The ancestor gave her a life-saving rune.

Although Qin Ruqing was anxious, she did not act rashly. Now that the ancestor had just come out of retreat, there must be many people who came to pay their respects to her. Now she might as well take this opportunity to ask her mother about the ancestor.

Qin Ruqing moved closer to Luo Xian, sighed, and asked curiously: "Mom, do you know how the ancestor got injured?"

"Why are you asking this?" Luo Xian was puzzled.

Qin Ruqing said casually: "I'm curious. The ancestor's injury has not healed, and his cultivation level has dropped so much, so I definitely want to know the reason."

Luo Xian nodded. That's true, and Qingqing was personally taught by the ancestor, so it's reasonable for her to care about the ancestor. Then he said, "The ancestor got this injury during an activity to resist the beast tide."

"Beast tide!" Qin Ruqing sat up straighter and looked serious. As a descendant of a family of immortal cultivators who had received orthodox teachings, she naturally knew what a beast tide was.

Monsters and demons were the biggest sources of danger in this world. Demons were easier to deal with, as their whereabouts were more mysterious, and demons were rare in Nanling County, mainly monsters.

According to the historical records of Nanling County, the beast tide here occurs once every hundred years, with an interval of one hundred to three hundred years. I didn't expect that the Qin family would catch up.

Luo Xian nodded: "The beast tide was so dangerous. The Qin family was assigned by the immortal of the Immortal Product Bureau to resist the monsters to the west of Luoxia Peak. Unfortunately, they encountered a Jindan-stage Ice Flame Beast." "

The ancestor was seriously injured at the time, but he finally stopped the Ice Flame Beast and successfully waited for the director of the Immortal Product Bureau to come to the rescue. The Qin family made a great contribution and then completely stood firm in Nanling County. However... the ancestor was also poisoned by the fire of the Ice Flame Beast."

Just these few words, Qin Ruqing was frightened. Mother said it calmly, but how much danger was there in it.

The ancestor actually stopped a Jindan-stage monster with his great foundation! No wonder she was so badly injured!

Moreover, "fire poison?" Qin Ruqing picked out these two words.

Luo Xian nodded: "I only heard that the fire poison of the Ice Flame Beast is very fierce. Although it is a fire poison, it has the characteristics of extreme cold. However, I am not an alchemist. I am sure only the ancestor knows how to cure this poison."

Qin Ruqing was still thinking about what his mother had just said when he rushed to Xianyingju.

It turned out that the ancestor was poisoned by the fire of an Ice Flame Beast in the Jindan stage. Although this poison is fire, it has the characteristics of extreme cold. No wonder the elixir that can help the ancestor heal his injuries is "mild extremely cold things" and "spiritual things with both extreme heat and extreme cold properties", which matches the characteristics of the Ice Flame Beast.

Qin Ruqing made up her mind that she must find out the names of the two spiritual medicines today. The ancestor's injury can't be delayed any longer!

-Qin

Ruqing was still rushing to Xianyingju, but her father had already arrived here early to report to the ancestor.

Qin Deming explained in detail the situation of the Qin family during this period.

How only a part of the spiritual milk was diluted to sell the marrow cleansing spiritual liquid, and then the Zhang family was inspired to launch an improved Qi-restoring pill, and then Qin Luwei also improved the Qi-restoring pill, and the effect was outstanding. He also talked about the Qin family's subsequent series of "marketing methods".

There were so many things that even the ancestor was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that so many things happened to the Qin family after I was in seclusion for only a month..."

"Lu Wei..." The ancestor mentioned this name, "I heard the great elder mention it to me before. This child seems to have an outstanding talent in alchemy?"

"That's right." Qin Deming said, "It's all her credit that the family was able to improve the Qi-recovering pill this time. Even the always prudent Third Elder praised her a few words later, saying that she was diligent and studious, and had extraordinary talent."

Qin Deming was naturally generous in praising the outstanding young people in the family, but when he said "it's all her credit", his daughter's figure flashed through his mind.

