Chapter 99 - 99: Tier 6 Spiritual Root 1

Translator: 549690339

Qin Changqing was stunned.

Tier 6 medium?

He wondered if he had misheard.

After all, Bai Shi himself only had a Tier 8 spiritual root.

One would need some sort of genetic mutation to skip two whole levels like that.

“Are you sure?”

“Absolutely, many people know about it.”

Hearing Bai Shi’s words, Qin Changqing became interested.

After all, among the women around him, the most talented ones were Qin

Lingshuang and Murong Xue, but they only had Tier 7 high spiritual roots.

With a Tier 6 spiritual root, the child born would surely not be bad, right?

He just didn’t know if she had a big butt or not.

Thinking about it, Qin Changqing gladly accepted the invitation.

“I, Qin Changqing, have always been benevolent and compassionate toward talent. It would be a waste if such a gifted girl cannot cultivate. Since I have nothing better to do, I might as well go see her.”

Bai Shi gratefully knelt, said thank you several times, and left with a smile on his face.

“Husband, do you really want to go?” Su Xiaoyue only spoke up after Bai Shi

left.

Qin Changqing smiled and said, “I know what you’re worried about at this crucial time, you’re afraid that someone might try to assassinate me.”

“Yes.”

Others might not know, but Su Xiaoyue did.

The Qin family had no Late Golden Elixir Stage or peak experts, just a powerful Array Formation.

When Qin Changqing stayed at the Qin family, he was naturally safe, but once he went out, the risk increased dramatically.

With the Gongsun family dead, the Qin family had become a thorn in the eyes of the Dayan Dynasty’s forces in Yinxu Prefecture.

Jin Tianfeng probably wanted to kill him all the time.

“Don’t worry, I have something to save my life,” Qin Changqing smiled. “Even if I really encounter Jin Tianfeng, I’m confident I can escape safely, and he won’t dare to make a move before figuring out the cause of Gongsun Muyi’s death.”

“Hmm… That’s true.”

If Jin Tianfeng had had intentions, he would’ve made his move when the Qin family swallowed the Gongsun family.

Moreover, during this period, Qin Changqing had frequently been out and about, but nothing had happened.

Clearly, Jin Tianfeng was hesitating.

“I’ll go for a visit tomorrow. You look after the house; if anything goes wrong, activate the Array Formation immediately. Lingshuang is still in closed cultivation, and if there’s any situation, let me know.”

“Yes.”

Qin Changqing was quite looking forward to a girl with Tier 6 spiritual root.

If he could really marry her, it would be of great help to the development of the Qin family.

Yes, he only wanted to revitalize the famimly, not because of her status as the so-called most beautiful woman in Yinxu Prefecture.

The next day, he arrived at the Bai Family right on time.

There was also a little tail following him Liu Siqi.

Seeking treasure Siqi, in order to help her sisters keep an eye on things and examine this number one beauty of Yinxu Prefecture, insisted on sticking to Qin Changging and coming along. He had no choice but to bring her.

“This is the Bai Family? It doesn’t even look as good as my house.”

Liu Siqi raised her head and looked at the somewhat old mansion in front of her, incredulously.

The Bai Family was located on the outskirts of Yinxu Prefecture, and the mansion was quite large. But real estate prices were low here, and don’t forget that the Bai Family was a Tier 8 Cultivation Family.

At the moment, it didn’t even look as good as some business families.

Liu Siqi’s own home wasn’t big either, as Liu Shuisheng never thought about developing the family, but it looked much better than this.

“They’ve really taken the word ‘low-key’ to heart.”

Outside the gate, Bai Shi was waiting with his people early on.Upon seeing Qin Changqing appear, Bai Shi enthusiastically welcomed him.

The two followed him inside.

As Qin Changqing imagined, the interior was simple without any extravagant decorations, similar to the courtyard of the old man at Xuanyi Peak.

Of course, even though it was simple, it had everything it should have.

