The identity of the reincarnation of a great power, the promise of the ancestor
Qin Ruqing's breakthrough this time can be said to be a natural result without any difficulty.
Her cultivation speed was very fast. When she was drawing Qi into her body before, she actually had some energy to go up, but in order to stabilize her realm, she forced it down and suppressed it to the third level of Qi training.
Now that she is facing a life-and-death crisis, her mind is highly concentrated, her spiritual energy is running at a high intensity, and she has taken
chalcedony, so it is natural for her to break through to the fourth level of Qi training. However, even if everything is reasonable, the fact in front of them still shocked Luo Xian and the ancestor.
In their impression, Qin Ruqing was just about to finish the spiritual cultivation period. Well, even if you count the time carefully, only half a year has passed, and then... she has reached the fourth level of Qi training? !
Seeing her relaxed look, it seemed that breaking through was as easy as eating and drinking. Is this the legendary one in a hundred thousand who possesses the Dao body? It's really shocking!
The ancestor is still better, after all, he has a wide range of knowledge. Luo Xian couldn't hide her astonishment. She stared at Qin Ruqing, as if she was meeting her daughter for the first time.
——In the past, she only knew that her daughter was a genius, but now she knows to what extent this "genius" is a genius.
So, when Qin Ruqing opened her eyes, she saw her mother staring at her in amazement. When she looked at him, her amazement turned into ecstasy, and then tears as big as beans welled up in her eyes.
Qin Ruqing was unexpectedly hugged by her mother. She heard her sobbing in her ear and said with tears and snot:
"Qingqing, my son! Darling! You finally woke up, you must have worried me so much..."
Qin Ruqing's face was buried in her chest. While bearing this sweet burden, she thought blankly: What did she do to make her mother cry like she died young...
Qin Ruqing couldn't remember for a moment, so she had to turn her gaze to the ancestor. The ancestor looked at them with happy smiles and said softly: "Now that you have survived a disaster, you should have a good cry to get rid of the bad luck." Surviving a disaster
... Qin Ruqing was stunned, and then those familiar scenes emerged in her mind one by one like a movie:
she finally found the Heart of Ice, but turned around and ran into a sneaky gray cannon man; the old guy shamelessly chased her, and she was exhausted. Later, she used the rune given by the ancestor to blow him away, and she was also seriously injured by the aftermath...
After Qin Ruqing remembered everything, her face became stern, her lips pursed, and she began to ask about the life and death of the gray cannon man.
She clenched her fists and said angrily, "I didn't do anything. That man was so happy to see me like a cat seeing a mouse! Where is he! Is he dead? If not, let me go up and stab him!"
Qin Ruqing's little mouth was talking in a crackling manner, and she looked full of energy. No one could tell that she had just been seriously injured and was lying on the bed half dead.
The ancestor was happy to see her spirit, and deliberately glanced at Luo Xian and teased, "You are alike with your mother, worthy of being mother and daughter."
Qin Ruqing didn't understand, but Luo Xian understood that the ancestor was teasing Qingqing for shouting and killing like herself before. She was angry and anxious before, but now that her daughter had woken up, Luo Xian realized it belatedly and felt a little ashamed. She pretended to be calm, cleared her throat, held down her daughter's flailing hands, and soothed her:
"My daughter has just recovered from her injuries, so she should rest well. The man is locked up in the dungeon and can't run away. Once you've recovered from your injuries, it will still be in time for you to take revenge on him."
"Then I have to go and see..."
Luo Xian held down Qin Ruqing, who was about to jump up like a cow, and coaxed her.
The ancestor did not want to interrupt the warm scene of the mother-daughter reunion, so he said: "Qingqing has just woken up from a serious injury. You should rest well these days. When you recover, remember to come to Xianyingju to find me. I have something to tell you."
Qin Ruqing was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, Qingqing will also have something to say to the ancestor then."
The ice heart she found had to be given to the ancestor!
The ancestor smiled and turned to leave.
After Qin Ruqing watched the old man leave, she rubbed her chest in confusion, "Mom, I remember that I was seriously injured at that time, and I thought I was going to die. How come after sleeping for a few days, I don't even feel any pain? I even feel more energetic than before? Could it be that my Taoist body is so powerful?"
Qin Ruqing was surprised and happy, and a little proud, which was an emotion she would only show in front of her mother.
Luo Xian glared at her, "You know you almost lost your life, why didn't you run away when you saw a weird and dangerous person? And why did you go to such a far place for no reason?"