I don't know if it's because he, as a father, thinks that his child is good in every way, he always feels that the family has made great efforts to improve the Qi-recovering pill this time...

However, thinking of his daughter's alchemy skills that are not good enough, Qin Deming felt that he was overthinking.

At the head, the ancestor could not help but be interested in Qin Luwei after hearing this. Although she trained in swordsmanship, her main focus was on alchemy. The family was happy to see a young man with extraordinary alchemy talent. The ancestor

said, "Then ask Luwei to come and see me some other day."

Qin Deming knew that the ancestor was cultivating her.

After Qin Deming reported the affairs of the Qin family, he was about to leave Xianyingju when he bumped into Qin Ruqing who was running over.

Huh? What is this girl doing here?

"Qingqing, what are you doing here?" Qin Deming asked.

Qin Ruqing paused in her joy. Why is her father here too? She thought for a moment and started to explain, "Dad, I was taught by the ancestor. Now that she is out of retreat, why shouldn't I come over to see her?"

Qin Deming nodded. That was true. The clan was busy with affairs, so Qin Deming didn't stay here for long. He just gave Qin Ruqing a few words and left.

Qin Ruqing was no longer hindered and finally met the ancestor. She was very excited.

"Ancestor!"

The ancestor was also very happy to see her. "You and your father came over one after another. I heard from your father that you have been in trouble at home recently?"

Qin Ruqing waved her hand humbly, "They are all trivial matters. It's not worth the ancestor's worry." Although she said this, her mouth was already raised high, which showed that she was quite satisfied with her operations during this period.

Then she hurriedly asked, "Grandmaster, is the chalcedony useful for your injury? How is your recovery going?"

The ancestor simply said, "It is somewhat useful. What's the matter?"

"Isn't this just out of concern for your injury!" Her heart sank. Sure enough, the ancestor refused to elaborate.

No, even if she was going to throw a tantrum today, she had to ask about the elixir!

Qin Ruqing was ambitious in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface. As if she had just mentioned this topic, she mentioned it casually:

"By the way, ancestor, you told me before that in order to cure your injury, you need two kinds of things, a mild extreme cold thing and a spiritual thing with both extreme heat and extreme cold properties. Qingqing remembers all of these, but you only told me the characteristics and did not tell me the specific name. In the future, even if Qingqing wants to find a spiritual medicine for you, it will be difficult to find it without knowing the name!"

Qin Ruqing's tone was like a childish complaint, which made the ancestor laugh. She glanced at Qin Ruqing, "Why, if I tell you the name, Qingqing can find it for me immediately?"

Qin Ruqing was not afraid of being teased at all, and raised his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to meet it... Hehe, I always think I'm lucky."

Qin Ruqing boasted about herself.

But the old ancestor pondered for a while and actually confirmed her statement, "You are indeed lucky. Those who possess the Dao body are all people with great luck favored by God."

Qin Ruqing said nothing. Luck is probably a superstition in the world of immortal cultivation. Everyone believes in it to some extent - of course, maybe it is not just superstition, but it is true.

Qin Ruqing is happy to see that everyone around her guesses that she is a person with great luck, so that she can save a lot of explanations. In addition, from another perspective, isn't it a manifestation of luck that she can have a system and awaken the Dao body?

So Qin Ruqing continued the words of the ancestor and said: "So, Qingqing's luck is so good, it is natural for her to find the healing elixir for the ancestor. Grandpa, just tell Qingqing!" Qin Ruqing began to shake the ancestor's arm.

The ancestor couldn't stand the pestering and finally gave in: "Okay, I'll tell you."

When mentioning his own injury, the ancestor was very cautious and his expression became slightly serious. "My injury is very difficult. If you want to cure it completely, you need two very rare and precious spiritual objects in the world."

"The first one is called the Heart of Ice. It is the extremely mild and extremely cold thing I told you before."

"All things have spirits. The Heart of Ice is also called the Spirit of Ice. It is the spiritual essence condensed from the cold and mysterious ice for thousands of years. It is not a dead thing. It has certain "alive" characteristics and is good at hiding."

