Chapter 10: Suspicion
Qin Haiyuan in the secret room was indeed very sad.
After sweating and practicing hard for a long time in the martial arts arena, and then trying to rush through the level again to no avail, he had to end his practice and get out of bed.
After taking a few sips of the ginseng soup on the table beside him, he began to ponder the root of the problem.
"What the hell is going on? It's clear that it's very close to breaking through, but it can't be crossed! What went wrong? Qin Haiyuan pulled his hair, thinking with chagrin in his heart.
In the past month, his father and the clansmen close to him have given him a lot of support, and all kinds of elixirs and high-grade ingredients have been purchased locally, and then sent to him, a genius, in one go. Coupled with his own retreat and penance all day long, under normal circumstances, he should have taken this step, but he was always stuck at a critical juncture, unable to go up or down, unable to advance or retreat!
Qin Haiyuan has always been very confident in himself, he has never doubted his root bone talent, including the people around him. The most outstanding son of the Qin Mansion generation should be him, and it can only be him! The future of the family must have a future under his leadership, not the Qin Luyan who bears the name of the heir of the family, but only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun.
And he is also an ambitious and ambitious person, the future Qin family is his, the position of the disciple of Xuanling Palace is his, and even he will continue to climb up and become the elder and even the head of the famous sect of Xuanling Palace, so that his prestige will be spread throughout the continent!
How could an outstanding person like himself not even be able to break through the five levels of the Qi Refining Realm? How can you rise to the top and become famous in the mainland in the future?!
“…… Darn! Lao Tzu really doesn't believe in this evil! Qin Haiyuan's facial features were twisted and hideous, his eyes were faintly bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
He took out the jade bottle in his arms, thought about it, poured out the remaining six Han Yuan Dan inside, swallowed them all in one go, and then started practicing the exercises again.
The strong medicinal power poured into the viscera along the meridians and melted into the blood, and the absorption process seemed to be fine, and the heavy barrier could be vaguely sensed, but for some reason, it was impossible to break through.
Half an hour...... An Hour...... Two hours passed.
Until all the medicinal power was absorbed, there was still no change in his body.
"Damn! Damn it! ”
Qin Haiyuan jumped up in a rage and kicked over the table next to him, like a mad beast spinning around the room.
He hesitated in his room for a long time, and finally made up his mind and went out to discuss countermeasures with his father.
“…… Master, are you here? The servant at the door of the upper room saluted and greeted him with courtesy.
He was not in a good mood and didn't bother to pay attention to it, nodded with a straight face, and pushed the door and walked in without saying a word.
Behind the heavy gold-lacquered cloud wood bookcase, Qin Tianwang, who was sitting precariously, was holding a thick account book in his hand, carefully flipping through and checking, and saw his son come in with a gloomy face, and did not stop what he was doing, but asked lightly: "Still unsuccessful?" ”
Qin Haiyuan snorted sullenly, sat down on the side by himself, and the neat maid immediately served tea.
Qin Tianwang didn't say anything more, he still checked the accounts unhurriedly, and only closed the account book after a while, raised his eyes and looked at his son a few times, and muttered:
"With your qualifications and hard work in the recent period, there is no shortage of resources, and under normal circumstances, there should be a great chance of breaking through, why are you always stuck at this threshold and cannot make an inch? Could it be...... What went wrong? ”
"It's impossible!"
Qin Haiyuan said categorically: "The child once asked Elder You to check them, and there is no problem with the meridians and internal organs of the whole body, and it is not false at all that the cultivation is on the verge of breaking through, I really don't understand what is going on!" ”
Qin Tianwang frowned and said, "Since it's not your problem, then...... By the way, you bring that thing to me to see. ”
He didn't say what it was, but of course Qin Haiyuan knew it, unbuttoned his shirt and carefully took out the devouring jade pendant from his chest, and then stepped forward and handed it to his father.
Qin Tianwang took it over and examined it carefully, and found that there was nothing wrong, and the hidden magic circle inside was still functioning normally.
This thing was originally obtained by him from an evil figure of unknown origin in some shady transaction, so he was naturally familiar with it. Qin Haiyuan was able to become the most dazzling elite of the family from a child with not particularly outstanding qualifications, and this pair of jade pendants was definitely indispensable.
"Since it's not the reason, then it can only be your luck?"
Qin Tianwang frowned slightly and said, "Right now, the period of the Xuanling Palace's introductory disciple assessment is getting closer and closer, it's not a way to drag it like this, it's better to ...... As a father, I'll buy you a Soul Clearing Blood Yuan Pill, right? ”
"Father, isn't this too much of a waste of money?" Qin Haiyuan was a little apprehensive.
"It's nothing."
Qin Tianwang waved his hand and said: "Solve this matter as soon as possible, and we will be able to carry out the next plan smoothly in the future, as long as we can completely bring down Qin Luyan's house and take over their property, this expenditure is not a big problem at all." ”
Qin Haiyuan nodded vigorously and approved of his father's decision. As long as he can successfully replace Qin Luyan's position, this cost is indeed not worth mentioning.
