Ancient Strengthening Techniques
Chapter 59 - Qing Shui's Lust
Qing Shui would always stay in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal until the very last second, before he was forcibly expelled by her. With such a rare treasure, he did not want to waste even the slightest bit of time!
Over the past few days, there had been no movement from the younger generation of Hundred Miles City. Qing Shui was surprised, even though he felt a bit strange, but he would not waste his time thinking about the reason behind it. He spent his time fully focused on cultivating and brushing his knowledge on the various spiritual herbs he had planted into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
Now, in its spatial region, there was already a large patch of vegetation. Green, yellow, red, different colors together formed a beautiful scene, similar to a tourist attraction in the once barren land of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
Spiritual herbs were no longer mere seedlings, with the effect of time dilation of spatial space aiding their growth, they displayed a strong sense of vitality. From Qing Shui's estimation, aside from the effect of time dilation, he strongly believed that/it's the mystical water of the crystal pool that seemed to be saturated with boundless spiritual qi, also had something to do with it.
From the experience he gained in the Hundred Medicinal Garden, he learned that/it will always be a spiritual herb that withers and dies. However, it was very surprising that he judged that/it was the vitality spirit that was emitted seemed to indicate that/it was a herb that he had planted here into the spatial realm would not wither and die.
Looking at the large set of green plants, Qing Shui could feel a calmness in his heart. It was as if he had been courageous with the growth of herbs, and confidence in his knowledge. He had something to rely on, comparable to the rich young people of a large clan.
In fact, this enormous source of wealth, would require at least 10 years before they were fully mature.10 years beyond meant 1,000 years in the spatial realm. A large patch of spiritual spices that had turned 1,000 years old, how could anyone produce such a large amount of herbs? Just thinking about it caused Qing Shui to be filled with endless longing and excitement.
He should not count the chickens before hatching. Shaking her head to clear her mind, Qing Shui went to inspect the black-colored tree branch he had planted on the ground before. He found that/it apart from the surface of the branches became slimmer and moist, there was no other change. Frowning his brows, he decided to continue leaving it on the ground and watering it. Qing Shui wasn't sure if the tree branches or roots of these black-colored trees would be able to germinate or flower or fruit.
The Qing Clan's Medicine Shop business was relatively slow, not too busy. The majority of their clients were mainly apothecaries and spiritual herb shop owners from Hundred Miles City, who would come to buy the ingredients.
In addition to the shopkeeper, there were also citizens from Hundred Miles City who were sick and seeking medical help. In addition to these two types of customers, they also had customers who wanted to purchase rare plants that could not be found in spiritual herb shops or pharmacies.
In addition to selling spiritual herbs, the Qing Clan Medicinal Shop had also built up their supply by growing their own herbs and buying them from others as well. A portion of their supply also came from people who climbed mountains to gather herbs, or those who had cultivated the herbs themselves. Of course, the price to buy herbs was substantially lower than their selling price, as the Qing Clan still needed to further process the herbs before they became refined products that would then be sold.
Moreover, the Qing Clan Medicine Shop also had a trade agreement with Heavenly River City. They would usually gnaw at the rare and precious plants that the Heavenly City lacked in exchange for the rare and precious herbs that Hundred Miles City lacked. It was a win-win situation!
Speaking of the Heavenly River City, Qing Shui had involuntarily reminded Lan Yan`er, the woman whose cousin Qing Hu was unceasingly yearning for. Even though Lan Yan`er had completed her puberty, had the figure of a mature and completely charming woman, she could not help but feel that/that she was still there except for a child.
Qing Shui had always felt that/that this woman was just a problem.
The reason why the Qing Clan could have a trade agreement with Heavenly River City, a city that was even bigger and more prosperous than Hundred Miles City many times, was, it was because the Qing Clan had a very close relationship with the Hua Clan of Heavenly River City!
The clan leader for the Hua Clan once saved his life by Qing Luo. The relationship between him and Qing Luo was very close, and when they hit her, they decided to become foster brothers. Back then, they didn't ask too much about each other's backgrounds, they only knew that/that one was from Heavenly River City, and the other was from Qing Village.
Just a moment later, when they visited each other during a festive event, Qing Luo discovered that/that her sworn brother Hua Sui Yun was from the Hua Clan, she was from the Hua Clan, which was one of the wealthiest clans in the Heavenly River City, and was now the current clan leader of the Hua Clan.
Although the Hua Clan could be considered a powerful clan in the Heavenly River City, there were still many other clans that exceeded them in status and power. After all, people like Heavenly River City were not something that a Hundred Miles City could compare to.
