Chapter 16

The Qin Yan Hou Fu might suddenly have three people with spiritual roots; no one could be happier than the Old Qin Yan Hou.

"I cannot tell the grade of this Spirit-Condensing Pill; perhaps it is because Qin Bi has just come into contact with medicinal pills." The Old Qin Yan Hou said impatiently: "Take it quickly; it is not easy to obtain three Spirit-Condensing Pills."

Qin Di hesitated for a moment and looked at Qin Tang. The two took the Spirit-Condensing Pill. There were many uncertainties in stimulating spiritual roots; therefore, taking the Spirit-Condensing Pill in the Old Qin Yan Hou's courtyard was the best.

The Qin Yan Hou then hurried over, worried that there might be a mishap while stimulating the spiritual roots.

The Old Qin Yan Hou saw his eldest son had arrived and ordered: "Go take the spirit plants from the study; if it's not enough, you can ask the Second Branch."

If there were any errors in stimulating spiritual roots, spirit plants could play an auxiliary role.

The Old Qin Yan Hou had only saved up a dozen or so spirit plants in total, and the Qin Yan Hou did not mind his own brothers using them.

However, the Qin Yan Hou hesitated: "Second Brother is easy to talk to, but I fear Qin He will not agree to give the spirit plants."

Qin He had weight in the Second Branch, and the resources of the Second Branch were almost all given by Qin He. He Yan and the Xue Heir Apparent would send Qin He various resources from time to time, and after picking what was left, Qin He would give them to the Second Branch.

The Old Qin Yan Hou pondered: "Go ask; if your Second Brother doesn't give them, then so be it."

At this time, Qin Yan also heard the news and hurried over. The Qin Yan Hou went to the study to take the spirit plants the Old Marquis had saved. Coming out and seeing Qin Yan, he sent him on an errand: "Go to my study, take the spirit plants I have saved, and on the way, go to your Second He He Bo Fu's courtyard and ask him for spirit plants to help your Fourth He He Bo Fu and Qin Tang stimulate their spiritual roots."

Qin Yan did not dare to delay and hurried away.

In the Third Branch's courtyard, Qin Lang had finished tidying up and was just about to go out to play with a few childhood friends. Qin Bi did not go directly to find Third He He Bo Fu and Third Aunt, but first came to Qin Lang's courtyard.

"Jiejie, you're back?" Qin Lang said with surprise and enthusiasm.

If one were to ask who in the entire Marquis Manor thought of Qin Bi, it would only be the people of the Fourth and Third Branches.

Qin Bi wanted to cry again, which was uncalled for. She was so annoyed. She composed herself and did not beat around the bush, taking out that Spirit-Condensing Pill. Before Qin Bi could even speak, Qin Lang's eyes widened sharply.

"A Spirit-Condensing Pill?" Qin Lang knew his goods.

Qin Lang's eyes shone; if this Spirit-Condensing Pill had not been Qin Bi's, Qin Lang would have tried to snatch it by now.

"This Spirit-Condensing Pill was refined while I was making things for the child to eat. I refined three in total, and we kept two in the Fourth Branch." Qin Bi explained and said: "I intend to give this one to your Third Branch. I came to tell you, and then I will go find Third He He Bo Fu and Third Aunt. If you want to stimulate your spiritual roots, come with me to see Third He He Bo Fu."

This world cultivated immortality and was a fictional world, but it was ancient.

The Qin Yan Hou brothers all had wives and concubines and had also given birth to concubine-born sons and daughters. With many children, there were different preferences. Qin Bi worried that if she gave the Spirit-Condensing Pill to Third He He Bo Fu, Third He He Bo Fu would turn around and give it to other children.

Calling Qin Lang to go along would depend on Qin Lang's ability.

As a legitimate son of the Third Branch, if he could not compete with the concubine-born sons and daughters, then it was better not to stimulate his spiritual roots.

Qin Lang was very clever and immediately said: "Let's go; I will go with you to see my father."

He did not forget to send a servant to report to Qin Tan and Zhu Shi first, saying that Qin Bi had come. The servant ran to the study and told Qin Tan, and Qin Tan left the study and went to the main room to see Qin Bi together with Zhu Shi.

Afterward, Qin Bi and Qin Lang arrived, and Qin Lang entered the room and cleared out the servants.

Qin Tan narrowed his eyes, and Qin Bi took out the Spirit-Condensing Pill for her Third He He Bo Fu, Qin Tan. Qin Tan had been sitting and holding a teacup, and before he could even drink, he suddenly stood up excitedly.

