BXBX NOVEL Chapter 322 - 322: Continuous Growth
In a short time, everyone fell silent.
The three void refiners were lost in all kinds of sensational speculations.
Their views and evaluations of Qin Changqing, as well as their future attitudes towards him, were going to change drastically because of this.
Finally, the Tribulation Thunder was over, Qin Changqing rapidly refined the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder.
After gathering everything, Qin Changqing clapped his hands, and his appearance returned to being tidy and clean.
He took a step forward and arrived in front of the few from the Butterfly Cloud.
“Honorable seniors, please-
Inside the Qin Mansion, there was already a festive spirit around.
The number of people who came to celebrate Qin Changqing’s birthday was considerably large.
Although it was only Qin Changqing’s 385th birthday this time and not a rounded number,
the enormity of Qin Changqing’s advancement into Void Refinement drew in many cultivators, which astonished them and led them to come and celebrate Qin Changqing’s birthday one after another.
The Qin’s mansion in Taixuan Peak was divided into two parts, one was the external area, used for entertaining guests and for the residence of the Qin family’s spiritual root descendants.
The other was a deeper area, where only Qin Changqing and his concubines resided.
The guests, of course, were in the exterior area.
Atop a mountain specially used for welcoming VIPs, there was a large collection of ancient buildings filled with the aroma of old fish.
“Qin Changqing, congratulations on breaking through into the Void
Refinement. From now on, we are both travelers on the same path.”
The voice of Sect Leader Lu from Mysterious Heaven Academy echoed.
Several sect leaders expressed their congratulations to Qin Changqing one after another.
The shock in their eyes was already under control.
However, Tian Tian from behind the Butterfly Cloud Peak Master and another female cultivator were still sneakily examining Qin Changqing, the astonishment and surprise in their eyes had not faded away.”>
“Leaders, the Centennial Agreement has arrived. I know that all of the leaders wish to take me into their sects. However, I, Qin Changqing, have a better proposal. Would the leaders care to see, how about it?”
After several sect leaders congratulated him, Qin Changqing spoke out.
This time, he was direct and to the point, and he didn’t wait for the sect leaders to start talking.
His concise and efficient way of speaking also made the communication more efficient.
While Qin Changqing was speaking, he also took out several jade slips and handed them to the four sect leaders.
The four sect leaders each took one and began to read the content inside the jade slips.
“This method is quite good. If a genius like you, Qin Changqing, were to join our Mysterious Heaven Academy directly, I, Lu, would instead feel like it was a waste.”
The Mysterious Heaven Academy Sect Leader spoke first.
His way of addressing Qin Changqing had also changed, from “young friend” to directly calling him by his name.
But it was his current way of addressing him that truly showed that he accepted Qin Changqing as an equal.
Calling someone a “young friend” was a way of expressing goodwill from a senior perspective, looking down from above.
“Qin Changqing, in the past I always wanted to pull you into our sect. But now it seems that my Tian Luo Sect is indeed a little too small for you. As for your proposal, I agree.”
The Heavenly Luo Sect Master was also very straightforward.
“I also agree.”
The Ten Thousand Beast Sect Master crackly agreed.
Qin Changqing looked at Butterfly Cloud Peak Master.
The rest of them looked at the Butterfly Cloud Peak Master now, too.
Now, the other three second-grade immortal sects had been dealt with, leaving only the Guiyuan Sect.
Butterfly Cloud Peak Master was wholeheartedly trying to pull Qin Changqing into the Guiyuan Sect.
Qin Changqing’s proposal was actually very simple. Given his current strength and methods, he wasn’t planning on joining any sect and devoting himself to others for the time being.
Therefore, Qin Changqing suggested a proposal to form a cooperative relationship.
While Qin Changqing is formidable in elixir and formation tools, the North Region currently lacks many resources. He can refine top-grade treasures or advanced elixirs for several sect leaders in exchange for some resources.
Moreover, there could be better ways to cooperate in the future, such as Qin Changqing willingly offering assistance in case of any treacherous secret territories or prohibition formations.