Qin Ruqing smiled embarrassedly. Luo Xian was just scolding her. In fact, she knew in her heart that Qingqing had done a good job in that situation, so she said, "Although your Taoist body is powerful, you will have to lie in bed for a month because of that injury. It was the ancestor who fed you a drop of jadeite that made you so lively."
Jadeite? Qin Ruqing was puzzled, "Where did the jadeite come from?" Didn't the ancestor give her all the remaining jadeite?
Luo Xian pouted and pointed at Qin Ruqing's storage bag, "Look, it's in your bag. Didn't the ancestor give you three drops of jadeite before? Now he took out one drop... Let me say that the ancestor really loves you. The jadeite for healing is not enough for himself, and he saved three drops for you..."
Qin Ruqing's subordinates put their consciousness on the storage bag, which was embroidered with auspicious patterns. The ancestor had seen her storage bag, so doesn't that mean... the Ice Heart was also seen by the ancestor?
Qin Ruqing didn't think it was a big deal, because the Ice Heart was originally found for the ancestor. But when Luo Xian asked as if she had thought of something, "By the way, what did the ancestor want you to get from Mirror Lake? Did you get it? Mirror Lake is close to the border and very dangerous. Don't go there alone next time..."
Luo Xian was still talking, but Qin Ruqing was stunned. She frowned and said hesitantly, "The ancestor asked me... to go to Mirror Lake to get something?"
Luo Xian looked at her expression and was also puzzled, "The ancestor said so, otherwise why would you go to Mirror Lake for nothing, you are really playing around..."
Qin Ruqing stood there motionless. Luo Xian pushed her, "Why are you so stupid after waking up, kid? Did the injury really hurt your brain?"
Qin Ruqing smiled embarrassedly, "I just woke up and my memory is not good..."
The ancestor actually said that it was she who asked her to go to Mirror Lake... This not only offset everyone's doubts, but also saved her the effort of explaining.
However, in this way, all the responsibilities were transferred to the ancestor...
In the next few days, Qin Ruqing was pressed on the bed by her own mother and lay there for two days. Even though Qin Ruqing repeatedly emphasized that she was well, Luo Xian refused to give in.
Okay, just take it as a vacation.
On the third day, Qin Ruqing was finally allowed to walk on the ground. During these days, she was still in the secret realm and had not been moved. At this moment, Qin Ruqing was sitting on the western cliff, leaning on one leg, looking into the distance, and... um, thinking about life.
"Oh, I'm so worried!" Qin Ruqing changed her leg.
In fact, this matter has not been resolved. The Qin family will still have to argue with the Zhang family in the future. However, these are all things that the family has to worry about. As for Qin Ruqing herself, she has an important matter to deal with right now.
The ancestor helped her cover up the traces in front of everyone, but she still needs to explain in front of the ancestor. Although the ancestor is smart and may not ask about it, Qin Ruqing herself still has to think of what to say.
On the fourth day, Qin Ruqing was "notified" that her injuries had healed, and she could finally move freely! Then she went to the Xianying Residence where the ancestor was with a heroic spirit.
The ancestor seemed to have expected her to come today and had been waiting in front of the bamboo building on the island in the middle of the lake.
Kneeling on the round mat opposite the ancestor, Qin Ruqing picked up the white porcelain pot on the table and poured a cup of tea for the ancestor, then smiled and said: "Ancestor, Qingqing escaped from death, and now I come to pay my respects to you."
It is indeed Qin Ruqing's style to show off right from the start. The ancestor was amused and followed suit: "It's really difficult to wait for you to pay your respects. I have been waiting here for three days."
Three days, Qin Ruqing was embarrassed... That is to say, she was indeed suppressed by her mother for too long.
She cleared her throat, put on a serious face, took out something from the storage bag, and pushed it in front of the ancestor.
In a clear voice, she said solemnly: "This is Qingqing's promise to the ancestor, and now it has been completed by half."
She made three promises to the ancestor: to help the ancestor find the Ice Heart and the Ice and Fire Herbs, and to bring the Qin family back to the East Region. From this point of view, it is not only half completed.
The ancestor's eyes moved to the ten thousand year old cold black ice in front of him. For some reason, it was cut into a round ball, but the cold and mysterious aura coming from it was undoubtedly the Ice Heart. And it was the mature form of the Ice Heart.
The ancestor stroked the ball with his hand and said with a complicated look: "You have a heart."
No matter how this Ice Heart came from, Qingqing's sincerity and filial piety towards her were impeccable and touching.
