#19 - Persuasion, 150,000 Spiritual Stones

Seeing Huang Miaoying's silence, the Huang family members became somewhat anxious.

Huang Yuanjing said in a deep voice, "Miaoying, do you have any concerns? Just speak them out."

Huang Miaoying gave a wry smile, "To be honest, Ancestor, my master had hinted before that she wanted me to marry into the Guan family."

The Huang family members were all stunned upon hearing this, and their expressions immediately turned unpleasant. Even Huang Yuanjing's eyelids twitched violently.

Huang Miaoying's master, Guan Zilan, was a well-known figure in the entire Jing Country's cultivation world. She was an elder of the Azure Sea Sect, a genuine Nascent Soul True Monarch. The Guan family she belonged to was an illustrious great cultivation family in Jing Country, with several Nascent Soul stage cultivators sitting in town.

The Guan family was a behemoth in front of the Huang family, and they couldn't afford to offend them at all.

If it were in the past, if Huang Miaoying could marry into the Guan family, the entire Huang family would have to decorate with lanterns and celebrate, wishing to form a marriage alliance with the Guan family.

But now that they had Qin Changqing, the Guan family was no longer an insurmountable mountain for them, and surpassing the Guan family was only a matter of time.

Now, the three families, even when they encounter a woman with good talent, their eyes will light up, and they will subconsciously consider what kind of talented child would be born if this woman were to combine with Qin Changqing.

"That's the Guan family, I think we should forget about it..."

"Yes, we can't afford to offend the Guan family!"

"A Nascent Soul's anger is unstoppable."

"It's just a marriage issue. Since Elder Guan didn't explicitly propose it, Miaoying has the right to choose. Moreover, Miaoying is a daughter of our Huang family, and we still have a say in her marriage."

"The Taiqing Sect is a righteous sect, and Elder Guan herself is unmarried. She can't possibly hold a grudge just because Miaoying doesn't marry into the Guan family."

"I also think it's a bit of a fuss. At most, this matter will displease Elder Guan, but it won't bring a crisis to our Huang family."

"On the contrary, if Miaoying gives birth to a child surpassing the Heavenly Spiritual Root, that would be a great thing for our Huang family."

"I think we can try!"

"Ancestor, what do you think?"

The Huang family's higher-ups were talking among themselves, some were apprehensive and conservative, but most of them wanted to try. However, the final decision still had to be made by Huang Yuanjing.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the ancestor, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Ahem, I've already considered the issues you've raised. Since I called Miaoying back, I definitely want to try it with Qin Changqing."

"There's no need to worry about Elder Guan. Isn't she just hinting? Let's just pretend we don't know."

"Moreover, we're not asking you to marry Qin Changqing. This time, everything will be kept secret. Just quietly have a child."

"Having a child won't take long. When the child is born, we'll leave the child in the family, and you can go back. No one will know."

"Later, if Elder Guan asks you to marry into the Guan family, it won't be too late to talk about it then!"

Huang Yuanjing looked like an old fox.

His explanation reassured everyone.

That's right, have a child first, and after the child is born, just pretend that nothing happened. We'll talk about the rest later.

This way, it would satisfy their requirements and wouldn't offend Guan Zilan on the surface.

Even if Guan Zilan finds out about the child later, at most she will be disappointed in the Huang family, but so what? Compared to a child surpassing the Heavenly Spiritual Root, disappointment is just disappointment!

"Wonderful! The ancestor is wise!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's just having a child, we're not marrying anyone. If you don't say it, I won't say it, who will know."

Huang Miaoying's father also excitedly followed up with persuasion, "Ying'er, your master is only hinting that you marry into the Guan family, she hasn't explicitly promised you in marriage. Then you just pretend you don't know about this matter. Besides, you're not marrying Qin Changqing, you're just having a child with him. When the child is born, it will stay in the family, who will know?"

If the child is born, he will be the child's own maternal grandfather. Given the current situation between Qin Changqing and Huang Miaoying, he will raise the child. No one is more looking forward to the child's birth than him.

