Endless Ascension

Chapter 37: Chapter 37, Negotiating Conditions ?

In the private room, Xiao Ruqian's eyes were dull. After a long time, her complexion began to change slowly, eventually turning purple. Her eyes were extremely angry as she roared, "Qin Ze, you will regret this..."

When she said this, Qin Ze had already walked out long ago.

Regret? Any man would regret marrying such a woman. She was already like that at the age of sixteen. Who knows how many green hats one would have to wear in the future?

————————

Qin Ze's mood gradually improved. After having something to eat, he wondered in his heart why Fatty and Hei Yan hadn't returned yet. Don't they eat when cultivating?

They are too diligent!

Suddenly thinking that he had consumed over six thousand points of qi energy today, Qin Ze felt a pang of pain in his heart. He was prepared to go to the edge of the Kunlun Mountains to hunt demonic beasts and accumulate more qi energy. It was never a bad thing after all.

After explaining a few words to Zhang Dafu, he then headed towards the north of the city.

The Kunlun Mountains were some distance from Qinghe City. There was a post station in the north of the city that provided all kinds of means of transportation such as horses or tamed demonic beasts. For them, traveling several tens of kilometers would only take an hour or so.

Qin Ze was too lazy to waste qi energy running there and directly rented a horse at the post station. Just as he got on the horse's back, a servant of the Qin family ran over, panting heavily, and walked up to Qin Ze, breathing heavily, "Young Master Qin,,, the clan leader requests your presence."

"What does he want with me?"

Qin Ze guessed secretly in his heart and then asked, "Did the clan leader say anything about it?"

The servant had run too hastily, and his face was bright red. Apparently, his cultivation level was very low. He was so tired from just this short distance. It was likely that his strength was not even at the third stage of the warrior level. He took several deep breaths and his complexion improved slightly, saying, "The clan leader didn't say. He just asked you to return to the Qin family. He said there was something to discuss."

Qin Ze's question was in vain. How could Qin Zhantian tell such matters to a servant? At the moment, he didn't think too much about it. After dismounting, he followed the servant towards the direction of the Qin family.

Although he didn't like Qin Zhantian's actions, after all, the man was the clan leader of the Qin family, and he still had to show some respect. After all, he needed to make use of the Qin family.

On the way, Qin Ze secretly guessed in his heart what Qin Zhantian wanted to talk to him about. Something to discuss? What could it be that he could discuss with him? Big matters wouldn't be up to him to interfere anyway.

"Could it be that the Zhao family sent someone to argue?"

Thinking of Zhao Jiannan's embarrassed look, Qin Ze couldn't help but laugh. The Zhao family wouldn't come to the door for such a disgraceful matter. Who would be willing to publicize such a humiliating thing?

Of course, the Zhao family never suffered losses. Zhao Jiannan suffered a loss temporarily but would surely seek revenge in the future. But by then, it would be hard to say whether Qin Ze would still be in Qinghe City.

The Qin family was located in the north of the city, so Qin Ze arrived at the Qin family very soon.

After the servant led him to Qin Zhantian's private residence, he respectfully said towards the door, "Report to the clan leader, Young Master Qin Ze has arrived."

After a short while, Qin Zhantian opened the door, looked at Qin Ze and smiled, "Xiaotian, come in quickly."

Looking at Qin Zhantian's kind smile, Qin Ze knew that it definitely wasn't anything good.

Qin Ze respectfully bowed slightly and walked into the room.

The layout of the room was very elegant, like that of a literary scholar's. There were several wild cursive calligraphy and paintings hanging in the room. The strokes were like dragons and snakes, vigorous and powerful. Qin Ze secretly thought in his heart, "I never thought Qin Zhantian had such refinement."

Qin Zhantian also smiled faintly. Besides cultivation, he also had deep attainments in calligraphy practice. However, he didn't like to show off these skills.

After Qin Zhantian sat down, he motioned for Qin Ze to sit down and casually said, "We have to thank you for rooting out the moths in the library."

Qin Ze smiled faintly and said, "This is what a child of the Qin family should do. I couldn't stand the embezzlement, so I..."

Qin Zhantian narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Ze. Then, he didn't want to beat around the bush and straightforwardly said, "In half a month, it will be the Four Families Invitational Tournament of Qinghe City. The elders' council unanimously decided to have you represent the Qin family in the tournament. Are you willing?"

"The Four Families Invitational Tournament?" Qin Ze was stunned for a moment. Remembering Zhao Yi's words in the afternoon, he suddenly understood. However, he secretly smiled slyly in his heart. Of course, he could participate in the tournament, but without some benefits, he was too lazy to move. It would be better to spend more time killing monsters and upgrading.

At the moment, Qin Ze showed a look of difficulty and respectfully said, "Clan leader, my cultivation is only at the eighth stage of the warrior level. How could I represent the Qin family? I'm definitely not up to the task. Besides, I'm still recovering my strength and need a lot of pills and time to recuperate..."

While speaking, Qin Ze gently glanced at Qin Zhantian, showing a look of difficulty. Seeing Qin Zhantian remain silent, he continued, "Recently, I'm preparing to make a breakthrough to the Dynamic Realm, but my body can't keep up..."

"Alright, I understand."

Qin Zhantian naturally understood the meaning in Qin Ze's words and laughed, asking, "Can you really break through to the Dynamic Realm?"

"If there are enough pills, it should be no problem..." Qin Ze didn't dare to speak too confidently. However, it shouldn't be too difficult to advance two levels in half a month, as long as no one interfered.

"Pills are not a problem. I'll give you as many as you want, but you must break through to the Dynamic Realm within half a month." Qin Zhantian showed a look of joy. If Qin Ze could really break through to the Dynamic Realm, then there was great hope of winning the first place in this family invitational tournament.

"Clan leader, since you've said so, I can only go all out to break through to the Dynamic Realm. I don't know when the pills will..."

Qin Ze had an expression of having gained an advantage but still acting coy, secretly feeling happy in his heart.

Qin Zhantian was generous enough this time. He took out ten bottles of Nourishing Spirit Pills from the space bracelet at once and said, "Here are a hundred Nourishing Spirit Pills. You can take fifty pills first. The other fifty pills, you can come and collect anytime if you break through to the Dynamic Realm within half a month."

"If you can win the first place in this tournament, in addition to the tournament rewards, the Qin family will also reward you with a medium-grade spiritual weapon."

"Medium-grade spiritual weapon?" Qin Ze was secretly stunned. Weapons were even scarcer than pills. Let alone medium-grade spiritual weapons, even low-grade spiritual weapons were hard to come by at a high price.

He wondered why Qin Zhantian was so generous this time? Or did he have some other conspiracy?

But it was a medium-grade spiritual weapon! Even Hei Yan at the Tempering Gang Realm didn't have a decent weapon. Qin Zhantian offered a medium-grade spiritual weapon right away. Qin Ze felt a bit excited...

The reason why Qin Zhantian was so generous this time was entirely due to the pressure from the elders' council.

Since he became the clan leader of the Qin family, they had never achieved good results in the Four Families Invitational Tournament. If they were at the bottom again this time, it was hard to guarantee that his position as the clan leader wouldn't be affected.

When he learned that Qin Ze defeated Zhao Yi, who was at the third stage of the Dynamic Realm, in the afternoon, he was overjoyed in his heart.

Besides, he had another reason.

Did Qin Ze take the core of the Violent Golden Ape?

If Qin Ze absorbed the core, his rise would be astonishingly fast within three years. He had to know this and couldn't let anyone threaten his position as the clan leader.

Qin Zhantian was very narrow-minded and couldn't tolerate anyone.
