"Here, take this as thanks for your help." Qin Xuan took out a small white porcelain bottle and handed it to Ren Qixiang.
Ren Qixiang picked up the bottle and looked at it curiously, finding a sugar bean inside.
"What is this? A sugar bean?" Ren Qixiang said with a hint of amusement.
A single sugar bean as payment, this Qin Xuan was quite funny.
"Sister, do I look like someone with such a deficient brain?" Qin Xuan said, feeling speechless.
"This thing is called a Qi Gathering Pill. It can elevate you from the peak of Houtian to the Xiantian realm. Your bottleneck, which has been stagnant for almost two years, can be broken."
"What!" Ren Qixiang's face was filled with disbelief.
"You're saying this is a pill that can increase one's cultivation level?"
Ren Qixiang was utterly shocked. Pills like this, only heard of in legends, and Qin Xuan actually had one?
And how did he know her cultivation level? And that she had been stuck at a bottleneck for two years!
Ren Qixiang suddenly felt that she couldn't see through Qin Xuan anymore.
Before, she thought he was just a young man with excellent medical skills. Later, she thought he was decent at fighting, probably a Houtian martial artist as well.
But today, Qin Xuan had given her too many shocks.
He could accurately state her cultivation level and give her a pill that could enhance it!
This Qi Gathering Pill was just a very basic one, used to help break through cultivation barriers.
Qin Xuan had spent three million on medicinal materials to refine it.
Qin Xuan now truly understood why the alchemists and pill refiners in Ying Tian's memories didn't mass-produce these pills to make money.
First, the materials were hard to find.
Second, the materials were incredibly expensive.
Third, the success rate was extremely low.
Qin Xuan had prepared sixteen sets of medicinal materials with three million, and only managed to refine one pill.
He had originally kept it for himself, but while treating Ren Qixiang earlier, he noticed she was at a bottleneck, so he generously gave it to her.
"Alright, Miss Ren, if there's nothing else, I'll be going back now. Tantai is about to finish work, and I need to pick her up." With that, he got up and left.
After Qin Xuan left, Ren Qixiang took a while to regain her senses.
Looking at the small bottle in her hand, Ren Qixiang was filled with excitement and joy.
If anyone else had said it was a Qi Gathering Pill, she would definitely not have believed it.
But it was from Qin Xuan!
Qin Xuan had cured an old man who had been ill for decades, and her own abdomen.
Most importantly, he had made the old man and Master Dan look twenty to thirty years younger.
Such skills, she believed, were unmatched in Dragon Country.
Ren Qixiang suppressed her surging emotions and hurried out, slamming the door behind her.
Yujing Tea House.
As soon as Ren Qixiang got out of the car, she ran towards the villa in her high heels.
The two guards at the entrance waved at Ren Qixiang.
"Sister Qixiang, you haven't been here for quite some time. Everyone misses you."
"Get lost, don't bother me. I have important matters. If you delay me, see if Grandpa Shan doesn't break your dog legs." Ren Qixiang pushed the two aside and rushed into the hall.
The two guards, a little embarrassed, let go.
"Old Master, Grandpa Shan, something big has happened, something big has happened!" Ren Qixiang's voice arrived before she did.
By the time Ren Qixiang reached the hall, she was panting heavily.
Shan Bende and Wang Youhai were sipping tea, while Guan Wu stood behind Shan Bende with a cold expression.
Seeing Ren Qixiang gasping for breath, Shan Bende couldn't help but tease,
"Xiang girl, you're so old, yet you're still like a child. Look at Yu Yan, she's only a year older than you, but she's much more mature and sensible than you."
Wang Youhai, seeing Ren Qixiang struggling to breathe, felt a pang of sympathy for his god-granddaughter. He poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, still nagging,
"You girl, why are you always in such a hurry? You're a girl, you should have some dignity. Always attending those noisy meetings and fighting. In my opinion, you should disband it all and help Yu Yan manage some companies, wouldn't that be better?"
Ren Qixiang took the tea and drank it all in one gulp, then gave a silly laugh.
"Hehe, Old Master, you don't understand. Life is more interesting this way."
After speaking, she trotted to Shan Bende and handed him the small bottle Qin Xuan had given her.
"Grandpa Shan, look, what is this."
Shan Bende saw the small porcelain bottle and felt a sense of familiarity.
Wasn't this the same kind of bottle Qin Xuan had used to give him the life-extending pill last time!
Could it be...!
Excited, Shan Bende quickly took it, opened it, and saw a red sugar bean lying inside.
There was also a sweet aroma.
It wasn't the same smell as the rainbow candy.
Shan Bende's face immediately turned angry.
"Xiangxiang, are you playing a trick on Grandpa Shan with a rainbow candy?"
Ren Qixiang quickly explained,
"Grandpa Shan, you're mistaken. This isn't a rainbow candy. It's called a Qi Gathering Pill. Qin Xuan gave it to me. He said this thing can help one increase their cultivation..."
"What!" Not only Shan Bende, but Wang Youhai was also shocked.
Although Wang Youhai was not a martial artist, he had been a very skilled expert in his youth. Coupled with decades spent with Shan Bende, he was well aware of matters concerning martial artists.
Increasing cultivation, breaking through bottlenecks!
Did such pills truly exist in the world?!
If it were before, neither of them would have believed it.
But as Ren Qixiang just said, this was from Qin Xuan!
Who was Qin Xuan?
He was a peerless medical genius who could help people extend their lifespan.
"Grandpa Shan, haven't you been stuck at the peak of Houtian for over ten years? This pill can help you break through to the Xiantian stage."
Shan Bende was deeply moved by Ren Qixiang's words.
It was not in vain that he doted on this girl so much; she was indeed filial.
However, this girl was also at the peak of Houtian, only a single step away from the Xiantian stage.
Seeing Shan Bende hesitate, Ren Qixiang couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong? Grandpa Shan, hurry up and take it."
Shan Bende shook his head.
"No, I can't eat it. I'm already so old. Although I took Qin Xuan's life-extending pill, I can only live for about ten more years at most. But you are different, Xiangxiang. You are still young and can go further. Once you break through to the Xiantian stage and enter the Huajin stage, you will be the next master of our Yujing Tea House!"
Shan Bende's son and grandson had been killed by enemies many years ago.
Although he now had a beloved wife, Shan Bende was no longer able to have children.
And Ren Qixiang was someone he watched grow up.
Furthermore, Ren Qixiang was not Wang Youhai's biological granddaughter.
Many years ago, Ren Qixiang was an infant Wang Youhai found by the roadside. When he found her, there was a character 'Ren' on her clothes. Wang Youhai didn't have her adopt his surname and named her Ren Qixiang.
Shan Bende had no heir, so Ren Qixiang was his last hope.
Seeing the grandfather and granddaughter constantly refusing to take the pill, Wang Youhai understood their deep affection and stepped forward to say,
"Girl, Old Shan, why don't we have someone analyze this pill, see what ingredients it's made of, and then we can refine it ourselves. Perhaps we can even create a commercial empire with it!"
