Rascal Pig, true to its nature of frequent roaming in the mountains, brought over the few missing dicinal ingredients Su Pan’er needed by the second day.
As previously agreed, Su Pan’er gave it the at lingzhi mushroom.
Unexpectedly, Rascal Pig threw a tantrum, insisting on having more.
Su Pan’er thought for a mont, then suddenly realized sothing crucial.
"Rascal Pig, have you finished digging up the treasure you ntioned last ti?"
Rascal Pig, which was initially rolling on the ground, tensed up. Flipping to its feet, it squinted at Su Pan’er, "Why are you asking this?"
"Do you still want my help in digging up the treasure? And how did you know there was treasure inside?"
Rascal Pig’s eyes spun around for quite a while before it managed to squeeze out a response.
"Heh heh heh, that’s a secret! The Heavenly Secret cannot be revealed, I... I can’t tell you!"
Actually, it had found that the few treasure sites the Pixiu left were too hard to dig, so it went to the Qin Family’s ancestral hall to settle accounts with that old fellow.
Unexpectedly, the Buddha statue had truly beco a Buddha statue, devoid of the old fellow’s aura.
It didn’t know if the old fellow had deliberately hidden knowing that it would co, or if he had really left forever.
It could still rember the dying aura on him.
Looking at the lifeless statue before it, and unable to feel its aura, left it profoundly confused. It returned to the mountains, initially planning to return to its birthplace, but it couldn’t bear to leave the little woman it had always been protecting!
Being in a quandary, it rembered that the lifespan of ordinary humans is just a few short decades, that it was still young and could afford to wait, so it sneakily slipped back!
"Fine, you don’t have to tell ."
Naturally, Su Pan’er had no idea what it was thinking, instead, she decided to tempt it: "Look, this at lingzhi mushroom is alive. If you swallow it into your inner world, it will die. It’s better to let it grow slowly. You could consu so, and then let it regrow. This way, wouldn’t you have an endless supply of at lingzhi mushrooms?"
Rascal Pig’s eyes rolled around.
Upon reflection, she was right!
"You’re just coaxing . Even if this at lingzhi mushroom can grow, you’ll still use it. Humph!"
"I promise you, next ti I need to use it, I will definitely seek your permission before doing so, okay?"
"Is that your word?"
"That’s my word!"
"Alright then!"
Rascal Pig was happy now: "After this, leave this thing to to watch over, I assure you it won’t be lost! Heh heh, heh heh heh..."
Its lewd laugh made Su Pan’er feel uneasy.
But at present, she didn’t have a better solution.
How could one rob every day and guard against robbers every day?
She could only hope that it would leave so for her when she needed to use it.
With all the dicinal ingredients ready, Su Pan’er earnestly boiled the spiritual liquid, allowing Rascal Pig to help watch the fire when she was tired.
Under a string of promises from Su Pan’er, Rascal Pig was full of motivation.
After boiling it continuously for three days and three nights, the spiritual liquid was finally ready.
When Qin Yi learned of Su Pan’er’s decision, he outright rejected it.
"Pan’er, I want to wait for you. Let’s advance together, cross the Great Perfection together, okay?"
"Absolutely not!"
Su Pan’er glared at him: "Once you cross the Great Perfection, your strength can double. Even when I’m not by your side, you can protect yourself. More so, you can protect and our child. Are you trying to shirk your responsibilities?"
"I... I didn’t an that..."
Qin Yi stuttered, unable to explain himself properly.
He had already heard from Pan’er, that once one breaks through the realm, their life span can reach 150 years. If well maintained, they could even live up to 200 years.
He didn’t want to live alone. He wanted to advance with Pan’er. Why didn’t she understand his thoughts?
How could Su Pan’er not understand?
It was precisely because she understood that she insisted on him advancing.
"Do you know the value of this spiritual liquid? If the outside world knew of it, they might even expend a whole country’s strength to obtain it. I’m pregnant right now and can’t use it. If you don’t want to waste my efforts, take off your clothes and jump in!"
With words said to this extent, Qin Yi gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Alright, I’ll jump! Pan’er, whatever you want to do, I will try my best."
Even if it took my entire life to fulfill this vow!
Having said this, he took off his clothes and jumped in.
Looking at Qin Yi, who was entirely subrged in the spiritual liquid, Su Pan’er felt a flood of emotions in her heart.
She didn’t know whether her decision today was right or wrong!
By the next morning, when Qin Yi and Su Pan’er left the tunnel, Qin Yi had successfully broken through the barrier and advanced to the Innate Realm, which put Su Pan’er’s mind at ease.
Without caring for rest, she began preparing Qin Yi’s traveling items.
Winter clothes were a must, as well as socks, things to use and eat on the road, people to serve him, and aspects of everything else. She knew that if Qin Yi handled it personally, there would be no mistakes, but she still couldn’t help but take it into her own hands once.
The news of Qin Yi becoming the County Magistrate of Changze County spread quickly, and people from far and wide knew and ca over to congratulate him.
The Clan Leader brought over the winery’s share, and the silver money that Su Pan’er earned also brought over several youths from the Qin Clan. He said that they were to serve Qin Yi.
These people, either have studied in the clan school with Qin Yi, or they were seen growing up by Qin Yi.
Choosing who to take was a dilemma.
Qin Yi then sought Su Pan’er’s advice.
Su Pan’er thought for a while: "When you’re out there, the most important thing is to have people who can work well with you. Familiarity isn’t really the point, just don’t choose people with great ambitions and prevent any wolves from entering."
After a bit of consideration, Qin Yi went out and picked two clan mbers.
To his surprise, that night, Old Qin brought over Qin Hao, Qin Bin, Qin Hua, and Qin Hui, leaving Qin Yi in a difficult situation.
After much contemplation, considering that Qin Hua is Qin Yueshi’s eldest son, and Qin Yueshi was close to Pan’er, coupled with Shuang’er’s situation, he decided to keep Shuang’er’s big brother, Qin Hua.
Old Qin tried to push his fourth brother, Qin Hao on him, but Qin Yi adamantly refused.
Seeing Old Qin leading the remaining few people away with a stern face, Qin Yi couldn’t help but sigh a few tis and grumbled.
"I had a plan, to choose two from the Su Family and two more from the Qin Family. I also intended to keep Ke’er by my side, partly to teach him knowledge and partly to let him see the world."
The number of people he could take was limited, but now three of the slots were taken by the Qin family.
Although Qin Yi only spoke half his thoughts, Su Pan’er understood it all.
"Let it be! I will talk to the Su Family."
Su Pan’er had planned to find ti to visit her grandfather, but then soone from the Su Family ca.