Since the disappearance of the previous head of the family, they have been secretly implementing this meticulous and vicious plan for several years, and the various resources that have been put into it are incalculable, but they can't go wrong at this critical moment of success, resulting in the loss of their previous efforts.
……
"Miss, what are we doing here?"
The maid Cui Yun followed Qin Luyan, who was calm and leisurely in front of her, and asked cautiously.
This eldest lady rarely didn't practice today, but changed her dress, and then called the two little maids to go out for a walk.
Hearing the maid's question, Qin Luyan smiled freely and said, "I heard that my respectable cousin has been in retreat recently, but for some reason, there has been no good news, so ...... Miss Ben is going to pay a visit! ”
Cui Yun looked at Qin Luyan suspiciously, she had been on an errand in other parts of the Qin Mansion in the past, and the deeds of this eldest lady were only hearsay, but since she was transferred by Chief Manager Yu to serve this master, she found that the rumors in the past were too unreliable.
After a short time, the three girls came to the courtyard where Qin Tianwang's clan lived, and regardless of the surprised and puzzled eyes of those guys along the way, they went straight to the place where Qin Haiyuan retreated.
"Miss, ...... are you?" asked the two Tsing Yi guards at the door with big shoulders and round waists.
"I'll see how my cousin is doing, so you can go and report it." Qin Luyan is so neat.
The guard's face was embarrassed: "Miss, the young master is rushing through the gate behind closed doors, and he ordered no one to disturb him, so it's better for you to ......."
These days, Qin Haiyuan has been in an extremely bad mood because of repeated failures, and he is often angry about a little thing, and severely reprimands them, which makes the maids and servants in the entire courtyard worry and tremble as if walking on thin ice.
So even if Qin Luyan came to visit her door today, they didn't dare to let go of their mouths and agree, lest they touch the moldy head of the young master Qin.
"Oh, I see, that's not a coincidence."
Qin Luyan smiled disappreciatively and turned around lightly: "Since that's the case, then I'll come back another day." ”
"Lady walk slowly." The guards breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to respond.
Seeing Qin Luyan's beautiful figure in the distance, a trace of heat flashed in the guard's eyes, and he immediately remembered that such a noble girl was not qualified to be remembered by a person like herself, and sighed abruptly.
"Brother Wang Qi, why do I think something is wrong?" His companion spoke suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Wang Qi turned his head and said in surprise.
"Isn't this eldest lady said to only have a twofold or triple cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm? Why does it seem that today it seems that it has already reached the late stage of the quadruple? It's comparable to our young master Haiyuan! He wondered.
Wang Qi's face changed: "Are you sure you can see clearly?" This is no joke. ”
"It's true, my induction can't be wrong, you should be aware of it!" His tone was affirmative.
These two brothers are over thirty years old, and they are both cultivators of the eightfold Qi Refining Realm, and there will be basically no mistakes in close observation, unless the other party's strength is higher than theirs, or there is a means to conceal their cultivation with a concealed aura. Qin Luyan didn't deliberately hide her aura just now, so she couldn't avoid the eyes of the two of them at all.
Wang Qi's face darkened, as a person of Qin Tianwang's lineage, of course he understood what it meant for Miss Qin Luyan's cultivation to be refined, if she could reach the fivefold realm first, the consequences would ......
"You wait here, I'll report to the master." Wang Qi made a decision immediately.
A quarter of an hour later, Qin Tianwang in the upper room knew what had happened, and his face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping.
"Are you sure you're right?" He asked gloomily.
"Master, we don't dare to talk nonsense about such an important matter, the eldest lady is indeed a cultivator in the late stage of the fourth stage, and she looks very stable." Wang Qicheng, who was kneeling on the ground, said in fear.
Qin Tianwang was silent, these personal guards were all sons of their lineage, and they had been serving the young master since they were young, and there was no problem in terms of loyalty. What's more, when Qin Luyan came over, many clansmen witnessed it with their own eyes, and it was obviously impossible to fake it.
"Could it be that Chief Manager Yu got her the Clear Spirit Blood Yuan Pill?" Qin Tianwang immediately thought of this layer.
An old man who looked like a scribe next to him said: "There are only a few commercial houses that sell this kind of high-grade elixir, and according to our eyeliner, Manager Yu has not been to those places recently. ”
Moreover, the Qingling Blood Yuan Pill is not cheap, and the financial resources of the current concubine are not as good as before, and if you want to buy one, you can only make it up unless you mortgage and sell a part of the property. However, I haven't noticed a large amount of cash raising on the side of the house recently, so this thing seems a little strange.
"Isn't there a suspicious clue?" Qin Tianwang frowned.
The old man thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Nearly a month ago, the eldest lady and Uncle Yu went out once, and it is said that they went to the largest medicinal herb trading house in the city, should it be ......?"
"I'll find out right away." Qin Tianwang's face changed, and he immediately ordered.
