40 Chapter 40: Chuangong Hall_1
"Indeed, but there's no such thing as a perfect situation in this world. People experience joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes."
Qin Changqing chuckled softly, "Sometimes imperfection can be a blessing, and a smooth journey does not necessarily lead to greater heights."
"Yes, Big Brother is right!" Xi'er agreed, nodding her head, "So what about Sister Murong and Sister Xiaoxiao? Why didn't they come down the mountain with you?"
"Ahem, well, they... um, the Grand Competition isn't over yet, so they still have matters to attend to," Qin Changqing said, coughing lightly.
Murong Xue, on the other hand, had agreed with him to discuss the matter after the Sect's Grand Competition.
As for Zhao Xiaoxiao, she's just a little girl who hasn't grown up yet, Qin Changqing didn't think about finding her a Daoist couple so soon.
Qin Changqing pondered if he should formally propose marriage to the Murong Family in Yinxu Prefecture. By rights, he should. He had formally proposed marriage for all the wives he had married into the Qin family, and that was a principle.
But the problem was that this time was different from the others. In the past, Shu Tian's family didn't dare to say anything, but the Murong Family was different.
Moreover, Yinxu Prefecture was far away from the Lingxiao Sect, and there were many cultivation families there. Each family had its own rules, and this matter should be considered as a matter between the Qin and Murong families, as well as involving the Gongsun Family that was in a marriage alliance too. But now, the Qin family seemed to be the weakest of them all.
His strength still wasn't enough!
"By the way, where's Bai Yan?" he asked doubtfully.
Su Yue'er replied, "Sister Bai Yan is in seclusion, and she says she is about to break through to the Tier 10 Cultivating Qi stage."
"So that's the case." Qin Changqing's face lit up with joy. Bai Yan's previous failure to establish her foundation had caused her cultivation to regress, damaging her foundation. Although she had later taken elixirs to mend it, her state of mind was the most crucial aspect.
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one is afraid of a well rope for ten years. Many people were haunted by the Heart Devil after failing to establish their foundation.
However, seeing Bai Yan soon attempting to reach Tier 10 Cultivating Qi stage showed that she had completely unraveled her mental knots.
With the protection of the Qin family's fortune and the Foundation Establishment Elixir, it should be no problem for her.

In nearly a month away from the Qin family, fortune had risen slightly, mainly due to the development of the Qin family.
On the other hand, Shu Tian and Wang Xiaoxiao's bellies had swelled up, which was the result of the hard work they had put in before the Grand Competition. Finally, their efforts paid off after a month.
However, it was still far from enough. With so few people, the Qin family had a long way to go to grow and strengthen.
That night, Su Yue'er came into Qin Changqing's room.
Although there was no distinction between wives and concubines in the Qin family, Su Yue'er was the first wife, and she took care of the family every day. The other wives could understand her love for her husband.
Xi'er still remembered the scene when she first came to the Qin family and saw Yue'er squatting by the garden wall, thinking that Yue'er was usually gentle and weak, but in bed, she was quite 'ferocious'.
But ever since Qin Changqing reached the Establishing Foundation Stage, he would add a layer of barrier in the room before doing anything at night. It wasn't to guard against attacks, but rather to soundproof the room. Although Qin Mansion was big, there were many people now, and many maids, all of whom were fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls in the heat of their youth.
In this world, fifteen was the age when girls were supposed to get married, and many families had already begun to arrange marriages for them.
It was the same for the Qin family. People from nearby families always tried to send their daughters to Qin Changqing. They had a simple idea: if they could establish a relationship with an Immortal like Qin, they wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing in the future.
This wasn't about being money-minded; it was just the simple thoughts of ordinary people. Life was hard, and they had to think realistically.
However, Qin Changqing had made it clear that he would not marry ordinary people, so the girls sent to him were either sent back or stayed on as maids.
Having too many maids wasn't a good thing, either. Qin Changqing's daily life was taken care of by his wives, and the maids mainly looked after them. But with young girls, their feminine hormones were bound to surge. Qin Changqing was handsome and had an excellent temperament - it was impossible for them not to like him.Qin Changqing was quite troubled about this, really, but his wives didn't seem to mind.
One day passed after another.
On the fourth day after Qin Changqing returned home, Bai Yan successfully exited her seclusion, her cultivation returning to land immortals... Oops! Cultivating Qi peak.
"Hmm, your realm is very solid, it seems that you will be able to re-establish your foundation in a few months," Qin Changqing said with a smile.
"I don't have any problems with cultivation, but I'm a little worried," Bai Yan leaned against Qin Changqing, frowning, "What if I fail again..."
"Don't worry, I'll infuse you with some good luck tonight, and you'll definitely succeed."
Bai Yan's face turned red.
She was not a teenage girl anymore.
Of course, she understood what Qin Changqing's so-called infusion of good luck meant.
She blushed and said, "Wait until I give birth to one, then I'll establish my foundation."
As Qin Changqing's wife, she really wanted to have a child.
However, her body didn't seem to be that easy to conceive. Qin Changqing had cultivated her land a lot before the Grand Competition but still couldn't get her pregnant.
When she saw that her sisters had children by their sides and envied the feeling of blood connection, Bai Yan couldn't help but be envious.
"Eldest Apprentice Brother, you can't leave tonight."
Bai Yan broke through and wanted to rise, but in the evening, her rise turned into a pout, and she was once again defeated by Qin Changqing.
As the saying goes, a small parting wins a new marriage. Qin Changqing closed the door and cultivated his land every day. When he reacted, three days had passed since the end of the Grand Competition.
"Eldest Apprentice Brother, what are you doing?" Baiyun Mountain, as the "messenger," came to Qin's house with a speechless expression on his face, "Our master clearly told you to return to the mountain immediately after the Grand Competition, but why are you still here?" contemporary romance
"Well, I was entangled in mundane matters."
Qin Changqing was a little embarrassed, but it was true that he was entangled in mundane matters, as he was busy making babies.
"By the way, how did the Grand Competition go?"
Speaking of this, Baiyun Mountain immediately became excited.
There wasn't much suspense in the Grand Competition overall; when Qin Changqing came out of it, the outcome was almost set. The only surprise was Qin Lingshuang.
After her breakthrough, Sister Lingshuang opened up her spiritual power. In just five days, she had challenged several disciples in succession, even defeating ones at Tier 10 Foundation Establishment, which caught everyone's attention.
Even Mu Qingyun, who had given up on recruiting people, couldn't resist trying to poach someone from Xuanyi Peak again.
"Sister Qin is really amazing. In the last battle before the Grand Competition, she fought against a Tier Foundation Establishment Peak Senior Apprentice Brother from Luoxia Peak with her Tier 8 Foundation Establishment cultivation and defeated him, successfully entering the top ten."
"Sister Lingshuang made it into the top ten?"
Qin Changqing smiled slightly.
Not bad.
There was quite a difference between being in the top ten and not being in it.
It's like people always care about the first place, but nobody pays much attention to the second and third.
Those in the top ten could listen to the Sect Leader's lectures, which was completely different from being in the eleventh place.
"Let's go, Eldest Apprentice Brother. Master said you should go to Chuangong Hall now," Baiyun Mountain urged in the end.
Qin Changqing nodded, explained a few things to his wives, and then returned to the Lingxiao Sect with Baiyun Mountain.
They received many strange looks from other disciples along the way.
Although the Grand Competition had ended, there were still many rumors about Qin Changqing.
Qin Changqing walked calmly, smiling and greeting his junior apprentices along the way.
When they arrived at Chuangong Hall, they entered and found an old man with white hair, squinting his eyes and sleeping at the door.
