Chapter 10 – Chapter 10: Fairy Mine Vein? Talking About Marriage?_1
“Buying things from sect disciples and then selling them…” Qin Changqing pondered for a moment, “That’s a good idea, but what if the sect finds out?”
Lian Caini chuckled, “Brother Qin, don’t worry. This is normal trading, and the sect won’t forbid it.”
“Well, that’s fine.”
“If Brother Qin trusts me, I can find some experienced people from the Lian Family to help you set up the commerce association.”
Qin Changqing’s eyes lit up, “That would be great!”
Three days later.
Qin Family Commerce officially opened for business.
Qin Changqing personally attended the grand opening ceremony and named the commerce association – Feiyun Commerce.
Surprisingly, quite a lot of people came to shop at the commerce association.
Once the loose cultivators heard that it was opened by a Lingxiao Sect disciple, they immediately felt at ease.
Compared to other unknown commerce associations, the reputation of the Lingxiao Sect was naturally more appealing.
So, in just a few days, almost all of Qin Changqing’s inventory was sold out.
He hurried back to the sect and bought a lot of elixir materials from Xuanyi Peak. Then, he stocked up Feiyun Commerce again. The profit margin was at least 30%, and some rare items had even a 50% profit margin.
This made Qin Changqing quite emotional. He never thought he would walk the path of a capitalist one day.
However, Qin Changqing didn’t want to be too involved in the business. The few people Lian Caini brought over were quite good, practical, and hardworking. He felt at ease leaving the business to them.
Of course, these were the foundations of the Qin family’s development, and they would eventually be handed over to his descendants to manage.
“Brother Qin, you can actually go to the Xianfeng Ridge market and have a look. There are often many interesting things on sale there. Even if you don’t buy anything, it’s good to broaden your horizons. Many loose cultivators in Yinxu Prefecture like to go there.”
Lian Caini suggested.
“Xianfeng Ridge?” Qin Changqing remembered that Jin Hong had also suggested it before, but he advised him to find a Taoist couple among the loose cultivators at the market, “When is the next market?”
“In two years.”
“Two years?”
Qin Changqing pondered for a moment.
Su Xiaoyue would give birth in less than six months, while Xi’er still had more than nine months left.
There was still time.
“We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”
The third child of Su Xiaoyue was a daughter.
Although she could practice cultivation, her Spiritual Root was still somewhat lacking, similar to Qin Changqing’s, making it impossible to reach Foundation Establishment in a lifetime of normal cultivation.
Xi’er also gave birth to a daughter, but surprisingly, she had a Tier 9 Superior Spiritual Root, which was a huge stroke of luck.
The two children brought Qin Changqing’s aptitude up to Tier 9 Mid-level, and his cultivation level had reached the peak of the seventh layer.
“Big Brother, our child also has a Spiritual Root!” Xi’er said with a beaming face.
Su Xiaoyue was very happy for Xi’er as she knew Xi’er had always been concerned about this.
Since she was a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect herself, she naturally hoped that her offspring would also have a Spiritual Root and be able to cultivate.
Qin Changqing laughed heartily, “It’s good whether they have it or not. They are all our children.”
“Yes.” Xi’er was extremely content.
Marrying Qin Changqing and enjoying a worldly life was much better than the dull and hopeless cultivation on the mountain.
However, she was a little puzzled, feeling that Qin Changqing’s aura was getting stronger and even more powerful than her own.
There was also the Youth Retaining Pill.
In a sense, it was comparable to Tier 7 or even Tier 6 elixirs.
Because there were very few people who could refine it, the price was still quite expensive despite the low cost.
But Qin Changqing had cautioned her not to talk about these things to others.
Xi’er was very considerate.
“Big Brother, let’s have more children in the future.”
She seemed to have experienced the joy of being a woman.
“Alright, let’s have more!”
Su Xiaoyue thought to herself, in the beginning, I also had the same mindset. Sister Xi’er, you’ll probably be troubled later on.
On the other side.
At the Lian Family in Heiyu Town.
Inside the main hall, several high-ranking members of the family gathered.
Everyone was silent, and their faces were quite unsightly.
The head of the Lian Family looked around and said solemnly, “Everyone knows the situation of our family now that the Fairy Mine has been taken away by Yunqing Town. Let’s talk about what to do.”The elders looked at each other.