Qin Ruqing smiled calmly, and without waiting for the ancestor to ask, she asked directly: "Ancestor, do you know how this ice heart came from?"
The ancestor's eyes flashed, a little surprised. In fact, this matter... she didn't intend to ask at all. A favorite of the Heavenly Dao like Ruqingqing, who possesses a Taoist body, must have her own magical powers. This is her opportunity, and also the opportunity of the Qin family.
So the ancestor didn't intend to delve into the reason. The taboo in this is like spying on the intentions of the Heavenly Dao, which is ruining the Qin family's fortune, and it is not a good thing.
However, seeing that Qingqing was willing to explain, the ancestor also showed a serious face and gestured: "You go ahead."
"Ever since Qingqing knew that the elixir that could heal the ancestor's injuries was the Heart of Ice and the Ice and Fire Herbs, she has been thinking about this matter. And not long ago, Qingqing suddenly got a revelation in her dream, which almost clearly pointed out that there was the Heart of Ice in the secret realm, so Qingqing had been wandering around in the secret realm looking for it during that time."
The ancestor frowned seriously, dream... She didn't take this as a joke. Cultivators feel the world and almost never dream. Once they dream, they need to pay special attention.
Before the ancestor could say anything, Qin Ruqing said, "Qingqing has similar strange dreams almost every once in a while."
She described in detail, "Dreams are usually not very clear. There are no specific events. Instead, they are particularly vague and fragmentary, like... like some memory fragments? And at certain critical moments, dreams will give some special revelations. For example, the Heart of Ice that the ancestor needs, and the four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass from before..."
The four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass, was it also done by this girl? The ancestor was shocked for a moment, then sighed in a complicated way: "No wonder the guards couldn't find the three four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum plants in the medicine garden, but you found them..."
Qin Ruqing scratched her head: "That's right. Qingqing got the revelation first that day, so she deliberately dragged her brother to the medicine garden."
The ancestor also smiled, but her expression did not relax, but became unprecedentedly serious. She asked a strange question: "Qingqing, besides these, do you have any other magical characteristics?"
The ancestor used a very subtle word. Not strange, not weird, but, magical.
Qin Ruqing thought for a moment, blankly, and then said, "Qingqing doesn't know what the standard is for miraculous, but there are indeed a few extraordinary things."
She explained one by one, "The ancestor told me before that the state of innate great perfection is very difficult. It is a state that only people in ancient times can achieve. Nowadays, very few people can achieve it, but Qingqing achieved it after only four years of spiritual cultivation."
"The ancestor praised Qingqing for her diligence at that time. Actually, I was embarrassed to say that I didn't spend much effort on this. It was as if, naturally, I achieved innate great perfection... That's one point." Qin Ruqing still looked a little shy, and the ancestor looked at Qin Ruqing with a serious face. The hands holding the cup unconsciously clenched, almost crushing them.
"Secondly, I seem to have some vague sense of the treasures of heaven and earth. However, I can't know the specific location, I can only vaguely know the approximate range... I don't know if this can be considered magical." Qin Ruqing's tone was hesitant and regretful, as if he was dissatisfied with the "lack" of his own ability.
"The last point," Qin Ruqing seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still chose to say it out loud, "The last point, Qingqing was born with innate wisdom. Although she doesn't remember her past life, she has the mind of an adult. My parents have known this for a long time. It's just that they seem to be very cautious and told me not to tell anyone else about it. They said that I am naturally gifted, and if I reveal this to anyone else, it might bring disaster upon myself."
"The three points Qingqing said above are all supported by real examples, and there is absolutely no falsehood!"
After Qin Ruqing finished speaking, she looked at the ancestor, blinking her eyes, as if waiting for the ancestor's instructions.
The ancestor was silent for a long time, because what Qin Ruqing said was too shocking, and she needed to digest and suppress it so that she wouldn't show a gaffe on her face.
After a long while, the old ancestor slowly spoke, but then paused for a moment, as if she was considering her words. After a long while, she stated her conclusion in a very serious tone:
"Qing... you, may be the real reincarnation of a powerful person... or the chosen one."
Qin Ruqing exclaimed, and seemed to be shocked by this sentence. Her first reaction was to disbelieve it: "Grandmaster, those... aren't all legends? I don't think I am anything like... the reincarnation of a powerful person."