As the patriarch, Huang Mingyi also nodded repeatedly, "Anyway, it's only a year's time. Qin Changqing's efficiency is still very fast. When you return to the sect, just don't mention the child. If your master really wants you to marry into the Guan family, you can just politely decline. Anyway, she's your master, at most she'll just be unhappy, but it won't lead to a falling out. Marrying into the Guan family now is nowhere near as good as combining with Qin Changqing."

A seedling surpassing the Heavenly Spiritual Root is someone who is expected to reach above the God Transformation stage in the future!

"I'll leave it all to the ancestor!" Huang Miaoying bowed gracefully, which meant she agreed.

… …

Three days later!

Huang Miaoying sent a message back to the Taiqing Sect.

She stated that she had obtained an opportunity in the family and suddenly had some insights. She would be in seclusion in the family for some time, and she probably wouldn't return to the sect for a while.

Qin Changqing's residence, in the main hall.

"Changqing, I came this time to ask you, how many spirit stones are needed to give birth to an offspring surpassing the Heavenly Spiritual Root?"

Huang Mingyi asked directly.

Suddenly asking this question surprised Qin Changqing. Could it be that the Huang family also has a woman with an excellent spiritual root?

As expected of a Golden Core great family, their foundation is not something that the Qin and Lin families can compare to.

"Based on my past experience, the number of spirit stones needed to conceive a child above the Heavenly Spiritual Root is indeed not a small amount... To be on the safe side, it will need at least 150,000!"

Qin Changqing said after pondering for a moment.

Conceiving a Heavenly Spiritual Root already requires 10,000 spirit stones. Increasing it tenfold to go to the next level would be 100,000.

For insurance and to extend his life, Qin Changqing would ask for half more.

Whoever has the gun in their hand has the right to speak!

Anyway, he has the initiative.

If you don't give it, I won't do it!

"150,000!"

Huang Mingyi was also slightly taken aback.

Although their Huang family has a large business, it is still not easy to take out 150,000 spirit stones at once.

However, when they thought about the future aptitude of the child, they were relieved. An aptitude surpassing the Heavenly Spiritual Root, 150,000 is not much!

Even if it is a Heavenly Spiritual Root, 150,000 is still a bargain.

It's just that they are used to buying goods cheaply from Qin Changqing, so it's not so easy to accept all of a sudden.

Huang Mingyi pondered for a while and still firmly said, "Okay, I will send someone to deliver the spirit stones in a while. You can absorb them with peace of mind. I will also notify the other two families. If it doesn't bother you, you can prepare first!"

… …

A month later, the Huang family did send the spirit stones, which were fully packed in a storage bag. After counting, it was 150,000, no more, no less.

Qin Changqing immediately put these spirit stones into the system space. Here, the system will automatically absorb and convert them into lifespan, which is much more efficient than him absorbing them piece by piece himself.

He also didn't let the Huang family send people over immediately. So many spirit stones also take time to absorb. After all, he is only in the Qi Training stage on the surface. Absorbing them too quickly would arouse suspicion.

Moreover, the longer the time is delayed, the more it will appear that he is working hard and accumulating with difficulty.

Qin Changqing can't let the three families think that having children is such a simple matter for him. Things that are too easy to get will not be cherished.

Huang Miaoying's matter is also being carried out in secret. The Qin and Lin families are not aware of it, but they have noticed something, but they just don't dare to ask more.

Three months later.

"Daddy, don't forget that you said you would tell us the story of the Journey to the West tomorrow!"

Qin Qiyun waved his small hand hard and left with his mother. He turned his head three times, somewhat reluctant. He had just heard about the Monkey King making havoc in the Heavenly Palace, which was the critical moment. Daddy stopped telling the story, which was unbearably frustrating.

"I won't forget!" Qin Changqing waved goodbye to his son with a smile, then turned and entered the house.

Cultivating his character and resting for a few months, it's almost time to go to work.

There are still many multiple-choice questions waiting for him to do!
