Qin Changqing calmed down and thought about it. Although the requirements were high, it wasn’t a bad thing.
Compared to other cultivators who couldn’t reach the first-grade golden core no matter how hard they tried, he just needed to make an effort to get married and have children. This advantage was simply too great.
It could even be said that the higher the requirements, the better.
The higher the requirements, the greater the gap between him and others after forming a golden core.
“A first-grade, definitely the first-grade!” Qin Changqing shouted in his heart.
The activities of the Qin family were also affecting other families.
Whether they had a good relationship with the Qin family or not.
Those with a bad relationship would naturally be unhappy with the Qin family’s continuous expansion through marriage alliances.
And those with a good relationship? In fact, they wouldn’t be too happy either.
“How… Why are they having another full moon feast? This is the third time this month, right?”
Murong Family.
Murong Ba’s face darkened as he looked at the invitation handed to him by his steward.
Qin Changqing had invited the major families to his recent three marriages, and the Murong family naturally wouldn’t be absent. Moreover, in order to make up for the previous “misunderstanding,” they couldn’t skimp on gifts. Just after they had finished giving three marriage gifts, they had to send full-month gifts soon after.
Giving gifts one time was fine, but sending them continuously? As far as he knew, all the wives in the Qin family had given birth, and these dozens of children were going to send the Murong family into poverty if this continued!
“No, I need to talk to Xue’er, otherwise, the Murong family’s small fortune will be drained!”
While some families were rejoicing, others were worried. City Lord Jin Tianfeng was quite happy, thinking that the more wives Qin Changqing married, the more it proved that he was an old lecher. It was easier to deal with people with flaws.
In fact, he even sent many generous gifts during Qin Changqing’s children’s full moon feast.
Jin Changqing didn’t hesitate and accepted them all.
On the other hand, the situation of the Gongsun family was a bit awkward.
While the Qin family held celebrations, the Gongsun family held funerals. Then both sides struggled for the business channels in Yinxu Prefecture, making the entire area restless.
More importantly, the Qin family recently targeted one of the fairy mines under the control of the Gongsun family.
For cultivators, the attraction of a fairy mine was too strong.
Yinxu Prefecture was only so large, and the few pieces of cake around it were almost monopolized by the five great seventh-grade noble families.
If the Qin family wanted to rise, they would inevitably have to take a piece of the cake.
Now that the Mu family had joined hands with the Qin family, in both public and private matters, Qin Changqing’s first choice among the remaining four families would be the Gongsun family.
“This is too much! Too much!” Inside the Gongsun family, Gongsun Yang, who had just inherited the position of the family head, smashed a cup in anger.
He looked at the people sitting in two rows in the main hall, all of them were his uncles and elders.
As a seventh-grade noble family, the Gongsun family naturally had many issues. In the past, with Gongsun Ming in charge, there wasn’t much trouble. Now that Gongsun Ming was dead, Gongsun Yang wasn’t enough to maintain order alone.
Logically speaking, when the family head died, Gongsun Ming’s brothers would naturally vie for the position.
However, the ancestor’s order placed Gongsun Yang in the position of the new family head.
He knew that the elders in the family must be resentful, but given the current situation of the Gongsun family, he needed their support.
“Uncles, the Qin family is becoming more and more rampant, even aiming at our fairy mine. Do you have any good suggestions?” Gongsun Yang looked at the first person on the left and said, “Eldest uncle, what do you think?”
The eldest uncle opened his eyes and said calmly, “The fairy mine issue might not be big, but if it is taken away by the Qin family, the prestige of the Gongsun family will be completely gone. Considering the current situation of our family, it’s impossible to deal with the Qin family, so we can only ask the ancestor for help.”
Although the Qin family’s power was small, the strength of Qin Changqing coupled with Qin Lingshuang and others was strong enough. If they really fought, the Gongsun family wouldn’t have much hope for victory.
“That’s right, at the moment we can only ask the ancestor for help.”
“Family head, the ancestor loves you the most. If you go to beg for his help, he will definitely agree.”
“The ancestor designated you as the family head, so he must have placed great hopes on you.”
“We, the elders, are counting on you.”
Hearing the half-hearted words of the elders, Gongsun Yang clenched his teeth in anger.
“The ancestor is in seclusion recently.”
“Then there’s nothing we can do.” Gongsun Yang’s eldest uncle shook his head,
“Although the Qin family has few people, their strength is powerful, especially Qin Changqing and Qin Lingshuang. Ordinary Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators can’t defeat them. If the ancestor doesn’t step in, then we can only ask the city lord for help.”
“Family head, since you lead the Gongsun family, your father used to be in charge before as well. Why don’t you go talk to the city lord?” “Yeah, family head, give it a try.”
“Otherwise, our Gongsun family will be completely finished.”
Gongsun Yang:
Looking at the hypocritical elders, Gongsun Yang realized for the first time how great his father was.
Qin Mansion.
In the past few days, Qin Changqing hadn’t been pushing the madams too hard.
Everyone had just given birth, and although cultivators had strong physiques, there was still a limit, right?
Furthermore, the madams also had to cultivate, otherwise their cultivation wouldn’t progress and even with the Life Extension Pill, they couldn’t live long.
Having some free time, Qin Changqing began to focus on the Qin family’s business affairs.
He found that as the speed of the Qin family’s expansion increased, the improvement of the family’s fortune also increased significantly.
This gave him a new hope.
It’s important to know that the improvement of one’s fortune would reward the whole family with awakened aptitude and physique. Qin Changqing had been looking forward to a second physique awakening.
To expand the Qin family, in addition to the gradual expansion of business channels, the main industry was an important indicator of the improvement of family fortune.
For example, a few days ago, the Qin family took over an auction house, and their fortune suddenly soared by more than 500.
Afterward, they opened two more business associations, which added up to nearly 1000 in improvement.
Adding up other miscellaneous improvements, it allowed the Qin family’s fortune to approach the 1.8w mark.
He estimated that once they reached 2w, they would receive some rewards. As for the last 200…
Although having more children could achieve that, Qin Changqing set his sights on another target the Gongsun family’s fairy mine.
This fairy mine was unlike the one in Heiyu Town; it was about ten times larger and was still in the early stages of mining.
If they could acquire it, the Qin family’s assets would double!
At that time, breaking through the 2w barrier in the family fortune wouldn’t be difficult.
It was well known that those with virtue would benefit from the resources in the wilderness.
Now that the Gongsun family had no virtue, it was time for the Qin family to step in.
However, from the outside, the Qin family’s move seemed like they wanted to grow fat in one bite.
Moreover, once the Qin family made a move, the outcome would inevitably affect the entire situation in Yinxu Prefecture.
For safety reasons, Qin Changqing informed Mu Yuntao in advance. The Mu Family had one fairy mine and, considering the peaceful coexistence with the Dayan Dynasty, they wouldn’t be too greedy.
However, Qin Changqing could afford to be greedy. First of all, he just arrived and the family needed to grow. Secondly, his master was a peak master, so even if there was trouble, there would be someone to clean up the mess.
Therefore, Mu Yuntao immediately expressed his full support.
With him there, at least the city lord wouldn’t intervene easily.
The rest was up to the Qin family itself.
Qin Changqing’s actions were very swift.
After communicating with Mu Yuntao, he immediately led people towards the fairy mine..