"The ten thousand year old cold profound ice is an extremely rare ice attribute spiritual object, not to mention the spiritual essence it forms. I'm afraid that even a hundred feet of ice can't form a strand of it. In addition, the formed ice heart will automatically hide, which makes it even more difficult to find."

Qin Ruqing frowned deeply after hearing this. Will it hide by itself? That's indeed a bit difficult.

Qin Ruqing couldn't help but put his hope on the second spiritual object, "Then, ancestor, what about the other one? What is the second spiritual object you need?"

The ancestor sighed: "The second one is more difficult to obtain than the first one. Even if I say it, it will only cause you trouble."

Here it comes again. Ancestor, why do you always have this idea? We are not afraid of trouble at all. More people means more strength. Why do you have to take care of everything by yourself?

Qin Ruqing patted his chest and said, "It's okay. I'm open-minded. I can't be bothered by anything... Old Ancestor, just tell me."

"I'm open-minded." This was the first time he had heard someone say that about himself. The old ancestor was amused. But this kid was indeed open-minded - he was obviously a delicate person with a keen insight into the world, but he was also very open-minded in some aspects.

So the old ancestor said, "The second spiritual object I need is called the Ice and Fire Grass."

"This grass..." The old ancestor paused for some reason, and a complicated thought flashed across his eyes.

Qin Ruqing didn't notice and asked in confusion: "Grandfather, what's wrong with this grass?"

The ancestor continued as if nothing had happened: "This grass grows in the border area between extreme heat and extreme cold, so it has the properties of extreme heat and extreme cold."

Qin Ruqing was puzzled, "It sounds like it is easier to obtain than the Heart of Ice."

Why did the ancestor say that the Ice and Fire Grass is more difficult to obtain?

"Because, there are usually high-level monsters guarding around the Ice and Fire Grass."

The ancestor smiled and looked into the distance, "In fact, I already knew where the Ice and Fire Grass is many years ago. In the primitive dense forest in the southernmost part of Nanling County, there are traces of the Ice and Fire Grass..."

Qin Ruqing's eyes lit up, "Then..."

The ancestor said, "But there is also a Jindan stage cultivator guarding it. "Ice Flame Beast, and even if I recover from my injury, I am only at the stage of building a perfect foundation, and I cannot defeat this Ice Flame Beast at all."

Hearing this familiar name again, Qin Ruqing frowned, "Ice Flame Beast, isn't this the culprit that caused you to be injured, how come, the one who hurt you and the one who can heal you are in the same place?"

The ancestor was surprised, "You actually know the Ice Flame Beast?"

"Hehe, Qingqing couldn't help being curious, so she asked mother to learn a little about how you got this injury..." As for the degree of this "slightly", it depends on the ancestor's own understanding.

The ancestor said with understanding. This child is particularly concerned about her injury.

"You know, it's okay. When I was resisting the beast tide, I fought a Jindan-stage Ice Flame Beast and was poisoned by its fire. As for the Ice and Fire Grass, it really grows near the Ice Flame Beast's lair. It is also under the influence of this grass that the Ice Flame Beast has such extreme hot and cold properties."

Qin Ruqing clenched his fists: "So that's how it is. Ancestor, that's perfect. When Qingqing When I become stronger in the future, I will kill the Ice Flame Beast while I am getting herbs for you, and avenge you! "

These words made the ancestor feel very relieved, but the ancestor said: "You may not be able to take revenge, the Ice Flame Beast that hurt me has been killed by the immortal of the Immortal Product Bureau, and the Ice Flame Beast in the primitive dense forest is another one. "

It is the lover of the original Ice Flame Beast. Of course, the ancestor did not say this to Qingqing, the child.

Oh, so that's the case. Qin Ruqing said: "That's fine. In short, Qingqing will definitely get the Ice and Fire Grass for the ancestor, but the ancestor will have to wait for another ten or eight years."

