Chapter 312: Chapter 310: Miscellaneous Affairs on Qingsu Island (Part 2)

"Master, it’s about the Spirit Medicine business, of course. Because of your unexpected Reincarnation, all the Low Tier Spirit Medicine is now being cultivated by Su Hongshang."

"But she didn’t join the Spirit Stone profit-sharing plan you previously laid out."

"She just takes a lot of Tier Five and Tier Four Spirit Medicine, refines them into Elixirs, and sells them at auction."

When Su Qing first heard this, he thought Su Hongshang must look down on those Spirit Stones.

But it turned out Su Qing had been too shortsighted.

She was only after his Tier Five Spirit Medicine.

’Let her do as she pleases.’ Su Qing didn’t care much about those Spirit Medicines anyway.

Why would he care about something he could get as much of as he wanted?

Still, it seemed Su Hongshang hadn’t changed a bit.

’What a spendthrift.’ Tier Five Elixirs... Su Hongshang had even said herself that she wanted to try refining Tier Five Elixirs.

This meant she had never successfully refined them before.

So using Tier Five Spirit Medicine for Alchemy would definitely result in a lot of waste.

"What else?" Su Qing asked.

"As for Tang Dan, he seems too focused on your business and hasn’t been cultivating much. He’s still at the Foundation Establishment level."

"For some reason, after Luo Xingya entered Foundation Establishment, her cultivation speed has been noticeably faster than even most geniuses."

"Your master is now at the Ninth-Layer Golden Core, your martial uncle is at the First-Layer Nascent Soul, and your senior martial sister is at the Third-Layer Golden Core."

"Your junior martial sister arrived this past month. She doesn’t seem to cultivate much or relax, but she has been constantly studying Artifact Refining."

"Li Qingsha has finished her studies at the Zhengxuan Sect and is now cultivating. She’s only at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Level; her cultivation speed is very slow."

"Lin Baishu was taken as a disciple by your martial uncle, You Yanhan, and is now at Qi Cultivation Perfection."

"A force from the Three Yang Temple, a top power in the Abyss Sea, has established a presence on the island. I felt this would be beneficial to you, Master, so I made the decision before you took over management of Qingsu Island."

"Currently, there are two people on the island who have received an Immortal’s inheritance. One is Song Zhining, whom you know, Master. The other is a woman named Jiang Qingyue. She is currently a Loose Cultivator."

"She received the Wanshui Immortal’s inheritance and is now lying low on your island."

"..." Su Qing was a little stunned.

’Xiaoqing, you can even figure out who received an Immortal’s inheritance? As expected of something from my Synthesizer. Truly impressive.’

"Song Zhining has already handed over the Immortal Scripture to you, Master," Xiaoqing added.

Su Qing froze, looking at Xiaoqing on his shoulder. "Are you sure? Song Zhining would hand it over on his own?"

Su Qing couldn’t believe it. This was an Immortal’s inheritance.

"Because of the Immortal Scripture, I negotiated on your behalf, Master. In exchange for handing over the Immortal Scripture, he could obtain the right to reside permanently on the island."

"Song Zhining is currently willing to make the exchange, but the final decision still rests with you, Master."

"But Song Zhining has already given us the Immortal Scripture."

Su Qing couldn’t help but shake his head at Xiaoqing.

He himself had already obtained an Immortal Scripture.

’Song Zhining is really something, to have also gotten an Immortal Scripture.’

"Xiaoqing, what is Jiang Qingyue’s Cultivation level?"

"Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, Master."

"What? Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer?" Su Qing said in surprise. ’She obtained an Immortal Scripture at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer?’

’It seems the trial back then wasn’t about strength, but about whether a Cultivator possessed a certain unique quality, huh?’

"Yes, Master. However, I have not made contact with her yet. She is being extremely cautious and has been staying in an inn on Qingsu Island."

"Hmm..."

"Leave her be," Su Qing said after a moment of thought. ’I already have one Immortal Scripture, and that’s enough for me to cultivate very well.’

