This time, we are not at a disadvantage at all

Qin Deming returned to the courtyard and talked with his wife.

Luo Xian glanced at him and said puzzledly: "Didn't they say that three four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum were found? Isn't this a great thing? Why are you sighing?"

Qin Deming still frowned, as if he had something important to decide. He said without a beginning or an end: "The ancestor asked us how to deal with these three four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum."

How to deal with it? Luo Xian also felt strange, because this question didn't need to be thought about in her opinion. It was not easy to get three four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, of course, to use it to refine the foundation-building pill.

Qin Deming glanced at her, as if he knew what she wanted to say, and added: "The ancestor said that even if she took action, the probability of success in refining would not exceed 50%."

Luo Xian was silent for a moment. If it is no more than 50%, then it would be 30% or 40%... The risk is really high.

Luo Xian tried to say, "Or, we can hire a high-level alchemist..."

Qin Deming immediately shook his head, "The alchemy skills of the ancestor are already top-notch in the entire Nanling County. Where can we find an alchemist with a higher level than the ancestor? Moreover, even if we find one, it is a major event related to the development of the entire family. Can you trust others to do it?"

Luo Xian was silent for a while, and then sighed, "The risk is so great, it is better to store the spiritual medicine in the family treasury, or sell it in exchange for spiritual stones." In this way, the family treasury will be enriched, and Qingqing will have more resources to nourish her spirit.

However, as a mother, she can only think about this in her heart. If she really says it out loud, she will be criticized by others.

Just as Qin Deming was about to speak, there was a strange noise outside the door. Qin Deming frowned immediately, but after a moment of reaction, his brows relaxed and he called out, "Is that Qingqing? Come in." Qin Ruqing poked

her head out of the door, chuckled, and then sat down at the table naturally. "I came here to listen to what my parents were saying."

She made it clear that she was eavesdropping. Qin Deming and his wife also looked at her with a smile on their faces, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.

Qin Deming hesitated for a while, but still followed his own heart and asked: "The four-leaf Ganoderma was discovered by Qingqing. According to Qingqing, what should be done with it?"

Qin Ruqing also said: "Of course, it should be used to refine the foundation-building pill."

Qin Deming repeated the words of the ancestor again. Qin Ruqing was indeed a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "Then Qingqing still thinks that the foundation-building pill should be refined."

This is strange.

Qin Deming asked in confusion: "Why? The success rate of refining the pill is so low. If it fails, these three four-leaf Ganoderma will be wasted."

This opportunity was wasted. It would be almost impossible to get these three four-leaf Ganoderma again in the future.

Qin Ruqing blinked his eyes and said with a straight face: "But, if I hadn't sneaked into the medicine garden today, these three four-leaf Ganoderma Lucidum would never have been discovered."

Qin Deming and his wife were stunned.

"It was originally an accidental acquisition. What's wrong with using the extra stuff to refine the foundation-building pill? The ancestor's words should be understood like this: it's not that we have a more than 50% chance of losing the four-leaf Ganoderma Lucidum, but that our family actually has a nearly 50% chance of getting a foundation-building pill. This is a great thing, no matter how you calculate it, you won't suffer a loss."

The angle proposed by Qin Ruqing was indeed a bit strange, but Qin Deming and his wife frowned and thought about it carefully, and unexpectedly felt: Hey, it actually makes some sense.

Yes, the four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum was originally obtained by accident. Before this, other people had never expected it - they dared not even think about it, and they could not buy it at all.

Since it was an unexpected fortune, using these three four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum to refine the foundation-building pill seemed to be a sure-win deal.

It was because they had previously regarded these three four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum too seriously, almost equating its value with the foundation-building pill, and felt that wasting these three spiritual herbs would also waste the family's opportunity to produce a foundation-building cultivator.

But think about it from another perspective. If these three four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum are not used to refine the foundation-building pill, its value will not be reflected at all, and the final outcome will be nothing more than being placed in the family treasury and covered with dust.

Seeing his parents in deep thought, Qin Ruqing rolled his eyes and said, "Dad should not only persuade the ancestor to start refining the foundation-building pill, but also say that if the pill is successful, Dad is willing to give up the quota for this foundation-building pill and give it to the third aunt."

Ah? Give up the quota for the foundation-building pill and give it to Qin Dexin? ! Such a precious quota for the foundation-building pill is given to someone else for nothing? ?

