C818 The Murongs
"Let's bet!"
As soon as these words left his mouth, Qin Shou regretted it. How could he possibly run a store, let alone open a pill shop?
Qin Qing saw Qin Shou's expression and knew that he must have regretted it, so he smiled faintly.
"Haha, we are all brothers. Actually, there is nothing worth betting on. As long as Third Brother says something wrong, then I can cancel this bet!"
Qin Shou was so arrogant, how could he withstand the provocation? He immediately cried out.
"Bullshit! Who said that I don't dare to bet?! You don't want me to bet, but I want to bet!"
"Hehe, good. Then it's a deal. With a month as the deadline, whoever makes more profit will win. How about it?"
Qin Qing laughed loudly.
"Alright, it's a deal then!"
Qin Shou let out a cold humph. No matter what the result was, he couldn't afford to lose in terms of momentum.
"Dad, I'll take my leave now. I'll be going back to my work first!"
Qin Qing burst into laughter. After that, he cupped his hands toward Qin Ba, turned around, and left.
Qin Ba looked at Qin Shou and said, "Shou'er, you are too impulsive!"
Qin Shou said with a sad face, "Dad, you can help me!"
Qin Ba's eyes widened. "How can I help you? You have caused trouble yourself, you can handle it yourself!"
"Ah..."
Qin Shou was stunned.
How could he know how to concoct pills?
"Dad, if you don't care about me, won't you just watch me lose?"
Qin Shou burst into tears.
"If you don't care about me, then I can only find Mom to think of a way. Mom still loves me!"
When Qin Shou's mother was mentioned, Qin Ba couldn't do anything about it.
"Alright, stop crying. I can only help you this one time!"
When Qin Shou heard that there was a chance, his tears turned into laughter and he started laughing.
"Dad, I knew you were the best!"
Qin Ba helplessly took out a jade pendant from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Sigh, I didn't want to use this jade pendant. After all, this jade pendant is gone after I use it! But now, I will give it to you! Anyway, I don't need it now. I might not be able to use it for my entire life! "
Qin Shou grabbed the jade pendant from the table and flipped it over and over for a long time. His face revealed a disappointed expression.
"Dad, this is a very ordinary jade pendant! There is nothing special about it!"
Qin Ba shook his head and said, "You don't understand. Although this jade pendant is not worth much, this jade pendant represents a promise!"
" Oh, what promise? "
Qin Shou asked curiously.
"Do you know about Murong Villa?" Qin Ba asked.
"Murong Villa, is it the family of alchemists, the Mu Rong family?" Qin Shou scratched his head and said with uncertainty.
Qin Ba nodded and said, "That's right, it is the famous Mu Rong family!"
The more Qin Shou heard, the more confused he became. He said urgently, "Dad, tell me more clearly, what is the relationship between us and Mu Rong world?"
Qin Ba shook his hand to signal Qin Shou to be quiet, then he slowly said.
"You know the ancestors of our Qin Family. They were once First Grade Great Members of the dynasty. During one of our tours, we accidentally saved a group of people who were being hunted by bandits. The leader of those people used this jade pendant as a token of appreciation, claiming that he must repay the Qin Family. However, our ancestors didn't take this promise seriously, so we simply threw the jade pendant into the warehouse. "
" Later on, our family fell, and our family moved here. So, we forgot about this matter! Until just now, when I was sorting out the miscellaneous items in the warehouse... In a small box, I found this jade pendant. Only then did I remember that promise. It has been more than 200 years! If I hadn't tied up my grandfather's story when I was young, I would have broken this jade pendant as a toy! "
Qin Ba took a deep breath and said," The people who gave it to our ancestors back then were surnamed Murong! "
"Ah, I didn't expect our ancestors to save our ancestors!"
Qin Shou took a deep breath and widened his eyes.
The Murong family was very famous, and they were famous for their alchemy skills. Almost half of the pills in the Great Qin Empire were concocted by them.
In particular, Murong Qiu, the daughter of the current leader of the Mu Rong family, was famous for her skills in alchemy. She was able to concoct Earth Grade medicinal pills before she was sixteen, and now she was nineteen. She had almost reached the level of Heavenly Level Pill Refining Master, and her name had shaken the world for a while.
Furthermore, she was as beautiful as a flower. It was unknown how many royal families wanted to take her into their harem.
However, Murong Qiu was very proud. She directly said that she could marry her, but she had to defeat her in alchemy.
No one in the Great Qin Empire could reach this level with a nineteen year old peak Earth Grade Pill Refining Master. As such, there were fewer and fewer people chasing after Murong Qiu.
After all, if they could not fulfill her conditions, they would not be able to marry her.
Of course, Qin Shou had thought about it before, but he backed off. No matter if it was his family background or cultivation, he was far from reaching Murong Qiu's standards. There was no need for him to embarrass himself.
He was lazy and greedy and lecherous, but his biggest characteristic was that he knew his own limitations. He knew what he couldn't do, so he definitely wouldn't do it.
"So, you take this jade pendant and go to the Murong Family. Ask them to send a Pill Refining Master over. This way, you might be able to compete with Qing'er!"
After Qin Ba finished speaking, he sighed and waved his hand.
This was the last time he would help Qin Shou.
"Alright, dad. Don't worry, I won't let you down!"
Qin Shou said confidently.
As long as they had the help of the Mu Rong family, they would definitely win.
At the same time, in another courtyard, Qin Qing and Qin Fen were sitting proudly.
"Hehe, that idiot actually agreed to compete with me!"
Qin Qing grinned hideously.
Qin Fen said lightly, "En, very good. Qin Qing, as long as you win this time, I can also recommend a half-official position to father for you!"
Qin Qing was overjoyed and said, "Hehe, then thank you for the little points!"1
"I wonder if the little reward Pill Refining Master has arrived!"
Back when Qin Qing was about to open the alchemy store, it was Qin Fen who took the initiative to find him and said that he could provide Pill Refining Master.
Qin Fen said with a savage smile, "Huhu, of course I found it well! I guarantee you'll be satisfied, isn't that right, Poison Master!"
Following his voice, a cloud of black smoke floated up and slowly condensed into a human figure.
This human figure was wearing a black robe and was about forty to fifty years old. His skin was extremely dry and his eyes shone with a ferocious light, making people feel intimidated.
Qin Fen said with a smile, "Let me introduce you. This is Poison Master from the Myriad Poison Sect!"
"What? Myriad Poison Sect? I'll give you a little..."
Qin Qing was shocked. He never thought that Qin Fen would introduce him to a Pill Refining Master from the Myriad Poison Sect.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead because he knew what the Myriad Poison Sect meant.