The ancestor shook his head seriously: "In this world... there are indeed reincarnations of powerful people. It's not a legend, but there are too few people who have met them. It's even more ethereal than legends, so they are just legends. There is one thing about this, which is almost proven... Do you know how those immortal and gold-grade families are passed down from generation to generation? The most basic requirement for the rank of a family is the continuation of top-level combat power. However, how can realms like Lianxu and Mahayana be continued just like that?"
The ancestor spoke cryptically, but Qin Ruqing had already reacted. She widened her eyes and was truly shocked. "Could it be that those noble families all have..."
The ancestor nodded very carefully, "Not all, but a considerable part of them do. They seem to have a magical secret method that can guide the souls of the ancestors to reincarnate..."
Qin Ruqing did not say anything, as if digesting this shocking news.
The ancestor continued: "I just thought that you had a Taoist body and were favored by the heavens, but looking at the signs now, I'm afraid it's more than that." "The innate
great perfect body that can only be cultivated in ancient legends, you said you cultivated it, and you even used a middle-grade secret method to nourish the soul; and the ability to sense the treasures of heaven and earth is almost a divine skill..."
At this time, Qin Ruqing interrupted, "But the range of sensing is too vague, and it cannot be accurately located!"
Listen to how hateful these words are! The old ancestor was almost so angry that he laughed, "Being able to sense vaguely is already amazing enough. You are still not satisfied with such a gift that is almost God-given? You really don't know how lucky you are!"
The old ancestor sighed and said, "And your innate wisdom... Your parents were right not to let you spread it outside. It is quite taboo to spread this matter out, so I will forget it. From now on, you can't mention it to anyone. Remember it?"
The old ancestor's expression was unprecedentedly serious. Qin Ruqing couldn't help but straighten his back and said seriously that he remembered it.
"Also, do other people know what you told me today?"
Qin Ruqing shook her head quickly: "Grandfather, no one knows except you, not even my parents. Qingqing didn't tell me in such detail. I told you because I trust you and you have broad knowledge and can help me solve my doubts." The ancestor
smiled with relief: "You have always been a smart child."
After a moment, the ancestor looked at a place, as if thinking and hesitating. Qin Ruqing saw that the ancestor was hesitant, and asked in a low voice, "Grandfather?" He looked a little panicked.
The ancestor looked into Qin Ruqing's clear eyes. This child is blessed with a deep source and an amazing origin, but she was born in the Qin family. This is a gift from heaven to the Qin family and an opportunity for the Qin family. If
you confess today, the Qin family will express something.
The old ancestor seemed to have made up his mind, and put on an extremely serious look, saying word by word: "Don't worry, it's the Qin family's blessing to have you. Not to mention that there would be no today, the Qin family would also do its best to support you, not to mention today... Even if the Qin family is in danger in the future, it will be overturned in an instant, and we will do our best to protect you."
The old ancestor's last sentence actually meant very simple: from now on, you are the most important core of the family, and your priority is above everything else.
Qin Ruqing certainly understood it, and she only said one sentence to this: "The old ancestor is also relieved, there is no need to say anything else, just one thing, Qingqing's surname is Qin, and she is a member of the Qin family forever!"
In this way, with today's "frankness", Qin Ruqing and the old ancestor reached a mutual understanding.
Afterwards, the old ancestor explained some things to Qin Ruqing, and then let Qin Ruqing go down the mountain.
Qin Ruqing returned to her room, closed the door, turned around and leaned against it, the corners of her mouth finally curled up secretly.
The effect of today's conversation can be said to be unexpected.
In fact, Qin Ruqing had been thinking about a question a long time ago: If she can find the things the family needs in time, and if she can think of ways to solve the difficulties faced by the family in time, then how will the family view her?
Of course, if only the above situation is achieved, the family will certainly think that this young man is qualified and talented, and worthy of the family's cultivation.
But what if those situations are further qualified, for example - the things she finds for the family and the things she solves for the family have exceeded the current level of the family, then at this time, what will the family think of her?
"This is a weird person, how could he do this under normal circumstances?"
"Are you really a member of our Qin family? Do you have bad intentions..."
If it really comes to that, suspicion, vigilance, and temptation will follow. Feelings will become infinitely thin and fragmented.
Qin Ruqing doesn't want to go to that step. Therefore, how to find a reasonable explanation for the various magical things in herself has become the most important thing at the moment.
Qin Ruqing has been planning to do it consciously or unconsciously. Even when she just came to this world, the system had not appeared, and she herself did not have this thinking, she had subconsciously revealed the characteristics of "smartness".
At that time, that "subconscious" was actually protecting herself.
And now this "conscious" is also protecting herself.