"A Spirit-Condensing Pill?" Qin Tan asked: "Where did it come from?"

Zhu Shi's expression also changed. Qin Lang had no spiritual roots, and a Spirit-Condensing Pill could stimulate them.

Qin Bi briefly explained the situation of the refining again. Qin Tan took the Spirit-Condensing Pill, and Qin Bi said: "There were three in total; this Spirit-Condensing Pill is for the Third Branch. My father and eldest brother have gone to Grandfather's courtyard."

Zhu Shi and her son both stared at the Spirit-Condensing Pill. Qin Tan took another look at his niece, Qin Bi; she had quite a few tricks up her sleeve, calling Qin Lang along when giving something to the Third Branch—this was because she was worried he would give it to other children.

Never mind, Qin Tan handed the Spirit-Condensing Pill to Qin Lang: "Your cousin gave it to you; take it."

Zhu Shi showed a look of joy, and Qin Lang happily and carefully took the Spirit-Condensing Pill. Qin Tan said: "Let's go to your grandfather's courtyard to stimulate your spiritual roots together with your Fourth He He Bo Fu and cousin."

Zhu Shi was not at ease and called Qin Bi to go to the Old Marquis's courtyard together.

At this time, Qin Di and his son had not used the spirit plants at all. After taking the Spirit-Condensing Pill, their bodies felt warm, and in less than half an hour, they had stimulated their spiritual roots. The Old Qin Yan Hou was astonished.

When Qin Tan and Qin Lang arrived, Qin Tan spoke to the Old Marquis, and Qin Lang took the Spirit-Condensing Pill after Qin Di and his son. The Old Qin Yan Hou and the Qin Yan Hou felt much more at ease.

Qin Lang stimulated his spiritual roots very quickly; it took only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to stimulate them.

Now the Qin Yan Hou was also surprised; the effect of this Spirit-Condensing Pill was too good. Just now, he could not even tell what grade of medicinal pill it was, but he did not expect the effect to be so good. Just seeing that the spiritual roots were stimulated was not enough, so the Qin Yan Hou took out a testing stone.

"Test the spiritual roots," the Old Qin Yan Hou ordered.

Qin Di tested first; he had spiritual roots, but his talent was very low, as was Qin Tang's. Even though the talent was very low, Qin Di and his son's eyes turned red; without spiritual roots, they were like ants, but from now on, they would also have spiritual roots.

"Qin Lang, you go test too," the Qin Yan Hou said.

Qin Lang looked at his father, Qin Tan, and Qin Tan nodded. Qin Lang placed his hand on the testing stone, and the testing stone emitted a faint halo; his talent was slightly stronger than that of Qin Di and his son.

"I have spiritual roots." Qin Lang cried directly, wiping away his tears.

"My son has spiritual roots." Zhu Shi also covered her face with a handkerchief, weeping with joy.

Qin Bi felt uncomfortable as well, her eyes moist, and she wiped away her tears.

In the courtyard, everyone was full of smiles. Zhu Shi and Qin Lang soon stopped crying and started laughing, the stifling feeling in their hearts dissipating.

Qin Lang was young and leaned toward Qin Di and Qin Tang to talk about going to the Beast Realm's small space for training: "I have wanted to go for a long time. Now that I have spiritual roots, I must go to the Beast Realm's small space even more."

Qin Tang had the same thought as Qin Lang and nodded: "We must go."

The Old Qin Yan Hou was now in a good mood. Hearing the juniors talk about going to the Beast Realm's small space, he said: "Wait until your eldest uncle and I prepare some things for you, and you should prepare yourselves as well."

Everyone was discussing it enthusiastically when Qin Yan returned from the Second Branch.

Seeing the lively atmosphere in the courtyard, the displeasure on Qin Yan's face vanished, and he was surprised: "You have stimulated your spiritual roots?"

"Yes, yes." Qin Tang could not wait to announce it to the world: "I have spiritual roots."

"Good, that's good." Qin Yan was overjoyed.

The Qin Yan Hou, however, noticed that Qin Yan's expression had been wrong just now. Upon asking, he learned that Qin Yan had gone to the Second Branch to ask his Second He He Bo Fu for spirit plants, but Qin He had refused immediately upon hearing it and had also complained to Qin Yan about her dissatisfaction.

Qin Yan said indignantly: "Qin He said that she can support the Second Branch, but she will not support the entire Marquis Manor."
