Qin Changqing looked at this scene with satisfaction.
Well, the backyard didn’t catch fire.

After Mu Xiaoxiao joined the Qin family, Qin Changqing’s cultivation finally broke through to the Tier 7 Foundation Establishment.
During this time, his few children also got married one after another.
Qin family believed that they could truly walk the path of growth and expansion soon.
Two days later, Qin Changqing took Qin Wushuang and Liu Siqi back to the Lingxiao Sect.
Liu Siqi came to complete a mission while Qin Wushuang, who hadn’t been back for a long time, wanted to visit his cave dwelling and get some things.
Qin Changqing went straight to Xuanyi Peak to find MO Jiuzhou.
“So you remember to come back, huh?” MO Jiuzhou immediately scolded him when they met, “Such a big event happened in the Tiankui Mountain Range, and you didn’t even come back to report it. Poor me had to go and ask other people about it. Have you forgotten about your master, me!?”
MO Jiuzhou was angry, puffing out his beard and staring wide-eyed, but as soon as Qin Changqing took out the brocade chicken and the Qin family’s special fine wine he had brought with him, he immediately started laughing.
Half an hour later, master and disciple were sitting in the yard, gnawing on chicken and drinking fine wine.
“Old man, what’s your real cultivation?” Qin Changqing asked.
“Me?” MO Jiuzhou casually replied, “Nascent Soul.”
“You, Nascent Soul, my ass!”
“How can you curse like that?”
“Fine, I won’t ask.” Qin Changqing pouted, guessing there might be some unspeakable secret that the old man couldn’t reveal. People with high cultivation usually had some special experiences, “When you want to tell me, I’ll bring another jar of good wine up the mountain.”
MO Jiuzhou glanced at him, finished gnawing off the meat from his hand with a few snaps, and then asked, “Do you want to marry that Demon Saintess?”
Qin Changqing was taken aback: “Who told you that?” “You don’t need to know, just tell me if you want to or not.”
“Well…”
“Stop dilly-dallying! If you want to, just say it; if you don’t, just say you don’t!”
Qin Changqing decided to lay his cards on the table: “Of course I want to, but she wants me to go to the Huntian Sect to propose marriage, and I dare not.”
MO Jiuzhou grinned: “If you want to, I’ll go with you.”
Qin Changqing was dumbfounded.
“Old man, are you alright? She’s the Huntian Sect’s Saintess. What would happen to Lingxiao Sect’s reputation if this gets out? The Sect Leader will kick you off the mountain.”
“Humph! You’re still as naive as I was back then.” MO Jiuzhou snorted disdainfully, suddenly appearing domineering, “In the world of cultivation, there’s no clear distinction between good and evil. It’s just deliberately created by some ulterior-minded people. How can there be a righteous path or a demonic path? Mostly, it’s just people’s hearts playing tricks. As long as you have strength, you can turn white into black; if you don’t have strength, you can only resign to fate!”
Qin Changqing fell silent.
He never expected that the old man’s thoughts would be so thorough.
Indeed, in the cultivation world, power is supreme. The so-called righteous and evil paths are nothing more than disputes between different forces and different ideologies. The Huntian Sect, for example, doesn’t care whether you call them evil or demonic.
Qin Changqing also believed so. He had seen many evil acts committed by righteous cultivators and didn’t know much about the demonic path, but at least Si Hongyue was not the kind of evil person who killed others indiscriminately and used them as sacrifices.
Now hearing MO Jiuzhou’s words, Qin Changqing was surprised by the old man’s daring to go to the Huntian Sect with him to propose marriage. Are you sure you’re a Nascent Soul cultivator? If you’re really a Nascent Soul, I’ll shit upside down!
However, Qin Changqing still declined the old man’s proposal. His current cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment level, while Si Hongyue’s true strength was probably at the Late Golden Elixir stage. After obtaining the Star Demon Order, advancing to the Nascent Soul stage was just within reach.Comparatively, even if he really became a Daoist couple, the situation would be beyond his control.