’This means that in the future, I will always have an incredibly powerful Cultivation Method.’

’Synthesizing multiple Immortal Scriptures would just be patching up minor weaknesses.’

’But as long as I synthesize it multiple times, any so-called "weakness" in a single Immortal Scripture is nothing but a joke.’

"Have you looked into her character?" Su Qing asked softly.

"Jiang Qingyue’s character?" Xiaoqing shook its head. "Master, the human heart is something I cannot calculate, I’m afraid."

"But based on her past experiences, Jiang Qingyue’s personality is likely to be rather cold and apathetic. She may even harbor some resentment toward you, Master."

"..."

Su Qing was speechless. "Explain yourself."

"Because she is one of the mortals who was caught in your self-detonation, Master. When you self-detonated, many people were affected."

"Although the Immortal Qi you later released saved her family members initially, they were trapped under the rubble, unable to escape. Her family... died."

"Although she gained a blessing from this disaster and received the aptitude for Cultivation, the Cultivator she resents... is you."

Su Qing chuckled. "Let her resent me. I’m not afraid. If she can ever catch up to me, it would only prove that I’ve been slacking off."

’Reaching the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer in just three short years, and even getting an Immortal’s inheritance... What kind of protagonist template is that?’

A thread of doubt couldn’t help but form in Su Qing’s mind.

’Why hasn’t some massive benefit just fallen into my lap?’

’The biggest benefit I got was the fortune of a Nascent Soul Master, and the things that came after.’

’Even the Immortal’s inheritance was something the Celestial Dao arranged for me directly.’

’It’s not like I got it through sheer luck.’

’Besides, this Immortal Scripture was obtained through a trade with the Celestial Dao.’

"Looks like I’m not one of those people with immense luck after all," Su Qing said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"Right, go communicate with that Jiang Qingyue. Doesn’t she resent me? Give her a chance to challenge me. But the Immortal Scripture will be the entry fee for that challenge. If she’s willing to stay on Qingsu Island, give her a place to live."

Su Qing was no saint, but he wasn’t a villain either. There was nothing he could have done about her parents.

The reason Su Qing was doing this was to see if a person of such immense luck could defeat him, if they could surpass his own rate of progress!

’One Immortal Scripture, so what?’

’I refuse to believe that anyone in this world could cultivate as quickly as I can.’

"Yes, Master."

"Anything else?" Su Qing asked.

"Yes! A family from the Abyss Sea is trying to use their power to pressure Qingsu Island and force your master to marry into their family."

"Oh?" Su Qing raised an eyebrow.

’How interesting.’

"However, because your Array Plate is here, that family can no longer enter Qingsu Island. Furthermore, all Spirit Medicine trade with them has been forbidden."

"What’s the highest level of strength in their family?" Su Qing asked softly.

"Two Sixth Realm Cultivators who have lived for ten thousand years. Their family is the Abyss Sea Royal Family."

"That’s all? Just pressuring them like this isn’t enough. Inform all the other powers: if anyone dares to do any business with that family, Qingsu Island will cut off all Spirit Medicine trade with them."

"Anything else? Spit it out." Su Qing urged Xiaoqing to hurry.

"No, Master. That was the only major issue."

"Alright then."

Su Qing sighed.

"You can go play. I need to think things over by myself."

Xiaoqing flew away.

Su Qing rubbed the bridge of his nose. He still wasn’t very good at this kind of management.

But when it came to building things, Su Qing really did have some ideas.

He still remembered his days studying at the Zhengxuan Sect.

Making Flying Magical Artifacts.

He wanted to make Flying Magical Artifacts and also set up mass production, because Flying Magical Artifacts would facilitate communication.

It would also be beneficial for the development of his Qingsu Island.

At some point, Luo Xingya had come to Su Qing’s side.

When Su Qing saw her, he said, "Xingya, let’s get something good to eat. And have the others join us."