Qin Deming and his wife looked at Qin Ruqing, who was serious. This time they really couldn't understand it.

--Three

days later, the clan meeting opened on time. The ancestor came in person. After sitting at the top, he glanced at the people below indifferently and said, "Let's start."

As the ancestor said this, the meeting room was very quiet for a while, and no one spoke.

Qin Dexin thought for a moment, since none of you said anything, I will take the responsibility.

She walked a few steps to the center of the hall, bowed, and said loudly: "Ancestor, I think we should use these three four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum to refine the foundation-building pill."

Everyone else looked at Qin Dexin, and they were not surprised by this answer. Because Qin Dexin is the most direct stakeholder of the foundation-building pill.

In the Qin family, except for the great elder, she has the highest cultivation. Moreover, she has one more advantage over the great elder, that is, she is young. If the foundation-building pill is given to her, she may have the possibility of moving up one step in the future. But if it is given to the great elder, the great elder will only be at the foundation-building stage at most.

Therefore, Qin Dexin's support for refining the foundation-building pill was basically within everyone's expectations.

Someone spoke first, and others also expressed their opinions one after another. Except for the great elder, the attitudes of other elders were different.

Some supported it, while others thought the risk was too great and that they should not rush ahead. They should seal the four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum in the clan library and wait until they had more in the future before refining it. This would be much safer.

Finally, it was the turn of the great elder.

The great elder silently glanced in the direction of Qin Dehao. Seeing that his eyes were full of fighting spirit, he knew his attitude. He sighed in his heart, but said calmly: "The chance of success is no more than 50%. The risk is really too high. Why not wait a little longer."

This was the result of their discussion last night.

Originally, according to the great elder, although the candidate for the foundation-building pill was basically between him and Qin Dexin, he knew that he was too old and might not be able to successfully build the foundation even if he got the foundation-building pill, so he wanted to give the opportunity to Qin Dexin.

As a result, Qin Dehao expressed strong opposition.

He said, since the foundation-building pill is being refined, it is most likely to be given to Qin Dexin, and the risk is huge. Why should we support something that does not benefit our second branch at all? It would be better to persuade the ancestor to seal the four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum into the clan treasury and plan for opportunities in the future - maybe his cultivation will surpass Qin Dexin in the future?

The elder is old and has a calm mentality, but he can't resist his adopted son's strong ambition for power. In addition, what Qin Dehao said is not unreasonable, so he finally agreed.

At this time, after the elder finished speaking, Qin Dehao showed a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth, and also stepped forward and said: "Replying to the ancestor, Dehao also agrees with the elder."

After this, Qin Dexin didn't understand that the second branch had agreed to compete with her. She cast a sharp look in the direction of Qin Dehao, and her hand unconsciously touched the sword at her waist.

Her good second brother really deserves to be punished.

Qin Dehao felt this gaze, not afraid at all, and even sneered.

I just want to block your foundation-building process, what can you do to me?

The ancestor looked down, "Most of you think that it is not appropriate to open the furnace to refine the elixir for the time being?" The

ancestor's tone did not change significantly, but the atmosphere in the meeting hall became obviously anxious. This matter is not easy to decide, involving family disputes, and the other elders kept silent and did not dare to speak.

At this moment, Qin Deming stood up abruptly.

"Replying to the ancestor, I think we should open the furnace to refine the elixir."

The ancestor said, "Oh," and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Why?"

Qin Deming lowered his eyes slightly, and said seriously: "These three four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum herbs were accidentally discovered by my son Qingqing in the medicine garden." He deliberately emphasized the words "my son Qingqing".

"Since it is an unexpected gain, it is just right to use it to refine the foundation-building elixir. Even if it fails, the Qin family will not suffer much loss. After all, it did not spend many spirit stones on it. Why not?"

What a good reason.

Anyone can hear Qin Deming's hidden message:

these three herbs were accidentally discovered by "my son Qingqing" - they were not discovered by you, why are you arguing here, my family should have the absolute right to speak.

——Besides, the Qin family didn't pay any price, and they are talking about risks here, what risks are there? It's obviously picked up for nothing.

Qin Deming's angle was really strange, and even Qin Dehao, who always liked to talk back to him, choked. He looked at Qin Deming in surprise, and for the first time found that this old turtle could be so shameless.

It was your Qingqing who found it, and it was also found in the Qin family's medicine garden, and it belonged to the Qin family. Why, you want to take credit for it now?

