The ancestor is in seclusion, Qin Ruqing is showing off his power
Qin Ruqing actually asked the system whether there is a guarantee for the ten-draw.
To be honest, the system thought this question was really strange, and it even seemed like it was a way of taking advantage
of the system, causing the system to remain silent for a long time. Finally, he said: [The system currently does not have this function.]
Qin Ruqing frowned fiercely, you don’t have a guarantee? If there is no guarantee, then why should I collect ten-draw? Most importantly, if you don’t have a guarantee, how can someone like me who relies on the guarantee to make a living?
Qin Ruqing said: "Your system is not very good, you need to keep up with the times, don’t you know? If you don’t have a guarantee, how can you motivate the host to spend money, no, to participate in the lottery? How can I work hard to complete the tasks and accumulate points without motivation?"
[But the system has never had this precedent. 】
Qin Ruqing: If there is no precedent, we can set one. The first person to try something new doesn't just appear out of nowhere.
The system remained silent.
Qin Ruqing: "And your Lord God didn't explicitly say that this can't be done, right? You still have certain internal authority. What's the purpose of this authority? It's to allow you to use it flexibly and improve your performance!"
The system said dryly: [It would be great if your ability to complete tasks was as good as your ability to speak well. 】
Qin Ruqing: Ha! System, you can have a dry sense of humor now, that's good.
[……] Can't you hear that I'm being sarcastic?
[……If the ten-draw program is changed to have a guaranteed minimum, I'm not sure if I will be punished by the Lord God. The most I can do is adjust the explosion rate of the ten-draw to increase your chance of drawing gold-level items. 】
Qin Ruqing: Okay.
This system is not only good, but also quite tricky. It is probably the best it can do. It is also okay to increase the explosion rate, it is better than nothing :)
In the following time, Qin Ruqing has been looking for an opportunity to ask the ancestor about the two spiritual medicines. But this opportunity never came, because the ancestor closed the door urgently after telling the Qin family some things.
Everything originated from that half piece of chalcedony. Because the characteristic of chalcedony is the crystallization of the stalactite cave, once it leaves the stalactite cave, it will gradually disappear, even if it is sealed with the top-grade jade products.
Therefore, the ancestor closed the door in a hurry, just to seize the time to refine this half piece of chalcedony.
Qin Ruqing felt a little regretful, it seems that he will have to wait for a while longer. No one understands Qin Ruqing's inner anxiety. The other members of the Qin family are already used to the fact that the ancestor is in seclusion.
The ancestor usually doesn't ask about the Qin family's affairs. He mostly practices meditation and seclusion. This is the norm.
The clan meeting had previously discussed how to deal with the stalactite cave. It is in the same mountain range as the spirit stone mine and is very secretive. This problem is easy to solve. Just make this mountain range a forbidden area for the Qin family.
Now Qin Dexin no longer participates in other family affairs. She is mainly responsible for this forbidden area. Because besides the ancestor, she is the only one who builds the foundation. Such an important place must be guarded by a foundation builder, so that the Qin family can feel at ease.
In addition, the Qin family also attaches great importance to the fact that the stalactite cave can speed up the speed of cultivation. Although half of the chalcedony was taken out, the ancestor said that it is still useful for cultivators below the fifth level of Qi training.
Most of the cultivators below the fifth level are children in the school, so the school has added a "intensive training class". Every seven days, they have to go to a mysterious place for training. This training list is not for all students, and students need to participate in the competition during these seven days.
In other words, only the elite students of the school can go to the forbidden area.
This rule caused an uproar in the school. When Qin Ruqing was leaving class, he heard many students discussing this matter.
Qin Ruqing did not participate in these discussions, and these students did not know that this matter was related to Qin Ruqing.
Little Fatty and Little Lu Wei touched Qin Ruqing's seat, and the three of them whispered.
"Sister, why doesn't the clan allow them all to go?"
Qi Rong was puzzled. It can speed up the cultivation process, what a good thing. Xiao Luwei thought: "It should be because there are too many people and it is difficult to manage."
Qin Ruqing nodded: "Third sister is still smart, but there are too many people, and with too many eyes, it is inevitable that some things will be exposed. That place is so important. Before there is a perfect plan, the Qin family can only send some elite students to go, and even this is the limit."