“Let’s wait until I reach the Nascent Soul stage,” said Qin Changqing.
“Nascent Soul? You’ve got quite the imagination,” MO Jiuzhou chuckled. “But it’s true that you can’t conquer such a woman without some strength. I can’t be watching you enter the bridal chamber with her, can I?” “Are you afraid that I’ll last too long, making you feel inferior?”
“I’m afraid you won’t be able to defeat her in bed and lose face.”
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this for now. What you need to pay attention to recently is the actions of the Dayan Dynasty.”
“Dayan Dynasty, what’s up with them?”
“It’s nothing serious. The Immortal Ascension Conference is approaching, and they’re afraid the Lingxiao Sect will be promoted to Fourth Grade, so they’re planning some small moves.”
How could the Lingxiao Sect not know about the actions of the Dayan Dynasty?
It could even be said that they had been on guard against this for a long time.
This time, the Immortal Ascension Conference is crucial. It’s crucial that Liu Mengxian does everything flawlessly in all aspects.
Otherwise, if there’s any discrepancy, that opportunity will likely turn into a disaster.
After all, there’s only so much space in the world, and no one wants to see others rise to prominence.
After hearing this, Qin Changqing understood why the Gongsun Family started trouble suddenly this must have been the City Lord’s order. His identity was unique, and he stirred up a lot of trouble in Yinxu Prefecture. It was normal for the City Lord to target him.
And the City Lord must have received orders from above.
After the Gongsun Family suffered a loss this time, they probably won’t give up easily afterwards.
Fortunately, he had set up an array formation, and the array talisman was now in Su Xiaoyue’s possession. As soon as something happened, the great array would be activated immediately, ensuring the safety of the Qin family.
It’s just that he himself needs to be more careful in the future.
“By the way, old man, take this for me.” Qin Changqing took out the Blood Coral King.
MO Jiuzhou glanced at it and pointed to a spiritual garden in the courtyard, casually saying, “Put it in there.”
Qin Changqing widened his eyes: “This is the Blood Coral King, it’s invaluable!”
“Oh.” MO Jiuzhou responded, “Put it in there.” “You know about this thing?”
“Your second junior sister came back once.”
see.”
Qin Changqing nodded, fully opened the box, and placed the Blood Coral King into the spiritual garden.
Unexpectedly, it didn’t run away but instead took root in the garden.
After the Blood Coral King entered, the entire spiritual garden underwent a transformation, and the other spiritual herbs planted around it began to grow rapidly. In a short while, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the spiritual garden doubled.
It’s no wonder it’s the Blood Coral King!
Then, Qin Changqing became curious. The old man seemed not to care about this precious thing.
“Your second junior sister.” MO Jiuzhou suddenly opened his mouth, saying, “If you really want to help her, speed up your cultivation. You’ll have a slim chance only if you reach the Golden Elixir stage within twenty years.”
Qin Changqing raised an eyebrow: “What happens twenty years from now?”
“Xuwang Mountain, the Heavenly Stairs.” MO Jiuzhou closed his eyes. “Only those at the Golden Elixir stage are qualified to ascend. If all goes well, your second junior sister will enter the Nascent Soul stage there. But that path is not easy; one step to the heavens, one step to the abyss.”
“Heavenly Stairs? Are they formidable?”
“Most of the young generation in Tianchuan State will go there. What do you think?”
Qin Changqing gave the old man a deep look.
“I understand.”
After leaving Xuanyi Peak, Qin Changqing went to the Hall of Merits to settle the accounts for this incident.
The rewards for his duties should have been distributed by the Outer Sect Elder, but this time was special. Mu Yuntao and the others were generous enough to give him most of the credit, including the merit of killing the Huntian Sect’s Golden Elixir Elders.
With all these merits added up, the Qin family could last for a while longer..
