Chapter Twelve: Qi Ling Dan

  "Since it's the miscellaneous affairs elder's meaning, then you go back and tell him that before the Three-Colored Spirit Orchid matures, the medicine field here must be taken care of by Qin Yong. After the Three-Colored Spirit Orchid matures, come back again." Liu Yan said calmly.

  Liu Yan would not easily use her identity and status to interfere with other disciples' affairs, but the three-colored spirit orchid was crucial, and no one except Qin Yong could help her. Naturally, Liu Yan could only do so. Similarly, Liu Yan was young, and most of her time was spent on cultivation, but that didn't mean she didn't understand human emotions and worldly matters.

  This medicinal field, in itself is nothing special, and many miscellaneous disciples would rather do other chores than take care of it. Because if you do a good job, it's just your duty, but if you don't do well, you'll be severely punished, just like Qin Yong crossed over here, completely because his previous life was a loser who did things poorly and got beaten to death.

  Since that's the case, why did Liu Qi still want to forcefully take over the medicine field? Yan immediately thought of herself. Although Yan didn't think she was particularly important, she also knew that among the miscellaneous disciples and even the outer sect disciples, there were many people who wanted to get close to her. Yan had encountered many self-recommended followers who wanted to become her followers, but Yan hadn't taken a liking to any of them. Instead, it was Qin Yong who caught her eye and had thoughts about her, only to be rejected by Qin Yong.

  "Liu Yan's sister, what did you say?" Liu Qi looked at Liu Yan in shock, not daring to believe what he had just heard.

  Originally, when Liu Qi heard Yulan say this, he thought it was the intention of Miscellaneous Duty Elder and felt very pleased with himself, while also provocatively looking at Qin Yong, thinking that Yulan had agreed. But unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and originally, Yulan Shijie, who never interfered in other disciples' matters, suddenly changed her previous stance and said that Qin Yong must be in charge of the medicine field.

  That is to say, taking care of the Three-Colored Spiritual Orchid, Liu Yan only recognized Qin Yong, no one else would do. As for the medicine field, before the Three-Colored Spiritual Orchid matured, no one was allowed to touch it, and after it matured, it didn't matter what they did with it. However, by the time the Three-Colored Spiritual Orchid matured, taking back this medicine field would be useless, Liu Yan wouldn't have come back anyway.

  What struck Liu Qi even more was that in Liu Yan's tone, there was a hint of importance placed on Qin Yong, which left Liu Qi shocked and jealous. Why did this Qin Yong get the recognition from Liu Yan just because he took advantage of Yao Tian? Who can't take care of the spiritual medicine? Why did Qin Yong have such good luck and even made Liu Yan insist on him?

  "Go back and tell the miscellaneous elder, the medicine field will be temporarily in charge of Qin Yong. Before the three-color spirit orchid matures, no one is allowed to come over and disturb." Liu Yan's eyebrows furrowed again, reiterating once more, at this point she had clearly expressed her support for Qin Yong.

  Liu Qi could no longer avoid the reality, his face somewhat embarrassed, said: "Liu Yan Shifu, Qin Yong has just started taking care of the medicine field and there are many things he doesn't understand. I have been in charge of the medicine field for more than three years, I am more suitable..."

  "That's enough, you can go now. Except for Qin Yong, I don't need anyone else to take care of the Three-Colored Spirit Orchid." Liu Qi was cut off by Liu Yan.

  Qin Yong shook his head as he looked at Liu Qi, who still wanted to persuade Liu Yan. However, this was simply impossible. What Liu Yan wanted was for the Three-Colored Spirit Orchid to mature as soon as possible, and in this regard, no one else could do it except Qin Yong. Let alone that Liu Qi had been in charge of the medicine field for over three years, even if it were thirty years, it would be useless.

  "I understand. I've disturbed Elder Liu Yan's meditation. I'll tell the Janitor Elder about it." Liu Qi's face was ashen, his mood had already sunk to the bottom of the valley.

  Liu Qi has already been rejected by Liu Yan for the third time, even though he said he was better than Qin Yong, but ended up with the same result. However, only Liu Qi knew that this time Liu Yan's rejection meant not only losing the chance to get close to her, but also losing his usefulness in front of Wang Hai, and whether he could continue to follow Wang Hai, Liu Qi himself was uncertain.

