God-Slaying Blade

Qin Jue pointed to the mountain of spiritual materials piled on the ground and chuckled, "I'd like to ask for your help, Elder Huang, to refine all of these into pills. You can deduct a portion of the reward from these materials as payment for the pill refining. What do you think?"

Huang Qiuyun said in astonishment, "Young friend, these spiritual materials are indeed good, but with your current strength, ordinary pills are useless to you."

Qin Jue smiled and said, "To be honest, Elder Huang, I intend to use these spiritual materials to refine pills to train the guards in my household. Elder Huang is the most skilled alchemist in Fengzhou City. With the same spiritual materials, you will surely be able to refine pills of even higher quality."

Of course, if Elder Huang is unwilling to help, then just pretend I didn't say anything.

Huang Qiuyun felt helpless. Qin Jue had already spoken, how could he not help?

He stopped refining ordinary-grade pills a long time ago; the pills he refines now are at least of the mortal-grade earth-level pills.

If it's below the lowest grade, it'll lower your status!

"Heh, this is nothing, just a small matter. I've been itching to make them myself lately. Once I've finished refining them, I'll have Huang Gang deliver them to you, young friend." Huang Qiuyun waved his hand, collecting all the pills on the ground.

"Grandpa, this is my older brother, you can't accept any benefits from him," Huang Gang grinned.

Huang Qiuyun rolled her eyes: "Did I say I wanted any benefits? Besides, don't try to establish connections with me. How could you possibly call someone like Young Friend Qin your elder brother?"

Huang Gang pouted and said, "Grandpa, don't underestimate me. Although I don't have much talent in alchemy, I can run errands for my older brother. Besides, I have a lot of friends and acquaintances, and there will always be times when I can help him. For example, the Frost Condensation Pearl and the other five Fire Spirit Crystals that my brother is still missing, as long as I use my connections, I'm sure I can find them quickly!"

Huang Qiuyun snorted, "Don't just talk the talk. If you really have the ability, then go and try. If you can really find everything that young friend Qin needs, perhaps young friend Qin will really acknowledge you as his younger brother."

Qin Jue's lips twitched slightly. Were these two, grandfather and grandson, putting on a show in front of him?

However, Huang Gang today is indeed somewhat different from before.

"Old Huang is right. If you can really help me find ten Frost Condensation Pearls and five Fire Spirit Crystals, I will accept you as my brother," Qin Jue said with a faint smile.

A glint flashed in Huang Qiuyun's eyes, and she kicked Huang Gang, saying, "Young friend Qin has spoken, what are you still standing here for? Hurry up and go."

"Hehe, grandson's going right now! Big brother, just wait for my news!" Huang Gang excitedly ran out of the yard.

After Huang Gang left, Huang Qiuyun sighed softly and cupped his hands towards Qin Jue, saying, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, young friend Qin. My grandson, though useless, is my only grandson. I am old and don't have much time left. If possible, I hope you can look after him and spare his life. I promise you, for the rest of my life, I will do my best to fulfill all your requests! Besides, if you agree, I will offer you a generous gift!"

Qin Jue raised an eyebrow and smiled in surprise, "Elder Huang, you are the most respected retainer of the City Lord's Mansion. Even if you were to entrust your son to someone, shouldn't you do so to the City Lord's Mansion? Why did you come to me, an outsider?"

Moreover, he almost killed Huang Gang before.

Therefore, Qin Jue really couldn't understand Huang Qiuyun's thoughts.

Huang Qiuyun's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a low voice, "As long as I am here, he will not be bullied anywhere. But if I am gone, who would be willing to support a good-for-nothing? After that day, this kid seemed to have realized something and was especially respectful to young friend Qin."

I thought that if he could serve under Qin Xiaoyou, it might help him grow a bit.

Even if he's not of much use, as long as he stays by Young Friend Qin's side, with Young Friend Qin's influence, he certainly won't dare to act recklessly anymore. In that case, he can at least live a little longer.

Qin Jue narrowed his eyes slightly; Huang Qiuyun's thoughts were indeed far-reaching.

Indeed, if Huang Qiuyun were to die, Huang Gang might not even be able to keep her inheritance warm...

"Why does Elder Huang dare to trust me?" Qin Jue asked with a smile.

Huang Qiuyun laughed and said, "Young friend Qin may seem ruthless, but he is actually very clear about his gratitude and grudges. Such a temperament is worth my gamble. Secondly, young friend Qin is rebuilding the Qin family, which is exactly when he needs people. Although that kid is not very useful, he is not entirely without value. This is the best opportunity for me to make a choice! Thirdly, this kid has offended a lot of people before, and only young friend Qin can protect him in the future. Hehe, of course, the most important point is that this kid himself wants to recognize young friend as his elder brother, which saves me a lot of trouble."

Qin Jue was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, as long as he doesn't act as recklessly as before, I agree to Elder Huang's request. I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as the Qin family exists, we can at least ensure he has enough to eat and wear!"

Huang Qiuyun's eyes trembled, and he bowed excitedly, saying, "Thank you very much, young friend! With your words, I am relieved."

As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Qiuyun opened her right hand and a bottle of pills appeared.

"Young friend, your talent is extraordinary, and your ambition soars to the heavens. You will surely be aiming for the Spirit Realm in the future. I happen to have a Martial Spirit Pill here, which can lend you a helping hand!"

Huang Qiuyun presented it with both hands, showing her sincere gratitude.

Qin Jue didn't stand on ceremony, took the pill bottle, and smiled, "Elder Huang, don't you plan to break through to the next realm yourself?"

Huang Qiuyun laughed and said, "Let's talk about it when we're about to die. I don't want to take any risks right now. In this Nine Provinces Martial Dynasty, every year many Grandmasters at the peak attempt to break through to the Spirit Realm, and nine out of ten die. I'm afraid too."

Qin Jue smiled and said, "That's true, only by cherishing life can one live long. I'll accept this Martial Spirit Pill. I'll also keep my promise to Elder Huang in mind. I'll take my leave now."

"Okay," Huang Qiuyun said with a smile, cupping her hands in greeting.

Not long after Qin Jue left, Sima Xiang walked over with a smile.

"Old Master Huang, did Young Master Qin come by just now?" Sima Xiang asked with a smile.

Huang Qiuyun smiled and said, "Yes, I came to exchange some spiritual materials with this old man. If Brother Sima had arrived a little earlier, we could have chatted for a bit."

Sima Xiang chuckled and said, "It seems that Young Master Qin has truly let go of that unpleasantness from before. That's good, that's good indeed. Nowadays, we can't afford to offend this person, no matter who else we might offend."

"Yes. He was too proud and arrogant, but he couldn't withstand a single blow from him. It would have been better to admit defeat..." Huang Qiuyun chuckled.

"Haha, that's right."

……

Tianxianglou is the largest restaurant in Fengzhou City.

More than twenty young people were gathered in a large private room.

"Young Master Huang, what's the matter that you called us here in such a hurry? My father has recently given me special instructions to behave myself."

"Yes, lately I've only dared to play with the maid at home, I don't even dare to step out the door."

Huang Gang, sitting in the host's seat, rolled his eyes: "Look at you guys, so pathetic! Is my older brother really that scary?"

Everyone was stunned. Young Master Huang's older brother?

Isn't Huang Gang the only son of the Huang family? Where did this older brother come from?

Even if they were, they weren't afraid of Huang Gang's older brother!
