My son-in-law from a celestial sect, all my offspring are Heavenly Emperors.
Chapter 18: A Slap in the Face, Kneel Down!
Upon hearing Chu Tianxing's words, Qin Xuan'er's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she looked at Chu Tianxing with some disbelief.
She had initially felt some surprise and anticipation, but at this moment, Chu Tianxing poured cold water on her, leaving her feeling utterly disheartened.
In fact, Qin Xuan'er didn't have any hope for Chu Tianxing either.
But she still hoped for a miracle.
"You'd better kneel down and bark like a dog." Qin Chu said with a sneer.
"I don't have any spirit stones, but I have something else I can use as collateral." Chu Tianxing took in everyone's expressions.
He had anticipated this situation.
For no other reason than that he is a mortal with no cultivation. If he were to open his Purple Mansion space and take out the spirit stones inside, it would be quite shocking and would also easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
Now, he has no way to protect himself, and he doesn't want to expose some of his secrets too early.
But he still needed to save face, which could also be seen as giving Qin Xuan'er some confidence.
"You used other things to pay off your debt. You're just a mortal, what treasure do you have worth more than two hundred low-grade spirit stones?" Qin Chu couldn't help but sneer.
"That's right, you're just a mortal, what treasures do you have?" someone couldn't help but sneer.
"Whether I have treasures or not is not for you to judge with your own brains." Chu Tianxing couldn't help but sneer. These lackeys were really loyal, each of them looking down on people like dogs.
"You... kid, today I'll see what tricks you can pull." Qin Chu's lackeys and followers were so angry that they were glaring at each other.
"How many spirit stones is this thing worth?" Chu Tianxing asked as he took out a ginseng root worth three hundred spirit stones from his pocket.
In the past few days, Chu Tianxing has accelerated the ripening of two more ginseng plants that are three hundred years old in his Purple Mansion space.
This thing isn't very big; it doesn't take up as much space as those two hundred low-grade spirit stones.
"Take out this piece of junk and consider it a family heirloom." Chu Tianxing's three hundred ginseng roots weren't packaged in a brocade box, but rather wrapped in a tattered cloth. Because they had just been taken out of his Purple Mansion space, they were still very fresh, with dirt still clinging to them.
This immediately drew another round of sarcastic remarks from Qin Chu and others.
A pig with a scallion stuck in its nose, trying to look like an elephant.
This was the first time Qin Xuan'er had ever frowned. She felt a little embarrassed, as she was clearly putting on a brave face.
"Whether this thing is trash or not is not up to you to decide, but rather up to the appraisers at the Spirit Medicine Pavilion," Chu Tianxing couldn't help but sneer.
"Fine, since you want to die, then I'll let you die knowing exactly how. I want to see just how much this thing of yours is worth." Qin Chu couldn't help but sneer.
Soon, Chu Tianxing handed the spiritual herb to the appraiser at the Spiritual Herb Pavilion for identification.
Instantly, all eyes were on the appraisers at Lingyao Pavilion.
"This is a ginseng that is three hundred years old, and it is a top-grade one among three-hundred-year-old ginseng. It is in perfect condition, with no loss of nutrients. Its value is three hundred low-grade spirit stones. If it were auctioned, its value would be even higher," the appraiser said confidently.
"Is this real? Are you sure you're not mistaken? This ginseng is 300 years old and worth 300 low-grade spirit stones." Qin Chu's follower stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. This seemingly worthless junk, picked up from a garbage dump, was actually worth more than 300 low-grade spirit stones.
"Are you questioning my abilities?" The appraiser stared coldly at the other party with a gloomy face, and a powerful pressure was released from the other party's body.
This person was actually one of the few Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Qin family.
Instantly, the person who had spoken shut his mouth and looked at the other person with some fear.
He could question anyone, but he couldn't question the appraisal ability of a Foundation Establishment realm expert.
If the other party says it's worth 300 low-grade spirit stones, then it really is worth 300 low-grade spirit stones.
"I remember you bought a 300-year-old ginseng from the family's medica pavilion before. Today, you've brought out another 300-year-old ginseng. Can you tell me where you found this ginseng?" Qin Yuanming looked at Chu Tianxing expectantly.
The fact that such a rare medicinal herb, over three hundred years old, could be discovered in such a short time indicates that it is an untapped treasure trove. If the family were to acquire such a treasure trove, the Qin family's strength would definitely increase dramatically.
"Why should I tell you?" Chu Tianxing rolled his eyes.
This was his secret, and he would never tell the other party.
"You..." Qin Yuanming frowned, wanting to lash out, but he held back in the end and gave the other person a deep look.
Such a secret, let alone Chu Tianxing, even he himself would not reveal it.
Chu Tianxing knew that doing this would offend the other party, but he had no other choice.
He had to make some choices, because the moment he took out the elixir, he became the target of everyone's criticism.
"Alright, am I qualified to purchase these Grade 3 healing pills?" Chu Tianxing then looked at Qin Chu and his follower.
At this moment, Qin Chu felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a dead fly.
"You..." Qin Chu wanted to renege on his debt, but he noticed that Qin Xuan'er was glaring at him sharply.
"Kneel down," Qin Xuan'er said coldly.
"Cousin, do you have to be so aggressive?" Qin Chu's face was ugly. Was he, a man of noble status, really inferior to a son-in-law?
"Am I being aggressive? It's you who are being aggressive and going too far," Qin Xuan'er sneered.
This retribution came way too fast!
"Qin Xuan'er, what is my status, and what is his status? He's just a live-in son-in-law. Are you going to go against me for his sake?" Qin Chu's face was gloomy; he was utterly speechless.
Qin Xuan'er actually protected Chu Tianxing, that good-for-nothing.
"A bet is a bet, Qin Chu. Since you lost, you should keep your promise," Qin Yuanming suddenly said.
If it were just Qin Xuan'er, Qin Chu wouldn't even give her a second thought.
But at this moment, Qin Yuanming, a clan elder at the Foundation Establishment stage, actually supported Chu Tianxing. Would he dare to go against him?
"Ninth Elder, I am the direct descendant of the Qin family. Am I not as good as Chu Tianxing, an outsider?" Qin Chu's face was terribly gloomy, as if it could drip water.
"A bet is a bet. Since you made a promise, you should keep it. If he loses today, will you let him off the hook?" Qin Mingyuan clearly wanted to improve his relationship with Chu Tianxing, so he put pressure on Qin Chu directly.
Qin Chu was just a spoiled brat, while Chu Tianxing was a spiritual herb that could provide his family with medicines that were three hundred years old. Naturally, he would make the choice.
"Kid, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Chu Tianxing? Do you really want to stick your neck out to the end?" Qin Yuanming's voice exploded in Qin Chu's mind.
Qin Chu glanced at Qin Yuanming with some surprise. Sure enough, the clan elder was still on his side.
