Su Xiaoyue didn’t know much about cultivation and had no concept of it. She was not clear about the spiritual roots of Xi’er and Wang Caini, or how difficult it was to establish a foundation originally.
However, after being blessed by the fortune of the Qin family and dual cultivating with Qin Changqing, the process became much easier.
Qin Lingshuang suddenly realized this.
Upon closer thought, it was indeed strange.
It seemed that all the women who married into the Qin family had incredibly fast cultivation progress.

Less than half a month after Qin Changqing’s marriage to Liu Siqi, the Qin Mansion was once again decorated and began preparing for another wedding ceremony.
All the major families in Yinxu Prefecture were left speechless.
Why?
Because they had to give gifts for Qin Changqing’s wedding.
Moreover, considering his status,the gifts couldn’t be of low quality.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be sincere enough.
It’s alright to cut corners once or twice, but they couldn’t keep doing it as if it were nothing.
You’ve only been in Yinxu Prefecture for a few years, haven’t you? You’re marrying three women in three years?’
And all your children have full moon celebrations, so even if the gifts are a bit inferior, they still have to be given, right?
Soon, the major families suddenly realized that Qin Changqing seemed to have found a new way to prosper.
If the Qin family kept going like this, the major families would be impoverished just by giving gifts.
But there was no way, despite their complaints, they couldn’t give any fewer gifts.
However, soon some people became resourceful.
For example, Liu Siqi’s status in Yinxu Prefecture was extraordinary because she was the daughter of Steward Liu.
As for Liu Yi, who the hell was he? The Liu family in Yinxu Prefecture was nothing, but they could enter the Qin family.
If the Liu family could get in, why couldn’t the Bee family or the Moth family?
If they managed to establish a relationship with the Qin family, their future paths would naturally become smoother.
So as soon as the wedding between Qin Changqing and Liu Yi finished, some families eagerly came to visit.
It turned out the Qin family’s business was limited by the Gongsun family and couldn’t expand. Although the Tier 9 families were weak, they still controlled some resources. If they could cooperate, they would also become a force not to be underestimated. Meanwhile,
Gongsun Family.
Gongsun Ming frowned and put away the communication talisman in his hand.
“Father, what’s wrong?” Gongsun Yang asked, puzzled.
Gongsun Ming hesitated slightly: “City Lord asked us to take advantage of the chaos caused by the demon cultivators as cover, and ambush the people of Lingxiao Sect in the Tiankui Mountain Range, especially Qin Changqing.”
Gongsun Yang’s eyes lit up: “This is good news.”
He had wanted to deal with Qin Changqing for a long time to vent his anger.
With the City Lord’s support, why would he hesitate?
“Yang’er, you’re still too naive,” Gongsun Ming said indifferently, “Although the situation in Yinxu Prefecture is complicated, it has been stable for many years. What does it mean when the City Lord gives such an order? It means that things have gotten out of our control. This Qin Changqing may not be so easy to kill.”
There was a big difference between them wanting to kill Qin Changqing, and the City Lord wanting to kill Qin Changqing.
If the conflict was limited to below the City Lord’s level, the Gongsun family would not be afraid, given their long-standing foundation in Yinxu Prefecture.
But now the City Lord has given an order, it means that the elder and even the Qixiao Sect might take action. By then, the Gongsun family would merely be a small boat on the sea, which could be sunk by a simple sneeze from the higher powers.
That’s why Gongsun Ming was worried.
But what could he do about it?’
He could only hope that after this matter was settled, the City Lord would protect the Gongsun family.
Qin Mansion.lt had been five days since Qin Changqing and Liu Yi’s grand wedding.
“My husband, the Qin family’s channels for elixirs, artifact refining, and spiritual herbs have all been opened, but our business has not been able to expand. Here is a record of the families I’ve visited these days, and some of them are quite good.”
“In addition, Steward Liu has introduced some channels, which I have also screened. Take a look at them.