As for the three second-grade immortal sects, they wouldn’t be an issue. By the time Qin Changqing becomes a Void Refiner, a freakishly powerful one at that, these three sects understand that they would not be able to contain him.
The key is the Guiyuan Sect.
“Qin Changqing, if you’re willing, you can hold the position of Elder in Guiyuan Sect. You will enjoy the treatment of an Elder without any additional commitments. Believe me, it would be beneficial for you at this stage.”
“If you would like, I can arrange for you to marry Tian Tian. She has a first-grade spiritual root, and she has a liking for you.”
Finally, under the gaze of everyone, the Peak Master of Butterfly Cloud Peak spoke.
She still wanted to draw Qin Changqing in, but she was willing to compromise.
She noticed that Qin Changqing didn’t like to be bound, so she only proposed that he hold a formal position.
Indeed, the Peak Master of Butterfly Cloud was considering for Qin Changqing. Because after Qin Changqing’s breakthrough into the Void Refining stage, a four hundred year old Void Refiner would surely cause a sensation.
It’s just a matter of time before the name of Qin Changqing is heard throughout the Vast Wave Realm.
However, if Qin Changqing remains a loner, he could easily become a target of covetous eyes.
Of course, she definitely has personal motives.
It’s a perfectly normal thing.
The Master of Butterfly Cloud Peak still wanted to draw Qin Changqing into the Guiyuan Sect, for she feared that others might make a move on him.
What she didn’t know was that someone was already on their way.
So, after consulting with Tian Tian, she brought Tian Tian here, hoping to use a first-grade spiritual root to win over Qin Changqing. It showed her determination.
Originally, her plan didn’t involve going through so many steps, but after Qin Changqing’s breakthrough into the Void Refining stage, she adjusted her approach.
The Master of Butterfly Cloud Peak’s plans to win over Qin Changqing had been constantly changing.
Initially, she was confident, after all, the Guiyuan Sect was a first-grade immortal sect.
Even if the Heavenly Luo Sect Master used underhanded tactics, the Master of Butterfly Cloud Peak was not too worried.
However, as Qin Changqing continued to grow and reveal his prowess, especially after the battle at Taixuan Peak, the master’s confidence began to dwindle.
Later, Qin Changqing refined top-grade treasures for her, demonstrating an astonishing proficiency in artifact refining again.
Butterfly Cloud Peak Master’s confidence took another hit.
Being the realm’s only first-grade immortal sect, she initially did not want to resort to underhanded tactics.
However, as time passed, her confidence vanished.
Later, the Master of Butterfly Cloud Peak realized that some of the talented female cultivators in her sect have a very good impression of Qin Changqing.
Last time when Qin Changqing visited Guiyuan Sect to refine top-grade treasures for her, even Tian Tian, a genius with a first-grade spiritual root, appeared outside the refining room multiple times, foregoing her seclusion period.
Therefore, the Master of Butterfly Cloud Peak sought Tian Tian’s opinion before proceeding.
When Tian Tian couldn’t articulate her words but did not say no, blushing instead, and eventually accepted the Master of Butterfly Cloud Peak’s arrangements, the master had this current plan in mind.
If Tian Tian had firmly rejected, she naturally wouldn’t have thought of this plan.
Her initial plan was to invite Qin Changqing to join the sect and then to propose that the Sect Leader of Guiyuan Sect take him as a direct disciple once he leaves seclusion. Moreover, the plan also included a proposal for Qin Changqing to marry Tian Tian.
Qin Changqing likes to take concubines, have children, and have more talented descendants, right?
A genius with a first-grade spiritual root, who also has some affection for Qin Changqing. In the opinion of the master of Butterfly Cloud Peak, Qin Changqing shouldn’t refuse.
However…
Qin Changqing unnaturally broke through to the Void Refining stage this time.
He also demonstrated powerful body cultivation realm. This gave the Peak Master of Butterfly Cloud much to ponder..