Qin Dehao sneered and immediately mocked: "How come according to big brother's idea, not only should the furnace be opened to refine the pill, but this foundation-building pill should also be distributed to the eldest house, right? After all, it was your Qingqing who found it."

He also deliberately added emphasis to "your Qingqing", and the mockery was about to come out.

Qin Deming looked at him with disdain. For the first time, he did not quarrel with Qin Dehao in the hall. Instead, he calmly said to the ancestor: "Answering the ancestor, Deming believes that not only should the furnace be opened to refine the elixir, but if the elixir is successful, this foundation-building elixir should be given to Qin Dexin."

This time, even the ancestor looked at Qin Deming with some surprise.

"Oh? Why? What you said before also makes some sense. These three four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum were discovered by your daughter, and she is indeed meritorious. You can also compete for the foundation-building elixir with this. Why give up?" At

this moment, Qin Deming scratched his head as if he was a little embarrassed, and said: "I am only at the ninth level of Qi training now. After careful calculation, it is not perfect. If I take the foundation-building elixir rashly, the probability of successfully building the foundation is not high. It is better to give the opportunity to Tian. De Xin, the most gifted and youngest. She has obtained the foundation-building pill, so she will definitely have a higher probability of success. In this way, my Qin family will be able to add another powerful general. "

The ancestor was also amused by his "honesty": "Are you really going to give this opportunity to Qin De Xin?"

Qin Deming's expression changed, and he said in a shocking voice: "I am the head of the clan, and I should consider the overall situation and the development of the entire Qin family."

What a noble and upright clan leader who cares about the overall situation!

Not everyone thinks that this is his true words. However, what he said is so that no one can find fault with it. Can you say he is wrong? What he gave up is real benefits - that is the opportunity to build a foundation. Once the foundation is built, it can be considered as truly out of the mortal body, and it is a "god" in the eyes of mortals.

Therefore, many elders praised Qin Deming in their hearts, thinking that they had underestimated their clan leader in the past. Although the clan leader has a peaceful character (cowardly), he has a big picture view and really cares about the Qin family, which is not bad.

The only one with a black face in the hall was Qin Dehao. He didn't believe that this was Qin Deming's true words at all. He just felt that he knew that he was not very competitive and had always been at odds with him, so he deliberately supported the third branch. He couldn't help but hate him even more.

The ancestor, on the other hand, became more cheerful. She asked, "What do you say?"

The change in her expression was obvious. Everyone figured out that the ancestor's attitude was also in favor of refining the elixir. The ancestor's attitude should be taken into consideration. Besides, what the clan leader just said was really hard to object to.

——How to object? He was thinking from the overall situation and the future of the Qin family. Those who opposed him were not thinking from the overall situation and the future of the Qin family.

So the other elders also responded: "The clan leader has a good opinion!"

"The clan leader is right, hehe."

The corners of the old ancestor's mouth curled up, "Since you are in the majority, then this matter is settled."

"As for the candidate for the foundation-building pill-" She looked down at Qin Dexin, who was wearing a red dress, and said with satisfaction: "It will be Qin Dexin."

Qin Dexin's face finally lost its calmness, and she said excitedly: "Thank you, old ancestor!"

After the old ancestor set the date for refining the pill, the clan meeting finally ended. When everyone dispersed, Qin Dexin deliberately fell behind, as if waiting for someone.

Sure enough, when Qin Deming passed by her, she took the initiative to say: "Although I am a little surprised that you support me, no matter what, I will remember this favor today."

Qin Deming sighed: "Hey, you... don't have to thank me." If you want to thank someone, thank Qingqing.

He swallowed the latter sentence in time.

Of course, he was also jealous of the opportunity to build a foundation. Although he knew that he was not very competitive, he was still hesitant to make up his mind. It was Qingqing's words that woke him up.

She said bluntly at the time: "Dad, don't you know your own business? Our strength is the lowest among the candidates. If we compete, we will probably be making things difficult for others and may even be hated by others."

"Third aunt has the strongest talent. If you take the initiative to give in and speak for her, she will definitely remember this kindness and get closer to the first wife. By then, even if the first wife has not established a foundation, her position will be stable."

"Daddy, this time, we are not at a disadvantage at all!"

Now looking at Dexin's hesitant expression and gentle eyes - his good sister has never been so kind to him.

Qin Deming was proud and a little bit subtle in his heart: It seems that Qingqing is right, this time, tsk, they really are not at a disadvantage!