Qin Ruqing would never dare to underestimate the people here. People who cultivate immortality have long life spans and much life experience. Moreover, this is not a peaceful society. How can people who have come out of a harsh class system and various life-and-death crises be easily fooled?
Therefore, Qin Ruqing absolutely dared not make up a lie to fool people.
She couldn't lie, she had to tell the truth. But the results derived from these truths can protect herself and make others feel reasonable-this is Qin Ruqing's purpose.
Qin Ruqing thought of many reasons. Among these reasons, the first one she rejected was "I am carrying a treasure."
I absolutely cannot give others such a feeling!
This is equivalent to a child carrying a large amount of money to the market. He will definitely be targeted by others. Even in the family, such things must not be touched. The human heart cannot stand the test!
Qin Ruqing thought about it and decided that the best direction was to lean towards the mysterious, heavenly way and other things that made people in the world of immortal cultivation in awe, reverence and fear.
So, the term "reincarnation of a powerful being" just jumped into Qin Ruqing's mind.
This thing was not made up by Qin Ruqing. She has lived in this world for so many years, and she is particularly aware that there are often legends of various reincarnations of powerful beings circulating here. In the storybooks, there are countless stories of reincarnations of powerful beings to avenge their revenge.
Then Qin Ruqing thought about herself carefully and found out: Damn, if I didn't know that I had a system, I would have doubted whether I was really the reincarnation of a powerful being.
Traveling through time with memories = innate wisdom = only the reincarnation of a big boss can do this.
The treasure hunting explorer drawn by the system = sensing the natural treasures = this kind of magical skill can only be done by a powerful person.
The things the family needed fell one by one = the favor of heaven, the gathering of luck.
Qin Ruqing felt that if he didn't have a label like "the son of luck" or "the future star of the family", it would be a waste of the system. It's a waste of heaven's gifts!
However, in fact, Qin Ruqing still didn't make up her mind until she saw the behavior of the ancestor - when he was unconscious and didn't communicate with her, he took the initiative to help her cover up the abnormality and took the responsibility.
Qin Ruqing realized that perhaps this incident was the best opportunity. There is a cause and an effect, and it is most suitable to "confess"
. So, there was the carefully polished speech before. Qin Ruqing guaranteed that every word she said would lead the ancestor to think of the reincarnation of a great power - it was too similar!
The ancestor simply couldn't help but think of it! The more people in the world of immortal cultivation, the more they know about this, the easier it is to think of it!
Moreover, 90% of what she said was true. In addition to euphemistically replacing the system factors with "dreams" that are more suitable for the style of the world of immortal cultivation,
even the third sister Lu Wei can say "the cultivator senses the heaven and earth and reveals the cause and effect". The ancestor's perception will only be deeper. And more awed.
The only thing that Qin Ruqing didn't expect was that the one who hit the nail on the head was not herself, but the ancestor.
- There really is a reincarnation of a great power in this world, oh my!
She had always thought it was a legend. Qin Ruqing was really shocked by what the ancestor said about how the immortal and gold-grade families continued to inherit.
The level difference was too great, and she had never heard of it before!
But this news is undoubtedly very beneficial to Qin Ruqing. She had only thought about getting the ancestor to think in this direction, but she didn't expect the ancestor to do it himself.
Therefore, Qin Ruqing's most core goal today can be achieved:
tell the ancestor, tell the Qin family, the Qin family can have today's development, not to mention all, I have at least half of the credit. Only when I am well, the Qin family can be well-I am the greatest hope for the Qin family to rise, return to the East Region, and even reach the peak!
- I can give for the Qin family, but you must protect me and put me first.
- There is gain only when there is sacrifice, and there is gain only when there is effort. I have paid what I should pay, but I have not received what I should have received so far, so should the Qin family express something?
Qin Ruqing was not afraid that the ancestor would think that today's "honesty" was intentional. It should be said that with the wisdom of the ancestor, he would definitely be able to see her "little tricks"
. However, everything she said was the truth. What she wanted was just an attitude from the Qin family.
It was because the ancestor knew this that he made a clear and timely statement: Even if the Qin family is destroyed, you will be saved as much as possible - your priority is above all else.
Qin Ruqing lay on the bed, and only now did she feel a little more at ease in her heart.
Oh, by the way, before she went down the mountain, the last thing the ancestor said to her was:
At the clan meeting three days later, the ancestor would announce the news that the Ice Heart had been found. And he would tell the clan members that the person who found the Ice Heart was her, Qin Ruqing.