“Patriarch, why not… ask Qin Daoist to give it a try? He is a disciple of a Lingxiao Sect elder, isn’t he? If he steps in, the Jin Family should not dare to be too blatant.” Someone said.
“Although Qin Daoist is a disciple of an elder, after all, he was banished to the secular world…”
“There is no need to worry about that. According to Caini, he can freely travel to and from the Lingxiao Sect. What ordinary banished person would have such privilege? The only thing to fear is that Qin Daoist might not be willing to help.”
These people knew some of the rules of the Lingxiao Sect.
Ordinarily, banished disciples could not freely enter and exit the sect.
It was obvious that Qin Changqing had some special privileges.
At this moment, someone suddenly mentioned: “I remember that Caini has a good relationship with him, right?”
Qin Changqing sat in the courtyard, holding his little daughter and basking in the sun.
The weather was nice today, the sunlight was just right and very mild.
Upstairs, Su Xiaoyue finished her cultivation practice and played a tune on her zither.
Xi’er walked out of the room and couldn’t help but smile when she saw Qin Changqing playing with his daughter.
“Eldest Brother, Xiaotong is not even two months old, she can’t call you ‘Father’ just yet.”
The little girl’s name was Qin Xiaotong.
Qin Changqing laughed, “You never know, our daughter could be a genius.”
Xi’er daydreamed: “We should send her up the mountain when she’s ten years old.”
Ten years old was the age limit for Lingxiao Sect to recruit disciples.
Too young and their bones would not have developed well, and their bodies couldn’t withstand the strong Spiritual Qi needed for cultivation.
Too old, and they would miss the best time for cultivation, so the Lingxiao Sect recruited disciples between the ages of 10 and 16.
Of course, exceptional cases were treated differently.
However, a Tier 9 Superior Spiritual Root was still too inferior for the Lingxiao Sect. They could only stay in the outer sect and would eventually be banished to the secular world.
Such was the ruthlessness of the cultivation world.
At this moment, the housekeeper came over and said, “Master, the Lian Family’s Patriarch has arrived.”
Qin Changqing was somewhat surprised.
What did the people from the Lian Family want?
“Bring him in.”
Lian Qingya entered the Qin Mansion.
When he saw Qin Changqing, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
In fact, he had not seen Qin Changqing for two years, and his impression of him remained from the initial time he came down the mountain.
He only remembered that Qin Changqing’s cultivation was ‘shallow’ back then, and that it was his status as a disciple of an elder that made their family forces wary of him.
A few years had passed now, and he could no longer see through Qin Changqing.
He just felt, the handsome young man in front of him had an indescribable sense of composure.
“Greetings, Qin Daoyou.”
Lian Qingya cupped his hands before Qin Changqing.
Qin Changqing smiled lightly, “No need for formalities, Patriarch Lian. We are friends, just sit down and talk.”
He asked a servant to pour a cup of tea.
Upstairs, Su Xiaoyue stopped playing the zither and sat down together with Xi’er, curiously eavesdropping.
“What is the Lian Family’s Patriarch doing in our home?” Xi’er did not know much about the Lian Family and was very curious.
Su Xiaoyue said: “I heard from my father that the Lian Family has lost their Fairy Mine, and they have been having a hard time these past two years.”
“The Lian Family’s Fairy Mine? Isn’t Sister Lian Caini there? Can’t she hold it?”
Xi’er was familiar with Lian Caini, and the two had similar cultivation levels, often practicing their sword techniques together.
However, she had been making great progress in her cultivation since her last breakthrough in her spiritual root, and was now not far from reaching the 7th level of Cultivating Qi.
As for Su Xiaoyue, she had only reached the 2nd level of Cultivating Qi.
“It seems that the Lian Family wants my eldest brother to help them take control of the Fairy Mine.” Xi’er thought she had grasped the key point.
However, Su Xiaoyue shook her head.
“No?”
“I think…” Su Xiaoyue pursed her lips, “it looks more like they have come to talk about marriage.”
As she spoke, she looked towards the entrance of the Qin Mansion, and saw the housekeeper leading another person in under the direction of the Lian Family Patriarch.
That person was none other than Lian Caini’s father.