The front yard, the main hall, the side rooms, the courtyard… There weren’t many servants, just a few could be seen after walking around.

Bai Shi led the two into a courtyard.

After passing the moon gate, everything here seemed to have changed.

Although it remained simple, simplicity exuded elegance – a small bridge over a flowing stream, an artificial mountain, a lake, and a pavilion in the lake. At this moment, a figure in white was sitting in the pavilion, playing a zither.

As Qin Changqing entered the courtyard, the sound of the zither rang out.

He often listened to Su Xiaoyue playing the zither and flute and had some understanding of music.

At this moment, the sound of the zither conveyed a faint sense of sorrow amidst its graceful melody, a feeling of the vicissitudes of autumn leaves withering. Even those who didn’t understand the zither would be able to appreciate this immersive artistic conception.

He stood outside the pavilion and listened quietly.

When the zither piece ended, a delicate and pleasant voice like a nightingale came.

“What does Young Master Qin think?”

Qin Changqing pondered for a moment and said, “It sounds good. The playing skill can be called excellent, but I don’t like this piece much.”

“Why not?”

“It’s too bitter. It’s important to enjoy life when we can, but the piece you just played is so sad and wretched, not the tone I like.”

“Young Master Qin is really open-minded.” Bai Liu sighed softly, “But how can one fully enjoy life if it’s full of disappointments?”

“Miss, you are mistaken. As the saying goes, ‘fortune depends on misfortune, and misfortune hides in fortune’. Everything has two sides. Although you have lost the possibility of cultivation, you are also spared from the cruelty of the cultivation world. You are loved by your father, your Bai family is harmonious, and there is no strife. Isn’t that another form of beauty? Since it cannot be attained, demanding it will only lead to more troubles.”

Honestly, the Bai family was the most unique family Qin Changing had ever

seen.

In other families, there were constant power struggles and major factions vying for the position of the family head, some even to the point of bloodshed. In contrast, the Bai family was very harmonious throughout his journey there.

It truly was a salted fish family.

“Steward Qin, you two can continue chatting. I’ll let the servants prepare some food and drink.” Bai Shi left cheerfully.

“Husband, there isn’t even a single maid here.” Liu Siqi looked around curiously and said.

“I’m used to solitude and don’t like being disturbed, so there are no maids around me.” Bai Liu explained.

Liu Siqi stuck out her tongue.

It was a bit awkward that their conversation was overheard.

Inside the pavilion, Bai Liu stood up and turned around, allowing Qin Changqing to finally see the woman’s face clearly.

She had a classic oval face, willow eyebrows, and almond-shaped eyes that seemed to contain autumn water. Her small and delicate nose accompanied her cherry-red lips that were tender, transparent, and charming. With her natural, frail pallor, she was a sight that tugged at one’s heartstrings.

In terms of beauty, the ladies of Qin Changqing’s household were by no means inferior to her.

However, such a temperament would surely evoke a protective urge in any man who saw her.

No wonder she was recognized as the most beautiful woman in Yinxu Prefecture. Those eyes were truly captivating, entrancing anyone who looked at them.

Fortunately, Qin Changqing had a strong mind, and his gaze only lingered briefly on the abundant fruits hidden in Bai Liu’s chest before he gentlemanly looked away.

“So beautiful.” Liu Siqi exclaimed in surprise, thinking that Bai Liu would undoubtedly fit in with the other ladies in their family.

“Greetings, Young Master Qin.” Bai Liu placed her hands together in front of her and squatted down slightly.

“Miss Bai, you’re too kind.”

Qin Changqing smiled and scanned her with his system.

[Bai Liu, female, Spiritual Root: Tier 6 average, Fortune index: 368] She really had a Tier 6 spiritual root.

However, her fortune index was only a little over three hundred.

No wonder she nearly died prematurely – although having over three hundred fortune points was already quite high, it was obviously not enough for a cultivator with a Tier 6 spiritual root..
