Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

Chapter 159: Chapter 143: Spending Ten Thousand to Exchange for an Elixir, Surely No One Can Verify the Furnace Vessel Holy Body, Right?

Liu Qingqing returned to the Heavenly Cold Sect’s dwelling when she unexpectedly ran into Zhu Qin.

Though they were once rivals, because of Husband, things were now different…

“Junior Sister Liu…”

“I wish to congratulate you in advance for inheriting the position of the Saintess.”

“In the future, I’ll need more help from you in the Sect.”

Seeing her look over, Zhu Qin cupped her hands and greeted her with a courteous smile.

“Mm.”

Liu Qingqing returned the greeting with a slight nod to say hello, then planned to go look for the Sixth Elder.

However, she was stopped by the other’s words, “Junior Sister, please wait.”

“These Demon Beast Cores are my recent acquisitions.”

“Since the outcome has been decided, if Junior Sister does not disdain them, please accept them.”

Zhu Qin walked up and offered a Storage Pouch.

But Liu Qingqing frowned and did not take it.

“Does Junior Sister still have a grudge against me?”

“Indeed, there has been competition between us before, and some conflicts are hard to avoid.”

“But I believe I’ve never done anything unsavory, and everything was within the rules of the Sect.”

Zhu Qin let out a wry smile when she saw this, speaking somewhat helplessly.

If Young Master Gu hadn’t suddenly intervened, she would have had a good seventy percent confidence of securing the Saintess position.

After all, even though Liu Qingqing’s talent surpassed her own, she had cultivated for several more years, and she had many brothers in the Sect on her side.

As for Yayun, she posed even less of a threat in her eyes.

Yet, after Young Master Gu interfered, everything changed, and Liu Qingqing was in an unbeatable position. There was no need for her to struggle futilely, so she naturally leaned towards the support of the Gu Family.

“You worry too much, Senior Sister.”

“However, it would be better for you to keep these Demon Beast Cores to exchange for points within the Sect.”

Liu Qingqing shook her head slightly, having already learned of the situation from her husband; it was Yayun who was scheming against her, not so much Zhu Qin.

“No harm done.”

“If you could say a few words for me later in the Sect, that would suffice.”

Seeing she did not harbor any resentment towards her, Zhu Qin finally relaxed but again offered the Storage Pouch.

“Has Young Master Gu not told you?”

She had promised him many favors that required the Saintess to speak on her behalf, and Gu Changge had also agreed to let Junior Sister Liu help her resolve them.

As for the price, naturally, it was for her to eliminate Yayun upon returning to the Sect and deliver her head to the Gu Family to exchange for trust and support.

“Alright then.”

Remembering her husband’s words, Liu Qingqing no longer refused.

If she was willing to accept the Demon Beast Cores, Zhu Qin would feel reassured.

Taking the Storage Pouch without examining its contents, she then politely took her leave.

Zhu Qin also let out a sigh of relief, seeing that Junior Sister Liu did not seem to have any hostility towards her. In that case, she would just follow Young Master Gu’s instructions in the future.

She was about to become the Saintess; her power would be greater and her voice more significant.

But some things might not be suitable for her to do personally, and she was a perfect fit for them!

After Liu Qingqing left, a figure suddenly approached.

“Senior Sister Zhu Qin, even though we failed in our bid for the position of the Saintess, was there really a need to rush to give gifts like this?”

Yayun spoke with a hint of mockery.

“The situation is set; why not accept reality?” Zhu Qin did not turn to look at her, simply stated flatly.

The circumstances for Yayun and herself were different, as what she had promised were not Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or positions but rather herself…

And now, it was not necessary to worry too much.

In her view, even failing to become the Saintess, there would still be brothers in the Sect to speak up for her.

But she still valued her face and could not do the things Yayun did.

If she had to choose, she would prefer to end the trial with Yayun’s head…

In Zhu Qin’s heart, Yayun was as good as dead.

However, to lure her out of the Sect after returning, she still turned to face her with a light smile, enduring disgust to falsely praise Yayun’s intelligence as being far superior to her own dire situation.

“If Senior Sister changes her mind, I could actually introduce a few brothers to you.”

Yayun, praised by her, also felt quite pleased with herself. She didn’t like the pretense of false nobility from Zhu Qin and Liu Qingqing. Now, the facts proved she was the clever one!

“…”

Regarding her suggestion, Zhu Qin only smiled without a word, and the two walked off together.

“Sixth-Grade Void Refining Realm Demon Beast Core?”

Elsewhere, when Liu Qingqing found the Sixth Elder in a side hall and handed over all the Demon Beast Cores she had acquired during her trip, including the one given by Zhu Qin in the Storage Pouch, the Elder gave them a brief scan with his Divine Sense and recorded accordingly based on the cores’ grades and quantities.

However, upon seeing a Sixth-Grade core, his brows furrowed slightly.

“Did that Gu Family brat worry that your current points were insufficient and have the Gu Family Elders take down a Sixth-Grade Demon Beast for you?”

After securing the cores, he asked with some surprise.

“No…”

“The beast was slain by my Husband… with our combined effort.”

Liu Qingqing shook her head, but changed her statement mid-sentence.

Old Blind Man had once warned her to avoid exposing her husband’s Innate Divine Abilities, especially that Transcendence Divine Power.

She took it to heart.

However, even if she claimed her husband had slain the Sixth-Grade Demon Beast, the Elder probably wouldn’t believe it.

Unless seen with his own eyes, who would believe that a Mid-Stage Reach Profound Realm Cultivator could kill a Great Demon in the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm?

Even for a Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm Cultivator, slaying a demon of the same realm would be extremely difficult, if not for a powerful Magic Treasure. The odds of victory would be, at best, thirty-seventy or forty-sixty!