Qin Luwei pondered for a while, and then said: "This seven-day competition selection is quite interesting. According to the usual classroom performance and training results, extra points will be awarded. The top three with the highest points can be allowed to enter the forbidden area, and the points will be cleared every seven days."
Qin Ruqing looked around, chuckled, and whispered: "I mentioned it to my father."
This news is shocking. Qin Luwei's eyes flashed with surprise, and Qirong was about to exclaim, but then he thought of something and quickly covered his mouth.
"After listening to it, Dad thought it was good, and held a small meeting with the elders after returning. They all thought it could stimulate healthy competition, so they agreed to use it."
Qin Luwei said admiringly after listening, "Xiaowu, you always have a lot of wonderful ideas in your mind."
Qin Ruqing was about to speak, but suddenly heard a group of people talking louder, as if someone looked in their direction and started muttering.
"Why can the three of them go without participating in the election? What is the basis for that?"
"Don't say it. They are all the direct descendants of the Qin family. Behind them are either the clan leader or the elders. Naturally, they are different from us..."
This group of people actually dared to talk about us behind our backs! Qin Luwei's pretty face changed instantly. She pursed her lips tightly and grasped the sword in her hand without saying a word. The hilt
of the sword bounced open, and the sword tip already flashed a cold light. Qin Ruqing leaned over and smiled as she pressed the hilt of Qin Luwei's sword back.
That is to say, although her third sister looks like a sweet fairy and is an alchemy cultivator, she has the heart of a sword cultivator and will draw her sword if she disagrees with someone.
Qin Ruqing said calmly: "Third sister, you can't fight so directly. If you do, they will think we are bullying others by taking advantage of our power. We don't have to participate in the election for a legitimate reason, so why bother to let people talk about it?"
Qin Ruqing said to her third sister, and then turned to walk towards the group. They were still talking, but when they saw Qin Ruqing coming, they gradually stopped talking.
Qin Ruqing smiled and said: "Are you dissatisfied that the three of us can go to that place without participating in the election? Do you think there is someone behind us and we have connections?"
The tallest and thinnest one in the group was the bravest, and he said at this time: "Isn't it true that the school is competing fairly and honestly, just because you are special?"
His parents are very prestigious managers in the Qin family, so he dared to say this boldly. In fact, he just said those words on purpose for Qin Ruqing and the others to hear.
Qin Ruqing still smiled and nodded: "Then do you know that the school is holding a selection with great fanfare this time, and the mysterious place that you are rewarded with in the end was discovered by the three of us? Without the three of us, this selection would not have happened from the beginning."
"You think it's unfair that the three of us didn't participate in the selection, but have you ever thought about it, even if the three of us go through the selection process normally, with our ability, the probability of being selected is also very high. There are only three places in total, and the three of us participated. How many places do you think can fall into your hands?"
At the end, Qin Ruqing clicked his tongue a few times, and said with a look of disgust: "In the end, is it more beneficial for you if we participate or not? You can't even solve the simplest arithmetic problem, right?"
After listening to this, several people looked at each other. The arrogant voices gradually died down.
They can't even solve the simplest arithmetic problems... Of course they can.
They used to be angry that Qin Ruqing and the others didn't have to participate in the election, thinking it was unfair, but they forgot to think carefully. If Qin Ruqing and the others really participated in the election, it would not benefit them at all.
Seeing that they understood, Qin Ruqing put her hands behind her back and smiled more sweetly. She said: "But you are right just now. The elders behind us do have a say in the clan. Otherwise, I will talk to Dad and ask him to cancel our rewards and let us go the way of the legitimate election... It will also save people from gossiping." Just kidding
! Qin Ruqing has never been in trouble since she was a child, from her past life to this life. How can she expect these people to speak nicely to her when they are being sarcastic to her behind her back? She has to choke them back!
The group of people shook their heads repeatedly after being choked. The tall and thin boy also realized the current situation. He bowed and smiled apologetically: "Sister Qingqing, we are wrong. I hope you will not bear grudges... We were wrong before. With your talent and strength, it would be ridiculous to follow us to compete for elections! It would be a waste of your time!" Wow!
He slid to his knees so fast!
Not to mention, Qin Ruqing even looked at the tall and thin boy with new eyes. He could even call someone younger than himself "sister". He dared to provoke her, but when he failed to provoke her, he could slide to his knees and surrender in time. He is really a talent!
