Chapter 305
Qin Yan had the urge to press his hand to his forehead. She still wasn't going to hold it against him? What could Qin He even hold against him?
Some cultivators from the Jiang family had already stopped using summoning artifacts and were fighting the beasts directly. Qin Yan arranged for the others to use their summoning artifacts, and he called the Xue Heir to go kill beasts.
If you want a larger share after killing a beast, you have to give it your all.
If the disciples of the Marquis Manor all held summoning artifacts and let their summoned beasts and plants fight in a half-hearted manner, the other cultivation families would be dissatisfied and unwilling to share beast meat with you.
For nothing? Are they stupid?
Qin He looked around, stood still at the edge with Qin Jue and the others, and summoned while holding her summoning artifact.
Orchid-Tier high-grade beasts are fierce and violent; only cultivators with sufficient fortune dare to fight them. Among the dozen or so cultivators, several had high cultivation levels, yet they didn't gain any advantage in front of the Orchid-Tier beasts.
There was no other reason: in the small space of the low-grade beast realm, there was suppression of fortune.
Qin Yan left, and Qin Bi, Qin Tang, and the others didn't take it to heart. From the beginning, Qin Yan had been in the same team as Qin He. Qin Tang wouldn't compete with Qin He; given yesterday's situation, they definitely had to snatch Qin Yan, but there was no need today.
"Where are we going?" Jiang Xu asked.
Without waiting for Qin Tang to speak, Qin Bi suggested, "Let's go to yesterday's spot."
Everyone looked at each other; there was no need to spell it out. Once they heard it, they knew Qin Bi's plan. Rong Yan and Qin Lang thought the same—they hadn't finished catching the spirit birds yesterday, so what if there were more?
They couldn't let a single one go. Spirit birds are delicious and good for improving one's constitution.
"Let's go, let's go..." Qin Lang was very proactive. "If there's still one left, we can't let others have it for cheap. Catching spirit bird ducks is much more cost-effective than digging for herbs. There's no rush to dig for herbs."
Qin Tang lifted his chin. "Let's go."
The small space of the beast realm in autumn is extremely hot, comparable to a wasteland. Perhaps the place they came to was the wasteland of this low-grade beast realm small space.
Although it is called a small space of the beast realm, its area is vast.
When they arrived at the place, they looked out and saw nothing but sand. Once the summoning artifact was put away, the small river disappeared. However, Qin Lang wouldn't give up; he ran far away with Rong Yan to search, and Qin Bi, Qin Tang, and the others searched too.
"I found a few!" Rong Yan ran back with a face full of surprise.
"Are there still spirit bird ducks?" Qin Xun was surprised.
"Over there." Rong Yan pointed into the distance.
Once they found the spirit bird ducks, everyone had to go over. They followed Rong Yan and sure enough, saw more than ten spirit bird ducks foraging. The sandy land lacked plants, and each duck was far apart.
Qin Bi suddenly had an idea. She held her summoning artifact and said, "How about I move the river again?"
Qin Bi felt that moving the river was just like how she said the summoning artifact was a teacup. Qin Tang didn't correct her and said, "Go ahead and summon. If you can lure a flock of spirit bird ducks, we'll catch them here."
Jiang Xu pushed Rong Yan. "You kid have been blessed since you were little. Qin Bi is summoning, so you should stand closer."
Qin Xun said to Qin Lang, "You go over there too."
Every family has a few people with high fortune values. It's not that they brag about being blessed, but that everyone has discovered it. Whether you are blessed or not, people aren't blind; they can tell.
This doesn't involve passing off fish eyes as pearls. For example, Qin He—Qin Xun disdains her so-called fortune.
Why?
Whatever Qin He does, she drags the Xue Heir, the He Heir, the Rong Heir, and the Qin Heir along. Even if she isn't blessed, her luck can't be bad. As heirs of noble families, their fortune values are all quite high.