Su Xiaoyue, like in Heiyu Town, helped manage the Qin family’s business. She was only seventeen when she married into the Qin family. Now more than ten years have passed, and her appearance has hardly changed, thanks to the effect of the Youth Retaining Pill.
However, while her appearance hasn’t changed much, her demeanor has changed greatly.
Qin Changqing laughed and said, “As long as you make a decision, you are better at this than I am. In a few more years, let Tianming and the others manage this area.”
Su Xiaoyue nodded with a smile.
Qin Haotian was her child, and although his cultivation wasn’t outstanding, he had a knack for business.
As a mother, she naturally felt gratified seeing her child doing well.
After spending some tender moments together, Qin Changqing returned to his own courtyard, planning to continue comprehending the Great River Sword Technique.
Since he married Liu Siqi, Liu Shuisheng no longer urged him to go to the
Tiankui Mountain Range, and there have been many small skirmishes recently, so even if he went, it would not have much effect.
It’s better to master the sword technique as soon as possible and increase his combat power.
However, right when he walked into his room, he saw Si Hongyue sitting at the tea table waiting for him.
Qin Changqing laughed, “If you don’t come, I might have to report this matter to the sect.”
Si Hongyue indifferently said, “I can cooperate with you, but you have to ensure my safety and help me complete my mission.”
“You go first.” Qin Changqing sat down, leisurely pouring himself a cup of tea, “Negotiating terms isn’t like this. We need to lay out the issues clearly, right?”
After hesitating for a moment, Si Hongyue said, “Actually, the appearance of the Huntian Sect here has nothing to do with the Lingxiao Sect or the Dayan Dynasty. We are just participating in the competition for the position of the Saintess.”
“The competition for the position of the Saintess?”
This was the first time Qin Changqing had heard of this matter.
“Yes, the Huntian Sect is different from other sects. Every time there is a change in the position of the Saintess, it inevitably causes internal turmoil.”
After Si Hongyue’s explanation, Qin Changqing learned that the position of the Saintess in the Huntian Sect was not as simple as it seemed.
This position had great power within the sect, and naturally, there were many who wanted to compete for it.
After multiple layers of competition, only two people remained, and she was one of them.
The mission issued by the sect was to find something called the ‘Star Demon Order.’
This item was a treasure of the Huntian Sect, but it was lost a thousand years ago. Recently, the Huntian Sect discovered that the Star Demon Order was in the Tiankui Mountain Range, but they didn’t know exactly where it was.
If one finds the Star Demon Order, they can become the Saintess.
Si Hongyue was betrayed by her own people halfway through her journey. She barely escaped, but her Golden Elixir was damaged. In Yinxu Prefecture, she had been trying to find medicine to repair her Golden Elixir but was unsuccessful.
As for sneaking into Qin Changqing’s house, it was her last resort. Only in such a place would the people of the Huntian Sect not dare to investigate rashly.
“According to the information obtained by the sect, the Star Demon Order was taken out by the former Saintess and then lost in the Tiankui Mountain Range due to an accident. As long as we find the place where she fell, we will surely find the Star Demon Order. “So, have you found it yet?”
“Not yet.” “Tsk.”
Qin Changqing curled his lips, feeling that the matter was a bit unreliable. These were things from a thousand years ago, and even if they still existed, they might have been taken away by others.
After all, the Tiankui Mountain Range was frequented by people, and even the cultivator-turned demonic beasts were present. The intelligence of those Golden Elixir-stage demonic beasts was not inferior to humans, so why wouldn’t they covet treasures?
Perhaps this was also the reason why the Huntian Sect did not act hastily and only sent two potential Saintesses to compete.
After all, if a Golden Elixir-stage cultivator appeared, the Lingxiao Sect would not pay too much attention.
If Nascent Soul-stage cultivators and above were deployed, not to mention the Lingxiao Sect, even the Dayan Dynasty would not sit idly by.
However, this matter had nothing to do with him. If he cooperated with Si Hongyue, he could use her to lure out the other people of the Huntian Sect and catch them all in one swoop.
The premise was, how much of what this woman said was true?