Qin Ruqing looked smiling, and her face was really pleasing - ten or eight years? It was just to comfort the ancestor and express his determination.

The ancestor naturally understood that Qin Ruqing was coaxing her, but he continued: "Ten or eight years? If Qingqing can really achieve the golden elixir in ten or eight years, the ancestor will die immediately and feel at ease on the road to the underworld."

"Pfft..." Qin Ruqing was unhappy, "What life or death, ancestor, you should be more careful when you speak."

The ancestor looked at Qin Ruqing with a gentle look. She had no children, and most of the Qin family treated her as the ancestor. They were respectful to her, but not close enough. Until now, it was only this child who had the best relationship with her.

The ancestor thought for a moment, and something appeared in his palm. "You are extremely gifted and smart, but the only bad thing is that you are a little jumpy and impetuous, and there may be disasters in the future. I give you this thing, and one day in the future, it may save you from danger."

The ancestor's meaning is very simple. It translates to: You are good in every way, with good talent and good personality, but you are a little unstable and like to jump and dance. I am not worried about your cultivation, but I am worried that you will bring disaster to yourself because of dancing too much. So I give you a life-saving thing.

Qin Ruqing's butt moved uneasily. The ancestor's words were complimenting her, but it seemed that he was implying that she jumped up and down too much (I didn't!). She couldn't help but clear her throat and forced her eyes to the palm of the ancestor's hand.

The square purple talisman paper had complex runes flashing across it. "What is this talisman?" Qin Ruqing was curious.

"It contains my magic, representing the full force attack of a mid-stage foundation building cultivator." The ancestor's tone was very understated, as if the rune that sealed the full force attack of a foundation building cultivator was not worth mentioning.

But Qin Ruqing is not a fool. In Nanling County, one can become the ancestor of a family by building a foundation. With this rune, Qin Ruqing can basically walk around Nanling.

Qin Ruqing was of course excited, and her breathing became rapid. However, she knew the severity of the situation. The ancestor's injury had not healed yet, and he had just come out of retreat. Would it be too much of a drain on the ancestor to seal such a spell?

Thinking of this, Qin Ruqing quickly shook her head, "Ancestor, this is too precious. I can't take it."

The ancestor deliberately raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't your parents say that you have always been thick-skinned? I think so too. Why are you so shy today?"

Qin Ruqing was stunned. Thick-skinned... Ancestor, it turns out that you also think I am thick-skinned.

Skipping this, Qin Ruqing's face became more serious, and she wanted to explain to the ancestor why she didn't want it. As a result, the ancestor seemed to know what she wanted to say and spoke first:

"I give you this not only because I like you, but also because you are very important to the Qin family. Do you know why the Qin family has never publicized your talent to the outside world even though you are so gifted?"

Qin Ruqing vaguely understood what the ancestor meant, and felt a little happy, but still replied seriously: "A big tree attracts the wind. The family does this to protect me."

The ancestor nodded: "It seems that you understand too. The family would rather not have this reputation than not protect you. To put it more bluntly, if I die in the future, the burden of the Qin family's return to the East Region will be on you, do you understand?"

Qin Ruqing was silent for a while after listening, then stood up with a stern face, first solemnly kowtowed to the ancestor, then took the talisman and said seriously: "Qingqing understands."

The ancestor nodded with satisfaction.

However, Qin Ruqing returned to her original form after a short while. She blinked at the ancestor and said with a smile: "But you can't fall, ancestor. With Qingqing here, she will definitely heal your injuries and then bring the Qin family back to the East!"

The ancestor was amused, and his smile was also filled with relief and complexity. It sounded like the innocent words of a child, but it seemed that half of the burden on her shoulders had really been taken away.

She sighed and said, "Then the ancestor has been waiting for this day."

When she returned to her courtyard in the evening, Qin Ruqing called out the system without stopping.

"System, are there two things, the Ice and Fire Grass and the Heart of Ice in the mall?"

The system did not answer, as if it was searching. Qin Ruqing couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw this.