Qin Ruqing was happy in her heart, but she said, "You only apologize to me, but what about my third sister and fourth brother?" She
was a little unskilled when she called the fourth brother. The first time in my life that I called the fourth brother was at this time, Rongqiuer, you are so lucky!
This group of people apologized very happily. After they left, Qi Rongjing started to pull Qin Ruqing's sleeve with bright eyes, "Sister, you called me fourth brother~"
Hehehehe, I really want to hear my sister call me more.
Qin Ruqing pushed Qi Rong's hand away, wiped her face away, and muttered impatiently, "It's annoying, I didn't call you!"
Qin Luwei looked at the scene, covered her mouth and smiled softly, completely different from the look of a stern face ready to draw the sword just now.
A school turmoil was resolved invisibly like this. The tall and thin boy was indeed a smart one. When he heard that other students were dissatisfied with this matter, he directly spread what Qin Ruqing said today.
What about that place was discovered by Qin Ruqing and the other two; in fact, it is a good thing for us that these three people do not participate in the election, because there are more quotas, etc.
This indirectly helped Qin Ruqing to clear up the rumors. After all, she couldn't go up to explain to everyone who was dissatisfied. This matter was completely exposed.
In addition to the changes in the school, the Qin family also refined a batch of marrow cleansing spirit liquid and sold it in the Qin's pharmacy.
When Qin Ruqing used this thing to nourish his soul earlier, he knew it was expensive and rare. Using it for a few months was equivalent to burning an eighth-grade magic weapon.
The reasons why it is expensive and rare are actually complementary. Because the raw materials are hard to come by, the price is high.
The most important ingredient in making the marrow cleansing spiritual liquid is called spiritual spring water by those who don't know much about it, but all the alchemists know that the so-called spiritual spring water is actually spiritual milk diluted countless times.
Of course, spiritual milk is much more precious than spiritual spring. Where there is a spiritual spring, there may not be spiritual milk, but where there is spiritual milk, there must be a spiritual spring.
The dripping sound that Qin Ruqing and his friends heard when they were looking for the spiritual cave was emitted by the spiritual spring in the stalactite cave.
In other words, spiritual spring water is the least valuable thing in the stalactite cave, but the Qin family uses it to make expensive marrow cleansing spiritual liquid. As for the more precious spiritual milk, of course the Qin family kept it for their own use.
Qin Ruqing also asked his father why he didn't take out some of the spiritual milk to sell. Spiritual milk is more difficult to obtain, so naturally the price is higher.
Qin Deming shook his head when he heard this. He said, no, it’s okay to just sell the marrow cleansing spiritual liquid. After all, although spiritual spring water is rare, it can still be found in many places. But spiritual milk... it’s too easy for people to associate it. People who are interested will easily think that the Qin family has obtained a spiritual cave similar to stalactites when they see the Qin family selling a large amount of spiritual milk.
Qin Deming also said that the ancestor is still in seclusion, and it is unknown to what extent his injuries can be recovered. The Qin family is not short of money now, so it is
better to be cautious at this time. After listening to this, Qin Ruqing thought to himself, Dad is still cautious as always, but this time, he is right. Before the ancestor’s injury recovers, no matter how cautious the Qin family is, it is not too much.
Therefore, adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile, although the Qin family has the conditions to produce a large amount of marrow cleansing spiritual liquid, they still take the high-end route of less but better, that is, refining and selling in batches, with no more than ten bottles per batch, and a maximum of two batches per month.
The quantity is indeed not much, but the advantage is long-term stability.
However, because it is too easy to make, the Qin family, relying on their "conscience", gave a price lower than the market price, and received unanimous praise from customers. Of course, they were also honored to receive unanimous condemnation from competitors: D
To be honest, there are not many pharmacies in the entire Nanling County that can sell marrow cleansing spiritual liquid stably for a long time. Being able to sell this stably means that at least one spring of spiritual spring water is controlled.
Those who sell one or two bottles are all retail investors. They don't have a stable source of materials. They only got a little by coincidence, which is not worth mentioning.
Among the several pharmacies that can stably sell the marrow cleansing liquid, the pharmacy owned by the Zhang family has the largest shipment volume. Therefore, the biggest impact of the Qin family's operation is still the Zhang family.
