The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 43: Qin Wumei (Seeking to Continue Reading and Collecting)

Afterward, Qin Ping intentionally asked Chen Ling about some details of refining tools.

Chen Ling also responded one by one.

Qin Ping felt slightly surprised in his heart. Chen Ling's level of refining tools was higher than he had expected. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly changed the topic, "I wonder if Chen Keqing still plans to marry?"

Chen Ling was taken aback by the question. Qin Ping's thinking was a bit difficult for him to keep up with. He smiled and replied, "I know that my talent is dull, and I have no hope of reaching Foundation Building in this lifetime, so I choose to enjoy the blessings of an ordinary person!"

Qin Ping nodded and said with a smile, "Chen Keqing, you're overthinking!"

He already knew Chen Ling's answer in his heart.

After Qin Ye Lian, who was just a collateral descendant, was completely won over, it would still require greater capital.

Seeing that Qin Ping had no intention of saying more, Chen Ling and his wife bid farewell and left.

Leaving the hall, Chen Ling let out a sigh of relief.

He felt relaxed all over.

Although Qin Ping had always been pleasant, he felt a lot of pressure.

Not at all relaxed.

He even suspected that if he hadn't agreed to Qin Ping taking over the Spirit Medicine Garden just now, Qin Ping might have turned against him!

But the result was smooth, which was somewhat unexpected.

Not only did he persuade Qin Ping to accept his choice, but he also obtained the "Foundation of Spiritual Prohibition" and even the possibility of including the Qin family's Spirit Medicine Garden.

It had to be said that the Qin family's main branch treated him, the son-in-law of the Qin family, quite well!

But, as Qin Ping said.

Next, the Jinshanfang market might face a big chaos, and he needed to be better prepared!

Having abundant resources without sufficient strength was like a child holding gold in a bustling market, very dangerous!

"Greetings, Fifth Miss!"

While Chen Ling was contemplating, Qin Yelian bowed to a female cultivator who was approaching.

Chen Ling looked up and saw that the female cultivator appeared to be in her twenties, wearing a moon-white robe with green lotus leaf embroidery on the hem. She had a tall and graceful figure, plain features, clear and bright eyes, and could be described as extremely beautiful.

As she walked, she exuded a tranquil and pure temperament, like a flawless piece of jade.

She had a charm that could instantly captivate men!

"Miss Yelian, didn't you just come yesterday? Why are you here again today?"

The female cultivator saw Qin Yelian and pretended to be mature, slowly speaking.

"Qin Wumei, you're so young?"

Chen Ling was taken aback. The person in front of him was Qin Wumei, who refined the Dual Dan Combined Qi Pill!

In his impression, a cultivator who could refine the Dual Dan Combined Qi Pill should be at least in their forties, and Qin Yelian had always called her "little sister."

But he didn't expect Qin Wumei to be so young!

Of course, measuring a cultivator's age by appearance was meaningless.

Sometimes, some high-level female cultivators who looked beautiful and charming might have already lived for over a hundred years.

"In response to Fifth Miss, the Patriarch invited my husband to come over! I came with him!"

Qin Yelian looked at Chen Ling and respectfully said.

"Chen Ling pays his respects to Fifth Miss!" Chen Ling also bowed.

Qin Wumei nodded politely after hearing this, then walked towards the hall.

Watching Qin Wumei enter the hall, Chen Ling couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Fifth Miss looks very young!"

Qin Yelian smiled and said, "The young miss is even younger than me. We are considered to be from the same generation in the family, and she takes care of me quite a bit in normal times."

Chen Ling was not concerned about Qin Wumei's real age. He was worried that if Qin Wumei also went to the Wang family's market.

In the future, it will be quite troublesome to purchase Heqi Pills!

However, there is no other way. We'll think of a solution when the time comes.

The two of them then left the Qin family.

······.

"Third brother, these are the pills I refined in the past few days."

"Now, most of the spiritual medicines in the Spirit Medicine Garden are between ten and twenty years old. If we leave now, all these spiritual medicines will go to waste. I want to stay here and manage the Spirit Medicine Garden."

In the Qin family hall, Qin Wu Mei's gentle and worried face expressed her concerns.

Hearing Qin Wu Mei's request, Qin Ping also found himself in a dilemma. After thinking for a moment, he earnestly said, "Wu Mei, with the fall of the Wang family's ancestor and the decline of their strength, the other Gold Core families will definitely not miss this opportunity. They will surely seize most of the Wang family's assets."

"And with Wang Zhong's resolute character, he will definitely not surrender easily. So, intense battles are inevitable, and this area will no longer be safe."

"That's why I want to relocate our clan to the Wang family's market."

"Although we will lose our foundation here, we can save the lives of most of our clan members."

Qin Wu Mei decisively said, "Third brother, rest assured. I'm not that delicate. The Spirit Medicine Garden is crucial to the Qin family and must not be abandoned!"

She was not someone who could be easily swayed.

Moreover, there was also a defensive formation.

Qin Ping's gaze shifted, and he did not immediately respond. Suddenly, he asked, "Wu Mei, did you see Chen Keqing just now?"

"I had a discussion with him about refining techniques. I have been immersed in the field of refining for many years, but I feel inferior in the field of magical artifacts."

"Just from his understanding of refining, I can tell that his spiritual consciousness is far purer than that of an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator at the sixth level."

"Besides innate talent, a strong spiritual consciousness is also crucial for Foundation Building. This young man is not as weak as the rumors suggest."

"I estimate that he has a high possibility of successfully achieving Foundation Building in the future."

"In the past, it was short-sighted of us not to marry one of our direct lineage women to him."

Qin Wu Mei was slightly stunned upon hearing this. She didn't pay much attention to Chen Ling when she saw him just now.

But to receive such praise from Qin Ping, who was always proud and arrogant, was rare.

"Third brother, Foundation Building is not that easy! The Qin family has many resources, but in these years, we have only had two people achieve Foundation Building!"

Qin Wu Mei disagreed with Qin Ping's statement.

Not to mention that Chen Ling has a four-element mixed spiritual root, even a lower-grade spiritual root cultivator would never be able to break through the Qi Refining realm in their entire life.

Qin Ping turned the teacup in his hand, pondered for a moment, and smiled as he said, "Whether this young man can achieve Foundation Building is uncertain, but his level of refining is indeed not low. I think I will find another direct lineage woman from the clan to recruit him into the Qin family."

Times have changed.

With the fall of the Wang family's ancestor and his own injuries from killing a second-rank demonic beast years ago, which still hadn't healed, his cultivation had stagnated.

Although Qin Wu Mei was also in the early stage of Foundation Building, she was not good at fighting.

The family could be said to be in a difficult situation.

And in order to avoid the upcoming market dispute, they had to relocate the entire clan to the dangerous area near the Yunmeng Swamp.

They would have to abandon the spiritual land and most of the assets in this area, causing a great loss.

Especially the Spirit Medicine Garden they had invested decades in, whether they could preserve it was still uncertain.

If they couldn't, it would be an even greater blow to the Qin family.

It would be very difficult for them to turn things around in the future.

Chen Ling's appearance undoubtedly gave him a lifeline.

That was why he was willing to spend a lot of resources to recruit him into the Qin family.

"Is he really that important?" Qin Wu Mei furrowed her eyebrows upon hearing this. She was also a first-class alchemist and a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Building. Could she really not compare to Chen Ling, who was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining?

Qin Ping nodded, his gaze slightly focused. However, he found it difficult to find a suitable woman from the clan to match Chen Ling.