Xiantian and Houtian, one was heaven and the other was earth. Qing Luo was at the peak of the Houtian, at the 10th grade of the Martial Commander Realm. As long as he could take a small step forward, stepping into the Xiantian doorway, he would instantly transform from a sparrow into a phoenix. Although it was a pity, after all in the World of the Nine Continents there were many people with the same cultivation level as Qing Luo. How could it be so easy to take that last step? Estimates of the possibility of being able to enter the Xiantian realm, not even 1 in 10,000!
Ever since Hua Sui Yun broke through to the Xiantian realm, he left all the clan matter handling to his son. He repeatedly confirmed that/it was in the future, regardless of how trivial the matter required by the Qing Clan was, the Hua Clan had to do their best to help. As a result, a trade deal appeared, and most of the money flowed into the Qing Clan's money chest.
The relationship between the two clans was very close. Hua Sui Yun had long treated Qing Yi as her own daughter. Thus, the business affairs between the Qing Clan and the Hua Clan were both handled by Qing Yi.
’’Mother, in the future when you visit Heavenly River City, can you take me? I want to see the view of the Heavenly River City! ” Qing Shui excitedly exclaimed after knowing the details of the relationship that existed between their two families.
’OK, I will introduce Grandpa Yun to you!’ ‘Qing Yi smilingly replied.
” Right, by the way, this spiritual herb is in the recent batch they sent from Heavenly River City. What kind of spiritual potion is this? ” Qing Shui shaking with excitement. Even though he roughly knew the answer to his question, he still decided to ask her for confirmation.
’’ This is a Four Leaf Flower. This spiritual herb only grew in the Heavenly River Valley of the Heavenly River City. Although it looks ordinary, the effects and benefits contained in it are amazing. This was one of the important ingredients when concocting elixirs for serious illnesses, and in all of the Hundred Miles Cities, only the Qing Clan possessed this potion. ’
’As expected, it is a Four Leaf Flower. Qing Shui was extremely excited, as if he had met an old friend. He finally found something familiar in this world! ” Qing Shui, holding the Four Leaves Flower in his hand, and examining it closely.
’Four-Leaf Flower, this was one of the most trashy spiritual herbs when Qing Shui played [Western Fantasy], returning to his previous world. To think that/it was considered a valuable resource here in Hundred Miles City. Despite this, he was unsure of which class the Four Leaves Flower fell under. All he knew was that/it was for spiritual herbs that were ranked 3rd and higher, only alchemists were capable of concocting pills from them. ’
Qing Yi would visit the Heavenly River City twice a year. Each trip will take at least a month. The first visit is at the beginning of the year, and the second is during the autumn. Qing Yi had just returned from her visit to the Heavenly River City, and the time until the next trip was about half a year.
” Mother, do you know which is the strongest clan that is here in Hundred Miles City? ” Qing Shui asked as he helped Qing Yi to store the batch of spiritual herbs from Heavenly River City.
??? On the surface, the strongest clans here were: Shi Clan, Situ Clan, Yu Clan, Ding Clan. But to the legendary cultivators of the Xiantian realm, no one knew how many were there. But how many of the Xiantian cultivators were willing to stay here in such a small town? The larger and stronger cities all offered unimaginable wealth and benefits to entice Xiantian cultivators to join them. ” Qing Yi slowly explained.
” Boss Yu He Inn, the one you met earlier was someone who belonged to the Yu Clan! ” Qing Yi, with a clear laugh on her face, continued to say, while the memories of Yu He pinching Qing Shui's cheeks floated within her mind.
” Oh! ” A thought suddenly emerged from the naughty young girl who was slightly older than him, the one who kept teasing her earlier. The body is very well proportioned, with round breasts that are not too large. Its slim frame has the right amount of meat that is best to hug tightly while sleeping at night. A slightly mature face, which had a hint of mischief in its dazzling eyes was extremely seductive. Taste like that, of course he had to taste it.
Qing Shi Zhuang was cold and aloof, while Yu had a more graceful and flirtatious touch. One was an ice princess while the other could only be described as a naughty kitten.
It takes 100 years of karma and destiny to be able to meet in the same boat, while 1,000 years of karma and destiny are needed to share the same pillow. Hehehe, meeting with me is equivalent to 1,000 years of karma and destiny, both of them should not think of escaping. Qing Shui rubbed his nose as he fantasized about hugging these two perfect specimens of women to sleep every night, making his heart itch with anticipation as if he could not wait to immediately push them.
Qing Yi, who was standing next to him felt puzzled by Qing Shui's sudden change in expression, while he suddenly felt a strong urge to kick his son.