There are three major families in Nanling County. Qin, Zhang and Han are old rivals. Now there is such a thing. It is hard not to let the Zhang family think too much.
At this time, Zhang Ming, the manager of Zhang's pharmacy, was reporting the business situation of the pharmacy during this period to their elder.
Zhang Ming said angrily, "Grand Elder, the Qin family did this on purpose. They knew that our Zhang family was selling the Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Liquid, but they followed suit and sold it at such a low price! Such a low price is almost catching up with the cost, and they have no profit at all. If this is not deliberately challenging us, then what is it!"
The Zhang family's Grand Elder frowned. He also knew that the Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Liquid sold by Qin's Pharmacy recently was a hot seller. It was not a big deal to temporarily steal the Zhang family's business, but if it continued for a long time...
The Grand Elder asked, "Have you studied their Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Liquid? Is there any problem with the price being so low?"
Zhang Ming was silent for a while, and shook his head unwillingly, "Not only is there no problem, even the lowest-priced one in their pharmacy is of better quality than ours. The Qin family may have mastered a spiritual spring with extremely high quality, otherwise it would be impossible to do this!"
"The lowest-priced one?" The elder was puzzled, "Why, do they have a better-priced one?" "
The Qin family has made two types of marrow cleansing spiritual liquid. It's strange to say that the quality of their low-priced one is better than ours, and the quality of the high-priced one is even better, just like... spiritual spring water is worthless, and the concentration is extremely high!"
The elder narrowed his eyes. It seems that the Qin family got a lot of good things in the secret realm this time.
As for why it is a secret realm, if the Qin family can find something good outside, they will not be suppressed by the Zhang and Han families as before. In this situation, he can only think of the secret realm.
Zhang Ming looked at the great elder who didn't say anything, and felt a little anxious. The business of the pharmacy is directly related to his contribution to the clan. To put it bluntly, the better the business of the pharmacy, the more spirit stones he earns, the greater his contribution to the family, and the higher his status.
However, on the other hand, if the performance is not good... then the lucrative job of managing the pharmacy will most likely be replaced by someone else.
The reason why Zhang Ming looked for the great elder was because the great elder pushed him to this position. In other words, he is the great elder's man, and if he is replaced, it will harm the interests of the great elder.
"Great elder, are we just going to sit and wait for death? The price of the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Liquid produced by Qin is lower than ours, and the quality is better. No matter how stupid a person is, he will not patronize our Zhang's pharmacy. However, the profit of the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Liquid is the highest among all the pharmacies. Are we also going to lower the price and start a price war with Qin?"
The great elder frowned and waved his hands, "No, price war is not a long-term solution. Moreover, Qin dares to lower the price so much, which shows that their own production cost is not high. The only ones who will be hurt in a price war are us."
"Then..."
"Switch to another kind of elixir."
Zhang Ming wondered: "Change to another kind of elixir? Elder, what kind of elixir is more profitable than the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Liquid?"
The great elder slowly said a name.
Zhang Ming's eyes widened. "Restoring Pill?" He looked embarrassed. "Elder, Restoring Pill is the most common elixir. All pharmacies make it almost the same, but the profit is the lowest!"
The eldest elder smiled lightly. "What if our Zhang family launched a Restoring Pill with better effect and lower price? With the demand for Restoring Pill, what do you think will happen to the pharmacy's business?"
Zhang Ming seemed to have an idea. He whispered, "If there really is such a Restoring Pill, the pharmacy's monthly sales can easily double."
The eldest elder said calmly, "Even if the Qin family occupies all the market for Marrow Cleansing Spirit Liquid, so what? The demand for Marrow Cleansing Spirit Liquid itself is limited." He stood up, straightened his sleeves and walked out. "Only Restoring Pill, this essential elixir, can..." "
Can what?" He didn't say, but Zhang Ming's imagination ran wild after hearing it. He hurried after him, "Then, Great Elder, is there really such a Qi-recovering pill that is more effective and cheaper?"
The Great Elder walked without stopping, and only said a sentence casually.
"The Zhang family recently invited a new guest elder, who improved the formula of the Qi-recovering pill."
The improved formula of the Qi-recovering pill... Zhang Ming's eyes widened, and he heard the sound of his heart beating wildly.