After a while, the system said: [Only the Heart of Ice was detected. 】

Qin Ruqing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It's so difficult to obtain the two spiritual objects of heaven and earth. The best case scenario is that both are available in the system mall. In this case, the only problem to worry about is whether there are enough points. That would be much easier.

But now there is only the Heart of Ice in the mall, which means that she will have to find a way to get the Ice and Fire Grass guarded by the Jindan stage monster in the future.

Qin Ruqing quickly cheered up. It was actually not bad. It was already very good to have one.

She asked: "System, how many points do I need to exchange for the Heart of Ice."

【3000.】

Qin Ruqing: "..."

She suspected that this damn system was calculating how many points she had in her pocket and then quoted a price based on the price.

She has been accumulating points until today, and after completing so many tasks, she has only accumulated about 3,000 points. The last time she consumed a large amount of points was when the system tricked her into exchanging for a high-quality spiritual cultivation secret method.

But at least the system needed her help that time (asking her to sell the copyright), so it gave her a 30% discount, and she consumed some points that time. Later, she discovered the stalactite cave for the family, improved the recipe of the Qi-recovering pill, and designed a marketing plan for the family, and accumulated a lot of points. She feels like a small rich woman.

As a result, now when she wants to buy something from him in the mall, the dog system asks for 3,000 points. Isn't this just staring at her wallet and begging for food!

Qin Ruqing said vigilantly: "System, you are playing tricks on me, right? I only have more than 3,400 points, and you ask me for 3,000? I don't believe it!"

The system was not ambiguous and immediately switched to the mall page, which showed that the Heart of Ice did require 3,000 points.

But Qin Ruqing didn't believe this at all. The layout is something that the system can change at will.

Qin Ruqing straightened his neck, closed his eyes slightly, and said quickly: "Or, give me another discount!"

The system may have been fleeced by Qin Ruqing so much that it developed a rebellious heart. It immediately closed the page and turned off the screen, as if you don't want to buy it.

Qin Ruqing was a little embarrassed: "Hey, I'm just negotiating with you. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. I didn't say I don't want to buy it." The voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke.

It seems that the system has to keep the fat sheep in the near future, so I won’t trick it into giving it a discount this time.

Qin Ruqing said with a heartache, gritting her teeth: "System, help me redeem the Ice Heart."

[Confirm to spend 3,000 points to redeem the Ice Heart? ]

Wait, Qin Ruqing suddenly remembered something, "System, this Ice Heart is not redeemed for my personal use, the system is going to materialize it in a rational way, right?"

[Yes. Items redeemed from the mall that are not used by the host himself need to be processed in a rational way. ]

Qin Ruqing said cautiously: "Well, can we make it clear first, where do you want it to be materialized?"

It was not easy to redeem the Ice Heart. If it is materialized in a place where no one shits, where can you tell her to get it.

【Rationalization: Everything is random, the system cannot control it, and it cannot be predicted.】

"Then, you..."

Before Qin Ruqing could finish her words, two big red words flashed on the system screen: 【No!】

Tsk, I haven't said it yet, and I know what I'm going to say?

But Qin Ruqing also saw that the system had no intention of negotiating this time, so he said, "Forget it, just redeem it for me directly."

【The Heart of Ice has been redeemed and materialized in the Past Secret Realm. Please go to the Past Secret Realm to obtain it.】

Qin Ruqing frowned. Materialize in the Past Secret Realm? "System, where is the Past Secret Realm?"

The Past Secret Realm is so big, does she have to look for it bit by bit?

【This is the host's business.】

Qin Ruqing choked, and then her face became grim. Good fellow, you are really here to take revenge on me for fleecing me before, right? I will fleece you hard next time!

Qin Ruqing didn't have time to argue with the system. The problem now was to quickly go to the complex secret realm and find the Ice Heart.

I just hope that the dog system will be a bit more human, and the Ice Heart will fall on the Qin family's half of the secret realm.

If it falls on the side developed by the Zhang family... then things will be tricky.