  Liu Qi could only comply, even if he was unwilling. Liu Yan had already made her stance clear, and if he continued to pester her, he would likely provoke her anger. At that time, Liu Qi wouldn't know how miserable his fate would be. Even if Liu Yan didn't deign to take action herself due to her status, there would definitely be many outer sect disciples or even inner sect disciples willing to take the lead.

  "Thank you, Master Liu Yan." Qin Yong spoke up to thank Liu Yan after seeing Liu Qi leave. Thanks to Liu Yan's words, he avoided a lot of trouble later on.

  "No need to thank me, it's because of me that you've encountered all this trouble. If anyone should apologize, it should be me." Yan gently shook her head, and with her status, being able to say such words to Qin Yong already showed how much she valued him.

  "No matter what, I'd like to say thank you, Liu Yan's words today will probably keep people away for a while, and I can focus on my cultivation." Qin Yong said, finally sighing and shaking his head slightly, "After all, it's because my strength is not enough. If I had already reached the seventh level of Qi Wu, becoming an outer disciple, they wouldn't dare to do this easily either."

  "You're right, Wu Xiu world, it's always been the strong who are revered, everything else is false, only one's own strength is truly real. You can understand this point, and you won't always be a miscellaneous disciple." Liu Yan smiled and said, on this point, Liu Yan understood more than Qin Yong, "On the Three Color Spirit Orchid, you helped me a lot, I don't know how to thank you, just in time, yesterday afternoon I obtained three Qi Ling Dan, I'll give them to you."

  Qin Yong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Liu Yan pulling out a palm-sized medicine bottle from her storage bag, which should contain the three Qi Ling Dan.

  This Qi Ling Dan is similar to the Xuan Ling Liquid, both are treasures that increase cultivation speed. The only difference is that the Xuan Ling Liquid is used by martial artists in the Xuan Wu Realm, while the Qi Ling Dan is used by martial artists in the Qi Wu Realm. After taking the Qi Ling Dan, a Qi Wu Realm martial artist's cultivation speed will double within seven days.

  Compared to the Xuanling Liquid, the Qiling Pill's enhancement speed is slightly inferior, but the Xuanling Liquid only lasts for one day, while the Qiling Pill lasts for seven days. Moreover, the Xuanling Liquid has usage restrictions, whereas the Qiling Pill can be taken continuously as long as there is enough supply to cultivate up to the ninth level of the Qi Wu Realm.

  "This is a precious resource, and only those outer door disciples who are geniuses can obtain it before they break through the Xuanwu realm. For example, Liu Yan had the Qiling Dan provided by the sect every month before she reached the Xuanwu realm, but the Qiling Dan has no effect on the Xuanwu realm, so naturally there is none after breaking through."

  It's unlikely that anyone would give Yueling Dan to Liu Yan, this must be something Liu Yan had specifically found for him. Qin Yong instantly understood. However, this was something Qin Yong couldn't refuse, he could only take the medicine bottle and solemnly say: "This Yueling Dan is indeed very important to me, I won't decline it. Thank you, Senior Sister Liu Yan, Qin Yong will remember your kindness."

  Liu Yan heard this and finally smiled, looking even more favorably on Qin Yong. "If I were to say now that you should become my personal disciple, you wouldn't refuse again, would you?"

  Liu Yan was joking, and the fact that Liu Yan could do so clearly showed that she no longer regarded Qin Yong as an outsider. In the world of martial arts, improving one's own strength is the most important thing, so Liu Yan gave Qin Yong the Spirit Essence Pill because it was the best reward. And from these two days of contact, Liu Yan also knew that Qin Yong was not a person who easily accepted help from others, which could be seen from the fact that Qin Yong helped her to induce the birth of the Three-Colored Spiritual Orchid without mentioning any reward, and Liu Yan truly felt that Qin Yong was not after anything.

  Actually, what Qin Yong wanted was the aura of fortune, which he had already obtained. However, Liu Yan was not aware of this. In Liu Yan's opinion, Qin Yong was someone who did not want to take advantage of others' kindness and seek revenge, yet he accepted the Spirit Essence Pill, showing that Qin Yong also recognized the importance of increasing his strength and would not be constrained by his personality. Even if his innate talent was not high, his future achievements would not be too low.
