say something with his mouth bald..."
The ancestor was silent for a while: "...Your concern is not unreasonable. It doesn't matter. Let his injury worsen, until it is too serious for the Holy Blood Secret Water to cure it in the early stage."
Then he walked forward, took out a black pill and stuffed it into Zhang Li's mouth.
Qin Ruqing didn't ask what the pill was, and he knew it was similar to poison.
The ancestor was about to say let's go back, but Qin Ruqing touched his chin and said, "Ancestor, I remember that the Zhang family seemed to have hired a very powerful pharmacist. The Qi-restoring pill seemed to have been improved by him. This person is so powerful, will he be able to find a way to neutralize the medicinal properties of the Holy Blood Secret Water? Do we have to keep another trick in reserve? If the Holy Blood Secret Water doesn't kill Zhang Li, we can still make another move later?"
Ancestor: ...
It's ridiculous.
The ancestor was really shocked by Qin Ruqing's ridiculous ideas and was speechless for a long time. But you can't help but take her words seriously. Think about it carefully, there is really such a possibility...
...
After a sigh, the ancestor took out another thing from the storage bag, "This is the God-Eating Dragon. Plant the dragonfly into Zhang Li's body. The mother dragonfly is controlled by me. If I don't use spiritual energy to drive the dragonfly, Zhang Li will be of no use to good people. If Zhang Li is really not dead and wants to say something, the dragonfly will notice it and will immediately begin to devour his soul and consciousness. The person who is bitten by the dragonfly will become stupid until the dragonfly devours his soul and turns it into an empty shell."
Qin Ruqing rubbed the goose bumps on his arms, but his eyes lit up, and said, "Ancestor, great! Use this."
Isn't this a perfect match with the Holy Blood Secret Water!
One pretends to be a disguise, the other one makes up the attack, all done!
The ancestor said nothing, and walked forward to plant the insect on Zhang Li. After that, Qin Ruqing felt relaxed, took the ancestor's hand and said, "Ancestor, it's okay, let's go now!"
As a result, the ancestor looked at her and said, "I said you were jumpy and unstable before, now it seems that you really listened to my advice and corrected your shortcomings...very well."
Qin Ruqing: "Haha, ancestor, you also think that I corrected it well, right! I call it following my heart!"
Follow your heart, don't you understand (put your hands together
The ancestor listened to Qin Ruqing's silver bell-like laughter, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether this child was a little bit stupid or too much...