Qin He married well, relying on the He Heir to act as a matchmaker.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for her, a concubine's daughter, to become the Xue Wang Fu's Heir Consort. The candidates for Heir Consort are all chosen from the daughters of noble families, and they must be outstanding in talent, appearance, and character.
"My sister is also blessed." Qin Lang ran to Qin Bi's side, along with Rong Yan.
Qin Lang's words weren't wrong. If you set aside the marriage, Qin Bi, as a concubine's daughter of the fourth branch, was indeed blessed. Her legal mother didn't make things difficult for her, and she lived in a small courtyard, reading books and raising flowers, living a very leisurely life.
It was just that when she reached the age for marriage, everything changed.
How should one put it? Qin Bi's fortune couldn't be suppressed. If she didn't marry the Yan Guogong Manor's Heir, she would marry the Rong Heir. Others couldn't snatch these two powerful heirs away, but Qin He snatched one and almost died.
Therefore, the concept of fortune is mysterious and profound.
Qin Bi held the summoning artifact and summoned. The river drawn on the summoning artifact instantly moved to the empty sandy ground. They had seen it once yesterday, but everyone still found it novel today.
"Sister," Qin Lang asked, "how many times can this summoning artifact be used?"
"I don't know." How would Qin Bi know?
The wasteland-like sandy ground now had the scent of water. From far away, countless spirit bird ducks ran out from the sand, waddling and running towards this side while quacking. At a glance, there were at least three hundred of them.
The eyes of Qin Bi, Qin Lang, and Rong Yan all lit up. These three had the most fortune, but luring spirit bird ducks again was truly unexpected. They couldn't even believe that this large flock of ducks was real.
Qin Tang and Qin Xun rolled up their sleeves, and Jiang Xu also rubbed his hands together. "Use it while we can."
After speaking, the three of them prepared to catch them, stepping forward to surround them from all sides.
Qin Bi took out a teleportation array and set it up. "I used this for my large teleportation array, and there are three left, but none of them are as large as yesterday's. What should we do if there are more spirit birds?"
Jiang Xu's mouth twitched. She was overthinking it. Are there really that many spirit bird ducks?!
It would be good enough to catch one batch today. Thinking too much—the problem is that they don't exist!
"The eldest cousin might have a large teleportation array." Qin Xun said.
Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes suddenly lit up. How could they do without the Qin Heir at a time like this? Qin He called the Qin Heir away, but they could call him back. Damn it, there's no need to compete when you shouldn't, but you must compete when you should.
Rong Yan looked at Qin Xun excitedly. "Call your eldest cousin."
Qin Xun didn't say a word and opened the teleportation array to leave.
"Awoo..." a beast roared in anger.
As soon as Qin Xun appeared, he saw the genius-level cultivators of various cultivation families fighting beasts, while others held summoning artifacts to command summoned beasts and plants to attack.
Qin Xun bypassed the cultivators to get close to the battlefield and shouted, "Eldest cousin!"
Qin Yan looked over. Qin Xun's expression was calm, but Qin Yan was excited. Some things were hard to say, but he had guessed it. Good fellow, there must be more spirit bird ducks to teleport!
Qin Yan leaped away. Qin He saw this and was just about to blame Qin Xun when Qin Yan walked up to Qin Xun, and the small teleportation array immediately opened, and the two left. Qin He stomped her feet in anger.
"This is too much." Qin He looked at Qin Jue. "Our second branch doesn't compete with the fourth branch, yet the fourth branch is pushing their luck, coming again and again to snatch the Marquis Manor's fortune from us. Don't the people of the third and fourth branches know we are killing high-grade beasts? They are so anxious because they can't collect anything that they don't even care about their dignity."
Qin He spoke without thinking, and the people from the cultivation families nearby cast sidelong glances.
The young cultivator from the Jiang family still felt he should say a few words: "The Qin Heir is the Marquis Manor's Heir, not yours. Is the Qin Heir supposed to stay in your team forever and ignore everyone else?!"
